John was busy enriching his database with knowledge.

He planned to read through every single book written on the surface. This was a massive undertaking.

But he was soon contacted by his body in the cultivation world.

The one he had disconnected his private consciousness from.

At first. He thought it was because he had broken through to spirit severing. But it had only been a few years, so this was not the case.

It turned out that his friend that gave him 'Soul Domain'. The entire reason he was able to create his Infinite Maze dimension and have it fused with his soul, they needed help.

This persons name was Yuanle Buxiu.

As John's body in the cultivation world was nascent soul. Even though John had disconnected it from his private consciousness. It continued to cultivate.

But breaking through to spirit severing was far harder then becoming a nascent soul. You had to comprehend the structure of your soul and sever something from it.

This would be easy for John now, with his current knowledge of the soul.

The instant he reconnected to his body in the cultivation world.

He could feel the barrier to spirit severing.

There was just one question. What should he sever from his phantom soul of that body?

Sitting across from him drinking tea was Yuanle Buxiu!

"I see that you have used my technique."

"It is quite good! What did you want to talk about?"

"I wish for your help."

"My help? What could I possibly help you with?"

"I know you've created your own universe. I also wish to do this. But my talent in formations can't match you. I need your help."

John agreed as long as he helped him breakthrough to spirit severing.

"You don't know what to sever from your soul? Well, you don't use your real soul. So it shouldn't matter too much. I recommend severing desire. With those emotions gone, you won't have to worry about temptations."

"Hmm... is it possible to sever my limits?"

Yuanle's eyes widened.

"The tribulation you'll face... maybe you could pull it off."

John placed breaking through to spirit severing as something to do later.

Yuanle and John teleported to chaotic space.

Yuanle spoke:

"We should use the same method you used to have you universe rejected and ejected outside of the multiverse."

Soon Yuanle pulled out many heavenly treasures. John was quite jealous at his insane wealth.

He had copious amounts of xylo, fotia, gi, metallo, and nerono.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

He then grasped his soul in his hand.

If John had evil intentions, he could do some damage. But it seemed he was trusted.

John began to work on on the formation, creating the universe for his friend.

When it was finished.

John simply told him to activate the formation using the law he had comprehended.

True immortals were basically almost like rank 7's.

Their bodies had become made of the law they comprehended.

John watched in awe as the universe came into existence from a big bang.

With John's passive spells, and his improved physique.

Along with teleporting out of the main blast. He was completely fine!

Yuanle felt the blessing of the entire universe on him.

"My power has increased by a thousand times! The boost from having your own universe is on an entirely different level! Thanks!"

"Don't mention it. My debt is no more!"

"It was definitely worth the investment."

"Indeed."

John used his skeletal body to return his cultivation body back to the proper cultivation universe.

He then disconnected his private consciousness from it.

John sat on the throne of the stronghold in his universe. This stronghold was completely empty.

"Spirit Severing..."

An idea flashed in John's mind.

"Why not use my universe to control the tribulation?"

John was a single step away from spirit severing.

He just needed to sever something from this phantom soul.

The question remained... what should it be?

The more important the thing is the person. The stronger they will be upon reaching spirit severing.

Some cultivators sever the love of their families.

Some sever their emotions.

John thought about this carefully.

John realized that he still had fears in the back of mind. Fears of getting surrounded by supreme beings and being powerless.

He teleported out of the stronghold and appeared on the other side of the planet.

He began to rotate his nascent soul as he tore off a slice from his nascent soul.

Lightning started to strike him.

But he was quite durable now.

Not to mention, he had protection from his passive spells.

Then with the added immortality. He was completely fine afterwards.

He had become a spirit severing cultivator!

His spiritual sense extended to 10,000 meters.

His seals broke as the explosiveness of his Qi went up a notch.

He reformed his seals as his state upon opening all his seals became 100,000 tons of force.

John felt something a little weird. It was as if all his fears had disappeared.

He felt like he could challenge the entire multiverse! He realized this was a stupid idea and was just a side effect from severing his fear.

He then immediately went in for his second severing! Not allowing himself any rest or breaks.

He noticed that with the absence of fear. His greed had filled the void.

His solution? If an emotion overwhelms him. Sever that emotion!

He severed his greed and went through tribulation again.

His nascent soul began to produce Qi at an insane rate.

He was now a 2nd severing spirit severing cultivator!

He wasn't done yet though.

The peak of spirit severing was 3!

His mind felt incomparably clear. It was as if all desires had become passing clouds.

There was just one thing filling the void of his fear and greed.

It was his desire to improve!

But why would he sever such a thing?

It would be almost impossible to sever his limits in the cultivation world. But it was different in his own universe!

That's right... his last severing was his 'limits'.

He was struck by lightning many meters thick for a full 24 hours.

When he emerged from the pit in the ground. His entire temperament had changed.

His body had black filth all over it.

His body had completely transformed.

His seals still had the same limitations as when he first designed them. But the seventh seal was different now.

Instead of it being 10,000 tons.

It was 500,000 tons!

This wasn't even factoring in devil transformation.

His unlocked power was truly becoming something else.

John was now ready to become a true immortal.

So how did one become a true immortal? They stole the essence of heaven and earth. Normally, there is a limit of true immortals that can exist at one time.

But John was in his own universe! He could plunder to his hearts content.

One had to steal the opportunity when a door to immortality opened up.

You needed to begin to comprehend a law for this door to appear.

John had comprehension initially of Time that he got from that supreme beings inheritance. But he had used it as a energy source and material when creating his universe.

He had lost that comprehension.

The only thing holding back his cultivation was the comprehension of a law.

"Laws... it is always laws that hold me back."

But John wasn't upset. But neither was he happy.

He had lost some of his emotions in this body. His thinking remained unbelievably clear.

"What law should I comprehend? How does one begin to comprehend a law on their own?"

John had officially reached the top of the cultivation world.

But he still was at the bottom of the wizard world.

He may just be rank 2.

But his strength was like that of a rank 5 or 6.

With his mental magic, wizard magic, cultivation, immortality, and soul manipulation.

He was quite strong!
