For immortals who have cultivated infinite energy, swimming downstream can lead to the end of the supreme primordial wilderness, while swimming upstream makes it impossible to find the end of the illusory sea.
However, Patriarch Xuanzhen pointed out in "The True Record of Patriarch Xuanzhen," page 125, that it is fundamentally unimportant that the upper layers of the illusory sea have no end.
This is because the prosperity of the entire illusory sea civilization is only reflected in the deepest sea areas. From the deepest sea areas to the deep sea areas, shallow sea areas, and the shallowest sea areas, it decreases successively. Such desolate and unprosperous places are extremely barren to the extreme.
Since they are barren to the extreme, the meaningless areas of the illusory sea are of no significance to true immortals. The upper world is naturally meaningless. The more one explores upwards, the less prosperous it becomes, and the more desolate it becomes, with no trace of any created worlds in the illusory sea.

The book "The Record of the Sun Star" records the scene where Daoist Lu Ya killed the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Fox Ancestor replaced Pangu.
In the mythical primordial wilderness, there is no Witch tribe at all. Instead, the Demon Emperor Lu Ya rules the entire mythical primordial wilderness with three hundred and sixty-five Great Luo Immortals.
In "The Scroll of True Saints," it is recorded:
The Dao of the True Saint cannot be sought, the principle of the True Saint cannot be known, and the method of the True Saint cannot be learned.
Anyone who claims to have defeated a True Saint has only defeated a projection of a True Saint. The True Saint permanently resides on a higher level, looking down upon the triumphant victor.
"The Record of the Sun Star" states: There are no True Saints in the world, only false saints who bear the name of True Saints and act as True Saints.
"Confucius's Anecdotes, Implementing the Case of Pangu's Successor" states: The Chaos Era is endless, and the Long-Headed King speaks of eras.
"The Chapter of Star Lords" states: The sea is the continent, and the continent is above the sea. However, are the sea and the continent truly "true one"? It is doubtful. The supreme primordial wilderness appears powerful, but how can one know if it is not within the lower narrative controlled by other cultivators?
Ultimately, it is merely the upper narrative creator, who, by chance, obtained a marvelous Dao in a created world within the illusory sea, and thus wrote the so-called continent and sea.
The continent is not a true continent, and that so-called true reality is merely a false reality.
The True One Realm is not truly one.
"The Records of Qingxuan's Creation" states that in the Lingkong Heavenly Domain, there is a Golden Immortal named Qingxuan. Qingxuan created a realm, deduced the Golden Immortal Dao fruit, and has experienced two Great Tribulations until now.
"The Record of the Spiritual Treasure Immortal Venerable" states: The most comfortable posture is to gnaw on immortal herbs and reveal one's appearance.
"The Pinnacle of Martial Arts" states: ...
These books are now scattered, and their whereabouts are unknown, as are the narrative layers and locations they belong to.
...
The Divine Realm.
Fang Ming sat cross-legged, cultivating, as streams of Qi Yuan condensed in his lower dantian.
A powerful aura emanated from him.
His Qi Yuan level was becoming higher and higher.
He had now far surpassed his previous Qi Yuan tenth stage.
With his current cultivation, it was much easier to contact his many avatars than before.
At this moment, Fang Ming could sense his avatars during the day, rather than only dreaming about what his many avatars were doing in the illusory sea at night.
Due to the difference in time flow, Fang Ming had already sensed six months ago that in a certain created world within the illusory sea, one of his avatars was holding the Tianyuan Jade, collecting emotional values, and ultimately not only propelled the Blue Star forward but also launched an expedition to the extragalactic galaxy.
However, without illusory sea technology, it could not pose any threat to Fang Ming himself, so Fang Ming had not bothered with that clone.
Ziyun Academy, as the foremost academy in the Tianyuan Kingdom, was usually a place of great harmony.
As Fang Ming walked through the academy, he was met with admiring and infatuated gazes.
As a representative of peak颜值 (yan zhi - appearance), Fang Ming was very accustomed to such gazes.
As the saying goes, what one experiences for a long time, one becomes accustomed to. Fang Ming was now the same. He had experienced these things long ago, so he was very accustomed to his own appearance and to the way others looked at him.
But today seemed different.
A male student, also wearing the standard uniform of Ziyun Academy, blocked his path.
Fang Ming first looked at the male student with confusion, but he did not sense any admiration from him. Instead, there was a sense of hostility, which immediately made him realize that this was an enemy.
Strange, he hadn't provoked any enemies in the academy, so why would there be an enemy?
"Fang Ming! Do you dare to fight me directly on the life-and-death stage?"
This arrogant young man suddenly said this to Fang Ming, and his tone was furious.
Fang Ming was completely bewildered: "Who are you?"
"Besides, Ziyun Academy doesn't have a life-and-death stage. Where did you get this concept of life-and-death pacts?"
"Where did you get this from?"
Fang Ming was truly bewildered.
Putting aside whether Ziyun Academy had a life-and-death stage, suddenly a mysterious person appeared and wanted to fight you to the death. Even if it were someone else, they would have the same attitude.
A bewildered attitude.
Fang Ming's attitude was very normal.
Although he had experienced many things and was a powerful figure, in this Divine Realm, Fang Ming's cultivation was not high. He could not directly search the young man's memories, nor did he have the power to directly investigate his identity.
Since this was the case, Fang Ming was completely ignorant. In such a sudden situation, his attitude was obvious.
The arrogant young man was stumped by Fang Ming's mention of the absence of a life-and-death stage. He then said, "I am Sima Feibai, and my father is a third-rank general in the capital!"
After revealing his identity, Sima Feibai directly said, "Fang Ming, ever since you came to the academy, my girlfriend has been secretly in love with you and has confessed to you, abandoning me. What trick did you use?"
Two sentences.
With just two sentences, he not only revealed his identity but also let Fang Ming understand what was going on. At the same time, it also let the many students who were watching the commotion know what had happened.
This way of speaking was indeed skillful.
So it turned out that his girlfriend had been stolen, and he couldn't bear it, so he came to cause trouble.
Fang Ming also understood what was happening, but he quickly replied, "There are too many young men and women who have confessed to me. I don't know who your girlfriend is. Can you tell me her name so I can remember?"
His girlfriend was stolen, and the love rival didn't even remember her name.
This fact shocked the surrounding students.
"What? I thought Fang Ming knew. So Fang Ming didn't even fancy her?"
"What is Fang Ming's appearance like? Don't you know this yet? Isn't this very normal?"
"Then Fang Ming is completely bewildered by Sima Feibai's challenge? He was just walking, and someone wants to challenge him?"
"That's just bad luck."
"What is a life-and-death stage? Fang Ming is right, our academy doesn't have such a facility. In a place like an academy, if a private fight results in death, the academy's upper management will be furious. Even unofficial casualties are not allowed, let alone official ones."
