"For independent practitioners or those without the backing of major forces, the path of Earth Immortal is so slim it's almost negligible," once lamented a supreme expert among the independents.
If among the five paths to Becoming Immortal, the path of Ghost Immortal is tricky and mysterious, the path of Immortal depends on the Power of Incense Fire, the path of Human Immortal tests one's own will, and the path of Heavenly Immortal has requirements for talent, then the path of Earth Immortal demands the greatest wealth from a cultivator.
The path of Earth Immortal doesn't have high requirements for talent, but the resource demands are unimaginable.
Without the support of major forces and sufficient resources, one should not even think about following the path of Earth Immortal.
