The Five Immortal Paths of Heaven, Earth, Man, God, and Ghost, were elucidated by the Longevity Daoist Pei Xuanjing as the path to certify oneself as a True Immortal.
It can be said that after Pei Xuanjing delineated the Five Immortal Paths, he became the strongest in the world. Numerous other powerful beings followed this path to gain strength, and it undoubtedly became the Great Tao, unquestionably orthodox within the worldly cultivation systems.
Even when the Heavenly Court later discovered innumerable worlds and various cultivation systems emerged, these systems were integrated into these five paths, serving as vital provisions for these Five Immortal Paths.
If any cultivation method failed to integrate into the Five Immortal Paths, it was considered as a side sect and inherently inferior, not capable of challenging the orthodox position.
