Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

The old Profound Turtle continued: ”The so-called Four Steps are Refining Spirit into Qi, Refining Qi to Spirit, Refining Spirit and Returning to Void, and Refining Void and Harmonization; a further step leads to the realm of Immortal True Immortal!” ”And if subdivided further, it splits into Eight Realms.” ”Refining Spirit into Qi comprises the Postnatal and Perception realms; the former refines the essence of the body, while the latter perceives the qi of heaven and earth. Corresponding to your Martial Realm’s cultivation system, the Postnatal Realm corresponds to the cultivation before the Primordial Core Realm, and the Perception Realm is similar to the Celestial Human Realm.” ”Refining Qi to Spirit includes the Magic and Purple Mansion realms. The Magic Realm refines spiritual qi into magical power, corresponding to your Martial Saint Realm, while the Purple Mansion Realm involves condensing Innate Divine Techniques to open, corresponding to your Divine Power Realm for breaking through realms, but strictly speaking, the Divine Power Realm is not a complete Purple Mansion Realm and needs further improvement.”

Ning Qi listened very intently, feeling as if a door to a new world was opening before him. ”Refining Spirit and Returning to Void includes the Primordial Spirit and Void Path realms.” ”Refining Void and Harmonization includes the Integration and Harmonization realms.” ”Cultivators of the Unity Realm are the strongest that the Spirit Realm can accommodate, living for an era! Though that was in the past, there must now be powerful Spirit Realms breaking the limit, with True Immortals born.”

Ning Qi’s heart rippled.

Even though the Immortal Realm has declined, this is a path to longevity and becoming a True Immortal.

He had for the first time such a clear direction.

He suppressed the turmoil in his heart.

Ning Qi took a deep breath and asked again: ”Since senior and the True Martial Hall come from the True Martial Realm, why did you come to the Martial Realm?”

The old man’s figure slightly paused, and after a moment he slowly began to speak: ”Because the True Martial Realm is no more.”

In Ning Qi’s eyes was a slight trace of apology, but before he could speak, the old man waved it off: ”It’s okay, this was a long time ago. The True Martial Realm’s strongest dominator was the True Martial Immortal Sect, and I came from there; at that time I was merely an egg, with only a vague consciousness, faintly feeling an astonishing battle erupt.” ”Afterwards, a mark told me, from then onwards, I was the flame inheritor of the True Martial Immortal Sect. Wandering in the Sea of Realms for an unknown length of time, the True Martial Hall’s power nearly exhausted, it finally fell into the Martial Realm to avoid pursuit, and I was born here. In a way, I am also half a person of the Martial Realm.”

He spoke with a hint of bitterness and resignation to fate: ”Later, I received some memory infusion and came to know, the True Martial Realm was destroyed by the Mountain and Sea Realm.”

If born normally in the True Martial Realm, his strength would be much more than it is now.

But destiny toys with people.

Now, he is trapped in this cage, unable to break free.

Unable to ascend, and with the True Martial Hall damaged, it lost the ability to traverse worlds.

He is now bound to the fate of the Martial Realm; if eaten by the Mountain and Sea Realm’s essence, the True Martial Heritage will be wholly severed. ”At first, they were also eggs like me, later coming into the world one after another, but they are different from me. I am the flame inheritor of the True Martial Immortal Sect and can set foot in the True Martial Hall, whereas they cannot even step out of the True Martial Hall, lacking freedom.”

The old Profound Turtle gazed at the Spirit Beasts faintly visible in the White Mist with some pity and regret.

To lack freedom is indeed frightening.

Ning Qi respectfully saluted: ”Thank you for enlightening me, senior.”

At this point, he fully understood the events of the Ancient Era.

He processed the information learned today, encompassing vast matters, greatly expanding his vision. Although the crisis is presently approaching, at least he knows the cause and effect and won’t spin around like a headless fly.
