Chapter 121: Chapter 110: A Talented Alchemy Prodigy, The Mysteries of the Divine Strength Realm!_2
“”Uncle Shennong, what spell did you just cast?”
Shennong Youtian smiled upon hearing the question and said,
“It’s the Earth Dragon Technique passed down from my ancestors. I use it for farming, which makes the Spirit Field much more fertile!”
Upon hearing this, Su Xing’s body stiffened for a moment, and thoughts tumbled through his mind.
Earth Dragon Technique!?
Isn’t that one of the spells recorded in the ‘Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique’? Why would Uncle Shennong here know it?
And the name of Uncle Shennong…
For a time, Su Xing’s mind was flooded with thoughts.
Initially, Su Xing did not associate Shennong Youtian with the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique; although the names were similar, after all, one came from his master Qing Yunzi, and this place was the Luo Tian Sect, which was vastly different from the Qingyun Sect…
But now, Su Xing could not help but connect the two.
After careful consideration, Su Xing still couldn’t figure it out.
“Uncle Shennong, could it be that the ancestral technique you speak of is the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique?”
Su Xing directly asked.
Shennong Youtian was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said,
“What’s been passed down in my family is just some farming stuff, nothing with such an imposing name… Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique, that’s quite the impressive title!”
Seeing Shennong Youtian’s denial, Su Xing frowned slightly and mused to himself,
“It seems I can only investigate this matter later. There may be a connection between the two, but it’s not clear at the moment…”
Soon after, Su Xing escorted Shennong Youtian into the Luotian Meeting Instance.
Then, Su Xing stood by his master Niu Ruolie and reported back.
Niu Ruolie nodded in satisfaction with Su Xing, his face unable to suppress a smile as he said,
“Good disciple, if you have any questions, just ask! Today is a good day for me to give you some guidance!”
Filled with joy at his master’s words, Su Xing voiced the doubts in his heart,
“Master, what exactly is the difference between the Divine Strength Realm and the Origin Martial Realm? How can one in the Origin Martial Realm better break through to the Divine Strength Realm?”
Niu Ruolie laughed heartily upon hearing this and spoke proudly,
“Good disciple, the Origin Martial Realm is the stage of mastering Origin Force, and it marks the beginning of the journey on the path of Body Cultivation. Compared to the Organ Refining Realm, one’s strength and physique grow tremendously at this stage, but the greatest use is the mastery of Origin Force. If one masters enough skilled Origin Force during this period, the benefits in the future are endless!”
Pausing for a moment, Niu Ruolie continued,
“However, Cultivators in the Divine Strength Realm mark the true beginning of might for Body Refinement Cultivators! Before reaching the Divine Strength Realm, Body Refinement Cultivators and Qi Cultivation Cultivators each have their own strengths; even the strongest Body Refinement Cultivator, when facing those Qi Cultivation Cultivators who command strange techniques, might be at a disadvantage.”
“But the Divine Strength Realm is the start of true supremacy, where a Body Refinement Cultivator can shatter all spells with brute force!”
“Because once a Cultivator in the Origin Martial Realm breaks through to the Divine Strength Realm, their strength will double! A million jin of strength for an Origin Martial Cultivator will surge to two million jin! A Cultivator with three million jin of higher divine strength will be able to soar to six million jin!”
Su Xing’s eyes shimmered with shock upon hearing this. The Divine Strength Realm, so it was, your strength doubles upon breakthrough!
Seeing the amazement in Su Xing’s eyes, Niu Ruolie chuckled and said,
“Good disciple, that’s just the beginning!”
“The Divine Strength Realm isn’t simply about doubling your strength! In the nine levels of Divine Power, your strength increases by thirty percent with each level! When reaching the Great Perfection of the Divine Strength Realm, your strength will be ten times that of a Cultivator who has just entered the first level of Divine Strength!”
Su Xing was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up with elation.
Great Perfection of the Divine Strength Realm, your strength is ten times that of when you first entered the realm!?
By that calculation… if Su Xing’s initial strength is five million jin, then it would become ten million jin upon reaching the Divine Strength Realm!
Ten times that would be… a hundred million jin!?
Or to say, a colossal strength of fifty thousand tons!
With such pure physical strength, he could lift an aircraft carrier!
Wouldn’t it be fair to say that this was truly the power to move mountains and reclaim seas?
If one were to be struck by such a fist… hiss, who could withstand that?
At this moment, Su Xing’s gaze darted around excitedly.
Seeing the fervor in Su Xing’s eyes, Niu Ruolie said,
“Hahaha, good disciple! And that’s not all!”
“The Divine Strength Realm is a special realm! Within this realm, no matter how fast your Cultivation Level increases or how solid your foundation is, the increase in strength is fixed at ten times!”
“So, this shows just how important it is to have a solid foundation in the Origin Martial Realm! The stronger one is in the Origin Martial Realm, the stronger they will be in the Divine Strength Realm! The strong grow stronger, and the weak grow weaker!”
“During the Origin Martial Realm period, one must perfect their strength as much as possible so that they can unleash even greater potential when they reach the Divine Strength Realm!”
Su Xing nodded upon hearing this, reckoning that the enhancement from breaking through to the Divine Strength Realm could be an astonishing twenty times greater once one reached the Great Perfection level of the Origin Martial Realm!
Therefore, the greater one’s strength in the Origin Martial Realm and the more solid the foundation, the stronger they would be later on. That’s the logic!
Thinking of this, Su Xing expressed some doubts:
“Master, then what constitutes perfection in cultivation of the Origin Martial Realm?”
Niu Ruolie thought for a moment and said:
“Origin Martial Realm cultivators are generally divided into three levels.”
“A lower-grade Great Perfection in the Origin Martial Realm has a strength of one million catties, and seven or eight out of ten Body Refinement Cultivators are like this.”
“A mid-grade Great Perfection in the Origin Martial Realm has a strength of two million catties, and among Body Refinement Cultivators, only one or two out of ten can achieve this.”
“An upper-grade Great Perfection in the Origin Martial Realm has a strength of three million catties; among a hundred Body Refinement Cultivators, only one or two could reach such Divine Power…”
“If an upper-grade Origin Martial Realm cultivator breaks through to the Divine Strength Realm, then their final strength could even reach sixty million catties! Shattering mountains and rivers with one punch would not be out of the question!”
Upon hearing this, Su Xing was momentarily stunned and blurted out:
“Then what if one has a strength of five million catties?”
Upon hearing this, Niu Ruolie let out a hearty laugh and said:
“Foolish boy, don’t jest!”
“Even when I was considered the number one person under the age of a hundred in the Luo Tian Realm in terms of Body Cultivation, my strength was only four million catties. When I broke through to the Great Perfection of the Divine Strength Realm, my strength was eighty million catties, earning me the title of the strongest in ten thousand years in the Luo Tian Realm!”
As Niu Ruolie spoke, a touch of pride appeared on his face:
“I do not expect you to be as powerful as I was. As long as you reach a strength of three million five hundred thousand catties, you won’t bring shame to your master…”
Listening to Niu Ruolie’s words, Su Xing’s face revealed a hint of peculiarity. A strength of three million five hundred thousand catties — he had already reached that long ago!
But now he already had a strength of five million catties, and there was even the possibility of further growth… Does this not count as normal?
Thus, Su Xing persisted and asked:
“Master, are there truly no individuals capable of breaking through to the Divine Strength Realm with a strength of five million catties?”
Niu Ruolie considered for a moment, then replied:
“I have heard that, in Ancient Times, there was a clan known as the Witch Clan. The members of the Witch Clan possessed Innate Divine Strength and formidable physiques. Ordinary individuals among them stood over ten meters tall, while the Witch Clan giants reached an astounding hundred meters!”
“It is said that the Witch Clan is also rumored to be the origin of the path of Body Cultivation…”
“Among them, if a member of the Witch Clan reached the Great Perfection of the Origin Martial Realm, it is possible they could possess a strength of five million catties, and even more exceptional individuals, ten million catties… The reason they could reach such strength is because they were born consuming the flesh and Flesh Essence of Demonic Beasts, things that we in the Luo Tian Realm do not have, and thus we are weaker than them… Of course, this is all just legend…”
Su Xing’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.
Ancient Times, Witch Clan strength of ten million catties… consuming Demonic Beasts’ Flesh Essence… How are these Demonic Beasts related to those of the Demon-Subduing Pass?
Su Xing thoroughly digested the knowledge imparted by Niu Ruolie and finally asked:
“Master, how does one break through from the Origin Martial Realm to the Divine Strength Realm?”
Upon hearing this, Niu Ruolie laughed heartily and said:
“Origin Martial Realm cultivators would rather stay in their current realm for a few more years! Doing so would raise their future potential. Why are you already thinking about breaking through?”
“Generally, for a Great Perfection cultivator in the Origin Martial Realm, when strength can no longer be increased, they may take a Divine Strength Pill to break through, because reaching the extreme limit of the flesh signifies they are at the peak…”
After hearing Niu Ruolie’s words, Su Xing became contemplative.
Soon, the immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world.
Su Xing muttered to himself in deep thought:
“So, the longer one remains in the Origin Martial Realm, the more beneficial it is?”
“Ordinary Origin Martial Realm cultivators have a lifespan of just five hundred years… How much longer can they stay?”
Su Xing shook his head slightly and turned his attention back to the simulation panel.
[You left the Luotian Meeting Instance feeling profoundly moved.]
[In the months that followed, you continued to search for the limits of your strength, but disappointingly discovered that without the Flesh Essence of Demonic Beasts, the increase in your physical strength became slow.]
[Just when you felt disheartened, Wang Qingxuan found you, and overnight, you joined the Descending Sect.]
[You revealed your strength and talent in Alchemy to the Descending Sect, successfully joining the faction under Luo Shuying.]
