When Wang Daoyi heard Cui Heng’s calm tone, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Cui Heng’s tone just now gave him a huge psychological pressure.
A dignified Blackhole realm expert like him could be considered an Elder-level expert in the Great Yan Holy Land. Facing this pressure, he almost collapsed to the ground.
If too much time passed, he even felt that his soul was about to collapse.
Fortunately, this pressure had already disappeared. Otherwise, he really did not know how long he could last.
However, even though Wang Daoyi had relaxed a little, he did not dare to be careless in the face of Cui Heng’s question. He hurriedly replied, “Exalted Immortal, I’m a disciple of the Great Yan Holy Land’s Tianqi Mansion, one of the 14 Blackhole Realm Elders.
I came to this Star Sea to investigate Elder Taihong, who had escaped from the Great Yan Holy Land. Back then, he stole the treasure of the Tianqi Mansion, the Six Heaven Gates Diagram, and escaped to this Star Sea.
This Taihong is the God of Creation that this Star Domain mentioned. He has grasped the mysteries of the central silver disc in this Star Sea. Through borrowing the power of the central silver disc, he has completely activated the power of the Six Heaven Gates Diagram.
Hence, there are now six Star Fields and six Heaven Gates. The Heaven Gate absorbs the Great Dao laws of a Star Field and condenses its power characteristics. This power characteristic can then be refined, so there’s a method to advance to the Twelfth Heaven Gate realm…”
According to Wang Daoyi’s description, the reason why Taihong established six Heaven Gates was to absorb the Great Dao laws condensed in this Star Sea and condense them into the characteristics of power. In the end, they would gather on him and help him break through to the Xuan Sea Realm.
Of course, this did not mean that breaking through to the Xuan Sea Realm required absorbing all the Great Dao laws in the Star Sea. It was just that one needed to use the power characteristics of the Great Dao laws in the Star Sea to transform the “Blackhole” in their body into a “Xuan Sea”.
During this process, someone needed to nourish the characteristics of the formed power. In order to save this bit of effort, Taihong designed the 12 Heaven Gate realms and used the cultivators in this Star Sea to nourish the characteristics of this power.
The so-called “Blackhole” and “Xuan Sea” were the names of cultivation realms.
In the Great Yan Sacred Land, there were 24 realms of the Immortal and Mortal worlds and three realms of the True World.
Among them, the 24 realms of the Immortal and Mortal Realms were quite different from the 21 realms of the Immortal and Mortal Realms that Taihong had passed down in this Star Sea. The first 19 realms were the same, but the latter realms were very different.
In other words, after the Seventh Realm of the Immortal World, the Dao Body realm, it was no longer the same.
From the Eighth Realm of the Immortal World, the subsequent realms were termed Blessed Land, Grotto-Heaven, Techniques Refinement, Freedom, and Mystic Enlightenment. Together, there were 24 realms.
It was three major realms more than the system passed down by Taihong.
Actually, these three major realms were combined by Taihong and split into the 12 Heaven Gate realms and divided into three Heavenly Ladder stages. Each Heavenly Ladder realm could basically correspond to the original three major realms.
Mystic Enlightenment was the peak of the 24 realms of the Immortal and Mortal worlds. Above that were the three True World realms of “Shattering Mysticism and Pointing to the True Dao”.
They were: Shattering, Blackhole, Xuan Sea.
Legend had it that there was a higher realm above the Xuan Sea, the level of the Ancient Kings. That was a realm of unbelievably terrifying power, unfathomable mysticism, and the unknown.
It was said that the “Star Sea Torrent Fist” that Wang Daoyi had used earlier was obtained by the Ancestral Master of Tianqi Prefecture from the ruins left behind by the Ancient Kings.
If he could cultivate it to the peak of the Xuan Sea Realm, he might be able to experience some of that unbelievable power.
Therefore, this martial technique was also called a King’s Technique, a King’s ultimate technique.
However, according to Wang Daoyi, since ancient times, no one had been able to cultivate this ultimate technique to that realm.
The realm of the so-called Ancient Kings was only a legend.
Even the top existences in the Great Yan Holy Land knew very little about this.
Wang Daoyi also yearned for that legendary level.
At this point, he could not help but ask Cui Heng, “Exalted Immortal, have you already reached the realm of the Ancient Kings?”
“I’ve never seen the so-called Ancient Kings.” Cui Heng shook his head gently and smiled. “If I haven’t seen them, how can I be sure of their realm?”
Through the information he had just obtained and his understanding of Wang Daoyi’s strength, he could roughly estimate what level the three True World realms corresponded to.
The Shattering Realm was equivalent to having more Soul Formation characteristics, but it was still inferior to the true Early-stage Soul Formation realm.
And the Blackhole realm could reach the Early-stage Soul Formation realm in terms of strength.
However, from the strength displayed by Wang Daoyi, the Peak Blackhole realm was only slightly stronger than the initial Early-stage Soul Formation realm. It was still inferior to the Peak Early-stage Soul Formation realm.
Wang Daoyi already treated Cui Heng, who had yet to break through to the Mid-stage Soul Formation realm, as an expert in the Xuan Sea realm. From this, it could be deduced that the weakest cultivator in the Xuan Sea realm should be equivalent to the Peak Early-stage Soul Formation realm.
However, after Cui Heng broke through to the Mid-stage Soul Formation realm, in Wang Daoyi’s opinion, he was already an unbelievably powerful existence. He had far exceeded any Peak Xuan Sea realm expert he knew. He even guessed that he might be a so-called Ancient King.
From this, it could be seen that the so-called “Xuan Sea Realm” was probably equivalent to the Peak Early-stage Soul Formation realm, or slightly beyond the Early-stage Soul Formation realm, but it was far inferior to the Mid-stage Soul Formation realm.
It could not completely correspond to the Immortal cultivation realms.
Cui Heng was already used to this situation. The Divine Treasure Realm from the Mortal Realm was like this.
As for the level of the “Ancient Kings”, Cui Heng could not estimate it.
