Chapter 264: Chapter 122 Entering the Purple Moon Secret Region! Princess of Heavenly Sea Country_3
Translator: 549690339
The girl arrived here during your breakthrough process and had been watching you with considerable surprise. It was only after you had successfully achieved your breakthrough that you noticed her presence, triggering a sense of awe within you and a desire to leave.
She, however, stood directly in your way, preventing you from leaving. The speed at which she had moved stunned you, as you had not realized it at all. At the same time, you found yourself unable to discern her cultivation level.
The girl quickly introduced herself, revealing that she was Ling Xue, the Seventeenth Princess of Heavenly Sea Country, wishing to befriend you. You were surprised, not expecting to encounter the seventeenth princess of the Heavenly Sea Country here. After all, your memory attests to the dazzling performance she would undertake in the upcoming Hundred Dynasties War, which will make her a disciple of an elder from the Heavenly Sword Divine Land.
After some thought, you concluded that given her status, she had no reason to covet anything from you, and you chose to agree.
Ling Xue was very pleased with your acceptance. She inquired whether you were a loose cultivator and what your name was. You elected to answer her question, though you chose to give her a pseudonym, telling her your name was Bai Tianhong.
Ling Xue was profoundly surprised by your answer. Although she surmised that you were a loose cultivator, she didn’t expect that you really were. With this in mind, she expressed great admiration for you, finding it rare for a loose cultivator to be able to condense a 4th Tier Profound Elixir.
You give a helpless smile. The 4th tier was not what you desired. Ling Xue chuckled at your response, curiously asking if you aimed to condense a 3rd Tier Profound Pill. You decided to answer her.
Ling Xue, being a straightforward person, patted your shoulder, telling you not to daydream while it was still daylight. You were taken aback by the character of the seventeenth princess of the Heavenly Sea Country, and began to feel a certain fondness towards her.
Then, you asked Ling Xue about the grade of Profound Elixir she had condensed. Ling Xue did not hide anything and directly told you that she had condensed a 3rd Tier Profound Pill.
For a while, you felt extremely envious. Ling Xue consoled you, explaining that she was able to condense a 3rd Tier Profound Pill because she had once consumed a 9th tier Treasure Medicine. Otherwise, she might have only been able to condense a 4th Tier Profound Elixir.
You were very curious as to what kind of medicine could aid in the condensation of a 3rd-Tier Profound Pill. Ling Xue told you that it was a
Golden Spirit Fruit – a 9th-tier treasure medicine, capable of enhancing one’s Bone and Root Aptitude and reinforcing their base. At this point, Ling Xue expressed regret, saying that she had been careless in her consumption of it. If she had used it to refine a 9th Tier Elixir Golden Yuan Pill, the effects would have been even more potent.
You asked curiously, could it be possible to condense a 2nd Tier Profound
Elixir? Ling Xue looked at you with irritation, rhetorically asking if you think a
2nd Tier Profound Elixir was as common as a cabbage? She clarified that a
2nd Tier Profound Elixir can only be achieved by genuine prodigies. Anyone who manages to condense a 2nd Tier Profound Elixir, even if they were in Holy Land, could be expected to become a true disciple.
You were profoundly shocked by this reveal, as you hadn’t realized that there was such a huge significance behind a 3rd Tier Profound Elixir and a 2nd Tier Profound Elixir. You then curiously asked Ling Xue about the level that the True Disciples of Holy Land could achieve in the future if they did not perish prematurely.
After some contemplation, Ling Xue shared the answer with you. Different Holy Lands yield disciples with different potential. But if a quasi-true disciple of the Heavenly Sword Divine Land were to survive, they would most likely reach the Life and Death Realm in the future and have a high chance of stepping into the Nirvana Boundary.
As for the true disciples of the Heavenly Sword Divine Land, if they were to survive, they would surely reach the Nirvana Boundary in the future, and each of them would have the potential to become a King. However, potential alone doesn’t make a King: that was something only time could tell.
You were shocked to know that the King Realm was a level above the Nirvana Boundary.
Next, you asked Ling Xue, whether the ones who managed to condense a 1st-Tier Profound Elixir were on par with the Saint Sons, and if they would surely reach the King Realm in the future.
Ling Xue rolled her eyes, telling you that you were overthinking. The King
Realm was a significant threshold, and not even the children of the Holy Land could necessarily condense a 1st Tier Profound Elixir. Even if they did manage to condense a 1st-Tier Profound Elixir, they couldn’t necessarily guarantee a place in the King Realm. After all, the Profound Elixir Realm was merely a
level of attainment. The quality of one’s Profound Elixir was important, but couldn’t definitively gauge a prodigy’s potential.
Moreover, there were numerous Holy Lands in this world, birthing countless
Saint Sons. New Saint Sons emerged from the Holy Lands from time to time. But, in the grand scope of the Purple Spirit Realm, a King Realm Master might only appear once in a decade.
After a pause, Ling Xue continued, saying that those at the Nirvana Realm had a lifespan of five thousand years. You need to consider how many former geniuses and prodigies had been stuck at the Nirvana Realm Great Perfection or the quasi-King Tier. It might seem a short period, but the fact that many are stuck at the bottleneck, and a King Realm Master emerges only once every decade shows how difficult it is to attain.
You were awestruck, finally understanding just how formidable the King Realm was and how hard it was to make a breakthrough into it. A great longing surfaced in your heart for this unprecedented level of strength.
Subsequently, Ling Xue sighed, stating that the difference between Saint Sons and True Disciples lies in the fact that they had defeated their peers, the True Disciples, representing the face of their respective Holy Lands. However, this didn’t necessarily mean that the Saint Sons were much stronger than the True Disciples—the gap between them could be vast. Naturally, some Saint Sons were so monstrous that their peers could not catch up, and there were quite a few such examples.
Those truly prodigious Saint Sons who had not died prematurely were the ones who would eventually advance into the quasi-King Tier, with a high probability of stepping into the King Realm. They were the ones whom the major Holy Lands would spare no effort to cultivate.
After listening to Ling Xue’s words, you finally understood just how vast the world was and how naive your previous thoughts had been. Even those Saint Sons cultivated by the Holy Lands might not be able to condense a 1st-Tier Profound Elixir, and yet, you, a loose cultivator, without cultivation techniques, resources, or a master to guide you, were dreaming of condensing a 1st-Tier Profound Elixir, even a Flawless Profound Elixir. How laughably foolish that was..
