Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao

Chapter 1620 - 133: Frightening Cultivation Speed! (2)

"This, it is unnecessary. My words were just said in passing, merely to temper your sharpness."

"No, perhaps it means nothing to you, but since I promised, I will definitely do it well."

Zhuge Xiye is very stubborn; in this aspect, Zhou Yan seemed to see the same stubbornness that Zhuge Jiayue once had.

For a brief moment, Zhou Yan had an inexplicable feeling as if he suddenly returned to the past.

It was as if a scene from the past and a scene from the present overlaid and coincided in an instant.

Originally, this was just a very ordinary scenario, but Zhou Yan’s mindset had changed, and so did the way he viewed things.

At that moment, Zhou Yan even thought for an instant whether in every era, there would be more or less scenarios forming a complete overlap?

In the eras of the past, there was Zhuge Jiayue; in the current era, there is Zhuge Xiye.

In many ways, the two are actually somewhat similar.

...

Zhou Yan did not deliberately refuse Zhuge Xiye’s stubbornness, he merely nodded and said: "If you are willing, that is fine."

"However, for now, teach me cultivation."

"Of course."

Zhuge Xiye smiled faintly and said.

When it came to the matter of cultivation, Zhuge Xiye immediately became energetic, displaying a clear and spirited demeanor.

The confidence and cool demeanor were instantly revealed.

At this moment, Zhuge Xiye was undoubtedly very beautiful.

Although Zhou Yan’s standards were now very high, he still found Zhuge Xiye quite beautiful, which was enough to show that Zhuge Xiye was indeed very attractive.

However, Zhou Yan was not moved, but seriously awaited Zhuge Xiye’s teachings.

"In our Holy Spirit Era, the world of the Holy Spirit Continent, there are very stringent rules for realm divisions."

"From the basic Qi Condensation Realm, to Condensing Yuan Realm, Condensing Core Realm, Broken Core Realm, Soul Condensation Realm, Void Soul Realm, and later the Soul Spring Realm Soul Sea Realm and Heavenly Tribulation Realm, in these realms, each is divided into nine layers.

Generally, a cultivator deemed a ’Saint Heir’ should have at least reached the third layer of the Soul Condensation Realm.

But you are, of course, an exception. However, you have already defeated Zhang Yuyang and Xia Houchen of the third layer of the Soul Condensation Realm, so there is no dispute."

"The Heavenly Tribulation Realm is an extremely difficult realm, and it is currently unknown if any cultivator has reached it. Generally, the sect masters of the Holy Land are roughly in the Soul Spring Realm, but how exactly, I do not know. But the Sect Master of our Heavenly Mechanism Sect is actually only at the eighth layer of the Soul Spring Realm. Those sect masters from the Holy Land, I fear, have not yet reached the Soul Sea Realm."

"As for my own realm, now, it has reached the early stage of the seventh layer of the Soul Condensation Realm."

"So speaking of realm division, how does one begin entry into a realm itself?"

"This, actually, is related to the soul."

"Because in our world, the rules emphasize soul cultivation, the physical body is considered the shell of the soul, the physical body is a Bitter Sea, and Bitter Sea is boundless. The soul is the other shore, to transcend, one must strengthen the soul."

"The Qi Condensation Realm is actually condensing the soul’s Soul Energy, gathering the soul’s Soul Energy to form something that seems tangible surrounding the body, that is the entry to the Qi Condensation Realm."

"After the Qi Condensation Realm comes the Condensing Yuan Realm, which transforms the intangible soul’s Soul Energy into tangible energy origin. It becomes Soul Essence Power."

"In the Condensing Core Realm, after the soul has gathered Soul Essence, it turns Soul Essence into a Soul Pill."

"The Broken Core Realm is the process of breaking to establish, the Condensing Core is like the soul cocooning, and breaking the core is the process of breaking the cocoon to become a butterfly."

"This is a transformation process on the realm level representing a deep soul transformation."

"With this process, the soul can truly stabilize and grow, then once again the Soul Condensation Realm, is actually the repetition of this series of processes. But it’s not entirely repetitive."

"Because the Soul Condensation Realm is truly condensing the soul, truly controlling the soul, no longer just the simple condensing of the soul. After condensing the soul, it can appear outside the body, transforming into a Void Soul. This is the Void Soul Realm."

"After the Void Soul appears, the soul can transform into a Soul Spring, forming endless soul origin, able to restore other’s Soul Loss wounds, etc., essentially, the soul becomes independent, possessing healing abilities."

"The Soul Sea Realm is when the Soul Spring expands, forming a soul ocean. The ocean is the origin of life, naturally, the soul forms an ocean capable of breeding more terrifying soul life forms."

"But this process defies the heavens, so it must endure a Heavenly Tribulation."

"After overcoming nine layers of Heavenly Tribulation, those who survive will form an Original Life Soul, equivalent to having an Undying Divine Soul!"

"Thus, possessing a Life Soul is equivalent to immortality."

"After the Life Soul...there is the so-called ’Holy Domain’, which realm that is, is unknown."

...

Zhuge Xiye narrated bit by bit, explaining each realm and its corresponding rules to Zhou Yan.

After Zhou Yan listened, he immediately knew this was a complete world of rules for cultivating the soul.

And with such growth, after forming the Life Soul in the Soul Sea, that realm almost equates to the terrifying realms of the Sword Saint and Sword Venerate of the past.

Because one constant is the appearance of the Soul Sea.

The appearance of the Soul Sea, which breeds life, marks the process of stepping into immortality!

But obviously, due to changes in the rules, this process was altered, and life forms may not step into the immortal path, instead being guided towards an unknown path of cultivation.

So what is the endpoint of this cultivation path?

Zhou Yan did not know for now, but he knew that if he followed this path of cultivation, he would definitely find out in time.

Zhou Yan listened quietly to Zhuge Xiye’s explanation, then compared it with past cultivation methods, gaining a clear understanding of this cultivation.

With understanding, there is a clear direction for cultivation, without confusion.

Moreover, Zhou Yan had top-level experiences from the past, so with an introductory method, his cultivation would not be difficult.

After all, his level had even reached the Soul Condensation Realm, with a soul strength at its peak, so this cultivation should be quite easy.

While Zhou Yan thought about this, Zhuge Xiye had already started the real impartation of beginner knowledge and method inheritance.

Zhou Yan listened earnestly while corresponding with cultivation.

"The Qi Condensation Realm focuses on sensing the soul, meditating on a stream of Qi surrounding the body, then allowing your body to devour this ’Qi’."

"This Qi forms a flow trajectory within the body, not in the flesh but in the soul."

"Initially, you will not sense this Qi, but by continuing to meditate this way, the Qi will soon appear. That time, the soul will become heated, and you will clearly feel a fiery Qi flowing within the soul."

As Zhuge Xiye spoke, she saw Zhou Yan’s body begin to emit a faint red glow.

Apparently, as soon as Zhuge Xiye finished speaking, Zhou Yan had already entered the stage.

She was stunned for a moment, and her expression flickered slightly, obviously shocked by Zhou Yan’s terrifying cultivation talent.

Although she had already overestimated Zhou Yan, now it seemed she still underestimated him too much.

Because Zhuge Xiye initially thought Zhou Yan would take at least several days to start, but she didn’t expect, as soon as she finished, Zhou Yan already caught up with her explained cultivation progress, already entered!

This was simply too monstrous and inconceivable!

Zhuge Xiye froze for a moment, then continued to explain the state changes of the Condensing Yuan Realm and its cultivation steps.

But as she explained, Zhou Yan’s realm ascended along with her explanation continuously.

This speed was utterly terrifying.

This time, Zhuge Xiye was completely moved.

She stared at Zhou Yan, almost at a loss for words!
