Ling Xiaozui's expression was solemn as he said in a low voice, "Perhaps it's easier for the both of you to understand because you already possess a cultivation base that surpasses the ninth level of Dao realm. Of course, you would understand that there's a higher level. However, many cultivators in Tianxuan Continent were troubled by this bottleneck for countless years back then. They knew that there was a path ahead, but they had no clue where to start!"
Yun Yang's expression was one of understanding, but he was also a little perplexed. After a pause, he asked, "May I ask senior, what is the reason behind this?"
Ling Xiaozui chuckled humorlessly. "The bottleneck after the ninth level of Dao realm is very different from the bottleneck of the peak realm and heaven realm. When one reaches the limit of the ninth level of Dao realm … the dantian in one's body can no longer contain mystical Qi. The more one absorbs, the more one loses. Based on this premise, there's naturally no way forward. "
"Until there was a senior … who had reached the peak of his cultivation base. He tried everything he could, but he couldn't make any progress. Feeling depressed, his enemies found out about his whereabouts. They even gathered a dozen experts of the same level to ambush him."
"It was an unintentional battle. The senior was first poisoned, then he was ambushed and severely injured. Then, he was hunted all the way. Exhausted, he couldn't continue and his life was about to come to an end. Helpless, he was forced to perform the Art of Soul Disintegration, wanting to perish together with the enemy! However, not only was he lacking in strength, he had suffered too many injuries. His physical body was already riddled with holes, to the point that he couldn't complete the self-detonation. "
"However, it was at such a critical juncture … that he felt that the mystical Qi of heaven and earth drawn into his body by the Art of Soul Disintegration did not leak out. Instead, it charged madly and irregularly within his body. Then, he realized that two new chakras had been awakened from the original nine chakras in his body!"
"With the awakening of these two chakras, his ability improved tremendously and his condition recovered. He managed to turn the tables and defeat a dozen experts of the same level, forcing them to flee!"
"Since then, it was then spread among the higher-ups that there are more than just nine chakras in a human body! There are hidden chakras … there are many of them. "
Ling Xiaozui sighed.
"After that, this trial was called the God's Shackles by our descendants!"
Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi murmured at the same time, "God's Shackles …"
"Yes, it's the Empyrean Shackles. If you don't reach this level that's close to the Demigod Realm, it's impossible to touch this special layer of restriction." Ling Xiaozui sighed softly. "Since the beginning of time, how many tens of thousands of years have passed? Countless geniuses have stopped before this stage!"
"On the path of cultivation, the most important thing is talent. However, this first challenge has eliminated more than ninety percent of the people in this world. Another ninety percent of the people in this world will be eliminated in the first challenge. Another ninety percent will be eliminated in the next challenge. Another ninety percent will be eliminated in the next challenge. Another ninety percent will be eliminated in the next challenge of the Dao Realm. Another ninety percent will be eliminated in the Dao Realm! So, the probability of a xiuzhe that can advance to natural shackles is not one in ten thousand, but not one in a million! "
"Yes, it's that harsh!"
"So far, this is Tianxuan Continent's overall level classification." Ling Xiaozui said, "Dugu and I were exceptionally lucky. Dugu was infatuated with love when he entered the martial path and walked the path of passion. Infatuated with love, he was infatuated with martial arts. Because of this, he broke through the limit of chakras by chance. I don't know how many chakras he broke through, but it was because of this that he entered a brand new cultivation path."
"As for me, I entered the path of swordsmanship completely. In order to break through this challenge …" Ling Xiaozui looked as if he could not bear to recall the past as he shook his head with a bitter smile. "Each time I tried to break through, I always pierced a chakra in my body with my sword …"
"In total, I tried fifteen times. Then, with the help of the gentle water and the power of the divine fish, I really broke through the barrier of God's Shackles …"
"My constant search for the divine fish was actually to consolidate my realm … Yes, the Seven-Scaled Fairy." Ling Xiaozui looked at Yun Yang with a smile. "It's also because of this that I often come to Tiantang City and get to know Younger Sister Yun. It was also because of this that I met you, young brother."
Yun Yang nodded and smiled faintly.
Recalling the time when he met Ling Xiaozui while fishing, a long time had passed. He had grown from a small shrimp to where he was now. For a moment, it felt like a dream.
Ji Lingxi asked from the side, "This is still different from my situation. When I cultivate, there won't be a situation where I can't absorb mystical Qi or have mystical Qi leak out. My cultivation base and capability have been increasing steadily. I only want to know now, what's the so-called path ahead?"
Ling Xiaozui said, "Don't be hasty, don't be hasty. We're about to get to the main topic … Regarding the next step in cultivation, I've explored many times. I've even sneaked into the Bound of Universe to ask around … Although the process was fraught with danger, I've gained something in the end. Sigh, I have to say that the Bound of Universe's information has a longer history than that of Tianxuan Continent …"
"After a few twists and turns, I've managed to find some reliable information. It's only then that I've uncovered the mystery of Tianxuan Continent's cultivation."
Ji Lingxi and Yun Yang could not help but perk up their ears.
Both of them realized that what Ling Xiaozui was about to reveal might be the greatest secret in this world!
"It's said that Tianxuan Continent didn't have this name many thousands of years ago. Back then, it was actually called Xuanxuan Continent!"
"Xuanxuan Continent? What kind of name is that? "Yun Yang smacked his lips and chuckled." It's not as good as Tianxuan Continent. "
Ling Xiaozui said, "What's the use of having a nice name? Xuanxuan Continent produced many masters who could dominate the world back then. That was glory, that was splendor …"
"Legend has it that there was a young man who was born as a debauchee like you. En, he was different from you. He was a real debauchee in the beginning, the kind that couldn't be saved. But the moment he woke up to reality, he worked hard and improved by leaps and bounds. His cultivation rose in a straight line, like a hot knife cutting through butter. Success came naturally when the conditions were right … In the end, he even became the ruler of the Xuan Xuan Continent. And he completed all of this in less than twenty years. The speed of his improvement was not only unprecedented, but also unprecedented!"
"Twenty years!"
Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. "To transcend the mortal realm and become the ruler of a world in less than twenty years … Is this really possible?"
It sounded like a myth, a fantasy, a ridiculous legend that had been passed down!
