At the Sand Spring Realm, one's Qi was like a spring that gushed out from the depths of the Qi Sea. However, the spring water was filled with sand-like impurities that could not be eliminated or removed, greatly affecting the purity of one's Martial Qi.
At the Ice River Realm, although one's Qi was strong, the amount of impurities in the water increased as well. They gathered together and formed a huge ice block, affecting one's Martial Qi even more.
At the Wu River Realm, the impurities in the water completely merged with one's Martial Qi and dyed the river black. Even if there was a way to remove them, it would be extremely difficult.
As everyone knew, the purer the Martial Qi in a cultivator's body, the more powerful it was. The more impurities there were, the less powerful it would be.
Not to mention that after reaching the Third Heaven Realm, the Martial Qi would be condensed into Martial Qi. If there were too many impurities, the Martial Qi formed after condensing would be extremely impure, which would be detrimental to future cultivation.
If possible, Lin Buzheng naturally wanted to remove all the impurities.
"How is it possible to remove the impurities?"
"Do you know what the impurities in Martial Qi are?"
However, when the ancestor of the tree spirit heard Lin Buzheng's words, he immediately shook his head with a disapproving expression.
As it turned out, the impurities were none other than the various energies in Lin Buzheng's body that circulated and flowed along with the Martial Qi before gathering in the Qi Sea.
These impurities included the Qi of bones, blood, and organs. Strictly speaking, they were not impurities, but they had not been completely converted into Martial Qi and could not be used by Lin Buzheng directly.
These impurities blended with the pure Martial Qi, and as time passed, they would gradually be converted into the latter.
However, at the same time, the Martial Qi in the Qi Sea would gradually be converted into the Qi of bones and blood.
Other than that, the Martial Qi would constantly circulate in the meridians and cleanse the orifices in the limbs, continuously bringing the impurities back into the Qi Sea.
The Martial Qi and the impurities were like the Yin and Yang fish swimming in the Tai Chi Diagram. There was me in you, and you in me. It was impossible to simply remove the impurities.
Besides that, Lin Buzheng cultivated Martial Qi, thus the other auras were considered impurities to him.
However, if there were warriors who cultivated Blood Qi, such as the Yue Clan's disciples, then their Qi Sea would be filled with Blood Qi. Martial Qi would instead become impurities.
Martial Path True Qi, Blood Qi, Bone Qi, and other Spiritual Qi were like the five elements that formed the human body, and could not be destroyed.
In a sense, it was precisely because these impurities had fused with the Martial Path True Qi that a martial artist's Qi Sea would stabilize and not collapse due to being filled with a single force.
However, it was undeniable that the existence of these impurities greatly limited the limits of a martial artist's Martial Dao.
There were many martial artists who had enough talent and could have stepped into the Ice River or Black River realms, but because there were too many impurities in their Martial True Qi, they could only advance hurriedly, leaving behind a lifelong regret.
"I can see that the Martial Path True Qi in your body is very pure, with very few impurities."
"As long as you cultivate diligently and slightly suppress the impurities in your Qi Sea, there is a high chance that you will advance to the Ice River realm. As for the Black River realm, it will depend on your luck."
The ancestor of the tree spirit advised Lin Buzheng with a kind tone. It was obvious that he was very optimistic about Lin Buzheng's chances of advancing to the Ice River realm.
In the next moment, Lin Buzheng suddenly thought of a question, "Senior, may I ask if there is a higher realm above the Black River realm?"
"A higher realm?"
The ancestor of the tree spirit was slightly surprised to hear Lin Buzheng's question, but he immediately nodded affirmatively, "Of course there is! This realm is called the Eight Harmonies Realm! "
"Eight Harmonies Realm?"
Lin Buzheng was a little surprised to hear that.
He did not expect that his casual question would get an affirmative answer from the ancestor of the tree spirit.
"Yes!"
"The Eight Harmonies Realm is the fourth realm after the Black River realm. As the name suggests, when a martial artist advances to this realm, the Black River phenomenon in the Qi Sea will evolve into the Eight Harmonies Ocean, covering the entire Qi Sea.
"The Eight Harmonies Realm is vast, spanning hundreds of millions of miles. The roar of the tides will cover the sky, and the thousands of blades will sweep across the sky. The Qi is boundless, and the Martial Path is boundless!
"Since ancient times, the number of martial artists who have been able to enter this realm can be counted on one's fingers. However, all of these martial artists have a common title, and that is … Great Emperor!"
As the ancestor of the tree spirit spoke, his eyes lit up with excitement. This was the admiration a martial artist had for a peerless expert, and also the desire a martial artist had for a peerless Martial Path realm!
As the ancestor of the tree spirit said, the realm above the Black River was called the Eight Harmonies Realm.
The phenomenon in the Qi Sea of martial artists in this realm was boundless, and the Martial Path True Qi was also boundless. Not only were they the best in their current realm, but they were also far stronger than martial artists of the same generation, even suppressing an era!
Since ancient times, almost all Emperors would advance to the Eight Harmonies Realm when they reached the Nine Layers of Qi Path, expanding the Qi Sea to its limit. At this realm, they would be showing the potential of a Emperor.
Therefore, the Eight Harmonies Realm was also known as the Emperor Realm.
However, if a martial artist wanted to advance to the Eight Harmonies Realm, it was a million times more difficult than advancing to the Black River realm. In fact, it was a million times more difficult than advancing to the Sand Spring, Ice River, and Black River realms combined.
When a martial artist was in the Black River realm, the impurities in the Qi Sea would reach their limit, even dyeing the river formed by the Martial Path True Qi black.
Under such circumstances, a martial artist could not purify the impurities and advance to the Eight Harmonies Realm.
According to ancient legends, if a martial artist wanted to advance to the Eight Harmonies Realm, other than having great talent and great fortune, they also had to endure great trials and pain. It was extremely difficult, and unless one was truly blessed by the heavens, it was impossible to succeed.
"Eight Harmonies Realm … Can I advance to the Eight Harmonies Realm?"
Hearing this, Lin Buzheng silently opened his eyes wide, his eyes filled with endless expectations.
At that moment, it was as if he could see a magnificent and vast Martial Path unfolding before him like a painting.
"The Eight Harmonies Realm is vast, spanning billions of miles."
"The roar of the tide covers the sky, and thousands of blades sweep across the sky. The Qi is boundless, and the Martial Path is boundless."
"A legend, a legend …"
The ancestor of the Tree Spirit did not answer Lin Buzheng's question. Instead, it let out a sigh. Its voice was filled with the sorrow of the passing of time, as if it was reminiscing about the past.
Whoosh!
Then, the spots of green light that made up the ancestor of the Tree Spirit quickly disintegrated and disappeared.
In the middle of the hall, the divine willow that was rooted in the air waved its hundreds of millions of willow branches, releasing endless white light that was so blinding that Lin Buzheng could not open his eyes.
Buzz!
A few breaths later, the light faded.
In the middle of the hall, the ten-zhang-tall willow tree disappeared.
In its place was a ten-zhang-tall totem of a willow tree on the wall of the hall.
