Leaving his physical body, Zhang Xuan swiftly gathered the pinnacle spirit stone and spiritual energy harnessing treasures that Heung Kensei had given him. Focusing his attention, he began driving his Heaven's Path Divine Art.
Geji! Geji!
His soul was growing stronger at a visible rate.
With his Soul Depth reaching Nine Stars pinnacle, he was able to focus more fully on his cultivation, and the rate at which his soul was advancing at a faster rate. Previously, he would have required two hours to raise his cultivation by a stage, but now, he only needed an hour to do so.
Some time later, Zhang Xuan abruptly opened his eyes. The space before him seemed to have been torn apart, and a deafening rumble echoed.
With just a light flick of his soul, a pitch-black tear would appear in a radius of ten meters around him. Even the space around him was unable to withstand the immense force.
It's a pity that I haven't perfected Soul Traverse yet.
Zhang Xuan sighed in pity.
Lu Chong had imparted the heritage he had obtained from the Zhang Clan Ancestor's Land to him, and naturally, Soul Traverse was one of them. However, it was a pity that it had too many flaws, and his cultivation was still lacking at the moment.
Otherwise, if he were able to traverse through space like his disciple, his fighting prowess would surely be raised to a whole new level.
Of course, he would only use his soul when he had no other choice. The Master Teacher Continent still held great respect for soul oracles.
To be honest, if not for Yang shi appearing at the very last moment and addressing him as' Senior ', putting aside Mingshi Tang's compensation, the Poison Temple and soul oracles would have been in deep trouble as well.
Hu!
Zhang Xuan's soul returned to his physical body.
Standing up, Zhang Xuan moved his body slightly, and he immediately felt the strength coursing through his body. It was many times stronger than before.
Zhang Xuan flicked his finger lightly.
Si la!
A huge tear appeared in the space of the courtyard, and everything that fell into it was destroyed.
While my strength is still lacking compared to the Pavilion Master Token, I should still be able to match up to ordinary Saint 9-dan cultivators. In fact, I should even be able to put up a fight against the First Elder of the Glacier Plain Court, You Ruoxin!
Zhang Xuan chuckled in satisfaction.
His zhenqi cultivation and soul cultivation had improved significantly, such that even a Half-Great Sage cultivator might not be a match for him. If he were to think about it, he would already be standing at the top of the world.
"It's about time to strengthen the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast and Inferno Qilin …"
In order to protect him, the two saint beasts had sacrificed a lot, especially the latter. It had been severely injured when it was captured by Zhang Wuheng, and if not for the fact that his identity had changed to that of the young prodigy of the Zhang clan, there was a good chance that he would have been killed.
With the Great Elder imprisoned, the Sacred Beast naturally returned to him.
He released them and gave each of them a few Level 9 Pills.
After consuming the pill, the Inferno Qilin swiftly made a full recovery from its injuries. Even though it did not manage to achieve a breakthrough in its cultivation, it had grown significantly stronger than before. From the looks of it, it was on the verge of breaking through the bottleneck of Saint 9-dan at any moment.
As for the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast, with the help of the grade-9 pill and Zhang Xuan, it managed to raise its cultivation from Saint 9-dan primary stage to Saint 9-dan pinnacle within a single night.
It wasn't much weaker than the Qilin Beast.
By the time he was done, the sky was already bright. Just as he pushed open the door and walked out of the room, he saw his father, Heung Kensei, already in the courtyard.
"It's time to pay respects to the ancestors. Let's head over!"
Heung Kensei called out. Only then did he realize that his son's cultivation seemed to have undergone a transformation from the previous day, and his eyes lit up in excitement. "Your cultivation …"
His son had only been at Dimension Sundering realm primary stage the previous day, but in a single night, he had already reached Dimension Sundering realm pinnacle. Not even a Saint 9-dan expert would be a match for him.
"I managed to make a breakthrough by sheer luck," Zhang Xuan replied with a smile.
"Luck?" Heung Kensei's lips twitched.
In the battle the previous day, the other party's strength had been even greater than his. He had thought that it was due to the other party's true strength, but after a brief encounter, he realized that the other party had used some kind of secret art. He had been worried that the other party's cultivation would fall after using the secret art, but from the looks of it now, it seemed like he had been worrying too much.
Not only did his cultivation not fall, it even seemed to have improved significantly!
He really had no idea how the other party had managed to cultivate to such a level.
"Give me a punch, and I'll see just how powerful you are without using any secret art!"
Sword Saint Xing remarked as he turned his gaze back to Zhang Xuan.
"Alright!"
Knowing that even without using the Pavilion Master Token, his father's fighting prowess far surpassed his, Zhang Xuan did not hesitate at all. Taking a deep breath, he launched a powerful punch.
Hong long!
The air before him exploded, and a powerful shockwave burst forth. Heung Kensei's eyebrows shot up as he gathered his strength in his palm.
Hu!
His strength dissipated, and he subconsciously took a step back in astonishment.
"That strength is on par with Introspective Convalescence realm experts …" Heung Kensei remarked in awe.
"Introspective Convalescence realm?"
Zhang Xuan looked at Zhang Xuan doubtfully.
"At your level of cultivation, you should know that Saint 9-dan isn't the end of one's cultivation. There's still Great Sage beyond that," Heung Kensei explained.
"Un." Zhang Xuan nodded.
He had heard this matter from Yang shi, but it wasn't very detailed.
"There are nine dans for Fighter 9-dan, Transcendent Mortal 9-dan, and Saint realm, but there are only four dans for Great Sage!"
Heung Kensei said. "The first dan is the Introspective Convalescence realm!"
"Upon reaching Saint realm, a cultivator will grow stronger, but both their Primordial Spirit and physical body will reach their limits, and it's very easy for them to separate. Introspective Convalescence realm refers to the state of one's Primordial Spirit and physical body, which are about to be separated, and the cultivator will be able to repair their separated Primordial Spirit and physical body to become more compatible with nature. Upon reaching this realm, one's lifespan will increase by another five hundred years, reaching 1,500 years. "
Ordinary Saint realm experts only had a lifespan of a thousand years. Even if some of the more formidable experts were fortunate enough to live longer, their lifespan wouldn't exceed that by too much. However, upon reaching Great Sage, the Introspective Convalescence realm would alleviate the aging process within one's body, allowing one's lifespan to exceed 1,500 years.
Five hundred years was not to be underestimated. The world had changed, and countless experts had been born.
"The 'Introspective Convalescence' realm is connected to an even deeper level of cultivation, and is different from ordinary Saints. Ordinary Saint realm cultivators are divided into four subrealms — primary, intermediate, advanced, and pinnacle. On the other hand, the four major realms of Great Sage are divided into six subrealms!
"They are primary, intermediate, advanced, pinnacle, consummation, and consummation!
"Each of these six subrealms is more difficult than the previous one. Some cultivators would require more than a hundred years just to advance a single realm … Due to this, the amount of spiritual energy they require is tremendous. This is also the reason why it's so difficult to advance beyond Saint 9-dan!
"The punch you executed earlier is almost at the level of Introspective Convalescence realm primary stage. Even though it isn't too powerful, it's already more than enough for you to roam the world unrivaled among the younger generation!"
Zhang Xuan nodded. Curious, he asked, "If Introspective Convalescence realm is the first realm of Great Sage, what about the second realm?"
"The second realm is the Aureate Body realm!"
Heung Kensei said. "Introspective Convalescence realm, one who is aware of the gods. The Aureate Body is untainted, and divinity exists for eternity. At this realm, earth fire and frigid water are no longer able to harm one, and even ordinary injuries can be easily healed without the need for pills. Your student, Yuan Tao, was able to reach this realm after awakening his Emperor's Bloodline! "
