The autumn air was crisp and clear, with no clouds for thousands of miles.
It was a good time to travel.
"Junior Brother, make a name for yourself in the capital." Guan Yunxi smiled and raised his cup to see Chen Zong off.
"I will." Chen Zong smiled and drank the wine in one gulp.
Men and women of Jianghu were reluctant to part, but all affection was expressed in a cup of wine.
Yan Wei followed Chen Zong out of the Mountain Overlook Courtyard with his eyes.
Marquis Linshan had left once and couldn't leave again. He had to stay and guard the Mountain Overlook Commandery. The distance between the capital and Mountain Overlook Commandery was long, and there might be some dangers along the way. Perhaps Chen Zong could deal with some of the dangers with his own ability, but some could not be resisted without the strength of the Genuine Martial Realm.
In fact, Marquis Linshan could send a team of bodyguards to escort him, but it would be too ostentatious and easy to be discovered. Moreover, after entering the capital, someone needed to be in charge.
Moreover, Chen Zong was not familiar with the roads, so Yan Wei's personal escort was the best choice.
Only Marquis Linshan, Yan Wei, Chen Zong, and Guan Yunxi knew about this trip. No one else knew.
They left the Mountain Overlook Courtyard and headed east.
Yan Wei was carrying a bag with some dry rations inside. Chen Zong was also carrying a bag with some dry rations inside.
Night fell and the sky was full of stars.
Halfway up the mountain, a bonfire burned. The dry wood crackled under the fire, and sparks drifted away. The light of the fire shone on the faces of the two, as if they were divine.
One of them was Chen Zong, and the other was Yan Wei.
Yan Wei's cultivation was at the peak of Lv 9 Genuine Martial Realm, but his strength was far superior to ordinary Lv 9 Genuine Martial Realm experts. He was the number one expert under Marquis Linshan and also the commander of his bodyguards.
"Uncle Wei, tell me about the Genuine Martial Realm," Chen Zong said.
They had been on the road and didn't speak. Now that they were resting and cultivating, they had time to chat.
Chen Zong was very curious about the Genuine Martial Realm, but he didn't know much about it.
"Alright, then let's talk about the True Martial Realm." Yan Wei smiled and said, "The True Martial Realm and the Training Realm belong to two major realms. The difference is very obvious."
"The Training Realm focuses on cultivating inner strength. Inner strength comes from the bones and muscles, and from the physique. The True Martial Realm focuses on cultivating true power. True power is more advanced than inner strength. It is a powerful force that is produced by combining essence, energy, and spirit."
"In order to reach the True Martial Realm, one must first refine a strand of True Power, which is called the Primordial True Power. With the Primordial True Power as a guide, one's Inner Strength and spirit will transform into True Power."
"Uncle Wei, how difficult is it to refine True Power compared to refining Inner Energy?"
"At least ten times," Yan Wei said seriously, which surprised Chen Zong. Ten times was indeed amazing.
"It is said that a long time ago, breaking through to the True Martial Realm was extremely difficult, because to refine the True Primordial Qi, one could only rely on grinding, relying on repeated attempts." Yan Wei said, "However, an ancestor created the True Condensation Technique, which reduced the difficulty of breaking through to the True Martial Realm by half."
"True Condensation Technique..." Chen Zong was slightly surprised. In the Eastern Land, he had never heard of such a technique. Otherwise, there would be more True Martial Realm warriors in the Eastern Land.
Thinking about it, other than the three geniuses of the True Martial Alliance, all the True Martial Realm warriors in the Eastern Land were not young. They were at least over thirty years old.
In the Eastern Land, to be able to break through to the True Martial Realm before the age of forty was considered to be very talented. However, in the Cloud Dragon Dynasty, there were many warriors who reached the True Martial Realm before the age of thirty.
For example, the Hidden Dragon List in the dynasty corresponded to the True Martial Realm warriors under the age of thirty, while the Rising Dragon List corresponded to the famous True Martial Realm warriors in the dynasty.
Thinking about it this way, Chen Zong suddenly felt that the three geniuses of the True Martial Alliance in the Eastern Land were indeed worthy of their name. They were very talented. If they came to the Cloud Dragon Dynasty, it would be easy for them to enter the Hidden Dragon List.
Chen Zong would never belittle himself, nor would he look down on others because he thought he was better than others. However, he was still surprised by the talents of the three geniuses.
"Uncle Wei, is it better to refine True Power as early as possible?" Chen Zong asked.
"No." Yan Wei shook his head. "I heard that the realm of a warrior is divided into the Transcendent Realm and the Transcendent Realm. The Qi and Blood Realm, Energy Refining Realm, and True Martial Realm are all below the Transcendent Realm. They are all realms that lay the foundation."
"The Qi and Energy Refining Realm are the foundation of a warrior. The True Martial Realm is an extension of the foundation. It is the realm where one can truly develop one's potential."
"Only by laying a good foundation, casting it to the limit, and then developing one's own potential is the best."
Chen Zong said thoughtfully.
The foundation, no matter which realm or aspect it was, was very important.
To build a house, one must first lay a good foundation. The foundation was the foundation. Only with a good foundation and a stable foundation could the house be built higher.
"However, some warriors are in a hurry to seek a breakthrough before their foundation has reached the limit. They don't know that this approach is cutting off their own future." Yan Wei said seriously, "It is said that every Transcendent Realm cultivator casts their foundation to the limit when they are in the foundation realm. They would rather stay in the foundation realm for a long time in order to break the limit of their own foundation."
"The limit of the foundation is very important to the development of one's own potential. This is also why some warriors find it difficult to make progress after entering the True Martial Realm, while others can make rapid progress after entering the True Martial Realm."
Chen Zong nodded and remembered it.
"Uncle Wei, since the True Martial Realm is a realm that develops one's own potential, then is the Transcendent Realm a realm that surpasses one's own strength?" Chen Zong suddenly thought.
"I remember the Marquis once said that the reason why the Transcendent Realm is called the Transcendent Realm is because the masters of this realm have mastered extraordinary power." Yan Wei's face was full of fanaticism and yearning, "It is said that it is a kind of extraordinary power. It is very magical."
"Transcendent power …" Chen Zong was speechless, but these four words left an indelible mark in his heart, like a brand.
Chen Zong had never asked the Marquis of Linshan about this information. It wasn't that he didn't want to ask, but every time he visited the Marquis of Linshan, he would have other questions about his own cultivation. Therefore, he placed them at the top of his priority list. After he finished asking, he would rush back to comprehend them, so he neglected these questions.
"Let's not talk about the Transcendent Realm. It is too far away from us. Perhaps I will never be able to break through in my lifetime." Yan Wei smiled, "Let me tell you more about the True Martial Realm."
"The True Martial Realm is divided into nine layers. The way to distinguish them is through True Meridians. True Meridians are hidden in the human body and cannot be detected unless one is in the True Martial Realm." Yan Wei continued, "Opening True Meridians is the way to develop one's own potential."
"A True Meridian represents one layer of cultivation. After opening nine True Meridians, one's cultivation has reached the ninth layer of the True Martial Realm."
"Uncle Wei, there is a saying of Great Perfection in the Blood Force Realm and Great Perfection in the Strength Refining Realm. Is there a saying of Great Perfection in the True Martial Realm?" Chen Zong asked again.
"It is said that there are a total of ten True Meridians in the human body, but under normal circumstances, only nine can be opened. As for the tenth, no one knows where it is hidden." Yan Wei smiled, "As long as you find and open the tenth True Meridian, you can reach the Great Perfection of the True Martial Realm."
"As far as I know, in the past thousand years, there has only been one person who has reached the Great Perfection in the Blood Force Realm, Strength Refining Realm, and True Martial Realm." Yan Wei's eyes flashed as he looked at Chen Zong, as if he wanted to pierce through Chen Zong, "That person is the Martial King of Heaven."
Chen Zong was surprised.
Chen Zong did not know how difficult it was to reach the Great Perfection of the Strength Refining Realm and the Great Perfection of the True Martial Realm, but Chen Zong knew that it was very difficult to reach the Great Perfection of the Blood Force Realm. If it were not for a coincidence, he might not have the chance to reach it. The benefits of reaching the Great Perfection of the True Martial Realm were also great.
"Uncle Wei, is the Martial King of Heaven a member of the royal family?" Chen Zong was quite interested in the Martial King of Heaven after obtaining the Chaotic Yuan Breaking Energy and the Dragon Power Bracelet.
"No." Yan Wei shook his head. "Martial King of Heaven has a mysterious origin, and no one knows where he came from. However, as soon as he appeared, he challenged all the Transcendents of the entire dynasty. It is said that even the strongest man of the royal family was not his opponent. It is said that he was defeated in less than ten moves."
Chen Zong's face was full of shock.
When he heard the three disciples of the Silver Saber Castle talk about it before, he only felt that it was vague and did not have a clear idea. Now that Yan Wei mentioned it, it was more intuitive.
There were many martial artists in the Cloud Dragon Dynasty, including countless True Martial Realm and a considerable number of Transcendents. The strongest Transcendents were naturally extraordinary, but he could not even withstand ten moves from the Martial King of Heaven. It was hard to imagine.
Such a strong man, what kind of style was that?
Chen Zong could not help but yearn for it.
Suddenly, Chen Zong thought further.
The Cloud Dragon Dynasty alone was many times larger and more powerful than the Eastern Continent. However, the Martial King of Heaven came from outside the Cloud Dragon Dynasty. In other words, there were other powerful existences outside the Cloud Dragon Dynasty.
This was the real world of martial arts.
His mood was agitated, his blood was boiling, and a powerful aura spread from Chen Zong's body. This was a kind of fighting spirit that soared to the sky.
"Young Master, I think, with your talent and potential, it is very likely that you will break through and become a Transcendents." Yan Wei said. This was the unanimous opinion of him and Marquis Lin Shan.
"It's still early." Chen Zong smiled.
Although he also wanted to break through to the Transcendents, there was still the True Martial Realm in between.
What's more, he had not really reached the peak of the Strength Refining Realm. There was still a lot of room for improvement. Chen Zong did not know how much time it would take.
It could be one year, two years, or even three years.
Chen Zong was not afraid of wasting time and energy. What he was afraid of was not having a direction to move forward.
"Uncle Wei, is the star-level division of the True Martial Realm the same as the Strength Refining Realm?" Chen Zong asked again.
"The star-level of the Strength Refining Realm is modified according to the True Martial Realm." Yan Wei smiled and said, "The True Martial Realm cultivates Heaven Grade Cultivation Methods and Martial Arts. The peak of the ninth layer of the True Martial Realm cultivates Heaven Grade Low-Rank Cultivation Methods and Martial Arts to the extreme. Their combat strength is at the early stage of the One Star Realm, the most common peak of the ninth layer of the True Martial Realm."
"This division is much more detailed than the Strength Refining Realm." Chen Zong smiled.
"With the True Condensation Technique, it means that the probability of a Strength Refining Realm cultivator breaking through to the True Martial Realm is greatly increased. However, the breakthrough from the True Martial Realm to the Transcendents is extremely difficult. One in ten thousand is not enough to describe it. In order to distinguish the strength of the peak of the ninth layer of the True Martial Realm, the star-level division was created."
"The Nine Star Realm is the highest combat strength. When the Seven Star Combat Strength reaches the level of the Transcendents."
