Walking out of the seclusion room, Chen Zong went straight to the central fortress-like hall. That was where Elder Fang Heng lived.
"Elder Fang, Chen Zong is here to visit." Standing in the hall, Chen Zong said loudly.
"You finally came out of seclusion." Elder Fang Heng's vigorous and hearty laughter could be heard. Elder Fang Heng, who looked thin and small, walked in with his hands behind his back. His gait was like a dragon or a tiger.
Elder Fang Heng squinted his eyes and looked at Chen Zong, as if he wanted to see through Chen Zong.
Chen Zong exuded a slight aura fluctuation. Suddenly, Elder Fang Heng's expression changed greatly, and he looked a little surprised and doubtful. He carefully sensed it again, and his eyes suddenly widened, full of shock and disbelief.
The limit of the Ninth Level of the Extreme Mortal Realm!
If he was not wrong, Chen Zong was at the early stage of the Eighth Level of the Extreme Mortal Realm not long ago before he took the Sky-soaring Elixir.
Although he guessed that after Chen Zong took the Sky-soaring Elixir, his cultivation would increase from the early stage of the Eighth Level of the Extreme Mortal Realm to the early stage of the Ninth Level of the Extreme Mortal Realm or even the late stage of the Ninth Level of the Extreme Mortal Realm, he did not even dare to think about the limit of the Ninth Level of the Extreme Mortal Realm.
However, Chen Zong did it.
Unbelievable!
"Come, come, come. Let's test your current strength." Elder Fang Heng could not help but say curiously.
Chen Zong's strength was already very strong before. Among the Extreme Mortal Realm, it would be hard to find a match for him. Now that his cultivation had increased so much, how much would his strength increase?
They were still in the training field in the backyard, and they were still 20 meters apart.
Chen Zong's expression was solemn, but his heart was a little excited. He also wanted to know what level his strength would reach after such a huge increase in his cultivation.
Elder Fang Heng was a Profound Sky Realm warrior, so he did not need to worry about injuring him. He could just use his full strength.
He took a deep breath and instantly adjusted his essence, energy, and spirit to the peak. His strength surged, and the Void Sword Energy surged like thunder. As it surged, it carried an incomparably terrifying strength. It was like an aurora, and it instantly flowed into his five fingers through his arm. His five fingers tightly gripped the sword hilt, and the strength penetrated the sword body.
With a sudden twist of his waist, a powerful burst of energy burst forth. Taking advantage of the momentum, he unsheathed the Heavenly Will Sword.
He unsheathed his sword and did not stop at all. The moment he drew his sword, he unleashed all of his strength. The sword trembled at an astonishing speed, tearing the sky apart.
He slashed out with his sword. The speed of the sword was as fast as lightning. It split the sky and slashed towards Elder Fang Heng, slashing at the protective energy around Elder Fang Heng's body.
With a puff, the sword light shattered. Only a pitch-black sword mark remained in the air, slowly dissipating.
"My Body-Refining Cultivation hasn't reached the limit yet, and I haven't opened the last acupuncture point. Otherwise, this sword strike would have been much more powerful," Chen Zong said to himself. Elder Fang Heng was shocked.
Compared to the previous strike, the power of this strike had increased by several times.
"Good, I think your strength is unparalleled in the Extreme Mortal Realm." Elder Fang Heng was very excited, "You are qualified to be called the strongest Titled King."
Chen Zong, on the other hand, was not that agitated. Now that his strength had reached such a level, everything was normal.
"I was still hesitating at first, but since your cultivation has reached the peak of the Extreme Mortal Realm, and your strength has increased by so much, I should give you a spot this time." Elder Fang Heng said, having made up his mind.
"What spot?" Chen Zong could not help but ask.
"The waves of the Great Earth Vein are coming. With the help of the waves of the Great Earth Vein, you will be able to clearly perceive the power of the Great Earth Vein. In the future, it will be easier for you to break through to the Earth Spirit Realm." Elder Fang Heng laughed.
Chen Zong fell into deep thought.
There were three levels in the Transcendent Realm: the Extreme Mortal Realm, the Earth Spirit Realm, and the Profound Heaven Realm.
Each level of cultivation had its own characteristics.
The Extreme Mortal Realm was to develop one's body's potential, and the way to do so was to open up one's acupuncture points. By opening up one's acupuncture points, one's body's various potentials would be continuously developed, and one would have greater strength and speed. One would also have better balance and explosive power. One's defense would be greatly increased, and one's reaction speed would be greatly improved. Even one's five senses would be strengthened, and one would be able to see further and hear more clearly.
Only by reaching the peak of the human body could one break through to the next level: the Earth Spirit Realm.
The cultivation of the Earth Spirit Realm was different from that of the Extreme Mortal Realm. It had nothing to do with the opening of acupuncture points. Instead, it was to absorb the power of the Great Earth Vein to refine one's spirit energy and subtly influence one's body, causing a new kind of change to occur. This kind of change was often difficult to describe with words.
One could only be sure that this change would ultimately allow one's body to be closer to the earth.
Once a person was born, they would be close to the earth, stick to it, crawl on it, walk on it, and have an inseparable connection with the earth.
The Earth Spirit Realm was to enhance this connection to the extreme.
This was also why when a practitioner of the Earth Spirit Realm trained to a certain level, they would be able to shrink the earth into an inch. It was similar to an innate ability.
Absorbing the power of the Great Earth Vein into one's body, refining it and integrating it into one's spirit energy, then using the power of the Great Earth Vein to nourish one's body, causing the body to subtly transform.
After the transformation, one's body would possess an even more shocking defensive ability. It would be able to withstand attacks from the Extreme Mortal Realm without the need to activate any protective spirit energy. Therefore, a practitioner of the Earth Spirit Realm would have an even stronger ability to protect themselves.
However, in order to absorb the power of the Great Earth Vein into one's body, one must first have a clear enough understanding, understanding, and control of the power of the Great Earth Vein. Only by reaching this step would one be able to successfully absorb and refine the power of the Great Earth Vein into one's body.
Chen Zong thought that his talent for cultivation was not bad, but after reaching the limit of the Extreme Mortal Realm, wanting to break through to the Earth Spirit Realm was still not an easy matter.
Throughout history, except for a very small number of people with extraordinary talent or special opportunities, under normal circumstances, it would usually take several years to truly achieve a breakthrough. Some people even spent ten years or even dozens of years to achieve a breakthrough. There were also people who were stuck at the limit of the Extreme Mortal Realm for their entire lives, unable to break through.
If one could directly sense the fluctuations of the power of the Great Earth Vein, it would be many times more helpful in breaking through to the Earth Spirit Realm.
For those who were certain to break through to the Earth Spirit Realm, it would greatly shorten the time needed.
Therefore, after hearing Elder Fang Heng's words, Chen Zong was pleasantly surprised.
"You are now the Iron Sword Operator of the Extreme Heaven Association. You have a certain status and extraordinary talent, so you are qualified to know some of the secrets of the Extreme Heaven Association." Elder Fang Heng smiled and said, "Our Extreme Heaven Association has a headquarters and seven branches. Only the elders know the location of the headquarters. As for the seven branches, they are located outside of the seven sword cities. For example, our branch is called the White Sword Branch."
"For the upcoming Earthwave, each branch will have seven quotas. There are a total of forty-nine quotas. These forty-nine quotas will compete to determine the strongest seven to represent the Extreme Heaven Association." Elder Fang Heng said, "The Earthwave doesn't only belong to the Extreme Heaven Association. The top forces of the Bright Sword Continent will also send people to participate, including our sworn enemy, the Skyscraper Association."
"The Skyscraper Association!" Chen Zong's pupils instantly shrank.
There was already a grudge between him and the Skyscraper Association, and they were in a hostile relationship. According to the current situation, it seemed that there was no way to resolve the grudge between him and the Skyscraper Association.
"Elder, are there any restrictions for those who can enter the Earthwave?" Chen Zong couldn't help but ask.
After all, he was still in the Extreme Mortal Realm. Even if he had the qualifications to threaten an ordinary first level Earth Spirit Realm expert, it was only a threat. If other forces, such as the Skyscraper Association, sent out powerful Earth Spirit Realm experts, he wouldn't be their opponent.
"Of course there are restrictions." Elder Fang Heng smiled and said, "The Earthwave is only effective for Earth Spirit Realm experts and those who want to break through to the Earth Spirit Realm. In the Earth Spirit Realm, the higher the cultivation level, the less effective it is. In addition, the Earthwave's effects have been weakened over time. After many discussions, the various forces have decided to restrict entry for those below the Earth Spirit Realm to maximize the effects of the Earthwave."
Hearing this, Chen Zong nodded. If it was below the Earth Spirit Realm, there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Although they are restricted to those below the Earth Spirit Realm, many factions have Pseudo Earth Spirit Realm formidable martial artists. Although they haven't achieved the Spirit and Martial Arts Unification Stage and reached the King-Ranked Realm, their powers are not inferior to King-Ranked martial artists. They might even be stronger than some King-Ranked martial artists," Elder Fang Heng said.
"Pseudo Earth Spirit Realm?" Chen Zong had heard of it, but he didn't know much about it.
"The so-called Pseudo Earth Spirit Realm refers to those who have already surpassed the Extreme Mortal Realm and have one foot in the Earth Spirit Realm, but haven't completely reached the Earth Spirit Realm." Elder Fang Heng explained in detail, "To break through to the Earth Spirit Realm, one must first transform one's spirit energy into Earthwave spirit energy. Then, one must condense the Earthwave spirit energy into Earthwave Whirlpool. This is the true Earth Spirit Realm. However, this is the more ordinary Earth Spirit Realm, and is also the choice of most cultivators. It's called the Low Level."
"The more advanced ones are called the Medium Level. After transforming one's spirit energy into Earthwave spirit energy, one must refine one's body into the Earthwave Body. Then, one must condense the Earthwave Whirlpool to break through."
"The best way to achieve this is when both the spiritual energy and the physical body have transformed, and the Fusion of Spirit and Martial Arts can condense the Earth Vein Whirlpool. This kind of Earth Vein Whirlpool is also known as the King Earth Vein Whirlpool. This is because only those who have reached the Extreme Mortal Realm and have been crowned as King Earth Vein Whirlpool can reach this level.
"As for the Pseudo Earth Spirit Realm, one has already transformed one's spirit energy into Earthwave spirit energy, but has yet to refine the Earthwave Body to condense the Earthwave Whirlpool. The more powerful Pseudo Earth Spirit Realm not only has Earthwave spirit energy, but also transforms one's body into the Earthwave Body. They are just one step away from condensing the Earthwave Whirlpool. The most powerful Pseudo Earth Spirit Realm is a King-Ranked Pseudo Earth Spirit Realm Pseudo Earth Spirit Realm. Their strength is extremely terrifying, and they can even kill a Low Level Earth Spirit Realm martial artist."
