Xiao Yan smiled as he looked at the young practitioner who was slowly opening his eyes. According to Xiao Yan's perception, this young practitioner's cultivation was not bad. At least in the Dou Qi continent, he could be considered an outstanding talent. He had already reached the strength of a seven star Dou Huang. The huge wolf that he was fighting with was a rank seven Magic Beast, the Howling Moon Wolf. This kind of Magic Beast was extremely ruthless in battle. As long as there was an opportunity to kill its opponent, it would not hesitate to charge forward and kill its opponent. Even if its opponent was about to hit its vital point, it would not have the slightest intention of dodging. Therefore, when faced with its life-for-life fighting style, many people would retreat in order to advance. They would only defend and not attack, waiting for it to reveal a flaw before giving it a fatal blow. Unfortunately, there were usually very few people who could last until then because under the violent bombardment of the Howling Moon Wolf, they simply could not withstand it. Unless one's strength far surpassed the Howling Moon Wolf, no one would be stupid enough to contend with it with weak strength. However, the person in front of Xiao Yan was a little strange. Although Xiao Yan had seen a few corpses earlier, from the appearance, their status and strength seemed to be lower than this person's. He should have been brought out from his own faction.
The moment the young practitioner opened his eyes and saw Xiao Yan, he instinctively leaped up from the green rock he was lying on and landed on the ground a couple of feet away from Xiao Yan, carrying a gray fog with him. After which, he appeared to have recalled something and quickly walked forward. He cupped his hands together and bowed to Xiao Yan as he said, "Brother Xiao Yan, I have been waiting for you.
"I am Liu Xiang. Thank you for saving my life. I did not recognize my benefactor just now. I hope that benefactor will forgive me."
Liu Xiang did not have a trace of hesitation when he spoke. It could be seen that he was also a straightforward person. Therefore, Xiao Yan did not blame him. After explaining his intentions, the two of them walked out of the mountain forest together. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble and to first understand this world, Xiao Yan did not fly out with Liu Xiang.
Along the way, Xiao Yan also had a good impression of Liu Xiang. From his conversation with Liu Xiang along the way, Xiao Yan understood that they were now in the southwest region of the continent, adjacent to the Desolate Ancient Forest in the south. There were many extremely powerful magical beasts, some of which were even strong enough to reach the peak of the continent. Their strength was not inferior to some of the peak existences of the human race. However, they seemed to have some agreement with the human race that they could not casually attack, otherwise they would be hunted down by experts from both sides until they died.
Liu Xiang lived in a city called Qingyang City. It was a small city in the southwest region, and Liu Xiang was a member of one of the two great clans in Qingyang City. The two clans had been fighting openly and secretly for hundreds of years. The other clan was surnamed Wu, and the two had always been evenly matched. Until ten years ago, when the head of the Wu clan made a breakthrough and injured the head of the Liu clan in a battle with the head of the Liu clan, leaving the head of the Liu clan with sequelae. Although the head of the Liu clan was injured and left with sequelae, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. With the foundation of the Liu clan, although the sequelae had not been completely removed, as long as the other medicinal ingredients were found, the sequelae would immediately be removed. Unfortunately, in the past ten years, the Wu clan had been unforgiving, constantly suppressing the Liu clan. Most of the textile markets in Qingyang City had been occupied by the Wu clan. Although the head of the Wu clan's sequelae had almost completely recovered, the situation had become very critical. The remaining medicinal ingredients had not been found, but now that the Wu clan was about to attack the city, Liu Xiang had no choice but to bring his clan members out to search for medicinal ingredients. After two months of searching, Liu Xiang finally found the exact location of all the medicinal ingredients with great difficulty. After several battles, there were not many people left, but the last medicinal ingredient, Soulguard Grass, had not been found. This made Liu Xiang and the others very anxious. Seeing that the clan war was about to happen, but the head of the Wu clan had not recovered from the sequelae, they had no choice but to make a final gamble. When the seventh level magical beast, Howling Moon Wolf, went out to hunt for food, they quietly made a move. However, for some reason, they were discovered by the Howling Moon Wolf. After a series of battles, they were already exhausted, but now that they were discovered by the magical beast, they had no choice but to fight it. In the end, they were all wiped out. If Xiao Yan had not come in time, even Liu Xiang would have been eaten by the Howling Moon Wolf at this moment.
Time passed unknowingly. The two of them chatted as they walked. In the blink of an eye, they had already approached the city. Xiao Yan glanced over and saw a black line on the distant ground. The ground under his feet had unknowingly changed from a green grassland to a solid hard road. It was obvious that this was the result of frequent traffic. Xiao Yan inhaled a deep breath and sensed the familiar human aura between the heavens and the earth. The corner of his mouth was lifted into an arc as he softly sighed.
"It's still better to be with humans! It's really too boring to be alone! Brother Liu, I still have something to do. See you later! See you later! "
As his voice fell, he ignored Liu Xiang's shocked expression and his body flashed and disappeared in front of Liu Xiang. Only the lingering sound of Xiao Yan's voice still reverberated in the sky, telling Liu Xiang that a person had just been here. He already knew the name of that person. It was a young man called Xiao Yan, who looked to be about the same age as him.
Liu Xiang stood in the same spot for a long time and only recovered after a while. He took a step forward and almost fell. Only then did Liu Xiang realize that his legs were numb. He circulated the Dou Qi in his body and removed the numbness in his legs. Only then did he continue to rush toward Qingyang City. However, his speed this time was aided by his Dou Qi. Streams of pale green flowing light were left in the places that Liu Xiang passed by, and his body had already disappeared hundreds of feet away.
As he was walking, he muttered to himself, "So … so fast. This kind of speed, I'm afraid that only the head of the family can keep up with him at full strength. Doesn't that mean that his strength is at least at the same level as the head of the family? It's really too terrifying. With this kind of talent, he's probably a disciple from a large sect who came out to train. If my Liu family is on good terms with him, then even the Wu family will have to be courteous to us. I must quickly let the head of the family know about this matter. "
As his voice fell, his speed increased once again. His body flashed and he quickly flew toward the Liu family in Qingyang City.
Liu Xiang was still rushing toward Qingyang City from outside the city, but Xiao Yan had already begun to stroll around the city. Xiao Yan looked at the bustling streets and smiled. After a few turns in the streets and the flow of people, he finally found a merchant association that specialized in selling information.
Xiao Yan entered the shop and saw that the counters were filled with information about ordinary factions. He casually flipped through them and revealed a smile. With a book in his hand, he threw a handful of gold coins and walked out. After leaving the merchant association, he carefully looked at the dust-covered book in his hand.
This book was called "Continent Explanation" and it explained many things to know about the continent. However, Xiao Yan did not pay too much attention to it. Instead, he directly looked at the most important part.
This continent was called the Yuanwu Continent. In ancient times, there were many capable people. Experts were born in large numbers and geniuses were gathered. The Yuanwu Continent was mainly divided into two major parts, the Central Region and the Outer Region. The Outer Region was further divided into four parts, the East, West, South and North. The four parts were further divided into the Nine Prefectures. The Nine Prefectures were further divided into 36 counties and 72 prefectures. The book did not explain the Central Region in detail. Xiao Yan was not surprised and continued to read.
Xiao Yan was naturally most concerned about strength. After all, strength was the only pass to the entire continent. Therefore, Xiao Yan read very carefully.
The division of strength in the Yuanwu Continent was mostly the same as the division of strength in the Dou Qi Continent. However, when it came to Dou Di, Xiao Yan frowned slightly.
The division of strength in the Yuanwu Continent was no longer the same after reaching Dou Sheng. After Dou Sheng, it was divided into:
Half Emperor, Dou Di, Origin Transformation Realm, Origin Returning Realm, Origin King, Origin Emperor, Origin Zong, Origin Venerable, Origin Saint, Origin Emperor.
These realms were the divisions of strength in the Yuanwu Continent. Most of them were the same from Dou Zhe to Dou Sheng, but the only difference was between the Origin Transformation and Returnance realms.
The book explained that the Origin Transformation and Returnance realms did not differ by nine stars like the other realms. The Origin Transformation and Returnance realms were divided into early, mid, and late stages. The late stages were further divided into the late stages and the peak of the late stages. Before one reached the Origin Transformation realm, one could use the Emperor's Origin Energy in the world to cultivate. Of course, the prerequisite was that one had to adapt to the Genesis Qi in the world. Xiao Yan's situation when he broke through earlier was because his body was incompatible with the Genesis Qi of the world. If it were not for the jade bottle, Xiao Yan would not know what to do.
The reason why the people of the Yuanwu Continent could adapt to the Genesis Qi of the world was mainly because they were born on the continent, so they naturally adapted early. Once they matured, there was no need for them to adjust to the Genesis Qi. For example, Xiao Yan would not be able to adapt to the Genesis Qi of the world for a period of time.
The two realms relied on a cultivator's familiarity with the Genesis Qi of the world, allowing them to draw the Genesis Qi into their body and use it for themselves.
The Origin Transformation realm was the cultivation of both Dou Qi and Genesis Qi. Once a cultivator reached the Returnance realm, they would mainly cultivate Genesis Qi.
It was impossible for a human's body to grow forever, because if a human's body could constantly grow, there would be no such thing as aging, sickness, and death. Although Dou Qi could strengthen the body, once one's strength reached a certain level, they would explode from the tremendous amount of Dou Qi no matter how great their cultivation was. The purpose of cultivating Genesis Qi was to absorb and refine the Genesis Qi and use it to strengthen the body. This was because people had discovered that Genesis Qi was much gentler and denser than Dou Qi. No matter how many cultivators there were, nothing would happen to them. However, there was a flaw that Genesis Qi could not be compared to Dou Qi, which was that Genesis Qi was far less destructive than Dou Qi. Fortunately, everyone needed to use Genesis Qi after reaching the Returnance realm, so cultivators did not have to worry about it. As for Dou Emperors, although they still cultivated Dou Qi, even ten peak Dou Emperors would not be able to match a single Returnance expert. From this, it could be seen that the difference in cultivation was not something that could be offset by the strength of one's cultivation.
The main purpose of cultivating at the Returnance realm was to harmonize the body with the Genesis Qi of the world, reaching a state of perfect fusion. This step was easier said than done. It required one to refine and absorb the Genesis Qi of the world and condense it into a white Genesis Qi bead in the body. The purer the Genesis Qi bead, the better it would be. In particular, milky-white Genesis Qi beads were extremely pure. As long as one could condense a milky-white Genesis Qi bead, it meant that one's future was limitless, and there would definitely be many super sects that would try to rope them in. If only one of them knew about it, they would do everything in their power to stop all news and recruit the person. Once the Genesis Qi bead was successfully condensed, reaching the Origin Ancestor realm would be set in stone. This was why so many people remained at the Returnance realm for so long just for the sake of glory. They hoped to gain a place in the super sects. Once they succeeded, they and their clans would achieve unparalleled glory. The Returnance realm was what they relied on the most.
