Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 523 - 245, Realm of the Great Grandmaster_2

Manifesting Law, Divine Communication, Primeval Energy, Earth Threshold, Heaven’s Threshold, these are referred to as the Five Realms of Grandmasters. The realm of Manifesting Law is the first realm where a martial artist breaks through to Grandmaster, mainly transforming Gang Qi into True Qi; Divine Communication involves opening the Sea of Consciousness and condensing the Martial Dao Spirit; as the name suggests, the Primeval Energy Realm refers to the complete refining of the Dantian True Qi into a higher level of Primeval Energy.

The subsequent Earth Threshold and Heaven’s Threshold realms refer to two divine acupoints within the martial artist’s body. Breaking through the Earth Threshold Acupoint in the lower abdomen allows the breath to form a Small Circulation within the body, transforming the original Primeval Energy into True Yuan, and one could say that strength multiplies several times over instantly, which is why people call martial artists of this realm Great Grandmasters.

If one can break through the Heavenly Gate Acupoint between the brows and connect it with the Earth Threshold Acupoint, the breath can form a Great Circulation within the body, and the Dantian True Yuan becomes inexhaustible. Even if one continues fighting for several days and nights, they won’t feel tired. Martial artists of this realm are called Sky-level Great Grandmasters by the world. It’s almost impossible for ordinary martial artists to defeat a Great Grandmaster using tactics of attrition or delaying tactics, and as for a Sky-level Great Grandmaster, that’s even more like a fool’s dream.

Although there is no distinction of levels within each of the Five Realms of Grandmasters, the differences between the last two realms and the first three realms are still quite significant. Firstly, the transformations from True Qi to Primeval Energy, and then to True Yuan, and secondly, the opening of the two major divine acupoints within the body, dramatically enhance one’s strength.

This point is evidenced by the identities of the experts Hou Yuxiao has previously met. So far, he had encountered many Grandmasters, including the successors of the Sacred Lands, and others like Ding Dian, Ding Buhai, Lu Guanqing, Chen Yuhe, Liu Fufeng, and some from other Second-rate or First-Class powers. Among these Grandmasters, almost all those who hold high positions within their own powers are at the realm of Great Grandmaster of the Fourth Realm, and those below the Fourth Realm were clearly of lesser significance.

It has long been said in the martial world that only those in the realm of Great Grandmaster are true Grandmasters. While this statement may not be very precise, it does indirectly show the significant distinction between the realm of Great Grandmaster and the previous three realms.

By the time Hou Yuxiao reached Hedong, he had already attained the Master Third Realm, with the True Qi in his Dantian beginning to transform into Primeval Energy. Over the year of standoff in the Prefectural City, his True Qi had transformed into Primeval Energy, and he began attempting to break through the Earth Threshold Acupoint. If he could succeed, he would become a true Great Grandmaster.

Hou Yuxiao furrowed his brow slightly, and the Primeval Energy inside his Dantian began to gather into a fine stream, passing through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians in his body, circulating for a round before gradually gathering in the lower abdomen, slowly converging toward the position of the Earth Threshold Acupoint. Worried that this Qi might still not be enough, Hou Yuxiao nearly drained his Dantian, with other parts of his body visibly wilting, except for a slight bulging in the abdomen.

The temperature inside the meditation room began to rise, a side effect of the massive energy being released due to the excessive concentration of Primeval Energy. Gang Qi Realm experts within the Hou Mansion, including Hou Yuling, Hou Yujie, and Hou Yuduan, sensed this commotion and all moved from their residences towards the main hall, their eyes gleaming with joy as they observed the source of the disturbance within the meditation room.

"Everyone, silence! The Family Head is in a breakthrough retreat, maintain quiet!"

Although Hou Yuduan’s voice was soft, his tone was extremely stern. The others heard it and nodded their heads, daring not to make a sound, just staring with respect at the meditation room.

The Family Head had already possessed the strength to kill a Sky-level Great Grandmaster before, and not much time had passed, yet he was about to make another breakthrough. What level would his strength reach after this breakthrough!

The key was the age of the Family Head...

Those who noticed the commotion and came to watch were mostly Gang Qi Realm guards arranged by Hou Yuling in the mansion. The youngest among them were in their forties or fifties and the eldest were even in their seventies or eighties. Realizing Hou Yuxiao was only twenty-nine this year, astonishment and envy inevitably showed on their faces. Turning their heads to look at Hou Yuduan standing there with his siblings, they couldn’t help but shake their heads slightly.

Not only the Family Head, any one of his four younger brothers and sisters could be considered top-tier geniuses wherever they went, comparable perhaps even to the inheritors of the Sacred Lands!

The envious looks from the outside world were naturally not perceived by Hou Yuxiao at this moment. His Mind and Spirit were fully focused on the Earth Threshold Acupoint. Primeval Energy relentlessly assaulted the acupoint, the resulting waves of pain almost numbing him.

Typically, to assess a person’s martial talent, one looks at how fast they progress in their cultivation. Some people attempt to break through their cultivation realm and fail not just the first or second time, but even the third and fourth times. If the attempts become too numerous, it generally means that one’s natural talent has plateaued. Continuing further in life, they are unlikely to make any more significant progress.

This is why the successors of the Sacred Lands, despite their young age, possess the Cultivation of the Five Realms of Grandmasters or even the Yuan Dan Realm. According to the ten Sacred Lands, the Cultivation Realms below the Martial Dao Yin Yang Holy Realm do not require comprehension but rather are a competition of resources and talent. Completing this stage early on provides endless time for breakthroughs thereafter; otherwise, some may reach the Three Realms of Yuan Dan Great Perfection when life is nearly spent and still be out of reach of the Yin Yang Holy Realm.

In fact, at the beginning of the year, the True Qi in Hou Yuxiao’s Dantian had already fully transformed into Primeval Energy. However, he did not attempt a breakthrough then but continued to consolidate for ten months, aiming for a secure and successful advancement. Despite not worrying about his qualifications, he knew the importance of cultivation; a failure in advancement would not only waste time but also affect future phases of cultivation, and one could not afford carelessness.
