Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit-Chapter 205 - 166 Void Realm! God Realm!
Chapter 205: Chapter 166 Void Realm! God Realm!
Chen Jichuan looked at the elder in front of him and felt a sense of familiarity. He speculated in his heart, "This person should be the Great Grandmaster who was observing me ten years ago."
Ten years ago.
Chen Jichuan deliberately showcased his exceptional Swordsmanship skills, attracting great attention from the sect.
For more than two months afterward, someone was constantly watching him. Chen Jichuan faintly noticed and anticipated it in advance, so he staged a show and packaged himself as a Sword Dao prodigy, paving his way smoothly from then on.
At that time, he did not know who the person was in the shadows.
Seeing this elder today, feeling the Qi, he should be that person.
"Disciple Wang Shan, greets Grandmaster Qin!"
Chen Jichuan saw the awkward atmosphere, bowed, and saluted the gray-robed elder.
The elder, being experienced, immediately smiled, looked Chen Jichuan up and down, and nodded repeatedly, "Ten years ago, I paid attention to you, knowing you were a Sword Dao genius, but I still underestimated you."
Thirty-six-year-old Master Core Formation.
Even this Grandmaster Qin was somewhat astonished.
"Your Master Ancestor once praised you as ’born with a Sword Seed’ and advised me not to interfere with you. The Swordsmanship you practiced were all carefully selected by your Master Ancestor."
"Your achievements today owe nothing to my assistance as Sect Master, but your Master Ancestor truly put in a lot of effort."
Yang Xiong smiled beside him.
"The great kindness and virtue of the Grandmaster will never be forgotten by Wang Shan!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jichuan bowed again to Grandmaster Qin.
"A trivial matter, not worth mentioning."
Grandmaster Qin waved his hand dismissively, though he enjoyed it in his heart.
Since he first learned of the disciple "Wang Shan" in the sect, ten years had passed.
In those ten years, he frequently heard Yang Xiong report on Wang Shan’s various deeds and understood this disciple well.
Firstly, dedication to practice.
He was not greedy for pleasure and could endure loneliness. Besides his own hard practice, he also enjoyed challenging top masters from across the world to hone his Sword Dao.
Born a genius and so diligent.
Reaching Core Formation at thirty-six is astonishing, yet it’s only natural when thought back.
Secondly, gratitude and deep feelings.
When his mistress was stuck at the Postnatal and couldn’t breakthrough, he sought and offered the Black Fire Spirit Fruit to help her advance.
Clearly devoted to cultivation, with no time for other concerns. Yet he was willing to make time, put in effort, and meticulously guide his master, Wang Ji’s only granddaughter, Wang Yan, ultimately helping her reach the Innate Realm.
In addition to his straightforward nature, revenge for grievances, and never deceiving the sect in his cultivation progress and actions outside.
These qualities made Grandmaster Qin value him even more.
He thought he would have to wait a few more years before entrusting important duties, but unexpectedly, he received a surprise.
...
"Back when your Master Uncles, Nie, and Bu were not yet Great Grandmasters, they were all listed on the ’Heavenly List,’ and people of the time called the three ’Taixu Three Heroes,’ also praised as ’Wind and Cloud Unmatched.’
"Having just advanced to Core Formation, if you have any questions about cultivation, you can consult with Grandmaster Qin."
Yang Xiong advised from the side.
Chen Jichuan understood.
Amidst the various sects of the Central Earth’s Seven States, Innate Grandmasters and Transforming Strength Grandmasters serve as the facade, while the higher-level Great Grandmasters remain secretive.
Ordinary martial artists, even sect Grandmasters like him, don’t have access to figures at the Great Grandmaster level, nor do they hear any news about them.
It’s like two separate worlds.
Clearly delineated.
Take the Taixu Sword Sect, for instance.
Common people in Jianghu, and even disciples and elders within the Taixu Sword Sect, believe the strongest in the sect are the numerous Innate and Transforming Strength Grandmasters.
They have no idea that there are Great Grandmasters.
Chen Jichuan previously didn’t know if there were Great Grandmasters in the Taixu Sword Sect, so he studied the annual Heavenly List compiled by the Shenji Sect.
Paying special attention to Taixu Sword Sect Grandmasters.
In several editions more than a hundred years ago, the ’Heavenly List’ featured ’Qin Feng,’ ’Nie Yun,’ and ’Bu Wushuang.’ But when they were in their sixties or seventies, they suddenly disappeared from the list.
Thinking back now.
That should have been when they advanced to Great Grandmasters.
"Our Taixu Sword Sect follows the Inner Strength lineage, renowned for Swordsmanship. Your talent is exceptional; not only is your Sword Dao aptitude high, but you’ve also achieved much in external skills, which is a good thing."
"But I and my two senior brothers are all skilled in Inner Strength, so regarding external skill Core Formation cultivation, I may not be as knowledgeable as you. If you wish to pursue the external skills lineage, you will have to explore on your own."
Grandmaster Qin explained to Chen Jichuan.
Cultivation is difficult.
For ordinary people to achieve anything in either Inner Strength or external skills is already a rarity.
Throughout history, there have been very few martial artists who have successfully cultivated both Inner Strength and external skills to the Great Grandmaster level.
Like Grandmaster Qin, who is solely an Inner Strength Great Grandmaster.
In terms of external skills.
Chen Jichuan’s current cultivation and attainment have already surpassed Grandmaster Qin’s, so the latter naturally can’t guide him.
At best, he can only provide some common knowledge known among Great Grandmasters.
Like the hierarchy——
"In Jianghu, what is beyond Innate and Transforming Strength is collectively known as Great Grandmasters."
"In reality, there are more detailed classifications within."
"For external skills, after breaking through Transforming Strength, it’s called the ’God Realm.’ For Inner Strength, after breaking through Innate, it’s called the ’Void Realm.’
"Your current cultivation is at the first stage of the God Realm, also known as the ’Core Formation Realm,’ equivalent to the first stage of the Void Realm, ’Void Realm.’
"Completing Core Formation leads to the second stage of the God Realm, also known as the ’Gang Condensing Realm,’ equivalent to the second stage of the Void Realm, ’Void Realm.’
"Completing Gang Condensation leads to the third stage of the God Realm, also known as ’Seeing God Indestructible,’ equivalent to the third stage of the Void Realm, ’Void Nether Realm.’
Grandmaster Qin first clarified the classifications within Great Grandmasters to Chen Jichuan.
Great Grandmaster.
This is a title, a generalized term.
Just like Grandmaster, there are detailed subdivisions within.
External skills God Realm!
Inner Strength Void Realm!
"Core Formation, Condensing Gang, Seeing God Indestructible. These are the three stages of the God Realm for external skills."
"Void, Void Realm, Void Nether. These are the three stages of the Void Realm for Inner Strength."
Chen Jichuan understood, looking at Grandmaster Qin——
Name: Qin Feng (Real Name: Qin Shan)
Age: 268
Level: 16
Cultivation: Qi Refining Sixth Layer (Void Realm Second Stage: Late Stage of Void); Transforming Strength Fourth Layer;
Cultivation Technique: "Taixu Sword Manual"
Magic: Wind God Sword, Wind God Leg, ...., etc.
...
"Real name Qin Shan, later changed to Qin Feng?"
"Makes sense."
"With ’Wind’ in the name, and practicing the ’Wind God Sword’ and ’Wind God Leg,’ it’s quite a coincidence. Presumably, after achieving something in these skills, he simply changed his name."
Chen Jichuan speculated in his heart.
Then he thought about how this Qin Feng actually had Qi Refining Sixth Layer cultivation, already at the late stage of the Void Realm in this Qinling World. Such cultivation in the Jade Spring World would be at the pinnacle, with no further advancement possible.
But in this world——
Beyond Void Realm, there is ’Void Nether.’
"May I ask, Grandmaster, is reaching the Void Nether in the Void Realm and Seeing God Indestructible in the God Realm the legendary ’Supreme’?"
Chen Jichuan curiously asked.
Since he came to the Qinling World, he had heard many legends about Supremes——
One palm breaking a river.
One sword cleaving a mountain.
Shattering the Void.
The former two are not that rare, but shattering the void is unimaginable.
He knew that within the Qi Refining Realm, each level had significant differences. Qi Refining Fourth Layer and Seventh Layer represented a qualitative breakthrough.
Even though Chen Jichuan had reached Qi Refining Sixth Layer, he still had no concept of Qi Refining Seventh Layer.
"Opening Qi Meridians, benefiting future generations."
"Can this level shatter the void?"
Chen Jichuan didn’t know.
He looked at Grandmaster Qin, who smiled and shook his head, "Throughout history, many masters have emerged at the Void Realm and God Realm levels, and there are quite a few at the Void Nether and Seeing God Indestructible levels. But only four have ever become Supremes: ’Emperor Yong’ Guu Yong, ’Sword Ancestor’ Taixu, ’Daoist Ancestor’ Taixuan Fuyao, and the ’Buddha Ancestor’ Three Treasures." freёwebnoѵel.com
Grandmaster Qin revealed a longing expression: "Surpassing Void Nether, breaking through the void, only after breaking through the Void Realm or God Realm can one become a Supreme."
Beyond Divine Void, lies the Supreme.
Chen Jichuan silently noted this, feeling a surge of joy.
From this perspective, the limit of the Qinling World may not just be Qi Refining; perhaps it’s possible to surpass Qi Refining and reach the second stage of cultivation, the ’Enlightenment Realm.’
After more than a decade.
Only now did Chen Jichuan feel like he was seeing the world with new clarity.
Grandmaster Qin was oblivious to Chen Jichuan’s thoughts and continued: "Regardless of pursuing external skills or Inner Strength, reaching the ultimate level, it’s possible to become a Supreme."
"Our Taixu Sword Sect originally had the Sword Ancestor’s legacy, the Supreme Divine Scripture ’Taixu Ten Swords,’ which, along with the ’Xingyi Fist’ from Huangtian City’s Guu family, the ’Taixuan Scripture’ from Taixuan Temple, and the ’Dragon Tiger Strong Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill’ from Great Sun Vajra Temple, were called the Four Great Divine Books."
"Unfortunately, the ’Taixu Ten Swords’ was lost thousands of years ago. Though generations in our Taixu Sword Sect have searched and patched it, resulting in the ’Taixu Ten Swords,’ now seen as a rare cultivation secret, it’s still far from the God-level secret scriptures."
The Taixu Sword Sect has extraordinary origins.
But the Sword Ancestor was a character from millennia ago, and with time, all sorts of changes were bound to occur.
The Taixu Sword Sect has experienced ups and downs, once plummeting to the bottom. Four to five hundred years ago, the Taixu Sword Sect was so diminished that it only occupied one city.
In fact.
It’s not just the Taixu Sword Sect.
Even the Guu family from Huangtian City, left by the first Supreme ’Emperor Yong,’ once faced catastrophe and nearly toppled.
How the crisis was resolved is unknown, but after that, a major sect appeared on the Central Earth, named the ’Xingyi Sect,’ primarily practicing one of the Four Great Divine Books, the ’Xingyi Fist.’
The Taixu Sword Sect has experienced ups and downs.
Now possessing two counties, and the emergence of a top genius like Chen Jichuan suggests hope for a resurgence.
...
"The ’Taixu Sword Manual’ is far inferior to the ’Taixu Ten Swords,’ but it remains a heavenly-level secret scripture with the potential to reach the Void Nether Realm. In contrast, we have very few texts in external skills available for God Realm cultivation, not even one scroll."
Grandmaster Qin spoke while taking down five large stacks of books from a nearby shelf: "These external skills secret scriptures were recently found by me and my two senior brothers during our outside searches. They are mostly fragmented, useful for reference, but pursuing cultivation through them might backfire, so be careful."
The stacks of books might seem numerous.
But in reality, they recorded only five cultivation techniques. Lacking Jade Scrolls, these texts were on paper, requiring at least ten or more volumes to fully explain one technique.
Like the ’Taixu Sword Manual’ Chen Jichuan previously cultivated, it had up to twenty-nine volumes.
"Thank you, Grandmaster, for taking the trouble."
"I am devoted to Sword Dao and do not intend to devote much effort to external skills."
Chen Jichuan understood Grandmaster Qin’s intention.
Talking about the Inner Strength lineage of the Taixu Sword Sect, mentioning ’Taixu Ten Swords,’ and then ’Taixu Sword Manual.’
All aimed at encouraging him to focus on Inner Strength.
After all.
The Taixu Sword Sect lacks a legacy of external skills. Even if Chen Jichuan is a genius, dedicating effort to this would likely result in unremarkable achievements.
Instead, taking advantage of youth and redirecting early on towards Inner Strength and Swordsmanship would be better.
Chen Jichuan cottoned on.
He joined the Taixu Sword Sect originally for the Sword Ancestor’s legacy, naturally not forsaking the major for the minor.
"Good!"
"That’s the way!"
Grandmaster Qin had waited a long time for these words after speaking for a while.
Hearing Chen Jichuan’s commitment, he beamed with delight.
