Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 476 - 285: The Falling Place of the True Lord Lei Yin
The Divine Power Conference takes place only once every sixty years.
It is the greatest event for motivating disciples among the Eight Great Sects, surpassing all other Sect competition events.
Some disciples on the Divine Skill Ranking had been accumulating their strength for this very moment, not only for the stronger integration of the Divine Power Pill but for another very important reason: to secure a ranking in the Divine Power Conference.
Every disciple who achieves first place brings unparalleled glory to their Sect.
Even the Furnace Fire Realm contests are fierce battles of dragons and tigers. Without exception, everyone who makes it to the top ten has the strength to slay an ordinary Primordial Pill Realm Loose Cultivator. Such is the Furnace Fire Realm.
The Primordial Pill Realm is even more exaggerated. Each and every participant almost assuredly has the potential to break through to the Nirvana Realm. Their competition for rank is mainly for paving their way to become a True Disciple within their Sect.
Take Zhou Yan, for example. Although his current strength is not enough to contend for first place, as long as he can rank within the top ten, he can create momentum for himself within the True Martial Sect.
Without breaking through to the Nirvana Realm, he could draw various followers and be offered resources to support his Cultivation!
The transition from the Primordial Pill Realm to the Nirvana Realm is a major hurdle in true Cultivation.
Watching the silently cultivating Zhou Yan, Zhou Fu quietly retreated.
「Meanwhile.」
In the Endless Sea, on an island.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Completely unaware of the scene at the True Martial Sect, Jiang Shu’s gaze shone brightly, as if the image of a green sky and blue sea emerged within his pupils.
Opposite him, Zhao Lingpeng’s aura coalesced amidst the wind and clouds. As he swallowed five Divine Power Life Shortening Pills, thirty-five Divine Skills manifested above his Primordial Pill.
"Ignorance is bliss. Any renowned Island Master wouldn’t dare to be the enemy of an Inner Sect Disciple from our Dao Yi Sect! Because you Loose Cultivators can never understand the foundations of our Dao Yi Sect!"
Zhao Lingpeng’s voice was resounding. Among the Loose Cultivators of the Endless Sea, the higher their Cultivation, the more they understood the terror of a Sect Disciple.
The gap between cultivators is never just a matter of Realm.
It lies even more in the strengths and weaknesses of Divine Skills, Treasures, talismans, and Elixirs.
However, what Zhao Lingpeng could not have anticipated was that Jiang Shu, even though he still didn’t count as an Inner Sect Disciple of the True Martial Sect, had cultivated in the Outer Sect for many years and understood how vast the world was, how numerous the geniuses.
He focused more on the foundation of Cultivation than many so-called sect geniuses. Had he not been accumulating thirty-six Divine Skills, he could have advanced smoothly after breaking through the Mixed Element Breath.
"It is indeed the Dao Yi Sect. Whether in the level of Artifact Refining or Alchemy, they have surpassed other Sects."
As Jiang Shu executed his boxing technique, thunderous might descended.
Among the Eight Great Sects, each had its unique strengths.
The True Martial Sect, for instance, prioritized martial arts as their path. The elders in the Sect were adept at explaining Cultivation Techniques and Divine Skills, believing that Treasures, talismans, and Elixirs were mere external aids to Cultivation.
True strength must be one’s own.
The True Martial Sect would never pay attention to servant disciples or Outer Disciples. They even held a dismissive attitude towards many Inner Sect Disciples.
In the eyes of the elders, only by reaching the Nirvana Realm did one truly practice Cultivation.
And to transcend tribulations, even the initial Wind Tribulation was not something that could be overcome by relying on external aids like Treasures, talismans, or Elixirs.
Therefore, when it comes to the combat power of Outer Sect and Inner Sect Disciples, sometimes they might not compare to those from other Sects.
This was especially true for the Dao Yi Sect, which advocated for the convergence of all paths into one. In their Sect, they developed Treasures, Elixirs, and talismans comprehensively, supplying each disciple with strong resources sufficient to support them in slaying enemies from lower realms.
"The Divine Skills brought about by the Divine Power Life Shortening Pill, after all, aren’t Innate Divine Abilities formed by the integration of the Primordial Pill. You’ve taken five pills, but even if you swallowed five more to gain ten more Divine Skills, what difference would it make to me?"
"Innate Divine Abilities differ from those acquired through later cultivation, not to mention these Divine Skills artificially boosted by Elixirs."
Jiang Shu exposed the fundamental flaw of the Divine Power Life Shortening Pill.
The augmentation from these Divine Skills was at best entry-level.
Even reaching a small success was extremely hard.
They might afford some fighting power against ordinary late-stage Primordial Pill Realm Loose Cultivators.
But in front of him, they were utterly insignificant.
This was especially true since he, with thirty-six Divine Skills, had formed his Primordial Pill.
His Primordial Power was tremendous. Holding the Green Sky and Blue Sea Seal in one hand, Jiang Shu delivered a palm strike.
With his other hand clenched in an unbeatable fist.
Upholding the will of heaven, he wielded his own destiny. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
A single punch came crashing down, as if imbued with the boundless might of heaven itself.
With just a slam and a punch, he caused Zhao Lingpeng, who had just mustered his aura, to spurt blood violently.
PFFT!
"It seems I’ve overestimated you, thinking you could produce some unique skill."
Jiang Shu shook his head. When he first entered the Endless Sea, he had encountered disciples of the Dao Yi Sect.
Back then, he had not advanced to the Mixed Element Breath nor formed a Primordial Pill, only mastering a dozen or so Divine Skills.
Even so, he could slay a same-Realm cultivator, like Zhang Shangqing who had used the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique.
Let alone now, with his Two Realms Shuttle ability and mastery of two different Cultivation systems, he was peerless within any given Realm.
"No... Impossible!"
Tremendous Primordial Power spread its brilliance, shaking the surroundings.
The confidence in Zhao Lingpeng’s eyes crumbled under Jiang Shu’s punch. His gaze became vacant, his eyes revealing an intense disbelief.
What shocked him even more was that, as he brandished his Primordial Pill with its thirty-five Divine Skills, intending to make a final desperate stand, before his very eyes appeared a Divine Power Pill. It radiated with thirty-six Divine Skills, like a majestic sun, overawing everything.
Such might was absolutely impossible to be attained by a Primordial Pill condensed from a mere dozen or so Divine Skills.
