I call this realm the Dharma-Image realm. One can cultivate one’s own Dharma-Image, and strength will skyrocket!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Dharma-Image?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Bu was stunned and asked in confusion: \"Tell me specifically!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xuan continued: \"You must know the Army Soul very well, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hmm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Bu nodded affirmatively.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The Dharma-Image can actually be understood as a personal version of the Army Soul! Just by relying on one’s own Qi, blood, and divine soul power, one can condense a huge Dharma-Image giant similar to the Army Soul. That is the Dharma-Image realm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Of course, the mystery of this realm is far more than that. Specifically, I won't tell you for now. When you improve to the peak of the Heaven-Human realm, you can go to the Merit Pavilion to exchange for relevant cultivation techniques and classics. I have recorded the detailed content, including the methods and experience of breaking through, there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hiss!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Bu gasped upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although Su Xuan described very little, just this was enough for Lu Bu to imagine.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"In this way, wouldn't it be possible to form a formation alone and become an army alone to fight the enemy without the need for military formations and personal soldiers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This is equivalent to saying that a powerhouse in the Dharma-Image realm is equivalent to the combat power of a Heaven-Human realm powerhouse combined with thousands of elite personal soldiers forming a military formation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hehe! Not just that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xuan smiled slightly: \"Although different foundations and breakthroughs will definitely result in different strengths in the Dharma-Image realm;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"But according to my deduction, even the most ordinary powerhouse in the early stage of the Dharma-Image realm is equivalent to the combat power of a peak Heaven-Human realm powerhouse combined with 500 elite soldiers at the peak of Ming-Jin forming a top-tier perfect military formation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hiss!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Bu gasped again and exclaimed: \"Actually so terrifying? This is truly invincible? Su Boyuan, currently under your command, besides you, who else has broken through to the Dharma-Image realm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What is Brother Huang Hansheng’s strength?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thinking of the powerful and incomparable Dharma-Image realm, Lu Bu’s heart also became hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He wished he could get the divine arts and resources Su Xuan mentioned now, go back to cultivate, and improve to the Dharma-Image realm as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"As for Huang Hansheng, he is currently only at the peak of the Heaven-Human realm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Currently, under my command, besides me, no one has broken through to the Dharma-Image realm yet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This hurdle is not that simple! Hehe!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xuan shook his head with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It is because he has come up with too many good things over the years, whether it is resources or cultivation techniques... etc., they have all been improved by several grades.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Otherwise, no one in this world could break through to above the Heaven-Human realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In fact, cultivation in the Heaven-Human realm would be difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A shallow pool cannot raise a flood dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Under normal circumstances, the Heaven-Human realm is already the peak that the world’s resources can supply.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Oh? Is that so? Then don't I still have a chance to catch up with Huang Hansheng, Zhao Zilong, and the others and become the second Dharma-Image realm powerhouse in the world?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Bu beamed with joy upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Uh... it is a good thing to have confidence!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xuan was also slightly stunned upon hearing this. He could not bear to dampen Lu Bu’s enthusiasm and could only comfort him like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhao Yun, who was on the side, smiled lightly, took a sip of wine, looked at Lu Bu, and teased: \"Brother Brother Fengxian’s idea is quite good! However, wait until your cultivation catches up with mine before talking!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Our talent was about the same at the beginning, but you haven't cultivated the divine arts and secret techniques created by the lord. Without the blessing of these things, the cultivation speed is many times slower. And without the supply of top-tier resources from the lord’s side before, the cultivation speed is several times slower. It is not that easy to catch up with me, Huang Hansheng, and Old Dian Wei!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I think you also know the difficulty of improving in the Heaven-Human realm;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Even with the supply of the resources I mentioned above, it will take at least several years for you to improve to the peak of the Heaven-Human realm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"By then, let alone Huang Hansheng, I and Old Old Dian should have already broken through to the Dharma-Image realm! Hehe!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This is the advantage of joining early and enjoying these top-tier resources early!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and said unyieldingly: \"Then I don't believe it! Just wait! I will definitely become the second Dharma-Image realm powerhouse! Hmph! Let’s have a competition!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"By the way! Su Boyuan, how many Heaven-Human realm powerhouses do you have under your command now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Bu was very curious about this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, Su Xuan has such good resources here, and even his daughter can improve so fast. He does not believe that Su Xuan still has only those few Heaven-Human realm powerhouses from the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just in this main hall, there are quite a few powerhouses at the middle, late, or peak stages of Gang-Qi!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the past, those were the top batch in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But placed under Su Xuan, it is as if they are being wholesaled, batch after batch.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"As for the Heaven-Human realm,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xuan thought for a moment and replied: \"Excluding Zhao Zilong, Huang Hansheng, and Old Dian Wei, there are also Xu Chu, Taishi Ci, Wen Pin, Zhang He, Zhang Liao, oh! And there is a Taoist named Zuo Ci; he is even at the peak of the Heaven-Human realm, and not far from the Dharma-Image realm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What? So many?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Bu gasped upon hearing this: \"That adds up to ten Heaven-Human realm powerhouses!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You are truly invincible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Even that kid Zhang Liao has already broken through to the Heaven-Human realm. It seems I underestimated the benefits brought by your divine arts, secret techniques, and resources!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, even Lu Bu felt some pressure!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>People who were originally at the same level had surpassed him by a lot, and the younger generation behind were also catching up. Only he had been standing still before. What a loss!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If I had known this, I should have joined your command directly back then. If that were the case, I would definitely have broken through to the Dharma-Image realm by now! I regret it, Su Boyuan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Bu said depressedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Haha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xuan looked up and laughed: \"It is too late to regret! I knew you couldn't have joined my command wholeheartedly back then, so I didn't mention it at all;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Don't have pressure either; it is actually not too late now! With your talent, plus the resources on my side, catching up with Huang Hansheng and the others is just a matter of time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The later it gets, the harder it is to improve in each realm, and the more time it takes. You still have a chance to catch up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"However, don't think about being the second, third, or fourth Dharma-Image realm powerhouse! You won't be able to catch up with Huang Hansheng and the others in time! Hehe!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The gap of several years is not so easy to cross.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Unless Lu Bu can get more and better resources than Zhao Yun and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But is this possible?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Let alone Su Xuan doesn't have them, even if he did, he wouldn't provide them for no reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Alright!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Bu felt a bit lost, but soon cheered up again, full of fighting spirit: \"I will not admit defeat. Sooner or later, I will catch up. You guys just wait and see! Hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He, Lu Bu, has never been weaker than others!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Haha! We are looking forward to it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xuan, Zhao Yun, and the others laughed aloud and raised their glasses to invite them.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Early the next morning, Su Xuan took Lu Bu and his party to Xiangyang City to settle down.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As for the 30,000+ troops Lu Bu brought?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They had already been handed over to Zhang Liao, Taishi Ci, and the others by Su Xuan to be settled.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>These troops definitely need to be dispersed first and incorporated into the new recruit camp for a six-month special training. Only after they are familiar with the rules, regulations, training methods, and military orders of Su Xuan’s army will they be assigned and incorporated into various armies based on their performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Currently, Su Xuan’s army implements a graded legion system.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Divided into special-grade, first-grade, second-grade, and third-grade legion systems.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Third-grade legions basically serve as garrison troops for various counties, while second-grade, first-grade, and special-grade are the true main combat troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With enough military merit and strength, one can apply for promotion to a higher-level legion.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This applies not only to ordinary soldiers but also to officers.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Perhaps, in terms of position, the officers of the third-grade legions are basically on par with those of the first-grade and special-grade legions, but in terms of actual power, status, and benefits, they are worlds apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Therefore, anyone with a bit of ambition would definitely break their heads trying to enter a higher-level legion.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This keeps Su Xuan’s army full of vitality and a spirit of striving.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course, Su Xuan did not intend to disperse Lu Bu’s 2,000 personal guards, nor did he intend to reorganize them separately. Instead, he prepared to continue handing them over to Lu Bu, letting Lu Bu lead these troops into the new recruit camp to train for a few months to familiarize themselves with the military rules and regulations of Su Xuan’s army.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr\u002F>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>— Author's Notes —\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>PS: Seeking first subscriptions, custom subscriptions, and support!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>0 Seeking flowers 0\u003C\u002Fp>",1672,"2026-06-16T22:49:48.622Z","2026-06-17T08:57:40.402Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","9b5f8f446626d26d9f77ee565eb5d9206ac486bf1dbe5ec2d4d0cd82d9fd2492","heaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-chapter-422","heaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-chapter-420",467,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-cover.jpg"]
