Chapter 275: Baichuan's Power, Two Suns in the Sky

As the center of everyone's questioning, what was Baichuan's expression at this moment?

His expression was somewhat subtle, because he had finally understood the specific situation of the matter.

Everything stemmed from his Spirit Qi cultivation; speaking of this, one must mention that the Spirit Qi system of this world does not actually have fixed boundaries between each realm, but is merely roughly divided into Initial Qi Refining, True Person, True Monarch, and Great Heavenly Venerate.

【Initial Qi Refining】 is just having a trace of Spirit Qi; after possessing this trace of Spirit Qi, one continues to practice diligently until one accumulates five hundred years of Spirit Qi cultivation, thereby crossing the first transformation and refining Spirit Qi into Spirit Power. A practitioner with five hundred years of cultivation who possesses Spirit Power is then called a 【True Person】.

After the True Person stage, the practitioner must merge their own divine sense with heaven and earth, comprehending the Great Dao between heaven and earth to break through to the 【True Monarch】 realm. This realm can be achieved by comprehending the Great Dao of heaven and earth at any point from the moment one crosses the five-hundred-year cultivation mark and possesses Spirit Power, up to the limit of one thousand years of cultivation.

However, a breakthrough at the latter's limit might be slightly stronger than the former, and without anyone's help, the latter's chance of breakthrough is slightly higher, though this chance is only by a tiny bit.

After all, a common saying circulates throughout the entire cultivation world: True Persons are common, but True Monarchs are not; all beneath the True Monarch are mere ants.

This sentence reveals that the breakthrough to True Monarch is extremely difficult. Unlike the ancient era, when anyone who understood the Great Dao of heaven and earth could break through, the current cultivation world has a significant number of True Monarchs, which means the Great Dao between heaven and earth has almost all been comprehended and occupied by those predecessors.

That's right, the Great Dao is limited, and it can be occupied.

The Great Dao between heaven and earth is right there, unmoving and eternal, and a True Monarch represents the need to comprehend the Great Dao oneself, occupy it, and then use one's own comprehension to manifest it through Spirit Power.

In Baichuan's view, the Great Dao is like an invisible, universal magnifying Faba that can manifest the inner thoughts of those True Monarchs through Spirit Power, achieving the feat of replacing the heart of heaven with one's own heart.

However, it is precisely because of this that once the Great Dao is occupied, it inevitably becomes tainted with that True Monarch's intent, distracting thoughts, and power Characteristics, turning into private property—what is known as a 【Dao Fruit】.

Consequently, it becomes even harder for later generations to comprehend. However, if it were just this, it would be fine; at most, it would just make the Great Dao harder to comprehend. There are still brilliant talents in the world who can break through layers of shackles and succeed in their comprehension.

But at this time, once the owner of the Great Dao that a newcomer is comprehending is still alive, they will instantly be sensed by that True Monarch, and what awaits that newcomer is a hunt by a True Monarch.

After all, since you are preparing to snatch someone else's True Monarch Dao Fruit position, there is no room left between the two; the hatred of blocking one's Dao is already irreconcilable, let alone this grievance of stealing the Dao.

In this regard, the True Monarch realm is equivalent to the God-level powerhouses in the Western region; one God Position/Great Dao for one slot, and until the person in the slot rises, it is almost impossible to break through.

As for the Great Heavenly Venerate, because Baichuan has not personally seen one, he currently judges them to be powerhouses of Main God Level.

This is the cultivation realm of this world.

And the power Baichuan currently possesses is equivalent to a True Person who has reached the limit, that is, a thousand years of Spirit Power cultivation; even if he wanted to continue improving, he could not.

Because there is no path forward, unless he comprehends the Great Dao of this world, which Baichuan suspects is a derivative of the source of the Spirit Qi power system.

But would Baichuan do that? If he were willing, he would not have given up the LV5-level ability of the Radiant Lord at the beginning.

That ability is the Core of the gods/True Monarchs of this world—the Dao Fruit.

Once this ability is evolved, it means that under the influence of the Dao Fruit and Spirit Power, one must transform one's own soul, which is what the current Baichuan cannot tolerate the most.

The danger of this has already been explained: the soul ability will fuse with one's own consciousness, and once it is degenerated or removed, the consequence is the disappearance of one's own consciousness; even if this ability is evolved again later, the consciousness will no longer be the original one.

In Baichuan's view, this is his true death, and any subsequent resurrection would merely be a new spirit possessing all of his memories and foundations.

Therefore, it is precisely because of this point that he previously, due to his small habits, subconsciously leaked his own aura while using techniques—the True Person realm of a thousand years of cultivation.

If such a realm appeared elsewhere, it would naturally be considered a powerful Expert, but who is standing in front of him now?

The invincible divine general and soldier of the Great Long with endless glorious achievements—the Thunder God General, and the regional governor who manages an entire province—Lord Mo.

Just these two need not be mentioned; the former's strength is a great power comparable to a True Monarch under the Conferring Gods martial official system, and the latter is an Expert at the limit of the True Person realm under the Conferring Gods civil official system.

In front of powerhouses of this level, is a mere True Person very strong?

This is the reason why the man with the faint smile was so angry after discovering the "truth" of the matter.

It was merely a mere True Person, yet he dared to bluff and intimidate their group; how dare he?!

As for Baichuan's massive size, in the eyes of the man who understood the "truth," it was nothing more than a rare smokescreen, illusion, or some other side-door trick.

After all, the world is so big that it is not strange to possess any kind of magic, but only one's own cultivation aura cannot be faked. Perhaps a great power can weaken their own cultivation aura to pretend to be a mortal playing in the world, but it is absolutely impossible for anyone to make their cultivation aura stronger than their own realm.

This is an iron law recognized by the entire cultivation world of this world, and it has never been wrong in all these years!

At the same time, all the great powers in this world, whether they are free spirits who do not care about worldly fame or those who care about the eyes of the world, will inevitably leave their own traces in the long history; the breakthrough of a True Monarch determines this.

The Great Dao is limited; to comprehend the Great Dao and replace the heart of heaven with one's own heart, one will face countless peers walking on the same path, and only the one who fights to the end can truly break through.

Of course, these are the breakthrough methods for ordinary living beings; the Dragon race is somewhat special, only needing to purify their Dragon Blood and walk the path of a flood dragon becoming a dragon.

However, this deepest secret regarding the Dragon race is naturally not something that those humans or ordinary races can understand, and the reason Baichuan can know these things is because he possesses the unique Ability Panel, thereby obtaining the Dragon race model and evolving Dragon Blood himself.

In the eyes of the world, breaking through to True Monarch requires fighting, or following the Conferring Gods system, but the Conferring Gods system requires relying on the imperial court, and neither of these allows one to remain anonymous.

Under these circumstances, how could a True Dragon powerful enough to be invincible suddenly appear in this world?

It's not like the other party was born a dragon, or popped out of a rock, right? This is simply the height of absurdity, even more outrageous than his superior being able to kill the existence hiding behind the dynasty with a single glance.

Otherwise, to become a dragon, one would naturally need to walk the path of a flood dragon like the Dragon Lord, but the only successful flood dragon transformation in five hundred years is the current Great Long Dragon King, Ao Qing.

Therefore, without knowing the deeper secrets, Baichuan's subtle expression now gave the man with the faint smile a sense of confidence psychologically.

So, with his confidence overflowing, he spoke eloquently in front of everyone, analyzing and explaining his judgment and the details he saw one by one.

Good! Good!

Throughout the entire process, Baichuan listened with a subtle expression, nearly unable to hold back his laughter.

It must be said that this man's analysis was indeed well-founded, but his vision still limited him.

He, Baichuan, really was like someone who popped out of a rock, appearing abruptly in this world, though the explanation that he came across the border through a World Passage might be even more unbelievable.

In this regard, from what he has read in various legends, storybooks, and cultivation secret manuals, he knows that humans in the Dongfang Quyu of this world basically treat the existence of other worlds outside this one as something that, once mentioned, will earn one the look of a fool.

People in the Dongfang Quyu of this era are ignorant and unenlightened; if you say you come from various blessed lands or secret realms, they might understand, but if you talk about worlds and even more distant things, they will not believe it.

But Baichuan knows that those powerhouses still have certain speculations in this regard, but for some unknown reason, even in the secret manuals they wrote in their lifetime, those powerhouses can only hint at it vaguely.

If others do not have this concept while reading, it is completely impossible to notice; if this situation happened only once or twice, Baichuan could treat it as himself overthinking.

But he has read all the secret manuals given by the Old Dragon, and every deeper secret manual has hints in this regard, which is a bit intriguing.

This situation of not daring to explain or clarify things completely is as if some more powerful existence in this world has been suppressing and blocking information in this area.

After recalling the information he had learned before, Baichuan regained his focus and looked at the man who was still babbling, as well as the crowd who were somewhat moved.

This farce should end.

May I ask, what method can directly make a person in a state of pride completely wither, or even despair?

Answer: that is to completely shatter the field in which they are most proud.

And now, what the man is most proud of is his deduction, but is his deduction correct?

Amidst his contemplation, Baichuan made a sudden decision.

The next moment, as Baichuan grew serious, an invisible sense of oppression began to slowly permeate the atmosphere, while tiny specks of pale red firelight began to slowly ignite.

"... So, I say this Pseudo-Dragon is... completely..." The man, who was spraying saliva everywhere while still recounting his analysis, suddenly felt an inexplicable oppression descend, just like an ordinary person in the wild who suddenly discovers they have been targeted by an ambush-ready tiger, and a sense of fear began to rise in his heart.

Accompanying the appearance of that inexplicable but terrifying oppression was a slightly sweltering temperature.

What, what is going on? This is the riverbed of the Liao He, a place that is the most yin-cold and filled with water vapor; how could a sweltering heat suddenly appear?

The man did not know, but the next moment he saw his colleagues around him, the supernaturally powerful Thunder God General and the Divine Soldier Corps, acting as if facing a great enemy, beginning to guard with grave expressions.

Subconsciously, seeing everyone around him acting this way, he also felt a bit panicked.

"All soldiers, heed the order! Gather Blood Qi, prepare for battle!"

In his panic, he turned to look, but just then, the Thunder God General let out an angry shout, which gave him a start.

At the same time, he also saw that Master Mo abruptly soar into the air and summon an invisible great seal.

In an instant, a giant blood-colored tiger reappeared, roaring at the mountains and rivers, turning a patch of the firmament into a world hanging with a red moon; the invisible great seal spun around, bringing forth a golden radiance that seemed almost tangible, and within the radiance, like a painting, it reflected scenes of countless fireworks and the images of ten thousand people praying and worshipping.

In this instant, the entire bottom of the Liao He completely transformed into two different worlds.

One was a massive blood-colored world, where the blood tiger lunged out, its fishy and violent killing intent rolling in; the other transformed into a prosperous age, crushing forward with the heavy weight of the prayers and wishes of ten thousand people.

Under the force of these two powers, the man's face turned deathly pale just from feeling a sliver of the residual power not even aimed at him, and he nearly fainted; from this, one can imagine how powerful these two forces were.

Yet, facing such powerful forces, Baichuan merely raised his eyes and gently released his own aura.

Accompanying the full release of his aura, the terrifying high temperature he had been brewing for who knows how many years also followed and was released.

In an instant, infinite light and heat Burst forth.

Like a small sun, it exploded at the bottom of the Liao He, the immeasurable river water was directly evaporated, turning into a massive void, and then the light wantonly poured out into the entire world, stirring the endless Spirit Qi in the void into a storm that connected heaven and earth.

Baichuan forgot to mention earlier that although his Spirit Qi cultivation base appears on the surface to be the thousand-year limit, that is merely the perception of everyone in this world that a thousand years of Spirit Qi cultivation is the limit for the Zhenren Realm; many people simply do not accumulate cultivation beyond a thousand years.

This is the limitation, the extreme, of the human body; to change it, one must reach a realm above the Zhenjun Realm to continue accumulating.

But Baichuan is different; after gaining insight into a small part of the essence of Spirit Qi, although he cannot yet break through to the Zhenjun Realm, he can continuously accumulate massive Spirit Qi cultivation, as his Blood Qi energy is incomparably abundant.

In other words, his true Spirit Qi cultivation at this moment is nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years!

This is the true limit he has currently reached!

And this Spirit Qi cultivation, along with his aura and the heat he had been brewing for who knows how long, poured out into this world for the first time.

At this moment, the entire world discovered the appearance of a second sun.

Amidst the terrifying Spirit Qi storm connecting heaven and earth, a brilliant and bright sun appeared upon the earth, for a time surpassing the Sun God Chariot of the Tian Gui Zhi Jie.

At this moment, countless experts and mysterious existences were awakened by the omen of two suns in the sky.

Fortunately, Baichuan still knew how to restrain himself; he only released it for less than a breath before retracting all his power.

Yet even so, it caused everyone standing near the Long Gong to be completely vaporized and disappear.

With this, everything vanished like smoke, and the bright sunlight at this moment shone through the massive void in the Liao He into the depths of the Long Gong.

At this moment, Jin Ming and the others, who had been protected by Baichuan, felt as if they had lived a lifetime.
