Chapter 220

"The martial Dao has twelve realms—one realm, one layer of heaven."

"Reaching the Great Grandmaster Realm is a watershed."

"If you wish to break through to the Peerless Realm, you must comprehend your own martial Dao path!"

"Or, based on techniques created by predecessors, walk your own path and comprehend 'momentum.'"

"Once you fully master and integrate that momentum, the embryonic form of a domain will take shape."

"At that point, as long as you convert all your true Qi into true essence, you can break through to the Earthly Immortal Realm!"

"And the Heavenly Being Realm is yet another watershed."

"If you wish to break through the shackles of the Earthly Immortal Realm and reach the Heavenly Being Realm—"

"Beyond powerful willpower, you also need incomparably high comprehension!"

"Because between the Heavenly Being Realm and an Earthly Immortal lies an insurmountable gulf!"

"The former borrows the power of heaven and earth; the latter relies on one's own strength."

"The gap between these two needs no further explanation from me—you surely understand it yourselves!"

At this point.

Ximen Wudi paused.

He cast a covert glance at the five.

Seeing that they all wore thoughtful expressions.

He nodded in some satisfaction and continued.

"And to break through to the supreme Mythical Realm, one must master the power of heaven and earth."

"This power of heaven and earth will extend forth according to the path you yourself walk!"

"Take the Seven Dragon Heads, for instance—what he comprehended was yin and yang, so when he breaks through to the supreme Mythical Realm, he will surely master the power of yin and yang!"

"However, the most crucial point is that to break through to the Shattered Realm, mastering only a single power of heaven and earth is absolutely impossible!"

"You need at least two, and preferably ones that complement each other—such as yin and yang, life and death, and so on!"

"And this is also one of the reasons why, over the past thousand years, countless prodigiously brilliant geniuses have halted at the peak of the Mythical Realm!"

"Of course, where there is loss, there is gain!"

"Although breaking through to the Shattered Realm is difficult, the terror of this realm is beyond what the Mythical Realm can compare to!"

"Once you reach the Shattered Realm, within a small range you can hold the Mandate of Heaven—speak and the law follows! Three thousand powers of heaven and earth shall empower your body!"

"My word is Heaven's word; my heart is Heaven's heart!"

"In other words, within this small heaven and earth, you are an immortal! You are a god!!"

Hearing these words.

The five were greatly shocked.

They silently drew in a breath of cold air.

On their faces, beyond astonishment, there was endless horror!

They then fell silent one after another.

In their pupils, a trace of relief welled up in unison.

Fortunately.

Fortunately they had joined the Qinglong Society.

Otherwise.

In the future, pursuing a higher martial Dao path would likely have been difficult!

"Then what if one only masters a single power of heaven and earth? Is the martial Dao path cut off?"

Li Taibai pressed on with another question.

His complexion, due to the shock in his heart, had long failed to return to calm!

"Not at all!"

"It's just that, in that case, the difficulty of breaking through to the Shattered Realm will increase a hundred—or thousandfold!"

"It is no exaggeration to say that one in hundreds of millions is perhaps the best description!"

Ximen Wudi shook his head and explained lightly.

This was also one of the reasons he had recruited them as Dragon Heads of the Qinglong Society.

It was not that he didn't want to cultivate them himself.

Mainly, those who could cultivate to the Shattered Realm—

Each and every one of them possessed a talent virtually impossible to find in the world.

Trying to cultivate them oneself would be no different from a fantasy.

And recruiting them to join the Qinglong Society—

Perhaps in the early stage, their cultivation would not be too high!

But given time.

Each one, taken individually, would be enough to overwhelm the Nine Provinces.

Crushing ninety-nine point nine-nine percent of people!

"So that's how it is."

"Many thanks to the Great Dragon Head for resolving our doubts!"

Li Taibai and the five were suddenly enlightened.

They bowed respectfully and performed a salute.

"It's nothing."

Ximen Wudi waved his hand with effortless calm.

Then, as if sensing something, he paused.

He lifted his gaze toward the pavilion interior.

A single word surfaced unconsciously in his mind.

Accumulate thickly, strike thinly!!!

124—Nine Provinces Combat Power Ceiling List—Rank 40! (Request self-subscription)

That's right!

It's precisely Accumulate thickly, strike thinly!

He could clearly feel it.

At this moment, Zhang Sanfeng's cultivation had reached late-stage Heavenly Being!

And how much time had passed since his breakthrough into the Heavenly Being Realm?

Yet, aside from the fact that he had long been stuck at peak Immortal Realm,

the Dao's reward and the rubbings of the Laozi's Five Thousand Words had given him considerable aid.

Otherwise,

he could never have broken through two realms consecutively in such a short time.

From early-stage Heavenly Being, he had leapt straight to late-stage Heavenly Being!

"Old Taoist greets the Great Dragon Head, and all of you."

Soon after,

as the celestial phenomena faded,

Zhang Sanfeng slowly stepped out from within the room.

His face bore an uncontainable smile.

"No need for formalities."

"How have you grasped the Yin-Yang Dao?"

Ximen Wudi waved his hand with serene composure, his tone neither joyful nor sorrowful.

The moment he spoke,

Li Taibai and the others beside him immediately turned their gazes toward him.

Deep in their eyes, a spark of eager anticipation surfaced.

Clearly,

they were deeply curious about Zhang Sanfeng's Yin-Yang Dao.
