Chapter 184 Innate Realm

"I've met the sect leader."

"Zhong Lin is here."

Yu Jinglei slowly stood up with a smile on his face.

"How is it going? Is your cultivation stable?"

"Thank you for your concern, Master."

Zhong Lin nodded respectfully.

"You have just broken through to the Grandmaster level, there is no need to rush to come to me."

Zhong Lin remained silent and continued to stand there quietly.

Yu Jinglei shook his head and smiled, pointing to the stone bench in the pavilion.

"sit."

Zhong Lin didn't hesitate and sat down directly. A disciple had already brought him tea.

"Zhong Lin, your performance has far exceeded my expectations. I thought Yun Yi was the most talented disciple of our Jianding Sect. Now I think I was wrong. You are the sect's genius." Yu Jinglei let out a long sigh full of emotion.

"Master, you are too kind. May I ask, Master, is there any realm above Grandmaster?"

Zhong Lin was too lazy to continue flattering Yu Jinglei and started asking directly.

Yu Jinglei was stunned for a moment, an indescribable strangeness in his eyes. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. He chuckled and said, "As expected, every warrior will ask this question. I can tell you, yes, but also no."

Zhong Lin frowned slightly and looked at Yu Jinglei in confusion. Why did he say this so strangely? If it is there, it is there, and if it is not there, it is not there. What does it mean to have it and not have it?

Yu Jinglei hesitated for a moment and continued, "There are nine levels of martial arts. The lower three levels are for body forging, the middle three levels are for blood coagulation, and the upper three levels are for Qi refining. After that, one can open the bridge between heaven and earth and achieve the realm of Grandmaster. This is the realm of martial arts on this continent."

Zhong Lin suddenly raised his head and looked at the sect leader Yu Jinglei with burning eyes.

"This continent... Sect Master, are there other continents?"

Yu Jinglei looked at Zhong Lin in surprise and exclaimed, "Zhong Lin, you are indeed intelligent. It's true. Besides the continent we're on, there are supposedly vast expanses of space outside. Didn't you just ask if there are other realms above Grandmaster? I can only tell you that there aren't any on this continent, but in the outside world... there definitely are."

Yu Jinglei slowly stood up, looked up at the sky, and said in a deep voice: "My Jianding Sect has never lacked geniuses. Previous sect leaders have also raised questions and answers like yours. Some have even crossed the ocean, wanting to leave this continent and seek the pinnacle of martial arts."

"Did they succeed?"

Zhong Lin asked anxiously.

"do not know."

"do not know?"

"Yes, I don't know. Because those who went out never came back, no one knows whether they succeeded or failed. Maybe they really found another continent where martial arts are prevalent, or maybe they all perished on the way to sea. No one knows." Zhong Lin frowned. "Since no one has returned alive, then why did the Sect Master say that there are higher realms of martial arts out there?"

This statement is totally contradictory. Since no one has come back alive, how do we know that there are higher realms out there?

Yu Jinglei explained, "About three hundred years ago, a senior from the sect had lost hope of achieving a breakthrough and was nearing the end of his life. He decided to emulate the path of his predecessors and set out to sea in search of the martial arts path. Perhaps by chance, he found a deserted island. On the island, a figure had passed away in meditation. Next to the figure, a torn ancient book was found. It wasn't a martial arts manual, but a travelogue. From this ancient book, we learned that the figure's cultivation level in life had reached a realm above Grandmaster, known as the 'Spiritual Origin' realm."

“Spiritual essence…”

Zhong Lin kept chewing on these two words in his mouth, thinking about their meaning.

The names of each realm in martial arts practice are never chosen randomly, and they themselves represent the greatest differences and characteristics of this realm.

For example, the sixth-grade Qi and blood, and the third-grade internal breath, illustrate the power cultivated at this level.

"What we call the Grandmaster Realm is called the Innate Realm in the books."

Right.

The corner of Zhong Lin's mouth twitched. Just based on the word "innate", he was sure that there was absolutely nothing wrong with this book.

If it were an ordinary martial arts world, it would be no problem to break through the innate level and be called a master, but it is obviously not the case in this world. There are strange beasts and souls, which means that there are stronger combat forces above. Who dares to call himself a master without reaching the top? Are they looking for death?

Yu Jinglei sighed and said, "There are realms above Grandmaster, but to explore the higher paths of martial arts, one must travel far to Chongyang. The sea is different from land. Food, fresh water, storms, directions, and even sea beasts are all fraught with endless dangers. The sect has records of people who sailed a boat for only a thousand miles and were eaten by fish."

Zhong Lin's face was full of uncertainty. He possessed stronger martial arts skills, but was trapped in a cage. How could he be willing to accept this?
Yu Jinglei reached out and patted Zhong Lin on the shoulder, smiling and saying, "Zhong Lin, you are still young, don't worry, and there is more than one innate realm."

Zhong Lin took a deep breath to calm his inner shock, then bowed and said, "Please enlighten me, Sect Master."

"Strong people who have just entered the Xiantian realm will be able to sense the Xiantian true energy and discover the 360 Xiantian acupoints hidden in their bodies."

Zhong Lin raised his eyes slightly, and the more than 300 acupoints in his body suddenly began to stir.

These acupoints are not the acupoints that are opened when the meridians are opened in the Tongmai state, but the acupoints that appear when the boundary membrane of the body is broken. They are the bridge between the human body and the heaven and earth.

"There are a total of 360 Xiantian acupoints, which serve as the bridge between heaven and earth. Those who have just entered the Xiantian realm will have to open a different number of acupoints, depending on their aptitude and cultivation methods. Some may have one or two, while others may have more than ten. I don't need to explain their functions in detail. The more acupoints there are, the faster and more effectively one can absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth."

Zhong Lin's expression didn't change, but his heart was slightly moved. As his true Qi circulated, the thirty-six innate acupoints emitted faint light, connecting the true Qi with the heaven and earth for constant exchange and absorption.

Zhong Lin understood clearly that the reason why he was able to open up the thirty-six innate acupoints when he first entered the innate realm was probably because of the "Five Elements Hunyuan Gong". After all, this technique integrated the six Tianji techniques.

"When you first enter the innate realm, the first thing you need to do is to absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth, strengthen your innate true energy, and then nourish and open the acupoints. Break open these 360 innate acupoints one by one. Every time you open an acupoint, your connection with heaven and earth becomes closer, and your use of the vital energy of the weather becomes more powerful. Moreover, these innate acupoints can also store true energy like the dantian. Therefore, the more innate acupoints you open, the stronger your innate true energy will be." Yu Jinglei said with a smile.

"Master, if all 360 innate acupoints are opened, does that mean innate perfection?"

"Of course not. Breaking through all the acupoints is only the middle stage of the innate realm. What we need to do next is to integrate all 360 innate acupoints. At that time, the innate power that can be exerted will be increased several times."
