High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

Su Jie chuckled and didn't refute it. He would show Yue Wuji how tough he was.

"However, those are ultimately frogs in a well." Yue Wuji's tone shifted, his expression becoming serious. "The pond of Tianming Star is indeed too small for us. The real stage lies in the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Palace, behind those gates of light!"

He looked at Su Jie, his tone seductive: "My seclusion this time wasn't just for cultivation, but to explore a newly discovered instance world—the [True Martial Realm]!"

"True Martial Realm?" Su Jie's heart stirred; this name sounded more prestigious than Tianming Star.

"That is a world where martial arts civilization is far more prosperous than our Tianming Star! Its realm division is far more crude than our 'combat power value'."

Yue Wuji's eyes revealed longing and awe, "Our so-called 'tens of millions of combat power' is nothing more than a [Body Tempering Realm] martial artist in the True Martial World!"

Above that, there are other great realms such as the [Origin Realm] and the [Divine Treasury Realm], each possessing boundless and all-encompassing power!

Upon hearing this, Su Jie was not discouraged at all; instead, his eyes blazed with intense light! The ten realms of martial arts mentioned by the system truly exist! The path beyond body tempering is long and arduous!

"Body Tempering Realm...above!" He clenched his fist, feeling a long-lost excitement.

"That's right." Yue Wuji nodded. "In the True Martial Realm, even a cultivator who is only at the first level of the Origin Realm has already undergone a leap in their life level and controls 'Origin Power,' which is far superior to the blood and qi of the Body Tempering Realm."

"Oh?" Su Jie's interest was piqued. "How do I get there?"

"The teleportation entrance to the True Martial Realm is behind the light gate of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Palace, but that light gate requires a martial artist to reach a basic combat power of tens of millions to trigger."

Yue Wuji explained, "I had just reached the threshold before, so I went in to explore and gained a lot, but I also almost suffered a great loss."

Seeing Su Jie's eager expression, Yue Wuji added seriously:

"Our Tianming Star martial arts, at most, have only developed for a thousand years, relying on the basic inheritances passed down from the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Palace."

"As for the True Martial Realm, its martial arts have been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and its foundation is unfathomable. After you go there, try to keep a low profile as much as possible."

Upon hearing this, Su Jie grinned:

"Understood. Don't worry, Senior Yue."

He paused, his tone carrying an air of self-assured confidence:

"I'll observe the situation 'low-key' for now. As for how long I can keep a low profile... I don't know."

Yue Wuji looked at Su Jie with a hint of emotion and said, "There's something I must remind you. Our Tianming Star martial arts have developed for a thousand years based on the foundation and inheritance of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Palace. The path we've taken is actually quite different from that of the True Martial World."

He explained in detail: "The first major realm of the True Martial Realm, although it also involves tempering the body, has a more holistic cultivation method."

They divided the Body Tempering Realm into nine levels, each of which involves comprehensive and simultaneous tempering and enhancement of the physical body, blood and qi, bones, and meridians.

More importantly, the martial artists there begin strengthening their bodies at the age of twelve. After laying a certain foundation, they choose a body-strengthening technique to cultivate, progressing from the first level of the Body Tempering Realm to the ninth level, and then awakening their Martial Soul!

"And we," Yue Wuji pointed to himself and Su Jie, "the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Palace guides us on a more delicate, even more difficult, 'Path to the Extreme Realm'."

We subdivide the Body Tempering Realm into four stages: opening martial acupoints, condensing martial veins, tempering martial bones, and nurturing martial spirit. Ultimately, we perfectly fuse these stages, allowing quantitative changes to lead to qualitative leaps, culminating in the unique [Martial Arts Battle Body].

A hint of pride flashed in his eyes: "Like me, I was originally a level nine martial acupoint, nine martial veins, earth-rank martial bone, and level twelve soul power. In the end, I transformed and condensed into an earth-rank top-grade martial arts battle body."

Based on this, among the Body Tempering Realm martial artists in the True Martial World, I can be considered among the top-tier geniuses, no weaker than those who have awakened top-tier physiques.

He stared intently at Su Jie: "And you, Su Jie! You have reached the legendary 'Ten Meridians Extreme Realm,' and your foundation in martial acupoints, martial meridians, and martial bones far surpasses mine!"

This means that if you can successfully condense a martial arts battle body in the future, its rank will definitely be above mine, and its potential will be limitless!

If we succeed on this path, the martial arts battle body we forge will have greater potential than many physiques that rely on innate awakening!

Upon hearing this, Su Jie's eyes gleamed brightly. He immediately understood Yue Wuji's meaning.

The people of the True Martial Realm are like adding various armors to the frame of a car; their Body Tempering Realm is about learning how to better arm this car.

The people of Tianming Star seem to be building a car from scratch.

The process is more difficult, but if it can be built, the performance ceiling and adaptability of this car may far exceed many inherently good cars!

He possesses a system and follows the path of the strongest foundation. What kind of "car" will he create?

"I understand." Su Jie grinned, his confidence growing. "It seems that my foundation in 'handcrafted' techniques might give them a little 'masterpiece-making awe' over there."

Looking at his confident demeanor, Yue Wuji smiled and said, "That's exactly right! So, once you get there, there's no need to belittle yourself."

Our path may not be any worse than theirs! Of course, it's best to keep a low profile in the early stages, after all, your "vehicle" isn't fully built yet.

"Don't worry," Su Jie clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him, "Before the 'car' is finished, I'll show them what it means to have solid 'basic performance'!"

At this moment, Yue Wuji changed the subject, his tone becoming somewhat complicated:

"However, Su Jie, I've been thinking about a problem. Our cultivation method, which focuses so much on the foundation and the detailed steps, has too high a threshold and is too difficult."

Although the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Palace has been here for a thousand years, I, Tianmingxing, am the only one who has reached the first realm of perfection. I feel that this is more like a top-tier martial arts cultivation method used by the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Palace to select and cultivate truly top-notch prodigies?

He looked into the void, as if examining the entire Tianming Star Human Race: "Otherwise, it wouldn't have been for thousands of years, with countless martial artists of Tianming Star struggling in the first realm of martial arts."

Perhaps for the entire race, the cultivation method of the True Martial Realm, which is more holistic and universal, and relies on overall tempering to quickly form combat power, is the right solution.

While its potential may not reach the extremes of the Path of the Ultimate Realm, it excels in stability and widespread accessibility, allowing more people to embark on the path of martial arts and thus improving the overall strength of the human race. That might be the more suitable "right path" for our Celestial Star Human Race.

"Like me, although I'm considered top-tier among Body Tempering Realm martial artists in the True Martial World, I've cultivated for hundreds of years, yet I'm still only at the First Realm of Martial Arts!"
