Chapter 108 Magical Techniques and Supernatural Powers, Above All Prodigies!

Upon hearing Lu Heng's reply, the remnant soul fell silent.

For some reason, Lu Heng had a feeling that the remnant soul was not like a powerful cultivator who could sleep for thousands of years.

In terms of temperament, he doesn't have that old monster vibe at all.

Perhaps he spent most of his time cultivating before falling into a deep sleep?

After only a moment of doubt, Lu Heng stopped thinking about it.

He then looked at the basic Qi cultivation method he had just received.

The Basic Qi Refining Method actually shares many similarities with the Basic Body Refining Method.

However, compared to the "Basic Body Refining Method," which is hailed as the only technique in the Body Refining Secret Realm, it is still inferior in many aspects.

Of course, that's not important.

Lu Heng only needed to consider obtaining the cultivation technique; everything else could be left to the characteristics of the technique.

My extraordinary wisdom tells me that I should use my extraordinary talent.

He closed his eyes and observed through the unique perspective granted by his mastery of both cultivation techniques and swordsmanship.

Not long after, Lu Heng let out a soft breath, his handsome face expressionless.

"Failed?" The remnant soul, observing from the shadows, immediately thought.

But before the remnant soul could ask any questions...

Lu Heng spoke first.

"Senior, I have a question—"

Is it possible for a cultivator to achieve a breakthrough without breaking through to the next level?

This allows you to acquire the skills needed for the next stage in advance.

What I mean is—

Is it possible for a cultivator in the Body Refining Realm to possess the strength of a cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm without relying on secret techniques, divine weapons, or innate supernatural abilities, solely through their own abilities?

"It's not impossible, but even for the true chosen ones, there's no need for it." This time, he didn't remain silent and answered directly.

Without waiting for Lu Heng to ask why, the remnant soul continued to explain.

"In the Body Refinement Secret Realm, even for the true prodigies, the golden time for breakthrough is only before the age of 16."

With four years, a true cultivation prodigy could indeed advance their own three techniques to a level comparable to the second tier without breaking through to the next level.

But that's meaningless. Some talented cultivators have spent time trying it, and it's useful, but not much.

This is different from the Qi Refining Realm, which truly requires reflection and determines one's path.

A true cultivation prodigy who chooses to break through directly can possess the power to be invincible among those of the same level, or even to fight against those of higher levels, in the Qi Refining Secret Realm.

Staying at the already perfected Body Refinement Secret Realm is merely putting the cart before the horse.

With that much time, a cultivation prodigy could reach the pinnacle in the Qi Refining Secret Realm.

Only when one reaches the Qi Refining Secret Realm, even if one has already reached perfection, does one need to, and cannot, rush to break through.

"Young man, do you know why this is?" the remnant soul asked one last time.

Lu Heng naturally shook his head. As a member of a branch of the Lu clan, he actually knew very little about the Qi Refining Secret Realm.

This goes without saying that even the strongest elders of the Lu clan were only at the Refining Mystic Realm.

"Supernatural powers, or rather, acquired magical abilities."

In the Qi Refining Secret Realm, if one can elevate a technique to the point of breaking its limits, one can obtain a divine power.

The remnant soul had no intention of being a riddle teller.

"Senior, may I ask if the supernatural power you mentioned is the kind of innate supernatural power that is part of the Lu clan's bloodline?" Lu Heng directly voiced his question.

"Same yet different. A mere third-rate family struggles to even produce a top genius, except for a rare exception like you."

"What right do cultivators in the Qi Refining Secret Realm who aren't prodigies have to pursue magical techniques and supernatural abilities?" the remnant soul said calmly.

His words at this moment made no attempt to conceal his contempt for the Lu family.

"The Lu family, and all the bloodline families, whether in the East or the West, follow the same path."

They barely maintain their glory through the legacy of their ancestors.

But I dare say—

Of the so-called Refining God Elders of the Lu Clan, it is highly likely that none of them can truly awaken the family's bloodline supernatural powers.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have to share even this small piece of land in Qinghe City with two other powerful families.

.

Hearing this, Lu Heng could no longer hide his doubts and couldn't help but ask.

"Why is that? Possessing the bloodline and having blue eyes means possessing talent, or even a partial awakening of bloodline supernatural abilities, right?"

"Who told you that? How could you have such an absurd idea?"

What do you take supernatural powers for?

Are there cabbages that you can just pick up anywhere by the roadside?

If you think about it carefully, you should understand why supernatural powers can be called supernatural powers.

This is a bloodline that no scion of a noble family can awaken.

In fact, unless one cultivates the technique to perfection in the Qi Refining Secret Realm, it is impossible to achieve this.

Otherwise, the probability of awakening bloodline supernatural powers solely through so-called bloodline is zero.

Do you think it's possible that any of the Refinement Realm elders in the Lu clan possess a cultivation prodigy like yourself?

The remnant soul said with a hint of amusement.

"Uh." Lu Heng looked at his panel. No one was misleading him; he was just misled by the information on the panel.

With his panel and evolutionary talent, his semi-awakening means he will inevitably awaken his bloodline talent.

But for others, the difference between half-awakening and awakening of talent, though seemingly only a step apart, is like heaven and earth.

Too--

How could a talent that can be called a supernatural power, which is extraordinary and can only be mastered by true geniuses, be obtained by someone so easily?

Even those with the bloodline of aristocratic families receive a share as long as they break through to the Mystic Refining Realm.

"Speaking of which, do you know about 'Above the Heavenly Pride'?" Just then, the remnant soul suddenly asked again.

"I don't know, but could this be related to so-called magical arts?" Lu Heng immediately thought of the remnant soul and the magical arts he had just mentioned.

"That's right, there's another level above the genius."

They are called top geniuses.

Although they are still within the category of cultivation prodigies, they are the same as cultivation geniuses and top cultivation geniuses.

Being called top-tier means that in some aspects, it surpasses ordinary geniuses.

Magical arts and supernatural powers are part of it.

Lu Heng nodded to indicate that he understood, but couldn't help asking further questions.

"Senior, what about above the Heavenly Pride?"

"I'm including top-tier geniuses." Since the topic had already been brought up, Lu Heng casually asked a question that had been on his mind for some time.

"Above the Heavenly Pride?"

"It seems a bit too early for you to know all this now," the remnant soul pondered for a moment, but still said.

Above the prodigies, there is the peerless.

Those who are truly exceptional can fight even in secret realms!

"Refining Qi and severing the spirit—that is unparalleled!"

"Peerless?" Lu Heng fell silent for a moment, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Is this what is meant by being above all others, the so-called peerless genius?

It's just fighting someone of a higher level; I feel like I could do it too. That's all!
