A Thousand Years of Immortal Dreams

Why are you so slow?

Shen Jingqiu reprimanded him with a tone of disappointment and frustration.

"How many days has it been? You've only reached the second level?"

"Not everyone is like you, a pervert!"

Cao Wang was deeply affected.

"That's right. I forgot that the spiritual energy concentration is much thinner over there, so it's understandable that your cultivation is slow. Moreover, the fourth level of the Beast Taming Heart Sutra can only be opened after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage. It's too early for you now."

Shen Jingqiu accepted Cao Wang's mediocrity.

"By the way, what level have you reached in your cultivation?"

"Ninth level of Qi Refining!"

Cao Wang said with considerable pride.

"Hmm! This speed is not bad!"

It was rare for Shen Jingqiu to utter a word of praise for Cao Wang.

"And now I've also obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill, so I'm ready to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage at any time!"

"Ninth level of Qi Refining? Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment?"

Shen Jingqiu felt as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Aren't you going to push yourself to the extreme?"

"Extreme Realm? What's that?"

Cao Wang was completely dumbfounded.

Are the cultural differences really that big?

"The path of cultivation begins with refining one's Qi, transcending tribulations and ascending to immortality. Each realm is divided into nine levels, each step fraught with difficulty. But above these nine levels, there are three extreme realms, representing the three extremes of Heaven, Earth, and Man."

Commonly known as the tenth level of Qi Refining, the eleventh level of Qi Refining, and the twelfth level of Qi Refining.

"What?"

Cao Wang felt as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Above the ninth level of Qi Refining, you're telling me there are three more levels?"

"That's right!"

Shen Jingqiu nodded calmly.

"Cocoa..."

Cao Wang rambled on for a while, but couldn't get anything out of the box.

This is like someone telling you that there are three more years after university.

"But many people who reach the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining directly enter the Foundation Establishment stage, even those geniuses. If there were such a thing as the Three Extremes of Heaven, Earth and Man, they would know about it."

"Because once you reach that bottleneck, you'll naturally enter the Foundation Establishment stage!"

Shen Jingqiu smiled and said, "That is indeed the case for most people."

But the path of cultivation is like climbing to the summit.

After reaching the end, you think there's no way out, but there's actually another path leading to a higher level.

I think that's why this path was lost in your generation.

The main reason is what you mentioned about the cultural break caused by the burning of books during the period of barbarian rule.

Upon hearing this, Cao Wang immediately became excited: "So, if I master this ultimate technique, then in our era, I might be the only person to reach the tenth level of the Qi Refining stage, or even the eleventh or twelfth level?"

"That's right!"

"But……"

Cao Wang continued to ask, "How should one cultivate to the third level of the Extreme Realm?"

I have now reached the ninth level of the Qi Refining stage.

"I've already sensed a bottleneck. If I continue cultivating, my spiritual energy will be like a cup overflowing with water, constantly spilling out."

"so what?"

Shen Jingqiu guided her slowly.

"this……"

Cao Wang was speechless.

Shen Jingqiu continued to guide the discussion: "When the water is full, it overflows. How can we prevent it from overflowing?"

"Stop pouring water!"

Shen Jingqiu rolled her eyes: "Anything else?"

"besides……"

In Cao Wang's mind, he imagined a glass filled with water.

Water is still being poured in from above.

The overflowing water slowly flowed out along the side of the cup.

next moment.

Cao Wang's eyes lit up immediately: "I know, get a bigger cup!"

"right!"

Shen Jingqiu exclaimed in admiration, "You're absolutely right, but there's another way to put it: increase the space in the cup, widen its width, and raise its height. That way, it can hold more water!"

"What you said about changing the cup is correct in meaning, but a person is like that cup, so of course you can't change it. Therefore... only by constantly expanding the cup can you store more water, understand?"

Cao Wang nodded thoughtfully: "Spiritual energy is like water, and the dantian, meridians, limbs, and bones are the containers. Therefore, we need to continuously expand these containers, which are the dantian and meridians, right?"

"That's right! It's crystal clear!"

"How can we expand this?"

"In our current era, each sect has its own way of breaking through the limit."

Shen Jingqiu explained.

"And this isn't the only one."

Some exceptionally talented individuals can even find ways to break through to the limit without relying on methods provided by the sect.

Another point to note is that the methods provided by the sect can only allow you to break through to the tenth level of the Qi Refining stage, which is the Human Extreme Realm.

From now on, they will have to figure out the way for themselves.

Shen Jingqiu's words made Cao Wang feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

"Do you know anyone who has been able to break through to the Celestial Realm?"

Shen Jingqiu said, "The difficulty of the extreme realm varies at each level, with the Qi Refining stage being the lowest level."

In the Taichu Dao Court where I am currently located, all those who can enter the inner sect can break through to the Earthly Realm or above, and many can even reach the Heavenly Realm.

However, once you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, the difficulty increases, and the number of participants decreases significantly.

Once you reach the Purple Mansion stage, there are very few of them.

Beyond the Golden Core stage, those who can break through to the pinnacle of human achievement are even rarer, one in ten thousand.

Cao Wang finally understood; that is to say, the three extreme realms of the Qi Refining stage are the easiest to break through.

For Shen Jingqiu, it was also an easy task.

"I have a question."

Cao Wang tilted his head and asked.

What are the benefits of breaking through this limit?

Shen Jingqiu pondered for a moment, organized his thoughts, and said in simple and easy-to-understand language:

"Extreme conditions represent the foundation, just like building a house. The more solid the foundation, the greater the potential for future growth."

Cao Wang indicated that he understood and continued to ask, "So, compared to a Foundation Establishment cultivator who has broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, who is more powerful, the tenth level of Qi Refining, which is the pinnacle of human cultivation?"

Shen Jingqiu said, "They're pretty much the same."

Whether by the standards of your era or ours, reaching the pinnacle of human achievement is comparable to the Qi Refining stage.

Reaching the ultimate realm of the earth is comparable to the fifth level of the Qi Refining Foundation Establishment stage.

Reaching the pinnacle of the Heavenly Realm, comparable to a peak Foundation Establishment stage expert.

The difference in strength between these three realms is enough to allow you to leapfrog a major level.

If you reach the Heavenly Realm and then break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, then your strength will be enough to rival that of the Purple Mansion stage.

Of course, in your era, there is no Purple Mansion stage; you directly reach the Golden Core stage.

Therefore, it contains more water.

If you can break through from the Heavenly Realm to the Foundation Establishment stage.

"In your era, below the Golden Core stage, you were basically invincible."

Upon hearing this, Cao Wang was completely stunned.

A moment later, he urged, "Quickly, quickly, teach me how to break through to the extreme realm."

"So, which level of extreme power do you want to break through to?"

Without hesitation, Cao Wang replied, "Of course, it's the ultimate realm of heaven."

"If you want to reach this level, you'll have to figure out the way to break through the limits yourself."

Because the methods taught by the sect can at most help you reach the pinnacle of human potential.

Moreover, it will create a fixed framework, restricting your intellectual development and preventing you from breaking through to the ultimate realm.
