Realizing This Is Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years
Chapter 18
21 Eternal and Mortal Realms
***
In Li Mingqiong's opinion, it was fine even if an ancient existence like Eternal Majesty did not understand their current world martial path.
A high-level Immortal martial technique controlled by the Immortal sect might not be much better than juggling a baby in front of a supreme existence like his Eternal Majesty.
Thus, as long as His Eternal Majesty comprehends some information about his world Immortal martial technique, he can deduce an appropriate profound method.
That is how something works when one is operating from a strategically advantageous position.
Thus, Li Mingqiong practically told Cui Heng everything he knew about his world martial arts, as well as everything he had learned.
Before this, Pei Qingshu had left the villa wisely.
The martial arts information Li Mingqiong wanted to talk about would definitely include the Imperial Family's martial arts. This was not something he could listen to.
What he is doing now is to show that he understands the rules.
At the same time, it also paved the way for him to search for Immortal spells.
He also did not want Li Mingqiong to hear about the martial arts of the Pei family.
...
Li Mingqiong respectfully explained the martial arts he knew.
Regardless of whether it was the common name of his territory or a special cultivation method, he told them everything in detail.
There are even some rumors that cannot be identified.
Among them, Cui Heng was most concerned about his world Martial Arts classification system.
And some concepts of cultivation.
According to Li Mingqiong, the Eternal Martial Techniques in his world were divided into 21 levels of the Eternal and Mortal realms.
There are 12 mortal realms:
Shape Refining, Internal Maintenance, Qi Sensing, Qi Accumulation, Tendon Transformation, Marrow Refining, Qi Condensation, Qi Transformation, Profound Gate, Xiantian, Inner World, Divine Treasure.
Under normal circumstances, it would take at least three to five years to cultivate into Qi Sensing, and it would take ten years of hard work to achieve Qi Accumulation. To be able to reach the Tendon Transformation realm before the age of 30 was enough for one to be considered an expert.
Li Mingqiong had stepped into the Marrow Refining realm at the age of nine. He could be said to be very talented.
The mighty figure of the Immortal sect once commented that he had the chance to step into the Xiantian realm before the age of 50.
Xiantian was the dividing line of the mortal world.
As long as one reached the Xiantian realm, one would be able to refine Xiantian True Qi, just like a fish leaping over a dragon gate. He would undergo a transformation and his strength would increase greatly.
As for the Inner World, it was said to be a cultivation deeper than the Xiantian realm, allowing Xiantian True Qi to grow relentlessly and never diminish.
Upon reaching the Grand Completion of the Inner World realm, it was said that one would be able to open up the treasures within his body and obtain all sorts of incredible magical powers.
This was the Divine Treasure realm, also known as the 'God Realm'.
Therefore, the God Realm was the end of the 12 realms of the Mortal world, and was also known as the boundary of the Mortal world. Martial artists who could reach this realm were often given various titles.
For example, the Perfect One, Heavenly Teacher, Priestess, etc. In some barbarian tribes, they were even revered as gods.
Above the Mortal Realm were the nine Eternal Realm realms.
However, the information about the nine realms was strictly controlled by the Immortal sect and almost never leaked out.
Even the method to become an Immortal was controlled by the Immortal sect. Only by obtaining the Immortal sect's permission could one become an Immortal.
As the most favored princess of the Imperial Family, Li Mingqiong only knew that the first realm of the Eternal World was called Immortal Man.
He did not even know what this world or what kind of cultivation level concept it was.
Higher than that, and the information is even more obscure.
Even so, Cui Heng felt that the benefits were quite abundant.
This was the first time he had come into contact with the cultivation path of the outside world.
The Immortal Martial Path was completely different from the Eternal Cultivation System!
However, as Li Mingqiong's cultivation level was limited, he could only explain the details of his cultivation before he reached the Marrow Refining realm. As for the Qi Transformation, the Profound Gate, and the realms after that, they blurred slightly.
Fortunately, he had an understanding of this realm and was able to explain some of the concepts and characteristics of cultivation.
However, the three Xiantian realms, the Inner World, and the Divine Treasure were somewhat mysterious. He even used words like "should".
This made it difficult for Cui Heng to compare this cultivation realm with the Eternal Cultivation System realm.
Based on the strength Li Mingqiong had displayed earlier, he could only temporarily believe that the Refining Realm form of the Mortal Realm was equivalent to a third level of Qi Refinement.
And after the Qi Condensation, compared to the Marrow Refining realm, one would receive an enormous increase in strength. Perhaps it could correspond to the Fourth Level of Qi Refinement, and so on. The Divine Treasure Realm corresponded to the Ninth level of Qi Refinement.
"The so-called Immortal Man is equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage?" Cui Heng guessed inwardly. “It is indeed possible. Compared to the Ninth Qi Refinement layer, the experts at the Foundation Establishment realm had indeed experienced a thorough increase in the level of life.
“As long as one breaks through to Foundation Establishment, whether it is spirit, body, strength, or age, everything will be very different from before. It is not impossible to be called an Immortal Human.
Li Mingqiong's desire to become an Immortal was also aimed at reaching the Human Immortal realm.
With regards to this, Cui Heng was very experienced.
Previously, by relying on Jiang Qiqi's incomplete sword technique, he had created a sword technique that allowed one to reach Foundation Establishment realm overnight.
Coupled with the martial arts techniques described by Li Mingqiong, it was extremely easy to create an "Eternal Martial Technique" that could be developed into the realm of Foundation Establishment.
However, Cui Heng did not explain directly. Instead, he smiled at Li Mingqiong and said, “Tomorrow morning, the Yellow-robed Strong Man will take you to the third floor. I'll teach you the Eternal Martial Technique that allows you to enter the Eternal Stage.
“Thank you Your Eternal Highness!” Li Mingqiong was overjoyed and he quickly thanked him.
"Call Pei Qingshu." Cui Heng waved his hand.
...
As expected of Cui Heng.
Pei Qingshu's thoughts were the same as Li Mingqiong's. He also wanted a technique that would allow him to become an Immortal.
For the sake of his family and himself, he wanted to escape the suppression of the Immortal sect.
Therefore, he told Cui Heng everything about the Pei Family martial arts skills and the martial arts information he knew.
As the eldest son of a powerful family, Pei Qingshu knew more about the Immortal sect and Immortal martial techniques than Li Mingqiong.
Li Mingqiong only knew about the nine realms of the Eternal World. However, he knew that there were Earth Gods and Heaven Gods above the Eternal Realm of Humans. He even said that a Heaven God could fly in the sky and dig into the ground, and be omnipotent.
But that's all. Pei Qingshu did not know what the next six realms were.
However, Pei Qingshu had a clearer understanding of the characteristics of the Qi Transformation Realm and the Profound Gate Realm. His descriptions of the Xiantian realm and the Inner World were also much more accurate.
Especially the description of the Xiantian Realm.
Once the Profound Gate was opened, there would be a resonance between the inside and outside. It would wash away all the Postnatal Qi within the body and turn into a Xiantian body.
A Xiantian expert could use his martial arts movements to control the power of nature.
It was very similar to the characteristics of the Seventh Level of Qi Refinement.
Thus, the Third Qi Refinement Layer and the Seventh Qi Refinement Layer could be matched to a suitable realm.
"Eternal Humans should be on par with Foundation Establishment cultivators." Cui Heng was convinced by his guess. "In that case, the Earth God should be on par with the Golden Core and the Heaven God with the Nascent Soul cultivators."
As for the description of how a Heavenly God could fly across the sky and dig through the earth, it was not within the scope of his consideration.
After all, a Seventh layer Qi Refinement cultivator could already fly.
He couldn't possibly think that the Eternal Heaven was only on par with a Seventh layer Qi Refinement Stage cultivator.
After Cui Heng let Pei Qingshu go, he thought hard again.
“Although the nature of this world sounds a bit silly, this is definitely a very dangerous Mortal world. With my current strength at the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm, it is not enough.
“Thank God, the cultivation concept of this Immortal martial technique gave me a little inspiration. I predict that I will be able to deduce the method to ignite the Real Fire Dao Foundation tonight!
"The gold is possible!"
...
Next morning.
The Yellow-robed Strong Man brought Pei Qingshu and Li Mingqiong into a room on the third floor.
They're confused.
Could it be that His Eternal Majesty wanted to cast an Immortal spell on the two of them at the same time?
But from the words of His Eternal Majesty yesterday, it seemed like he wanted to create an Immortal martial technique that was suitable for the two of them.
What the hell is going on?
“Just be quiet.” Cui Heng noticed their confusion, and he said with a smile, "I'll impart the Immortal cultivation technique to you with the Heart Imprint technique."
"Heartprints?"
"What is a Heart Trail?"
Pei Qingshu and Li Mingqiong had never heard of it before.
But the next moment, they knew.
Cui Heng circulated his Dharmic power and instantly condensed the information from the two Immortal cultivation techniques into two Heart Traces. They turned into golden rays and green rays, imprinting in the minds of Pei Qingshu and Li Mingqiong.
Both of them felt their vision go dark, and then they felt a ball of light appear in their minds.
As long as they concentrated on the ball of light, countless martial arts cultivation information would appear.
Although the cultivation information of this martial art was not entirely comparable to the 21 Mortal Realm and Eternal Realm, it illustrated Cui Heng's understanding and cultivation attainment after cultivating to the peak.
The technique allowed one to control the Qi to fly into the sky, into and out of the underworld, summon wind and rain, and turn the land into a river!
Li Mingqiong felt the picture in a green light and was filled with excitement. This was definitely a method for Immortal Ascension!
On the other hand, Pei Qingshu was extremely shocked and excited!
How is this just a method to become an Immortal? It was clearly a supreme heavenly book that pointed directly at the Eternal Heavenly Dao!
Fly across the sky with Qi, into and out of the underworld!
Calling the wind and calling the rain, turning the land into a river!
Only the legendary Sky God could do it!
