The Divine Dao Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 1091
"Senior, there's a prerequisite for how many stars can be surpassed." Ling Han thought for a moment, before continuing, "Take me, for example. If I meet someone who is nine stars above me. Call them Person A. Person A had yet to practice any techniques to defend against the attacks of the heavenly senses. So, if I use the Seven Soul Subduing Kill Technique to attack Person A and suppress their battle prowess, my chances of defeating them are at least 50%.
“In such a case, I would have the ability to surpass nine stars.
“However, if I meet others — just call them People B — and their battle prowess is only eight stars above me, it is still very likely that I will lose if they are someone who has practiced techniques to defend themselves from the attacks of heavenly sense .
"In such a case, I wouldn't even have the ability to surpass eight stars.
“However, if Person B had not done the heavenly sense attack, they would naturally not be able to defeat Person A. This leads to a strange cycle — I can beat Person A, Person A can beat Person B, and Person B can beat me. Therefore, I really do not know how to judge my battle prowess. "
Old Man Xu laughed out loud, and said, “Alright, very good! You can already consider such a scenario. Just like how the Shattering Void Tier was determined by strength, Immortal-level battle prowess was also built on strength. After all, power is absolute fundamental.
“When talking about stars that transcend genius, strength is the measure used, not fighting prowess.
“Of course, having more power does not always guarantee victory. Nothing surprising about this. So, when talking about a star that transcends genius, we only measure one's battle prowess from the perspective of their strength. After all, power was the most important attribute.
"Without power, everything is useless."
Ling Han nodded in agreement. If two people had the same strength, yet they practiced different secret techniques from different powers, it was natural that there would be a significant difference in their strength.
It has nothing to do with whether one is a genius or not, nor does it have anything to do with how much effort one puts in. Rather, it had something to do with the secret techniques and cultivation techniques practiced.
With this size, Ling Han was a five-star genius. However, this is not the limit. He noticed that his strength was still growing at a rate that exceeded his cultivation level, and it was possible that it had reached six stars.
"When you are at the Shattering Void Tier, you reach a strength of 20 stars," Old Man Xu said. “This means that you reached the level of perfection in the previous level. Otherwise, there was no way you could reach 20 Stars of the Shattering Void Tier. However, if you cultivate to a peak level of the perfect Mountain River Tier like this, your strength will only be able to surpass at most six stars. "
Six stars — is this not impressive enough?
Five-star geniuses only existed in legends. In fact, it was possible that those legendary geniuses relied on secret techniques, and were unable to reach such heights with their own abilities.
"Heh, son, the nature of the vast universe is beyond your wildest imagination! In the Eternal Realm, miracles were nothing rare! "Old Brother Xu shook his head, and continued," When I was young, I once traveled far and wide, and witnessed countless miracles. Only then did I realize that I had been watching the sky from a well. ”
Ling Han nodded, and said, "Please give me some enlightenment, Senior!"
A satisfied smile appeared on Old Man Xu's face. This young man was neither arrogant nor impatient. No wonder his cultivation was so fast and incredible. A look of reminiscence flashed across his face, and it was a long time before he said, "The cultivation limit should be 10 stars!"
Pu's!
Ling Han almost choked. A five-star genius was already a legend, yet he was told that his limit was actually 10 stars? Moreover, the 10 stars Old Man Xu spoke of were obviously only in terms of strength, and not the result of practicing a secret technique.
Is this possible? 10 stars?
He was already quite strange, having cultivated each level of his cultivation to a perfect condition. However, just as Old Man Xu had said, he could only reach at most six stars. It's just a little over half to 10 stars.
"If you want to challenge a main-level cultivator above you, then you must be a 10-star genius!" Old Man Xu spoke unhurriedly, and continued, "This is an abyss that even nine-star geniuses can only look at. Even if you are a nine-star genius at the peak stage of the perfect level of the Mountain River Tier, You can only lower your head before those at the extreme low initial stage of the Sun Moon Tier. "
Ling Han could not help but feel excited with excitement. He had never heard of a Mountain River Tier cultivator defeating a Sun Moon Tier cultivator before. However, if he could become a 10-star genius, he would be able to make the impossible possible.
Of course, this came with a condition — one must be at the peak stage of the Mountain River Tier peak level, and their opponent must be at the lowest end of the Sun Moon Tier. Otherwise, it would be useless even if one were a 10-star genius.
Isn't this an impossible task?
Old Man Xu laughed out loud, and said, "Young man, have a little patience." He stood up, and said, "Follow this old man for a walk."
The two of them entered the dense forest by the lake again, and Old Man Xu said, "What is called the perfect level of the Mountain River Tier!"
Ling Han was immediately shocked. "Not a perfect level?"
"The true peak of the Mountain River Tier is five Mountains and Rivers, not four!" Old Man Xu finally revealed an astonishing secret.
Ling Han's mouth gaped in shock.
It was a publicly recognized fact that the Mountain River Tier had four small tiers. Everyone was cultivating according to this paradigm, and they would begin to form the Sun and Moon after cultivating the four Mountains and Rivers. In other words, they would begin their breakthrough to the next level of cultivation.
However, at that moment, he was told that one could actually form five Mountains and Rivers!
Then is it possible to form six, or even seven, Mountains and Rivers?
"Heh, five is the original peak of the Mountain River Tier. It is impossible to form any more Mountains and Rivers! "Older Xu shook his head, and continued," This was equivalent to advancing an extra small level, and it was the only way to become a 10-star genius! "
Ling Han was confused again, and he asked, "Then isn't there a void between six stars and 10 stars?"
Where did all the geniuses of seven, eight, and nine stars go?
Old Man Xu laughed loudly, and said, “Do you think someone will definitely reach the peak after forming the five Mountains and River? Some were only able to form mountains, while others were able to form Mountains and Rivers, yet were unable to cultivate them perfectly. Thus, these people became geniuses of seven, eight, and nine stars. "
"So that's how it is."
Ling Han wavered for a moment before asking, “So, based on what you said, Senior, can the cultivators of the Sun Moon Tier also form five Suns and Moons? Can a Tier Heavenly Body cultivator also form five Heavenly Bodies? Then shouldn't there be 11 and 12-star geniuses? "
"Billiant question!" Old Man Xu chuckled, and said, "However, you've been one of the things."
He raised a finger, and said, "One can only maintain the strength of 10 stars if they reach the true peak of each cultivation level. Otherwise, one's strength would fall if they failed to reach the peak for one level of cultivation. In such a case, they would be geniuses of nine, eight, or seven stars. "
Ling Han nodded in understanding. So, maintaining the strength of 10 stars was actually this difficult! One had to reach the true peak of every major level.
"Senior, have you ever seen a 10-star genius before?" Ask Ling Han.
A ferocious glint flashed past Old Man Xu's eyes, and even his face trembled slightly. He only regained his composure after a while, saying, “I've never seen him with my own eyes. However, I have heard of some incredible prodigies who are completely invincible in their own cultivation level. This incredible miracle was called a young king level cultivator. ”
Ling Han was astonished. Not only did such cultivators exist, but there were even some of them?
How is this possible? One must realize that it is necessary to receive blessings from heaven and earth should one wish to obtain the power of 20 Stars of the Destroyed Void Tier. Otherwise, one would only be able to reach 17 stars. The remaining three stars were on completely different levels.
Old Man Xu noticed his confusion. Smiling, he said, "Do you think it is difficult for the great elites in the Eternal Realm to send their clan members to the small world to open the heavens?"
