Not long after, countless stars disappeared from the night sky, and a faint white glow emerged on the horizon. In the span of a single night, time passed in the blink of an eye.
On the Emperor's Peak, in the Heavenly Palace, Xiao Yun, floating in mid-air, was enveloped in a golden light, making him appear like a bronze statue radiating brilliant golden rays.
Emperor Tian stared at Xiao Yun in astonishment, his face full of shock. "The golden radiance on your physical body is a sign of reaching the pinnacle of body refinement!" Beside him, Uncle Fu, who was still refining the bronze cauldron, paused for a moment upon hearing this and then exclaimed in disbelief, "Does this mean that Young Master has already established an unparalleled foundation and no longer needs to use Foundation-Building Elixir?" Emperor Tian nodded, his face filled with amazement. "Reaching nine levels in a day, such extraordinary talent! With the infusion of spiritual energy from heaven and earth and the power of stars refining his body, his physical body has already been pushed to the extreme of body refinement. There is no need for further tempering with Foundation-Building Elixir."
Uncle Fu couldn't help but look at the bronze cauldron in front of him with a frustrated expression and said, "So, was I wasting my time last night?" He had spent such a long time igniting the Three Flames True Fire for refining, only to find out it was all in vain.
Emperor Tian smiled faintly and said, "How can the Foundation-Building Elixir of later generations compare to the unparalleled foundation forged by the power of heaven and earth? With such a foundation, Xiao Yun's future is unimaginable!" Uncle Fu looked at the completed Foundation-Building Elixir in front of him and smiled wryly, "The heavenly treasures and earthly treasures in it were prepared by the Master over a hundred years, they are truly invaluable. Is it really being wasted like this?" "It's useless to keep it anyway!" Emperor Tian said indifferently. Then he turned his gaze and smiled, "I'll give it to you. Your lifespan is not long, so you might as well take on a disciple and accompany Xiao Yun."
Uncle Fu was moved by these words. Like Emperor Tian, he had reached the limit of his lifespan and had long planned to take on a disciple.
Practitioners are all the same. When they are about to die, they all want to take on a disciple, hoping to pass on their lifelong learnings, which is also a form of consolation.
"That's good!" Uncle Fu pondered for a moment and thought it would be a waste to discard the Foundation-Building Elixir. "Since the Chaos Sanctuary is opening to accept disciples, I will choose one from the newly recruited disciples!" Emperor Tian nodded.
Uncle Fu then left the Emperor's Peak riding on a cloud.
At this moment, Xiao Yun opened his eyes and looked at Uncle Fu leaving, couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master, why did Uncle Fu leave?" Emperor Tian looked at Xiao Yun with joy and smiled, "My disciple, you have only used one day to cultivate the Chaos Scripture to the ninth level, directly using the power of heaven and earth to reach the pinnacle of body refinement. Naturally, you no longer need these Foundation-Building Elixirs.
As for Uncle Fu, he thought it was a pity to discard these Foundation-Building Elixirs, so he planned to choose a disciple from the newly recruited disciples to inherit his lifelong learnings."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tian, Xiao Yun's master, smiled and said, "Disciple, although you have temporarily suppressed your cultivation, you can still practice some combat techniques and continue to explore the potential of your physical body, thereby surpassing the extreme and entering the forbidden territory."
"Surpass the extreme? Forbidden territory?" Xiao Yun was puzzled and asked with a confused expression, "Master, isn't the extreme of the physical training realm already the limit? Can it be surpassed? What is this forbidden territory?" Emperor Tian explained, "The strength of 100,000 catties is only the theoretical extreme of the physical training realm, achievable by super geniuses. However, some extraordinary individuals with special physiques can surpass this limit and reach 110,000 catties, 120,000 catties, or even higher, which is known as the forbidden territory."
Xiao Yun's face was filled with curiosity as he asked, "Master, in the history of cultivation, how much strength can one possess at the limit of the physical training realm?" Emperor Tian smiled and said, "100,000 catties at the extreme, doubling it becomes forbidden, nine doublings become divine. Our ancestor, the Great Emperor of Chaos, once reached a strength of one million catties in the physical training realm and entered the realm of the divine forbidden, a realm that only 'gods' can step into."
Xiao Yun was speechless. So, it turned out that the limit of the physical training realm could reach one million catties of strength. He had only achieved one-tenth of that, still far from the pinnacle.
However, he didn't know that ordinary people could enter the Qi Gathering realm with a strength of seventy to eighty thousand catties. Only some super geniuses reached the extreme of one hundred thousand catties.
Only those extraordinary individuals with special physiques could glimpse into the forbidden territory.
Moreover, the physical training realm was ultimately the first realm of cultivators, and no one wanted to waste too much time in this realm.
However, now that Xiao Yun knew this, he was determined to reach the pinnacle of the physical training realm. He looked at Emperor Tian with a resolute expression and said, "Master, if the ancestor of the Chaos Sect could achieve it, then I can too. But how can I continue to increase my strength?" Emperor Tian smiled, satisfied with Xiao Yun's ambition. Although he didn't believe Xiao Yun could reach the level of the Great Emperor of Chaos, surpassing the extreme should not be a problem.
So, Emperor Tian smiled and said, "To continue increasing your physical strength, relying solely on cultivation techniques is not enough. This is already the extreme. Only through practicing combat techniques can you continue to tap into your own potential. Moreover, your current strength is still just strength. Only through combat techniques can you convert your strength into battle skills."
