"During the ancient era, the Qingyang Realm once nurtured formidable beings like ninth-order True Immortals.
However, in the present day, the Qingyang Realm has become as small as a speck of dust, capable only of supporting the birth of sixth-order beings, with no higher realms possible.
Now that you have reached the peak of the fifth order and wish to break free to ascend to the sixth order and leave the Qingyang Realm, it is indeed a wise decision.
The boundless and vast No Immortal Realm is rumored to harbor secrets to ascending to immortality. You might find opportunities there, and once you break the limit of the sixth order, you will be able to cross the stars and seas with your physical body, making your star body perfect and flawless!
Lu Qingyang spoke these words earnestly.
He fought and killed star beasts in the galaxy with his avatar, aiming to explore the mysterious effects of star beast blood, thus granting Qingye this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
However, he has no intention of continuing to kill star beasts for Qingye to perfect his star body.
How can a flower in a greenhouse withstand the trials of wind, rain, and thunder?
Lu Qingyang has the strength to help Qingye advance to the sixth order and even enter the seventh order. However, even if he does, what deep significance does it hold?
Born in a greenhouse, a seventh-order being's future achievements are bound to be limited. Look at the heroes vying for supremacy in the No Immortal Realm; which emperor did not ascend to the throne by stepping over the corpses of countless prodigies and fighting bloodily to prove their path to immortality?
There has never been an emperor who achieved greatness by hiding in some corner and cultivating behind closed doors.
Precisely because he has high hopes for Qingye, Lu Qingyang encourages him to leave the protection of the Qingyang Realm, to seek true opportunities in the outside world.
After all,
With Qingye's potential, he might truly have the chance to aspire to the title of emperor in the future.
'Disciple will remember the lord's teachings!'
Qingye's expression remained calm. When he reached the peak of the fifth order, he had already sensed the constraints of the Qingyang Realm, where the spiritual energy was too sparse.
If he were to cultivate diligently here, at most, he could only reach the sixth order, and further progress would be almost impossible.
However,
There are exceptions to everything.
The current lord evidently is not comparable to an ordinary sixth-order being; his avatar alone can contend with a seventh-order early-stage star beast.
Qingye couldn't help but speculate secretly: has Lu Qingyang already broken through to the eighth order, or even reached the legendary ninth order?
Facing such a powerful figure, even though he had reached the peak of the fifth order, he still felt as insignificant as an ant.
Then,
Qingye respectfully bade farewell to Lu Qingyang and left the Ten Thousand Heavens Court for the first time.
As Qingye departed, Lu Qingyang began to strip the scales from the star beast, devouring the remaining flesh.
'Ding! Killed a seventh-order early-stage ferocious beast, gaining ten million cultivation points!'
The familiar prompt sounded, and Lu Qingyang glanced at his data panel.
He saw that his cultivation points had skyrocketed from zero to ten million points.
He was one step closer to gathering four billion evolution points and breaking through to the late sixth order.
Typically,
The cultivation points contained in a seventh-order early-stage ferocious beast should far exceed ten million points.
However, at this moment, the star beast's body was incomplete, its blood drained, and its essence exhausted.
The scales, comparable to seventh-order treasures, had been stripped away, leaving only flesh for consumption.
In this situation, gaining ten million cultivation points was already remarkable.
'Star beasts possess star bodies, so other beings soaking in their blood might acquire corresponding special physiques.'
'Since star beast blood can have such effects, perhaps the blood of other divine bodies might also have similar effects!'
Lu Qingyang thought of other special physiques. Given the miraculous effects of star beast blood, it is likely that other divine bodies' blood should also work.
However, in the history of the No Immortal Realm, he had never heard of anyone hunting divine bodies or holy bodies to nourish themselves with their blood.
Regarding this,
Lu Qingyang had his own hypothesis.
Either the blood of weaker divine bodies lacks sufficient power to bestow the corresponding divine body, or a single divine body is not enough to create another divine body, requiring multiple of the same divine body to form a new one.
Among these possibilities, Lu Qingyang leaned towards the latter.
For instance, the blood of a seventh-order early-stage star beast can only induce an incomplete star body. To achieve a complete star body, a vast amount of star beast blood is necessary.
In the historical records of the No Immortal Realm, each glorious era rarely sees divine bodies or holy bodies, and only one of each kind appears, never a second of the same kind.
It seems as if an unseen force dictates that the same divine or holy bodies shall never meet.
As for why not try merging various different divine bodies, Lu Qingyang speculated that there might be insurmountable conflicts between different divine bodies.
Of course, these are his conjectures that require verification.
With this in mind,
Lu Qingyang issued a task to the divine and holy bodies among his followers, asking them to offer a drop of their blood in exchange for ten thousand points of devotion.
Though this devotion is not much, a drop of blood means little to them.
After all, ordinary blood differs greatly from essence blood. Essence blood is the root of a cultivator, and losing even a trace requires a long time and great effort to recover.
But ordinary blood is insignificant.
Therefore, Lu Qingyang did not spend much time collecting the blood of all divine and holy bodies.
Then,
He concentrated, took out an ancient cauldron of the fifth order, and poured all the divine and holy blood into it.
As soon as the various bloods made contact, they stirred up strong ripples, as if each was resisting fusion, trying to devour the others.
Lu Qingyang observed the changes in the divine and holy blood within the cauldron until all the blood was completely consumed, confirming his hypothesis.
'The blood of divine and holy bodies is arrogant by nature, not allowing any blood to merge with it, instead instinctively trying to devour other blood.'
'Anyone who attempts to merge multiple divine and holy bloods will only face two outcomes: either their body explodes, or the divine and holy blood self-destructs, with no third possibility.'
'Qingye was able to acquire an incomplete star body not because his blood merged with the divine blood, but because his blood was devoured by the star beast's divine blood, thereby nurturing corresponding divine blood and granting a portion of the star divine body's power.'
'Next, it remains to see whether star beasts are unique. If the entire star beast species possesses star bodies, then cultivating star bodies might be feasible.'
'Otherwise, Qingye must find an alternative way to perfect his star body!'
At least for now, it seems that the same divine bodies never meet, and no two identical divine bodies will appear in the same era. But whether star beasts can break this rule, Lu Qingyang still does not know. Only by finding a second star beast can he uncover the answer."
