"We will start by teaching you the cultivation technique known as
"Now, I will transmit the technique to you. Due to your low cultivation level, I can only transmit the first seven levels of the technique, which will allow you to cultivate up to the Nirvana stage. I will give you the remaining levels once you reach the Spiritual Sea level," Wen Tong said before placing the jade piece on Jian Ning's forehead.
Suddenly, a vast amount of information flooded into Jian Ning's mind, like a tsunami sweeping over a coast.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for learning a new cultivation technique
Ling asked.
'I accept.'
[Ding, due to your special body compatible with the technique, you can currently add energy to increase the speed of awakening your body.]
[Ding, due to your high cultivation base, the
[Ding, your W.E. gain has increased from 40 W.E./minute to 60 W.E./minute.]
Hearing Ling's voice, Jian Ning's eyes widened in shock.
'Just the initial stage of the second level doubled my cultivation speed,' Jian Ning thought, feeling an urge to check his status but quickly suppressing it to focus on his master, sensing that this would greatly benefit him in the future.
"Since you have just received the inheritance of the cultivation technique, your knowledge of the cultivation realms up to the Nirvana level should be good, although you haven't fully integrated all this knowledge yet. Therefore, I will explain the cultivation realms up to the Nascent Soul level and tell you the prerequisites for breaking through these levels. I might also tell you about the realms beyond them," Wen Tong declared with a nonchalant smile, which made Jian Ning's eyes shine intensely. Even though he had received a quick explanation of the cultivation levels from his brother, Jian Ning did not doubt that his master would provide a more in-depth explanation.
Although he has Ling, his breakthrough still depends on his talent and resources. In fact, the primary function of Ling is to absorb mysterious energy, currently called White Energy, and distribute it to enhance his various techniques, talent, and even culture. It also allows him to ask questions at a certain price.
To enhance martial techniques, W.E. serves as an aid for Ling to put Jian Ning in a state of semi-enlightenment. Fundamentally, if his talent was insufficient, even spending an infinite amount of W.E. would not progress a technique.
This is also true for cultivation. For example, if a prerequisite for breaking through to a great realm is not met, it is impossible for him to break through.
"We will first start with the Tempering Body realm. Although you have already surpassed it, it remains a good foundation for your understanding of martial arts. This realm mainly serves as a base, although it is not very important for the future, especially for people with special physiques, but..."
"While the Tempering Body realm focuses on increasing physical strength, the Qi Gathering realm aims to enhance the control of the body and cells to unleash more power, although physical form continues to improve thanks to Spiritual Qi..."
"Next is the Innate realm. This realm is also called the true beginning of cultivation. Some children of powerful people start directly with this power at birth. At this level, one can start using spirit stones to increase cultivation, and it is also the time when one can begin using Earth-rank martial techniques, as one can finally release Qi outside the body to fight, unlike the gaseous state of Qi Gathering cultivators."
"To break through to the Spiritual Sea realm, one must open the spiritual sense and understand at least a first-rank artistic conception. In this realm, cultivators can finally start levitating above the ground. In this realm, one opens the spiritual realm, allowing inspection of the body's interior."
"The next realm is the Purple Mansion. In this realm, practitioners open their inner house at their middle dantian, located at the solar plexus. To enter this realm, the practitioner must use their purple spiritual sea, bring it to their middle dantian, and start shaping their inner house, hence the name Purple Mansion. Cultivators of this realm can already fly at altitudes of more than 10 meters above the ground. Although there are no major prerequisites for breaking through this realm, it is better to perfect the spiritual sea, as it is important for the future of your cultivation path. After reaching the peak of this stage, the only way to increase your strength without breaking through will be to expand your spiritual sea."
"The Spiritual Palace realm is extremely important for the continuation of your cultivation journey. The threshold for breaking through to this realm is a fourth-rank artistic conception and a spiritual sea width greater than one zhang. Of course, as a disciple of this sect, I will not let you break through unless you understand at least a seventh-rank artistic conception and have a spiritual sea width of 100 zhang." Wen Tong paused. In fact, he wanted Jian Ning to break through this realm after understanding a nine-rank artistic conception, but he could not ask too much, as it might delay his cultivation too much, and he preferred not to take that risk.
"In the Spiritual Palace realm, the power of cultivators makes a major leap, as one can learn an innate spiritual technique. These techniques differ from person to person, but their power is ranked in several levels: red for the weakest, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, and gold, which can only be attained after breaking through the realm with a spiritual sea width of more than 300 zhang and understanding a spiritual essence. Those who achieve this level are called the saints of the world and are the pinnacle of the young generation. There is also the black rank, which remains a legend, and no one knows how to obtain it. The only recorded person in history to have attained it is the legend who existed tens of millions of years ago, the Emperor of the Nine Heavens."
"According to my knowledge, on this continent, the best young person has only achieved a yellow-rank innate skill, while in the central continent, only one person has achieved a green-rank innate skill."
"The next realm is the Golden Core level. In this realm, the practitioner must cultivate their golden core, located where the heart is. Breaking through this realm is very dangerous, as it requires destroying one's own heart before creating a golden core..."
"The next realm is the Nirvana level, which involves self-destruction, leaving only the Golden Core and a trace of spiritual sense. From this point on, unless your heart and soul are destroyed or the cultivator reaches the end of their life, they cannot die. One can also start using king-rank martial techniques of all levels. To break through, one must..."
"Then comes the Nascent Soul level, which involves nourishing the soul with spiritual Qi. At this level, one can use star-rank martial techniques, although this depends on talent. To break through, one must... the realm is subdivided into..."
After finishing, Wen Tong took a small pause.
"What I just told you is mainly for supreme geniuses, as the number of people who can comprehend a law at the Nirvana level can be counted on one hand in the entire world " Wen Tong said simply, as if to diminish Jian Ning's potential arrogance.
Although Wen Tong internally wished for Jian Ning to be such a supreme genius, he did not want to put too much pressure on him, as it could potentially give rise to a heart demon.
"Well, let's finish discussing the cultivation realms for now and move on to the next topic. The realm that comes after the Nascent Soul level is the Elementary Spiritual realm. In this realm, you use your soul to better connect with the law. To break through, you must at least understand a law glyph and materialize it on your soul. In this realm, your speed of understanding and materializing law glyphs is multiplied."
"Although I have talked about the cultivation realms, they are still far from you. You should also know that in the Elementary Spiritual realm, one can live up to 10,000 years," Wen Tong said without pause, although he knew in his heart that true geniuses break through this realm much earlier. For 10,000 years is the maximum lifespan of such a powerhouse who has reached the highest level and taken a half-step into the next great realm.
"Let's continue with some diverse and important information. Tomorrow, I will teach you the geography of this world. So, let's begin with the realms of comprehension..."
