Dragon's Origin

Chapter 790: Difficult Processing (Part 1)

"Normal?" A'Qi was stunned. How could this be normal? There hadn't been any breakthroughs for hundreds or thousands of years, and Wang Sheng's arrival had truly brought a major breakthrough. How could that be considered normal?

The grandmasters listening nearby also wore the same expressions. How could this be normal?

"Why did we think of using the Yuan Soul for cultivation back then?" Wang Sheng explained with a smile. "Someone must have intentionally or unintentionally touched the Yuan Soul, and gradually the concept of Yuan Soul cultivation emerged. Then, through the supplementation and refinement of generations of experts and masters, the current cultivation system was developed."

Everyone nodded. That was basically the process. Perhaps Wang Sheng simplified it a bit, but the general direction was correct.

"So, when people cultivate, they rely on observing the demon beasts around us and referencing the outside world," Wang Sheng continued. "At that time, people saw how strong the demon beasts they fought were, and they firmly believed that their Yuan Soul cultivation was just as strong."

A'Qi listened, feeling like she understood and didn't understand at the same time. A wisp of inspiration had jumped out, but she couldn't grasp it, which was very frustrating.

"The most powerful demon beasts that generations of cultivation experts have seen on land are at the Ninth Realm at most," Wang Sheng said with a smile, revealing what he believed to be the answer. "Therefore, people firmly believe that the peak that humans can reach in cultivation is the same as the peak realm of demon beasts, which is the original Legendary Realm, the peak of the Ninth Realm."

"Humans are actually the best at observing and learning from the outside world and from nature," Wang Sheng said, looking into A'Qi's eyes very seriously. "But sometimes, this kind of observation and learning has certain limitations, which is that it can only be limited to the framework they see, and they can't jump out of it for a while."

"The strongest demon beasts people have seen on land are at the Ninth Realm, so generations of experts have believed that the peak of cultivation is the peak of the Ninth Realm. Generations of experts have passed this concept on to their descendants, making them believe it as well, without any doubt," Wang Sheng said, seeing that A'Qi seemed to understand a little. He continued with a smile, "But, as you know, for many years before, many people had not really gone deep into the sea to see the demon beasts in the sea."

Including A'Qi, many people suddenly understood. Because people had only seen the strongest Ninth Realm demon beasts on land, they thought that the end of cultivation was the Ninth Realm. The sea was very dangerous, and those who tried to go deep had already died, with no more news spreading out. So people never knew that there were powerful demon beasts in the sea that surpassed the Ninth Realm.

In Lin Ling and Lin Xiu's era, they still thought that the Ninth Realm was the ultimate realm. Lin Ling and Lin Xiu were inspired by Wang Sheng to learn that there would be a higher realm above, but they didn't know what it was specifically like because they hadn't gone to sea. That's why Lin Ling built twenty-four valleys in the Thousand Serenity Ground, allowing the experts of various families to help Lin Xiu verify the future direction of cultivation without realizing it.

The super-powerful demon beasts in the Thousand Serenity Ground, such as Great Snow, who had surpassed the Ninth Realm, broke through under the stimulation of Lin Xiu's aura. Including Old Daoist Ling Xu, Uncle Li, Marquis Lu Wen, and Ling'er, who had already broken through before, their breakthroughs to the peak of the Ninth Realm were also related to the Thousand Serenity Ground. They had not actually gone deep into the sea before.

Zhu Xingsheng from Baoqing Remaining Hall may have taken a group of people deep into the sea, but it is estimated that they were lucky along the way and did not encounter super-powerful demon beasts. They certainly did not dare to easily go into the water. Not everyone had the courage to jump directly into the sea to observe hundreds of millions of Fifth and Sixth Realm sea fish like Wang Sheng and the old Daoist.

The grandmasters in the secret area of the Exquisite Pavilion were the same. If news hadn't come from the capital that someone had broken through the Ninth Realm and entered the Legendary Realm, they wouldn't have believed that the end of cultivation wasn't the Ninth Realm. Although they lived by the sea, they had not seen powerful sea demons either.

This is also why, apart from Old Daoist Ling Xu and a few others like Wang Sheng, others could only break through to the Legendary Realm with the help of the Grandmaster's performance. Deep down, they didn't have an unwavering belief in this natural phenomenon.

Old Daoist Ling Xu, Uncle Li, Marquis Lu Wen, and Ling'er before the Thirteenth Realm were only stimulated by the aura of the Thousand Serenity Ground, but the later Old Daoist Ling Xu and Wang Sheng had both personally witnessed the battle of Fourteenth Realm demon beasts, and they firmly believed from the bottom of their hearts that there were such powerful species in nature, so they could advance without any external help.

"This is also the principle I told the old Daoist before: man follows the earth, the earth follows the heavens, the heavens follow the Dao, and the Dao follows nature," Wang Sheng finally said, giving his summary. "No matter how many generations of predecessors have strengthened the concept that the Ninth Realm is the peak of cultivation, when you truly see extraordinary demon beasts, this shackle will break down on its own. A'Qi, you and I have been to the sea and seen those powerful demon beasts, right?"

A'Qi had completely understood, and the doubts in her heart had long since disappeared. She nodded like a chick pecking at rice. On Great Snow's back, she had not only seen them, but had almost been chased and killed. She had seen more than just one or two powerful demon beasts whose aura almost suffocated her. Since demon beasts have such powerful things that transcend common sense, why can't human cultivation?

"The Dao follows nature! The Dao follows nature!" A'Qi was about to speak when she suddenly saw Wang Sheng making a shushing gesture. Surprised, A'Qi saw several grandmasters over there muttering the words "The Dao follows nature," and it was obvious that they had fallen into a kind of enlightenment.

The grandmasters muttered, with expressions on their faces that seemed very happy and as if they had seen through everything. In less than half an incense stick of time, a powerful aura appeared on one of the grandmasters. A vortex of spiritual energy instantly formed in the sky, frantically gathering in this direction.

That's not all. Just as that grandmaster triggered the tempering of his body with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, another one next to him instantly entered the same state. With the first one, there was a second one. In less than twenty minutes, a total of four people were driven by the first one to enter the advancement state together, forming a large spiritual energy group.

Five people, without listening to the Grandmaster's performance, in front of Wang Sheng and A'Qi, in front of several other grandmasters, collectively entered the advancement state, jointly forming a large spiritual energy group.

Such a big commotion alarmed the entire island, and countless people gathered here. They all knew that they couldn't disturb the advancement, so no one made any big moves. After gathering around, they first watched the ceremony quietly, waiting for the advancement to be completed before doing anything else.

Just when everyone was both envious and puzzled, A'Qi next to Wang Sheng seemed very fascinated, and a natural aura emanated from her body, easily joining the advancement army, and the large spiritual energy group became a bit larger.
