grown ups?

Lin Yun noticed this word in Zhenwu Shengjun's words.

What kind of status and strength does Zhenwu Saint Lord possess that would warrant such a title as "Master"? Could it be the number one saint of the Immortal Origin Holy Land?

Previously, the True Martial Saint King had also used the term "Master," but he added the name Li Er before it.

"I've heard that the Dao Ancestor Laozi's name is Li Er. He seems to be the first saint of the legendary Immortal Origin Holy Land. The 'Master' that Zhenwu Saint Lord spoke of might be him," Lin Yun thought to himself.

Thinking of the number one saint of the Immortal Origin Holy Land, Lin Yun also thought of the strength of the True Martial Saint King. It is said that the strength of the number one saint of the Immortal Origin Holy Land far surpasses that of other saints. In fact, other saints were only able to advance to the saint realm under his guidance.

If that's the case, then the True Martial Saint King's strength is already this great. Just how terrifying must the number one saint of the Immortal Origin Holy Land be?

"You guessed right, the 'lord' I'm referring to is none other than the number one sage of the Immortal Origin Holy Land, Lord Li Er, as everyone says." At this moment, True Martial Saint Lord smiled slightly and said.

Upon hearing Zhenwu Shengjun's words, Lin Yun was startled. Although he hadn't consciously restrained his thoughts, he had instinctively done so. Ordinary saints and powerful figures shouldn't be able to easily sense what he was thinking about.

Not to mention, he seemed to know a great deal about Zhenwu Shengjun's thoughts from his words.

It seems that the strength of this True Martial Saint King is even greater than he imagined.

"As some have speculated, Lord Li Er is actually the reincarnation of a powerful sage. He voluntarily reincarnated into this universe because he intended to find the reincarnation of a friend in this universe." After a pause, True Martial Saint King continued.

"Could it be that Lord Li Er's friend is related to the Heavenly Dao Tower?" Suddenly, Lin Yun had a flash of inspiration and blurted out the question.

He had long heard that the first saint of the Immortal Origin Holy Land was likely the reincarnation of a powerful saint. After hearing various legends about that first saint of the Immortal Origin Holy Land, he was also quite inclined to believe that this was the general consensus.

Therefore, Zhenwu Shengjun's affirmation only surprised him slightly, but he quickly accepted it. Then, he thought of the matter of the First Saint and the Heavenly Dao Tower, as well as the matter of the Heavenly Dao Tower mentioned by Zhenwu Shengjun, and couldn't help but think of this question.

"Indeed, the Heavenly Dao Tower was an important magic weapon of Lord Li Er's friend in his previous life. Lord Li Er's friend perished for some reason, and the Heavenly Dao Tower ended up in our universe. Lord Li Er had someone calculate that his friend's reincarnation was very likely to appear in this universe. Lord Li Er waited in the outside world for many years, but his friend's reincarnation never appeared, so he reincarnated into our universe to search for him. Because according to the power of the Great Laws, a powerhouse like him cannot directly enter an unopened universe like ours." True Martial Saint Lord nodded.

"An unopened universe?" Lin Yun was taken aback.

“Yes, our universe, which has not yet communicated with the outside world, is an unopened universe…” said True Martial Saint King.

He then explained to Lin Yun the differences between the world and the universe.

It turns out that universes are not the same as each other; they have different levels. Some universes are very powerful, while others are very weak.

These universes have one thing in common: they all have a nascent stage.

In the early stages of the universe, there were different levels, generally nine-level universes, eighteen-level universes, twenty-seven-level universes, thirty-six-level universes, and so on, multiples of nine.

The more universes that have a higher number of superheavens, the greater their potential and the stronger the beings they produce. Once opened, these beings will occupy a significant position in the entire world, that is, in the cosmic sea.

The Cosmic Sea is what powerful beings outside the world call their environment; it is an ocean-like existence composed of numerous universes.

It is said that the most powerful universes in the Cosmic Sea are the three universes with eighty-one heavens each, and each of them is famous throughout the entire Cosmic Sea.

In the nascent stage of the universe, powerful beings are needed to break through layer after layer of heavens until all the layers of heavens in the universe are broken, at which point the universe can be completely connected to the outside world.

Powerful beings from outside can also enter this universe. Although their strength is somewhat suppressed and cannot exceed the strongest power that this universe can contain, it still opens this universe to the eyes of countless powerful beings throughout the universe.

One improper operation can be very dangerous.

However, this is a necessary step for a universe to develop better, because every time a new level is broken, the universe will communicate with a certain energy in the cosmic sea, causing the universe to undergo tremendous evolution.

When the final layer of heaven was broken, the changes that occurred in this universe were also extremely significant.

At the same time, those who break through each new level of heaven will receive immense blessings from the universe. Breaking through the final level of heaven brings even greater blessings, a temptation that many find irresistible.

Listening to the True Martial Saint's narration, Lin Yun was also extremely shocked.

He never imagined that there were such profound intricacies between universes.

"Then, how many layers of heavens does our universe have, and how many layers have we broken through?" Lin Yun couldn't help but ask.

"Hehe, our universe is a thirty-sixth heaven universe, and we have already broken through the thirty-third heaven," True Martial Saint Monarch laughed.

"Huh? Only thirty-six heavens? And you've already broken through thirty-three heavens..." Lin Yun said with some disappointment.

Upon hearing that the strongest universe in the entire universe was the Eighty-One Heavens Universe, he couldn't help but feel that his home universe was far inferior, especially considering that the lowest level universe was the Nine Heavens Universe and the highest level universe was the Eighty-One Heavens Universe.

The Thirty-Six Heavens universe is estimated to be only of medium to low quality.

Each time a new layer of heaven is broken through, the blessings from heaven and earth are very powerful. This universe has already broken through thirty-three layers of heaven, and it is estimated that the layers that follow will not be easy to break through. It is estimated that it will not be easy for him to obtain the blessings from heaven and earth in this way.

“Thirty-six Heavens Universe is already quite good. You should know that many things are most numerous at lower levels. There are countless Nine Heavens Universe, Eighteen Heavens Universe, and Universe Sea. But there are fewer at Twenty-seven Heavens Universe. As for Thirty-six Heavens Universe, there might not be one in a thousand universes. You can imagine how lucky we are.” True Martial Saint Monarch shook his head and said.

"Uh..." Lin Yun was speechless.

Yes, he subconsciously analyzed the status of their universe according to the highest and lowest level universes, but forgot about the difference in quantity between things of different levels.

There isn't necessarily one Thirty-Six Heavens universe out of a thousand universes. Thinking about it this way, it's quite remarkable that their universe possesses such potential.

"There are a total of thirty-six heavens, and we have already broken through thirty-three. If we break through three more, our universe will be completely connected to the outside world. However, each heaven is not so easy to break through. According to Lord Li Er, in a universe, over many years and in many eras, there may not be a single person who can break through to a new heaven. And each one that does appear must be an exceptionally talented individual of that era, and may even influence many eras." After a pause, True Martial Saint King continued.

"Is that so? Then our universe has broken through the thirty-three heavens. That seems quite impressive!" Lin Yun exclaimed in surprise.

That Lord Li Er is the reincarnation of a powerful sage from the outside world, and he is very knowledgeable. What he said must be true.

"Do you know why so many saints and powerful figures have emerged in our Immortal Origin Holy Land in such a short time?" True Martial Saint Monarch nodded with a smile.

"Could it be because of breaking through the new heavens?" Lin Yun asked, his eyes wide.

“That’s right. When Lord Li Er descended upon our universe, our universe was only at the level of breaking through the eighteenth heaven. He led us to break through new heavens one after another, which created a blessed land like the Immortal Origin Holy Land and created so many Saint Realm experts like us,” said True Martial Saint Monarch.

"I see..." Lin Yun said, speechless.

So this is why so many saints and powerful figures were born in the Immortal Origin Holy Land.

Or perhaps a Saint-level expert.

He noticed that the way Zhenwu Shengjun addressed those powerful figures was somewhat different from how he addressed others.

It may take many years and many eras for someone to break through to a new level. The origin of that Lord Li Er is extraordinary, and the many years and many eras he mentioned must be quite a long time.

It's not possible for someone to break through to a new level in such a long time, yet he was able to lead a group to break through to a new level in succession, breaking through more than a dozen levels in a row. This shows how powerful Lord Li Er is.

"By the way, Saint, it was originally the term used by other cultivators in our universe to refer to those in the Immortal Origin Holy Land who had surpassed the Super Realm. Later, this realm was also called the Saint Realm." Just then, True Martial Saint Monarch seemed to sense something and said.

"Actually, the proper name for this realm in the Cosmic Sea is not the Saint Realm, but the Saint Realm. This realm is further divided into four levels: Lower Saint, Middle Saint, Upper Saint, and Peak Saint. Above that are the Saint King Realm and the Saint Monarch Realm. These three realms are also collectively referred to as the Saint Domain Realm," True Martial Saint Monarch continued.

"There are so many realms..." Lin Yun exclaimed in surprise.

etc……

Just then, Lin Yun suddenly thought of something. He looked at the True Martial Saint King with a shocked expression and exclaimed, "The Saint King is called the True Martial Saint King. Could it be that the Saint King has already reached the Saint King realm?"

"It's just the lower level of Saint King. The Saint King realm is also divided into lower, middle, upper, and peak levels. Moreover, I have only reached this level. Due to the power limitations of this universe, my power has not reached..." True Martial Saint King smiled slightly and said.

"It actually achieved that..." Lin Yun gasped slightly.

He had just heard True Martial Saint King say that above the Super Realm is the Saint Realm, and the Saint Realm is divided into four levels. He vaguely thought of the four levels of the Super Realm, and he knew how great the difference in strength was between the super strong people at each level.

Therefore, the gap between the four levels of the Saint Realm is very likely to be this large, or even larger.

A sage ruler is a realm beyond that...

Saintly Ruler... He had thought that this was a respectful title some people used for the saints of the Immortal Origin Holy Land!

After listening to what True Martial Saint Lord said about the division of the Saint Realm, he realized that it was not true at all!

The title "Jun" refers to a monarch or king. The gap between the Super Realm and the Saint Realm is enormous. According to the cultivation system, the further one progresses, the more difficult it becomes to cultivate, and the stronger one becomes. The strength of a Saint-King is most likely far greater than that of a Saint!

"Saint Ruler" is probably an honorific title used by powerful beings in the Cosmic Sea for those at the Saint Ruler level!

This also shows the strength and status of the Saintly Ruler in the Cosmic Sea!

Now he realized just how much stronger the True Martial Saint King was than an ordinary saint!

No wonder Zhenwu Saint Monarch defeated those nine Saint-level experts so easily. It's laughable that he and some others initially thought that Zhenwu Saint Monarch had used some special means to achieve this!

“We reached the Saint Realm so quickly because Lord Li Er guided us to break through the new heavens. You, on the other hand, reached this level by virtue of your own talent. To be honest, we really thought you were the reincarnation of Lord Li Er’s friend…” Zhenwu Saint Monarch looked at Lin Yun with a complicated expression and said.

Even if he wasn't the reincarnation of Lord Li Er's friend, he might be the reincarnation of some other powerful being.

However, he didn't say this aloud because he realized that after Lin Yun broke through to the Super Realm without awakening any memories, the possibility of that happening was almost zero.

Perhaps Lin Yun is still a reincarnation of a powerful being, but his realm in his previous life should not have reached the Saint Realm.

While he was telling Lin Yun these things, he was also secretly observing Lin Yun. He found that Lin Yun's behavior was not abnormal, so he should really not have awakened any memories of his past life.

"The spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower is also searching for its master. You broke through to the Super Realm without awakening your memories. Furthermore, the spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower has not seen you. Therefore, you should not be the reincarnation of Lord Li Er's friend," True Martial Saint Monarch continued.

"Mm." Lin Yun nodded.

He wasn't disappointed at all. He had mixed feelings about the reincarnation of powerful beings. On one hand, he hoped that his friend would have a next life after his death and that he would have the possibility of regaining his memories.

On the one hand, he didn't want to be anyone's reincarnation, because he wasn't sure if he would still be the same person after his past life memories were awakened.

"You may not know this, but before a universe is fully open, the powerful beings in that universe, once their strength reaches a certain level, cannot easily make a move. Otherwise, if the laws of that universe sense them, they will be repelled. Unless they can break through to a new level, they can stay for a while longer. However, once someone breaks through to a new level, their power will be tainted by the aura of external forces, making it extremely difficult for them to break through to a new level in this universe again," said True Martial Saint Monarch.

Back then, even someone as powerful as Lord Li Er only led them to break through the thirty-three heavens of this universe, and it was they who did most of the work. From this, we can see how difficult it would be for him to break through a new heaven.

It's practically impossible.

If he hadn't broken through to a new level of heaven, with his lower-level Saint King realm, breaking through to the thirty-fourth heaven wouldn't have been a problem.

pity.

He thought to himself.

According to Lord Li Er, the higher the number of new heavens a person breaks through, the more abundant the blessings from heaven and earth they will receive. If he breaks through the thirty-fourth heaven, he will be very successful.
