Outside the palace, suddenly, water flooded Jinshan Temple, a massive curtain of water engulfing the palace, which stretched for over two hundred miles. You were momentarily stunned: "Little Xu?"

Xu Daolin's helpless voice came through: "Uncle, it's not convenient for me to get involved in this matter, so I'll step aside for now."

You paused, foreseeing a terrifying future, and screamed like a little girl: "Don't go! Protect me! You brat, come back here and protect me!"

However, the surroundings were already shrouded in a curtain of water, and Xu Daolin withdrew his spiritual power, so he couldn't hear anything...

Deep within the Touyang Belt, in a place unknown to anyone, lies the very place where you, Yun Shiyi, reside.

Yun Shou: "..."

After a while, Wu Hu Hu, Xi Xi Qi, and the other water spirits left triumphantly.

[Woohoo: "So-so."]

"Boiling Item, can't you just use Descent!?"

[You even used a descent technique, but a descent can only last for an hour at most, how could that be enough?]

"Boiling matter has arrived, useless thing!"

This led to your complete disgrace and defeat at the hands of a group of beautiful women.

[A few days later.]

"Uncle, I have urgent business to attend to and must take my leave."

【you:"……"】

Oh my god!

These shameless scoundrels are taking advantage of my weakness to kick me when I'm down!

[(1 million words omitted)]

[Ye Ranyi's departure, and the look in her eyes as she left, deeply pierced your heart.]

That gaze was called… "Why not use your hands?"

"No, I can't keep cultivating so leisurely!"

"We must speed things up, we must become stronger quickly!"

At this moment, your desire for martial arts is incredibly strong!

One month later, you will have undergone the eighth stage of True Essence Transformation.

[Another two months later, the True Essence has undergone nine transformations!]

[Peak of the First Realm, comparable in level to a Grandmaster at the peak.]

[However, in reality, the Extreme Martial Arts system pursues strength, so your current level is "Grandmaster with 12-20 times combat power (including the 20-100% bonus from martial arts after optimizing the body structure), but your actual combat power value is 32 times, and with Gang Jin, it becomes 40 times."]

"He is... a powerful expert at the mid-stage of the Celestial Realm."

[The Nine Transformations of True Essence have given you yet another means of unleashing your power.]

[The previous three transformations could ignite blood, and the six transformations could condense essence blood, both of which required a considerable period of weakness afterward.]

[After the True Essence Nine Transformations, one can damage their own aptitude and foundation to unleash ten times their combat power!]

[However, repairing it later will be extremely difficult, requiring countless rare martial arts medicines.]

[You've made a strange discovery: the self-inflicted damage to one's aptitude during the Nine Transformations of True Essence can be restored through "Heavenly Origin Cleansing."]

[A talent that is extremely difficult to improve in the Extreme Martial Arts system can be ignored in the second realm of the Venerable Origin system.]

"Furthermore, even if the potential is boosted to 10x and then drops to 9.7x, the Holy Body won't be lost; only the physical body will become weaker."

[Next, the second stage of the Extreme Martial Arts System will open up seventy-two external acupoints.]

"According to the theory of extreme martial arts, the human body has a total of 360 orifices, both internal and external."

"It is divided into seventy-two external orifices and two hundred and eighty-eight internal orifices."

"And this second stage involves opening 72 external acupoints. Each time one is opened, the body's strength increases by 14%!"

"Initially, opening the apertures is easier than the eighth to ninth transformation of the True Essence in the previous realm. Ordinary martial artists can easily open three to five apertures after breaking through to this stage."

"But the difficulty increases absurdly as you progress, because it's an exponential increase. The difficulty of unlocking a new skill later on is thousands of times greater than before!"

[You exclaimed how terrifying it was, then stuffed a handful of top-grade Aperture-Opening Pills into your mouth. After digesting these dozens of pills, you'll be enough to become a Four-Aperture Powerhouse.]

[There are approximately 370 million Awakening Pills remaining in the spatial ring...]

[In 4037, you will have opened your fifty-sixth acupoint.]

[His level is considered a relatively weak late-stage Celestial Being, and his strength is around the third level of the Overlord realm.]

After all, there's a whole realm separating them.

This year, you ventured into the Yuan Tian battlefield for an adventure.

[You've already learned from Xu Daolin that the maximum value of the Holy Body is 360 times.]

In other words, the strongest individual in the second realm of the Yuan Tian Battlefield, numerically speaking, is only at the fifth level of the Overlord realm—a level only possessed by super-strong individuals who have undergone at least fifty or sixty retraining sessions.

"We have to exclude the kind that faces the sun, and there's also a 'half-step' system between major realms."

Yun Shou still remembers that Xiang Yang did not have a Holy Body at that time, but because he was in the transit state of his self-created system, he was assigned to the second realm area (Chapter 272).

However, his stats at that time reached seven times the peak of the second realm!

However, if we include some systems with ambiguous stages, it's possible that there might be beings around the ninth level of the Overlord realm.

[But the possibility is extremely low. Multiple conditions combined: someone who rebuilds from the sixth realm, having rebuilt at least dozens of times to max out their Sacred Body stats, possessing a system with ambiguous stages, being at the peak of the second realm, and then going to dominate the Yuan Tian Battlefield without breaking through... It's probably one in a hundred million years!]

[In the entire Second Realm region, it's extremely difficult to encounter someone with the same stats as yourself, comparable to a third-level Overlord.]

[The Yuan Tian Battlefield (Second Realm area) has basically been divided into three rings.]

The strength of those in the outermost ring is at least at the mid-stage of the Celestial Realm, or the early-stage of the Holy Body Celestial Realm. Those weaker than this are not worthy of appearing. The early-stage Celestial Realm in the Wucheng Zone are just the lowest-level ants here!

"Back then, even those in the mid-stage of the Innate Realm could enter the Hundred Races Battlefield in the Azure Domain to try their luck. But the Heavenly Origin Battlefield has completely blocked that path. Unless one is a sixth-level cultivator, one must become a Celestial Realm cultivator to barely gain a foothold in the second-level region."

Yun Shou was filled with emotion.

"Wait a minute, something doesn't seem right."

“It’s not like it was back then. This Azure Domain is still a battlefield for all races.”

[The strength of those in the second ring region is generally at the peak of the Celestial Realm. Those with a Sacred Body that hasn't undergone retraining at this level typically only provide 1.5-2 times the combat power multiplier, and many don't even provide any combat power at all.]

[The inner ring area is truly a place where demigods fly around and near-immortals dance together.]

[There are numerous divine beast bloodline systems similar to Yang Dingtian's. Some purebred divine beast larvae start with a power level of twenty or even thirty times, but these power levels remain unchanged until the sixth realm.]

[There are also many "half-step third realm" individuals who, because they haven't reached the minimum threshold for the Yuan Tian Battlefield to divide into three realms, remain in the second realm area, possessing power ten to twenty times greater than that of ordinary peak second realm cultivators.]

Finally, there are the fewest, yet most formidable, cultivators who have rebuilt themselves to the sixth realm!

[They possess at least a tenfold multiplier, and each has the unique power of a dual-system, boasting far more experience and methods. Moreover, they are virtually indestructible; they are truly beings not to be trifled with!]
