Inner Sect Disciples, Primordial Pill Realm.
Outer Disciples, Furnace Fire Realm.
Servant Disciples, Detachnt Realm.
A very clear hierarchy was established in Jiang Shu’s mind. He increasingly understood the value of the Jade Token from Master Ming Lei. Regardless of one’s age, as soon as one reached the Furnace Fire Realm, they could beco an Outer Disciple. According to Luo Yu, the True Martial Sect’s quota for Disciples was undoubtedly very strictly controlled. The considerations were not just the Realm but also one’s Cultivation Talent. The Da Jing Dynasty, being a mid-level Dynasty, could produce geniuses at the Detachnt Realm like Luo Yu. If it were a higher-level, or even a so-called super-level Dynasty, could they produce true geniuses of the Furnace Fire Realm? Standing out in the Great Dynastic Battle was by no ans an easy feat.
"Did you ever imagine that even we, being such geniuses, would end up rely as servant disciples after participating and smoothly passing through the Great Dynastic Battle?" Luo Yu said. "We consider ourselves lucky. If we had stayed in the Dynasty for our whole lives, we might have been stuck in the Detachnt Realm forever. What good would a lifespan of three hundred years be compared to the five-hundred-year lifespan of soone in the Furnace Fire Realm?"
"Moreover, being a servant disciple is only temporary. If we successfully break through and are promoted to an Outer Disciple, in the future, we can even look forward to reaching the Primordial Pill Realm."
Having reached the Detachnt Realm before thirty, Luo Yu was unwilling to remain at this level for his entire life. The Great Dynastic Battle was sothing he was determined to take part in, even if it ant starting out as a servant disciple.
"The Detachnt Realm, considered the Peak for experts in the Da Jing Dynasty, is rely foundational in Martial Arts Cultivation within the Sect, just like the three major barriers of Qi and blood before the Skin Grinding Realm," Luo Yu continued as they ate, quickly revealing everything he knew. "Only upon reaching the Furnace Fire Realm does a new beginning truly start."
The delicacies on the table were quickly devoured. Without any rest, the two imdiately headed for the Hidden Technique Pavilion.
"Supre Cultivation Techniques are extrely precious," Luo Yu said. "Our Luo Family, after a thousand years of accumulation, possesses only three sets. I hope Brother Jiang will keep this confidential."
The Luo Family’s Hidden Technique Pavilion was located in the eastern courtyard.
Before Jiang Shu could get close, a powerful wave of spiritual power swept over him. It only stopped scrutinizing his entire body when it noticed Luo Yu by his side.
"Greetings, Third Elder," Luo Yu bowed respectfully when they reached the entrance of the Hidden Technique Pavilion. Although he was now a true genius of the Luo Family and was soon to participate in the Great Dynastic Battle, he still held profound respect for his family’s elders. After all, the family’s growth to its current strength, and the continuous Cultivation resources he had received, were ultimately due to the efforts of these older generation experts.
"So, this is the Jiang Shu, the Jiang Genius you ntioned?" the Third Elder remarked. "Indeed, a young hero. Go on into the Hidden Technique Pavilion; I won’t delay you further."
The Luo Family’s Third Elder looked at Jiang Shu with satisfaction. Although supre Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts were precious, if they could bring Jiang Shu and Luo Yu closer, it was undoubtedly a very worthwhile exchange. After all, a Sect was different from a Dynasty. Once in the Sect, Luo Yu, as a servant disciple, would have countless tedious tasks to perform daily. Having a familiar companion for mutual support and to advance together through trials would undoubtedly make their future path sowhat broader. Moreover, this Jiang Shu had saved Luo Yu’s life.
"The supre Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts are all on the sixth floor," Luo Yu said, stopping at the staircase and not continuing forward. "I’ve been in there many tis already, so I won’t disturb you, Brother Jiang."
He gave Jiang Shu enough ti and space to choose.
"Thank you, Brother Luo."
Without further pleasantries, Jiang Shu walked straight in. Although the Luo Family’s Hidden Technique Pavilion was very spacious, due to the scarcity of supre Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts, the replicated Jade Scrolls on the shelves—only a dozen or so Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts—were visible at a glance.
Jiang Shu quickly skimd past the Martial Arts.
He had already cultivated the "Heavenly Gang Dragon Capturing Hand" to Great Success; it wasn’t wise to bite off more than he could chew. With only a few months left until the Great Dynastic Battle, he needed to focus more of his energy on cultivating his Cultivation Technique to successfully advance to the Detachnt Realm and further strengthen his spiritual power.
Spiritual Cultivation within the Universal Cultivation thod, ditation Breathing—these are actually higher levels of deep sleep, developing the brain domain during sleep, enhancing life force, and emphasizing both spirit and physique. But here, the supre Cultivation Techniques represent a different Cultivation philosophy. If the Universal Cultivation thod is stillness, then the Detachnt Realm Cultivation of the Da Jing Dynasty is movent.
Picking up the Luo Family’s treasured supre Cultivation Technique, the "Boundless Tidal Soul Cleansing Verse," Jiang Shu mused internally.
He had already traversed the Body Refinent and Qi Refinent stages of the Da Jing Dynasty and was exceedingly familiar with them. However, he didn’t know much about the Detachnt Realm. The only Detachnt Realm expert he had fought, Liang Yuewu, patriarch of the Liang Family, had been injured and, in order to recover, had rarely used his spiritual power. Although Liang Yuewu possessed a Middle Stage Detachnt Realm cultivation base and Early Stage Detachnt Realm strength, his actual performance had only been comparable to soone half-step into the Detachnt Realm.
The "Crystal ditation thod" involves self-visualization as a crystal, cultivating in a static state. The "Boundless Tidal Soul Cleansing Verse," on the other hand, uses Primordial Power from the acupoints throughout the body to continuously impact the brain in a tidal fashion, thereby refining the Martial Artist’s soul. According to the Cultivation Technique’s divisions, from entry-level to Perfection, it corresponds to four stages of a Martial Artist’s Soul Power: Shell Ergence, Object Driving, Manifestation, and Possession.
Shell Ergence: When the spirit is highly concentrated, the soul erges from its ’shell’ and moves around the body.
Object Driving: The soul exists between the ethereal and the real, able to move objects that require a certain amount of physical strength.
Manifestation: The soul condenses Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to form a true physical shape—like a dream, an illusion, a bubble, a shadow; like dew, or like lightning. Upon reaching this Realm, even if the physical body is killed, the soul can temporarily reside in certain special Treasures.
