Chapter 1651: Cultivation Level
Zhao Hai returned to his room but didn’t enter the s.p.a.ce. Instead, he took out the jade slip that Zhang Feng gave him and took a look. There was quite a lot of information inside the jade slip. After Zhao Hai scanned through it, he couldn’t help but be surprised. He discovered that the levels of cultivation after the Immortal Stage were the same as the levels before it.
In the Great World of Cultivation, the Immortal Stage levels were divided into six. The levels were Body Strengthening, Spirit Enhancement, Gold Core, Nascent Soul, Transcending Tribulation, and then the Extreme Immortality Stage. Each one of these levels were further divided into ten. As for the Gold Core, Nascent Soul, and Transcending Tribulation Stages, they were similar to the inferior realms, with a few characters being replaced.
But after further looking into it, Zhao Hai understood that although these three levels were similar in the World of Cultivation, there was a huge difference between them. Back in the World of Cultivation, in the Gold Core Realm, there really wasn’t any gold core created in the body. Zhao Hai only developed a gold core because of the special situation of his body. The other cultivators were just Gold Core in name. The same was true in the Nascent Soul Stage.
The Gold Core and Nascent Soul of the inferior realms weren’t very good. Even if the cultivators felt that they had formed a gold core inside their bodies, it was nothing more than a void core, not a real gold core.
Although the gold core and the void core had ‘core’ in their name, the change in one character was a huge difference. The existence of a gold core allowed one to produce pill fire to attack their energies. It can even be used to nourish one’s artifacts and even self-destruct to cause damage to the enemy. On the other hand, the void core merely provided the feeling that one had a gold core. And the greatest difference between the two was in regards to Faith Power.
After Zhao Hai looked through the jade slip, he began to understand more the importance of Faith Power to cultivators. The possession of Faith Power was the dividing line between cultivators. If a Severed Soul Cultivator didn’t have Faith Power, then they can only progress to become ordinary Immortal Experts. Even if they took heavenly treasures, their lifespan can only be a few digits long.
If that expert had Faith Power, then once they become an Immortal Expert they would be able to nurture their Dao Avatar. As the level of Dao Avatar becomes higher and higher, they can finally pa.s.s that stage and form a golden core. Then after breaking that core they can enter the Nascent Soul Stage. Once they form their Nascent Soul, their lifespan would become at least five eras. At this time, although the Nascent Soul can leave their bodies, it cannot go too far. If they left their body for a long time, the body would die. Then soon after, the Nascent Soul would dissipate without a body to nurture it.
After the Nascent Soul Stage was the Transcending Tribulation Stage. After the baptism of tribulation, the Nascent Soul would grow up and become more solid. Then it would be able to leave the body for a long time. At the same time, the strength of the cultivator would greatly increase. Moreover, their lifespan would be ten eras.
Ten eras was about 10 thousand years. With this lifespan, a person can be truly called an almighty being.
And then the last level was the Extreme Immortality Stage. Reaching this stage was extremely difficult. This was because a person needed to undergo the nine nine tribulation(81). But after the tribulation, the person’s Nascent Soul would become extremely powerful. His life would become 100 eras. However, the Extreme Immortal Stage was still a dream for multiple cultivators.
After reading the jade slip, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but sigh. The Great World of Cultivation was truly abnormal. They can actually reach 100 eras. In other words, those beyond the Extreme Immortal Stage can reach a lifespan of hundreds of thousands of years.
Besides this information, the jade slip also had a map of the Northern Exotic Province. The map not only included the overall outline of the province, it also showed the division of power between groups in the area. Even the forbidden lands of the province have been carefully labelled.
Zhao Hai had Cai’er replicate the contents of the jade slip. Then he gave her the task of investigating the information inside, especially the map. This was because the map also had information about the common techniques, crafts, and talents of the well-known sects of the province.
Zhao Hai was sure that even in the Black Tiger Gang, there were only a few people who could get their hands on this jade slip. The contents of the jade slip was just too rich. One could see at a glance that it was a property of a high-ranked disciple. Zhang Feng handing it over to Zhao Hai showed how important he was.
Zhao Hai stored the jade slip and let out a long breath. He didn’t think that it wasn’t only the Hundred Treasures Realm who wanted him not because of his strength, but because of the Universal Processing Machine. But this might mean that he would be an unhindered character in the Great Realm of Cultivation in the future.
Zhao Hai gently closed his eyes. But this time he didn’t pay attention to the s.p.a.ce. Instead he asked Cai’er about the recent events of the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield.
Nothing great happened in the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield recently. This was because the matters of the battlefield had been settled. The Hundred Treasures Realm has completely replaced the position of the Buddhist Realm and more. This was because the Hundred Treasures Realm not only had the Buddhist Realm’s territory, it also had their original territory. It can be said that the Hundred Treasures Realm have become the largest power in the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield. Although their foundations weren’t as deep, it was only a matter of time before they caught up. As long as they were given a peaceful period, n.o.body would dare provoke them in the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield.
Besides the Hundred Treasures Realm, the World of Cultivation was also prospering. The Hundred Treasures Realm knew very well that what they had today was because of Zhao Hai. Since Zhao Hai was from the World of Cultivation, the Hundred Treasures Realm treated them well.
The Hundred Treasures Realm had two reasons why they did this. The first reason was to let other people see how they treat those who contributed to them. The World of Cultivation had Zhao Hai join the Hundred Treasures Realm so they were given a lot of benefits. This would make others offer their geniuses to the Hundred Treasures Realm since they already know that the Hundred Treasures Realm wouldn’t treat them badly.
The second reason was because the higher-ups of the Hundred Treasures Realm understood that Zhao Hai was currently taken by the Sky Tower. The Sky Tower alone had enough strength to suppress the entire Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield. This showed that the Sky Tower had a large backing. The Sky Tower was like the Hundred Treasures Realm to the World of Cultivation. And with Zhao Hai’s skills, the Hundred Treasures Realm believed that Zhao Hai would rise above others. If Zhao Hai develops in the future, then the Hundred Treasures Realm would definitely benefit. It must be known that Zhao Hai was someone who regards old friends.h.i.+ps well.
If Zhao Hai knows that the World of Cultivation has been mistreated, then the Hundred Treasures Realm would certainly suffer. Therefore, the Hundred Treasures Realm made sure to treat the World of Cultivation well.
And facts showed that the Hundred Treasures Realm was right. People like Zhao Hai were like fireflies. Wherever they are, they will always s.h.i.+ne.
And Zhao Hai knew of these things. To be honest, he wasn’t repulsed by the Hundred Treasures Realm’s action. Although the Hundred Treasures Realm did it because they wanted something, it was still true that they treated the World of Cultivation well. One couldn’t expect everything to be perfect and everyone wasn’t a saint, especially for selfish cultivators.
As for Zhao Hai leaving the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield, this made the other realms relax. But even if that was the case, n.o.body still wanted to provoke the Hundred Treasures Realm. Without determining whether Zhao Hai was alive or not, n.o.body wanted to make a move. If they really attacked the Hundred Treasures Realm and Zhao Hai returned, then they would be eating a ma.s.sive loss.
Whether it was the Divergent Realm or the Sword Realm, none of them could guarantee that they could eradicate the Buddhist Realm. However, Zhao Hai was able to slaughter them. This meant that Zhao Hai had the strength to eradicate any realm in the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield. Those who provoked the Hundred Treasures Realm at this time would become the head of the snake. Instead, realms began establis.h.i.+ng friendly relations with the Hundred Treasures Realm.
Seeing that things were normal in the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield, Zhao Hai was relieved. Then he turned his attention back to the s.p.a.ce. Now, the Faith Power provided by the s.p.a.ce was richer compared to before. However, he couldn’t practice right now. Because if he did, Zhang Feng would definitely find out.
This didn’t mean that it was bad for Zhao Hai to be discovered by Zhang Feng. In fact, Zhang Feng would even protect him. However, Zhao Hai doesn’t like to show his cards. The reason why he revealed his ability was so that Zhang Feng would take him in.
Although Zhao Hai didn’t mind killing people in the Life and Death Arena, he thought that it was unnecessary. If he showed too much on the stage, then it might lead to unneeded troubles. So Zhao Hai revealed his value to Zhang Feng so that his progress would be hastened.
