Chapter 1063: Chapter 1059: The Pinnacle Is Mighty Power
The mist obscured everyone’s sight; no one could see what was happening in the dojo.
Han Sanqian was still unconscious.
Yue Wuxia had already started studying the Old Kui Tree. She felt these branches were absurdly tough and contained Divinity, yet she couldn’t grasp what kind of power it was.
She swung the rough sword-embryo behind her and chopped down once, yet it didn’t budge in the slightest.
This surprised her greatly. Her gaze quickly grew scorching hot. "Good stuff."
She had seen many unbelievable trees before—like... the Tree of Great Dao, mm, the Primordial Tree, the Illusion Path Tree, the small Zhou Tian Tree, and so on.
Although all those trees had extraordinary origins and their own advantages, overall, none of them were as solid as the Old Kui Tree before her.
It was like a weapon that had already been quenched and refined.
Wasn’t this exactly what she needed most right now?
The ten-thousand-zhang-tall Old Kui Tree was a gigantic treasure. If it could be constantly tempered, compressed in size, until it reached the utmost refinement and purity, then fused with the sword embryo, it would definitely forge a Divine Weapon with the foundation of a Divine Artifact.
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help getting excited. After cleaning up the broken branches and fallen leaves on the ground, she quickly leaped onto the Old Kui Tree.
Down below!
"Eh, did you hear something?" Lingyun exclaimed in surprise.
"Kind of!"
"Seems like there’s someone up there." Lingyun Emperor raised his head. The next moment, his gaze froze as he shouted, "Stop! Stop right now..."
Yue Wuxia was holding the sword embryo and cutting into the Old Kui Tree. She planned to collect it slowly. She hadn’t expected to hear the voice from below at this moment, and her heart trembled.
Lingyun charged upward, furious. "What are you doing? What do you think you’re doing? Put the sword in your hand down."
"Senior!" Yue Wuxia gave an awkward smile.
"This is this Emperor’s Illusion Path Tree of Taoist Scripture, it carries several tens of thousands of years of my painstaking effort. Don’t touch it, put the sword down first!" When Chen Pingping fought that Divine Sense just now, his heart had already ached.
The ten-thousand-zhang Old Kui Tree from top to bottom was all his blood and sweat!
Every inch of branch and every leaf was a treasure. It might not be a Divine Weapon, but it was comparable to one.
After persuading Yue Wuxia to stop, Lingyun finally let out a sigh of relief. Then he swept his gaze over the lower part of the trunk and was instantly stunned, crying out, "Where are my branches?"
He had planned to pick them up and reattach them.
Yue Wuxia was still grinning awkwardly and didn’t answer that question.
Chen Pingping noticed what was going on and coughed dryly. "Senior, where were we just now?"
"Oh, oh, speaking of this path, mm, I’ll take you to meet an old friend." Lingyun’s attention was finally diverted.
Mentioning this friend, his tone grew solemn and his expression hardened.
Afterward, Lingyun waved his big hand and put the Old Kui Tree away, preparing to leave with Chen Pingping.
Yue Wuxia pointed at Han Sanqian. "Pingping, what about him?"
"Bring him along!" Chen Pingping smiled...
He had promised Han Sanqian a fortuitous encounter and had yet to deliver; plus, he had just tricked him. If he left him here and those Alien Race experts stormed in, Han Sanqian would absolutely have no way to survive.
Lingyun only gave him a glance and didn’t say much.
A few minutes later, the group went far away, while the dojo still remained, and that group of Alien Race warriors hadn’t noticed anything amiss.
"Tch... I left behind a dojo for future generations to come and learn from, but I never thought those bastards from the Void God Realm would join hands with the Divine Clan to suppress it." Lingyun gnashed his teeth.
"Was it because of Five Viscera Cultivation?" Chen Pingping asked.
"More or less." Lingyun nodded.
"What’s the connection between the five viscera and the Divine Tao?"
"Do you understand the Divine Clan?" Lingyun thought for a moment. "People always say the Human Clan is the lifeform most compatible with the Heavenly Dao, but... in truth, the Divine Clan is, and they are closer to perfection, which is why they are called the ’Divine’ Clan."
He went on, "The reason the Divine Clan is strong, apart from the activity of their fleshly bodies and bloodline inheritance, their greatest contributor is the five viscera and six bowels."
Chen Pingping’s expression turned grave; this was the first time he had heard this kind of statement.
"Divine Soul ranks top-tier among the top, flesh ranks top-tier, bloodline ranks second-tier, while the five viscera are their innate containers..." Lingyun explained.
The heart is the Boundless Sea, the liver the Endless Land, the spleen the Cave Heaven Realm, the lungs the Void Realm, and the kidneys the Divine Domain.
Any one of their five viscera is a gigantic container, far more boundless than the Human Clan’s Dantian. Moreover... within the five viscera, Divine Springs gush forth.
To put it simply, not only is the source of their power vast, it is also inexhaustible.
"The Dantian in the Human Clan’s body tops out at several hundreds of thousands of zhang. The Spirit Qi it can contain and exert is limited, and an ordinary cultivator’s Dantian is even worse—reaching a few thousand zhang is already the limit. In contrast, the Divine Clan has five of them. Put that way, you can understand." Lingyun sighed.
Chen Pingping was already stunned by this, his mouth slightly open, his heart shaken.
Five gigantic containers.
This?
It was beyond imagination.
Over these past few hundred years, the system had constantly accumulated cultivation for him, used to temper his body, flesh and blood, skin, bones, blood apertures, and many other areas, in pursuit of flawless perfection.
Take his Dantian and body for example: his Dantian definitely spanned over several hundreds of thousands of zhang, and his physique had long surpassed its limits, as tough as an Emperor Weapon.
But compared with the Divine Clan like this, in an instant, his cultivation suddenly seemed like it wasn’t cultivation at all.
"The Human Emperor is hailed as invincible, yet he has merely reached the utmost limit of the Human Clan’s body. To break through beyond that is by no means an easy task." Lingyun looked at him.
"What about those in the Heaven Emperor Realm?" Chen Pingping couldn’t help asking.
"The Heaven Emperor Dharma Principle is the evolution of the five viscera and is also caused by the five viscera containers. If, within the Emperor Realm, you open one of them, that already counts as stepping into the Heaven Emperor Realm." He explained it like this: "So, the Emperor Realm has only one barrier, but the Heaven Emperor Realm has five barriers. If you want to enter the Divine Tao, condense a God Grid, and open up your own Mighty Power, this road... is even farther and even longer than you imagine. Since ancient times, the number who have done it is pitifully small."
"Senior, you must have stepped into the Half-God Realm, right?" Chen Pingping’s heart was hard to calm.
"Actually, no!" Lingyun shook his head. "If, among the five viscera, you pick one and push it to the Transforming Realm, opening the Divinity of that one, you can also reach the Half-God Realm."
"The ultimate Divinity of the five viscera is Mighty Power, right?"
"Your comprehension isn’t bad. Yes, the ultimate five viscera is Mighty Power..." As he spoke, he grabbed Han Sanqian in one hand to explain to Chen Pingping: "Human Clan cultivators open up the Dantian. An ordinary one is a thousand-odd zhang; those with slightly better aptitude can reach several thousand; geniuses and so on reach above ten thousand; and a few stunning fellows can reach around a hundred thousand zhang. This is the difference brought by their innate talent."
"This same point can be applied to the Alien Race as well. Take this guy, for example. Although he’s a Fourth Rank Martial Artist, the degree to which his heart and liver are opened is far worse than some at Yellow Rank. Even a Second Rank Martial Artist at Earth Rank could easily defeat him."
Cultivating a single realm?
Chen Pingping fell silent. He had discussed this theory with Chen Shixian before, and afterward she had served him with a drawn sword. Then... came the cultivation of the ten Human Body Treasures.
Looking at it now, cultivating a single realm might not be untenable; it’s just much more difficult.
The five viscera were exactly that.
Of course, among the realms of the Human Clan, only the Dantian can be continually opened. The body can, too, but the body doesn’t count as a realm.
So although Chen Shixian seemed to still be at the Peak State of Supreme Mystery, due to the ten Human Body Treasures, she could possess combat power of the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
It was similar to what Sir Lingyun called the Divinity of one of the five viscera.
Thinking of this, Chen Pingping’s heart trembled, and his gaze suddenly burned hot. He had an idea: if Chen Shixian broke through King Tao and her realm kept rising, then combined with the ten Human Body Treasures, she might reach a terrifying height.
As expected...
He still should have brought that girl along.
Chen Pingping felt a bit of regret.
Lingyun patted his shoulder and said, "Young man, don’t overthink it. Five Viscera Cultivation is a long and arduous road; there’s still a long way to go!"
"Yes, this junior will bear it in mind!" Chen Pingping replied humbly.
Lingyun casually tossed Han Sanqian to Yue Wuxia and then said, "Compared to this Emperor back then, you’ve already done very well. At least, within the Emperor Realm, you can already possess Slaying God power. Mm, not bad, not bad!"
At this moment, Yue Wuxia asked from the side, "Senior, do I have potential?"
"You? Are you human or demon? Strange, just what kind of physique do you have?" Lingyun was puzzled as well. As a dignified Human Clan supreme powerhouse of the Half-God Realm, he couldn’t see through a little girl.
How odd.
Yue Wuxia said, a bit embarrassed, "My mother is the Demon Emperor, my father is from the Human Clan."
Oh, oh!
Lingyun suddenly understood. "A mixed-blood Emperor Son." He began to take Yue Wuxia seriously. The more he looked, the more he felt something was off; in this girl’s body, a power was hidden that made it hard for him to remain calm.
Though he didn’t want to admit it.
"Who is your father? Is he also a Human Emperor?" Lingyun asked.
"I’m not too sure."
"Forget it, forget it, this Emperor won’t ask about your background anymore. However... you look pretty good, mm, you look fine. Do you have a Tao Companion?" Lingyun asked again, "This Emperor knows a rather outstanding Emperor Son. I can introduce you two to each other."
