Chapter 491: Chapter 35: Six Realms of Martial Saint
After several processes of inspection and allocation, each resource will eventually be assigned to a specialized department to be used to its fullest potential.
Some special resources will be overseen by designated personnel to ensure Lin Chen can access them when needed.
Throughout these processes, Lin Chen and Wang Lishan rarely intervened.
After distributing the materials, Lin Chen made a call to Wang Lishan.
"Uncle Wang, about the matter concerning Yue Sheng I asked before..." ƒrēewebnovel.com
On the other end, Wang Lishan chuckled:
"Ha ha, Yue Sheng just returned from the First Martial Realm an hour ago... He’s now at the rear mountain, why don’t you go take a look?"
"Oh? Alright!"
After hanging up, Lin Chen packed his things and hurried towards the rear mountain of the military region.
The journey was several hundred miles, but Lin Chen reached it in just ten breaths of time.
Then, releasing his Divine Sense, Lin Chen quickly found Yue Sheng.
"Yue Sheng!"
"You’ve come?"
Upon seeing Lin Chen, Yue smiled and without delay, took out two boxes.
"The items you wanted... I happened upon two Sixth Tier Demon Beasts and solved them together."
Hearing this, Lin Chen was delighted. Upon opening the boxes, he indeed found two large chunks of Sixth Tier Demon Beast meat inside.
Each piece weighed a substantial amount. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"Encountered two Sixth Tier Demon Beasts and easily resolved them..."
Lin Chen marveled internally, gaining a newfound respect for Yue Sheng’s might.
This Yue Sheng might be even stronger than he imagined.
One must know that a single Sixth Tier Demon Beast is equivalent to a Returning Void Cultivator.
Doesn’t this imply that Yue Sheng can effortlessly kill two Returning Void Cultivators?
Is a Martial Saint at Perfection really this strong?
Thinking of this, Lin Chen was somewhat puzzled and asked:
"Yue Sheng... just how strong are you?"
Yue pondered for a moment and said:
"In the history of our Human Race, only one Martial God has ever emerged... That one should be the strongest among our race."
"And beneath him, there is me..."
Underneath the Martial God, is he invincible?
Lin Chen thought for a moment, still at a loss.
He had not yet reached the Martial Saint Realm and did not know the exact strength of a Martial Saint.
But according to Lin Chen’s conjecture, a Martial Saint should be comparable to a Returning Void Cultivator, which is the strength of a Sixth Tier Demon Beast.
Yue Sheng is at the peak of being a Martial Saint, likely equivalent to the Returning Void Peak?
Yet for some reason, Yue Sheng’s mere presence exerted a great pressure on Lin Chen...
Almost as if he was completely unable to resist.
This was incomprehensible to Lin Chen.
Seeing Lin Chen still puzzled, Yue thought for a moment and said:
"Lin Chen, you said after Divinity Transformation is Returning Void, right? Then... do you know how strong Returning Void Cultivators are?"
Lin Chen pondered before replying, "An ordinary Returning Void Cultivator should be about as strong as I am now..."
"The power of a Returning Void Cultivator primarily originates from several sources. Abundant True Essence, exquisite Divine Techniques, and mastery over the Power of Heaven and Earth... which is the so-called Power of Law!"
Lin Chen had already grasped the rudiment of the Time Law, so he had an understanding of the general strength of a Returning Void Cultivator.
It was indeed strong, but it shouldn’t be overwhelmingly so.
Yue, thinking this over, commented, "Is it about as strong as you?"
"Then how strong is a Returning Void Perfection Cultivator in the Cultivation Realm...?"
Yue asked with a hint of curiosity.
Lin Chen contemplated and said, "They should be very strong, but still limited in being stronger than me... Above Returning Void is Integration, and at Integration they can command Power of Domain, which is when strength undergoes a qualitative transformation. Moreover, at Integration, mastery over Law can reach beyond Great Success..."
"Let me put it this way, even if I’m up against a Returning Void Perfection Cultivator, I still have the power to resist. But if I encounter a Cultivator of Integration, I wouldn’t have the slightest chance to resist..."
Hearing this, Yue had a tentative conclusion.
"I roughly understand, with my current cultivation... being in the Sixth Realm of Martial Saint Perfection, I’m probably equivalent to an Integration Cultivator in the Cultivation Realm."
Hearing this, Lin Chen was momentarily stunned.
Is Yue Sheng’s strength really as powerful as the Unity Stage?
He had always thought it was only equivalent to Returning Void Perfection...
"Wait... Yue, what do you mean by the Six Realms of Martial Saint? I thought there were Basic Level Martial Saint, Middle Level Martial Saint, and High Level Martial Saint?"
Lin Chen seemed to have caught onto something crucial.
"Ha ha, the Six Realms of Martial Saint... that’s also something I’ve been preparing to tell you."
"Because throughout Human history, only a few dozen have ever reached the level of Martial Saint..."
"Therefore, the Six Realms of Martial Saint, is something we’ve categorized ourselves."
"To be precise, completely achieving the Six Realms of Martial Saint allows one to utterly transform and be reborn, though not to the extent of reviving from a pulp... yet, even if turned into a mass of flesh, there is a chance for recovery."
Recover from being pulped without dying?
This left Lin Chen astounded.
Does a Martial Saint really possess such strong recovery power?
Silently, Lin Chen compared it to himself.
He’s just one step away from Martial Saint, but apparently... he lacks even the ability to regenerate a lost limb.
"Is the gap really that large?"
Lin Chen murmured.
Yue smiled and said:
"As I said, the Six Realms of Martial Saint is something our Human Race pioneered and explored. Because so few reach this realm."
"But after hearing your description, I think the Six Realms of Martial Saint... should span both Returning Void and Integration major realms."
"As for whether it corresponds to early, middle, or late stages of Integration, that I do not know."
"However, I can tell you... the gap between Martial Saint and Martial God, is vast!"
Vast, is it?
Lin Chen pondered, not having a direct feeling for the gap between the two.
Yue seemed to notice and thought for a moment before saying:
"Let me put it this way, the only Martial God ever born in Human history... his strength is such that if he wished... he could use his fists to lay waste to the entire Yellow Island Country."
Yellow Island Country...
Upon hearing that, Lin Chen widened his eyes, as Yellow Island Country is also one of the seven most powerful countries of the Human Race.
Yet because of its unique geographic location, it is a contiguous island nation.
Even so, its total area exceeds a million square kilometers, almost an entire continent.
Could the power of the Martial God truly smash an entire continent?
Lin Chen thought about it, feeling he still had a large gap to this realm...
"Throughout recorded history of Blue Star, there have been seventy-two cultivators reaching the Martial Saint Realm."
"Among them, only six have achieved the Sixth Realm of Martial Saint... with only one completely fulfilling the Six Realms of Martial Saint, reaching the Martial God Realm."
"And the reason they are called Martial God... is because that individual’s strength completely transcends the concept of a Martial Saint... perhaps only the Gods spoken of in legends can describe it."
There was a hint of reverence in Yue’s eyes.
"Honestly, in the presence of that one... I’m afraid I wouldn’t even have the chance to retaliate."
Lin Chen took in these words, recalling a saying.
Paths, are walked by people.
Realms, are pioneered by predecessors.
If no one had ever reached the Martial God Realm, then perhaps the pinnacle of the Martial Path would be the Martial Saint.
And that individual transcended the concept of Martial Saint, so much so that it couldn’t be described as the Seventh Realm of Martial Saint.
Therefore, the Martial God Realm was created...
"Yue Sheng... So what are the Six Realms of Martial Saint that you mentioned?"
At this moment, Lin Chen’s curiosity was fully piqued, and he couldn’t help but ask.
Yue, not withholding anything, said:
"The Six Realms of Martial Saint are: skin, flesh, blood, tendons, bones, and Qi..."
"In essence, it’s about perfecting the cultivation of these six elements!"
Skin, flesh, blood, tendons, bones, and Qi?
Lin Chen was slightly puzzled, as these parts are aspects that each Martial Artist’s every realm seems to enhance.
In the context of the Cultivation Realm, skin refining and bone refining appear to be quite basic, so why are Martial Saints still honing these?
"Surprised, right? Actually... before I reached the level of Martial Saint, I had the same thoughts as you."
"Martial Emperors were already so strong, why continue to hone these basic elements? But later on... I understood!"
Yue paused for a moment, speaking confidently:
"That’s because we have not yet refined them to their limit!"
"The Six Realms of Martial Saint is actually about refining the entire body to its utmost limit!"
"And this limit is divided into the six parts of skin, flesh, blood, tendons, bones, and Qi..."
