Chapter 159: #159 - The destiny of man, the realm between the body and qi

"According to ancient legends, some peerless geniuses would trigger celestial phenomena when breaking through realms, but nowadays, it's rare for anyone to achieve this, and even if it happens, it's not through individual effort."

Xu Ruohai muttered to himself, filled with boundless astonishment.

Given his strength and the level he has reached, the fact that he would say such a thing shows how rare it is for someone to trigger celestial phenomena solely through a breakthrough; they are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Linghua Zhenren spoke in a deep voice:

"Triggering celestial phenomena does exist."

"But it was prevalent in the era when immortals and gods had not yet disappeared."

"Back then, the world's spiritual energy was abundant, and the laws of the Great Dao were manifest. But now that immortals and gods have vanished, although the spiritual tide is rising again, it has yet to reach its peak. The laws of heaven and earth remain as silent as ever, and only your Divine Gate Grandmasters or our Nascent Soul Great Experts can comprehend them."

His words were filled with shock, and he continued:

"For Daozi to trigger celestial phenomena at the wrong time and in the wrong place, relying solely on his own power, shows how profound his foundation is and how special his physique and luck are."

Yuan Xingkong did not speak. He was already earnestly taking action, maintaining the spiritual energy shield around the Golden Pavilion to prevent the celestial phenomena triggered by Su Han from spreading out and manifesting over the entire county town.

"Hurry up and lend a hand, or I won't be able to hold back this phenomenon."

He quickly called out, seeking help.

"As you know, Su Han is being watched by too many people. This is probably why he broke through the Qi Gate so quickly. Now that the commotion is so great, if it leaks out, even if he has already broken through the Qi Gate, his safety may not be guaranteed."

The two nodded and also took action, helping to maintain the shield.

They were well aware that if the fact that he triggered celestial phenomena solely through a breakthrough were to leak out, even Divine Gate Grandmasters would be interested, and that would indeed be troublesome.

Before a Divine Gate Grandmaster, even the strongest Qi Gate cultivator is like an infant.

Under the impact of the celestial phenomena, the spiritual energy shield was on the verge of collapse. Even with the three of them, all Qi Gate cultivators, working together, they felt incredibly strained. After all, this was the power of heaven and earth, difficult to contend with.

It could even be said that this was a certain mechanism of heaven and earth.

Previously, it had been dormant simply because no one could cross this boundary, but now that Su Han had exceeded the limit, it was triggered. And once triggered, how could Qi Gate cultivators resist it?

Now, even Xu Ruohai dared not claim to be invincible here.

But why did the pressure suddenly decrease so much just now?

They were somewhat puzzled but could not find the reason, so they could only attribute the answer to the celestial phenomena not being aggressive.

On the other side, by the Water-Fire Fiend Lake, inside the blacksmith shop.

Li Wu stopped his large hammer, his gaze seeming to cross through wall after wall, focusing on Su Han, who was breaking through. His expression was somewhat surprised and also somewhat gratified.

Not bad, truly not bad.

A chaotic era is also a prosperous era.

Someone has already been able to do this. It's truly commendable.

Is heaven and earth returning to the glory of the immortal and divine era?

What an interesting little fellow.

Perhaps he can truly seize that sword of the future?

He pondered this matter but could not give an answer. As the sword-caster, almost no one knew better than him just how great the destiny of that fated sword master was. His bloodline was noble, a person of destiny. In the eyes of many great powers and families, he was even hailed as someone who could end an era and create a new one.

He was even comparable to the legendary Great Li Emperor of the past.

With so many halos combined, perhaps that person could also trigger celestial phenomena with his own power; it was just that he didn't know it yet. After all, with that person's talent, if it were revealed too early, it would not only arouse jealousy but also incur the wrath of heaven.

Even the Heavenly Dao might not allow the existence of such talent.

No one wanted to see another Great Li Emperor appear.

He forcibly forged a thousand years of martial luck for all martial artists.

He delayed the arrival of the great era of true cultivation by a thousand years.

And the performance of this little fellow Su Han did indeed exceed his expectations, but he had not deeply understood him, and he was not sure whether this little fellow's talent could reach that level.

If it could, then the future would seem predictably interesting.

He smiled softly, withdrew his gaze, and continued to forge.

Inside the closed-door cultivation room, Su Han's aura continued to rise, unstoppable, climbing higher and higher, continuously crossing step after step, breaking through layers of bottlenecks and obstacles, and reaching a brand new level.

At this moment.

He finally understood why the Body Gate and the Qi Gate were so different, almost as if they were not the same species. That was because the Body Gate and the Qi Gate were separated by more than just one realm.

This was quite counterintuitive, but the fact was indeed so.

He could clearly feel that he was constantly consuming the foundation accumulated at the Body Gate level, breaking through one bottleneck after another, one realm after another, and reaching an increasingly new height.

In this process, he also understood.

The realm existing between the Body Gate and the Qi Gate was quite special and did not allow martial artists to stay.

It was like a cliff. The Body Gate and the Qi Gate were the bottom and the top of the cliff. Martial artists needed to be climbers, climbing from the bottom of the cliff to the top of the cliff, but in between, there were multiple platforms and supply points.

These platform supply points, although they could supply martial artists and provide new sources of power, could not allow martial artists to stay. Once they stayed, the platform would collapse, and the breaker would fall back to the Body Gate cliff bottom.

This led to a very strange point.

Why would an objectively existing realm collapse?

Logically speaking, this was not a substantial thing.

The small realms in the middle simply did not allow staying, as if those small realms were not naturally existing in the world but were artificially created.

It was not known what was going on.

But could realms really be artificially created? This was not a real substance but a standard,

an objectively existing standard.

Even the so-called opening up of the road ahead.

More often, it was expressed as discovering the road ahead, rather than truly opening it up, like the law of universal gravitation was discovered rather than invented.

Su Han thought in his heart, feeling somewhat incredible. The realm, as a standard, would actually break, which was simply contrary to common sense.

However, he quickly restrained these messy thoughts.

Because the breakthrough of the Qi Gate was already nearing its end, his aura had already reached a new stage, and he could feel the surrounding vast spiritual energy of heaven and earth. He could inhale and exhale spiritual energy with every breath.

This was precisely the manifestation of the Qi Gate level.

Using one's own power to extract and refine the Qi of heaven and earth, sublimating oneself!
