Meanwhile, the teachings of the Three Dao in cultivation passed down by Pei Xuanjing through the hand of Ye Daoyuan had spread all over the world, known by all.

Many Heavenly Rank strongmen have benefited greatly from it. Although their foundations are set and hard to change, it does not prevent them from letting some of their juniors try this path.

It was known that many people consider it a myth that Pei Xuanjing could ascend to the Heavenly Rank through three ranks of martial arts, engage in a one-against-two battle as soon as he entered the Heavenly Rank and finally even defeat Red Sun Martial Venerate, a strong man who had half a step into the Heavenly Realm.

Countless people idolized him, wishing they could attain such achievements and gain such fame.

Now, Pei Xuanjing has openly shared these secrets, which undoubtedly excited them. With the example of Pei Xuanjing, many people felt they could be the next Pei Xuanjing.

After all, the Way of Spirit Refinement is too abstruse and profound, but the Way of Essence Refinement is not difficult. For major forces, the Physical Path is quite simple.

It’s known that their Path of Qi Refinement heavily depended on talent, and not everyone in the world possesses the talent to cultivate.

However, the Way of Essence Refinement undoubtedly opened a door for many people without the talent for cultivation, allowing them to qualify for cultivation.

The Way of Essence Refinement emphasizes on refining the physical body, it is most appropriate if assisted by rare and exotic spiritual medicine, but it does not mean that one cannot cultivate without such medicine.

For the children of the major forces, they have a better choice. Similarly, it also opened up an opportunity for many people coming from impoverished backgrounds.

Although there may be unfairness on this path, they lack resources compared to those born to major forces, but it is infinitely better than being excluded due to lack of talent. At least they see hope.

Thanks solely to this, although Pei Xuanjing hasn’t set foot in the martial world in ten years, his reputation hasn’t diminished in the slightest. After ten years of development and promotion, it surpasses before.

After ten years of development, even though there are very few practitioners of the Dao of Spirit Refinement, without a special skill and talent, there can’t be many advancements.

However, the Dao of Essence Refinement has been thoroughly transmitted throughout the world, with countless practicers. Especially among imperial soldiers, their strong bodies and enormous strength can increase their survival chances in battle several times over, therefore attracting countless soldiers and eventually even becoming a compulsory martial arts for every soldier.

Especially three years ago some martial art experts, who had been stuck in the Gang Qi Realm of the the three rank of martial arts for decades and unable to break through, thanks to practicing the Dao of Essence Refinement passed down by Pei Xuanjing, miraculously stepped into the Heavenly Rank with the aid of their physical bodies. Ever since this method of practice has almost become a conspicuous subject, attracting countless people.

There’s no calendar in the hill, not aware of the year despite the coldness.

Pei Xuanjing had been in seclusion here for many years, unaware of how many seasons he had experienced, how many times he had witnessed spring’s arrival and autumn’s departure, summer’s ending and winter’s beginning.

He was seated cross-legged on a cloud platform at the top of a peak, surrounded by colorful clouds, converging Qi of Heaven and Earth. Each breath had rhythm, as if he was one with Heaven and Earth.

His robust body was gleaming as if composed of golden flesh and jade bones, occasionally radiating a shinning light. His eyes were slightly closed, his spirit was wandering beyond the sky.

Above his head, there were green, red, yellow, white, and black lights, interweaving and horizontally reflecting, quickly merging into a profound scroll. It seemed to symbolize spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and encompassing the Five Directions and Five Elements, the Four Seasons and Five Orders.

This was precisely the projection of the foundation of his Great Tao. The Scroll of the Four Seasons at this moment appeared more condensed than before, emitting a mysterious aura.

Although it was deep winter currently, surprisingly, it felt warm as a spring day at the top of the mountain, with blooming flowers, full of life and vitality, without any trace of the winter’s chill.

The moment he opened his eyes, the sky over the entire mountain changed color, and the surrounding blooming flowers gradually disappeared without a trace.

The spring flowers that had just appeared were an illusion!

If such a mysterious and miraculous scene were to leak out, it would surely shock countless people.

Because the blooming flowers just now seemed real, which was incredibly powerful.

Seeing the big picture from a small detail, one would realize the horrors of thinking it through. With such a profound technique, how frightening the current strength of Pei Xuanjing must be!

These ten years have been extremely important for Pei Xuanjing; his Dao of Qi Refinement, Dao of Spirit Refinement, and Dao of Essence Refinement all made tremendous progress

It can be said that his body in this world is indeed top-notch in talent. Even though his original body in the Daming World has greatly improved its talent through continuous cultivation, there is still a huge gap compared to this current body.

In just ten years, the current Pei Xuanjing could be said to have reached the state of Ye Daoyuan and Red Sun Martial Venerate ten years ago, with half a foot stepping into the Realm of Celestial.

Moreover, those two only reached such a state by fully refining Qi alone. But apart from Pei Xuanjing’s Dao of Qi Refinement reaching its extreme, his physical body and Yin Spirit have also made great progress.

Upon entering this state, he truly felt the limitations of this world and came to understand the marvel of the Celestial.

“What a pity, bound by the limitations of Heaven and Earth, although my Dao realm has improved a lot, the actual strength that can be exerted has not increased much.” Pei Xuanjing sighed to himself.

Originally, upon entering the Heavenly Rank, Pei Xuanjing, who cultivated the Dao of Spirit, Essence and Qi simultaneously, had comparable combat power to the extreme of the Heavenly Rank. Now, with Pei Xuanjing’s Dao of Qi Refinement at its extreme, how could his combat power not significantly increase?

It’s not that Pei Xuanjing doesn’t want to exert stronger strength, but that he can’t.

A Celestial is already the limit of the World of Myriad Manifestations. The rules of this world dictate that no force surpassing a Celestial can appear.

Once Pei Xuanjing reveals a power surpassing that, the Door of Celestial will certainly descend, urging him to reincarnate as a Celestial and ascend. But if he refuses, he will be repelled by Heaven and Earth, bringing down heavenly tribulations.

“However, my current cultivation is not necessarily following the prescribed order of the cultivation method of the World of Myriad Manifestations, but could delay a lot.” Confidence filled Pei Xuanjing’s face.

The Way he cultivated, although nominally classified as the Heavenly Rank, is actually quite different from the cultivation method of this world.

According to the division of the Nine Realms of Spirit, Pei Xuanjing’s current rank in the Dao of Qi Refinement should be the Spirit Realm Third Level, just one step away from breaking through to the Fourth Level of the Spiritual Realm, which corresponds to the Celestials in the legends of this world.
