Chapter 469: Chapter 468 Vast Martial Arts
Afterward, Ye Fan asked, "Senior Zhuang Zhou, I’m very curious. What realm lies beyond the Reincarnation Realm?"
He was intensely curious. If the Reincarnation Realm only produced beings known as ’Spirits,’ what could possibly lie beyond it?
"Above the Reincarnation Realm lies the Nirvana Realm!" Zhuang Zhou explained. "Those who break through to the Nirvana Realm can be considered gods, albeit Weak Gods. Upon breaking through seven major Nirvanas, one becos a Mid-level God, also known as a Life Profound powerhouse. Breaking through ten Nirvanas—the so-called Great Nirvana—makes one a High-level God, also known as a Death Profound powerhouse. High-level Gods can be called Pseudo Ancestor Realm powerhouses, but they are still a far cry from the true Ancestor Realm!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan seed to understand. Those old geezers from the Yan Clan who had teased him—the Five Ancestors of the Yan Clan—were Pseudo Ancestor Realm powerhouses. He couldn’t believe those old n were so powerful. Truly, you can’t judge a book by its cover!
At that mont, Zhuang Zhou said, "You still have a long way to go."
Ye Fan nodded in understanding.
Break through the Nirvana Realm to beco a god, seven major Nirvanas to reach Life Profound, and ten major Nirvanas to reach Death Profound, also called a Pseudo Ancestor!
At this point, he asked, "So, beyond ten major Nirvanas is the Ancestor Realm, right?"
Zhuang Zhou shot him a look of utter disdain. Just for that, Ye Fan cursed him a thousand tis in his heart. Does it have to be this frustrating?
Zhuang Zhou proclaid, "You’re thinking about the Ancestor Realm far too simply! Every powerhouse who has reached the Ancestor Realm was a peerless genius, unequaled throughout history. This holds true in both the Divine World and the mortal world."
"What about that great figure?" Ye Fan asked curiously, referring to Yuanhong’s previous master.
"No!" Zhuang Zhou responded. "Not only was he not one, but even within the Divine Race, no one has ever achieved the Ancestor Realm. Anyone who reaches it possesses talent that is peerless throughout the ages!"
"Looks like I’m the only one who can achieve the Ancestor Realm, then!" Ye Fan declared with a straight face.
Zhuang Zhou gave him a disgusted look. He’d never seen such a narcissistic person before.
He then stated, "Life Profound and Death Profound constitute one cycle. Only by experiencing ten such cycles can one truly reach the Ancestor Realm."
"What the—!"
Ye Fan was instantly speechless. So that was how it was. Ten cycles ant undergoing one hundred Nirvanas. No wonder reaching the Ancestor Realm was an achievent that could shake the past and illuminate the present—it was just that difficult.
"Among the Divine Race, there was once a High-level God who broke through the eighth Great Nirvana," Zhuang Zhou revealed. "Later, he and that great figure ended up annihilating each other. It was because of that battle that the Divine Race began its period of decline."
Ye Fan wanted to applaud and exclaim in awe. The path of Martial Arts was truly vast. Compared to those titans, he was nothing more than a firefly against the bright moon!
Ye Fan asked again, "Then what realm is after the Ancestor Realm?"
Zhuang Zhou’s expression grew even more disgusted. He wanted nothing more than to grab Ye Fan and yell at him. You haven’t even broken through a single minor Nirvana and you’re already asking about such profound realms? Aren’t you getting ahead of yourself?
Still, Zhuang Zhou patiently explained. "The Primordial Realm. Since ancient tis, very few have ever reached it. As for how many ascended to the Primordial Realm after reaching the Ancestor Realm, I do not know."
Ye Fan was disappointed. He had assud Zhuang Zhou would know. It seems Zhuang Zhou isn’t so impressive after all if he doesn’t even know these things. If Zhuang Zhou knew what Ye Fan was thinking, he would probably grind his face into the dirt.
At that mont, Ye Fan said, "Arrange for
to go to the battlefield! I need to fight!"
His physical body was immortal, but his cultivation realm remained stuck, unable to break through to the Reincarnation Realm. This vexed him greatly. As long as he beca a Reincarnation Realm powerhouse, figures like the European Pope or the Cain Ancestor would be unable to touch him. Therefore, he urgently needed a breakthrough!
Zhuang Zhou said, "Fine. Tomorrow, I’ll arrange for you to go to the battlefield and see what a real battle is like!"
Ye Fan was filled with deep disdain. He had fought countless tis on his journey and seen every kind of brutal warfare imaginable. But he couldn’t be bothered to argue with Zhuang Zhou right now. After all, he was a magnanimous person.
"Then where am I staying?" Ye Fan asked Zhuang Zhou.
"You can stay here tonight," Zhuang Zhou replied.
"Seriously? Isn’t this a bit too shabby?" Ye Fan was truly speechless. The room wasn’t just bad, it was abysmal! He found it hard to accept.
But Zhuang Zhou just said, "As things stand, the conditions here are considered pretty good!"
Ye Fan couldn’t be bothered to argue. If he had to stay, he’d stay.
That night, he stayed in the dilapidated room. It was clear the war here was unusually brutal. Ever since his arrival, a thick, lingering killing intent had perated the air. This killing intent had yet to dissipate.
He slept soundly through the night. The next day, however, it wasn’t Zhuang Zhou who ca, but another man.
"Who are you?" Ye Fan asked. The man had a cold expression and looked even more wizened than Zhuang Zhou. Ye Fan couldn’t figure out who this old man was or why Zhuang Zhou hadn’t co himself.
The man said, "Fa Ming!"
Ye Fan imdiately understood. Fa Ming was Zhuang Zhou’s senior brother, and his strength was said to be equal to, if not greater than, Zhuang Zhou’s. Since it was him, Ye Fan let his guard down.
Then, he asked Fa Ming, "So, what are you here for?"
Fa Ming said, "To take you to the most brutal battlefield. Are you ready?"
"I’m ready!" Ye Fan replied instantly.
Fa Ming continued, "Today, it’s my turn to lead the fight. The enemy has deployed two Spirit Clan Commanders, both of whom are at the Reincarnation Realm. You and so of your comrades will be responsible for fighting one of them—the weaker one!"
Ye Fan imdiately felt the pressure mount. A Spirit Clan Commander! That was no ordinary enemy.
"What? Are you scared?" Fa Ming asked, seeing Ye Fan deep in thought.
"I’m not," Ye Fan replied instantly. Life was short; the worst that could happen was death. As long as he could have a good, hearty battle, why should he fear life or death? The word ’fear’ had never existed in his dictionary.
Fa Ming nodded. "Good. Then follow the army to battle!"
Ye Fan imdiately followed Fa Ming. He saw them then—the Spirit Suppressing People. There were several hundred of them, all clad in tattered clothes, and every single one was at the Supre Realm or higher.
Such powerful experts, if placed in the mortal world, could easily dominate a region, if not rule the world. Yet, from their eyes, Ye Fan saw only despair and fear. It was as if they had already broken down and were only holding on through sheer force of will.
At that mont, Fa Ming asked him, "What do you see?"
"I see their terror and dread!" Ye Fan said imdiately.
Fa Ming said, "Exactly. There isn’t a single person here who isn’t afraid, especially when they know they are walking to certain death!"
"What do you an?" Ye Fan asked, confused. The more Fa Ming spoke, the more cryptic he beca. Ye Fan felt a growing sense of unease, a premonition that sothing was terribly wrong.
