Then, Ling Xiaozui closed the door before he turned his head, in sync with Dugu Chou. Their four eyes stared at Yun Yang without blinking, their gazes wild, like perverts lusting over a beauty.

Yun Yang was shocked. "What do you want to do? Why are you looking at me like that?" He hurriedly checked his person to see if anything was amiss.

Ling Xiaozui said with a smile, "Young brother, you have advanced significantly from this fated chance! I see that your temperament has changed as well, your state of mind is closer to perfection. it looks like you have found incredible joy, an event worthy of celebration!"

Dugu Chou laughed as well, despite a wash of surprise that flashed across his gaze.

These two men had obviously restrained themselves with much difficulty from asking the question while they were on their way back.

Others might not have seen it, but Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou? No matter how Yun Yang concealed his cultivation base or restored to himself to purity, how could the two of them not notice his skyrocketing progress?

Yun Yang chortled as well, mulling over his choice of words and way of speaking.

"Young brother, you must have something you want to ask if you have followed us all the way. Is it very important?" asked Ling Xiaozui.

"Yes, it is indeed." Yun Yang admitted honestly.

Dugu Chou chuckled as well. "You have been silent all the way and your cultivation base advancement is shocking. I believe you must've experienced some unique turn of fortune, but you didn't share the happiness with your loved ones immediately. Obviously, you must be troubled by something important. Perhaps it's related to your close one as well?"

"Senior Dugu is wise and sharp indeed," Yun Yang said, impressed.

"Is it regarding the cultivation base?" Ling Xiaozui asked with a grin.

"Yes."

"The last time I came, I perceived the oddity in the girl's cultivation base. Firstly, it's unbelievable; secondly, it's unimaginable. Now that you have put it out in the open…" Ling Xiaozui said, "Ask whatever you want to know. If the two of us can't even answer the mysteries and questions of cultivation in this world, I believe no one else can."

This was simply the unexaggerated truth.

Yun Yang pondered, sorting through his thoughts, and finally spoke, "Actually, what boggles me isn't a difficult matter… It's more or less regarding the particular categorization of our cultivation realm and level."

There was a pause before he continued. "Based on the example of common cultivators, it can be said that they have already arrived at the pinnacle when they can reach the summit of peak realm. However, this realm is only a beginner's standard to proficient cultivators. When one achieves the pinnacle of the heaven realm, there's still the Dao realm. Initially, these are advanced levels that this junior has never touched nor imagined but now, not only has this junior ascended to the pinnacle of ninth Dao realm due to fate and circumstance, I've even gone past it. Yet, the pinnacle of Dao realm is already the limit of Tianxuan Continent's cultivators. There is no level higher, even in rumors or myths."

"I've recalled all the past experiences about this, especially historical legends. The cultivation base of the super experts in those legends obviously did not stop at this standard. Like the Seventeenth Master of the Abyss and others, they were not of what the level of ninth Dao realm cultivation base could cover."

"I mentioned just now that due to the quirk of fate, my cultivation base has exceeded the ninth Dao realm and entered a new realm. However, this junior has no idea what sort of a realm that is - in other words, what is the future path of my cultivation journey?"

Yun Yang spoke respectfully, "I ask for help from both seniors to resolve my doubts."

Dugu Chou and Ling Xiaozui chortled in unison upon hearing what Yun Yang said. Reminiscence flashed across their eyes as they remembered their youth.

The doubts Yun Yang was having right now was exactly what they had encountered in the past. Meeting Yun Yang's gaze again, their own eyes could not help being tinged with the colors of envy.

Back then, the same doubt had gnawed at them for many, many years. Now, Yun Yang had just achieved his breakthrough and there were already the two of them waiting to resolve his queries.

It was like everything had been prearranged given how things had just unfolded so smoothly without any hitch.

Such destiny and chance.. the elder men would be lying to themselves if they were to say that they were not envious! Yun Yang was simply too lucky!

"Let me tell the tale then." Ling Xiaozui spoke after Dugu Chou's signal to proceed when he looked at him.

Yun Yang was the one to shout for a pause. "Wait a minute, there's someone else who needs to listen to this…"

He rushed out, pulling Ji Lingxi in hurriedly.

Ji Lingxi was practicing by herself outside, so she was caught unaware by Yun Yang. Being hauled into the room like she was a chick, she lashed out angrily without being mindful of the situation, "You -"

Just as she was about to teach him a lesson, she caught a glimpse of the two personages, Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou, looking at her with knowing grins. She could not help being flustered, her lifted arm suddenly losing the sense of direction and aim.

"Sit down quickly. Listen to these two seniors about the cultivation levels. Haven't you been bugged by the higher cultivation level issue?" Yun Yang instructed curtly pointing to a chair.

Since he made a breakthrough, Yun Yang suddenly felt overwhelmingly confident of his capability and had since returned to his stance of "your brother has placed you under my care".

Hearing this tone that had been long absent, Ji Lingxi's rage bubbled and simmered. She suppressed it by rolling her eyes, but still perked up her ears to listen well. Evidently, the issue of higher level cultivation was still the plague that bothered her the most now.

Ling Xiaozui began his speech when everyone was seated.

"The so-called cultivation begins from the dantian. Driven by the Qi of heaven and earth, it courses through the nine orifices and thirteen meridians of the human body before melting into the individual to be used. I believe you all know this basic information. It's the foundation for all cultivators. I'll refrain from elaborating too much."

"Any cultivator in Tianxuan Continent starts with mystical Qi once they begin their journey. The origin of mystical Qi was explained by a sage, 'The door to the way of life is mystical. Therefore, the Qi of this heaven and earth is called mystical Qi'."

Ling Xiaozui's words easily resolved Yun Yang's doubt.

"All cultivators assume that they're better than others, so are their abilities that are incomparable to the common man. Based on this point, cultivators label their cultivation method and realm with exceptional exaggeration. Since unknown years ago, they've been called peak realm, heaven realm, and Dao realm. This is how the saying 'go through one peak after another, see one heaven after another; step onto the path to Dao, one sees the nine heavens again' comes by."

Yun Yang nodded to indicate his comprehension. Ling Xiaozui's words were simple and short, but it captured the cultivation journey of Tianxuan's cultivators precisely.

Ji Lingxi began thinking, recalling her cultivation journey, and mumbled, "So this is how it is, I see…"

"However, the journey of cultivation is vast, its length unknown. How can it stop at only these three realms? The so-called pinnacle of this world is but the pinnacle of Tianxuan Continent's cultivators. It was never the pinnacle of cultivation!"
