Li Mu Bai was genuinely curious about his own realm at this moment.
Although he had obtained the meditation technique taught by Qing Ping Sword, there was no mention of realm divisions in the technique.
Therefore, he could only rely on his previous memories to assess his situation.
“If I remember correctly, when I first read this book, I knew there were fifteen realms.”
“And there were two main types of divisions, cultivation realm and martial arts.”
“Although there were military cultivator, Confucian cultivator, and Buddhist cultivator divisions within the cultivation realm, the cultivation system was roughly the same, divided into lower five realms, middle five realms, and upper five realms.”
“The lower five realms, during the cultivation process, were also called the Five Realms of Mountain Climbing, primarily involving drawing upon the Heavenly and Earthly Qi outside the human body to nourish the body, strengthen the physique, and induce extraordinary transformations in the body.”
“When I meditated on Qing Ping Sword, it seemed like I had drawn Heavenly and Earthly Qi into my body, and my physique had undergone a drastic transformation. Could it be that I had already gone through the tempering of the lower five realms?”
“Furthermore, I remember the first stage was the Copper Skin Realm, the second stage was the Grass Roots Realm, the third stage was the Willow Tendon Realm, the fourth stage was the Bone Strength Realm, and the fifth stage was the Forging Furnace Realm, or the Building Abode Realm.”
“These realms primarily tempered the sinews, bones, skin, blood, and flesh, then integrated the body's qi and blood and strength into one, treating the body as a refining furnace.”
“To be honest, although this is a cultivator's realm, it's also a solid foundation for martial arts cultivation in some martial arts novels, except this kind of cultivation primarily uses the Heavenly and Earthly Qi outside the body for tempering. Also, I remember that in the Eternal Life world, before the early stage of Qi cultivation, they also followed this routine.”
“However, in this current world, only after reaching the fifth stage can one be considered half a step into the realm of Qi cultivation.”
“Therefore, looking at this situation, my body was transformed by the sword qi, my sinews, bones, skin, blood, and flesh were all tempered, and a sword qi condensed within my body. It's actually possible that I have crossed the lower five realms.”
“But isn't this too frivolous? A sword qi directly crosses them? Without me even experiencing the foundation myself. Or could it be, because the meditation technique is different, I am still actually only at the first stage, just taking a different path?”
Li Mu Bai’s eyes flickered, his thoughts becoming more and more confused.
But he only doubted for a moment, then thought of something else: “Maybe I can try to absorb the Heavenly and Earthly Qi into my body and store it in the acupoints to see if I have crossed the lower five realms.”
“After all, in this current world, once you cross the lower five realms and step into the Cave Realm, you can absorb Heavenly and Earthly Qi and store it in the acupoints of your body.”
“In the cultivation system of this world, the body has three hundred and sixty-five acupoints, which are equivalent to having three hundred and sixty-five caves of fortune. The more caves you open, the larger the space, the thicker the Heavenly and Earthly Qi stored, and the stronger the power.”
Thinking of this, Li Mu Bai didn’t hesitate for a moment.
With a move of his body, he disappeared from where he was.
One step forward, he had already appeared thousands of meters away, which was very astonishing to ordinary people.
However, his step wasn’t a straight line, but in the air.
Because if he were to go in a straight line, there would be trees everywhere, and with one step forward, like a rocket instantly launching, he would smash many trees and wild animals in an instant.
Don’t ask Li Mu Bai how he knew.
The answer is that he had just tried it.
It was just that when he tried it, he only smashed the trees within a hundred meters before stopping.
As he moved, he quickly reached the top of a large tree.
There, on the trunk of the tree, Zhi Gui stood there with a complex expression.
The reason she stood so high was that she was waiting for Li Mu Bai here.
Since she couldn't catch up with Li Mu Bai, she naturally had to find a prominent place to stay so that when Master returned to find her, she could be found.
As Li Mu Bai's current personal maid, Zhi Gui still had this kind of eyesight.
“Master.”
Seeing Li Mu Bai step forward and land beside her, Zhi Gui quickly greeted Li Mu Bai respectfully.
“Don’t waste words, come with me.”
Li Mu Bai didn’t say a word, directly grabbed Zhi Gui’s waist, then stepped on the trunk, launched himself from there, and appeared thousands of meters away. He continued to launch several more times.
He quickly entered the depths of the deep mountains and forests.
When he reappeared, he was on a huge platform on a remote mountainside.
Li Mu Bai thought this place was good, suitable for cultivation, and chose this place.
After arriving, Li Mu Bai let go of Zhi Gui and said, “Go to the side and protect my cultivation. I need to cultivate.”
“Yes, Master!”
Zhi Gui nodded and walked away.
After walking a short distance, she stopped, turned her head, and looked at Li Mu Bai who was already sitting cross-legged, with great curiosity.
Zhi Gui’s eyes were shining at this moment.
Li Mu Bai was full of secrets in her eyes now.
She really wanted to see how Li Mu Bai cultivated, what it would look like.
Li Mu Bai ignored Zhi Gui’s gaze.
After sitting down cross-legged, he closed his eyes and sensed the surrounding Heavenly and Earthly Qi.
He clearly perceived that there was a lot of dense Heavenly and Earthly Qi around his body.
Li Zhu Cave Heaven, it seems like it can’t let people cultivate, everyone who comes here will be sealed off in terms of strength.
But in reality, this place, as a Cave of Fortune, has many treasures from the Ancient Heavenly Court.
The Heavenly and Earthly Qi here is much denser than many cultivation sects.
However, usually no one can draw these Heavenly and Earthly Qi into their body.
Or it can be said that because of the rules, even if they enter the body, they don’t produce any significant effects.
