Chapter 48: Cultivation

  These things that happened in the Wu family, Wu Yeru naturally didn't know. This kid had already started his nightly internal skill cultivation and didn't have the mind to care about these trivial matters. Even if the Wu family became the Wu family ruins because of this kid's reason, it would still be the same. After all, those people didn't have evidence to say that they did it themselves, and now everyone's attention was already focused on those assassins. With Wu Yeru's character and integrity, he naturally wasn't noble enough to find trouble for himself when there was none.

  Now this kid has figured it out, why among the many types of cultivation methods in the human race, only internal skill is worth money and irreplaceable. That's because internal strength is the foundation of everything, the source of power, and a martial artist without internal strength can't even take a step. It's like Linghu Chong in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, without corresponding internal energy to match, even if he learned the Nine Swords of Dugu, it would be useless, and after a few moves, he would collapse from exhaustion, bitter and confused, and some moves couldn't even be used. So, a good internal skill is the source of power, the foundation for self-improvement.

  Wu Ye Yu is currently practicing the "Xuan Xu Zhen Jing" of the Dan Tai family, which is a pretty good internal skill. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been coveted by various major forces when the Dan Tai clan was destroyed. Although that enthusiasm has now died down, if someone were to mention the name "Xuan Xu Zhen Jing" at this time, it would definitely attract the attention of those with ulterior motives in no time.

  Wu Ye Yu's current realm is a mid-level sword cultivator, corresponding to the "Xuanxu True Classic" which has been cultivated to the fifth layer of the foundation-building chapter. Each major boundary of sword cultivation corresponds to three layers of the foundation-building chapter. The "Xuanxu True Classic" foundation-building chapter has a total of nine layers, meaning that only three major boundaries can be cultivated: sword disciples, sword cultivators, and sword soldiers. In other words, these three major boundaries are considered the foundational part of sword cultivation.

  In the realm of human cultivation, as long as one is a personal cultivator, no matter how poor their innate talent or how inferior their cultivation method, as long as they are willing to put in effort and persist in their endeavors, there will come a day when they will complete the three realms of cultivation. The differences between people lie only in the length of time it takes, and relatively speaking, the foundation-building stage does not require the consumption of spiritual medicines, making this stage somewhat more fair.

  However, from the third boundary, that is, the Sword Soldier Boundary, wanting to make another breakthrough is not so easy. The gap between the sword soldier and the sword long is an important standard for measuring a person's achievement in this life.

  Don't just look at it as a small separation, the difference between them is not only in their abilities, but also represents their status and benefits within the human tribe, and even more so, an upgrade in the quality of the internal cultivation of Qi.

  In other words, the energy inside Jian Bing and Jian Chang's bodies are both called "Ji Qi", but in reality, their properties have already had a fundamental difference. A single slash of Jian Chang's Ji Qi can easily shatter Jian Bing's Ji Qi, while Jian Bing's Ji Qi often can't even break through Jian Chang's defensive guard, this is the gap between them.

  The gap between the swordsmen and the sword masters is very important, and some people jokingly call it "the boundary between ants and humans". Although the words are unpleasant to hear, they clearly convey the meaning that if you can break through, then you are human, but if you cannot break through, then you will forever be just an ant. As a human, you can look down on ants or even ignore them, even if they were your fellow disciples or comrades in arms from before.

  In the entire clan, more than half of the people are unable to break through this limit, which means that these people may only be able to be a small soldier for their whole lives. Even if they had a precious identity before, or came from a good family, they would still be looked down upon by others from the bottom of their hearts. Of course, if there is an ancestor in the family who has made great contributions, that's a different story. Others may show respect on the surface, but what they think in their hearts is another matter altogether.

  This world is just so realistic, or whatever world it is, they are all like this, only the standards of measurement between them are different.

  The corresponding three major realms of Jian Chang, Jian Shi, and Jian Jiang are also the case. This is a human stage, and these three major realms themselves are a big hurdle. The boundaries between them become more and more distinct, and if you want to break through, the difficulty level will be one layer more difficult than the other, and the effort required will not be just simple hard work.

  If it's not a talented person, then wanting to make a breakthrough requires a large amount of elixirs and treasures to assist, otherwise the opportunity is very slim. To describe it in an unrefined way, the barrier between the three realms is like the membrane surrounding a sperm, although one can vaguely see the road ahead and knows that the target is in front, but no matter how hard the sperm tries, it's difficult to break through that transparent gel-like layer. There are rumors of several methods that allow people to bypass and make breakthroughs, but those are extremely precious things, and the people who possess them will definitely not share them with the public. Moreover, talking about bypassing, the time wasted is also relatively long.

  In the human race, eight or nine out of ten cultivators stopped at this stage, and those who wanted to break through from Sword General to Sword King were not comparable to the previous great realm. Only a very small number of people in the human race had the opportunity or encounter to make a breakthrough, and these people, regardless of whether they were righteous or evil, light or dark, or belonged to different forces, were all famous for their shocking talents.

  Just like Wu Ye Yu's cheap old man Wu Zong Yue, although he is now quietly hiding in a small town of Qing Shui, but when he was young, he was also a young master who often traveled between states, and would occasionally go abroad to visit other human nations. He even formed a team to explore the realm outside of humanity, but later gave up due to some things that delayed him.

  Why did the other families in the town tolerate Wu Zongyue taking root here? Why were they willing to live under the Wu family, which had just been established for less than a few decades? The reason is that it was due to their strength.

  The original number one master in the town was Zhang Daren from the government office, who was a high-ranking sword general himself. His strength was naturally not as good as Wu Zongyue's. Since Wu Zongyue settled in Qing Shui Town, he willingly handed over the right to speak for the town to the Wu family and became a marginal figure, not managing anything, spending his days either cultivating at home or leading his own guard team to hunt and kill monsters in the monster forest, trying to find an opportunity to break through. However, it's likely that even Zhang Daren himself understood that he would probably spend the rest of his life living in such a stifling way, as breaking through this barrier was just too difficult!

  So, the boundary between Sword and Sword King is also a threshold, even more so than the previous one, like a horizontal sky moat, blocking the footsteps of the vast majority of cultivators. This layer of boundary is called "Tian Ren Zhi Ge" (Heavenly Human Boundary), a true chasm that even the most outstanding figures from before may stumble and fall here, never to rise again.

  Previously, Wu Ye Yu was afraid that he had killed so many swordsmen from the assassin's camp and would be resented by the people behind the scenes. Why? It's because of this reason that the Sword General and others are still okay to say, but among the cultivators, although they are not yet at the level of being caught off guard, there are also a considerable number of them. However, the sword kings are different, each one has gone through layers of checkpoints, step by step climbing up to become a high-ranking expert, each one is a great opportunity, losing one would be painful, suddenly killing nine of them at once, it's estimated that anyone would go crazy.

  After that, the arrival of the Sword God expert made Wu Ye Yu feel relieved. Anyway, it's all about being ruthless, whether it's one person or nine people. If you come again with something even more vicious, I guess it'll be like that too. Even if the enemy's forces are stronger, can't you still kill me nine times? Besides, as long as no one is left alive at the end, who would know whether it was done by myself or the Wu family?

  The strongest of the Wu family is only a mid-level Sword King, Wu Zongyue. Just one person, no matter how fierce, will definitely not be able to defeat nine Sword Kings. Taking a step back, even if they can't win, shouldn't there be some room for negotiation? Moreover, now there's an additional high-ranking expert at the level of a Sword Emperor.

  So now the Wu family has become relatively safe, because no one will believe that these people were killed by the Wu family, let alone a ten-year-old kid. They will only think that it must be the doing of the Wen family, and even that Old Master Wen may not have left at all, but rather intentionally led his own masters to their deaths. This is the only reasonable explanation, as the saying goes: "When the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up."

  Of course, there is a flaw in this, that is, the noise made by Wu Ye Yu was too loud, and actually a bomb flattened the Wu house. If Old Master Yu of the Wen family had been present at the time, it's clear that this wouldn't have happened. After all, even if you let those assassins demolish the house, they would still need some time to do so. However, this is just a minor flaw, and compared to the previous one, it doesn't matter much.

  The three realms of Sword King, Sword Emperor, and Sword Saint can also be summarized into one major stage. The difficulty of breaking through is vastly different, and the heavenly and earthly spirits have become completely relegated to supporting roles. Each breakthrough requires not only combat experience but also epiphany, constantly sensing the heavens and communicating with oneself, from which one must derive their own path.

  Here is the translation:

  "Taking Sword Cultivation as an example, the human race has a vast and complex array of cultivation types, but there are also systematic methods for regulating them. The rest, such as Spirit Cultivators, Disciples, Yuan Masters, Dan Medicine Practitioners, etc., although they have different names and understandings of power, in terms of their realm, they all tend towards the same ultimate goal."

  The "Xuanxu True Classic" cultivated by Wu Yeru is a complete set of skills, including the foundation chapter from sword apprentice to sword soldier, the intermediate chapter from sword general to sword commander, and the advanced chapter from sword king to sword emperor. The book contains more than 10,000 words, with many annotations and explanations left by the ancestors of the Dantai family, making it invaluable. If Wu Yeru were to release news that he possesses this skill, he would likely be kidnapped immediately, followed by endless rounds of robbery, resale, and re-kidnapping.

  At that time, Xiaopang was able to recite such a long and complex ancient text of 10,000 words, which was also quite difficult for him. It is estimated that this has a lot to do with the relationship between Langtai Mingyu, but in the end, it was fortunate for himself. As soon as he arrived in the other world, his mind could have such good kung fu practice, and it can be said that his blessings were deep.
