The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings-Chapter 525 - 473: The Terrifying Old Heavenly Master!

Chapter 525: Chapter 473: The Terrifying Old Heavenly Master!

Zhang Chengzhou was not surprised by the fact that the old Heavenly Master had revealed his strength at the fourth level of the Spirit Realm, as he had speculated it from his opponent’s move earlier.

Moreover, even if his opponent had luckily broken into the fourth level of the Spirit Realm, with his own strength, he could easily suppress him.

“Is that so?” Old Heavenly Master chuckled lightly, and made his move decisively.

In an instant, it seemed like the roars of dragons and tigers resonated around him, breaking free like shackles being smashed, and his whole person was like a towering mountain, standing proudly and immovable.

With a simultaneous clap of his palms, the fingerprints transformed into a dragon and a tiger, roaring and howling as they rushed towards Zhang Chengzhou.

Boom!

The principle of the old Heavenly Master was, if you want to make a move, don’t hesitate at all.

Everyone could feel the terror radiating from these embodied dragons and tigers.

Zhang Chengzhou watched as these tigers and dragons, transformed into tangible forms, exerted an overwhelming power. Opening their wide bloody mouths, they seemed to want to swallow him whole.

He stood still, allowing the relentless gusts of wind to sweep over him, but they didn’t cause him to budge an inch.

“Merely parlor tricks!”

Zhang Chengzhou sneered, lifted his hand, and a talisman light flickered on his body, as he delivered a powerful palm strike.

A talisman formed in his hand, gathering countless Heaven and Earth Essence Qi and howled out, carrying a great momentum.

Boom!

The collision of the two released a terrifying power that caused the entire hall to shake and the stone slabs under their feet to continuously crack.

However, the outcome of this clash was unexpectedly even. Zhang Chengzhou, with his fifth level of the Spirit Realm, was battling the old Heavenly Master’s fourth level, and he did not gain an overwhelming advantage.

A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, seemingly unsure how the old Heavenly Master could match him tit-for-tat.

But the old Heavenly Master did not give him any extra time to think. He suddenly threw a punch, with his splendid Blood Qi bubbling, the powerful momentum of his fist tore through everything in its path. The constant sound of the air exploding was deafening, all accompanied by his terrifying punch, carrying the power to destroy everything, and surging towards Zhang Chengzhou.

In the eyes of others, it looked as if the Heavenly River was pouring down, and it was unstoppable. The massive and agitated water of the Heavenly River surged in an instant, seeming to want to engulf Zhang Chengzhou.

“Body Refiner!”

Zhang Chengzhou felt the horrific physical power the old Heavenly Master exuded at this moment, and couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

At this moment, he finally understood why he had been on par with the opponent earlier.

This man had actually cultivated the way of body refining, and had also stepped into the Spirit Realm. Although he was only at the first level of the Spirit Realm, such a formidable physical power was extremely terrifying.

“Why are you cultivating the way of body refining!” Zhang Chengzhou asked him while operating his Primordial Qi and forming a talisman to confront him.

Why indeed?

Dragon Tiger Mountain belongs to the Taoist School, primarily cultivating the Path of Qi Refinement. There are indeed some skills of the Way of Essence Refinement that hone and refine the physical body, but they are only practiced by those without talent within the school, crude enforcers and such.

As a direct descendant of Dragon Tiger Mountain, and a former Heavenly Master, why would he spend so much time cultivating such a skill?

“You don’t understand!” sighed the Old Heavenly Master.

Opponents like Zhang Chengzhou are in the Sky Wasteland, a world filled with abundant Heaven and Earth Essence Qi. The Heaven and Earth posed no constraints on cultivators, as long as they persevered in their cultivation and had enough talent, they could continue to make steady progress.

He did not understand the hardships of martial artists living in the Daming World. The constraints of Heaven and Earth were like shackles tightly binding every First-grade martial artist. When they reached the peak of the First-grade, they would find that it wasn’t their lack of talent preventing them from breaking through, but the constraints of Heaven and Earth. How painful that realization was.

Take the old Heavenly Master himself, for instance, he stepped into the First-grade realm before reaching the age of fifty, but he couldn’t possibly break into the Spirit Realm in the next nearly two hundred years due to the constraints of Heaven and Earth.

And in order not to fall behind others and to enhance his own strength, he thought of countless methods, and decided resolutely to cultivate the way of body refining after reading the classics. He also cultivated it to the point of reaching the First-grade realm.

That’s why he was able to match Pei Xuanjing with his formidable physical strength when they previously clashed on Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Although he didn’t have an analogy device like Pei Xuanjing, the old Heavenly Master had ample time and spent a full one hundred and fifty years to cultivate his physical realm to this point.

Therefore, Zhang Chengzhou and others simply did not understand the hardships and tempering the high-level practitioners in the Daming World had undergone. The competition they experienced was countless times more intense than that of their counterparts in the Sky Wasteland. After all, there are limited top resources and positions. They had no recourse, if they lost, they could no longer move forward.

These people were not lacking in talent or experience, they were merely limited by the constraints of Heaven and Earth, which prevented them from advancing too far on the path of cultivation. They would be unparalleled if placed in the Sky Wasteland.

And now, with the constraints of Heaven and Earth broken and the world starting to rejuvenate, these strong practitioners can make a breakthrough smoothly. And in the Spirit Realm, they can make rapid progress and raise their realm within a few years.

Originally, with the strength and talent of the old Heavenly Master, he could have broken through quickly, but the reason why he was delayed for so long was that he sought not only to make a breakthrough in the way of Qi Refinement but also to step into the Spirit Realm in the way of Essence Refinement.

Afterward, through several discussions with Pei Xuanjing, he learned that Pei Xuanjing was cultivating the three ways of Essence, Qi, and Spirit simultaneously. Given the pride of such a strong practitioner like the old Heavenly Master, even if he was temporarily surpassed by Pei Xuanjing, he was not willing to lag behind and naturally researched the way of Spirit Refinement.

While speaking, his punch had already landed. This punch combined the old Heavenly Master’s terrifying physical strength and the power of Primordial Qi. Although his cultivation in the Way of Spirit Refinement was not very high, he unexpectedly condensed a Divine Soul.

When the three powers of Essence, Qi, and Spirit exploded together, the strength displayed was far less than Pei Xuanjing’s original power, but it was more than enough to suppress a Zhang Chengzhou who had underestimated him.

Bang!

The terrifying power shattered the talisman in front of his eyes like puncturing paper, and landed heavily on his body.

Of course, such a terrifying power also triggered the protective treasure on Zhang Chengzhou’s body. A golden light erupted from his body. This power was aimed at the old Heavenly Master, and it seemed to want to shred him.

Even the old Heavenly Master was shocked by this power. He knew that with his current strength, trying to resist this power was undoubtedly like blocking a cart with a mantis’s arm.

Just as he was preparing to fight to the death, he suddenly noticed that the golden light seemed to have a soul, and instantly calmed down when it touched him. The golden light enveloped the old Heavenly Master, and his entire body emitted a faint golden glow.

This sudden change stunned many people.
