Chapter 277: Fifty Years Later
Since the end of the invasion of the Stygian Sea, the Stygian Sea has returned to peaceful times. In these fifty years, Dragon Slayer Island has not changed much. The Dragon Slaying Palace, the owner of Dragon Slaying Island, closed the Dragon Slaying Hall and forbade any cultivators from entering and leaving, even Dragon Slaying Island cultivators who had entered the transcendent realm over the years were not allowed to enter the Dragon Slaying Palace. Another powerful existence on Dragon Slaying Island, the cultivators of Qinglong Island, Judgment Island, and Dragon Pattern Island led by Li Hui and Li Ao, were still in the Blue Dragon Array, and they had been waiting for this opportunity to destroy the Dragon Slaying Palace. It's a pity that since the last failed attack on the Dragon Slayer Palace, the Dragon Slayer Hall no longer gave them a chance. Li Hui and Li Ao did not find a chance to destroy the Dragon Slayer Palace, but they did not give up and still did not return to their respective islands. The current spiritual power of Dragon Slaying Island is far purer than that of their own island. Although the cultivators of the Qinglong Island, the Judgment Hall, and the Dragon Pattern Hall led by Li Hui and Li Ao did not find the opportunity to attack the Dragon Slaying Hall again, in the past fifty years, whether it was the cultivators of the Qinglong Island, or the Judgment Palace, and the cultivators of the Dragon Pattern Palace, the realm strength at this time was no longer what it used to be.
Not only has the realm strength of the cultivators led by Li Hui and Li Ao improved significantly, but the cultivators who originally participated in the Eastern Crusade have also improved their respective realms a lot after these fifty years.
The same is true for the cultivators of Vermilion Bird Island and White Tiger Island, in the past fifty years, most of the cultivators of Vermilion Bird Island and White Tiger Island have ascended to the realm of feathering, and there are even extremely prominent cultivators who have entered the transcendent realm.
Several of us, Zhu Zhou, Zhu Ling, Bai Jing, Huang Yan, Sun Hu, Hui Hui, everyone's strength realm entered the transcendent Great Perfection realm many years ago. It is precisely because of their experience of fighting with Transcendent Dzogchen Realm practitioners that they can understand the spiritual power of the Transcendent Dzogchen Realm and have the opportunity to understand the difference between the cultivators of the Transcendent Dzogchen Realm.
"It's not easy, it's finally catching up with me. β
Huang Yan was the first cultivator to enter the Transcendent Great Perfection realm among several people, and with Huang Yan's experience, it would be much easier for Zhu Zhou, Zhu Ling and the others to follow. Although the realm of several people is the same as Huang Yan now, Huang Yan is the first to enter the realm of transcendent great perfection, which is where Huang Yan is most proud.
"What's the difference, now we're all the same, what else do you have to be proud of. β
Zhu Zhou was bullied by Huang Yan the most in the past, and now his realm has finally caught up with Huang Yan, and now Huang Yan still wants to use his realm to hit himself, of course Zhu Zhou will not be happy.
"Do you understand that the first attainer is a teacher, and without me entering the Transcendent Great Perfection Realm first, can you reach the Transcendent Great Perfection Realm so easily?"
Huang Yan shot back disdainfully.
"Look at you. β
Zhu Zhou couldn't stand Huang Yan's narcissism and complained.
"Hey, it's so boring, it turns out that the master is so lonely, it turns out that the master is so boring. β
After Huang Yan and the others entered the Transcendent Great Perfection realm, it was almost impossible to further improve their respective realms, and over the years, you have also figured out that above the Stygian Sea, the highest realm is the Transcendent Great Perfection Realm, and the cultivators who have surpassed the Transcendent Great Perfection Realm and entered another realm above the Stygian Sea have not heard of it. Therefore, the current Zhu Zhou will sigh for the boredom after entering the realm of transcendent great perfection. Since Zhu Zhou entered the Transcendent Great Perfection realm, he has no goal of cultivation and no direction of cultivation.
For practitioners, entering the path of cultivation is to pursue the improvement of their own cultivation realm, which is like a day for ten years, a hundred years, or a thousand years. After 10 years, 100 years, or 1,000 years of practice, there are very few practitioners who can reach the final journey. Even if they can cultivate to the current realm of Huang Yan and others, there are very few cultivators. Huang Yan, Zhu Zhou and the others are now in the Extraordinary Great Perfection Realm, which is already an existence that can dominate the Stygian Sea. Among the countless cultivators in the Stygian Sea, the cultivators who can have the opportunity to come to this realm are all selected from one in ten thousand, and only one in ten thousand can have such an opportunity and have the opportunity to enter the peak of the Stygian Sea cultivators. More practitioners will stay at a certain stage and will never have the opportunity to move forward in their lives.
"No, how do you know that the Transcendent Great Perfection Realm is the ultimate path for cultivators, why can't we transcend the Transcendent Great Perfection Realm?"
Huang Yan glanced at Zhu Zhou with disdain and said.
"Since the beginning of the Styx, the transcendent realm has been the highest realm of human cultivators, and above this Stygian Sea, since the birth of the Stygian Sea, I have never heard of a cultivator who has transcended the transcendent realm. β
Zhu Zhou retorted.
"Oh, naΓ―ve, ignorant. β
Huang Yan said disdainfully.
"What's the matter, can you still cultivate to a higher realm than the Transcendent Great Perfection Realm?"
Zhu Zhou retorted.
"As cultivators, all we seek is to transcend ourselves, even if we are all in the Extraordinary Great Perfection Realm now, there are still differences between us, just take me and you now, we are both in the Transcendent Great Perfection Realm, but there is still a difference in the strength of the realm between us. These differences may not be very big for many practitioners, and they may not even affect the final result. But what is certain is that our current realm has not reached the end, and we still have room to continue to improve. Since we still have room for improvement, how can you conclude that the transcendent realm is the end?"
If he usually messes around, Huang Yan will definitely not be so serious, but for cultivation, Huang Yan's attitude is completely different, and Huang Yan said extremely seriously at this moment.
"I agree with you, agree with you. β
After 50 years of retreat, my realm finally reached a level that I could recognize, and as soon as I finished the retreat, I heard about the conversation between Huang Yan and Zhu Zhou.
"Boss, you can come out, you are too ruthless, after so many years of retreat, we haven't seen each other for so many years, don't you want us?"
My appearance really surprised Huang Yan and the others, and since I entered the retreat, I have never come out again, and have been staying in my own retreat. I've been immersed in my own other world, and I don't know exactly how long it has been. I found out afterwards that I had spent so long on this retreat.
"You're right. β
I walked over and glanced at Huang Yan approvingly and said.
"Of course, it doesn't matter who said it. Hahahaγγγγγγ β
Huang Yan glanced at Zhu Zhou proudly.
"Oh, your realms are all transcendent Great Perfection realms?"
I glanced at the current realm of the few people. Unexpectedly, the realms of several people were already in the realm of extraordinary great perfection.
"These stinky boys, after entering the Transcendent Great Perfection realm, have no enterprising spirit and no longer work hard to cultivate, and I am now teaching them a lesson for the boss. β
Huang Yan hurriedly said again.
"Why don't you have an enterprising spirit, why don't you work hard to cultivate?"
I asked, confused.
"They think that the transcendent realm is the end of the practitioner, and they feel that there is no motivation to move forward and no goal of cultivation. β
Huang Yan said again.
"Is the transcendent realm the end of a cultivator?"
I asked rhetorically.
"Yes, Boss, I have never heard of a cultivator above the Immortal Realm in the Underworld. β
Zhu Zhou said on the side.
"I see. β
This is the first time I've heard about the highest level of Stygian Sea practitioners.
"Don't trust him, Boss. He's just lazy, he just doesn't want to work hard anymore. β
Huang Yan hurriedly said beside him.
Huang Yan was worried that I was gullible in Zhu Zhou, and I, like Zhu Zhou and others, no longer worked hard to cultivate.
"I didn't lie to you, that's the case, I don't believe you ask Zhu Ling and Bai Jing. β
Zhu Zhou hurriedly argued, and carried Zhu Ling and Bai Jing out.
"This is indeed the case above the Styx, and the Stygian Sea has never heard of a cultivator who has transcended the transcendent realm. In the past, when our realm strength was not enough, I was also convinced of this, but now my opinion is the same as that of Brother Huang Yan. Ever since I entered the transcendent realm, I can feel that this is not my final point. So now I am convinced that there is a greater realm above the transcendental. β
Zhu Ling expressed his feelings.
When Zhu Linggang said that this was indeed the case, Zhu Zhou still had an expression, you see, I'm not wrong. But Zhu Ling's next words also made him feel something.
After Zhu Zhou himself entered the Transcendent Great Perfection realm, he had always had some doubts, but he was convinced of the rumors of the Stygian Sea, so he didn't think much about it and put his doubts aside. But now, with the enlightenment of Zhu Ling and Huang Yan, the previous doubts have resurfaced.
"That's what I think, too. I also think that there is a realm after the extraordinary. β
Bai Jing also said on the side.
"Now you understand, you're just complacent. β
Huang Yan patted Zhu Zhou, who was in doubt beside him, and said.
Zhu Zhou did not react to Huang Yan's slapping of himself.
"I said you kidγγγγγγ β
Huang Yan saw that Zhu Zhou didn't react, and was about to complain again, when I interrupted: "He is now in a state of concentration, let him think for himself." β
"This kid, there is still this opportunityγγγγγγ β
After my reminder, Huang Yan also reacted, glanced at Zhu Zhou enviously and said softly.
Entering the meditation is an extremely rare encounter for any cultivator, but I didn't expect Zhu Zhou to enter the state of meditation because of a few arguments, how could this make Huang Yan envious.
"We all stepped aside and didn't disturb him. β
I continued.
My words were still as valid as ever, and after I finished speaking, everyone quietly meditated and practiced in place, and this time Zhuzhou entered a state of concentration. Although the other people did not enter the state of determination, they also understood why Zhuzhou entered the state of determination. So they also have a goal in this meditation, they want to figure out what is behind the transcendent realm.
