Chapter 401: Chapter 401: Mortal Realm and The Third Realm

“Jiang old man, is this how you treat your guests?”

Li Xiaoyao’s words left the disciples stunned; this youngster actually dared to directly address the Sect Leader by name, truly reckless.

“Shut up, how dare you disrespect the Sect Leader?” The third disciple’s eyes nearly popped out of his head, angrily rebuking.

Jiang Lichun furrowed his brows and barked, “Yuan Li, stand down.”

Yuan Li was taken aback, then said incredulously, “Master, he…”

“I told you to stand down.” Jiang Lichun waved his hand with a hint of impatience and commanded, “Go change into your sect attire, and gather at the altar in two hours.”

Yuan Li opened his mouth as if to say something, but seeing Jiang Lichun’s stern expression, he immediately fell silent, bowed deeply, and turned to leave.

The other disciples didn’t understand the situation, but they could glean something from Jiang Lichun’s attitude, each internally surprised: Could it be that this young man really is an elder guest of the Xuan Sect? But he looks so young.

The disciples all dispersed, leaving only Li Xiaoyao and Nie Xiaoqian outside the spacious living room.

Jiang Lichun personally got up and walked to Li Xiaoyao, closely surveying him before expressing his surprise, “I’m finding it a bit harder to see through you now, have you broken through again?”

“Hmm.” Li Xiaoyao replied grumpily, “You knew I was coming yet didn’t notify me, were you trying to see me make a fool of myself?”

Jiang Lichun’s face showed a bit of embarrassment as he said, “I was discussing important matters, I simply forgot for a moment.”

“Forgot? Hah, what a good excuse.” Li Xiaoyao knew Jiang Lichun wouldn’t lie to him, but the recent incident still irked him.

After all, he held the status of an elder guest of the Xuan Sect, yet this status wasn’t as useful as he had imagined. The first time was in Jindu, where he ended up being toyed with by Liu Chengxiang, and this time, upon arriving directly at the Xuan Sect, he was coldly treated by two junior gatekeepers, eventually making a scene known to all the sect’s disciples.

Who could feel good about such treatment?

“Alright, alright, come in and let’s talk.” Admitting his fault, Jiang Lichun served tea and poured water for him, his mannerism surprising even Ye Qingcheng who was watching by the side.

She had never seen her Sect Leader senior brother treat anyone with such an attitude. In her memory, her senior brother had always been proud and, even when meeting his fellow senior brothers, he was always arrogant.

Jiang Lichun’s behavior caused Ye Qingcheng to take another look at Li Xiaoyao; however, no matter how she looked at him, Li Xiaoyao merely seemed to be a cultivator who had just entered the Qi Refining Realm, looking quite ordinary with no outstanding features.

Could he be a member of some legendary great family?

“Let me introduce you two. This is Ye Qingcheng, the current heir of the Xuan Sect’s ‘Ming’ lineage and also my fifth junior sister.” After introducing Ye Qingcheng, Jiang Lichun continued, “This is Li Xiaoyao, my sworn brother, and also an elder guest of the Xuan Sect. As for this… uh… youngster, why don’t you introduce yourself?”

“This is Miss Nie Xiaoqian, a good friend of mine,” Li Xiaoyao introduced shortly.

“Nie Xiaoqian?” Upon hearing this name, both were momentarily stunned, then they said with a smile, “Miss Xiaoqian’s temperament is indeed well-matched with her name.”

Jiang Lichun’s gaze swept over Nie Xiaoqian and discovered he couldn’t discern her cultivation level. He was not so foolish as to assume someone whose level he couldn’t perceive was just an ordinary person.

Nie Xiaoqian’s presence was restrained, and her every move exuded an indescribable charm. From this alone, Jiang Lichun could tell she was certainly not a mortal.

“You still haven’t told me, what is your current level of cultivation?” Compared to the others, Jiang Lichun was much more curious about Li Xiaoyao, viewing him as something of an anomaly.

After all, these days, he had continuously received news about Li Xiaoyao.

Even Li Shisan from the Li Family of Xuan Country died at his hands; Jiang Lichun did not believe this could simply be chalked up to luck.

Li Xiaoyao lifted his teacup and took a light sip, saying indifferently, “Still inferior to you by a bit, first stage of the Spirit Cultivation Realm.”

“What!” Jiang Lichun’s grip on the teacup slipped out of control, instantly crushing the cup to pieces, which clearly demonstrated the shock in his heart.

Ye Qingcheng was also stunned by Li Xiaoyao’s cultivation level. How old was he? Not even thirty?

At such an age, to have already reached the Spirit Cultivation Realm, how monstrously talented must one be?

As his mood gradually settled, Jiang Lichun shook his head with a bitter smile and said, “You really are a monster, but being able to reach such a realm from the ninth layer of the Condensation Realm in merely a month, I’m afraid it has something to do with this trip to the ancient tomb, right?”

“Half a month?” Ye Qingcheng, who was usually composed, could not help but ask out loud, “In half a month’s time, you went from the ninth layer of the Condensation Realm to the first stage of the Spirit Cultivation Realm?”

Li Xiaoyao glanced at this woman; he hadn’t looked closely before but now, upon closer inspection, he couldn’t help but be struck with admiration, overwhelmed by her stunning beauty.

“Mm,” Li Xiaoyao said, “I went through a teleportation formation to a secret realm and indeed gained quite a few benefits.”

As his thoughts reached this point, Li Xiaoyao’s heartstrings were also touched.

The mysterious desert within the Kunlun Mountains, the ancient coffin on the altar, the man inside the coffin who looked exactly like himself.

All these mysteries made Li Xiaoyao feel puzzled.

Putting aside the chaotic thoughts, Li Xiaoyao asked, “Tell me about the Cultivation World.”

“The Cultivation World, eh?” Jiang Lichun took out his smoking pipe, lit it, and took a few loud puffs, seemingly brewing his emotions before finally speaking after a long while, “The Cultivation World is a legend.”

Li Xiaoyao urged, “Be more specific.”

Jiang Lichun asked instead of answering, “How much do you know about the community of cultivators?”

“Not much.”

“The stages of a cultivator are divided into: Qi Refining, Condensation, Fasting, Spirit Cultivation, Golden Core, Spirit Condensation, Nascent Soul, Divine Refining, Mahayana, and Tribulation Transcendence,” he listed.

“To my knowledge, the strongest cultivator on Earth only reaches the Nascent Soul Realm. Of course, I have spent my life in solitude at the Xuan Sect; I haven’t met many cultivators. There are definitely cultivators stronger than the Nascent Soul Realm, but I haven’t encountered them. Perhaps those old immortals from among the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country have reached the Divine Refining Realm or even stronger, but one thing is certain.”

Jiang Lichun paused and then said, “Cultivators of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm haven’t appeared for thousands of years.”

“Why is that?” asked Li Xiaoyao, puzzled.

“Because the spiritual energy on Earth is too scarce; there are very few cultivators who can reach that realm. Even if they do, there are scarcely any cultivators who manage to transcend the tribulation successfully and ascend to immortality.”

“According to legend, our world is not the only one. In the eyes of those cultivators stronger than the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, our world is known as the Mortal Realm.”

“Above the Mortal Realm, there are other worlds with even more powerful cultivators. In ancient times, we called them gods and immortals!”

“The Cultivation World, also known as The Third Realm, is one such world.”
