I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

Chapter 332 The Supreme Emperor of the Path, Common Sense of Cultivation!
"Mr. Jiang, rest assured, I have already informed the elders of my sect. They are preparing the materials needed to repair the World-Slaying Blade, and they will be delivered soon!"

Yuzhou City.

The Weapon Sect's outpost.

Yu Huaqing politely took out a storage ring and said, "In addition, this storage ring contains some Saint Source and Saint Blood, which is a small token of our Weapon Sect's appreciation. We hope it will be of some help to Mr. Jiang's cultivation."

Jiang He, who had just returned from Jizhou, was somewhat dazed.

I just went out to stretch my muscles. At most, I stayed out all night and had a few drinks with Emperor Feng in Jizhou City. Why does Yu Huaqing's attitude seem to have changed a bit... quickly!
He pushed the storage ring back, saying, "Sect Master Yu, your sect's assistance in repairing the World-Slaying Blade is already a great help. As for these Sacred Source and Sacred Blood... I cannot accept them without having done so much!"

"No, you have to accept it!"

Yu Huaqing panicked!

After Jiang He left last night, he and Ji Wufa mobilized all the intelligence systems of the two major forces, Qizong and Wanbaolou, to investigate the source of the "Sainthood Phenomenon"... In the end, they traced it back to Yanzhou City!
They even obtained a "video recording" of the battle inside Yanzhou City.

This is also normal.

Many people in Yanzhou City witnessed Jiang He transforming into a three-headed, six-armed being, slaying alien half-saints as easily as chopping vegetables, effortlessly killing the "Great Black Heavenly Demon King," and swallowing its holy source that was about to self-destruct!

Someone used a secret method to "record" this scene.

With the channels of the Qi Sect and Wanbaolou, they naturally obtained this information immediately.

Yu Huaqing didn't recognize Jiang He in his [Heaven and Earth Form] + [Three Heads and Six Arms] form, but Ji Wufa recognized him at a glance.

Ji Wufa was so frightened that he cursed, "Damn it, are you trying to kill me? I've worked so hard to cultivate for so many years to reach the Saint Realm, and this guy has only been cultivating his body for a short time, yet he's already achieved physical sainthood?"

People can accept the idea of ​​physical immortality.

After all, rivers originate from the "ancestral star," and are "born in response to destiny" monsters!

The idea that a celestial phenomenon could envelop the entire Kunlun Realm is simply outrageous!
A martial artist's "sainthood phenomenon" is closely related to his potential and talent... This shows that Jiang He is more powerful than the "realm lord" who resonated with the origin of Kunlun Realm when he became a saint!

Knowing this, Yu Huaqing dared not "embezzle" Jiang He's treasures anymore, and quickly said, "Mr. Jiang, you misunderstand. These sacred sources and sacred blood are not gifts from me, but compensation to you."

The renowned sect leader of the Weapon Sect, who was famous throughout the Kunlun Realm, said with a sincere expression, "At that time, I was invited by the Devouring Heaven Demon Saint to go to Niushou Mountain to set up a protective formation for them... I never expected to discover a peculiar restriction at the foot of Niushou Mountain. So I spent two and a half years breaking through the restriction and entering the treasure vault to take away the treasure that should have belonged to Mr. Jiang."

“I have already spent all those treasures and cannot return them all.”

“But I heard from Master Ji that Mr. Jiang needs a large amount of Holy Source and Holy Blood for cultivation… Our Weapon Sect happens to have some treasures, so we took them out in the hope of making up for your loss, Mr. Jiang.”

Is that so?

Jiang He thought for a moment, then took the storage ring and sensed its contents.

Inside the storage ring, there was a jar of holy blood, about 5 drops, and 10 holy sources!
The Saint Sources varied in grade, and there was even a high-grade Saint Source among them. However, Jiang He quickly sensed that all 10 Saint Sources were "waste Saint Sources," just like the "Saint Realm Saint Source" that Bai Wushuang's son, "Young Master Bai," had given to Jiang He. They were all just energy left, but the Saint Dao Laws had long since dissipated or been taken away by someone.

To outsiders, the value of this sacred source is undoubtedly greatly diminished.

But Jiang He didn't mind at all.

He accepted the storage ring, glanced at Yu Huaqing, and felt a pang of emotion...

Pity!
I was thinking that once I got to the Weapon Sect, I could use this incident as an excuse to cause trouble and extract more resources... But now that Yu Huaqing has lowered his stance so much, helping me repair the World-Slaying Blade and giving me Holy Source and Holy Blood, how can I cause trouble in the future?
"That's all."

"The World-Slaying Blade is an Imperial Weapon, and the cost of repairing it must be quite high... Add to that 10 Saint Sources and 5 drops of Saint Blood, and we'll call this even."

Jiang He's mind raced with thoughts.

Just then, a loud "howl" rang out. Jiang He turned his head and saw a blade of light rushing towards him!

"Hahahahaha!"

"Owner!"

"I knew my judgment was exceptional... I've followed you since you were weak, and I never expected that in just half a year you would have achieved physical sainthood, and with such magnificent signs of sainthood, you might even be able to cultivate into the legendary [Extreme Emperor]!"

"Ah... watch out!"

"Master, get out of the way!"

puff!

The blade flashed and pierced through Jiang He's chest.

The Zhanjie Blade, stained with blood, fell behind Jiang He. The blade spirit crawled into the hilt, feigning death, and remained motionless.

This wasn't the first time Jiang He had been "cut through the heart" by his own knife... But the key point was that Yu Huaqing, Ji Wufa, and the Devouring Demon Saint were all present!

Out of the corner of his eye, Jiang He noticed that the three semi-saints all had expressions of utter disbelief, especially the "Devouring Demon Saint," whose lips were practically twitching with barely suppressed laughter...

This made Jiang He quite embarrassed.

But he couldn't show it, otherwise it would only be more awkward. So he deliberately nodded and looked at his chest. Seeing that the wound had healed and even the knife mark from the World-Slaying Blade was rapidly recovering, Jiang He nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad."

"After my physical body became a saint, my self-healing power seems to have become even stronger."

"But my physical defense... seems to be a bit lacking."

Jiang He picked up the Zhanjie Dao, which was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, and used the blade to cut his arm a few times, drawing blood. He frowned and said, "A broken imperial weapon can easily break through my defense... If a Great Sage were to get close to me and self-destruct, I'm afraid I would be blown to smithereens."

"what?"

The sword spirit panicked: "Master, if this happens, won't you be doomed? What will happen to me if you die?"

Jiang He said, "No... We body cultivators are different from you spiritual cultivators. After I achieved sainthood in my physical body, I comprehended a new ability, or rather, a physical supernatural power, which can greatly enhance my ability to survive!"

"What ability?"

The sword spirit of the World-Slaying Blade provided a timely and humorous response.

Jiang He replied, "Rebirth through a drop of blood!"

Upon hearing this, the three Saint Realm experts, Devouring Heaven Demon Saint, Yu Huaqing, and Ji Wufa, exchanged bewildered glances. The Blade Spirit exclaimed, "What? Rebirth from a drop of blood? What kind of heaven-defying divine power is this?"

"This is so unfair to spiritual cultivators... Master, your physical body is already incredibly strong. Even a full-force attack from a peak Saint Realm cultivator might not be enough to cause a fatal injury under the Law of Heaven and Earth... Now that you've mastered the [Blood Regeneration] supernatural power, how are others supposed to survive?"

Jiang He: "It's alright. After all, our physical cultivation is more difficult and arduous. But we get what we pay for. Isn't it reasonable to gain a few powerful supernatural abilities?"

"........."

Upon hearing this, not only were Devouring Heaven Demon Saint, Yu Huaqing, and Ji Wufa speechless, but even the sword spirit, who was skilled at "straight man" (a term for someone who provides a good comedic relief), was somewhat dumbfounded. He remained silent for a long time before finally saying insincerely, "Master's cultivation has been arduous, so it is indeed reasonable to receive a reward... Sect Master Yu, didn't you say you were going to repair me? Take me away quickly!"

Damn it!

I don't want to stay with this kind of owner for even a minute longer!

Jiang He stepped on the World-Slaying Blade and asked, "Wait... what's this about the Extreme Realm Emperor you just mentioned?"

Dao Ling said, "An Extreme Realm Emperor is indeed an Extreme Realm Emperor, but the Dao of the Extreme Realm only exists in legends. Whether an Extreme Realm Emperor has ever truly been born in the myriad worlds is still a mystery."

"Our Weapon Sect's records do contain some information about the [Extreme Realm Emperor]."

Yu Huaqing said, "The so-called extreme realm refers to the 'ultimate path,' which has three kinds: the path of body refinement, the path of the soul, and the path of energy..."

Some explanation.

Jiang He finally understood the concept of "the ultimate way".

He said, "Does the so-called ultimate path mean going down a single path to the bitter end? For example, simply cultivating the body to the Great Emperor realm makes one an ultimate Great Emperor? Or is it the same for cultivating only the path of spirit and soul... or the path of energy?"

At this point, Jiang He paused slightly, then continued, "But if one doesn't comprehend the laws of the Holy Path, one can't even become a Saint, so how can one become an Emperor?"

Yu Huaqing chuckled and asked, "Has Mr. Jiang ever comprehended the laws of the sage path?"

Driven by the laws of power, a mysterious force emanated from his body. Under the influence of the "Law of Power," the muscles beneath his clothes bulged, and his blood and qi circulated within him, producing a sound like a rushing river.

He said, "I am a body cultivator, and what I have comprehended is the law of power."

After a brief moment of contemplation, Yu Huaqing activated the "Sacred Laws" within his body. Instantly, a sacred aura emanated from his body, and a faint holy light emanated from him. He said, "Mr. Jiang, carefully sense the difference between our laws."

Jiang He sensed it.

After thinking it over carefully, he said, "My power of laws is strong, while yours is weak... Someone like you, at the late stage of the Saint Realm, I could crush you with a single punch!"

"........."

What the hell!

Yu Huaqing was dumbfounded!
This is something that everyone should know, why say it out loud?
He recalled the many things about Jiang He that the spirit of the "Boundary-Slaying Blade" had revealed when Jiang He was not around, and thought to himself, "Forget it, he has mental problems. This sect master is magnanimous and will not hold it against him!"

Taking a deep breath, Yu Huaqing abandoned the "guidance" and said directly: "The so-called laws of the sacred path are actually transformed from the laws of the Dao."

"Martial artists, upon reaching the Grandmaster realm, have already comprehended the state of oneness with heaven and man, cultivating various [forces], which are also known as [the power of intent]!"

"This [Power of Intent] is actually the prototype of the Great Dao... Therefore, only after a martial artist has cultivated the [Power of Intent] can he comprehend the state of unity between man and nature and be able to draw upon the power of heaven and earth."

"As a martial artist's cultivation level increases, their understanding of the universe and nature will deepen, leading to a more profound comprehension of the 'prototype' of their chosen path. Only after fully entering the path and mastering its principles can they step into the Fish-Dragon Realm!"

And the "Sacred Path Laws"...

In fact, it is also a manifestation of the "Great Way".

It's just that martial artists have a stronger grasp on this "path"!
Jiang He was stunned. He had now cultivated three kinds of "power of intent".

Sword intent.

The intent of the sword.

There is also the essence of boxing.

Leaving aside the Fist Intent for now... I only just grasped it yesterday, and my understanding of "Fist Intent" is about the same as that of a Martial Arts Grandmaster. As for the Sword Intent, after all, I have always been taught by the "Sword Spirit," and the Sword Spirit will occasionally give Jiang He an "enlightenment," so Jiang He's understanding of the Sword Intent is about the same as that of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

His understanding of sword intent was the deepest, comparable to that of the Fish-Dragon Realm.

But it still doesn't reach the level of Yu Huaqing.

But then Yu Huaqing continued:

"Different levels of mastery over the Dao result in different cultivation realms, which is why there is a distinction between half-saint and saint."

"And what about the Great Sage?"

Jiang He said, "The Great Sage has a stronger grasp of the Dao than the Saint Realm?"

"Yes!"

Yu Huaqing said, "The Great Sage represents that one's understanding of a certain path has reached its limit, and one has completely mastered that path. Therefore, the Great Sage does not have any minor realm divisions such as early, middle, or late stages."

"Oh?"

Jiang He had never heard of this before. He asked, "Since it's cultivation, even those at the same level must have varying strengths... So how are the levels of a Great Sage divided?"

“Brother, I know this.”

The Devouring Demon Saint finally found a chance to interject, saying, "There are strengths and weaknesses in the Dao. Even among sword cultivators, strength will differ at the same realm. However, this is not the standard for classifying the strength of Great Saints... because even if the Daos are different, the combat power of Great Saints at the same realm is generally not too different!"

"The strength of the Great Sages is determined by the number of Great Daos they control."

"It is said that after cultivating to the Great Sage realm, one can transform the Dao one has mastered into a Sacred Dao Law Star Talisman, which is sealed within the body. During battle, one can activate the power within the Sacred Dao Law Star Talisman with a single thought!"

"Mastering one Great Dao power allows one to condense a star symbol, thus becoming a one-star Great Saint. Mastering two Great Dao powers allows one to cultivate two star symbols, thus becoming a two-star Great Saint."

Jiang He suddenly realized and said, "If one masters the nine Great Daos and condenses the power of the nine Great Daos, then one can be considered a Nine-Star Great Sage?"

"Forehead……"

These words caused the three Saint Realm experts, Devouring Heaven Demon Saint, Ji Wufa, and Yu Huaqing, to laugh.

The world-slaying sword even burrowed into the crack it had cut in the ground, muttering, "Master, this is so low-level... You don't even have this basic cultivation knowledge?"

Jiang He didn't feel embarrassed.

He was well aware of this, and said, "There's nothing I can do. I've only been cultivating for a short time, just over half a year since I started body tempering. I'm either fighting or on my way to fight. I don't have that much time to learn about these common-sense issues!"

The sword spirit emerged from the crack in the ground and explained, "How difficult is it to master a complete Great Dao? Looking across all the heavens and myriad realms, the Great Sage is already the pinnacle. Even those hegemonic races, at their peak, could only support a dozen or so Great Sages with the full power of their entire race... Of course, the Kunlun Realm is an exception. It is said that within the ancestral star of the human race in the Kunlun Realm alone, more than a hundred Great Sages have emerged!"

"As for a two-star Great Sage... they are even rarer!"

"The Three-Star Great Sage, placed in any race or world, would absolutely be among the most outstanding individuals below the Great Emperor!"
