Full-time Creation Master

"Bald monk, I acknowledge your Buddhist teachings!"

Ray's voice was resounding, carrying the lingering power of thunder, echoing across the sea.

Gone was the previous rage and disdain; instead, there was a hint of genuine admiration, and a trace of amazement flashed in his eyes.

He stared blankly at the old monk from Lingyin Temple before him, his expression complex and unreadable.

The old monk's breakthrough in mental state happened almost right under his nose.

It could even be said that he personally lent a helping hand to the other party.

The two had been locked in a fierce battle, with him summoning thunder from the heavens to strike the old monk's Buddhist light repeatedly, his intention being to break through the monk's defenses.

Unexpectedly, this raging thunder became the old monk's opportunity for a breakthrough.

At this moment, the old monk from Lingyin Temple radiated an even more intense and pure Buddhist light, making him appear completely different from before.

His spiritual realm has steadily advanced from the mid-stage of the eighth realm to the peak of the eighth realm.

Just one step away from reaching the threshold of the Ninth Realm.

The Buddhist aura surrounding me grew ever more profound and deep, as if it had been tempered over a thousand years, gentle yet powerful.

That Buddhist intent was able to subdue the Dao and Dharma that it had absorbed into the divine thunder!

The fatigue and disordered breathing left from the previous fierce battle had long since disappeared, replaced by a state of perfect clarity and composure.

What might be more alarming to a novice is his golden Buddhist statue—

Ray's barrage of lightning hadn't harmed the old monk in the slightest; instead, it seemed to temper and refine his golden body repeatedly.

This further refined the already powerful Buddhist golden body, making it even more resilient and indestructible as the Buddhist light flowed around it.

Under the cleansing force of thunder, the old monk's long-hidden injuries were healed one by one, and his meridians became increasingly unobstructed.

The medicinal power of rare and precious herbs that he had previously ingested but failed to fully absorb was now being refined by the golden body under the catalysis of the lightning, transforming into his own inner strength.

Even the many constraints and limitations hidden within the physical body were forcibly broken through by this thunderous power, completely unlocking the potential of the physical body.

Most incredibly, the old monk's physical strength had broken through its limitations, reaching the peak of the Supreme Monarch level.

Compared to the immense opportunities of mental breakthroughs, the condensation of a golden body, the healing of hidden injuries, and the unlocking of shackles,

Ironically, this peak physical strength at the Supreme Monarch level became the least noteworthy gain.

Ray couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement—

He painstakingly unleashed his thunderous attack, only to end up helping his opponent undergo a complete transformation.

Even so, he could not deny that the old monk's Buddhist teachings and state of mind were indeed worthy of his approval.

The old monk from Lingyin Temple slowly opened his eyes, his gaze clear and calm, his Buddhist light restrained. He nodded slightly to Lei Yi, his expression serene.

He was neither overjoyed by the breakthrough nor complacent with the recognition he received; he remained as gentle and unassuming as ever.

In the world of Full-Time Magister, the core of spiritual realm is divided into nine realms and three stages (minor realm, intermediate realm, and major realm).

The core connection is to amplify the power of magic and enhance mental manipulation.

It also directly determines the upper limit of mind-based, curse-based, and dimensional (space, summoning, etc.) magic.

These realms correspond to the elemental species (spirit species, soul species, and celestial species), with clear divisions and significant differences, as detailed below:

I. Overall Division of Spiritual Realms (Nine Realms and Three Stages)

Core framework: 1-3 realms = minor realm → corresponding spirit seed amplification;

4-6 realms = intermediate realm → corresponding soul seed amplification;

7-9 realms = major realms → corresponding celestial seed amplification.

The power of all mental magic (note that this does not apply to elemental magic) (without distinction between spirit seed, soul seed, or celestial seed) depends entirely on the strength of one's own mental state, rather than on the constraints of constellations or star charts. The stronger one's mental power and the more determined one's will, the stronger one's ability to resist mental attacks.

II. Detailed Division and Core Differences of Each Realm

(I) Minor Realms: 1-3 Realms (corresponding to elemental spirit seed amplification, 2-3 times)

Core positioning: The mental strength of a beginner mage, the normal mental level of an ordinary beginner to intermediate mage, and also the basic threshold for awakening dimensional magic (such as spatial magic).

Specific differences:

Realm 1: Basic mental strength, only enough to meet one's own needs for connecting magical planets and basic meditation, with no significant amplification to magic (or only a 1x basic amplification), unable to resist low-level mental attacks, the initial mental level of most ordinary mages when they awaken.

Level 2: Mental power is slightly refined, and one can initially control simple mental magic (such as low-level mind control). Dimensional magic is amplified by 2 times, and one can barely resist low-level mental interference. Some mages with good talent can reach this level during the initial awakening stage (such as early awakened space-type mages).

Realm 3: Peak of the minor realm. Mental strength is sufficient to stably control mid-level magic star orbits. It has a 3x amplification for dimensional magic and can resist ordinary low-level mental attacks. It is the minimum mental strength required before entering the realm of high-level mages and is also the normal upper limit for most elemental mages.

(II) Intermediate Realm: Realm 4-6 (corresponding to elemental soul seed amplification, 4-6 times)

Core Positioning: The core mental level of high-level mages, the "power-up period" for mind-based and dimensional mages, where mental power begins to form a preliminary domain perception, allowing them to break free from basic manipulation and achieve flexible use of magic.

Level 4: A qualitative change in mental power, enabling the stable release of high-level mental magic, a 4x amplification of dimensional magic, easy resistance to low-level mental attacks, and the ability to initially perceive the mental fluctuations of others. It corresponds to the amplification effect of small soul seeds and is the basic mental threshold for high-level mages.

Realm 5: Increased mental energy concentration, 5x amplification of dimensional magic, can actively interfere with the mental energy of others (such as high-level mental interference), greatly enhanced mental defense, cannot be shaken by ordinary mid-level mental attacks, corresponding to the amplification of mid-level soul species, and can be reached by some top high-level mages.

Realm 6: Peak of the middle realm. Mental power can form a weak mental domain, which has a 6-fold amplification on dimensional magic. It can control advanced forms of high-level mental magic (such as precise telekinesis of spatial magic). It corresponds to the amplification of the Great Soul Seed/Supreme Soul Seed and is the mental prerequisite for entering the super-level mage (such as the mental level of Mo Fan when he broke through to the super-level of spatial magic in the original work).

(III) Major Realms: 7-9 Realms (corresponding to elemental seed amplification, 7-16 times)

Core Positioning: Exclusive mental power for super-level forbidden spell mages, the ultimate mental level of top-tier mind and dimensional mages. This mental power can form a complete domain and even interfere with the rules, representing the ceiling of a mage's mental power.

Specific differences (each realm is divided into initial/intermediate/late/peak, with progressively increasing power):

Realm 7: The entry point to the major realm, corresponding to the amplification of sub-celestial to minor celestial species (7-9 times). The mental power forms a complete mental domain, which can resist super-level mental attacks and can simultaneously control multiple high-level mental magic. It is the core mental level of super-level mages, and some top super-level mages can reach the peak (9 times amplification).

8th Realm: Mid-stage of the Great Realm, corresponding to the amplification of the Middle Heaven Seed to the Great Heaven Seed (10-14 times). The mental domain can cover a large area and can directly suppress mages with the mental power of the Middle Realm. The mental manipulation reaches the point of "thought is action" (such as the space system does not need to deliberately concentrate the mind to form a control magnetic field), which is the mark of the top super-level mage.

9th Realm: Peak of the Great Realm (ceiling of mental power), corresponding to the amplification of Great Heavenly Seed - Supreme Heavenly Seed (15-16 times). Mental power can interfere with some rules, the mental domain has no blind spots, can resist forbidden spell-level mental attacks, only forbidden spell mages can reach it, it is the ultimate form of mental power, and can perfectly control the ultimate skills of all mental and dimensional magic.
