Chapter 173 - Reverse Opening The Five Wheels (1/2)

All of the other Qi Practitioners followed the common order to open the realms of Wu Xing, Wan Xiang, Shen Cai, Yin Yang and lastly Dao Yi. In each and every step, they would have to possess sufficient cumulative cultivation base to break through and open the next realm.

And now, Xin Huo had just told him that after the reverse opening of Dao Yi Realm, he could open all of the other realms without spending too much time in culminating his cultivation base — it was absurdly beyond the common cognitions of the Qi Practitioners!

But he makes sense too, the Dao Yi Realm is the hardest of all five realms, if one could've reverse opened the Dao Yi Realm, how can the other four realms be of concerns anymore?

Xin Huo sat on Zhong Yue's Yuan Shen shoulder, dangling his little legs, "Even if you've reverse opened all five realms, it wouldn't increase your cultivation base by much, you would still be in the early-stage of the Awakening level. Opening the realms are merely tantamount to opening doors. You can only be considered to be at the peak once you have cultivated all five realms to the extremity. Right now, there is still a huge gap between you and the ordinary Awakening Qi Practitioners who had opened all five realms."

Zhong Yue assented to him, through the normative methods, the cultivator would cultivate the previous realms to the extremity before breaking through and opening the next realm; and when all five realms were opened, they would essentially be at the peak of the level of Awakening due to the fact that they had to cultivate all their previous realms to the extremity before opening the next realm. Hence, they would only be half a step away from the level of Atman Body.

But he took the reverse opening route, causing all of his realms to be more or less the same size; he would need to spend more time in cultivating the newly opened realms to the extremity.

Zhong Yue thought and said, "But if all the five realms are opened, I can then cultivate them in parallel at the same time, my cultivation speed would be four or five times faster than the other Qi Practitioners, saving me more time!"

Xin Huo nodded, "That's right, this is the forte of reverse opening the realms, stronger in prowess, and faster in cultivation speed. Or otherwise, why would there be any need to open the realms in reverse when there is added risk? If it didn't make you stronger and faster, you might as well just take the conventional route like all the others!"

Zhong Yue recollected his thoughts, he did not rush himself in cultivating but instead, he started off by collating the cultivation knowledge and insights from the monster saint city Shi Buyi in his mind. He searched for the insights Shi Buyi had when he was in the level of Awakening, cultivating the five realms.

He did not have much knowledge on the realms of Wan Xiang and Shen Cai and was afraid that he would not be able to open the two realms, hence, he was looking into Shi Buyi's insights, subsuming them and corroborating them with his own so that he could open the two realms!

Shi Buyi had held back and did not teach him all the insights regarding the [Monster God Ming King Art]. However, the insights about the Wan Xiang Realm and Shen Cai Realm were fully passed over to him.

How strong and deep were the insights of such an otherworldly strong cultivator. Zhong Yue studied them carefully and meticulously, gaining a lot of knowledge from it. Moreover, he had also studied through Shi Buyi's insights in the other three realms.

How magnificent this is, Shi Buyi … a cultivator that on par with the headmaster of Swords Gate. His insights have allowed me to shorten my cultivation time by two whole years!

Zhong Yue could not help but praise in his heart. The monster magnate, Shi Buyi was truly impressive; there was so much knowledge and insights that it took Zhong Yue quite some time to understand them.

One that can be an overlord of land, would definitely not be a mediocre figure.

He closed his eyes, preparing for the opening of the Yin Yang Realm!

If I were to reverse open all five realms in one shot, Elder Feng would surely be shocked and overjoyed to death! he thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Qiu Jin'er had finished feeding her stomach and in her embarrassment, she kept the jade bottles that occupied the whole bed. Furtively glancing at Zhong Yue, she found the young man sitting in the lotus position, revealing only one side of his body in her eyes, she saw an unyieldingly strong-will that belied the immature features of his face.

He is still just a young boy…., Qiu Jin'er thought to herself.

….

"You are saying that, that Zhong Shan Clan member from the Great Wilderness is extremely strong, nearly undefeatable in the level of Rebirth?"

In the supreme celestial temple of Xiao Mang Celestial Race, one after another, the celestial white-robed priests sat in the door-shaped shrines, whereas beneath them were the disciples of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race.

The celestial disciples were personally taught by these white-robed priests, their prowesses were incredibly strong and some of them were even nearly as strong as their teachers themselves, only half a step away from the level of elders!

The high priest frowned and said, "That Zhong Shan Clan member's prowess, how strong is he? Just a Rebirth Qi Practitioner of the human race, even if he is strong, how strong can he possibly be?"

Below, rays flashed in one of the celestial disciples' eyes as he yelled out loud, "That's right! How could I be deemed weaker than him if we had not dueled before? How can my defeat be declared so early, if we have yet to even battle?"

The white-robed priest that attended Zhong Yue and the others replied solemnly, "This human's prowess is equivalent to a Wan Xiang Awakening Qi Practitioner of the celestial race! Xiao Chuwen, when I say that you are no match for him, then you aren't. Your prowess has yet to reach to the peak of the Rebirth level, even slightly weaker than Long Yue of the East Barren by a fine line; and yet, this Zhong Yue of the Great Wilderness is a fine line stronger than that Long Yue — if you engage with him in a battle, the only ending for you would be death!"

Xiao Chuqing clenched his teeth and gave a cold sneer. He had seen the images of 'Long Yue' executing the bloody massacre on the street – it was utterly terrifying and shocking. He once thought that Long Yue himself along sat atop the peak of the level of Rebirth, and he regarded himself to be only a slightly weaker than Long Yue. Hence, he had strived to make himself stronger, trying to reach to the peak in the level of Rebirth.

And yet, as of now, the elder priest was saying that there was a human that went by the name of Zhong Yue who was even stronger than that dragon Long Yue. He was simply unable to swallow the indignation in his heart, especially since they had not even fought before.

However, never once would he have thought that the Long Yue who he was trying surpass was in actuality, Zhong Yue himself!

The white-robed priest continued, "High priest, I say we give up on the level of Rebirth in order to spare Chuwen from dying in his hands."

The high priest locked his brows, moments later he said, "We will discuss this matter later. How about the strength of the others from Swords Gate, have we acquired enough information about them?"
