231 The Twelve Levels of Spirit Xuan, Each Level Scaling to the Sky! (1/2)
Jun Mo Xie had lost his patience after watching the Solitary Eagle obsessing endlessly with himself, and hence, blatantly asked the one question he most wanted the answer to.
[It seems that this guy just doesn't understand what a 'hint' really is! Mildly hinting at things is a complete waste of energy since he's simply blind to them… it's just better to be straightforward around him ah.]
”Who told you that about the Spirit Xuan realm? That it's the highest realm?” The Solitary Eagle batted his eyelids twice as he stared at Jun Mo Xie with a sour taste in his mouth. He was busy imagining defeating two of the most powerful factions in the world singlehandedly like a valiant hero, but was suddenly interrupted by Jun Mo Xie's question, like a soldier by a truce.
”That is just wrong! How is Spirit Xuan the highest realm? This is a big joke!”
”Oh… then… is there a realm higher than Spirit Xuan? Allow me to learn something from your vast experience and knowledge.” Though Jun Mo Xie was intentionally playing dumb, he really didn't know anything on this topic in reality either: ”Are you telling me that Great Masters aren't Spirit Xuan experts? But then what are they?”
”You fool!” The Solitary Eagle's anger rose in resentment since the young master Jun was failing to meet his expectations: ”A Spirit Xuan expert is a Spirit Xuan expert, and a 'Great Master' is a 'Great Master'! Get it? The strength of a Spirit Xuan is too mediocre, and hence your assertion is plainly baseless and muddled!”
”Oh?” Jun Mo Xie's eyes opened wide in surprise.
”Xuan Qi is the world's most amazing thing!” The Solitary Eagle's face turned as solemn as a pilgrim's.
Jun Mo Xie heart secretly cracked a few contemptuous laughs: [Xuan Qi is the world's most amazing thing? My 'Art of Unlocking the Heaven's Fortune's' Aura is a thousand times more powerful; what would you call that, huh?]
”Xuan Qi can delay aging, enhance physical strength, make people live longer, move mountains and drain seas, call the winds and summon the rains… with it, you can do anything you want!” The Solitary Eagle's eyes were fanatical: ”But people still use it just as a means of killing others…”
”Move mountains and drain the seas? Do anything you want?” Jun Mo Xie stood up, this time however, in genuine surprise! The young master Jun's eyes were practically popping out of their sockets, while his chin had almost hit the ground.
”Hum, maybe this Old Man exaggerated things a bit…” The Solitary Eagle proudly added: ”But your master is the most obvious example, he obliterated an entire Maple Forest with just one wave of his hand, tch, tch, I believe that this miraculous feat was still just a little peek into his true abilities …”
”Oh …” Jun Mo Xie sat down in discouragement, like a ball which had just been deflated.
The inference he had made from this, had left him paralyzed…
”A person with a Xuan Qi realm below the Ninth level is just an ant; even though this sentence is correct, it is still not completely true.” The Solitary Eagle continued: ”The Ninth Level is so low that it can't even compare to ants. The correct statement should be: A person with cultivation below the Spirit Xuan realm is an ant!”
”That would mean that only a handful of people are worthy of being called humans.” Jun Mo Xie muffled in an authentic manner. ”The rest would just be ants.”
”There are twelve levels above the Spirit Xuan realm; the normal people are just at the beginning of things; they are nothing more than a joke for someone at such high levels!” The Solitary Eagle's body language was clearly exuding his pride and arrogance: ”And the twelve levels of Spirit Xuan, each scales to the sky!”
”The twelve levels of Spirit Xuan, each scales to the sky?” Jun Mo Xie silently repeated the sentence, and then asked: ”What does this mean?”
”Just the way Spirit Xuan realm is above Sky Xuan, these twelve levels are above Spirit Xuan; advancing each subsequent level from the first to the twelfth is just as difficult as ascending to the heavens! Moreover, the gap between each of these levels can only be compared to the disparity between the land and the sky! Therefore, each of these twelve levels scales to the sky!”
The Solitary Eagle hummed, and then said: ”The twelfth level is the real practice of Xuan Qi in my eyes, and the only person who has entered into the twelfth level can be regarded as a real man! The difference between the twelfth level and a mere Spirit Xuan is so great that a Spirit Xuan isn't even worthy of realizing it! In fact, he wouldn't even be qualified to have any knowledge of it!”
”So you've already crossed a few levels?” Jun Mo Xie asked out of curiosity.
”This old man, and old Feng Juan Yun are currently at the fifth level, which is the minimum requirement to be considered a Great Master.” The Solitary Eagle went mute for a while after finishing his sentence. ”Fifth level… I don't know if I'll ever be able to reach the sixth level… alas …
”The fifth level… because anyone under the fifth level is unworthy of being traditionally called a 'Great Master' since such martial artists don't truly have the desire to become 'Great'; a Spirit Xuan expert isn't necessarily a Great Master, but a Great Master is bound to be a Spirit Xuan!
