"By the way, this strength doesn’t mean body weight. The special thing about Body Cultivation is that it allows a person to have perfect control over their body."

"That means you can punch someone with a force that should be enough to shatter everything around you, but it will only impact the person themselves."

"This is known as Absolute Body Control. That’s also why Treasured Body Realm has such a name."

"It is truly a treasure, allowing a normal cultivator to exert a similar kind of control despite not being a part of a body cultivation system."

"The second star of Mortal Body has the strength of ten thousand kilograms, the third star has the strength of twenty thousand, and the fourth star has the strength of forty thousand."

At this moment, Hongsu smirked and asked.

"Can you tell me why I gave the exact strength of three levels at once?"

Tyler’s eyes lit up as he asked.

"Is it because the Treasured Body Realm has a strength similar to these three levels?"

Hongsu nodded.

"That’s right! Since Soul Sublimation Realm is about soul, the increase in physical strength is the biggest at the Treasured Body Realm."

"At third level, you can get the strength of Second Star Mortal Body, at sixth level, you can get the strength of Third Star Mortal Body, and at ninth level, you can get the strength of Fourth Star Mortal Body."

"At the peak of the Soul Sublimation Realm, you can increase your strength to one hundred thousand kilograms, but Fifth Star Mortal Body only has the strength of eighty thousand kilograms."

"In Body Cultivation, your strength doubles with each level, so the higher you go, the stronger your body becomes."

"By the way, this will be your base strength. As a Mana Cultivator, you can stack your mana-enhanced strength on top of your base strength."

"Since your current mana is stronger than that at the peak of the Mana Condensation Realm of an average cultivator, you can easily output the strength of Second Star Mortal Body."

Hearing that, Tyler asked.

"Since the benefits are so good, the conditions for the later part of the Body Cultivation should be extremely difficult, right?"

Hongsu nodded.

"My blood can be considered a Fifth Grade Treasure of your world. In fact, it’s more precious than that."

"If someone at Law Creation Realm had consumed my blood, they would’ve comprehended Fire and Body Laws at the same time."

"So, you would need to find some very precious treasures if you want to improve your Body Cultivation."

"Enough about Body Cultivation, let’s talk about Spirit Cultivation."

Hearing that, Tyler tilted his head and asked.

"Shouldn’t it be Soul Cultivation?"

"It’s the same. Spirit Body Cultivation and Body Cultivation can be considered auxiliary cultivation."

"Improving them is hard, but the benefits are also huge. Spirit Cultivation is mainly about souls."

"It is impossible to cultivate the soul without reaching the Soul Sublimation Realm, but once you reach that realm, you can start improving your soul based on three of its aspects."

"Longevity, Attributes and Spiritual Power. By tempering the soul through a specific method, you can improve its lifespan."

"By practicing certain methods, you can also give different attributes to your soul like Soul Flame, Soul Ice, Demonic Soul, and so much more."

"Finally, Spiritual Power is an actual attack power of the soul. By condensing spiritual power in your soul, you can release it to attack others."

"If you want to cultivate soul, you need to learn one thing: Soul Technique. Soul Technique is similar to Body Technique, but for the soul."

"Soul Cultivation is also similar to Body Cultivation, divided into four realms and nine stars for each realm."

"If Body Cultivation strength is measured in kilograms, the Soul Cultivation strength is measured in Spiritual Power."

"Level One Spiritual Power can easily cripple Mana Condenser’s body and fight Treasured Body Realm on equal grounds."

"Unfortunately, Soul Sublimated cultivators can withstand the strength of Level Four Spiritual Power."

"As for how it feels, you will understand once you face them yourself. Or, do you want me to give you a demonstration?"

Tyler hurriedly shook his head.

Although he knew Hongsu could control his strength, he didn’t want to take a risk.

Hongsu nodded with satisfaction.

"That’s good! You shouldn’t be too stubborn. Sometimes, it’s better to take your time. My Spiritual Power would’ve destroyed your soul even with the best of my control."

"But this also means Spirit Cultivation is most expensive among Body, Soul, and Sword Cultivation."

"Sword Cultivation?"

Tyler asked in a surprised tone.

"Yes, Sword Cultivation is the fourth system of cultivation. It is also the most complex cultivation system."

"It incorporates the strength of Body Cultivation, mana of Mana Cultivation, and Spiritual Pressure of Spiritual Cultivation into its own system."

"This system has its own energy known as Sword Energy. It is a culmination of one’s swordsmanship and mana."

"Then, it is combined with spiritual pressure and body strength for its uses. So, it is also the hardest path of cultivation."

"But normally, Sword cultivators are invincible in their realms. Previously, I said at certain levels and realms, a mana cultivator can fight both body cultivator and spirit cultivator, right?"

"But with a sword cultivator, that is no longer possible. A sword cultivator can only be defeated by those at higher realms."

"You are practicing your swordsmanship with the Sword Drawing Technique, which is also the most authentic path of swordsmanship."

"So, you must do your best to find a Sword Scripture. Even if you don’t cultivate your soul, you can still become a sword cultivator."

Hearing that, Tyler’s expression changed drastically.

He never thought that, aside from normal mana cultivation, there would be three different cultivation systems.

Not only were they strong on their own, but they could also work together to give bigger benefits.

With his memories, Tyler knew body cultivation was extremely helpful against stronger opponents, while soul cultivation could become a powerful trump.

As for swordsmanship, it was something that held a lot of potential.

Swords could break anything. The point of practice swordsmanship was to sever anything with its edge.

That’s why it had a very high upper limit, possibly the highest. But he wasn’t sure if that would be the case.

After all, every world had its own laws.

Here, swords could simply be a choice of weapon for cultivators. So, he wasn’t expecting much.

Only now that he learned about its potential, he began to realize just how good his previous choice was.

"I will not give you any instructions on swordsmanship. If you find a Sword Scripture, you will find its realm."

"Besides, you shouldn’t chew more than you can swallow. It’s best to focus on your body cultivation for now."

"Of course, if you find resources to cultivate the other two, you can get started with them."

Hearing that, Tyler nodded.

He wasn’t planning to focus on Spirit Cultivation, but he would try his best to find Sword Scripture.

With the backhands left behind by his parents, he could simply find it through the Star Plasma Pavilion.

Hongsu nodded and said.

"You have completed the trial and gotten your rewards. It’s for you to leave."

"Thank you very much, Senior!"

Tyler lowered his head as much as he could while thanking him. He was truly grateful to this dragon.

If not for him, he wouldn’t have gotten so many benefits and learned so many new things.

Hongsu laughed.

"Hahaha! I also benefited a lot from your words. You might not realize, but even taking a small step in my realm is harder than moving a planet out of its orbit."

"Goodbye, Tyler Grant! Let’s meet in the Spirit Realm!"

As he said that, his body slowly vanished into the light particles and disappeared.

——————————

Somewhere in the Spirit Realm;

The golden sun shone brightly over a large mountain. On top of the mountain lay a massive dragon.

An enormous golden energy poured into the dragon, transforming into seven different disks of golden light before it expanded.

Covering several mountains the size of planets, they kept expanding until an unknown number of days passed.

The golden rings started shrinking rapidly into the body of the dragon.

Boom!

A loud noise shook the world beneath that dragon and shattered the mountain around him.

The very sky started falling, and the stars shone brighter than before.

At this moment, the dragon opened its eyes with the golden light glistening out of them.

He looked at the sky, his gaze piercing into the very heaven above the sky. He raised his head and opened his mouth.

"I, Fire Dragon Lord, have reached the Venerable Realm."

"From this day forward, I shall be known as Venerable Huo Long."

Roar!

His voice echoed all around the world; every corner of the spirit realm heard his voice.

The realm that was the highest of this world, the realm that only a few individuals have touched, was once again reached by an individual.

The entire dragon race roared in frenzy and joy.

"Venerable Huo Long!" "Venerable Huo Long!" "Venerable Huo Long!"
