286: Brother Shen has made another breakthrough!

“Senior, isn't that a bit too exaggerated…?”

Shen Xi couldn't help but swallow.

Someone in the outside world broke through to the Martial Dao Five Realms when they were still a baby?

This is cheating!

No!

Shen Xi was also a cheater, but he didn't Cultivate as easily as the other party!

He still had to spend time and effort to acquire demon beast lifespan before he could rapidly increase his Realm.

Shen Xi's pressure doubled.

Constantly using cheats to improve his strength meant that he basically crushed any Martial Artist of the same age.

This made him somewhat complacent and underestimate his peers.

But now it seemed there were countless people far surpassing him among his peers; he just hadn't had the chance to meet them, being stuck in this corner of the wilderness.

He must work harder, catch up to those Geniuses, stand shoulder to shoulder with those Geniuses, and ultimately surpass those Geniuses!

A seed of ambition was planted in Shen Xi's heart.

Reborn into this life, he didn't want to live in mediocrity again; he wanted to become the strongest, to dominate the world!

“Exaggerated? This is the truth, and I can responsibly tell you that such Geniuses are not just one or two, but a small group born in every Domain Realm!”

“Think about it, even if a Domain Realm only has one or two Geniuses of this level, how many people would that be across the entire world? Not hundreds of thousands, but tens of thousands, right?!”

“How difficult do you think it would be to stand out among so many Prodigies?”

The Sword Spirit spoke again.

It wasn't trying to scare Shen Xi; it was simply the truth.

In every generation, a few Prodigy-level Geniuses would be born in each Domain Realm, which would amount to tens of thousands, or even over a hundred thousand, across the entire world!

Moreover, a Martial Artist's lifespan would continuously increase with the improvement of their Realm; some Martial Artists even lived for tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years.

Hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation meant not only a continuous birth of new Prodigy Geniuses, but also the growth and strengthening of established Prodigy Geniuses, making the strength of the Domain Realm imaginable.

The wilderness was simply incomparable to the outside world; it didn't even have the qualifications to carry its shoes.

Any School from the outside world could send a small team of elites to the wilderness and sweep it clean.

“Presumably, Senior was also a Prodigy-level Genius like this millions of years ago.”

Shen Xi said with emotion.

The Senior he referred to was naturally the owner of the broken sword.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the Sword Spirit and Little Doll burst into disdainful laughter.

“Hmph! Those Prodigy Geniuses are nothing; you should know that the Master was invincible among his peers in his youth, dared to challenge the Holy Land in his young adulthood, and by middle age, he was already dominating the world, traversing countless Domain Realms, with even Holy Lands bowing at his feet!”

“And after the Master's passing, countless Prodigy Geniuses flocked to seek the Legacy he left behind, just to become his Personal Disciple.”

“Kid, you could say you've stumbled upon a Treasure Trove!”

Shen Xi was so shocked his mouth hung open.

He thought he had already highly estimated the owner of the broken sword, but he hadn't expected to still underestimate him.

Being invincible among his peers in his youth meant that all those Prodigy Geniuses the broken sword spoke of had been defeated by the owner of the broken sword.

To suppress the Prodigy Geniuses of an entire era by his own power—this achievement alone was unprecedented and would never be replicated!

No!

Shen Xi's eyes became firm.

He, too, would suppress the Prodigy Geniuses of an entire era!

He would be the one to break the 'never to be replicated'!

A wave of heroic ambition surged into Shen Xi's heart.

He had a clearer understanding of his future path.

By the time Shen Xi came back to his senses, Little Doll and the Sword Spirit had already disappeared, returning to the Tower of the Heavens.

This left him a little regretful; he still wanted to know what Realms existed above the Martial Dao Five Realms.

However, no matter how he called out to them, neither of them responded.

Finally, the Sword Spirit, clearly a bit impatient, said, “Kid, I know there's a lot more you want to know, but you have to walk one step at a time, and eat one bite at a time. When your strength is sufficient, you will naturally know; knowing too much now won't do you any good!”

After leaving this message, Shen Xi felt a gentle force land on him.

When he opened his eyes again, he had already left his Sea of Consciousness and awakened.

“Brother Shen, are you alright?”

“Exactly! You suddenly froze in place, and no matter how much we called you, you didn't respond, which scared us.”

“Yi Yi and Zirou almost cried!”

“Nonsense! We didn't!”

His companions, seeing Shen Xi open his eyes, eagerly asked.

They had truly been frightened by Shen Xi.

They had agreed to leave the Sealed Land and head to the third Opportunity, but Shen Xi suddenly stood still and couldn't be woken up no matter how much they called.

“Sorry for worrying you. I just had a flash of inspiration and gained new insights into the Martial Dao, falling into a special state where I couldn't hear outside sounds.”

Shen Xi found an excuse to explain.

“An Epiphany?”

“You can have an Epiphany just by walking?”

“Wait! Brother Shen, you're already in the Dian Ling Realm?!”

“Oh my goodness, can it get any more outrageous? You broke through to the Dian Ling Realm in just this short amount of time?!”

“Heavens, you're too biased! Why can Brother Shen break through just by walking, while we, who Cultivate diligently and are still in the Acquired Realm, have to struggle to live?!”

His companions couldn't help but exclaim.

They had felt inferior in front of Shen Xi more than once.

They were all human, but how could the gap between people be even greater than the gap between people and pigs?!

They worked themselves to death just to break through a small Realm.

Shen Xi, without a word, made a big leap and directly entered the Dian Ling Realm?

“Luck, just good luck!”

Shen Xi waved his hands repeatedly.

There was no need to show off in front of friends.

“Forget it, I'll never compare myself to Brother Shen again. If I keep comparing, I'll start to doubt life.”

“Brother Shen is definitely not the same species as us; Cultivating is as simple as eating and drinking for him!”

“Let's go to the third Opportunity! I want to Breakthrough, I want to become stronger, I can't take this anymore!”

His companions sighed.

However, it was clear that they were mostly joking, and deep down, they were happy for Shen Xi.

Chatting and laughing, the group finally left the Sealed Land and headed towards the third Opportunity.

Stimulated by Shen Xi, everyone longed to seize the chance to Breakthrough and improve their strength at the third Opportunity… “Hahaha! I've finally successfully emerged from seclusion! Although I missed the opening of the Cultivation Method Cliff, the gains here are definitely no less, and perhaps even more astonishing, than those at the Cultivation Method Cliff!”

In a secluded corner of the First Zone.

Xue Ye, who had been missing for a long time, finally appeared.

He flew in mid-air, bursting into wild laughter.

Here, his gains were incredibly astonishing, and his combat power had undergone a qualitative improvement!
