Chapter 331 A Physique with Limitless Potential: The Undying Phoenix Physique!

"Old Grandfather, can you tell us more about it?"

Hearing Sword Elder's words, Lin Xiyue's eyes instantly lit up like a curious baby, eager to know more secrets.

Li Fan also pricked up his ears; he was equally filled with yearning for the legendary Saint Realm.

"Hehe, based on your current level, knowing these Realms too early won't actually do you any good. It's easy to become overly ambitious and ruin your state of mind."

Sword Elder stroked his beard and shook his head with a smile.

But seeing the expectant looks on Lin Xiyue and Li Fan's faces, he ultimately couldn't resist his desire to teach.

"Fine."

"Since Girl Lin has asked, I will make an exception and explain it simply to you both."

"It will give you a general understanding of the road ahead."

Sword Elder cleared his throat, his expression turning a bit more solemn.

"Usually, in the eyes of those below the Saint Realm, the Saint Realm seems like just one major Realm, collectively referred to as Saint."

"But in reality, in the eyes of the truly powerful, the Saint Realm is the long road leading to the Emperor Realm!"

"It is not a single Realm, but a ladder to the heavens composed of four major Realms!"

"They are... the Saint Realm, the Saint Lord Realm, the Saint King Realm, and that final Realm—the Holy Venerable Realm!"

Sword Elder revealed the divisions of the Saint Realm,

and Lin Xiyue and Li Fan firmly committed these four Realms to memory,

feeling as if a door to a new world had opened before them.

"So there are actually four major Realms within the Saint Realm!"

"I've really learned something new this time!"

"I used to think that once you became a Saint, you could walk with your head held high anywhere, but who knew the water was so deep!"

Lin Xiyue nodded in realization, her eyes filled with wonder.

However, she then seemed to think of something else and continued to ask:

"Then Old Grandfather, above the Holy Venerable, is it the legendary Quasi-Emperor?"

"Correct!"

Sword Elder gave her an appreciative look.

"Taking one step further from Holy Venerable is indeed the Quasi-Emperor!"

"But... as long as it touches the word 'Emperor', it belongs to the Domain of the Emperor Dao!"

"That is a true qualitative change, a supreme sublimation of the level of life!"

Speaking to this point, a deep sigh entered Sword Elder's tone.

"So this step, which seems like only a thin line away, has trapped countless brilliant Holy Venerables throughout the ages."

"How many heroes could only end their journey here, falling gloomily before that natural chasm and turning into a handful of yellow soil..."

Listening to Sword Elder's somewhat world-weary lament, both of them fell into silence.

The path of cultivation is indeed harder the further up you go!

"Then... Sword Elder."

Just then, the previously silent Li Fan suddenly spoke.

He looked at Sword Elder with burning eyes and asked an extremely bold question:

"Which Realm of the holy path were you once in?"

Since Sword Elder was so familiar with these Realms and even called that Burning Heaven Holy Venerable 'Stinky Girl',

his strength back then definitely couldn't have been low!

"Hehe, about that!"

Facing his disciple's probing, Sword Elder only gave him a half-smiling glance, keeping him in suspense.

"Now is not the time for you to know."

"When you can walk a bit further on this path of cultivation, I will naturally tell you."

"However..."

Sword Elder paused, his tone carrying a strong sense of confidence and pride.

"You only need to know that back then, even in front of those old Holy Venerable monsters, my sword never fell behind!"

Although Sword Elder didn't say it explicitly, the meaning in his words was already very clear.

Lin Xiyue and Li Fan exchanged a look, both having an idea in their hearts.

He definitely wasn't below the Holy Venerable Realm!

It was even highly likely that he was among the small group of people at the Peak of the Holy Venerable Realm!

Otherwise, how could he have interacted as an equal with the Revered Master of the Burning Heaven Holy Venerable back then?

Even now, upon learning that Huang Feiyan was already a Holy Venerable, Sword Elder still maintained an attitude of naturally treating her as a Junior.

This was enough to show that back then, Sword Elder was definitely a major figure at the Holy Venerable level who could shock an entire region!

"Old Grandfather, do you have any other news about that Burning Heaven Holy Venerable?"

"I feel like what you just said doesn't quite let us know what kind of person she specifically is."

Lin Xiyue didn't dwell on the previous question but pulled the topic back on track.

After all, her brother was about to go and seek refuge with her, so the more detailed the information, the better.

"You've asked the right person."

Sword Elder chuckled, a light of memory flashing in his eyes.

"As an old friend of that fellow Ziyang, I spent quite a bit of time in the Yanyang Holy Land back then."

"My understanding of that Stinky Girl is truly not bad!"

"Speaking of which..."

"Although that Stinky Girl has a fiery temper and isn't very likable, her talent is truly beyond reproach!"

"In her generation, she beat almost all the Prodigies!"

"Whether it was the Saint of a Holy Land or the Imperial Prince of a Divine Dynasty, they were all beaten into submission before her."

"Until I met my calamity and fell, I never heard of her suffering a single defeat!"

"She could be called truly... invincible among her generation!"

When Sword Elder introduced Huang Feiyan's battle record, a look of admiration couldn't help but appear on his face!

"Whoa, beating all the Prodigies without a single defeat!"

"That powerful?"

"She sounds like a legend!"

Lin Xiyue listened with her mouth slightly agape, looking surprised.

Beating everyone of the same generation without a match—what a domineering woman she must be!

"Such a person must surely possess an extraordinary Physique, right?"

Li Fan pondered for a moment and suddenly said.

In his understanding, to be invincible among one's generation, besides having superb Comprehension Ability, a Physique was definitely an indispensable part.

Just like Brother Mo, with the Taiyin Sacred Body, his combat power was off the charts!

"Yes, boy, you guessed right."

Sword Elder nodded affirmatively.

"That Stinky Girl does indeed possess an extremely special Physique!"

"It is called—the Undying Immortal Phoenix Body!"

"Undying Immortal Phoenix Body?"

Lin Xiyue repeated the name, feeling a surge of dominance.

"What a domineering name!"

"I wonder how it compares to Qing Yi's Taiyin Sacred Body?"

"Well... that's hard to say!"

Sword Elder frowned, seemingly thinking about how to compare them.

"You don't know, the potential of the Undying Immortal Phoenix Body is considered infinite!"

"From this perspective, the Taiyin Sacred Body is even far inferior to it!"

"What?!"

Sword Elder's words were startling, leaving the two of them a bit dazed.

Infinite potential?

Doesn't that mean an infinite ceiling?

Does such a broken Physique really exist in this world?

"Do you think this Physique seems a bit too ridiculous?"

Seeing their shocked expressions, Sword Elder shook his head with a smile.

"But in reality, that's just theory!"

"The Undying Immortal Phoenix Body is born with control over Nirvana Fire!"

"Through this fire, one can continuously undergo Nirvana and evolve!"

"Thereby breaking through one's own shackles again and again, raising the upper limit of one's potential!"

"But the problem is..."

Sword Elder's tone shifted, becoming serious.

"The conditions required for each Nirvana of this Physique are also extremely harsh! One might even say perverted!"

"It not only requires a massive amount of resources but also certain specific Heavenly Treasures as catalysts."

"And the further one goes, the greater the difficulty of Nirvana, and the higher the risk!"

"This leads to the fact that no Undying Immortal Phoenix Body can truly undergo Nirvana infinitely!"

"Those with this Physique will often completely fail to meet the conditions for Nirvana at a certain stage."

"Thus, they get stuck there, unable to advance even a single inch."

Speaking to this point, a hint of emotion flashed in Sword Elder's eyes.

"But if I remember correctly, that Stinky Girl Huang Feiyan's Nirvana was relatively smooth back then."

"She successfully made it through every Nirvana."

"I just don't know if she, who is now a Holy Venerable, can take another step and enter the Quasi-Emperor Realm?"

Sword Elder was somewhat curious.

Most owners of the Undying Immortal Phoenix Body in history eventually stopped at the Holy Venerable Realm, unable to cross that chasm.

Only a very few exceptionally brilliant individuals barely managed to enter the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

As for becoming a Great Emperor... there hasn't been a single one!

"The reason is none other than the fact that after becoming a Quasi-Emperor, an Undying Immortal Phoenix Body wishing to undergo Nirvana again finds it as difficult as ascending to heaven!"

"It could be said that its difficulty is countless times greater than a Mortal Body proving the dao to become a Great Emperor!"

"Naturally, no one would succeed."

"So, this is also the greatest sorrow of the Undying Immortal Phoenix Body."

"Success comes from Nirvana, and failure comes from Nirvana!"
