Chapter 33: Naming the Realms

Although Jun Wu Xiao didn’t know where Yue Guang was cultivating, with his current speed, it wouldn’t take him long to find her.

Yue Guang, in her current cultivation, felt something approaching rapidly, so she turned to look. When she saw Jun Wu Xiao, she was extremely surprised by his speed, muttering to herself:

"So fast! Perhaps this time he has gained a great harvest. Moreover, you look a bit younger."

After breaking through and significantly extending his lifespan, his body had also rejuvenated. But it wasn’t to the extent of regressing to adolescence. After all, reversing aging was quite challenging.

Jun Wu Xiao also noticed the look in her eyes, knowing she had sensed that he had become much stronger. As for being slightly younger, he didn’t care. He chuckled and said:

"Ha ha ha, Yue Guang, I just made a breakthrough. This time it feels quite similar to the first time, like stepping into a new realm. My strength has tripled, and now, you’re no match for me."

He saw him speak with a hint of boasting, Yue Guang snorted:

"Huh, what are you boasting about? More than ten years later, I will also breakthrough."

Jun Wu Xiao saw that she seemed unimpressed, he patted her head and said:

"If you’re not impressed, then strive to cultivate. Right now, you can’t even withstand one punch from me."

He was now so fast that she couldn’t react in time to his movements. But she didn’t get angry, she avoided his hand and said:

"You said it’s quite similar to the first time, then does lifespan also increase, right?"

Jun Wu Xiao nodded and then said:

"Indeed, it does increase, but not by fifty years. This time it increases by a hundred years."

Yue Guang was surprised to hear that, but after thinking about it, she found it reasonable. After all, the time needed to break through to this stage was much longer than the first time. She said:

"It seems that in a short time, we don’t need to worry about dying of old age while cultivating."

"You’re not wrong. If we don’t increase our lifespan, we won’t have time to cultivate." Jun Wu Xiao nodded.

"And what about your strength specifically, what level are you at?" asked Yue Guang.

"It’s quite similar to the first breakthrough. Overall strength has tripled. But the part that’s been reinforced the most is the bones, not the flesh as before. Not to say the flesh hasn’t been strengthened, but it pales in comparison to the reinforcement of the bones." Jun Wu Xiao explained.

Yue Guang listened attentively, after all, there would come a time when she reached this realm, so knowing in advance was beneficial. Suddenly, a thought occurred to her, and she said:

"If there are differences between the two realms, they should have distinct names rather than just being counted as the amount of breakthroughs. Furthermore, I believe in the future we may experience breakthroughs into many other realms."

Jun Wu Xiao agreed, realizing the practicality of having names for these realms. He said:

"You’re right. These realms should have their own names. The current realm is not yet clear to me since I’ve just broken through, so I can’t name it. As for the realm before the breakthrough, it strengthens the body, primarily the flesh. Let’s call it the body refinement realm. Within this realm, there are four smaller stages from the first breakthrough: early stage, middle stage, late stage, and peak stage."

"Yue Guang, do you think the names I’ve chosen are alright?" he asked.

Yue Guang was also reflecting on the names he had just given. She found them quite understandable and truthful, so she nodded in agreement:

"I find them very clear, also expressing the characteristics of those realms."

"Good, then from now on, let’s decide to call them that." Jun Wu Xiao said.

Seeing Yue Guang’s somewhat regretful expression, he asked:

"Do you want to do something?"

"Ah, I want to spar with you in the current realm, but your current strength is absolutely overwhelming to me, so fighting wouldn’t be enjoyable. Right now I really want to fight you in the same realm. If I knew that, I would have fought once before, but now I can’t fight anymore." Yue Guang said.

She felt somewhat regretful for focusing on cultivation in the past instead of challenging Jun Wu Xiao when they were both at the peak of the body refinement realm.

Hearing this, Jun Wu Xiao also felt like sparring with her. Although it wasn’t possible at the moment, he believed there would be an opportunity. He said:

"You shouldn’t be so eager. In my opinion, the higher the realm, the longer the cultivation time. Perhaps by the time you break through, I haven’t broken through again yet."

Yue Guang found the explanation reasonable, so she felt a bit hopeful. She said:

"Alright, then when I make a breakthrough, I’ll challenge you to a fight. I’ll come to inspect, I’ve never fought to a draw with you before. Next time I want, I’ll be the winner."

After saying that, she immediately resumed her cultivation. Jun Wu Xiao found her attitude somewhat amusing, he thought:

"Ha ha, she seems quite passionate. Well, I hope the match then will truly be interesting."

Then he also resumed his cultivation, taking the opportunity to test his own limits. After a day of cultivation, he said:

"The cultivation time can range from fourteen hours a day to sixteen hours a day. That’s good, I’ll be able to break through faster."

Suddenly, he remembered Dao San Qian, and he said:

"Oh, I seem to have forgotten to inform him about my breakthrough. I should go tell him now, to make the path ahead clearer for him."

Dao San Qian was still cultivating at this time. He noticed something approaching so he thought it was Jun Wu Xiao or Yue Guang because after all, they had been here for a long time. Most large animals were scared away by the three of them, and even animals couldn’t reach him that fast.

"Have you made a breakthrough? This breakthrough seems not so simple. I feel like you’ve become much stronger than before." Dao San Qian asked.

"Ha ha, you’re not wrong. This breakthrough is quite similar to your first one. My overall strength has tripled, my lifespan increased by a hundred years, and my bones have been greatly reinforced. Furthermore, I’ve named your current realm. I call it the body refinement realm. The body refinement realm consists of four sub-realms: early stage, middle stage, late stage, and peak stage." Jun Wu Xiao said.

Dao San Qian also felt very surprised by what Jun Wu Xiao had achieved after the breakthrough. However, he thought Jun Wu Xiao’s naming seemed a bit rushed, so he said:

"Are you naming it a bit too early? After all, there are only a few cultivators you know."

Jun Wu Xiao obviously had considered this issue when naming it, he replied:

"You’re not wrong. Indeed, I don’t know many cultivators, but that’s not important. Let’s just go with it for now. If there are any mistakes in the future, we can correct them."

Dao San Qian nodded. After all, it was just a name, and no matter what it was called, it wouldn’t change its essence. Besides, the name sounded reasonable, so for now, they could consider it correct.

"Just focus on cultivating. If you want to protect the world, you need to become much stronger." Jun Wu Xiao said.

When it came to his path, Dao San Qian’s expression became extremely serious. He replied:

"My path, I will pursue it to the end."

Then Jun Wu Xiao left the place and returned to rest.
