Chapter 352: Chapter 351: Life and Death, Nirvana, King

"Wow!"

Yu Shu was about to speak when suddenly a flush of red appeared on her face, and she opened her mouth to vomit a mouthful of fresh blood.

Zhong Lin’s eyes flashed with divine light as he said, "It seems that Your Highness is seriously injured; you should heal yourself first!"

Yu Shu endured the pain on her body and took out a fist-sized fruit from her storage bracelet. The fruit was completely crimson, covered with small scales, resembling snake scales.

"This is a Dragon Scale Fruit. The Elder of the Night Snake Sect ambushed and pursued me because of it. Since you saved my life, I’m willing to give you this item. I hope you can protect me for a while."

Zhong Lin gave Yu Shu a deep look. He recognized the Dragon Scale Fruit; it was a kind of body refinement spiritual object. It was said that the fruit contained dragon blood, greatly enhancing one’s physical body after consumption. To put it this way, if Long Zhao were to consume this Dragon Scale Fruit, he could potentially push his Dragon Elephant Golden Body directly to the Eighth Layer of Perfection. If not for the Ninth Layer requiring the absorption of Gold Qi to temper the body, it would even be impossible to cultivate the Dragon Elephant Golden Body directly.

Yu Shu risked her life to obtain this treasure, and she was willing to give it directly to Zhong Lin, making him look at her with new appreciation.

"Very well."

Zhong Lin reached out and accepted it.

Yu Shu’s face also showed a hint of joy as she took out an elixir and swallowed it, then sat cross-legged and began to heal her injuries.

As a princess, and the king’s most beloved daughter, she naturally lacked no healing holy medicines. It was just that the Night Snake Sect Elder pursued her so closely that she didn’t even have time to rest cross-legged for a moment.

Within the time it takes for a cup of tea, Yu Shu was surrounded by green smoke, and a moment later she opened her eyes, fully restored in spirit.

"Thank you, sir."

"It’s just a transaction. Since Your Highness’s injuries have healed, let’s part ways here."

Zhong Lin didn’t want to entangle with her further and turned to leave.

"Wait a moment."

Yu Shu’s figure flashed and directly blocked Zhong Lin’s path.

"I observe that you have already achieved perfection in Yun Ling cultivation. I assume you have entered the Xuanling Secret Realm this time for the Golden Origin Fruit. How about we accompany each other? I have a map given by my father, and you possess great combat strength. Together, we could have a greater chance at acquiring the Golden Essence Fruit.

Within the Xuanling Secret Realm, there are many treasure medicines that assist in enhancing the grade of the Xuandan during condensation. The Golden Origin Fruit is one of them, and it’s among the top tier ones. With its help, even the worst case scenario would allow a Xuandan to condense at the Middle Third Grades. If used as the main ingredient to refine a Golden Origin Pill, there’s even a chance to condense a Third Grade Xuandan of the Top Grade."

"Only Third Grade?"

Zhong Lin frowned slightly. Even the Golden Origin Fruit could only help condense a Third Grade Xuandan. Third Grade may belong to the Top Grade, but it still left him a bit disappointed.

Yu Shu rolled her eyes at this comment and said with a hint of helplessness, "Only Third Grade? Do you even realize that Third Grade is within the Top Grade Xuandan? Were you expecting a Second Grade Xuandan or something?"

"Why not?"

"Do you really think Second Grade Xuandan is like Chinese cabbage? Only true prodigies have the potential to condense such a Xuandan. Those who can condense a Second Grade Xuandan are Heaven’s Chosen, capable of becoming true disciples even in a holy land."

Zhong Lin felt a shock in his heart. He didn’t realize the significance of Third Grade and Second Grade Xuandan was so profound. Even Long Zhao didn’t know this since he joined the Sea Suppressing Sect just before it was annihilated, and there was a lot of confidential information he was unaware of.

"May I ask, Your Highness, what level can a true disciple of a holy land reach if they do not fall?" Zhong Lin inquired curiously.

All he had heard was that the holy land was powerful, but how powerful it was had always piqued his curiosity. Now, from Yu Shu’s words, he understood that only those who could condense a Second Grade Xuandan had the qualification to become a true disciple of the holy land. It made Zhong Lin very curious about the strength of the disciples of the holy land.

Yu Shu pondered for a moment and said, "Different true disciples of the holy land have varying potentials. But speaking of the true disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land, their prospective true disciples, if they do not fall midway, are almost guaranteed to enter the Life and Death Realm and have a significant chance to advance into the Nirvana Realm.

As for the true disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land, if they do not fall prematurely, they will surely enter the Nirvana Realm and all have the potential to become Kings. However, it’s only potential; whether they become Kings is uncertain."

These words left Zhong Lin’s heart in turmoil, pondering over what Yu Shu had just said.

Life and Death, Nirvana, King.

Postnatal, Innate, Spiritual Origin, Transcendent, Xuandan, Yin and Yang, Life and Death...

Thus, the realms after the Life and Death Realm are Nirvana Realm, King Realm...

This shows the drawback of lacking inheritance; even basic information is unknown.

"What is the King Realm?"

Zhong Lin eagerly asked.

"I don’t know. Such figures are beyond my knowledge. However, I heard from my father that such supreme beings are invincible, where their domain is self-contained, with divine kingdoms descending, akin to deities."

Yu Shu’s eyes were full of fervor and her face was filled with longing.

"You just mentioned that those who condense Second Grade Xuandan have the potential to become Kings. Does that mean First Grade Xuandan are figures like the Saint Heirs of the holy land, destined to enter the King Realm?" Zhong Lin asked.

"How could that be? My father told me that the King Realm is a massive watershed. Even a Saint Heir of the holy land may not necessarily condense a First Grade Xuandan, and even if they do, they can’t claim they will definitely enter the King Realm. In the end, the Xuandan Realm is just one realm. The quality of the Xuandan is crucial, but it is not an absolute measure of a prodigy’s potential.

Moreover, there are many holy lands in this world, and even more Saint Heirs. Each holy land produces new Saint Heirs every so often. Yet, looking at the entire Qingyuan World, a King Realm expert may not emerge in a millennium, which shows how difficult it is.

In truth, the difference between a Saint Heir and a true disciple is that they have defeated the true disciples of the same generation, representing a holy land’s reputation. It’s not that Saint Heirs are vastly stronger than true disciples; the gap isn’t that large.

Of course, there are instances during special times where a Saint Heir is so prodigious that true disciples of the same generation cannot compare to them in any way.

Those truly prodigious Saint Heirs, if they do not fall, have a great chance of stepping into the King Realm in the future, and they are the ones that major holy lands strive to cultivate." Yu Shu said a lot at once, and after hearing this long discussion, Zhong Lin couldn’t help but feel a bit disheartened and fell into silence.

The once soaring ambition in his heart had been somewhat shaken.

Zhong Lin had traveled from the Xuan Gui Continent all the way to the Luoxing Islands, then to New Moon Island, and now to the Heavenly Sea Country. He was no longer the naive youth he once was. He understood how much help a faction could provide in one’s growth in martial arts.

If he hadn’t met his Master and joined the Sword Cauldron Sect, just the cultivation techniques for Blood Coagulation and Qi Cultivation in the Postnatal Realm would have been enough to hinder his progress, let alone all the elixirs used for cultivation.

Even the Saint Heirs nurtured by the holy land may not be able to condense a First Grade Xuandan. Strictly speaking, he was just a loose cultivator lacking cultivation techniques, resources, and guidance. To think of condensing a First Grade Xuandan, if told to others, one doesn’t know what kind of ridicule he would face.
