During the evening banquet, Yang Kai excitedly took out a cash card loaded with one hundred million and a property transfer contract, and asked Ji Yunsheng, "Senior, here is a card with one hundred million in cash and the transfer contract for this villa. I wonder if you would be willing to examine my son? Why is his cultivation talent so poor? He has been cultivating since he was a child and has barely reached the Mid Martial Artist stage. He is not even as fast as my grandson here. Although I have stepped into the Innate Martial Artist realm myself now, I still cannot figure out what is wrong." Hearing that there was more money to be made, not to mention a villa worth over two billion, Ji Yunsheng used his divine sense to examine Yang Changtian's condition, then said, "Your son is slow at cultivation because he is not suited for the path of martial arts." Upon hearing this, Yang Kai looked somewhat dejected, but then Ji Yunsheng added, "However! He is actually quite suited to cultivate immortality."
Yang Kai asked, a mix of joy and confusion, "May I ask what this cultivation of immortality that Senior speaks of is?" Ji Yunsheng replied, "Cultivation of immortality is just being an Immortal cultivator like me, only the method of cultivation is different." Hearing this, Yang Kai and his two grandchildren were completely astonished. Regaining his senses, Yang Kai asked, "So Immortal cultivators really exist! Is it possible for my son to become a disciple under Senior's tutelage?" Ji Yunsheng was left speechless as well; even if Yang Changtian was suited for immortal cultivation, he was already too old and could at best only reach the Golden Core stage. He then said, "As for taking him as a disciple, forget it. In a year or two, you can go to Kunlun and find Luo Yang. The place where he cultivates is the ruins of a dilapidated Immortal sect. When you get there, tell him I sent you to find him. As for whether you can get cultivation techniques, that depends entirely on your negotiation skills. The techniques there are quite suitable for your son."
Hearing this, Yang Kai was overjoyed and said, "So Senior actually knows Lord Luo Yang! I heard that Senior Luo Yang is a Peak Late Innate Martial Artist, but unfortunately he has been stuck right before breaking through to the Divine Realm Martial Artist level for decades. Otherwise, Huaxia would have gained yet another Divine Realm Martial Artist." Ji Yunsheng replied, "I'm not close to him. I just happened to meet him this time when I went to Kunlun. He answered a question of mine, so I casually helped him break through—though it's only at the Great Martial Master realm anyway." At this, the grandfather and his two grandsons were even more astonished and completely dumbfounded, thinking to themselves, *"He can casually enable a Peak Late Innate Martial Artist to break through to the Divine Realm? Just how strong is Senior?"* Yang Kai snapped back to reality and asked, "Right, Senior, what was this Great Martial Master you mentioned? Could it be a Divine Realm Martial Artist?" Ji Yunsheng replied, "Mhm, Divine Realm Martial Artists are simply at the martial Great Martial Master realm. 'Divine Realm Martial Artist' is just what you people call it."
Yang Kai asked, "Might Senior enlighten us on the true grading of martial arts realms?" Ji Yunsheng answered, "I'll tell you then. The grading of martial arts realms in the mortal world goes: Martial Disciple, Martial Artist, Martial Master, Great Martial Master, Martial King, Martial Ancestor, Martial Venerable, Martial Emperor, Martial Deity, and Martial God. Beyond the Martial God are the realms attained after ascending. What you people currently call Martial Artists, Grandmasters, Innate Martial Artists, and Divine Realm Martial Artists are merely the first four realms of martial arts. Alright, I shouldn't tell you too much or you won't understand anyway, seeing as you are still far too weak." The three of them expressed their astonishment with a sigh, exclaiming, "So there are actually so many realms in martial arts!" Yang Kai then asked, "May I ask what this ascension that Senior mentioned is? Is it ascending to the legendary Immortal Realm? If I may be so bold, what realm is Senior himself in?" Ji Yunsheng answered, "Whether it's ascending to the Immortal Realm, I have no idea myself, as I've never been there either. My realm? You probably won't believe it if I told you—I don't even know what realm I'm in myself. In short, it's above the Martial God." Hearing this reply, they were utterly stunned: *Oh shit, above the Martial God! Doesn't that make him an Immortal?!* Watching the three of them display such astonished expressions, Ji Yunsheng was left speechless. Ignoring them completely, he went back to eating the evening banquet. After all, these dishes were things he had only ever seen on his mobile phone before and had never actually tasted, so he happily helped himself.
After being shaken for a moment, the three of them snapped back to their senses and, seeing Ji Yunsheng eating, chose not to disturb him. Deep down, their reverence for Ji Yunsheng grew even greater, for this was a living, genuine Immortal—someone they previously thought existed only in legends and fictional novels. After the banquet concluded, and after arranging Ji Yunsheng's lodging, the three men returned to their rooms to digest everything they had heard today, as each piece of news was more shocking than the last. Back in his room, Ji Yunsheng sat on the bed and began studying the cultivation techniques from Kunlun to see if any of them were useful to him. After looking them over for a while and trying to practice them, he discovered that the spiritual energy produced by this cultivation was simply incomparable to the energy already inside his body; it was so weak that if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't even know the spiritual energy was there. Ji Yunsheng muttered speechlessly, "And here I thought it was a technique that could at least cultivate up to Nascent Soul. What the hell, I actually thought this could enhance my power a bit. Fuck, what absolute trash." In truth, what Ji Yunsheng did not know was that ever since his momentary enlightenment followed by the creation of Xuwu, he had already preliminarily grasped several Great Daos including Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, life and death, and stellar reincarnation. He had essentially laid the initial framework of a miniature world and could already be considered to have reached the Dao Lord Realm of the Hongmeng Dao Realm—and a tremendously powerful Dao Lord at that. Why call him the strongest Dao Lord? Which Dao Lord didn't have to cultivate step by step? Moreover, they didn't necessarily advance to the Dao Lord realm by mastering these supreme Great Daos. If the Dao Lords of the Hongmeng Dao Realm knew of this, they would certainly curse aloud: *"This guy has it good, starting right off at the Dao Lord level, and what the hell, he's mastered so many of the supreme Great Daos! Have I spent hundreds of millions of years cultivating for nothing, throwing it all away to the dogs?! Why can't I ever catch a break like this?! And how do you even have the nerve to call a Nascent Soul technique trash? Can a Great Dao even be compared to a Nascent Soul technique? Nascent Soul techniques haven't even touched the power of laws yet, how could they possibly compare?!"* Following that, Ji Yunsheng crossed his legs once more, began perfecting his own technique, and continued his cultivation.
