Chat Groups in the Immortal Realm

The once bustling Scripture Pavilion was only filled with the sounds of Ann Sudong's footsteps.    

Right now, most people wanted to get a ticket to the universe. Those who already had the right to do so began to prepare nervously, with no one coming to the Compendium Pavilion to read.    

"Senior!" From a distance, Ann Sudong respectfully saluted when he saw Old Man Wen.    

He owed this old man far too much. The Soul Locking Technique and the Northern Dark Art were both taught to him by him, and he had only paid the price of a promise that he didn't need.    

Even if the real Master and Disciple couldn't teach him such a secret skill until the very last moment, Ann Sudong and his disciple didn't hide it from him.    

Old man Wen seemed to be asleep. When he heard someone come over, he opened his eyes and glanced at Ann Sudong. Then, his face was filled with surprise, "How did your cultivation advance so fast?"    

Although Ann Sudong didn't know how strong Old Man Wen was, he believed that he was unfathomable. Otherwise, how could he see through his cultivation realm?    

Ann Sudong smiled, "I just got lucky."    

Old man Wen didn't ask further. He just said, "Kid, don't just focus on pursuing your cultivation level. If you want to reach the peak, every step you take requires you to be solid and steady. Any kind of opportunistic actions will only affect your future advancement!"    

How could Ann Sudong not understand his intentions? He immediately cupped his hands and said, "This junior will definitely remember Senior's words."    

Elder Wen nodded his head with a smile, "Although your cultivation has improved very quickly, your basics have never shown any signs of instability. This old man doesn't understand how you did it."    

In reality, with the existence of the Reincarnation Tree, Ann Sudong only lasted for a year. How could his cultivation be unstable?    

Ann Sudong naturally wouldn't tell old man Wen about the storage bag and the Reincarnation Tree because he couldn't find out the other party's background. How could he reveal his greatest secret before determining whether the other party was a friend or foe?    

"Since you have improved so quickly, this old man should have told you earlier!" Old Man Wen sighed.    

"What is it that you want to tell me?"    

Old man Wen did not directly answer his question, but asked back, "What do you think the most a cultivator with Divine Realm can do is to challenge others with combat strength surpassing several levels?"    

Hm?    

Well, Ann Sudong frowned.    

There were basically no fourth-grade geniuses, and fifth-grade geniuses were only in the legends.    

However, Ann Sudong knew clearly in his heart that his combat strength was more than just fifth grade.    

Just based on strength alone, he was already over five ranks. With the secret techniques and treasures in his possession, it would not be a big problem for him to surpass seven ranks.    

"Senior, there must have been a prerequisite for a battle that transcended levels, right?"    

"For example, if I master Soul-Sealing Spell and meet someone seven ranks higher than me, my defense is zero. If I use Soul-Sealing Spell to subdue him, I'll have a fifty percent chance of winning."    

"If I count it this way, then I will have the ability to surpass seven levels."    

"However, there's someone else. He is clearly only five levels higher than me, but my Soul Locking Technique has no effect on him."    

"If that's the case, then my battle prowess is not even at the fifth rank."    

"So, I also don't know how to calculate my battle strength."    

Elder Wen laughed heartily and said, "That's right. You've already thought of that problem, but don't forget one thing. The prerequisite for fighting strength is one's strength. The level of talent refers to the difference in strength, not one's fighting strength."    

"Of course, if one was restrained in a certain area, it would be similar to the first situation you talked about. Even if one was strong, it would still be impossible to win. This will lead to people having a wrong estimation of their combat strength."    

"No power, everything is just a castle in the air!"    

Ann Sudong nodded his head. That was true. The two of them had the same strength, but because they practiced different secret techniques, their fighting capabilities were greatly different.    

This had nothing to do with talent or lack of effort, it was purely due to the difference in cultivation path.    

According to what old man Wen said, he was a fifth-grade genius. However, Ann Sudong knew that was not his limit because he felt that his power was still rising. It could even reach the level of a sixth-grade genius.    

"The power that you cultivated to the pinnacle when you were at the Golden Immortal Stage realm meant that you had perfectly polished each of your previous realms, otherwise you definitely wouldn't have reached that limit. However, if you continue to cultivate like this, you'll at most be a sixth level genius at best when you reach the pinnacle of the Supreme Elder realm."    

Sixth Pin, this has already become a legend in the legends, alright? Ann Sudong was stunned. From what the old man had said, this didn't seem like much.    

"Heh heh!" Lad, outside the universe, there's all sorts of strange things. The people who are not lacking in talents in Divine Realm. " Elder Wen shook his head and said, "When I was young, I flaunted myself as a genius. However, after travelling to the north and travelling to the south, I've seen all kinds of geniuses. Only then do I know that I'm just a frog in a well."    

Ann Sudong's face straightened as he said respectfully: "Please teach me!"    

Old man Wen nodded in satisfaction. Ann Sudong had a firm and unwavering personality, the most important thing was that he never had any pride. No wonder he could have such achievements.    

He took a deep breath and said slowly, "The limit of a genius should be tenth rank!"    

F * ck me!    

When those words were said, Ann Sudong almost thought that he misheard. The fifth rank is already a legend. Now, you're telling me that the limit is the tenth rank? Furthermore, the Tenth Rank that old man Wen spoke of was definitely a Tenth Rank in strength. It did not rely on any cultivation technique or secret techniques to produce an advantage in combat strength.    

However, could anyone really reach the tenth rank?    

For someone like him, he was already formidable enough to be almost perfect in every realm. However, old man Wen also said that in terms of mastery, he was at most a sixth-grade genius. This was a completely different level from a fifth-grade genius.    

"If you want to cross over a high realm to fight, only a tenth rank can do it."    

"You should know that even if you're a ninth rank genius, you still won't be able to cross the great gap. You, a supreme expert of the Great Perfection Stage, will still be beaten by an early Dao Severing stage cultivator!"    

Ann Sudong was extremely excited when he heard this. Before this, he had never heard of a major power being able to contend against a Dao Severing expert. If they were able to become a tenth rank genius, then this would become a possibility.    

Of course, only the peak of the previous realm could fight against the early stages of the next realm.    

For example, a Paragon and an early Dao Severing expert.    

"But senior, you just said that even if you cultivate to perfection in every realm, I will only be at most rank 6. Isn't that the opposite of what you said before?"    

Old man Wen smiled, "Young man, you are lacking in patience. Come, accompany this old man for a walk."    

As the two strolled by the lake, Old Man Wen finally spoke up. "You must know that the so-called great circle of power is actually not complete."
