#2048 - Surpassing yourself is the way to go

Cang Tian and Ba Feng were both silent.

Fan Hai and Qi Huang were the same.

Throughout the Heaven-Bestowed Battle, their respective states happened to have those two teams.

During the state competition, they nearly didn't survive.

That group was too strong, so strong that they couldn't match them with any means, completely crushed.

Even with Cang Tian's talent, he was no match for them.

After all, his realm was inferior. Even using forbidden techniques, he was still easily crushed.

The opponents didn't even fully sublimate.

At the last moment, seeing their lives were in danger, a mysterious force helped them escape the duel stage.

Until now, they still haven't figured out where that mysterious force came from.

"Lord Jun, be careful. Those people's methods are extraordinary.

They themselves might not be as strong as Heavenly God experts, but they must have trump cards.

Once they use their trump cards, they can likely contend with Heavenly Gods.

If they didn't have such confidence, how dare they look at you with such provocative eyes?"

Qi Huang's expression was solemn as he voiced his opinion.

"No need to worry, just a group of cultivators from an unknown universe.

They are indeed talented and can be considered upper-level bloodlines with a high level of Divine Restriction Domain.

However, to pose a threat to me, they are still lacking."

Jun Wuxie patted Qi Huang's shoulder, his tone calm.

"What ancient bloodline is this group from?!"

Ba Feng's eyes flashed with purple runes as he activated his pupil technique, looking at those people from afar. "Their realm hasn't reached the Heavenly God Realm yet, but they are already in the Hundred Lifetimes Myth realm!

To have such growth intensity and achieve such accomplishments in this realm, only the top-tier bloodlines among the ancient bloodlines could do it!

My Overlord Body bloodline should be considered quite outstanding among the world's ancient bloodlines.

But now, it's only at the peak of the Ten Directions Myth…

Along the way, I've also received the blessing of many opportunities and good fortune.

Could it be that those people are born with prosperous luck, and each of them has higher opportunities and good fortune than us?"

"It's not just about opportunities and good fortune that can lead to such achievements.

The growth limit of bloodline talent is different, and the upper limit of the Divine Restriction Domain that can be reached at different stages is also different.

For example, with your Overlord Body bloodline, if you have enough Divine Restriction resources of corresponding grade, you can break through to the Quasi-Hundred Lifetimes Myth realm.

Because in the True God Realm, your talent growth limit happens to be able to reach the Quasi-Hundred Lifetimes Myth realm.

Cang Tian's bloodline strength is slightly higher. In this realm, his upper limit is the First Heaven of the Hundred Lifetimes Myth.

Those people's bloodlines are not stronger than yours.

The reason they can break through the limit of bloodline potential in this realm is that there is a special reason, forcibly raising their upper limit at this stage.

It's similar to pulling up seedlings to help them grow.

In this way, they can be extremely talented in the early stages, grow astonishingly, suppress bloodlines of the same level, and even suppress bloodlines that are slightly stronger than them.

However, as the realm improves and the road of cultivation reaches the middle stage, they will show a decline.

In the end, the ultimate limit that their bloodline growth can reach will also be greatly affected.

When they reach a certain realm, they will be suppressed by bloodlines of the same level to the point of having no power to resist, becoming abandoned children of the great wave of the era."

"So that's how it is. There are actually such methods in the world?

Don't they know the drawbacks themselves?

Looking at their appearance, they should be from major sects and forces.

Their elders should know, how could they agree to them using that kind of quick-gain method to improve themselves?"

Ba Feng and the others were full of doubts and felt unable to understand.

Just based on the perception of bloodline power, he didn't think his bloodline was weaker than the opponent's.

But the opponent was really too strong.

Not to mention the gap in realm, even in the same realm, he was far from being their match.

That group of people were all experts in the Hundred Lifetimes Myth realm, which was really outrageous.

You should know that the existence of the Hundred Lifetimes Myth, even the imperial concubines around Lord Jun are probably not many.

Which of Lord Jun's imperial concubines isn't a stunningly talented daughter of heaven?

Could they be world-shaking ancient bloodlines!

"You should have suffered a lot of setbacks in your hearts during the state competition, and your Dao hearts have been impacted?"

Jun Wuxie's gaze was so sharp that he had already seen the clues on them.

Over the years, they had hardly encountered anyone who could suppress them without relying on realm on their cultivation path.

But they encountered so many in the state competition half a year ago, so it's not surprising that they "doubted their lives".

Cang Tian and Ba Feng were both stunned, and then nodded in agreement.

Fan Hai and Qi Huang, who were relatively more unrestrained in nature, still nodded along.

Their hearts were also hit.

Throughout their lives of cultivation, they only encountered setbacks after embarking on the Path of Eternity and met many strong enemies.

Except for Lord Jun, the other enemies they encountered would not make them feel powerless.

But the experts of those two teams really made them feel a sense of powerlessness that was difficult to resist.

In the past, the invincible opponents they encountered were not much stronger than them in terms of talent. If there was a gap, it was also limited.

The biggest gap was in the realm.

However, the invincible strong enemies at that time were older than them, had longer cultivation time, and higher realms, which was understandable.

But the people of these two teams seemed to be younger than them, but their realms were higher than them, and their talent growth intensity was even more so.

"Don't look at cultivators from different universes with the same eyes as those from the same universe world.

It's normal for them to have shorter cultivation time and higher realms than you.

They were born in divine-level sects and aristocratic families, and the world they live in has divine spiritual energy.

Does the world you were born in have it?

With different starting points, early achievements are naturally different.

If we're talking about realm, my realm is the lowest, and I've cultivated for a longer time than them.

I started cultivating from the lower realm with only low-level spiritual energy, and it took me more than ten years to step by step reach the upper realm.

In the path of cultivation, don't look at how strong others are or how high their achievements are, and don't set goals for yourself based on the achievements and heights of others.

Cultivation is about walking your own path, not copying someone else's path.

You only need to remember that what you need to surpass is yourself, and to make your own path as perfect as possible is what you should pursue.

You should have your own standards and your own goals, instead of setting goals by referring to others."

Cang Tian, Ba Feng, Fan Hai, and Qi Huang were all greatly shocked.

Suddenly, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and the knot in their hearts was suddenly cleared.

Yes, just as Lord Jun said, why bother comparing with others?

Why make others your goal?

It's better to be yourself, constantly surpassing yourself. That's the kingly way, instead of focusing on others and putting the cart before the horse.

Seeing that they seemed to have understood something, Jun Wuxie said: "Return to your respective positions, the ultimate competition is about to begin."

Cang Tian, Ba Feng, Fan Hai, and Qi Huang came back to their senses, nodded together, and returned to their original mountain peaks.

The surroundings were a bit noisy, and people from all states were discussing.

Jun Wuxie gave Jing Ya's clone a look.

Above the high heavens, a piece of order light bloomed.

Immediately, order condensed into a large clock.

Dong—

The melodious clock sound shook the mountains and rivers, echoing endlessly in the sky.

"The Heaven-Bestowed Battle's ultimate competition is about to begin.

The rules are as follows.

The ultimate competition is a free challenge mode.

Any team member can step onto the stage to accept challenges from members of other teams.

If no team member offstage challenges a team member onstage, the team member onstage can freely choose any team offstage to challenge, and the challenged team must not refuse the challenge, otherwise it will be treated as abandonment.

The ultimate competition abandons the points system and changes to a win-loss elimination system.

Anyone who fails on the duel stage will be eliminated and cannot represent the team to compete again.

This continues until the top eight and top three are determined.

The ultimate competition, the top three from the five states, a total of fifteen teams, all participants will receive rewards.

Teams that do not enter the top eight will receive a participation award of three grade three initial-level divine pills."

In an instant, the quiet arena instantly boiled over.

People almost couldn't believe their ears.

Didn't they hear wrong?

The Voice of Heaven said that the participation award for those who didn't enter the top eight was actually three grade three initial-level divine pills!

The participation award is actually grade three!

People couldn't help but envy and hate.

Lord Heaven is giving away resources.

"Quiet."

The ethereal Voice of Heaven echoed between heaven and earth, cold and majestic, with mighty heavenly power.

Instantly, the noisy scene became silent in an instant.

"The teams from fourth to eighth place in the ultimate competition will receive ten grade three sub-intermediate divine pills.

The third-place team will receive ten grade three intermediate divine pills.

The second-place team will receive ten grade three sub-advanced divine pills.

The first-place team will receive ten grade three intermediate divine pills, ten grade three sub-advanced divine pills, and ten grade three advanced divine pills.

If the first-place team successfully passes the limit challenge, they will receive a key to an unknown secret realm treasure and six grade three advanced divine fruits.

Collecting the keys to the unknown secret realm treasure can open the unknown secret realm in the Heaven-Bestowed Mountains to explore the secret realm treasure.

The rules and rewards are all known.

Now, the Heaven-Bestowed Battle's ultimate competition officially begins, and all teams can freely challenge."

As the Voice of Heaven fell, the entire arena was silent.

For a time, everyone tacitly maintained silence.

The expressions on people's faces were still as shocked as before, and they didn't seem to have recovered from the shock.

After a few breaths of time, the silent arena suddenly boiled over.

A burst of noise.

People were extremely excited and discussed endlessly about the rewards for the top three.

Especially the first place prize, the rewards are too generous, there's even a Rank Three High-Grade Divine Pill!

It's simply unimaginable.

That kind of pill is for those at the Heavenly God Great Perfection stage, and at its best, it can help them cultivate to the peak of the Heavenly God Great Perfection stage, infinitely close to the Limit Heavenly stage.

Moreover, the first place reward, this Rank Three High-Grade Divine Pill, actually includes a full ten pills!

Adding up all the rewards from the Heaven-Bestowed Battle State Competition and the Ultimate Competition, how many Heavenly God Realm experts will be produced in the future?

And that unknown Secret Realm treasure!

The key to opening the treasure is a reward only obtained by completing the Limit Challenge, and being the first to clear it.

I don't know what kind of peerless treasures are hidden inside that secret realm, but it's certain that the treasures inside will definitely exceed imagination.

Otherwise, how could obtaining the key be so difficult?

"Unknown Secret Realm treasure…"

The corners of the mouths of those cultivators from a certain True Universe slightly raised.

The secret realm is definitely not simple, I don't know what kind of good fortune is hidden, that would make the Heavenly Dao divide the key to opening it into so many pieces, and set it as a reward for the first clear of the Limit Challenge.

Over the years, they have clarified through various channels that the youth respected as the Monarch God by the people of this world has passed the Limit Challenge in every level of the competition and obtained the key.

"Unknown treasure, you should be interested, right?"

Two team members from a certain True World were talking to each other.

"Otherwise what? The method to obtain the key to open it is the first clear of the Limit Challenge, which is enough to show the weight of the secret realm.

I know what you mean, you want us to deliberately throw the match on the duel stage, so that the guy surnamed Jun can smoothly get first place, pass the Limit Challenge, gather the keys, and open the secret realm?"

"That's right, it's easy to talk to smart people.

That guy surnamed Jun is a special body cultivator, his physical divine power can penetrate the inviolability of the Order Body without using laws.

Only he can get the final key.

Although we have many methods, they all rely on laws, no matter how strong they are, they are useless against the Order Body.

The last time we tried the Limit Challenge, we already consumed our only pure-strength artifact, and barely passed.

Now, it's no longer possible.

Besides, the other keys are all in his hands.

When he gathers all the keys and opens the secret realm, we can just follow him in.

The Voice of the Heavenly Dao didn't say that others are not allowed to enter after the secret realm is opened, which means that others can enter.

The things inside must be more abundant than the rewards for first place.

At that time, we will kill that guy surnamed Jun inside the secret realm.

A mere body cultivator, although he has the power to kill Heavenly Gods, his strength is at most equivalent to the Middle Heavenly stage of the Heavenly God.

We have all kinds of methods, as long as we activate them, their power will be extremely strong, and even the Great Heavenly stage experts of the Heavenly God can contend against them.

There are no such strong people in this world at all, killing him is no different than crushing a strong ant."

They are very confident.

After coming to this world for many years, they have already figured out the cultivation system of this world.

The first half of the God Realm in this world is equivalent to the Longevity Secret Realm of their world.

The Half-God Realm to the God Emperor Realm corresponds to the seven major realms from the first to the seventh transformation of their Longevity Secret Realm.

The Lesser Heavenly, Middle Heavenly, Great Heavenly, Limit Heavenly, and Absolute Heavenly correspond to the early, middle, late, peak, and perfection stages of each major realm.

The Heavenly God Realm is their third transformation of the Longevity Secret Realm.

The Longevity Secret Realm is the path to immortality, after the seventh transformation, one can be listed among the immortals and enter the realm of True Immortals.

True Immortals are the Ancestral Gods above the God Emperors in the God Realm cultivation system of this world.

Their world uses the most ancient immortal system, while this world uses the god system created in later generations.

"Well, although that's the case, for the sake of prudence, it's better for us to ask the Heavenly Dao.

I just don't know if we can get a response.

If that guy surnamed Jun opens the secret realm and others can't enter, wouldn't we be giving the first place to him for nothing?

This matter needs to be considered carefully, ask clearly, and make a decision after getting a definite answer is not too late.

What do you say?"

"Of course, let's ask the Heavenly Dao of this world."

……

They have already reached a consensus with each other.

Immediately stopping the exchange, they looked at the Order Clock suspended in the sky above the duel stage, "May I ask the Heavenly Dao, after gathering the keys, can others enter the secret realm that is opened, besides the key holder?"

"Of course, once this secret realm is opened, it will be open to everyone present.

Anyone who wants to enter the secret realm can try.

However, the secret realm is dangerous, I hope you will think twice before acting."

"Thank you, Heavenly Dao!"

The faces of the two team powerhouses from a certain True Universe showed unconcealable smiles, their eyes became particularly fiery, and their hearts were already blooming with joy.

At the same time, everyone present was full of excitement, their hearts were beating faster, and they were extremely expectant.

That unknown secret realm is actually open to everyone.

This means that, at that time, even those of us who came to watch the excitement can enter the secret realm to seek opportunities and good fortune!
