Innate (Part 2)

Testing area.

"1550 crystals!" Li Yang smiled slightly as he looked at the test results.

Xiang Yu's voice echoed in Li Yang's mind: "Li Yang, you've just stepped into the Innate Realm and haven't fully consolidated it yet, so your Internal Energy is only at the lowest level of a thousand-plus crystals. In the future, you'll absorb more spiritual energy from heaven and earth. With your absorption speed, others would need seven to eight years to break through, but you'll likely break through the fourth layer in half a year."

Li Yang chuckled upon hearing this, "I know. My speed of absorbing spiritual energy is already nearly ten times that of others. And with your help, Overlord, my absorption speed is tens of times faster than others. But if that's the case, shouldn't I reach the sixth layer very quickly too?"

Xiang Yu immediately scoffed, "You're simply insatiable, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant! That sixth layer represents the Golden Core Realm, the mark of a cultivator. The power within the body will also transform from Innate True Qi to Demonic Sha Power. There's a huge gap between the fifth and sixth layers. The fourth and fifth layers are both Innate True Qi, which is why you can break through so quickly. As for the sixth layer, you won't be able to break through without over ten years."

Li Yang was stunned, "Over ten years?"

Xiang Yu explained, "Forget it, this Overlord will explain it to you carefully. The mortal world is divided into Houtian, Xiantian, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Tribulation Crossing, and Great Accomplishment! From Xiantian to Golden Core is a hurdle, and from Golden Core to Nascent Soul is also a hurdle. The most difficult is from Nascent Soul to Tribulation Crossing. Cultivators spend almost half their time on this layer, typically needing three to four hundred years.

The Tribulation Crossing stage is the shortest. The early stage of Tribulation Crossing is preparation, usually around ten years. The middle stage of Tribulation Crossing is the Heavenly Tribulation. If you pass, you pass; if you fail, you fail! After passing the Heavenly Tribulation, you enter the late stage of Tribulation Crossing, and then the energy within your body begins to transform, with Demonic煞 Power changing into Demonic Yuan Power. When it completely transforms into Demonic Yuan Power, you will achieve Great Accomplishment, and then you will await the summons from the Demon Realm."

After listening, Li Yang finally understood things about the cultivation world. In the end, he, Li Yang, was still just on the outskirts of the cultivation threshold. Even with his continuous efforts, reaching the Golden Core Realm would be very difficult.

Suddenly, Li Yang said indifferently, "Forget it. With your help, Overlord, and my comprehension of the three great realms, my speed of absorbing spiritual energy is unprecedented. I believe reaching the Golden Core Realm will also be very fast. I can't be too greedy."

In reality, Xiang Yu was trying to dampen Li Yang's confidence. He didn't want Li Yang to become too arrogant or impatient. In fact, with Xiang Yu's help, reaching the Golden Core Realm within ten years was still achievable.

Li Yang continued to train. The old man with the white beard hadn't given Li Yang the B1 Gene Potion or come to see him.

Li Yang leaned against the cold metal wall, numbing himself with strong liquor, while his Internal Energy circulated wildly...

"Li Yang, your Innate Realm has been slightly consolidated now. This Overlord has two minor skills to impart to you. Although these techniques are not the Great Dao, they will be very beneficial for your survival," Xiang Yu's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

Li Yang raised an eyebrow and immediately asked, "Minor skills? What are they? But what is this Great Dao you speak of, Overlord?"

Overlord Xiang Yu proudly said, "The Great Dao is naturally body refinement. We cultivators of the demonic path focus on the body. However, the cultivators of the immortal path are the opposite; they rely on spells and restrictions. Hmph, those immortals have such frail bodies. To think that the Great Venerable Chi You of our Demon Realm has achieved an immortal body. Even if the Three Pure Ones, the supreme beings of the immortal realm, attacked together, they couldn't inflict the slightest harm on Great Venerable Chi You of our Demon Realm." Xiang Yu didn't mention that although the Three Pure Ones couldn't harm him, they could use restrictions to trap Chi You if they joined forces.

Li Yang couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this, "Oh, according to you, wouldn't the Demon Realm easily destroy the Immortal Realm?"

Xiang Yu's expression suddenly changed, "This... hehe, you can't say that. Supremes are invincible. The Immortal Realm has the Three Pure Ones, three supreme beings. They can't do anything to my Great Venerable Chi You, and Great Venerable Chi You can't do anything to them either. Their spells and restrictions have reached a terrifying realm where they can change the heavens and earth."

Li Yang was immediately confused, "Oh, is there only one supreme being in the Demon Realm? The Immortal Realm at least has three."

Xiang Yu said proudly, "Of course, our Demon Realm also has three Great Venerables. However, our Demon Realm is different from the Immortal Realm. Our Demon Realm is a survival of the fittest. These three Great Venerables represent three major forces. Li Yang, when you enter the Demon Realm in the future, you will naturally be a part of my supreme Great Venerable Chi You's command. Moreover, although Great Venerable Chi You's cultivation years are not as long as the other two, his influence and strength are not weaker than theirs!"

"Who are the other two Great Venerables?" Li Yang asked curiously.

Xiang Yu impatiently replied, "Don't ask about those two. In the future, we will be enemies with them."

Li Yang suddenly thought of a problem, "Overlord, who is stronger between the Demon Realm and the Immortal Realm?"

Xiang Yu thought for a long while before replying, "In a one-on-one fight, if it's a long-distance attack, with the powerful spells of the immortals, then the immortals are naturally stronger. But if it's a close-quarters combat, with the formidable bodies of our Demon Realm experts, then our Demon Realm experts will be stronger! If it's a truly large-scale battle, then our Demon Realm will be stronger. Our Demon Realm experts grow in battle, and although we are not proficient in restrictions, we know some. It's a pity that our Demon Realm has intense internal strife, so we've been in a state of balance with the Immortal Realm. Otherwise... Hmph, I won't say anymore. Now, this Overlord will teach you two small techniques. Are you going to learn them or not?"

"Learn, of course, I'll learn!" Li Yang immediately said. Could the minor skills that Overlord Xiang Yu spoke of be ordinary techniques?

Xiang Yu seemed very satisfied, "En, since that's the case, this Overlord will impart everything into your mind. You can slowly comprehend it. Although these are just minor skills, they still require your long-term cultivation."

Instantly, Li Yang's mind surged, and a large number of incantations and secret methods appeared in his mind.

After a while, Li Yang felt his mind clearing up considerably, and then he began to sort out the two minor skills that Xiang Yu had mentioned in his mind!

"Breath Concealment Technique, Evasion Technique!" Li Yang's face immediately broke into a smile. The Breath Concealment Technique was about concealing one's aura, making it impossible for others to detect oneself, an ultimate treasure for sneak attacks and assassinations. The shallow level of the Breath Concealment Technique could hide one's cultivation, while the deeper levels could completely conceal one's life force. Of course, it became increasingly difficult to cultivate, and higher levels required extremely high cultivation to assist.

However, the most basic level of hiding cultivation could be practiced by experts at the Innate Realm.

As for the Evasion Technique, there was no need to say more. Seeing the Evasion Technique, Li Yang's heart stirred, and he said to Xiang Yu, "By the way, those Japanese ninjas seem to know Evasion Techniques too. Are these Evasion Techniques the same as ninja Evasion Techniques?"

Xiang Yu disdained, "Kid, I saw clearly how you dealt with a Golden Flower level ninja that day. That ninja's Evasion Technique was the most basic and simplest. In my estimation, the ninja's Evasion Technique is merely the most basic spell from the Five Elements Sect of the Kunlun Immortal Realm. My Evasion Technique was plundered from the Immortal Realm, so it's naturally stronger than the supreme scripture of the Five Elements Sect, a cultivation sect. You dare to compare the Evasion Technique of a mere ninja with the one I taught you? Hmph, don't you even look at my status!" Xiang Yu was naturally annoyed. What was his status? How could the things he produced be inferior?

Li Yang immediately laughed, "Overlord, don't be angry. I was just asking." After speaking, Li Yang stopped paying attention to Xiang Yu and began to diligently cultivate these two minor skills, which were even stronger than the supreme scripture of the Five Elements Sect from the Kunlun Immortal Realm!
