"Unbelievable."
Looking at the Dao Book in his hand, Lu Yang's expression grew increasingly astonished. This so-called Biyang Cultivation World sounded as though it was utterly vulnerable before a Foundation Establishment True Person.
Yet that was merely the surface.
By the simplest logic, how could a faction incapable of resisting Foundation Establishment occupy so many island territories in a lawless place like the Overseas?
So either the Biyang Cultivation World had genuine Foundation Establishment True Persons backing it from behind the scenes, or its theoretical strongest figures, the Great Dao Fusion Cultivators, possessed other means comparable to Foundation Establishment. Otherwise, such a rich and tempting morsel of talent would have long since been devoured clean.
And even that was secondary.
Having experienced the Law Refining Secret Realm, Lu Yang constantly reminded himself never to underestimate anyone, much less a mature system.
Thus, he quickly noticed something more important:
"Azure Thunder Ancestor. A Nascent Coagulation cultivator—this Nascent Soul he condensed can be considered fairly high-quality true qi."
Strictly speaking, it could even rank among the Fifth Grade.
Nascent Coagulation was already like this.
What if the realm was higher? There were still three realms above Nascent Coagulation!
"Continuously purifying true qi—Nascent Coagulation produces Fifth Grade. Could Divine Refining reach Fourth Grade? Return to Void, Third Grade; could Merge with Dao produce Second Grade true qi?"

The grade of one's true qi essentially determined a cultivator's future. Below Seventh Grade, there was no hope of Foundation Establishment; below Third Grade, no hope of Golden Core; without First Grade, forming a Nascent Soul was nearly impossible!
Second Grade true qi was still barely acceptable.
But what if Merge with Dao was not the limit of the Biyang Cultivation World? If there were realms beyond Merge with Dao, could true
