Kneel!
On the Dou Qi Continent, after experts who had reached the Nine-Star Dou Zun Peak stabilized their cultivation, they would all discover one thing:
The Dou Qi within their bodies was full to the brim, and could not increase by even the slightest amount.
This was what was known as the "Nine-Star Dou Zun Peak."
At that point, if they wished to advance further, they had to refine and compress the abundant Dou Qi within their bodies. As their bodies grew stronger, they could continue to hold more Dou Qi—or rather, energy!
Once the refinement process had been completed nine times, one would possess the core requirement for stepping into the Half-Saint realm! Thus, there was a saying on the Dou Qi Continent: Nine Revolutions to Sainthood!
Each refinement and compression was called a "revolution."

If one considered only Dou Qi, the gap was not simply ninefold.
That was because the refined Dou Qi after each revolution would still occupy a considerable amount of space within the body.
Yang Shan had no idea how great the exact difference was. Before Tian Yao Company provided specific figures and formulas, no one could calculate it.
