As the words fell, it was as if some omen had appeared in the void, yet it was blocked from manifesting by some unseen force.
After taking a deep breath, Nurse Wang revealed more: "Beyond the Immortal King lies the Quasi-Immortal Emperor!"
When she mentioned the Quasi-Immortal Emperor, she paused, and seeing that no ill omens followed, she continued with a look of fanaticism and reverence:
"And only after that Quasi-Immortal Emperor does one reach the final pinnacle of this realm: the Immortal Emperor!"
!!!
Although it was a simple introduction of cultivation levels, for some reason, hearing it from Nurse Wang's lips made one feel an instinctive sense of awe.
Whether it was Zhu Zhuqing in the Spirit Beast Garden or all the spectators before the Sky Screen, they felt their scalps tingle the moment those words were spoken!
"Quasi-Immortal Emperor, Immortal Emperor..." Zhu Zhuqing was completely stunned. She had originally thought the Immortal King was the apex of this world, but who would have thought there were two even more terrifying realms beyond it?
"Once one reaches that level," Nurse Wang shivered, her eyes filled with terror, "it cannot be spoken of, nor even thought of."
"You only need to know that for such existences, the so-called rules, order, and even the birth and death of the Great Wilderness are but a flick of a thought."
"Even the souls of the dead can be resurrected by them, reflected across the heavens."
"They are the true supreme existences!"
Hearing this, the people of the Douluo Continent, already shocked, were even more overwhelmed.
Treating rules and order as nothing, creating or destroying worlds with a single thought, resurrecting the dead and reflecting them across the heavens?
Was that really a realm that cultivation could reach?
However, Nurse Wang seemed unwilling to say more on this heavy topic.
On one hand, she did not know; on the other, she dared not speak of it.
Even what she had just said were merely fragments she had glimpsed while flipping through ancient sect records once.
With that, she waved her hand and casually pulled a slightly yellowed booklet from her bosom, handing it over.
"Enough, those things are too far removed from you."
"Take this and cultivate diligently."
Zhu Zhuqing took the booklet with both hands. Looking at the bold, sweeping calligraphy on the cover that read Primordial Body Tempering Technique, she pressed it tightly against her heaving chest as if it were a priceless treasure.
She did not open it immediately, but hesitated, biting her lip as she asked: "By the way, Nurse Wang, there is one more thing Zhuqing does not understand."
"Once this Body Tempering Technique is mastered, will there be specific cultivation levels? And will it conflict with my original cultivation?"
"Also, with my current strength," Zhu Zhuqing paused, finally gathering the courage to ask, "what level would I be considered in this world?"
As soon as Zhu Zhuqing's question left her lips, the entire Douluo Continent fell into an instant silence.
At Shrek Academy, Tang San, Zhao Wuji, and the others stared fixedly at the image on the Sky Screen, their ears pricked like antennas.
In Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong gripped her scepter tightly, her teeth clenched, wishing she could know the answer immediately!
Even the God of Destruction in the God Realm stopped his clamoring, his eyes fixed coldly on the screen.
If everything before had been speculation, then with this question from Zhu Zhuqing, they would likely learn the most brutal truth.
At this moment, everyone was pondering this question.
What level was the combat power of the Douluo Continent in this world?
Even if they were at the bottom, there had to be a baseline, right?
In the Perfect World, within the Primordial Immortal Court.
Hearing Zhu Zhuqing's question, Nurse Wang looked her up and down with a hint of amusement.
"You?"
"Girl, although you ate a Blood-Qi Fruit and had a mouthful of Spirit Crystal Rice, making your physical constitution much stronger than that of an ordinary mortal, according to the standards of this world, you are still far from even the threshold of the early Blood Moving Realm."
In an instant, Nurse Wang's words hit the people of the Douluo Continent like a basin of ice water.
Not even touching the threshold of the early Blood Moving Realm was one thing, but to be far from it???
"No, impossible, this is impossible!"
At Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai, the prince of the Star Luo Empire and Zhu Zhuqing's fiancé, was the first to cry out:
"Zhu Zhuqing is a Soul Sect of over level 40! And she ate so many immortal fruits and received so many enhancements—how can she not even be at the entry level?!"
"This old woman must be mistaken, she must be!"
However, Nurse Wang's next words were even more heart-wrenching:
"Hmm... let me think how to describe it."
She rubbed her chin, pondering slightly:
"In the villages of the Great Wilderness, some three-year-old children who have just been weaned, after undergoing the baptism of beast blood, can already exert a thousand jin of force with a single swing of their arms."
"Those with outstanding talent who cultivate for just a few more days should be able to reach the early Blood Moving Realm."
"As for your current strength..."
"It's probably equivalent to a newborn infant? Perhaps not entirely accurate, but in this old one's eyes, it's the most reasonable explanation."
Pfft!!!
Hearing this, countless Soul Masters spurted blood on the spot.
A talented Soul Sect of over level 40 was actually as weak and powerless as a newborn infant in this world?
What the hell was the point of cultivating anymore!
"A... newborn infant?" Hearing the "most reasonable explanation" from Nurse Wang's mouth, Zhu Zhuqing, who had held a sliver of hope earlier, was also severely disheartened, her pretty face turning deathly pale.
Her body, unable to stand steady, swayed precariously, and the two massive peaks on her chest jiggled a few times along with her.
Was her pride-worthy talent so utterly worthless here?
"Don't be discouraged either."
As if sensing her dejection, the Nurse beside her paused her gaze on the Pegasus Meteor Hammers on her chest before looking away and offering comfort:
"The reason you're so weak isn't because you're incapable, but because of that energy within you..."
"What was it called again, Soul Power?"
"Yes, that Soul Power."
Nurse Wang curled her lips in disdain: "That thing is too low-tier, loose and weak, and full of impurities."
"Using such energy to drive your body is like feeding a True Dragon pig slop; it's no wonder it can't become the lord of all beasts."
Speaking of which, Nurse Wang suddenly slapped her forehead, as if remembering something important:
"Ah, I almost forgot, thankfully you reminded me."
"Your body is filled with this trash Soul Power, your meridians are blocked, and you can't cultivate the Primordial Body Tempering Technique at all."
"If this Soul Power isn't abolished or converted, you won't even be able to step through the door of the Blood Moving Realm, no matter how long you practice!"
"So, you'd best think carefully."
