Normally, a single Immortal-Demon Fruit was enough for a true martial warrior to leap through three minor cultivation realms.
For instance, someone at the true martial realm sixth layer could break straight through to the true martial realm ninth layer!
In practice, however, things were different. Having to divide one's attention three ways meant the spiritual qi might not be perfectly absorbed and refined.
Furthermore, someone at the true martial realm eighth or ninth layer could not leap through three minor cultivation realms either.
Breaking through from the true martial realm ninth layer peak to the saint martial realm first layer was an enormous hurdle!
It required a tremendous amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy to have any chance of breaking through.
And before that, one had to master at least a first-order domain.
That was precisely why Mu Mingxuan had advanced only a single realm, leaping from the true martial realm ninth layer peak to the early stage of the saint martial realm first layer.
The same was true of Xu Zhongjie. Once his cultivation reached the true martial realm ninth layer peak, the insufficient spiritual qi prevented him from advancing any further!
Even so, this was an enormous gain for Xu Zhongjie.
After all, under normal circumstances, even absorbing heaven and earth spiritual energy with all his might, he might not reach the true martial realm ninth layer peak in three months.
