How Supreme Powerhouses Cultivated

Seeing Xingtian's grim expression, Feng Jiu lost all interest in joking.

He asked directly:

"You should know what a bottleneck is!"

In Xingtian's view, this question sounded more like a joke than what he had said before.

Let alone against a Supreme Powerhouse master like Xingtian.

Even a random Qi Refining Realm could clearly explain the bottleneck.

Even so, Xingtian still managed to respond, because he didn't believe Feng Jiu would be so bored.

"A bottleneck, to put it simply, is that state where we can no longer improve after reaching a certain level in our cultivation!"

Feng Jiu nodded and continued to ask:

"That's right! Do you know why this bottleneck occurs?"

This question was child's play for Xingtian; he didn't even need to think before answering:

There are many reasons, but they all boil down to these few!

Firstly, his cultivation level increased too quickly, and his physical strength couldn't keep up!

Secondly, his cultivation level increased too quickly, and his Divine Sense couldn't keep up!

Thirdly, his cultivation level increased too quickly, and his comprehension of the Principle couldn't keep up!

After a brief pause, Xingtian continued:

In short, it boils down to this: cultivation levels are increasing too rapidly, and a certain aspect of the cultivator's abilities cannot keep pace with this growth!

These are principles that even anyone from the Demon Race army could answer directly, let alone Xingtian.

The answer given was even more accurate than that of Xingtian.

After hearing Xingtian's answer, Feng Jiu smiled and said, "According to you, as long as the body is adjusted to its optimal state and the comprehension of the Principle keeps up, then there shouldn't be any bottlenecks!"

Xingtian subconsciously wanted to nod, but after a moment's thought, he froze.

For no other reason than that Feng Jiu had fulfilled all his requirements, yet he still reached a bottleneck.

Why is this happening? Did I misunderstand? Or is there some crucial point I haven't considered?

Seeing Xingtian's conflicted expression, Feng Jiu burst out laughing, "Hahaha, alright! Stop overthinking! It's not just you! Almost all the Supreme Powerhouse feel just as confused as you do now when they first advance!"

Upon hearing this, Xingtian felt a glimmer of hope and quickly looked at Feng Jiu.

Feng Jiu then patiently began to instruct Xingtian.

The cultivation systems in the universe today have been around for an unknown period of time.

According to Feng Jiu, this cultivation system was discovered step by step by all living beings in the universe.

This applies from Qi Refining to Supreme Powerhouse.

Although there may be slight variations between different races, the overall direction remains very firm.

Whether it's the Demon Race, the Human Clan, or any other race, the ultimate goal of cultivation is to Supreme Powerhouse.

And as the number of Supreme Powerhouse increased, they began a new round of exploration into new realms.

But this time it wasn't as easy as before.

The beings in the universe tried all sorts of methods, but ultimately remained at the Supreme Powerhouse level of power.

It wasn't until the appearance of the ten Great Sages of the Human Clan that hope was given to many of the Supreme Powerhouse.

Unfortunately, the ten Great Sages of the Human Clan did not say a word about this matter.

Even the Supreme Powerhouse individuals are still developing their technologies behind closed doors.

Even so, they remained hopeful.

Because compared to before, at least there are real-world examples to look at now.

No matter how difficult things are, having a goal and being aimless are two completely different states.

Thus began this protracted journey to the next round.

Countless Supreme Powerhouse warriors joined in one after another.

This enthusiasm lasted for hundreds of millions of years, until the Great Sage of the Human Clan stepped forward.

At first, the many Supreme Powerhouse still fantasized that the Great Sage was going to spread his teachings, but the moment the Great Sage's words entered their ears, all the Supreme Powerhouse beings felt a chill run through their bodies.

"The road ahead is blocked, there's no point in struggling!"

Millions of years of exploration had already foreseen Supreme Powerhouse.

But when these words came from the mouth of the Great Sage, it was what truly instilled despair.

Sometimes that's how it is; even if you know it's doomed, as long as you don't do it, you can still leave a glimmer of hope.

Once you do it, hope instantly turns into despair.

Even the Supreme Powerhouse can become addicted to this kind of self-deception.

As for the Great Sage's statement that the road ahead had come to an end, he was actually referring to Xingtian's current situation.

It's not a physical problem, but an environmental one.

To put it bluntly, this universe's tolerance for powerful individuals is limited to the Supreme Powerhouse.

Unless you transcend the universe, you can forget about going any further.

"Wrong!"

As soon as Feng Jiu finished speaking, Xingtian immediately shook his head in denial.

"How is that possible! If they can't improve, then what's the deal with the Golden Crow Clan Chief? And what about the Human Clan Jian Nu? Not to mention the two Great Sage above them!"

Faced with Xingtian's questioning, Feng Jiu calmly replied:

"I don't know anything about the Great Sage. In the entire universe, only the Great Sage truly understands the mysteries of the Great Sage! As for the Golden Crow Clan Chief and the Jian Nu, in terms of pure strength, they are no different from you and me!"

"Impossible!"

"Nothing is impossible! Just like I said before, the Supreme Powerhouse we can't go any further is not because we lack strength."

Rather, it is this universe that limits us!

So whether it's you or me, the Golden Crow Clan Chief, the Jian Nu, or any of the Supreme Powerhouse from the human and demon races.

In essence, our strengths are exactly the same.

"Then why...?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Xingtian seemed to realize something and suddenly froze.

Seeing this, Feng Jiu smiled and asked, "Have you figured it out?"

"Um!"

Xingtian nodded and said, "Is it Principle?"

"That's right! Judging the strength of the Supreme Powerhouse is very simple; it just depends on who can master more of the Power of Principle!"

The more Power of Principle one masters, the greater the power one can generate when using the same amount of Demon Power or Divine Sense!

The Golden Crow Clan Chief and the Jian Nu are undoubtedly the Supreme Powerhouse beings who have mastered the most Power of Principle!

This is why they can gain an overwhelming advantage over other Supreme Powerhouse beings!

Xingtian and Feng Jiu consulted him extensively.

Because Xingtian is already a member of the Phoenix Clan.

As for his own people, Feng Jiu would definitely be completely open and honest, sharing everything he knew without reservation.

It was from that time that Xingtian began to understand how to proceed after advancing to the Supreme Powerhouse.

To put it simply, it means trying to understand as many Principle as possible.

The advancement to the Supreme Powerhouse is based on the understanding of the Principle, so apart from the Great Sage, no one in the entire universe is stronger than the Supreme Powerhouse in the understanding of the Principle.

Xingtian was one of the best among them.

Before advancing to the Supreme Powerhouse, his fire affinity had been maximized with the help of the Gene Furnace.

It can be said that even before he reached the Supreme Powerhouse, Xingtian's understanding of the Principle of Fire was already comparable to that of Supreme Powerhouse.

In addition, there was the help I received from Original Self in terms of technology.

Compared to other Supreme Powerhouse, comprehending the Principle was undoubtedly much simpler for Xingtian.

From that day on, Xingtian's cultivation consisted of only one thing—to comprehend the Principle of Fire as much as possible!
