Chapter 236: The Ninth Barrier – The Crowned Woman
In terms of boundary division, the Mortal Realm begins with awakening Spiritual Roots, Spirit Sense, and life force, continuing until the Three Great Methods reach perfection.
Above that lies the practice of Origin Law or ascending the Heavenly Path to obtain a spiritual body.
Once someone acquires a spiritual body or starts cultivating Origin Law, they are considered to be in the spiritual realm.
However, this perspective focuses on energy.
Cultivators distinguish the spiritual realm by directly sensing the Heavenly Path; those who have ascended the Heavenly Path are basically in the spiritual realm.
If someone has not ascended, even if they possess a spiritual body, they are merely a naturally occurring spiritual body or have consumed Top-tier Spiritual Herbs.
This cannot be counted as a complete spiritual realm.
The specific division of the spiritual realm is based on the progress of spiritual transformation.
This progress optimizes the energy meridians, allowing for a more pure spirituality to solidify the foundation.
The power that the fifth figure suppressed was this portion; the spiritual body or bloodline were not suppressed.
Starting from the fifth figure, power levels began to skyrocket.
For example, when the sixth figure appeared, they utilized an even deeper Physical Law. After being defeated by Yun Ye, the displayed information indicated the first practitioner with bloodline ranks.
Their ascending bloodline could obtain a spiritual body that already tripled the essence of life, transforming from an ordinary genius into a super genius.
In their era, the Physical Law they practiced was even referred to as Dao Classics, forming the foundation for their family’s domination over the people.
According to the many fleeting images, the sixth figure’s background was already a nation, with millions of citizens, calling themselves the ‘Ancient Wilderness Nation,’ carving out a pure land in a world plagued by monsters.
Yun Ye continued without pause, facing the seventh figure. The Spirit Sense Law used by the seventh figure was also not recorded in history, yet it proved the development of the Spirit Law system.
He was the first practitioner with a high-grade innate Spirit Law, and the talent evaluation progressed from ‘super genius in one area’ to ‘super genius across a region.’
However, to Yun Ye, he was still very weak, easily defeated, leading him to the eighth figure.
The eighth barrier reached the height of regional talents, nearly matching Nangong Xungu.
Perhaps in the current era, there were as many as thirty-six regional talents, with countless candidates waiting for their chance.
But looking back a few million years, to the time when humanity just began to rise, there was no difference between talents and gods.
The early path was too rough, with plenty of room for improvement, allowing talents to extend their paths through sheer force.
In contrast, the present has accumulated countless experiences of talents; the road has been completely forged, and even running down this path is difficult enough, let alone pioneering new methods.
“Three Mystical True Fire mode!”
“Spiritual Roots revival!”
Yun Ye awakened his Spiritual Roots and pierced the heart of the eighth figure. As the figure transformed into white smoke and vanished, Yun Ye moved towards the ninth barrier.
Although the eighth barrier was much stronger than the seventh, possessing Spiritual Roots, life force, and Spirit Sense, it could not be compared to the ninth barrier he faced in his previous life.
While on this Heavenly Path, Yun Ye did not have any external aids such as formation plates or magical tools, but All Things Silent was still a force far exceeding double attributes. Surprisingly, it couldn’t even breach the defense of the ninth figure, resulting in a direct defeat.
Just as he stepped into the ninth barrier, the figure moved, and the familiar sound of footsteps made Yun Ye’s expression change — could it be that same woman from his last life?
In the distance, a woman in crimson armor, wearing a crown, stepped forward with long hair flowing behind her.
Her gaze was hollow as she walked towards Yun Ye, the heavy sound of her footsteps echoing through the heavens and earth, shaking everything around her.
The ground ripped apart, the sky darkened, and various strange phenomena appeared.
"A Mortal Realm Physical Law practitioner causing disturbances."
Yun Ye felt a deep seriousness.
The most powerful talent he had ever seen was, of course, Thunder True Feather, who possessed unmatched and undefeated talent and stood at the pinnacle of an era. However, unfortunately, he had never fought against Thunder True Feather in their strongest state; he had only faced a weakened version. Although he knew how terrifying the complete form was, he still lacked a clear understanding.
The woman before him was indeed far superior to Nangong Xungu and the other geniuses, reaching an entirely different level of existence.
In his previous life, even with All Things Silent, he couldn’t break her defense; he wondered what the outcome would be this time.
"To oppose me is to regret for all eternity."
The woman in crimson armor repeated a phrase from years ago. With a single punch, clouds cascaded from the sky, her aura unmatched, her power invincible.
She had once held a high position and was likely the ruler of an ancient dynasty. By the standards of this world, where strength reigned supreme, she was very likely the strongest human of her time.
"Who could this person be?"
Yun Ye felt that by challenging the Heavenly Path, a witness to history, he could encounter legends and glimpse the secrets of the past.
He focused his spirit and counterattacked, the fusion of water and fire bursting forth with extreme power, piercing through the white rainbow.
But this could not sway the crowned woman. With another step forward, Yun Ye felt his bloodline resonate and boil as it stirred the power deep within his bloodline genes, almost causing him to burn himself to death.
"All Things Silent!"
Yun Ye activated his Silent Spiritual Body, suppressing interference. In that moment, his eyes transformed from icy blue to grey.
The silent grey spread directly from where he focused his gaze!
Boom!
The woman’s punch struck the grey form that appeared before her, and in the fierce confrontation, she was partially eroded.
Immediately, she chose not to fight directly instead disappearing, evading the annihilation from the Silent Spiritual Eye.
As a Physical Law practitioner, the crowned woman’s speed and power reached unimaginable heights.
In an instant, she appeared before Yun Ye and exchanged a punch.
The result was surprising; despite Yun Ye having absolute advantage in power, his bones shattered one after another as he succumbed in the clash.
"Vital Essence entering the minute!"
Yun Ye felt indignant.
Divinity, Vital Essence, and Spirit Energy — these three things all represented the training of control.
By the time Spirit Energy was nurtured to the third stage, it could be trained to control power at the level of dividing one strength into thousands.
At his current late third stage, his control had advanced further. If represented by an accurate number, he could now divide one strength into seven thousand, seven times the level of a practitioner in the early third stage.
Of course, with a sevenfold increase in control, the power had also grown at least fifty times or more.
Yun Ye’s ability to dominate many geniuses without using All Things Silent was not without reason.
However, this was still only the third stage. From early to late, the increase was only fifty times; this magnitude could only be considered half a qualitative change.
But the leap from the third stage to the fourth stage would bring a world-shaking change. This realm had a specific name.
Entering the minute.
This concept appeared in many stories; simply put, it meant reaching the pinnacle of control, making all power converge at one point without wasting a fraction.
The notion of dividing one power into a thousand was just an easily understandable explanation.
The transition from the first to the third stage was a process of restructuring the internal structure of spirit energy, becoming increasingly complex, thus requiring ever greater control. In practice, it still poured out all at once.
The entry into the fourth stage was not about increasing control but about enhancing how to use spirit energy.
While it was also related to control, it could not simply be summarized as dividing one into ten thousand; it was not something that could be learned progressively.
To have entered the minute meant either you could or you couldn’t; there was no gradual learning process.
Yun Ye had remained in the late third stage because he had no path forward; he truly didn’t know how to proceed.
Until this moment, he truly experienced an entry into the minute technique and suddenly understood what it truly meant.
"All Things Silent!"
Yun Ye dared not continue trading punches with the crowned woman, instead unleashing the energy within him, forming a large-scale All Things Silent to force her into a battle of attrition.
In a contest of exhaustion between a Physical Law practitioner and a Spiritual Law practitioner, the victor would surely be the Spiritual Law practitioner!
