Chapter 486 Nine Divine Dwelling (2/2)
“To have reached such a number at the fifth layer, your Genesis Qi foundations are indeed extraordinary.”
“But do you know how many stars ordinary ninth layer disciples have?”
She looked towards Zhou Yuan as she extended a single slender finger.
“Ten thousand.”
Zhou Yuan’s heart shook a little, somewhat shocked. Ordinary eighth layer disciples should only have about four thousand Genesis Qi stars, but a ninth layer actually reached the realm of ten thousand?
This did seem to be a rather large gap.
“Although Zhao Zhu is ranked last among the Chosens, the fact that he was able to become one is more than evidence of his outstanding talent. As such, his foundations will be stronger than ordinary disciples, which means that he will also have more Genesis Qi stars.” Yaoyao’s clear eyes looked towards Zhou Yuan. “That’s why your current chances against him are very slim.”
Zhou Yuan let out an awkward laugh. Only now did he truly understand why Yaoyao had stopped him from fighting Zhao Zhu the day before. It turned out to be because of the gap between them.
Yaoyao unhurriedly said, “Do not underestimate the Chosens of the Cangxuan Sect… the higher ranking few are much more powerful than you imagine. Do you really believe that they’re unable to step in to the Divine Dwelling stage after so many years of training?”
“What do you mean?” Zhou Yuan was a little taken aback.
“From what I can see, Chu Qing and the rest can choose to enter secluded cultivation and advance to the Divine Dwelling stage any time they wish to. They are merely unwilling.”
“But why?” Zhou Yuan was quite confused.
“Because they are proud individuals that refuse to have an ordinary breakthrough.” Yaoyao laughed softly, before she continued, “Elder Shen Taiyuan should be the one telling you this after you reach the ninth layer, but I can inform you about it in advance.”
“The Divine Dwelling stage is the evolution of the Qi Dwelling. The Divine Dwelling can contain more Genesis Qi, for instance, if your current Qi Dwelling is akin to a river, the Divine Dwelling will be the sea…”
“Do you recall the different grades of Qi Dwelling back when you opened yours? The Divine Dwelling is naturally the same…”
“The Divine Dwelling stage is also known as the Nine Heavens Divine Dwelling stage, but is usually simplified to Nine Divine Dwelling… because when the Qi Dwelling evolves, different changes would occur according to one’s Genesis Qi foundations.”
“When an ordinary person experiences a breakthrough, three heavens at most would form in the Divine Dwelling, which is called a Three Divine Dwelling.”
“The stronger one’s foundations, the more heavens would form during a breakthrough, with nine as the maximum!”
“Chu Qing and the rest have refused to advance, because they are continuously strengthening their foundations in hopes of evolving a higher grade Divine Dwelling.”
“Their goal is likely above the Six Divine Dwelling, the high class Divine Dwelling.”
“For this target, they have patiently accumulated Genesis Qi for many years.”
“Hence, the most important thing to do at the ninth layer Alpha-Origin stage is to accumulate more Genesis Qi and strengthen one’s foundations. However, when one reaches that level, one’s foundations would already be extremely sturdy and compact, making further strengthening it as difficult as ascending the heavens. Thus, one would also require a substantial amount of luck.”
Zhou Yuan’s expression slowly turned solemn. It seemed that he had severely underestimated the Chosens. It turns out that the reason why they had been unable to advance for many years, was not because they lacked the ability, but because they were purposely suppressing a breakthrough...
After so many years of accumulation, how solid would their foundations be now?
“Is a Nine Divine Dwelling very difficult to achieve?” Asked Zhou Yuan in a hesitant manner.
Yaoyao took a small sip of her tea, before she unhurriedly said, “In the history of the Cangxuan Sect, no more than three individuals have succeeded in attaining the Nine Divine Dwelling, while patriarch Cang Xuan was the first amongst them. So what do you think? Is it difficult?”
Zhou Yuan gasped a little. Only now did he truly feel the difficulty of the Nine Divine Dwelling. Even in such an old sect, only three out of the innumerable geniuses had been able to attain a Nine Divine Dwelling?
Exactly how crazy of a foundation did one require at the Alpha-Origin stage to achieve a Nine Divine Dwelling?
Looks like he still had a ways to go in the Alpha-Origin stage!
However, what he needed to do now was to first calm his heart, and prepare to unseal the main peak.
As Yaoyao gazed upon the now silently thinking Zhou Yuan, the corners of her mouth raised slightly. How could she not tell that he had become a little relaxed after winning the chief disciple seat.
Hence, it was time to give him a knock on the head to make him understand the gap between himself and the Chosens. Only then would he sincerely train with a clear mind.
