Chapter 21 Peak of the Holy Realm
Although Karl was full of doubts, cultivation was essentially about raising one's level of life.
Even if a level six warrior reaches the peak of level six, their lifespan is not much different from that of an ordinary person. At most, they can live for a hundred years. But once they break through to level seven, they can easily live for two or three hundred years. As for level nine warriors, they can live to the limit of human life.
Five hundred years is the limit of a mortal body. According to Karl's understanding, without breaking through to the Saint Realm, the maximum lifespan of human cells, from regeneration to destruction, is only five hundred years.
In Karl's view, how long one can live below the Saintly Realm depends on the vitality of one's own cells. A Level 7 warrior has very strong cell vitality, but it is not enough to use his own cells to their limit, so his lifespan is two to three hundred years.
Level 9 warriors possess extremely strong vitality and rarely die from exhaustion. Under such circumstances, a level 9 warrior's lifespan of 500 years is largely due to the repeated regeneration and death of cells. They can only endure for 500 years. After 500 years, even if their vitality remains strong, their cell vitality will be insufficient, and they will inevitably face death.
Once you step into the Saint Realm, the change in your life level is something Karl has experienced most profoundly over the years. That vitality grows constantly, and the cellular vitality never wanes. This is perhaps the reason why Saint Realm level powerhouses are eternal.
As for the idea that the soul can't keep up with the body, Karl just smiled slightly. After all, when a person feels that they are aging, it is more of a signal from the body.
The saying that one's energy is not what it used to be when one was young is simply a matter of the body aging, and in order to maintain normal bodily functions, it has to reduce its energy expenditure.
If a person's physical body is immortal, then the strength of their soul is eternally indestructible.
The Saintly Realm level represents a tremendous improvement in the essence of life, a feeling of being at one's peak almost constantly, like an eternal furnace, a source of power that almost never runs dry.
The experience of cultivation is always one of hardship in the early stages and enjoyment in the later stages. This enjoyment is not about power, money, or beauty, but about feeling young at that moment.
Carl has a lot to say about this. The feeling of being old and dying at almost every moment when he was a hundred years old has transformed into the youthful feeling he brings every day as if he were a twenty-year-old.
The reason why ancient emperors ultimately chose to pursue immortality is precisely because they had experienced the vitality of youth, and they would do everything they could to regain it after losing it.
"The more you practice, the more comfortable your body feels."
Karl closed his eyes to feel the changes brought about by this breakthrough, and finally summarized it in one sentence.
Cultivation is awesome!
After a long while, Karl began to carefully consider the changes that this had brought about.
In the end, it was discovered that the peak of the Holy Realm truly lived up to its name.
In the early stages of cultivation in the Saint Realm, besides accumulating one's own battle qi, one must comprehend the power of heaven and earth. When one's battle qi is fully accumulated and one's comprehension of the power of heaven and earth is perfected, one has reached the mid-stage of the Saint Realm. Cultivation beyond the mid-stage of the Saint Realm is about trying one's best to comprehend the profound mysteries. If one comprehends them, one reaches the peak of the Saint Realm; if one does not comprehend them, one remains in the mid-stage of the Saint Realm.
The mid-stage of the Saint Realm is like a bowl of water; you either need to get a bigger bowl or the water in that bowl will stop accumulating. The only way to improve one's strength in the mid-stage of the Saint Realm is through mastering the ultimate techniques of the Saint Realm. The deeper one's mastery of these techniques, the greater one's strength will be, and the easier it will be to approach the peak of the Saint Realm. However, the essence remains unchanged. Whether it is battle qi or the power of heaven and earth, one reaches the limit the moment one reaches the mid-stage of the Saint Realm.
Reaching the peak of the Saint Realm seems to be an innate instinct, something Karl has experienced firsthand. In the early stages of the Saint Realm, he could rely on his level nine talent, along with the support of his territory and family, to possess talent that was extremely close to that of the Saint Realm. With this talent, Karl could accumulate battle qi in the early stages, but once this accumulation reached a certain level, Karl's talent was no longer sufficient.
Unable to cultivate his own fighting spirit, Karl focused his energy on developing ultimate techniques.
As warriors of the Holy Realm, their mental strength may only be comparable to those of eighth-level archmages, but their souls are fundamentally much stronger than those below the Holy Realm. It is precisely because of this inherent strength that Holy Realm experts are able to comprehend the mysteries of the world.
As a master in the early stages of the Saint Realm, Karl, even with only a superficial understanding of the forces of heaven and earth, was still able to create the prototype of his own ultimate technique. It was a unique skill that brought the technique to its extreme. Compared to some of the techniques he used during his level nine warrior days, with the same strength, the prototype of the Saint Realm ultimate technique was more than enough to support Karl in fighting two opponents at the level nine warrior stage.
But when he truly reached the peak of the Saint Realm, the Saint Realm techniques that he used to have to find ways to make progress now seemed to be his instinct.
Looking at the attribute panel, sure enough, there were some changes after fusing with [Wind Element].
[Automatic AFK Training System]
[Host: Karl]
Age: 300
[Level: Peak Saint Realm (1/1000000)]
[Family: Talos (Level 2)] (Upgradeable)
[Territory: Starfire Town (Level 2)] (Upgradeable)
[Shop: Tier 3 items have been updated]
[Faith: None]
[Cultivation: Peak Saint Realm (1/1000000) Wind Element (1/1000000) Third option unlocked]
After glancing at his family and territory, Karl decided to hold off for now. The benefits of advancing to level three were numerous. The cultivation speed alone would increase by 100%, and as the family patriarch and territory lord, Karl would enjoy double the benefits, with a maximum of 200%.
However, the conditions are not easy to meet. Upgrading to level three requires a large number of level nine warriors, and the clan and territory are not interconnected. This means that if Karl wants to upgrade in the future, the territory will probably have a higher priority than the clan.
Besides the changes in the family and territory, Karl also saw changes in the mall and cultivation system.
After inquiring about the "beginner's guide," Karl learned that once his strength reached the peak of the Saint Realm, he would have more options.
Firstly, if one only cultivates battle qi and elemental laws, then the third option allows one to purchase an additional elemental mystery. This elemental mystery is not limited to the same element; one can cultivate wind element while simultaneously cultivating other elemental laws. The requirements for purchasing elemental laws are the same: Karl needs to purchase an elemental seed first, and only after activating the elemental seed can Karl purchase a new elemental mystery.
As an automatic AFK cultivation system, there are some limitations when the system is AFK. For example, when automatically cultivating profound mysteries, it must be based on elemental power. This also means that the first profound mystery must be based on a basic elemental power. Only after the elemental power is fully mastered can other profound mysteries be purchased.
This choice is probably hard for geniuses to accept, because comprehending the profound mysteries of elemental power is only the lowest level among those of the same level. For advanced mysteries, the difference is nearly ten or a hundred times after becoming a god, and at the Saint Realm level, this difference can be more than ten million times.
However, it didn't matter much to Karl, since he wouldn't even be qualified to cultivate if he didn't buy it.
