Strongest Soldier

Lee Hongtian turned back and walked onto the altar. He squatted in front of the old man and looked at the slovenly old man with a smile that was not a smile. He said lightly, "Speak."    

    

"Say what?" The old man buzzed.    

    

"Tell me how to get out of here." Lee Hongtian twitched his mouth.    

    

This old man was still keeping people in suspense at this time.    

    

The old man suddenly sighed and said, "With your current cultivation level, you can forget about going out."    

    

"Profound Cave?"    

    

Lee Hongtian had heard the old man say this word for the second time. If he guessed correctly, it should be referring to his current Pax cultivation level. But why did it become a hole in the old man's mouth?    

    

The old man was shocked as well. He then asked, "Wait. Tell me first, what is your division of power like now?"    

    

Lee Hongtian also understood what was going on. It was probably because the two of them had different levels of power, so he said: "Ordinary people can enter the Martial Dao from now on and are divided into Warrior, Martial Disciple, Martial Disciple..."    

    

"Stop." The old man interrupted Lee Hongtian with a look of disdain and said impatiently: "What you are talking about should be the division of strength for ordinary warriors. What I am asking you now is the division of strength for Trainer."    

    

"What's the difference?" Lee Hongtian was a bit confused.    

    

The elder said, "Of course there's a difference. Could it be that from the moment you started practicing martial arts, you have already come into contact with a mysterious method like zhenqi?"    

    

"That's not it..." Lee Hongtian hesitated.    

    

"That's right. Whatever, I don't want to waste my breath on you anymore. Let me tell you directly. Right now, throw away everything you know. You only need to remember what I'm going to say."    

    

The old man reached out to pick up the hair covering his face, then suddenly said to Lee Hongtian with a serious face, "Regardless of what martial arts you are talking about or what Heavenly Dao I know, in the end, it is all cultivation. If you want to achieve mastery of the Tao, you first need to understand what cultivation is."    

    

To put it simply, the so-called cultivation method is to borrow the power of the world to strengthen one's own body. Although there is currently Qi in your body, it cannot be considered true qi because the Qi in your body is only the nature's spirit energy that your body absorbs spontaneously as your realm increases, and it has not been tempered. If true qi is compared to a sharp sword, then right now, the Qi in your body is only a piece of pig iron, not even a sword embryo.    

    

It was Lee Hongtian's first time hearing this, so he couldn't help but interject: "Then how do we refine the qi in our bodies?"    

    

"Don't worry, I'll tell you soon."    

    

The old man rolled his eyes at Lee Hongtian, then continued, "For example, the Martial Disciple you mentioned earlier, from this road of cultivation, you can only become a Body Tempering Cultivator, because at this stage, even if your strength increases gradually, you are unable to condense true qi. When a Trainer can condense true qi, it is called the initial stage, which means that the person has stepped into the first step of cultivation.    

    

"After the Profound Wonderland is the Spirit Integration, then the Great Void, and finally the Soul Formation."    

    

"It's just that your current realm is only at the initial stage in terms of your understanding of cultivation and the strength of your inner qi. So, in order to go further, you must learn how to direct the flow of the world's spiritual energy in your body and finally condense it into true true true qi."    

    

"Wait, according to what you said, then doesn't that mean Body Tempering realm martial artists don't have true qi?" Lee Hongtian asked again.    

    

According to the old man, the distance between martial artists and Martial Emperors was called Body Tempering, from the Human Saint Realm it could be considered the initial stage, from the Saint God Realm it could be considered the first stage, from the Saint God Realm it corresponded to the Profound Opening Realm, from the Spirit Realm to the Spirit Realm, from the Void to the Great Void, and finally from the Primordial Era to the Soul Formation Stage.    

    

However, whether it was Lee Hongtian or the enemies that he met along the way, neither of them lacked zhenqi that they had before Martial Emperor. Didn't this mean that this old man was just spouting nonsense?    

    

"Not really."    

    

The old man shook his head and said, "The reason why cultivators before the initial stage of cultivation became Body Tempering Realm is because at this stage, the cultivator's main task is to temper his body well in order to serve a higher realm in the future. However, it does not mean that in this stage, the cultivator's body no longer exists, but rather at this stage, even if the body truly possesses true energy, it will not be able to display the strength it should have."    

    

Let me give you a simple example, the nature's spirit energy is like a sea, every cultivator's body is immersed in the sea, the higher the cultivation level, the tighter and tighter the vessel is, and once fished out, the seawater stored inside would be harder to leak out, and Body Tempering stage cultivators' bodies are like a sieve, although it is unable to hold the sea water, but can you say that after being fished out of the sea water, they would not be touched by the sea water?    

    

"Okay, I see, but what does that have to do with us getting out of here?" Lee Hongtian shook his head, getting rid of the irrelevant thoughts in his head and got down to business.    

    

"Of course it is. What's the rush?"    

    

The old man unhappily glared at Lee Hongtian, then continued: "I believe that when you all first entered, that bastard, Wu'en Sect, had already said that the trial had a time limit, if you do not reach the main hall of the Wu'en Sect by the set time limit, you will be killed by the killing array on the island."    

    

"That's true, but it's been a few days since I've been here. The trial period has already passed, could it be that this place isn't affected by the outside world?"    

    

"Of course, otherwise I would have already died here."    

    

The old man said slowly, "However, if you've only been here for a few days, you don't have to worry about that. The time here is different from the time outside."    

    

"How is it different?" Lee Hongtian's eyes lit up and he felt that there was hope again.    

    

The elder did not try to keep them in suspense and directly said, "A sixty-year-old went by here, and only a year went by outside."    

    

"One of the sixty-year-olds out there?" Lee Hongtian was surprised and mumbled, "That's impossible, right?"    

    

Although Wang Yue had been in the environment for only a day but had already been inside for a long time, but what did it mean to be sixty-one?    

    

That was sixty years!    

    

One year outside, 60 years inside?    

    

If the old man hadn't lied to him, then he would have at least half a day before the end of the exam. In other words, it would have been nearly a month. It had only been three days.    

    

But at the same time, Lee Hongtian thought of another problem. He couldn't help but stare at the old man and asked, "Old man, when did you come in?"    

    

"It's been too long, I can't remember the exact year. I only remember that it was the year of the Emperor."    

    

"Tianxiong …"    

    

Lee Hongtian was completely shocked. Even in the outside world, a thousand years had already passed.
