12 Lecture on the realm of cultivation

Like all this commotion caused by people talking in the crowd this time no one comes to talk to Ming Zhandou. What to Ming Zhandou was not a bad thing, he did not like people trying to get close to him out of interest.

Wang Huo and Ming Zhandou wait for some time before someone finally gets on the stage. During the time they were waiting more people began to arrive in the square, among them Hen Wuliao.

The disciples who were arriving after Wang Huo and Ming Zhandou soon discover about the rumors that were circulating. In the end more disciples begin to look at the two with looks of displeasure.

The person on the stage finally starts talking.

"I am Elder Di and I am responsible for delivering today's lecture. Today the talk will have as subjects the cultive realms. After my explanation some of you may ask me questions about it. "

As soon as Elder Di began to speak the crowd was immediately quiet and everyone began to pay attention to his speech. Wang Huo was one of the most attentive to the lecture since his knowledge about things related to cultivation could be considered almost nil.

"As you all know, there are 5 cultive realms, and they are: the realm of the martial foundation, the realm of the martial body, the realm of martial intuition, the realm of the martial master and the realm of martial illumination. All these realms are internally divided from 1 to 9 ".

"Before entering the path of cultivation you must first awaken your dantian by absorbing the energy of the heavens and the earth. As you do this, you automatically entered the first level of the realm of the martial foundation. ".

"As you can accumulate more energy in your dantians you can level up. In the realm of the martial foundation energy serves to increase your physical capabilities. At each level you climb you will feel changes in your physiques and when you are at the ninth level and level up you will enter the realm of the martial body. ".

"An important fact to be mentioned is that for you to successfully enter the realm of the martial body you must go through a divine tribulation. As you successfully pass through the tribulation you will enter the realm of the martial body, but if you fail you will suffer a reaction. "

"The reaction is usually the cultivator losing some levels of their cultivation and the amount of levels lost varies for each cultivation. There are cases of cultivators who die by failing in their tribulation, but they are very rare cases. "

"In the realm of the martial body to increase your levels will not only accumulate energy, you will also have to increase your martial understanding and with each new level there will also be a tribulation."

"In the realm of the martial body you will be able to use elemental martial techniques, as your energy understanding will have reached the desired level. After the realm of the martial body comes the sequel to the realm of martial intuition, the realm of the martial master and the legendary realm of martial illumination. As you enter into each of these great realms and level up within them you will also have to go through tribulations. "

After this explanation of the elder Di, Wang Huo comes to have a better understanding about the way of cultivation.

"Now I'll explain how you do to identify at what level of cultivation someone else is." Elder Di keeps talking.

"The method is very simple and anyone can do it. I think some of you already know how to do it. All cultivators unconsciously release energy fluctuations from their bodies. To know a person's cultivation level you just have to feel these fluctuations. "

"But it's not all cultivators that you can feel these fluctuations. The stronger a cultivator is, the better he controls his own energy, so the energy fluctuation caused by him is lower, being necessary to be at a level of cultivation near the target to be able to feel his level. If the difference is too great you will not be able to know the level. "

"And the further you can identify a person's cultivation depends on their own perception. But overall you will always be able to feel the level of a person who is in the same great realm of cultivation as yourself. "

When Wang Huo and Ming Zhandou finished listening to the explanation the two immediately tried to feel the energy fluctuations of the people around them. Easily they get the hang of it and begin to feel the energy fluctuations of the people around them.

Wang Huo then focuses his attention on a random person in the crowd, in doing so he begins to notice a pattern in the fluctuation of energy. The fluctuation was like a wave, after that there was a pause and again there was a wave.

Wang Huo begins to feel the fluctuations of another person in the crowd and feel the same pattern. After a few more attempts, Wang Huo resolves to feel the energy fluctuations of Ming Zhandou.

When Wang Huo feels the energy fluctuation of Ming Zhandou he realizes something different. The fluttering of Ming Zhandou has two waves and then a pause, after that two waves again.

While he was immersed in his thoughts, the elder Di spoke again.

"To know the level of cultivation of the other person, just notice the amount of waves created. After these waves there will be a pause and again the waves will appear. The amount of waves represents the level of cultivation of that person. "

Wang Huo is surprised to hear this, following this explanation of the elder Di then Ming Zhandou was on the second level of the martial foundation.

Wang Huo goes on to examine the cultivation of each person in the square and realizes that very few are on the second level of the martial foundation. All others are on the first level of the martial foundation.

"So that was why you beat me so easy when we fought, you were already on the second level of the martial foundation." Wang Huo speaks to Ming Zhandou.

"Hahahaha. It's not my fault for being a genius in cultivation. " Ming Zhandou replied smiling.

"Although you are on the first level of the martial foundation, I feel that your energy is denser than that of others." Ming Zhandou comments.

"Yes, I realized that, too. But it probably must be why I should be almost level. " Wang Huo speaks calmly.

Ming Zhandou nods.

Elder Di goes on to explain some more things related to cultivation. The lecture lasts some more time until the Elder Di stops with his explanation and makes room for some questions.

Many disciples raise their hand to ask questions and Elder Di chooses some randomly to ask the questions.

"Why should we go through trials to enter the realm of the martial body? ". One of the disciples asks.

"This is because when we enter the realm of the martial body our life expectancy increases greatly. If a normal person who does not cultivate can live to be 150 years old, a cultivator in the realm of the martial body can live to be 300 years old. This is considered going against divine laws and that is why the heavens send tribulations to try to prevent us from advancing further. " Answer Elder Di.

"Every time we go up the level we go through a tribulation, does that mean that every time we rise level our life expectancy increases? ". Another disciple asks.

"No, life expectancy only increases when we enter a new great realm. That is, our life expectancy increases when we enter the realm of the martial body, but it will not increase as we go up from the first level to the ninth level. It will only increase again when we enter the realm of martial intuition. "

"Then why should we go through trials when we rise from the first level to the ninth level of each great realm? ". The same disciple asks.

"As I said earlier, every time we fail to pass through tribulation we will lose some levels of cultivation. So if a cultivator is in the first level of the martial body and fails in his tribulation as he tries to move to the next level he will return to the realm of the martial foundation and consequently his life expectancy will decrease. ". Elder Di responds patiently.

After a few more questions related to martial cultivation the elder Di concludes his talk. Before leaving the old man Di gives one last warning.

"Tomorrow the talk will not be about martial cultivation. It will be about martial techniques. Those who wish to participate are invited to come. "

As soon as Elder Di leaves the square the crowd starts to walk away. As the crowd is leaving Wang Huo notices that Hen Wuliao is approaching him with a mocking smile on his face.

"You're on the first level of the martial foundation. As I already knew it is impossible that the result of your test is better than mine. " Hen Wuliao speaks in a provocative tone to Wang Huo.

Wang Huo sighs and responds. "The admission test tested one's talent rather than martial cultivation. If you can not understand it, I begin to doubt that your test was the third best. "

"What...". Hen Wuliao responds by raising her tone of voice.

Upon hearing the voice of Hen Wuliao, the crowd that was leaving began to look toward them.

Hen Wuliao realizes this and controls her anger.

"I just came to apologize for what happened yesterday, but you insist on offending me. Your talent may be greater than mine, but I will not allow you to be offended. " Hen Wuliao speaks in a firm tone.

His voice was not so loud, but many disciples can hear his words.

Upon realizing the attitude of Hen Wuliao, a pulsating vein in Wang Huo's forehead appears showing all his anger.
