Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques

"How long until the Great Calamity arrives?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

"The exact time cannot be measured; we can only gauge an approximate span. It will be roughly around a thousand years from now, when the Dark Domain and Chaos collide, then begin to fuse, and countless passages will appear thereafter."

Lu Changsheng's brows knit tightly.

A thousand years was far too short.

Once the Great Calamity descended, then whether it be the lives of Chaos or the Great Saints of the Dark Domain, none would be spared.

They could only enter the calamity in person.

Lu Changsheng could not help but ask, "May I ask, Ancestor, why must the Dark Domain and Chaos fight to the death? As for the Great Emperors, that I can still understand. They wish to live out a second life, a third life, a fourth life, and need some Divine Medicines to assist them. But the source lives have lifespans that are virtually infinite, undying and indestructible—what is there that would be worth them risking their lives to contend with the Great Emperors of the Dark Domain?"

Lu Changsheng pondered over it endlessly yet could not figure it out.

The source lives held far too great an advantage over the Great Emperors.

There was no need to fight the Great Emperors to the death.

"Heh."

"With no desire and no pursuit, why would they fight to the death?"

"However, source lives also have karma, also have entanglements. The clash between the Dark Domain and Chaos is, in truth, led by the dual world wills. The Dark Domain and Chaos are two sides of a single whole, yet in reality this is inherently abnormal. Both world wills seek to devour the other and become the one and only!"

"Under such circumstances, the dual world wills will, through all manner of means, drive the two realms' Cultivators into a great war. For instance, those Great Emperors of the Dark Domain—why are their lifespans so short? I fear that too is orchestrated by the will of the Dark Domain, done deliberately, for the sole purpose of forcing those Great Emperors to stake everything on invading Chaos, obtaining Divine Medicines, and extending their lives."

"The source lives within Chaos are indeed undying and indestructible, with lifespans without end, but unless a source life can abandon everything within Chaos and leave Chaos entirely, then so long as it remains in Chaos, how could it possibly stand by and watch as the countless lives in Chaos are slaughtered to extinction? Watch its own kin, disciples, and so on, fall one after another?"

"At that time, even source lives can only enter the calamity."

The Qing Chi Ancestor let out a long sigh.

Why was the fusion and collision of the Dark Domain and Chaos called a Great Calamity?

It was precisely because under the Great Calamity, source lives and Great Emperors alike were unable to act of their own will.

"What about Realm Masters?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

The Qing Chi Ancestor had mentioned only Great Emperors and source lives, and had not mentioned Realm Masters.

"Realm Masters…"

The Qing Chi Ancestor glanced at Lu Changsheng, then spoke in a deep voice: "Realm Masters are exceedingly special. Realm Masters are completely different from source lives and Great Emperors; they are utterly distinct at the level of Cultivation Systems."

"Chaos gathers ten thousand Mighty Powers into one body, but can only shelter itself, can only guarantee the Transcendence of oneself alone. Great Emperors comprehend myriad Great Daos, yet in essence they are not much different from source lives—ultimately it is still ten thousand Mighty Powers gathered into one body, and they can only preserve themselves."

"But Realm Masters are not the same. A Realm Master holds dominion over a single World, and within that World countless lives can exist. There are even some who speculate that once a Realm Master grows strong enough, they themselves are equivalent to the Dark Domain or Chaos, able to let innumerable kin, friends, and descendants all live within the World inside their own body. As for the so‑called Great Calamity, it fundamentally cannot exert any influence upon them."

"Thus, through each cycle of Great Calamities, Realm Masters have always remained neutral, and may truly be said to be untouched by ten thousand calamities."

Lu Changsheng understood.

So Realm Masters were that special?

Even if the Dark Domain and Chaos waged war.

Even when, at that time, the baleful aura of calamity from Chaos and the Dark Domain pervaded everything.

A Realm Master could simply gather their kin and friends into the Inner World within their body, then hide beyond Chaos—what could the Great Calamity of the Dark Domain and Chaos possibly do to them?

Viewed this way, Realm Masters were the ones who truly stood detached from all things.

"By the way, the Realm Master Cultivation System is entirely different from that of Great Emperors and the lives of Chaos. Hence there are some rumors that the Realm Master Cultivation System was actually introduced from beyond Chaos, that it has nothing to do with Chaos or the Dark Domain. Whether that rumor is true or not, no one knows. After all, Realm Masters in Chaos and the Dark Domain are far, far too few—so few that even I have never once seen a single true Realm Master…"

The Qing Chi Ancestor gave Lu Changsheng a meaningful look.

Lu Changsheng's heart, on the contrary, gave a sudden tremor.

Realm Masters might have originated from beyond Chaos?

In the past, Lu Changsheng had scarcely ever thought of such a thing.

But now, hearing the Qing Chi Ancestor say this, Lu Changsheng felt as if suddenly enlightened within.

He faintly understood that this claim was likely not without foundation.

Realm Masters regarded both the Dark Domain Origin Power and the Power of Chaos Origin in the same light.

Both could be used for Cultivation.

It was merely that the Power of Chaos Origin was extremely difficult to obtain.

Seen in this way, the Realm Master Path was so "indiscriminate" regarding resources that it indeed fit the possibility of having been "introduced from outside."

Moreover, the upper limit of a Realm Master was exceedingly high.

So high that, for now, Lu Changsheng could not fathom where that limit lay.

For instance, Lu Changsheng's own Realm Master Cultivation System.

He had even treated the Void Realm as a Dark Domain in his Simulation.

If he truly succeeded one day, and the Void Realm ultimately transformed and shed its shell to become a Dark Domain, how formidable would that be?

To hold dominion over the entire power of a Dark Domain.

When that time came, if Lu Changsheng's Void Realm really evolved into a Dark Domain, would he not stand above all source lives and Great Emperors?

The Realm Master Cultivation System was thus so unique, with an upper limit so high as to be unimaginable.

And it had not the slightest similarity to source lives or Great Emperors.

In the past, Lu Changsheng had not thought much of it.

Now that he thought about it, perhaps the Realm Master Cultivation System truly had been introduced from beyond Chaos.

Of course, this was only a rumor, and even the Qing Chi Ancestor could not verify it.

"Ancestor, as for the matter of Chaos lives infiltrating the Dark Domain, will it continue?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

"For the time being, there is no need. With merely a thousand years left, the Great Calamity will arrive very soon. The people you sent into the Dark Domain last time should have no trouble lasting a thousand years. To send more people in now would be meaningless, and would instead increase the risk of your exposure."
