Realms In The Firmament
chapter-1653

Chihuo laughed and then started to think. After a while, he said, “Would you be disappointed if I tell you that I don’t know much about it either?”

Ye Xiao was surprised. He said, “You don’t? Master Chihuo, do you mean you have no idea what the upper stages are, even though you are already beyond the top of the Saint Origin Stage?”

Chihuo slapped his leg and said, “You truly are a clever man. That is it. I have climbed over the top of the Saint Origin Stage, but I have no idea what stage I am in, even though I can fully master the power of my current stage.”

Chihuo thought for a while and said, “Only people above the Saint Origin Stage have such confusion… What is the stage I am in?

“Well, I have been in this stage for a long time, so I have my views based on my experience. I think there are a few stages beyond the Saint Origin Stage, but I am not sure if it is a widely recognized theory… I can’t be sure…”

Chihuo said, “You must remember, this is based on my own recognition. Maybe there are a lot of people who have the same opinion, but I am not sure if it is right… I think beyond the ninth level of the Saint Origin Stage, there are four stages, the Immortality Stage, the Undead Stage, the Infinity Stage, and the Supremacy.”

Chihuo looked a bit confused. “As for the higher stages beyond the Supremacy… Well, I am not sure. It must be above the Human Realm Upon Heavens.”

Ye Xiao nodded and said, “Please.”

Chihuo said, “The first stage over the Saint Origin Stage is the Immortality Stage. It is difficult to describe this stage. It is stronger than the Saint Origin Stage. People in the Immortality Stage will have his veins, Jing and Mai, flesh and bones all purged. It is like… We can get a new life when reaching this stage…

“The magical transmutation is like turning a dying old man into a child… The physical condition will return to the prime status.

“An Immortality Stage cultivator’s life can be ten times longer than a top-level Saint Origin Stage cultivator. That is the longest time a cultivator in the Immortality Stage can have… However, people always get hurt in the martial world.

“That is the Immortality Stage. It extends people’s life a great deal, but it doesn’t really bring immortality to cultivators.” Chihuo smiled and said, “I am a good example. I am in the Immortality Stage. I am sure about it. However, if I don’t get to the Undead Stage in three years, I will die.”

Ye Xiao nodded and said, “I am clear.”

“Right. The Undead Stage is over the Immortality Stage. People in the Undead Stage can be truly immoral. The Seven Golden Lotuses, the dragon and the phoenix you met earlier, they are all superior cultivators in the Undead Stage. Perhaps, some of them have reached the Infinity Stage. I can’t prove it. I am not sure if they are. It is beyond my recognition.

“Let’s focus on me. If I reach the Undead Stage, I won’t have to face death anymore. The length of people’s life depends on the physical body. The Undead Stage cultivators are beyond that. If their bodies are dead, their souls will find another body. In nine days, they will get everything back and live on.

“In other words, as long as the cultivator’s soul is unharmed, they can’t die!

“Souls of the Undead Stage cultivators can only be destroyed or swallowed by people in the same stage. Other than that, they can always burn their own souls to end their eternal lives. They can’t die in other ways.

“That is why this stage is called the Undead Stage.”

Chihuo was obviously looking forward to it.

“Over the Undead Stage, it is the Infinity Stage. People in the Infinity Stage live to the end of the world! They live as long as the sun and the moon live! They are eternal!” Chihuo’s eyes were shining. “In the Human Realm Upon Heavens, there are some Infinity Stage cultivators…”

He thought for a while and said, “There are less than ten!”

After a while, he said again, “In fact, there are only six!”

Less than ten.

Only six.

Ye Xiao was shocked. He said, “Are they the five Sky Kings and the Great Master Ye?”

Chihuo was respectful and he said, “That’s right. The universe is limitless. There are always stronger people. Maybe somebody else has reached this stage, but there are definitely less than ten in total… I can only be sure about these six!”

Ye Xiao felt like something was rolling up in his chest.

“What about the Supremacy? Who has reached the Supremacy? A Sky King? The Great Master Ye?” Ye Xiao asked.

“In fact, I am not sure if the Supremacy is a stage… Maybe it is not.” Chihuo said, “I know one thing, and many others do too… If somebody can conquer everything… If somebody can defeat everybody in the Human Realm Upon Heavens… If somebody can make the five Sky Kings and the Great Master Ye bow… He must be the Supremacy.

“There is only one Supremacy in the world, even in the universe. There can only be one Supremacy!”

Chihuo said, “Nobody compares the Supremacy!”

“There are countless stars in the sky, but there can only be one sun!” Chihuo said, “Maybe it is not a good metaphor… Well, the Supremacy is like the sun in the sky!”

“I see.” Ye Xiao slowly said.

The Immortality Stage, the Undead Stage, the Infinity Stage, and the Supremacy.

“I don’t know whether people all recognize these four stages or not. I believe most of the cultivators agree with it.” Chihuo said, “This is what I know about cultivation beyond the top of the Saint Origin Stage.”

“It is more than enough for me.” Ye Xiao slowly nodded.
