"Old Lu, I'm ready. Please tell me about the Heavenly Unity Realm," said Mo Wen as they sat by the fire pit after dinner. Old Lu lay on a tree stump, sipping his drink, while Mo Wen sat cross-legged on another stump.
"Why don't you start by sharing your understanding of the Heavenly Unity Realm?" Old Lu prompted.
"Unity means unity. It refers to the integration of Vitality, bringing together the achievements of the previous three stages," Mo Wen replied, summarizing his understanding based solely on the literal meaning.
"Your interpretation is not wrong. The Heavenly Unity Realm, as you mentioned, primarily involves the fusion of Vitality. However, this fusion is not merely mixing together; it achieves a kind of balance. Moreover, the Heavenly Unity Realm was not always called that," Old Lu paused for a moment.
"What was it called before?" Mo Wen asked curiously.
"This Realm was previously known as the Transcendence Realm. It shared its name with the next stage, the Transcendence Stage, so to differentiate between them, people renamed it to Heavenly Unity Realm."
"I see," Mo Wen said, enlightened.
"From the perspective of realm classification, the Heavenly Unity Realm is quite an awkward Realm..." According to Old Lu, the Heavenly Unity Realm neither belongs to the Martial Realm nor to the Transcendence Stage; it serves as a transitional phase between these two major realms. Such transitional realms exist not only between the Martial Realm and Transcendence Stage but also in other contexts. Although these realms may seem awkward, their existence is crucial, which is why they are classified as separate realms. Warriors in the Heavenly Unity Realm begin to engage with the Law of Power but cannot utilize the Law on themselves like practitioners in the Transcendence Stage can. However, these warriors are significantly stronger than those who have perfected Refining Spirit but still weaker than practitioners in the Golden Body Realm. Ultimately, this Realm is categorized within the Warrior Stage.
The primary focus of the Heavenly Unity Realm is transcendence. From Warrior Stage to Transcendence Stage, warriors experience a qualitative enhancement in Vitality, allowing them to become cultivators. The Transcendence Stage is also where various specialized cultivators emerge; for instance, Dan Masters and Refiners begin their paths from this stage.
"...That's about it. Now you should understand the importance of this Heavenly Unity Realm," Old Lu concluded, turning his attention to Mo Wen's comprehension.
"Old Lu, if what you say is true, then this Realm could determine whether many people can enter the Transcendence Stage?" Mo Wen asked.
"Yes. Some people may never enter the Transcendence Stage in their lifetime. The Heavenly Unity Realm acts as a threshold that blocks some individuals. Cultivation is inherently a process of sifting through talent; at every stage and realm, there will be those who are left behind," Old Lu reflected somberly, recognizing that he himself had been among those blocked.
According to Old Lu, the Heavenly Unity Realm is a critical realm. Once perfected, a warrior achieves sublimation and enters into cultivation. Mo Wen felt excited at the thought that he could begin cultivating at just nine years old—an age when many children were still playing around without a care in the world.
"Don't get too ahead of yourself. Although your previous realm cultivation has been solid, there's no guarantee you'll succeed this time. Whether you succeed or not depends entirely on you; Old Man can't help you at all," Old Lu warned, seemingly seeing through Mo Wen's excitement and dousing it with cold water.
"And at your age, most outstanding individuals have already advanced to the Transcendence Stage. You need to be modest when you go out; you might encounter someone who surpasses you without even trying." Just as one bucket of cold water had been thrown over him, another followed closely behind. At that moment, Mo Wen could only trust Old Lu unconditionally because first, Old Lu was incredibly capable; second, he had traveled extensively and encountered many Peerless Geniuses.
