The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine - Chapter 994

Chapter 994: Chapter 994: A Brand New World! Chapter 994: Chapter 994: A Brand New World! At that moment, Huang Xiaolong followed the same method, tossing out a few blank talisman papers and forcibly extracting the soul of the Ailao Mountain youth with the Soul-Searching Demonic Hand. Furthermore, he refined all the memories, Cultivation Techniques, and Mana contained within the youth’s soul onto the talisman papers.

The Ailao Mountain youth initially screamed heartrendingly a few times, but soon, as various “essences” drained from his soul, his eyes gradually lost their luster, his Mana began to dissipate, and his body temperature started to cool. In fact, at this point, the arrogant and self-important Ailao Mountain youth had already breathed his last.

On one of the talisman papers, dense text was roiling–this was the lifetime of memories belonging to the Ailao Mountain youth.

Huang Xiaolong read through them with great interest.

He also learned many things. Many things about the cultivators from overseas!

Overseas, there were many sects and numerous powers, a mingling of dragons and snakes.

The most fundamentally powerful among these sects included the likes of the Shushan Sect, Kongtong Sect, Emei Sect, Huashan Sect, Qingcheng Sect… and many more. Their number was beyond count.

As for the sect that this Ailao Mountain youth belonged to, it was somewhat weak with declining disciples and incomplete heritage, far from being mentioned in the same breath as glorious sects like Shushan. It could only survive by relying upon the breath of the larger sects, preventing its extinction.

In the world of overseas cultivators, what matters is not leisure and freedom, not light clouds and gentle breezes, not being free from desires. Instead, it’s about cutting through brambles and thorns, with the law of the jungle vividly illustrated–whoever has the bigger fist, has the truth.

Therefore, the competition between the major sects overseas was extremely brutal.

Additionally, an important piece of information that Huang Xiaolong obtained was the division of realms among overseas cultivators!

Qi Condensation Realm–This is the most basic realm, where cultivators can absorb nature’s spiritual energy, or the energy from Spirit Stones and heavenly materials and treasures, to temper their bodies and broaden their meridians, endowing them with the strength to capture tigers and throw elephants and even kill from afar. This realm is actually equivalent to a Great Grandmaster in ancient martial arts, capable of releasing True Qi externally.

However, when ancient martial arts are cultivated to their extreme, it only reaches the release of True Qi, whereas for overseas cultivators, this step is merely the basics, just the entrance threshold.

Cultivators in the Qi Condensation Realm are considered cannon fodder, mere ants overseas.

Mana Realm–This is the second realm for cultivators, where they transform the absorbed spiritual energy into a more powerful force called “Mana.” Possessing Mana allows one to manipulate the natural elements like thunder, lightning, water, fire, wind, and rain, to traverse through the air, and to create local natural phenomena. One can learn and utilize some ancient and powerful spells.

This Ailao Mountain youth was actually a practitioner in the “Mana Realm.”

Overseas cultivators further divided these realms into early, middle, and late stages. To be precise, the Ailao Mountain disciple was at the late stage of the Mana Realm.

Such cultivation, in the world of overseas cultivators, allowed one to be considered little more than a lackey, able to earn a living without too much trouble.

Based on the memory of the Ailao Mountain youth, Huang Xiaolong estimated that the three Kongtong Sect magicians he had encountered in Beijing were also at the late stage of the Mana Realm.

Divine Skills Realm–Upon reaching this realm, the practitioner’s Mana would skyrocket, both in quality and quantity, taking a huge leap forward. Moreover, cultivators in the Divine Skills Realm could cultivate powerful spells, set up large formations, create advanced talismans, and even refine simple flying swords or magical treasures. How to describe the spells of a Divine Skills Realm cultivator? For example…with a single thought, they could move mountains! Put simply, a cultivator in the Divine Skills Realm could, with a single thought, move a great mountain, and even control it to move hundreds of miles as if it were nothing. This was truly terrifying; a high-level cultivator at the Divine Skills Realm could destroy a modern city with just a few thoughts and some consumption of Mana.

Overseas, being at the Divine Skills Realm already makes one a minor powerhouse. Whether in any sect, even in the mighty Shushan Sect, the Divine Skills Realm represents a leader-level existence.

Moreover, having cultivated to the Divine Skills Realm, one could easily achieve a lifespan of a thousand years!

The Divine Skills Realm is also divided into three stages: early, middle, and late.

The son of the Shushan Sect Master, Young Master Ling Xiaopeng, whom Huang Xiaolong had killed earlier, had just stepped into the Divine Skills Realm. He was in the early phase of the Divine Skills Realm.

If he hadn’t died, he would definitely have a bright future, with limitless potential.

Unfortunately, having crossed Huang Xiaolong, all he could do was meet an early death and end in resentment.

The Tribulation Transcending Realm–upon cultivating to this level, one would attract the envy of the heavens, bringing down a great calamity. If one couldn’t pass through it, then one would either perish completely or have to rebuild one’s cultivation from scratch. Once one passed, it meant reversing life and death, possessing an indestructible body for ten thousand years, and eternal youth. Of course, while the physical body is said to be immortal, in the eternal river of time, nothing is truly indestructible.

Even overseas, this realm, the Tribulation Transcending Realm, signifies a major powerhouse, typically leading a sect or a rank of elders. In some smaller sects, a practitioner at this level would be the most esteemed individual.

For example, the Sect Master of Ailao Mountain is merely at the early stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. And the entire Ailao Mountain is overseen by only one strong warrior at the Tribulation Transcending Realm, their sole hope. Should he fall, the sect would almost certainly collapse.

The Heavenly Law Embodiment Realm–this stage is extremely mysterious, involving the transformation of all of one’s mana into the power of the soul and spirit, into divine thoughts. Why transform mana into soul power and divine thoughts? Because the most mystical organ within a person is actually the brain.

In the memories of this young man from Ailao Mountain, there is very little exploration of the Heavenly Law Embodiment Realm, perhaps because he himself simply does not know the wonderful aspects of this stage.

The young man from Ailao Mountain only knows that once one cultivates to the Heavenly Law Embodiment Realm, every single thought can be turned into a clone. A master of the Heavenly Law Embodiment Realm, if they can condense a thousand divine thoughts, can create a thousand clones; even if 999 of them died, as long as one remains, they could survive.

Practitioners of the Heavenly Law Embodiment Realm also possess divine abilities like regeneration from a single drop of blood, and the unbelievable phenomenon of materializing divine thoughts.

Basically, once reaching such a realm, it means one could hardly, if ever, be killed. Or rather it would be very, very difficult to kill them.

The last realm known to the young man from Ailao Mountain!

The Immortal Realm!

Reaching the Immortal Realm means dominating the world, ruling over mortals, and commanding respect across the universe, completely transcending everything. In ancient times, such beings would receive the tribute of thousands of nations as exalted immortals!

An entity of the Immortal Realm, if they self-destructed, could potentially destroy the entire Earth, their power comparable to the detonation of dozens of nuclear bombs, an unthinkable magnitude of force.

…

“Hahaha~~~” Reading these memories, Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but get excited. “My God~~ unbelievable! Overseas, they have distinguished so many realms! Qi Drawing Realm–Mana Realm–Divine Skills Realm–Tribulation Transcending Realm–Heavenly Law Embodiment Realm–Immortal Realm… Every realm is further split into early, middle, and late stages! It turns out, the world of cultivators overseas is so clearly defined! But–what realm do I belong to?”

Huang Xiaolong felt somewhat puzzled; with his identity as the Yin Emperor and the various methods at his disposal, it was difficult to classify him within the realms defined by cultivators from overseas!

Perhaps, Huang Xiaolong is just an anomaly!

Continuing to read the memories of the Ailao Mountain youth!

In the world of overseas cultivators, there are two major power rankings.

The first power ranking–the Hidden Dragon List!

This list consists of the young generation’s experts–those who shine the brightest, who display their edges and corners most keenly, who are the most wild and unruly, and who are brimming with talent!

The so-called young generation refers to those outstanding individuals under the age of 30!

The Hidden Dragon List has a total of 108 seats, and those who make it onto the list are all extraordinary talents destined to take the reins of the overseas cultivators’ world in the future!

In the memories of the Ailao Mountain youth, there is indeed a name, “Ling Xiaopeng,” 27 years old, ranked 97th on the Hidden Dragon List!

Besides the Hidden Dragon List, there is another ranking called the “Titans List.”

Those on the Titans List are all powerful beings, with no age restriction, where strength speaks for itself.

…

Huang Xiaolong read the memories of the Ailao Mountain youth with relish, completely mesmerized. These memories opened a brand new window for him, showing him a new world he had never imagined before!

A world belonging to the true powerhouses between heaven and earth!

It was like a grand, sweeping tapestry unfolding before Huang Xiaolong’s eyes!

Additionally, in these memories, there are numerous details about the foreign heavenly and earthly treasures, demonic sects, the Demon Race, Loose Cultivators… all sorts of information.

Lastly, it mentioned why many overseas cultivators had all come to Huaxia this time to celebrate Master Zhang’s birthday.

In fact, the real intention behind this birthday celebration wasn’t just about giving birthday wishes.

According to what the Ailao Mountain youth knew, although overseas was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers with experts emerging from all major sects, the population was far less than that of Huaxia. This led to a talent gap. Some sects were even struggling to recruit disciples with potential and qualifications.

Therefore, many overseas sects, in order to preserve their legacies, took the initiative to step into Huaxia and select young cultivators with good potential and qualifications from Huaxia, then bring them overseas to take them as disciples and enhance their sect’s prestige!

Indeed, the world of overseas cultivators cannot be compared with the vast population of Huaxia. Over the years, the new disciples recruited by the sects have decreased batch by batch. Just last year, for instance, Ailao Mountain only took in a dozen disciples–and several of them were only marginally qualified!

With Huaxia’s large population, even if their foundation in the Dao arts is somewhat lacking, or even if they don’t know any Dao arts at all, if they have potential, if they are jewels in the rough, then they are still worth careful sculpting and cultivation.

Master Zhang, in essence, acts as a middleman and also gains certain benefits from this role.

To use an inappropriate analogy, Master Zhang is like a “human trafficker.”

Of course, those from Huaxia, if given the opportunity, would be eager to go overseas to pursue immortality and seek the Dao.

This is actually a win-win-win situation!

However, what other ulterior motives the various overseas sects may have, that’s beyond what the Ailao Mountain youth was qualified to know.

In a nutshell, this birthday celebration of Master Zhang marks the first intimate contact between the cultivators of Huaxia and the overseas world!

All memories have been read.

The various spells, mana, of the Ailao Mountain youth were also refined into several talismans.

These talismans shone brightly, permeated with subtle mana fluctuations.

Boom~~~!

After sieving out the essence and discarding the dross, what remained of the Ailao Mountain youth’s soul was crushed by Huang Xiaolong’s Soul-Searching Devil Hand. His cold body also fell to the ground.

“Little Long~~” Ma Chuxia, Feng Hanyan, Yan Pianpian, and the others also quickly gathered around.

“Hahaha~~ You have no idea, but through reading this guy’s memories, I’ve learned about such an incredible world! Hahaha~~ Spectacular! Absolutely spectacular!” Huang Xiaolong exclaimed with eyebrows dancing.

He then handed the talismans emanating mana fluctuations to Ma Chuxia and laughed, “Little wife, take some time to slowly refine these talismans. Your thoughts have been tempered, and your comprehension is very strong. I estimate in about three to five months, you could become a cultivator at the late stage of the Mana Realm.”

“Mana Realm? Late stage?” Ma Chuxia was puzzled.

“Yes, that’s the realm this guy was in before he died. Moreover, these talismans seal many spells from the Ailao Mountain lineage. Little wife, considering your current realm, if you were in the overseas world, you would at most be at the ‘Qi Drawing Realm,’ which is nothing more than cannon fodder~~” Huang Xiaolong chuckled.

Ma Chuxia and his other wives didn’t understand at all. Even the three little demons had a jumbled mess in their heads.

“Alright, I’ll clean up the bodies of these two, and then we’ll head back to the Dragon Tiger Mountain villa. Good! Very good! I have never been so excited about what’s about to happen next!” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes shone like the stars, filled with boundless imagination.
