Chapter 571: Opening

"The True Spirit Realm... As expected, it's incredibly difficult," he murmured.
Absolute Control, the Perfect Realm, the True Spirit Realm, and beyond them, the Transcendent Realm of Omniscience and Omnipotence. These were the stages of cultivation that shape a practitioner's life.
The Perfect Realm could theoretically only be comprehended within the Astral World, where the omnipresent power of the Eternal Oblivion Force would erode and assist a person's understanding.
It was like learning to swim. No amount of theoretical knowledge on land could replace being thrown into the river. If one was lucky, a few splashes were enough to stay afloat.
As for those who failed to learn, they wouldn't have the chance to speak of it.
