"A-Yue,This old man is surprised that you have such a way to cultivate.
Did the clan head and mistress also see the situation inside your dantain?"
Bai Yue agreed and Leng Mo paused for a moment before answering,
"Since those two didn't say anything it means that you did not tell them the issue regarding this cultivation and the reason for the advancement. They want you to walk this path ahead of you on your own.
But since this old man is the elder of your sect, I can give you guidelines regarding this matter."
He looked at the Xing Yu and Kui An and said,
"An-An, since you are not in a Soul Freedom realm, you can't sense the situation of A-Yue. Little guy you can also check the situation inside him, it may bring you some inspiration.
After this let A-Yue explain his situation clearly to us."
Kui An obediently agreed and Xing Yu also agreed to look at the situation inside the dantain. After Xing Yu looked at the situation inside the dantain he was also shocked and he looked at Bai Yue.
Leng Mo interrupted him Before he could say anything,
"Now you also saw the situation of A-Yue's dantain let's move to the next issue. A-Yue you explain the realms to us now. Even this old man is interested in this."
Bai Yue agreed and he started narrating,
"I did not understand why the realms were divided into nine stages in the beginner realms. So, I used my own knowledge regarding the cultivation path.
I took the old path as a foundation to forge a new and perfect path."
He then explained the division and the realms of spiritual energy, the foundation establishing realm and the core realm of his path. He then explained the further ideas about the next realms till domain lord.
Leng Mo and other two listened attentively finally when Bai Yue explained everything, he interrupted Bai Yue and said,
"What you explained and your ideas of the future path is good but the path you explained is quite lacking because it does not explain the future realm exactly. But this can not be explained by this alone so it's not your fault."
Xing Yu also agreed. Although he gained the basic idea regarding his disciple's path and he gained some insights regarding this, there are some flows. Although he can improve, he also wants to hear Elder Leng's knowledge regarding the realms.
"A-Yue, the path that you took is too solid that made this path full of flaws without the proper knowledge of the basics for this path.
And the cultivation path that you created, just being at the vessel realm gives you the confidence to contend with a Soul Freedom expert because you comprehend the requirement for that realm in the vessel realm.
Let this old man explain you many other things that are only explained when you reach a certain realm, like you A-Yue, who was the candy of the clan that you never bothered to learn these things when you were in the clan and this is basically lost in all the world beside the central and the deep forces of high continents."
He paused for a moment before his aura returned to the spiritual energy gathering realm. Then he continued and said,
In this realm we gather the energy from heaven and earth and refine them in our dantain to convert them ours, in the foundation establishment realm we gather that energy which is in the gas form and convert that energy to achieve a higher value of heaven and earth energy.
In this realm the energy is transformed in the liquid form which serves as the foundation for forming our future cultivation path. Then comes the core realm in which we solidify the liquified energy in a core.
In this realm we can fly in the air. Do you know why?"
Bai Yue and Kui An shook their heads and Xing Yu responded,
"because of the essence of heaven and earth."
Bai Yue was surprised. Leng Mo smiled and continued,
"Yes essence. A-Yue, An-An do you know what makes us different as we progress further in the cultivation path?"
Bai Yue and Kui An shook their heads. Leng Mo replied,
"That is heaven and earth itself. Let me explain you in details,
A-Yue, when we comprehend sword aura it is called the sword intent and so on the others like palm, fist, Saber, spear. Then if we do the same with the wind, water, darkness, poison and so on. Then what should that be called?"
Bai Yue was shocked and he did not answer immediately because this is something that he never thought and he felt that if he can learn this, his cultivation path for the vessel realm will become smooth. In the end he shook his head and Kui An also shook her head. Leng Mo laughed and he said,
"An-An you are also in the golden core realm so how do you not know?"
Kui An replied shyly, "Grandpa Mo, it is because I never cultivate seriously. I just look at the stars and my realm always improves. And before I knew it I already broke through the golden core realm."
Leng Mo was surprised and Xing Yu showed no expression because he already knew the reason. Leng Mo said,
"Ah, what would old bones like us feel if I told this news to those old fellas. Let us just skip this topic for now and focus on the main issue.
What we call this is essence. Essence is the first step on the path of laws which I will explain to you all after this.
Just like there is intent which is used for the battle forms like palm, fist, sword, formation, Saber, spear and so on. These are intent because they are formed from the mastery of the arts while the essence is cultivated from heaven and earth itself.
Essence is something that is cultivated in the realm of the bronze, silver, golden and legendary core. Not only that, the core realm is also special because of this essence or intent.
A-Yue, An-An, essence is the first step in the core realm which allows the core to reach perfection. Those special cores like the Lightning Dragon Core, Nine Burning Valley Core and so on are also formed by polishing the core with the essence and achieving that effect.
Those clans have the family arts for this reason, our clan also has the art that you cultivated and when this is cultivated to the perfection of the core realm one can build the legendary core- Heaven Ice Core. This core is the foundation for the future.
The core realm is the realm where we cultivate the essence but A-Yue has achieved this in the foundation establishment realm which shows the extraordinariness of your path.
The reason why you couldn't advance in this realm is also because you have almost no information to solidify your base.
I think you also realised the path that you have to lead and you have already stepped on that path."
Bai Yue nodded and said,
"Grandpa, I understand. Besides that I also got inspiration regarding the future path but since there is essence there must be more. So, I want to learn about them also."
Leng Mo smiled and said,
"Yes, since we have to step further we definitely have to move towards the next path.
In our world, this all way process is called The Hierarchy of Laws."
Hearing this all three felt some tremors in their hearts and Leng Mo continued,
"The first step is Essence, which lays the foundation for the future and after this comes the Assimilation. This is not the second step. It is just defined in this way.
In this realm we merge the Essence with our soul from our understanding and advance further. This is also the advancing step for the Soul freedom realm.
And to break through to the next realm we reach the third step of Manifestation. This is the third and most crucial step for the future."
This time even Xing Yu was shocked, including the two little kids.
They all waited for this old man to start explaining more. Leng Mo inwardly smiled when he looked at the three little kids who looked as if a little kid was craving for candy.
Bai Yue finally understood where he was lacking and he slightly felt concern towards Tieshan.
'I just hope that Tieshan may perfect his path without any issues and someone might help him.'
Finally Leng Mo started explaining the future path for the advancing.
