the beast is noticeably more withered.Although there was still a faint flow of blood from the wound, it wasn't excessive."Burp!"I burped.He then stood there motionless, constantly drawing on his power...Below the main hall.
Although Shen Changqing heard Dongfang Zhao's words, his heart remained unsettled.
But he kept a stoic face, waiting for Dongfang Zhao's next words.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
This is the time.
Both commanders turned their attention to him.
"It is rumored that you have reached the realm of tiger, leopard, thunder and sound. Now that I see you, it is indeed true. Your blood and energy are magnificent, unparalleled by ordinary people."
The Eastern Emperor nodded in approval.
In his perception, Shen Changqing's qi and blood were indeed thick and terrifying.
That's it.
Dongfang Zhao seemed to have seen Shen Changqing's inner changes and continued, "In just three years, you've come this far, which is astonishing. If I hadn't felt no demonic aura on you, I would almost think you had colluded with demons."
In the Demon Suppression Division, in fact, everyone has their own secrets and opportunities.
People who lack opportunities, unless they are truly exceptionally gifted, will find it difficult to go far in life.
You have your own fate, it's what you deserve. Don't worry that the Demon Suppression Division will pursue this too much. Besides, some things are not as easy as you imagine.
Last words.
This left Shen Changqing with a lot of questions.
However.
His heart, which had been hanging in the balance, eased somewhat when he heard the imperial edict.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
As long as you don't ask about the reason why you met, then everyone is a good friend.
If you ask, then there's nothing more to say.
Fortunately, the Zhenmosi's approach on this point was surprisingly consistent.
No further questions.
Do not seek.
In a way, that's quite human.
“It’s rare for us to have the chance to meet. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I won’t hide anything that I can answer, as this is a reward for you slaying Maelstrom.”
Then, the imperial decree shifted its tone and continued:
Upon hearing this.
Shen Changqing wasn't being polite either; since everyone was laying everything out in the open, there was nothing left to be concerned about.
Moreover, he already had a lot of questions and wanted someone to answer them.
Now Dongfang Zhao can say that he doesn't need to go to the library slowly looking for books.
"I dare to ask, about the Eastern Garrison, what is the specific division of realms in terms of Grandmasters, and where do Tiger-Leopard Thunder-Sound stand within this framework"
"Alright, let me explain things to you properly."
As for Shen Changqing's first question, Dongfang Zhao was not surprised, as if he had expected it long ago.
>
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
After a moment's thought, he slowly opened his mouth.
Just as one is born with both internal and external energy, Masters are also divided into several realms. The first realm is cultivating true meaning. All newly-appointed Masters are in this realm.
In this realm, the master's role is to polish the nascent true meaning just born and strengthen it further.
When your true intent becomes powerful enough to a certain extent, you will naturally step into the second realm of the Grandmaster, where your true intent manifests.
"So-called true intent manifestation is that the true intent materializes. Originally, true intent was just a kind of spiritual attack, invisible to the naked eye. However, once it reaches the level of true intent manifestation, true intent can also be seen with the naked eye, and its power becomes even stronger."
The Myrbah you slew was in such a state.

And the third realm is called Tiger-Leopard Thunderclap. This is an extraordinary phenomenon manifested after one's physical Qi and Blood reaches a certain limit. Warriors who achieve this realm possess the power of the Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The fourth realm is called the Great Sun Furnace. It's a transformation that takes the tiger, leopard, and thunderclap sounds to an even higher level. This realm represents the true limit of a warrior's physical body.
Nurturing true meaning!
The true meaning manifests!
Tiger, Leopard, Thunderous Sound!
Great Sun Furnace!
Shen Changqing silently recited these four realms in his heart, and suddenly felt something strange.
"How come these four realms of the master don't seem to connect"
"It seems you've noticed as well."
The Eastern emperor's face broke into a smile, his expression of approval even greater.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"That's right, in fact, after a martial artist reaches the Grandmaster realm, there are two systems: one is the spiritual system and the other is the physical system. And the true essence in a martial artist's dantian, to be precise, also belongs to the physical system."
>
Two systems
Shen Changqing's doubts grew deeper.
However.
Before he could ask, Dongfang Zhao had already begun the next step of his explanation.
“The spiritual system, the path it takes is to cultivate true meaning, and then to manifest true meaning. When true meaning manifestation is complete, that's when a martial artist truly reaches the peak they can aspire to!”
>
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“The physical body, the path it walks is tiger-leopard thunder-sound, then to the Great Sun Furnace, until the very last step, it's also reached the peak that martial artists can aspire to.”
“Strictly speaking, the two systems don't interfere with each other, but the threshold for entering the realm of Tiger, Leopard, Thunder, and Sound is much higher than entering the gate of true intention manifestation.”
Almost all masters who have reached the level of Tiger, Leopard, Thunder, and Sound have already crossed the threshold of manifesting true intent.
Therefore, many people mistakenly believe that the two stages of the spiritual system are equivalent to the initial and middle stages of a master's cultivation, while the two stages of the physical system are equivalent to the later and peak stages of a master's cultivation.
Actually, such a statement has some inaccuracies.
In fact, the two systems are equal in strength.
He said a lot in one breath.
Dongfang Zhao remained silent for the moment, giving Shen Changqing some time to slowly digest the information.
What he said was both a secret and not a secret.
As for those at the grandmaster level, nine out of ten would understand that, unless they were reclusive grandmasters who kept to themselves, Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Spirit system!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Physical body!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Combining the Eastern Emperor's words, Shen Changqing had a great epiphany.
Originally, after breaking through to the master level, there are two systems to follow, one is the spiritual system, and the other is the physical system.
But.
Shen Changqing found something was amiss again.
>
“In that case, my breakthrough of the Tiger-Leopard Thunder Sound is just stepping into the threshold of the master level of the physical body system. Mayer has already manifested his true intentions, which means he has entered the peak of the spiritual system.”
Logically, his strength should be greater than mine, but in reality, he is not my opponent at all.
That's because, the strength of the spiritual system, only when it reaches a profound realm, will it show its advantages.
> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Eastern Emperor patiently answered.
When a warrior steps into the realm where true intent manifests, their strength doesn't increase much compared to others of the same level. However, they exert immense pressure on those who haven't crossed the threshold of true intent or whose qi and blood haven't grown strong enough to form the roar of tigers, leopards, thunder, and lightning.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
On the contrary, once a martial artist enters the realm of Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound, their strength will increase significantly, and they will be able to suppress the spiritual system in turn.
Whether they are cultivating true meaning or just stepping into the realm of manifesting true meaning, they are all at an introductory stage. Only when the manifestation of true meaning reaches a profound state will it exert extraordinary and unparalleled power.
By that time, a truly powerful being at the peak of the spirit system was completely on par with a powerhouse at the peak of the physical body system.
But the difficulty of reaching this step is great. Many people only barely enter the threshold of manifestation of true meaning and can no longer go forward, they can only take a step back and start walking the path of the physical body system.
That's why the division of masters' realms is circulated in the martial arts world.
Okay!
Got it!
It’s not that the spiritual system is weak, but rather that no one can reach the ultimate level of strength. Almost all masters barely manage to step into the threshold where true intent manifests, and then they abandon the spiritual system, instead focusing on the physical system.
This way.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
This resulted in all the masters of Hu Bao Lei Yin, crossing the threshold into the realm where true intentions manifest. It also created an illusion where the physical body system surpassed the spiritual body system.
>
Mayleba has reached the last realm of the spiritual system, but he's just wandering around the door and hasn't gone deep inside. That's why the other party will be killed by him alive.
To put it simply.
That barbarian general never tapped into the true power of a spiritual system.
Please provide me with the text you would like me to translate. I'm ready!
On the contrary.
By leveraging its own panel, it took the lead and entered the realm of Tiger-Leopard-Thunder-Sound.
“So, the spiritual system is easy to enter but difficult to master, while the physical body system is difficult to enter but once you do, the path afterward is easier than the spiritual system” Shen Changqing summed up himself.
"You're right."
The Eastern Emperor looked at him like a promising youngster.
Received a positive response.
Shen Changqing didn't dwell on this matter any further. Instead, he focused on another issue in Dongfang Zhao's words.
"What the Eastern Garrison's words mean is that after the true meaning manifests to its limit, it becomes the warrior's mental limit, and the Great Sun Stove represents the warrior's physical limit"
Limit!
What is the limit, entering nowhere can be called a limit!
>
If the Grandmaster is the ultimate limit, then what about the subsequent Celestial Stairway Demon Slayers and Guardians Are they all powerful beings who have surpassed their limits
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing couldn't be sure, so he wanted to get the answer from the other party.
"Yes, they are the ultimate limit of martial artists."
“And I ask, what realm does the Eastern Garrison reach after breaking through its limits”
"Break the limits"
The Eastern Emperor shook his head and chuckled.
“No one has ever been able to break the limit. Since the founding of martial arts, the grandmaster has always been the ultimate limit for all martial artists. Perhaps someone will be able to achieve the level of breaking the limit in the future, but now, there isn't a single one.”
Wow!!!
The Eastern Emperor's words caused Shen Changqing's body to tremble slightly, his face contorting in shock.
>
What does this mean
Is Master the ultimate limit
If one cannot break through the limits, then what use is a Marshal Is his power merely that of a Grandmaster
Then what about demons
Demons and fiends soar above the bizarre, beyond the reach of ordinary masters.
If there are no strong humans who have broken through their limits in the human race, then what do humans use to counter demons
For a while.
Shen Changqing felt that Dongfang Zhao's words were somewhat absurd and ridiculous.
But looking at the other person's expression, he didn't feel that the garrison commander was joking.
Facing the inquiry.
The smile on Dongfang Zhao's face faded, replaced by a deep gaze and a melancholic expression.
"The Celestial Rank Demon Slayers are not as powerful as you imagine. A Grandmaster is the limit of a martial artist, but truly reaching that limit is rare."
Actually—
“With your Tiger, Leopard, Thunder, and Sound realm, you are already capable of joining the ranks of Heavenly Staircase Demon Exterminators.”figures stepped out of the void and charged towards their opponents.“Who are you, to dare attack me!”The Azure Tiger’s face was filled with rage as he stared at the several cultivators who obscured th...
