In other words, there was a glorious period for body tempering?
This piqued Chen Yi's interest. His special bloodline, [Burning Devils Body s], focused more on body training. Once he transformed into a Burning Demon, his body's strength would increase to an extremely terrifying level.
This made Chen Yi puzzled and confused. Refining the body really couldn't compare to refining the Qi. If refining the body really couldn't compare to refining the Qi, then why was his special bloodline so powerful?
Just because it was a high level?
From the looks of it, the source of all this lay in the inheritance.
Chen Yu was also stunned, he clearly didn't understand the glory of body refining.
Ancestor Ziyun saw Chen Yu's doubt and laughed, "Although this guy's talent is outstanding and has reached Yuan Combination Stage level before even reaching fifty, it's precisely because of this that you're still lacking in the accumulation of some knowledge, and can't compare to those years of Yuan Combination Stage."
"So it's normal that you don't understand some of the history of body refining."
"If it wasn't for the fact that this old man also cultivated his body back then and the special bloodline he awakened focused more on strengthening his body, this old man wouldn't necessarily be interested in the history of body refining. Furthermore, this old man would know some reasons for the decline of body refining."
Then, Ancestor Ziyun gradually told Chen Yi and Chen Yu about the history he knew.
Before the establishment of Liangyue Empire, they were similarly ruled by a huge force. This force was not a dynasty, but a sect.
This sect was called the Spirit Body Sect. At that time, it was extremely famous and its strength was overflowing. It unified the entire Nine Provinces. There were a lot of Grandmasters, Grandmasters, and Great Grandmaster experts. Just the strongest Great Grandmaster alone had more than ten.
And now, the combined Great Grandmaster of the Liangyue of the Liangyue Empire and the three sects of the world, does not even amount to ten people.
From this, it could be seen how terrifying the strength of the Spirit Body Sect back then was.
This sect, on the other hand, was mainstream in body refinement, and had the most complete body refinement inheritance and cultivation technique.
Refining the body was not without Quasi-innate, it was just that the inheritance had been lost. The current Body Refinement Technique was either an incomplete part of the past, or it was something that had been created by him, and was either incomplete or incomplete.
According to the remnants left behind by the later generations, many of them wanted to perfect the parts, or to use the parts to create their own techniques, in order to make up for the period of body refining Quasi-innate.
However, it was extremely difficult to create a Body Refinement Technique that could directly connect to the Innate Realm. As such, the current Body Refinement Technique was still lacking in this stage.
After all, when the Spirit Body Sect was at its peak, the three sects already existed. Even if the three sects of that era weren't considered strong, at that time, they were still in the prime of their cultivation, so there was a chance that the three sects had left behind perfect Body Refinement Technique s.
It might not be as strong as the Body Refinement Technique of the Spirit Body Sect, but it was absolutely not something that most imperfect Body Refinement Technique could compare to.
As for Ancestral Land, they certainly did not exist, and even when Chen Family Ancestor became famous, it was only a few thousand years ago.
[Book of Crimson Nimbus] was a cultivation technique that could allow a practitioner's body and Quasi-innate to contend against each other. Amongst the Body Refinement Technique, it could already be considered the best.
In the past, when the [Book of Crimson Nimbus] was used for body refinement, it would at least be discarded like a pair of shoes in the Spirit Body Sect.
In that era, a complete body refinement legacy would allow a body refinement martial artist to advance to the Innate Realm, just like Qi Refinement Cultivator, after a period of Quasi-innate.
Be it Body Refinement or Qi Refining, the chances of advancing to the Innate Realm were the same.
Unlike now, it was difficult for even one of the ten Upper Sky Realm warriors to rely on body refinement to advance.
Usually, only one would appear out of dozens, or even hundreds.
Moreover, because of the separation of the body refining inheritances, the body refining Upper Sky Realm had no suitable Upper Sky attack, so they were often ranked at the bottom level among the Upper Sky Realm.
In that era, body practitioners were no worse than Qi Refinement Cultivator.
Furthermore, in that era, there were quite a few warriors who cultivated at the same time. The chances of warriors who had both cultivated body refinement and Qi to reach the Innate Realm, and who in the future would have their body transform into a top-tier Innate Body at the Astral Deities Worship Stage stage, also far exceeded the current rate.
Basically, ten Innates with the same cultivation could already do it at the Astral Deities Worship Stage level.
Some of the Heavenly Pride s and monsters, at the peak of the Astral Deities Worship Stage realm, relied on the Fourth Rank of the top-notch Innate Body and also relied on some special attacks that belonged to the body refinement realm, and had strength that could chase up to a Grandmaster!
Those existences at the bottom of the Master Stage might not even be able to win for sure.
In that era, the status of a body practitioner was no less than Qi Refinement Cultivator's.
Furthermore, because of the existence of Great Grandmaster, which was comparable to that of a king level entity, the status of a body practitioner was even higher than Qi Refinement Cultivator's.
It was a pity that no matter how large a sect was, after a period of time, it would inevitably form many factions and sink into battle.
As a result, the huge Spirit Body Sect finally collapsed and the world became chaotic. The heroes took advantage of the situation and suppressed the Spirit Body Sect. No one wanted a huge thing like the Spirit Body Sect to appear above their heads again.
It was at this time that the first generation Liangyue King of the Liangyue of the Liangyue Dynasty, the Liangyue Sovereign who was known as the Sovereign, rose to prominence.
At this time, the three sects in the world were still just ordinary sects. Forget about comparing with the body refining sect, even compared to the Liangyue Empire, they were still lacking a lot.
While the world was in turmoil, the Spirit Body Sect was continuously suppressed, and the body refining legacy just disappeared like that.
This was what was written in the book, but the ancestor said, "Even so, the body refining legacy shouldn't have been broken so many times. I'm guessing that when the body refining legacy was lost, there might even be that Martial Saint suppressing it."
It was only because of an existence surpassing the Great Grandmaster that a king could suppress the cultivation of his body to the point where his legacy would be cut off.
The other powers didn't have this ability.
When the Patriarch mentioned the first Liangyue King, his tone contained a bit of worship and reverence, but also some dissatisfaction and helplessness.
This was because the first Liangyue King was one of the very few people who broke through their Great Grandmaster and ascended to the Sovereign Profound Realm.
Before this, the number of Chaoling Continent Sovereign s that were born was pitifully small.
Even in the Spirit Body Sect, only Sect Leader was the first to become a Martial Saint. After so many years of Spirit Body Sect ruling over the Nine Provinces, there was no second.
After that, there was similarly no second Sovereign born in the Liangyue Dynasty.
The current Liangyue King did not even seem to have a Great Grandmaster, and was only a grandmaster.
Perfection of the Great Grandmaster meant that he was already the strongest on this lifetime's path of martial arts.
And the helplessness and dissatisfaction, was naturally because of the loss of the body refinement legacy, which was also related to the existence of the Liangyue Sovereign.
Ancestor Ziyun's current position in the Chen Family was a little awkward. Compared to other Peak Masters of the same realm, Ancestor Ziyun's strength could not be considered as strong.
The reason was simple; his special bloodline strengthened his body, and at the level of Astral Deities Worship Stage, it was no longer of much help to him.
As for the other Peak Masters, after their [Gold Lotus of Sun's Body] evolved to an upper rank Earth Realm, it would greatly increase their strength.
If the body refinement technique was still in good condition, then maybe Ancestor Ziyun, who cultivated both body and Qi Refining, would have his body transformed into a top tier Innate Body.
Even if it was only a top level one Innate Body, it would be able to ignore the majority of Ancestor of Astral Deities Worship Stage's killing moves. Only some experts at the late stage or Perfection of Astral Deities Worship Stage could borrow various killing moves to heavily injure a peak level one Innate Body.
The lack of a body refining legacy allowed Ancestor Ziyun to become more and more ordinary as his cultivation level increased.
Ancestor Ziyun, who was once a young monster, had a bit of unwillingness in his heart.
