I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 689 We will eventually become the very thing we once hated.

To date, the maximum burst of power in the Innate Realm is 3124 kilograms.

This record was set by Augustus.

The ultimate burst of power in the Transcendent Realm reached 11 kilograms, a record set by Xuan Yuan Yun Gui.

The difference in their maximum power is nearly forty times.

now.

Nangong Hong set a new record for the highest burst of power in the Guiyi Realm.

217 million kilograms.

The difference between the two is as much as twenty times.

But be aware.

This is only the power of the peak of the first realm of Returning to One.

If one reaches the limit of the Unity Realm, then perhaps a zero should be added to the end.

That is, two hundred times.

It can be said that the improvement becomes more and more exaggerated as you progress.

A moment later, Nangong Hong tested the speed again.

423.61 meters per second.

Compared to the terrifying increase in strength, the speed increase is not that significant.

Of course, this is already extremely exaggerated.

To date, only Nangong Hong has surpassed the speed of sound.

Apart from Ji Xuan and Bai Zhengyu, no one else exceeded 300 meters per second.

First, the total amount of energy source is insufficient.

Secondly, the strength is insufficient to support the load caused by such high-speed movement.

Nangong Hong's speed of 413.61 meters per second seems to be less than 100 meters faster than the speed of sound.

But the gap between them is as vast as an insurmountable chasm.

The increase in speed is not linear.

The closer we get to the physical limits, the more significant the leap in physical strength, energy output, and mental coordination required to achieve each meter or second of improvement.

Once a person in the Ordinary Unity Realm reaches a certain speed, their physical body will feel noticeable stagnation and pressure.

In this situation, no matter how strong your movement skills are, it's meaningless.

Bai Zhengyu's movement skills are already extremely strong, almost comparable to Ji Xuan's.

However, in speed tests, his limit was stuck at 331 meters per second, and he was unable to break the speed of sound barrier.

This is not because his movement skills are lacking, but because his physical strength and energy output efficiency can no longer support a faster speed.

Forcing a breakthrough will only lead to muscle tears and meridian damage.

The result can be imagined.

"Dean, the Origin Ancestor has sent back a message."

at this time.

A figure quickly walked in from outside.

The visitor was one of the eighteen elders.

Fang Yuanhang.

Upon learning of Nangong Hong's breakthrough and the condensation of his energy meridians, Ji Xuan immediately instructed him to inform Xia Yuan of the news.

After all, none of them understood this completely new system, so they could only ask Xia Yuan for advice.

of course.

They were also unsure whether the progenitor knew.

After all, the Origin Ancestor had never mentioned this aspect of cultivation before.

So everyone eventually tested it themselves, and now everyone has a clearer understanding of the energy channels that Nangong Hong talked about.

"What did the Origin Ancestor say!"

However, since the Origin Ancestor had already sent back a message, Ji Xuan and the others naturally wanted to hear it as well.

"According to Yuan Zu, the energy meridian condensed by Vice Dean Nangong is called Qiaogong."

"The orifice?"

Fang Yuanhang nodded.

"The so-called 'Qiaogong' is an energy core formed in the human body after the corresponding acupoints are connected."

"It can not only greatly enhance the abilities of extraordinary individuals in a certain aspect, but more importantly, awakening the Qi Palace can fundamentally strengthen our life essence and raise our potential limit!"

"The acupoint that Vice Dean Nangong awakened is called the Power Source Acupoint."

"It can greatly enhance physical strength."

"and many more."

Just then, Bai Zhengyu interrupted:

"What did you say? Strengthen the life essence and increase the potential limit!"

They already knew about the enhancement of physical strength mentioned later.

But what does it mean to strengthen the essence of life and raise the upper limit of potential?
"Correct."

Fang Yuanhang nodded slightly, a hint of heat flashing in his eyes.

"According to the Origin Ancestor, the greatest benefit of awakening the Aperture Palace is not the increase in physical strength, but its enhancement of the origin of life."

"The more acupoints that awaken in the Unity Realm, the higher the upper limit and potential will be in the future."

"If one cannot awaken the Aperture Palace, it is very likely that one will not even be able to break through to the True Spirit Realm."

"what?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Without awakening the Qi Palace, how could one be unable to break through to the True Spirit Realm?

Originally, everyone believed that there were no limitations to the advancement of one's level of life.

As long as you continue to cultivate step by step, you will eventually break through to a higher realm.

After all, they have been cultivating from the Body Tempering Realm to now and have never heard of any bottlenecks.

It's simply a matter of how fast or slow one can cultivate.

So this has basically become their consensus.

But things have changed now!
Start from the Realm of Unity.

To go further, you must awaken enough of the acupoints.

Otherwise, even if one cultivates for thousands or tens of thousands of years, one will not be able to make progress.

Because the upper limit is fixed.

"Isn't this normal?"

Wei Lingjun pursed his lips, looking completely unsurprised, and said:

"Do you really think everyone can cultivate indefinitely?"

"Moreover, there are bottlenecks in the process of moving from physical training to innate, from innate to mortal transformation, and even from mortal transformation to unity." "It's just that the previous bottlenecks were more about the accumulation and transformation of energy. Although it was difficult, there were always clues to follow. With perseverance and the accumulation of resources, there will always be a breakthrough."

"In addition, every major breakthrough you made before was actually accompanied by huge risks and a considerable failure rate. It was only because you were so talented and had abundant resources that it seemed to go very smoothly."

Unlike others, Wei Lingjun's understanding of ordinary extraordinary individuals far surpasses that of Nangong Hong, Ji Xuan, and others.

He has genuinely interacted with many ordinary people.

Ordinary people and Nangong Hong and his group are from completely different worlds.

Break through the barriers of innate brain tempering, awakening, and condensing the divine soul.

These can all be considered bottlenecks, and quite a few people have actually failed because of them.

However, from the perspective of people like Nangong Hong, they simply cannot see it.

To put it bluntly, it's lonely at the top.

Wei Lingjun, however, was different; he had come into contact with many extraordinary individuals.

This includes both those who have just become extraordinary beings and those who have reached the pinnacle of extraordinary beings, such as those in the Body Tempering Realm.

Therefore, Wei Lingjun did not actually feel that the Unity Realm was any different.

It's just that it's more difficult.

Of course, that's not entirely accurate.

The bottlenecks before reaching the Unity Realm can only be attributed to external factors.

Breaking through to the True Spirit Realm is limited by the origin of life.

Before reaching the state of unity, everyone starts from the same point; there is no difference in the origin of life for each person.

The difference is nothing more than external factors such as comprehension.

But the realm of returning to oneness is different.

Awakening the Acupoint Palace can raise the upper limit of the life essence.

In other words, it changed from an external factor to an internal factor.

The future achievements of Nangong Hong and others will truly begin to emerge from here.

The more acupoints are awakened, the higher the potential will be in the future.

"Did the ancestor say how many orifices there are in the human body?"

Fang Yuanhang shook his head.

"I didn't say it."

"According to the ancestor, the number of acupoints that can be awakened varies from person to person."

"If you reach the limit, then naturally you can't awaken any more!"

"However, the Origin Ancestor mentioned at the end that we should at least awaken seven or eight acupoints."

"Seven or eight acupoints?"

Everyone was stunned.

It should be noted that Nangong Hong had only awakened one aperture palace, yet his strength had already increased so much.

If seven or eight could be awakened, how exaggerated would that be?
Bai Zhengyu couldn't help but complain:

"Wouldn't the Origin Ancestor hold us to his own standards?"

Although we don't know how difficult it is to awaken the Qi Palace, we can tell from Nangong Hong's improvement in strength.

Awakening the Qi Palace is definitely not simple.

Not to mention awakening seven or eight acupoints!
Mills shook his head and said:
“Since the Origin Ancestor mentioned seven or eight, he must have awakened at least nine more.”

Nine orifices!

Based on the terrifying boost brought about by Nangong Hong awakening one "Power Source Aperture Palace", what would nine aperture palaces mean?
It’s unimaginable!
Nangong Hong glanced at it and said calmly:
"Forty years ago, when the Ancestor led us on the path to the extraordinary, he hoped that someone could surpass him."

"If you don't even dare to think about it, then what's the point of cultivating?"

"So many resources are not meant to be used to cultivate useless people."

"..."

have to.

Again!
However, Nangong Hong's words touched some people.

When they first embarked on the path to extraordinary achievements, everyone had a goal in mind.

That is to become a pioneer of the human race in the extraordinary era, to constantly explore the upper limit of the path to transcendence, and even to surpass the Origin Ancestor.

But as time goes by, almost everyone has forgotten their original goal.

Let alone surpassing the original ancestor.

Even the path to transcendence is no longer something many people truly care about!
Most of them only want to follow the path that others have taken.

After all, opening up the path to the extraordinary is extremely dangerous, and even Nangong Hong has almost lost his life several times.

Who else dares to say they are comparable to Nangong Hong?
Of course, most importantly, it makes no difference whether they are the ones paving the way or not.

It's simply a matter of how fast or slow one cultivates, and who gets there first.

As always.

Although Nangong Hong is stronger, his strength is limited compared to others at the same level, and he is far from being devastating.

Even some of the top geniuses who followed surpassed Nangong Hong's original strength.

In other words, for highly talented people, whether I copy homework or write it myself, the result is the same.

In this situation, why take such a huge risk to pave the way forward?

So far, there are very few people who are truly thinking about blazing a trail.

People like Nangong Hong, who knowingly face mortal danger yet still move forward without hesitation, are extremely rare.

With his talent, he could easily sit back and wait to copy others' work.

But Nangong Hong chose the most difficult and dangerous path.

Be the one who "does the homework"!
This is why people almost never refute Nangong Hong's sarcasm.

Strength is only one aspect.

More importantly, Nangong Hong's contributions to the path of the extraordinary are truly immense!
Whether it was the opening of martial arts, the cultivation path of the Unity Realm, or the current Aperture Palace, all of these were achieved at the cost of his life.

Nangong's usual pretentiousness is genuine.

But it cannot be denied that everyone on the path to extraordinary achievements owes a debt of gratitude to Nangong Hong.

The stronger a force is, the more this is true.

Sometimes, the reason they are unwilling to listen to Nangong Hong is that...

His harsh words are only one aspect.

Or perhaps it's a minor reason; over the years, others have long since gotten used to it!
Most importantly, Nangong Hong's words are sometimes like a mirror.

The speaker may just be saying it casually, but the listener sees themselves reflected in it.

Just like now.

Some people are no longer willing, or even afraid, to face this mirror.

As the saying goes.

We will eventually become the very thing we once hated.
