"Senior has mastered the Myriad Swords Return to One, and I am seeking an opponent for a friendly spar. May I ask, Senior…?" Fang Chen looked at Wuming and spoke with a smile.
The nameless one is incredibly powerful; if not him, who else should we spar with?
"No...no..."
Upon hearing this, Wuming waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Sect Master Fang is a promising young man; his strength and realm have far surpassed mine. I will not embarrass myself further."
“Senior, you are a grandmaster in the martial arts world. I have many questions about the path of martial arts and would like to ask you for guidance.” Seeing that Wuming refused, Fang Chen did not press the matter.
"Oh?"
Wuming smiled slightly. "What doubts does Sect Leader Fang have? I have lived for decades; whatever I know, I will surely tell you!"
"I want to know the realms of martial arts!"
Fang Chen's gaze sharpened, and he slowly spoke.
"Martial arts realm?"
The nameless man pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Since Sect Master Fang has asked, I will naturally answer to the best of my knowledge. Martial arts realms are divided into acquired and innate levels."
"The Acquired Realm is divided into nine levels. A martial artist who breaks through to the third level is a first-rate expert, one who breaks through to the sixth level is a top-tier expert, and one who breaks through to the ninth level is a grandmaster."
"Breaking through the peak of the ninth level of the Acquired Realm means reaching the Grandmaster Realm, which is equivalent to the early stage of the Innate Realm!"
"The innate state is also divided into nine levels, also known as the early innate stage, the middle innate stage, and the late innate stage, with each stage corresponding to three levels."
"Sect Master Fang, if I'm not mistaken, your strength should be at the peak of the Innate Realm!" Wuming said after thinking for a moment.
"In your opinion, senior, what realm should Wu Wudi, or Senior Xiao Sanxiao, be at?" Fang Chen nodded and asked.
"Wu Wudi should be slightly weaker than the sect leader's current cultivation level, at the ninth level of the Innate Realm. As for Xiao Sanxiao, he was at the peak of the Innate Realm just like you 150 years ago!"
"Of course, this is just my personal opinion; the actual figure could be even higher, after all, I haven't fought them," Wuming said slowly.
"Senior, I've searched the martial world for ten years, but I haven't seen a trace of them. Could it be that they shattered the void and are no longer in this world?" Fang Chen asked hurriedly, a thought flashing through his mind.
"Shattering the void?"
Upon hearing Fang Chen mention the words "shattering the void," Wuming's eyes flashed with a sharp light. "Perhaps, Senior Xiao Sanxiao. I witnessed it once fifteen years ago."
"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, senior!"
Fang Chen sincerely thanked Wuming.

Boom!
A deafening explosion reverberated in all directions.
Fang Chen stood on the beach, gazing at the towering waves, his eyes deep and thoughtful.
"I've mastered the Meteor Dragon Fist, but I have no one to spar with..."
"If I were to consume another Dragon Essence at the peak of the Innate Realm, could I break through to above the Innate Realm?" Fang Chen's eyes flashed with this thought, and he immediately notified Number One to arrange for protection.
Time passes.
One month later.
On the vast sea beside the base, a robust figure floated on the surface, the water surging and turbulent.
On the shore, Yaoyue, Luo Xian, Wuming, Bu Jingyun, and Nie Feng stood tall, along with Huang Ying, Huai Mie, and countless other martial arts masters who had all come to watch.
The sky was covered with dark clouds!
Dozens of lightning bolts, each as thick as a chopstick, crackled and popped!
It stretched from sky to earth, utterly terrifying.
This scene has been repeating itself for three days now!
"Is this the realm beyond the Innate Realm?" Fang Chen floated in the sky, feeling his strength surge once again. Looking at the world now, everything had become much clearer.
Fang Chen looked up at the sky. Since his seclusion, at the moment of his breakthrough, the world had changed color!
The rain poured down, accompanied by flashes of lightning.
Dark clouds loomed overhead, making it seem as if Fang Chen no longer belonged in this world!
"What happened?"
Fang Chen circulated the Starry Sky Flowing Cloud Technique, feeling his energy flowing smoothly throughout his body, and his body gradually becoming lighter and more agile.
My whole body seemed to be dreaming of flying into the sky!
"Ah Chen!"
On the shore below, Yaoyue, who had noticed this strange scene, suddenly changed color and cried out loudly.
"Sect Master Fang's strength is too great! He can actually levitate!"
"Heavens! What's wrong with Sect Master Fang?"
"No, I read in an ancient book that this is a sign of ascension!"
