Chu Yi took a deep breath, and the surging aura around him rapidly receded like a tide.
The golden halos lingering on his body gradually converged inward, eventually disappearing completely, and he returned to his usual appearance.
However, if one observed carefully, they would notice stars swirling deep within his eyes, and an indescribable, unique rhythm in his every movement.
Only then did Chu An and Chu Yue dare to approach, their eyes filled with shock and curiosity.
“Big Brother, you just…” Chu Yue’s slender fingers trembled slightly, hovering in mid-air, seemingly wanting to touch Chu Yi’s sleeve, yet not daring to truly let them fall, as if the brother before her was no longer the familiar Beggar Clan youth, but some sacred existence not to be profaned.
Seeing this, Chu Yi smiled gently, actively reaching out to hold her fingertips, and soothed, “It’s nothing, I just Broke through, and my aura hasn’t fully settled yet.”
Chu An’s Adam’s apple bobbed, his voice sounding dry: “Is this… a Martial Artist?”
Chu Yi shook his head, his gaze as deep as an abyss: “No, I have stepped into the Innate Realm.”
“Innate Realm?!”
Chu An and Chu Yue’s pupils contracted sharply, their breathing almost stopping.
If it were in the past, they might have had no concept of the “Innate Realm,” but now, after receiving the world information Chu Yi had given them, they understood more clearly than anyone else—the Innate Realm was the first threshold of the Transcendent Great Realm!
Once one stepped into this Realm, the essence of life would completely transform, Lifespan would increase dramatically to three hundred years, True Qi within the body would be inexhaustible, and every movement could stir the power of heaven and earth, a world of difference from Mortals!
Seeing the two in shock and lost in thought, Chu Yi gently released a trace of his aura.
Boom—!
In an instant, an invisible pressure descended as if the sky was collapsing, and Chu An and Chu Yue felt their hearts suddenly clench, their legs uncontrollably weakening, as if they were not facing a person, but a majestic divine mountain, making them instinctively want to prostrate themselves.
Chu Yi immediately reined in his aura, and only then did the two breathe a sigh of relief, cold sweat beading on their foreheads, and the clothes on their backs completely soaked.
“This is the gap between the Transcendent and Mortals.”
Chu Yi said softly, his tone calm, yet carrying a certain captivating charm,
“However, you will soon be able to embark on this Dao as well.” He waved his hand, and in his palm, two crystalline orbs of light materialized out of thin air.
Inside the orbs, countless profound runes flowed endlessly, and the sound of the Great Dao faintly echoed, as if containing the ultimate truths of heaven and earth.
“This is a Cultivation Technique I deduced based on the ‘Beggar Clan Foundation Establishment Manual,’ leading directly to the Innate Realm.” Chu Yi’s voice was exceptionally clear in the morning breeze, “It not only allows ordinary people to step into the Martial Dao, but also subtly improves Aptitude, ultimately achieving a Dao-proximate body.”
The two light orbs suspended in his palm emitted a soft glow, “I have named it—‘The Dao Sutra’.”
Chu An and Chu Yue exchanged glances, their eyes showing surprise, but no longer as shocked as they were initially.
Ever since Big Brother Broke through to the Innate Realm, they had long grown accustomed to it—if he could easily step into the legendary Transcendent Realm, what was deducing a Cultivation Technique?
“First, use this method to get started and quickly become a Martial Artist.”
Chu Yi continued, “When the Opportunity is ripe, I will tailor the most suitable Cultivation Technique for you.”
The two nodded without hesitation.
For them, being able to step into the Martial Artist Realm was already a great Opportunity; why would they care if the Cultivation Technique was perfectly suited?
Taking the light orbs, the brother and sister sat cross-legged.
The moment the light orbs touched their skin, they transformed into specks of starlight and merged into their glabella.
Chu Yi silently thought, “Consume yi points to help them comprehend ‘The Dao Sutra’.”
【-2 yi points】
【Remaining yi points: 293】
In an instant, their tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and expressions of sudden enlightenment appeared on their faces.
Their breathing became long and rhythmic, and a subtle Qi flow circulated around their bodies.
After a long time, the two opened their eyes one after another, brilliant light flashing within them. Chu Yue smacked her lips, sighing with lingering satisfaction, “So the Martial Dao… is actually this profound.”
“Alright, since you have comprehended the Cultivation Technique, prepare for your Breakthrough!”
Chu Yi’s gaze was like a torch, his voice steady and powerful.
Hearing this, the two immediately sat up straight, adopting the five-hearts-to-heaven posture, their expressions focused and solemn.
Chu Yi silently thought, “List the yi points required for Breakthrough from Refining Skin Realm to Innate Realm.”
In an instant, lines of golden text appeared before his eyes:
【Refining Skin Realm:
Early Stage: 5 yi points,
Great Perfection: 20 yi points,
Extreme Realm · Bronze Skin: 25 yi points】
【Flesh Refinement Realm:
Early Stage: 35 yi points
Great Perfection: 65 yi points
Extreme Realm · Iron Flesh: 75 yi points】
【Refining Tendon Realm
Early Stage: 85 yi points
Great Perfection: 115 yi points
Extreme Realm · Dragon Tendon: 125 yi points】
【Refining Bone Realm
Early Stage: 135 yi points
Great Perfection: 165 yi points
Extreme Realm · Jade Bone: 175 yi points】
【Refining Marrow Realm

Great Perfection: 215 yi points
Extreme Realm · Quicksilver Blood: 225 yi points】
【Blood Exchange Realm
Early Stage: 235 yi points
Great Perfection: 265 yi points
Extreme Realm · Nirvana: 285 yi points】
【Breakthrough to Innate Realm: Requires 375 yi points】
Chu Yi quickly scanned these data, his gaze lingering on the remaining yi points 【293】 for a moment.
“It seems I can only help them advance to the Refining Tendon Realm for now.” He mused, “However, every Realm must reach the Extreme Realm!”
Although the Great Perfection Realm was enough to Breakthrough to the next Realm, the Extreme Realm was the true Domain of a Prodigy.
As Chu Yi’s family, the two were destined to reach the pinnacle and achieve Immortal Ascension in the future; how could they fall behind others at the starting point?
“Consume yi points to help them Breakthrough to the Refining Tendon Realm; every Realm must reach the Extreme Realm!”
Chu Yi commanded in his mind.
As the command was issued, a mysterious power began to circulate around the two.
Their skin gradually took on a metallic luster, their muscles bulged like iron blocks, and a faint sound of Dragon roars came from their meridians.
Each Realm’s Breakthrough was accompanied by a rebirth-like transformation, and the achievement of the Extreme Realm made their Foundation terrifyingly solid.
The aura around the two began to strengthen: 【Refining Skin Realm Early Stage - Refining Skin Realm Great Perfection… Refining Flesh Realm Early Stage, Refining Flesh Extreme Realm → Refining Tendon Realm Early Stage → Refining Tendon Realm Great Perfection → Refining Tendon Realm Extreme Realm, with the final Realm stabilized at Refining Tendon Realm Extreme Realm · Dragon Tendon Realm.
At this moment, Chu Yi looked at the scene of the two Breaking through, his thoughts drifting, recalling the process of a Martial Artist gradually Breaking through from the Refining Skin Realm to the Innate Realm:
Refining Skin Realm (Bronze Skin): Cultivators need to immerse their bodies in special medicinal baths, combined with daily pounding and training, to make their skin as tough as bronze, capable of withstanding blades and swords.
Flesh Refinement Realm (Iron Flesh): Cultivators need to train their muscles to intertwine like steel wires, with explosive power reaching a thousand jin.
Refining Tendon Realm (Dragon Tendon): When Cultivated to the Refining Tendon Realm, the tendons stretch and contract like taut bowstrings, with a qualitative leap in both flexibility and explosive power.
Refining Bone Realm (Jade Bone): The bones are Cultivated until they are translucent like Colored Glaze, and Martial Dao True Fire will be born within the bone marrow, laying a solid Foundation for subsequent Cultivation.
Refining Marrow Realm (Quicksilver Blood): The bone marrow produces blood as thick as quicksilver, and the movement of Qi and blood roars like thunder, shaking all directions.
Blood Exchange Realm (Nirvana): The entire body’s blood undergoes nine transformations, shedding Mortal blood to achieve the Innate Dao Body. To Breakthrough this Realm, one must endure the “Blood Incineration Tribulation,” where the entire body’s blood is recombined amidst high-temperature evaporation.
And when Breaking through to the Transcendent Fifth Stage Innate Realm, Cultivators need to open the Heaven and Earth Bridge, transforming the True Qi within their bodies into liquid True Essence, thereby stepping into a broader world of Cultivation…
As the last trace of energy merged into their bodies, the two simultaneously opened their eyes, brilliant light shining within them.
