Chapter 16: The Perfect World Cultivation System Exposed, The Confidence of the Five Great God Kings!
Others might not feel it so clearly, but for him, someone who possessed a phoenix-type martial soul, his perception of such bird-type creatures was extraordinarily sharp.
The phoenix aura contained within that single piece of Golden Winged Peng meat far surpassed the bird-type soul beasts he had encountered in the Star Dou Forest by countless times, even exceeding his own aura by an unimaginable margin.
And yet, such a powerful existence had actually been treated as nothing more than a snack.
With a loud wail, the fatty threw away the half-eaten chicken drumstick in his hand and burst into tears on the spot.
"That is a Golden Winged Peng, a close relative of the phoenix! How could it only be a snack in that world?"
"I... I'm living a life worse than someone else's pet. Boss Dai, stop crying; I'll cry with you too, wuuu!"
For a moment, an extremely dramatic scene unfolded on the training ground of Shrek Academy.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were hugging their heads and crying loudly together.
One possessed a tiger martial soul, the other a phoenix martial soul.
Yet, in that mysterious Perfect World, one had become a pet, while the other had become food for that pet.
At that moment, the pride of the Shrek Seven Devils, or rather, the dignity of all soul masters possessing White Tiger, dragon, and phoenix-type martial souls, was trampled mercilessly beneath someone's feet, even spat upon with disdain.
And the one responsible for all of this was the Immortal Lord Jiang Chen, who had never once revealed himself.
Just what kind of terrifying existence was he?
...
Primordial Immortal Court, Spirit Beast Garden.
A gentle breeze drifted through the garden, carrying with it the moist aura of primordial spiritual mist as it swayed the countless rare flowers and exotic herbs growing throughout the grounds.
Zhu Zhuqing held the priceless True Dragon tendon in her hand, carefully playing with the ancient White Tiger cub. Her body trembled uncontrollably the entire time.
This was already the result after most of the dragon tendon's blood vitality and energy had been devoured by the little White Tiger, with the nanny having intervened beforehand.
Otherwise, merely holding the tendon of that primordial flood dragon would have caused Zhu Zhuqing's body to explode and die instantly.
At this moment, looking at the divine beast that had just shaken the heavens and earth earlier, now rolling on the ground like an ordinary large cat, Zhu Zhuqing still found it difficult to calm her emotions.
"Hu..."
She wiped the fine sweat from her forehead. Although eating the spiritual crystal rice had greatly improved her physical constitution, moving around within this Immortal Court, where the spiritual pressure was terrifyingly dense, still left her feeling waves of exhaustion.
"Tired?"
At that moment, the nanny sitting on a nearby bluestone seemed to have noticed something. Holding a cup of tea that radiated seven-colored glowing light, she asked calmly.
"Yes, Nanny."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing did not dare hide the truth. She quickly bowed respectfully, and after hesitating for a moment as if recalling something, she gritted her teeth before speaking.
"Zhuqing dares to ask, Nanny..."
"How exactly are the cultivation realms of this world divided?"
"Why do I feel that the soul power I once took pride in cannot even withstand the pressure of the air here?"
This question was not only what Zhu Zhuqing wanted to ask.
It was also the question that everyone on the other side of the sky screen, across the entire Douluo Continent, and even the gods of the God Realm, most desperately wanted answered.
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. They were eager to know exactly where they stood in comparison to this higher-dimensional world.
So, after Zhu Zhuqing asked the question, the people of the Douluo world all held their breath and focused their attention on the scene, not even daring to breathe loudly.
On the other side, after hearing Zhu Zhuqing's confusion, the nanny first took a sip of the tea in her cup. Only then did she slowly place the cup down, her gaze drifting toward the vast and boundless sea of clouds in the distance as she explained in a distant, leisurely tone.
"Since you have become a candidate, it is not a problem to tell you."
"The cultivation path of this world begins with the physical body."
"The first realm is called the Blood Transformation Realm."
"One must mobilize the blood essence of the entire body until it roars like thunder, refining bone text and stimulating divine radiance within the blood itself, thereby tempering the body and resonating with heaven and earth."
"Ordinary human geniuses or powerful tribal descendants, upon reaching the peak of the Blood Transformation Realm, can achieve fifty to sixty thousand jin of strength with a single arm. Some exceptional individuals can even reach seventy to eighty thousand jin."
"Those capable of reaching eighty to ninety thousand jin are already extremely rare peerless geniuses. As for those who reach the extreme limit of this realm, a casual swing of a single arm can possess 108,000 jin of divine strength!"

The moment these words were spoken, the people of Douluo Continent who had been quietly gathering intelligence felt their scalps go numb, their minds buzzing loudly.
"H-how much?!"
At Shrek Academy, Tang San, who had been about to drink tea, saw the nanny speaking on the live projection of the light screen. His hand trembled, and he failed to hold the cup steady. The tea spilled directly onto his crotch, scalding him so badly that he bared his teeth in pain.
"One hundred and eight thousand jin?!"
"And that's with just one arm?!"
At this moment, it was not just other soul masters whose worldviews were collapsing. Even Tang San himself felt as though everything he believed in was crumbling.
His eyes were fixed tightly on the light screen as he swallowed hard.
"And this is only the first realm?"
Even with the support of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, his current strength was only around a hundred jin at most, maybe a few hundred jin if pushed to the limit.
Even Tai Tan, the power attack system soul master famous for his strength, an eighty-plus-ranked Soul Douluo, probably could not match that level of pure physical power.
In other words, a rookie who had just stepped onto the cultivation path in that world could punch a Titled Douluo of the Douluo Continent into minced meat with a single blow?
Thinking of this, Tang San's expression dimmed slightly as he shook his head, suddenly feeling as though life had lost all hope.
But soon, it seemed as if Tang San had thought of something. His gaze suddenly sharpened as he stared at the light screen again, a flash of ruthlessness passing through his eyes before quickly returning to calm.
"How is this possible..."
Beside him, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang was even more frightened. He had already collapsed onto the ground, yet did not even notice the notes scattered from his hands.
"Our Titled Douluo cannot even reach the entry threshold of their world?"
"Then what are we cultivating for? What god are we even trying to become?"
"N-no, this must be an exaggeration. It has to be!"
However, on the live broadcast of the light screen, the nanny's voice continued. Every pause in her speech felt like salt being rubbed into everyone's wounds.
"After the Blood Transformation Realm comes the Cave Heaven Realm. One opens Cave Heavens, seizing the fortune of heaven and earth, drawing endless divine power."
"After that come the Spirit Transformation Realm, Inscription Realm, and Formation Realm..."
"In the Formation Realm, one may be called a king or marquis, ruling over a territory. With a single hand, they can destroy an entire nation."
"Above the Formation Realm is the Venerable Realm."
"Above the Venerable Realm, one ignites divine fire to enter the Divine Fire Realm."
As she spoke, the nanny glanced up at the little White Tiger before her. Seeing that it was fine, she continued speaking.
"Beyond that are the True God Realm, the Holy Sacrifice Realm, and the Heavenly God Realm."
"Upon reaching the Heavenly God Realm, one can regenerate from a single drop of blood. Even after death, the pressure left behind can remain for ten thousand years without fading. Plucking stars and grasping the moon is nothing more than a trivial matter."
When she spoke of plucking stars and grasping the moon, the nanny's tone was calm, as though she were simply talking about eating or drinking water.
But for the people of Douluo Continent, those four words were nothing less than a myth among myths.
—
Douluo God Realm, Committee Hall.
At this moment, the five supreme God Kings had gathered together.
The Asura God, the God of Destruction, the Goddess of Life, the God of Evil, and the Goddess of Kindness.
