Chapter 58: Divine Body Realm
Di Baijun couldn’t help but feel somewhat awkward when she heard him saying that for the second time.
He must be asking her for an order, right?
She temporarily put aside her reluctance to talk to the jerk and gave him a cold and haughty reply.
Roar~!
“We can ignore that alternate world for now and let China stand guard over it.
“China has also surprisingly shown us some of their sincerity. Their deduction is right. Based on the spiritual energy density level’s current growth rate, they’ll be able to support Divine Body Realm cultivators in four years at the most.
“In light of China’s capabilities, we don’t need to care about that alternate world during this time.”
Wang Hu nodded. Then, he frowned and asked a question somewhat worriedly.
Roar~!
“What about after that? Can China deal with Divine Body Realm Huis?”
Di Baijun raised her brows, and a hint of contemplation and hesitation flashed across her countenance.
Roar~!
“Given the might of the humans’ nuclear weapons and whatnot, the average Divine Body Realm cultivator shouldn’t pose a big problem to them if they continue to defend a fixed point. At the current spiritual energy growth rate, if nothing goes wrong, the Huis won’t be able to break through China’s defenses within the next 50 years.”
Wang Hu’s heart sank, and he hastily asked another question.
Roar~!
“Baijun, are you saying that… when the spiritual energy density level reaches Third Realm, given its current growth rate, it’ll take only 50 years for the spiritual energy density level to accommodate Divine Body Realm experts that even nuclear weapons cannot kill? On top of that, it’s even under circumstances where China has to continuously defend a fixed point.”
Di Baijun rolled her eyes disdainfully but explained nonetheless.
Roar~!
“No matter how powerful an attack is, it’ll only be effective if it actually hits the target. From what I understand of nuclear weapons, in the case of the average Divine Body Realm cultivator, it’s only when the weapons land a full-frontal hit that they’ll be able to kill experts.
“As for whether China has weapons that are even stronger than that or not, how would I know?”
Wang Hu was astonished. Was the Divine Body Realm that powerful?
Although Silly Girl’s understanding of how powerful nuclear weapons were—including what he also understands—was limited to just what the major countries had shown on the surface and that they definitely had even stronger nuclear weapons, what they knew of a nuclear weapon’s might alone was already extremely, extremely powerful.
Yet, it still needed to land a full-frontal hit to kill the average Divine Body Realm cultivator.
How strong was the average Divine Body Realm cultivator, then?
Roar~!
“Baijun, what’s the average Divine Body Realm cultivator like? How far off am I?”
Upon hearing his question, Di Baijun sneered contemptuously at once. As if she had found an opportunity, she immediately started to brazenly mock him.
Roar~!
“Just by what you can do, you’re still far ways off even from the weakest Divine Body Realm. Do you know why the Third Realm is known as the Divine Body Realm? That’s because the Divine Body Realm is where one forges their Great Dao body and breaks away from their mortal state.”
Wang Hu’s eyes lit up. Break away from one’s mortal state? The Third Realm was where one broke away from their mortal state!
Di Baijun didn’t notice his reaction. As though she had vented a good part of her frustrations, her disdain decreased a little, and she went on.
Roar~!
“Moreover, the difference in strength among Divine Body Realm cultivators of various stages is so big that you can hardly even begin to imagine it. Some are as vastly different as heaven and earth.
“Going from a mortal state to breaking away from it requires a thorough rebirth and remolding of one’s body.
“Most people break through to the Divine Body Realm after just doing it once. Such Divine Body Realm cultivators are but pieces of trash and rotten wood. Their foundation is unstable, they have little potential for growth, and they aren’t strong. They can’t progress by much thereafter either.”
As she spoke, she seemingly cast an unconcerned glance at Wang Hu.
“It’s considered not bad if one does it three times. There’s hope for them in breaking through to the Third Realm.
“If they can do it six times, then there’s hope for them in breaking through to the Fifth Realm. By a stretch, they can also expect to reach an even higher cultivation stage.”
Wang Hu could barely contain himself. The Divine Body Realm’s profoundness had truly exceeded his expectations.
However, Silly Girl was still in the midst of her explanation so he could only continue to listen obediently and keep his questions for later.
“The ‘average Divine Body Realm cultivator’ I’m referring to are those that only manage to remold their bodies fewer than six times while forging their divine bodies. Those that do not advance to even half of the Divine Body Realm path are all average.”
Wang Hu nodded. He had already gotten a rough understanding.
At the same time, he also couldn’t help but secretly diss Silly Girl. To peg that as a benchmark for ‘average’, her expectations were certainly high.
He knew—without even needing to think—that it must be very hard to reach six rebirths, not to mention that they still had to advance to the midpoint of the Divine Body Realm path after that.
Roar~!
“How many times can one remold their bodies at the maximum, Baijun? Do you have to do it during the breakthrough itself? Can you still compensate for it after that?”
A look of impatience surfaced in Di Baijun’s eyes, but she answered him nevertheless.
Roar~!
“In this universe, nine is the biggest number and is seen as the point of completion and perfection. Once one completely awakens their White Tiger bloodline, they’ll be able to remold their bodies at least seven times even at the minimum.
“The forging of one’s divine body can only be done during the breakthrough process, of course. If one wishes to compensate for it after that—without a once-in-a-blue-moon chance encounter, they can just forget about it.
“In my opinion, given your aptitude, I’d say six times is already pretty good in your case.”
Wang Hu ignored her last sentence and asked another serious question.
Roar~!
“Is there any special technique to remolding one’s body, Baijun?”
Roar~!
“Of course. It’s different for every species out there. Unique rebirth techniques have come about thanks to people’s pursuit of better results. We, Tigers, as a supreme All-Heaven Realm species, also have our own, of course.”
Di Baijun’s usual conceit surfaced again.
Wang Hu nodded again but didn’t ask for more.
He believed that, when he needed it—as long as he made up some kind of excuse for Silly Girl to give herself an outlet, she would definitely give it to him.
Roar~!
“Baijun, are vast amounts of energy needed during the breakthrough?”
Wang Hu thought of his situation when he was breaking through to the Transformation Realm.
The rebirth and forging of the divine body clearly needed even more energy.
Di Baijun’s impatient voice rang out again.
Roar~!
“Hmph, of course. Even if the spiritual energy density level reaches a point high enough for Third Realm cultivators to emerge, it’s still completely not enough. One’d best prepare large amounts of food in advance as energy supply before they attempt the breakthrough.
“Alternatively, they can also accumulate it bit by bit over a long period. This way, it’ll reduce parts of the requisite energy during the breakthrough.”
Wang Hu understood now. He wasn’t bothered by the tone of impatience in Silly Girl’s voice at all. He knew very well that she was just pretending and doing it on purpose.
His brows drew together, and he spoke rather seriously.
Roar~!
“In four years, when the spiritual energy density level reaches Divine Body Realm levels, while China’s nuclear weapons can defend against the alternate world; the fallout’s radioactive levels are too high. When that time really comes, this place won’t be suitable for living anymore either, Baijun.”
Di Baijun snorted lightly, her demeanor haughty and bossy.
Roar~!
“The Huis live by themselves. When the time comes and a Divine Body Realm one really dares to come here, I’ll kill it.”
As Wang Hu nodded in agreement, he also understood something—from the looks of it, Silly Girl wasn’t confident of breaking through to the Divine Body Realm during the next four years either.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t say that. Instead, she would definitely say this in an even haughtier and bossier way: ‘Four years is more than enough for me to attain the Divine Body Realm. What can a mere Hui do? How laughable.’
However, given Silly Girl’s situation, it definitely wouldn’t be easy even if she could kill a Divine Body Realm Hui. It was highly likely that both parties would be grievously injured.
When that time comes, if…
Wang Hu thought for a moment and immediately put the matter aside. At the moment, things hadn’t progressed to that stage yet. Nobody knew what would happen when the time came.
Perhaps he would have already broken through to the Divine Body Realm?
If he really couldn’t, at most, he would just give up the dinosaur world and come back again after he broke through instead.
Beside him, Di Baijun mused for a moment. Then, her expression immediately turned incredibly disdainful, and she walked off after giving him a cold snort.
Amused by the sight, Wang Hu didn’t let it bother him. He walked over to a nearby spot and started to quietly digest everything that had happened today.
A short while later, the information that Li Aimin had promised to send arrived.
Wang Hu and Di Baijun looked through it for a while but didn’t say much.
To them, the alternate world was an issue that was still somewhat far away from them. contemporary romance
China was the one that needed to think about how they should deal with the alternate world now, not them.
Elsewhere, Li Aimin and Li Tong boarded the helicopter and left. When they disembarked, Li Aimin smiled and said in a rather relaxed manner, “Interacting with a tiger simply feels so different.”
Beside him, Li Tong also smiled and replied, “Does Elder Li think it’s too simple?”
Li Aimin nodded. Then, maybe because he’d thought of something, he let out a small sigh and said, “Indeed, it’s simple. While he seems cold, haughty, and hard to get along with—in truth, you don’t actually need to think so deeply. It’s very straightforward.
“If only those alternate worlds and other countries could also be like that…”
Li Tong, who didn’t quite know how to respond, could only say seriously, “Things will get better.”
Li Aimin nodded and didn’t say anything about the topic anymore.
After a moment’s pause, he smiled and asked, “Have the funds meant for the animal kings arrived?”
Li Tong immediately replied, “I’ve been informed that they’ll be credited into the accounts at 11 a.m.”
“Alright. I’ll need you to personally make the rounds after that. This is just the early stages after all. Those animal kings are very wary so it’s better to have someone they’re familiar with interact with them,” said Li Aimin.
“Don’t worry, Elder Li. I’ll make sure everything is well-attended,” replied Li Tong resolutely.
“I’m not worried. I’m just wondering if five million yuan is suitable or not?” Li Aimin remarked thoughtfully.
Li Tong pondered about the question for a while before he said, “Five million yuan should be enough for the animal kings to have the first taste of some of what China has to offer.”
Li Aimin thought for a while and said softly, “Here’s hoping the results will be positive. China has too little to offer to the animal kings.”
“It will be positive for sure. No matter what, I believe China currently has a lot of things that the animal kings need. When enough time passes and we reach a stable agreement with them, perhaps they’ll become our real friends,” said Li Tong definitively.
Li Aimin couldn’t help but chuckle. As though he was teasing the other while also alluding to something, he said, “Do you think all of them are like Gungun?”
Li Tong also laughed and said, “I haven’t even told you this yet, Elder Li. Ever since Gungun broke through, it’s been becoming lazier and lazier. It’ll stay still as much as it can the entire day, wishing that people could feed it even when it comes to food.”
“That fellow, seriously.” Li Aimin laughed and ribbed Gungun.
A few seconds later, he toned down his smile and became a bit more serious. He said, “Excluding the Tiger King, his wife, and Gungun; three animal kings have already broken through. Soon, the other two animal kings will also announce theirs.
“It’s very likely that all the other animal species will break through one after another soon. We must proceed with caution.”
Li Tong’s expression sobered up, and he immediately replied, “I understand.”
In the following period, no matter how greatly China and the rest of the world changed, it didn’t have much to do with Wang Hu; neither did it affect him much.
Every day, apart from going online and checking out these changes for a while, all he did was hunt and cultivate. Only a tiny part of his remaining time was dedicated to sleeping while the last of it was used to converse with Silly Girl and play with the two little fellows for a while.
Life seemed to return to what it had been in the past. Wang Hu only had one biggest goal at the moment—attain peak-level Transformation Realm as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, this wasn’t something that he could achieve in a short while. All he could do was advance little by little.
One month later…
Wang Hu suddenly felt like he knew why China had given him five billion yuan now.
They definitely had ulterior motives.
