"As everyone knows, when a cultivator's body and soul reach the peak of the Body Tempering stage, they can draw upon the spirit energy of heaven and earth to attempt to open their life seas. However, there are differences between strong and weak cultivators in the Life Sea. They are all referred to as the fifth rank Life Sea. "

Ye Hao listened attentively, waiting for the next part.

"Cultivators in the world know the most, and the ones that open the most are the most ordinary mortal life seas; above the mortal rank are the Xuan grade; those that can open up this stage of the Life Sea, their talent is already considered to be not bad, because the prerequisite to opening the Xuan grade Life Sea is that the cultivator's physique must break through the shackles of the human body; above the Xuan grade is the Earth rank, and those that can open up the Life Sea are called peerless heaven's pride; above the Earth rank, there is also the Heaven rank, this stage …" Such a person can be said to be the pride and joy of a thousand years. Whenever someone like him appears, all the major powers will put forth all their resources and raise him up to be their successor. "

Ye Hao's mouth was agape, and his face was full of unconcealable shock. This was the first time he had ever heard of the ranking system of the Life Sea. The shock in his heart was extremely great.

"Uncle Shen, why are there only four?" It was only after the initial shock that he realized that the so-called fifth grade Life Sea didn't seem to be complete.

Hearing that, Shen Jiuyou was silent for a long time, before sighing slowly, "The last type of life sea, is meaningless for the people of the world to know, because in order to open up that first tier life sea, other than requiring peerless talent, the most important thing is … There must be a transcendent saint blood flowing through the veins. This kind of innate heritage, forget about the Eastern Wastelands, there are only a few in the entire world. No one can force it. "

"Bloodline?" Ye Hao's shocked expression was filled with doubt. At the same time, he was also a little curious, "Uncle Shen, just what is this Life Sea?"

"It's fine if I tell you, but it's also good to be more careful. If you meet a cultivator like him in the future, remember to never provoke him." Shen Jiuyou sighed, his voice was extremely heavy, "The final type of Life Sea, is called - Zhi Zun."

The moment Shen Jiuyou's words resounded in his mind, Ye Hao could even faintly hear the sound of thunder rumbling in the sky of the secret realm.

"Venerable One?"

Ye Hao's black pupils contracted. His face was a little stiff. Even the surrounding air seemed to have frozen down at this moment.

His heart was not at peace, because this was not the first time he had heard of this title.

Back when they had entered the Graybead space, the evil spirit sealed on the soul had subconsciously mentioned the words Supreme Artifact.

If what the evil spirit said was true, then the mysterious grey pearl in his body should be even more powerful than the Supreme Equipment … The origin of this grey pearl was unimaginably great.

"Those who can open up the Sovereign's Mandate have the demeanor of a Martial Saint. As long as they don't die prematurely, they are destined to be a part of the universe." Shen Jiuyou's voice was filled with wistfulness and yearning.

"Uncle Shen, Zhi Zun … What kind of existence is it? " Ye Hao said with a dry mouth.

"It's the Great Emperor, as well as the Ancient Emperor. It's also a taboo." Shen Jiu sighed quietly.

"Forbidden?"

"Do you know why the Great Yan Empire only dared to claim themselves as king and not as emperor?" Shen Jiuyou laughed sinisterly.

Ye Hao shook his head with a serious expression. He was even more confused.

"Because countless years ago, there was a taboo expert who shook the heavens and overshadowed the earth. He founded the Unparalleled Empire, gave out orders, and set down the realm of Zhi Zun. The word 'Emperor' was used by those who had not stepped into the Martial Saint realm."

Hearing this, Ye Hao was completely speechless. His dull face was filled with disbelief and shock.

With just a single word, he was able to determine the realm of Zhi Zun?

What kind of terrifying existence was this?

Ye Hao was a bit confused. Such a domineering, forbidden character was far beyond his imagination.

"Now... You should know just how great of an opportunity it is to refine that one drop of Forbidden Blood, right? " Shen Jiuyou lamented.

Ye Hao nodded his head in shock. However, when he recalled the Evil Spirit's subconscious words, a look of hesitation appeared in his eyes. He had a nagging feeling that something was amiss.

If that drop of mysterious blood essence was a Supreme Being's blood essence, why would the mysterious bead in his body surpass a Supreme Being Artifact?

Or maybe … Was it the evil spirit speaking nonsense?

Thinking about the evil spirits' cunning plans, Ye Hao couldn't figure it out.

And the prophecy of the Sin Blood Brand and the shackles of the soul …

The more he thought about it, the more confused Ye Hao became. It was as if his mind was shrouded in a layer of fog and he couldn't come up with any clues.

In the end, he sighed and stopped thinking about it.

Ye Hao understood that the most important thing right now was to improve his own strength.

Because regardless of whether they were inferior or inferior, their strength … They were both his greatest reliance and premise.

"Uncle Shen, if the power of the body can break through 20,000 jin, what kind of life sea can it create?" Ye Hao asked with a look of anticipation.

"This... "It's hard to say." Shen Jiuyou muttered to himself for a moment, "There are too many uncertainties in establishing a life sea, but one thing is certain. The stronger one's physical body is, the higher the grade of the life sea one opens. The direct descendants of those major powers will be suppressed for many years at the first level of Body Tempering, unwilling to open their life seas.

"If the strength of your body can really break through the twenty thousand jin barrier, maybe... There might be a chance to open up a Heaven Grade Life Sea. Of course, the prerequisite is that you can succeed in opening up your Life Sea. After all, the stronger your physical body is, the more difficult it is to open up your Life Sea.

Ye Hao nodded and immediately walked outside. Now that he knew the division of fifth grade Life Sea, he would naturally try his best to strengthen his body and break the twenty thousand jin limit.

Furthermore, hunting Flame Beasts to obtain Flame Essences to cultivate the Heaven Flame Body Refinement Art was currently his only path of body tempering.

Just like that, Ye Hao began to hunt fire beasts with all his might in the Flame Spirit World. He stayed there for three days.

"..."

At this moment, in the Liu Alliance area of the Tianxuan Academy.

A stone door that had been tightly shut for two months slowly opened.

A young man walked out. He wasn't tall, but he looked rather thin. He wore a large gray robe, and the sockets of his eyes were sunken in. He was so skinny that he looked like a skeleton stuck to human skin, giving off a sinister feeling.

"Welcome out, senior brother Zhou!"

The instant this skinny young man walked out of the cave, the dozens of Liu Alliance members outside all bowed with incomparably respectful expressions.

The weakest among the Liu Alliance members was at the peak of the complete stage of the Body Tempering stage, while the strongest had the strength of a late stage Life Sea Realm martial practitioner.

However, even this group of heaven's pride level experts had nothing but respect and submission in their eyes when facing this skinny youth.

The youth did not pay attention to the crowd. Instead, he narrowed his eyes as if he was listening to something.

A moment later, his savage, ear-piercing voice slowly rang out.

"Where is that Ye Hao guy?"

"Senior-apprentice Brother Zhou, he is currently in the Flame Spirit World!"

The disciple bowed his head and cupped his fists as he replied respectfully. However, he didn't hear a response for a long time, so he carefully raised his head. Only then did he discover that the person in front of the cave had long since disappeared.

"Hehe, I feel some sympathy for that kid called Ye Hao now."

"Alliance Head, it's true. Against a trash that hasn't even opened his life sea, why bother trying to get senior brother Zhou to help?"

"Senior-apprentice Brother Zhou was able to battle a late stage Life Sea martial artist while he was only at the middle stage of Life Sea. Now that he has made a breakthrough in his cultivation, it can be said that his promotion to the inner courtyard is certain!"

The Liu Alliance members, even those at the late Life Sea realm, were filled with fire and fear when they talked about the skinny young man who shared the same cultivation level as them.

Because the former had already been recognized by the entire Tianxuan Academy when he was at the middle stage of the Life Sea Realm.

The number one fierce person of the outer court.

Zhou Tong.
