Above all spirits

Chapter 462 Doubts about Personality

'Young Gu, although what you said makes a lot of sense, I still feel that you're idealizing the upper realm a bit too much.'

Werner is a demon living at the bottom of society and knows the cruelty of the lower realms, but Gu Yun has not experienced these things and has spent some time in the comfortable lower realm.

This inevitably made him somewhat worried.

Don't worry, I'll have a backup plan.

Gu Yun did not become arrogant after realizing his true form, but instead gladly accepted Werner's admonition that they were a community with a shared destiny.

His life is not just his own.

"It's a bit of a pity that although my physical body has undergone a transformation this time, it seems that I still haven't reached the limit of a Demon General and still can't condense battle qi."

"If I can gather battle energy, I am 99% confident that I can get into the top five."

Gu Yun looked down at her hands.

In a short period of time, they gathered their strength and clenched it into a fist.

Then relax and slowly unfold.

Gu Yun could clearly perceive the changes in his body before and after this transformation.

The flow of magic has greatly enhanced the output of power.

Simultaneously.

There is a sense of saturation.

This feeling of saturation is both a good thing and a bad thing.

The downside is that, given Gu Yun's current physical strength, using battle intent probably won't significantly improve his abilities.

In gaming terms, it's because the multiplication domain is the same and thus diluted.

This good news naturally means that Gu Yun will soon reach the limit of the Demon General's physical body.

One of the prerequisites for mastering battle qi.

This is the breaking of the limits of the physical body.

Unfortunately, the difference in suppression between the upper and lower realms is too great, making it easier for pseudo-innate beings in the lower realm to reach their physical limits and break through those limits.

Gu Yun has experienced so much.

Whether it's the polishing of the divine iron of creation, the disintegration and reconstruction of the divine lightning of heavenly punishment, or the rebirth after death.

Finally, it is tempered by the blazing divine fire and refined by the interplay of life and death energy.

Each one is a rare and precious opportunity for self-improvement.

Even though it has reached this level, it is still a hair's breadth away from reaching the limits of the physical body.

Gu Yun sighed, vaguely sensing that this might be related to his mistake of prematurely entering the Demon General rank.

He pondered as he made his way toward the trial site.

The system of this world is somewhat different from any world that Gu Yun is familiar with.

If Gu Yun had remained at the Innate level, his physical body would probably have already exceeded its limits.

But because of the breakthrough of the Demon General.

The boost from his rank raised the upper limit of Gu Yun's physical body, thus increasing the difficulty of breaking through that limit.

this world.

The physical body is not independent of magic; the two complement each other.

The gift of status.

It far surpasses your personal cultivation of a single power.

The most obvious example is for beings in the lower realms.

From the mortal level to the hegemonic level, beings in the lower realm can achieve the power to split mountains and shatter rocks.

From the Overlord rank to the Saint rank, one can even roam the void.

Needless to say, from the Holy Body to the Primordial Body, limb regeneration is a piece of cake.

Every major breakthrough in status is almost a qualitative change.

However, this qualitative change doesn't seem to be so obvious in the upper boundary.

especially.

After learning that Lin Fan, who held the title of Demon Lord, was outshone by the human who possessed the title of Returning to the Dao (Demon General), he was defeated.

Gu Yun's doubts about the Upper Realm's status deepened.

However, it should be noted that in the lower realms, apart from the assistance of power at a level beyond the standard of intention, the difference between the major ranks is almost negligible.

Especially the sacred body and the innate.

The only way for a Holy Body to overcome innate limitations is to rely on the Emperor's Will or a god or demon of the upper realm to descend to the lower realm and launch a dimensional attack.

The former involves the level of rules.

The latter possesses various powers and can also indirectly utilize the power of space.

It is clear that engaging in battles between higher-ranking opponents is extremely difficult.

Although in the upper realm, demon lords are generally much stronger than demon generals, that's not entirely true; it's only natural.

The growth of power in a high-ranking position is a series of leaps.

Can a Saint Body with a higher innate level and a Demon General with a higher lord level be on the same level?

For example, even if his strength increases according to the rank multiplier, if his Holy Body combat power is 1000, his Innate power is 5000, and so on, then the combat power of a Demon General and a Demon Lord would be at least the same.

So... can these be the same?

Another thing that puzzled Gu Yun was...

The advancement to a higher rank in the lower realm requires the cultivation of the spirit, soul, and body as a unified whole until reaching a bottleneck before a major rank can be achieved.

However, the upper realm seems to specialize in only one aspect, and breakthroughs in that single aspect can lead to advancement in rank, thereby indirectly driving growth in other areas.

It's good if the spirits of gods and demons are of the same lineage.

I've heard many times that the Asura follows the path of the physical body, so be it.

Gu Yun felt that something was off.

But they couldn't explain why.

After all, that's how things developed in the upper realm, and it succeeded.

Perhaps the trinity of spirit, soul, and body was never necessary in the first place; it was just that the rules of the lower realm suppressed it?

Gu Yun shook his head heavily, temporarily suppressing the question deep in his heart.

Actually, this problem isn't without direction.

Gu Yun believes.

As long as his soul reaches the innate level.

It's very likely that they'll find out something on their own.

Because his situation is different.

He can achieve true, innate-level spirituality, physical body, and…

The innate soul that no other living being can reach!

Far away.

I haven't even reached the level of a saint yet.

As Werner said, there are too many things to do on the other side.

Soul Crystal?

Soul ascension?

Or should we use the Book of Reversal?

In the end.

It's mainly that damn gray matter.

What are some ways to solve the gray matter problem?

Just as Gu Yun was feeling troubled...

Suddenly, I felt the weight of a hand on my right shoulder.

There was no reason whatsoever.

No other abnormalities were detected.

It seemed to appear out of thin air.

This eerie feeling immediately heightened Gu Yun's vigilance to the extreme.

"Who?"

The voice just fell.

Gu Yun had no intention of listening to anyone's reply.

He suddenly raised his left hand and grabbed the hand that was resting on his right shoulder with lightning speed.

He then turned around, and his left hand also rotated outwards.

"It hurts!"

"Stop!"

The familiar voice made Gu Yun stop what she was doing.

It was none other than Guangxuzi.

but.

The Guang Xuzi before him was a far cry from his usual slovenly appearance, making him seem somewhat unfamiliar to Gu Yun.

Although he was still dressed in that dark blue Taoist robe, he now had his hair tied up and his body tightly bound, giving him the air of a Taoist master.

After confirming that everything was correct, Gu Yun released his hand.

Guang Xuzi quickly pulled his arm out and vigorously shook it, which Gu Yun had twisted so that it was almost dislocated. Although it was not difficult for beings in the upper realm to regrow an arm after it was severed, it would still hurt.

Guang Xuzi said with a look of complaint.

"Brother Gu, it's one thing that you've only just arrived, but you're actually repaying kindness with enmity!"

The "gratitude" he mentioned probably refers to giving Gu Yun the opportunity to ask him for advice.

"How can you have such strength? You're clearly a demon general..."

Guang Xuzi took a closer look at Gu Yun's left hand and seemed to understand the reason, and subconsciously said.

"A body as smooth as crystal?"

"How could that be? It wasn't like that just two days ago..."
