Shen Han was not someone who couldn’t endure pain; on the contrary, he had a strong ability to bear pain.
When he was learning "Unceasing Skill," he endured the piercing pain all over his body through sheer willpower.
But the pain brought by this Spiritual Liquid was completely different from the piercing pain of practicing "Unceasing Skill."
The piercing pain of "Unceasing Skill" was very distinct, like rolling in thorns with a bare body.
The pain from the Spiritual Liquid felt as if the body was about to be shattered by a hammer.
Even his consciousness became blurred under the pain, as if his mind was detached from his body.
And yet, he only drank one drop of Spiritual Liquid!
When he awoke again, Shen Han didn’t know how many days had passed.
His clothes clung to his body.
It might be that, while in pain, he had sweated profusely.
Dried sweat clinging to the clothes had made them stick.
Slowly, he crawled up from the ground.
The pain brought by the Spiritual Liquid was almost unbearable even for him.
After all, he was a Third Grade Immortal Realm cultivator, and he still had "Unceasing Skill" accompanying him...
Yet, the intense pain was indeed difficult to withstand.
No matter how strong his will seemed, it wouldn’t help, after all, the pain was so intense that his mind was almost shaken away.
He got up and ate something.
Shen Han could clearly feel that he was only one step away from the Second Grade Immortal Realm.
In the new cultivation system, the Second Grade Immortal Realm is the Rainbow-Devouring Realm.
Even in the Southern Heaven Continent, this vast region, the strength of the Rainbow-Devouring Realm was already not to be underestimated.
In Southern Heaven Continent, apart from the exceptionally outstanding younger generation, the Rainbow-Devouring Realm was almost an insurmountable peak for young people.
Before the age of thirty-five, it was still challenging to step into the Rainbow-Devouring Realm by practicing this new system.
Even those who could reach the Rainbow-Devouring Realm at the age of thirty-five are considered to be absolute elites.
Of course, compared to the old method, it was still much faster.
For those who practiced the old method, wanting to step into the Second Grade Immortal Realm required at least a hundred years.
So far, there hasn’t been a single Second Grade Immortal Realm expert under a hundred years old.
But Shen Han would break this.
Thinking of this, Shen Han took out another drop of Spiritual Liquid.
Without any hesitation, he drank it down.
...
When he woke up again, it was raining.
His body had already been drenched by the rain.
Compared to the last time he woke up, this time his mind was clear.
Looking at the scenery and objects around him, everything seemed much clearer to his eyes.
Second Grade Immortal Realm, achieved!
The Second Grade Realm is the path towards enlightenment.
Unity with the Dao is the sublimation of the Dao, it’s about carving out one’s own path.
Understanding the Dao from heaven, no longer under others’ suppression.
For those who cultivate the new system, they cultivate by harnessing Heaven and Earth’s Creation, using Heaven and Earth’s Momentum for their own benefit.
Entering the Rainbow-Devouring Realm still involves devouring Heaven and Earth’s Creation, but it’s a step of enhancement rather than a qualitative change.
In contrast, practitioners of the old method achieving Second Grade undergo a qualitative change in one step.
Moreover, after achieving the Second Grade, having forged one’s path, one would no longer be easily suppressed by Heaven and Earth’s Momentum.
It is precisely because of this that Luo Changping, who is at the Second Grade Immortal Realm, could escape with his life when facing You Wanying from the Tiger Peak Manor.
If confronted with a First Grade Immortal from the old method, Luo Changping would undoubtedly perish!
Having reached the Second Grade Immortal Realm, Shen Han understood his own strength.
Below the elder rank of Tiger Peak Manor, he feared no one.
It was time for him to return.
With this thought, Shen Han found a small stream and cleansed himself.
He changed into a clean set of clothes.
Approaching the Teleportation Array, he looked back at this land.
