Chapter 22: Above the Void | Wan Zu Zhi Jie [Trans]
Wan Zu Zhi Jie [Trans] - Updated on March 18, 2025
Teacher’s dormitory.
A four-bedroom, two-living room house, quite large.
Liu Wenyan could disregard Bai Feng, but the Prefect couldn’t, nor could Nan Yuan. No one could disregard a researcher, not even with an assistant.
Therefore, Bai Feng’s temporary residence wasn’t inferior to any teacher’s, but rather better.
Bai Feng sat on the sofa, while Su Yu and Liu Yue stood obediently to the side like elementary school students, waiting for him to finish watching TV.
“Pfft!”
Rows of people were dragged out and beheaded!
Yesterday, the Great Xia Prefecture’s Dragon Martial Guard led the prefecture army to kill several thousand members of the Myriad Clans Sect and capture over three thousand, totaling nearly ten thousand people.
The Great Xia Prefecture’s policy was very iron-blooded: once captured, no trial needed. Once their identity was confirmed, it was just one word—kill!
Today, the beheadings were being broadcast live on TV.
Over three thousand people didn’t sound like much, but the beheadings had already been going on for over ten minutes and weren’t finished yet.
Liu Yue was a little afraid to watch too much, averting her eyes from the TV.
Su Yu also felt vaguely uncomfortable. It wasn’t sympathy, just that seeing so many spurting heads was making him nauseous, even though he had just killed two people yesterday.
Bai Feng, however, was watching with great interest, sipping tea and commenting with a smile: “The Myriad Clans Sect has many branches, but the Skybow God Sect is considered one of the stronger ones. The Sect Master is a top expert. This time, coming to the Great Xia Prefecture, he has completely failed. The Sect Master has fallen, and almost all the elite members have been killed.”
“It seems like the Great Xia Prefecture made a big profit this time.”
Su Yu and Liu Yue didn’t quite understand what he meant. A profit?
“Don’t understand?”
Bai Feng smiled and said, “It’s simple. The elite are dead, the Sect Master is dead. Who killed them? How many people in the Great Xia Prefecture could kill him? He dared to cause such a commotion in the Great Xia Prefecture, he must have been confident, thinking he wouldn’t die. No one seeks death.”
“Since that’s the case, he must have had some assurance. What was his assurance? Could it be other Sect Masters of the Myriad Clans Sect? No, it must have been his backers who came, and that’s why he dared to cause trouble in the Great Xia Prefecture!”
Su Yu’s eyes flickered slightly, and he said softly, “Bai Teacher means that someone from the Skybow God Clan came?”
“That’s right, they definitely came. Since the Sect Master died, did the Skybow God Clan fellow die?”
“If he died, wouldn’t you say it’s a profit?”
Bai Feng smiled and said, “This time, the Prefect is probably in trouble.”
“Trouble?”
“Yes, trouble! Just wait and see. All the major war colleges, including the civilization colleges, will probably surround him, requesting the Skybow God Clan’s flesh and blood and other treasures.”
Bai Feng chuckled, “I wonder if our academy’s Prefect has returned. He needs to quickly get some good stuff back. We’ve struck it rich! God Clan essence blood, God Clan flesh, God Clan weapons, God Clan techniques… tsk tsk, if this isn’t striking it rich, who is?”
“The Prefect is probably going crazy from all the noise. I bet the Great Xia Prefecture is in chaos right now.”
Hearing him say this, Su Yu and Liu Yue naturally understood.
Both of them also looked eager, not really wanting to get these things, but just listening made them feel excited. God and Demon essence blood, God and Demon bodies, these were all treasures!
“Bai Teacher, if someone from the Skybow God Clan came, are they very strong?”
“Naturally, they are very strong!”
Bai Feng looked at Su Yu and Liu Yue and said with a smile, “I’m a bit blunt, don’t mind me. To you people from Nan Yuan, Soaring is the sky, but to the Great Xia Prefecture, Soaring is just the backbone, the foundation for the strong to start from.”
“People from small places can’t imagine how strong the strong really are. Actually, there’s no need to know, because in their eyes, Soaring or above Soaring are the same, they can destroy them easily.”
“From the perspective of cultivators, Origin Opening, Thousand Catties, and Ten Thousand Stones are a foundation, a foundation to strengthen your physical body so that you aren’t burst by Yuan Qi. Only when you reach Soaring, in the major academies, in the major legions, including sects, the Heavens Battlefield, the Sea World, and the Human Sacred Realm, do you have the right to speak, and can you be considered to have truly embarked on the path of the strong.”
Su Yu’s eyes lit up. This came from a lack of knowledge. Nan Yuan was too small, and this sky was too small!
“Bai Teacher, I know there are realms above Soaring. My father once said that when he was in the Demon Suppression Army, the Ten Thousand Commander was in the Cloud Ascending Realm. Is Cloud Ascending a realm one level higher than Soaring?”
“Yes.”
Bai Feng sipped his tea and said calmly, “How far can Soaring fly? How high can it fly? Soaring is just the starting point for the strong. Stepping on clouds and walking, soaring above the clouds, at this time, you can say you are strong! How can any amount of Ten Thousand Stones, any amount of Thousand Catties, do anything to you?”
“I walk on clouds, not landing, thousands of feet above the ground. No matter how strong your arm strength, no matter how strong your military formation, can you shoot me down from the sky?”
“In the Heavens Battlefield, the Ten Thousand Commanders who can command ten thousand people are almost all in the Cloud Ascending Realm!”
“In the Cloud Ascending Realm, if you go to the Dragon Martial Guard, being a Thousand Commander is more than enough!”
“In the Dragon Martial Guard, the strongest are in the Soaring Realm, the weaker ones are in the ninth level of the Ten Thousand Stones Realm. The Hundred Commanders are almost all in the Soaring Realm, and generally above the middle stage, above the fourth level. There are 5 Thousand Commanders in the Dragon Martial Guard, 3 of whom are in the Cloud Ascending Realm and 2 of whom are in the ninth level of the Soaring Realm!”
Su Yu’s throat bobbed. So strong?
Then what about the Deputy Generals of the Dragon Martial Guard?
The General is the Great Xia Prefect, so there’s no need to talk about that. How strong are the Deputy Generals?
Bai Feng glanced at him and said with a light smile: “Above Cloud Ascending is the Mountain Sea Realm! Splitting mountains and cutting off the sea, every move shakes the four directions! With one blow, mountains collapse and seas wither, unbelievably powerful!”
“Then above the Mountain Sea Realm…” Su Yu quickly said, “I’ve heard of Supreme Experts, Invincible Experts, are they in the Mountain Sea Realm?”
“No.”
Bai Feng said with a smile: “Mountain Sea Realm Experts sit in one area. Even in the Heavens Battlefield, they can lead an army alone. With one command, hundreds of thousands of people run around, deterring powerful enemies! They can be generals, or they can be Deputy Generals of powerful legions, such as the Deputy Generals of the Dragon Martial Guard, Mountain Sea Realm Experts!”

“Above the Mountain Sea Realm, that’s the Supreme, that’s the Invincible!”
“It’s too far away from you. It’s enough for you to know. There’s no need to ask. You’ll know all this when you get to the Great Xia Prefecture. As for the Supreme and Invincible, that’s not our domain. What’s the point of knowing?”
“Your ambitions are sky-high, but your fate is as thin as paper. You haven’t even reached the Thousand Jun realm. Even if you know all this, do you think you can become invincible in a day?”
“You just need to know that they are very strong, unbelievably strong! The heads of the various prefectures are mostly experts at the Peak realm, and the founders of the prefectures are almost all invincible powerhouses. That’s enough.”
Su Yu’s throat was dry. For the first time, he felt that Nan Yuan’s sky was truly low!
Ten-Thousand Stone realm meant you were a powerhouse, and the Ascending Sky realm meant you were invincible.
But above that, there were the Soaring Cloud and Mountain Sea realms. He had never heard of such experts in Nan Yuan.
In the Soaring Cloud realm, one could be a commander of ten thousand on the battlefield of the heavens.
In the Mountain Sea realm, one could guard a region on the battlefield of the heavens, command an army, and be a regional overlord.
And above that, there were actually the Peak realm and even the Invincible realm!
Bai Feng looked at their expressions and smiled, a very happy smile.
He liked to see these people’s shocked expressions; it was a bit of a twisted pleasure.
Actually, there was no need to go into these things in detail. Once they arrived at the Great Xia Prefecture, they would naturally know. But he still said it because he was feeling a bit annoyed by Liu Wenyan’s attacks. Su Yu… this little genius from Nan Yuan, did he really know how high the sky was?
The next moment, Su Yu took a long breath, suppressed his thoughts, and barely regained his composure.
Bai Feng glanced at him and said to himself, “Not bad temperament.”
Just a kid who hadn’t seen the world. Being able to calm down so quickly was already impressive.
As for Liu Yue, although she was excited, she had already calmed down. Bai Feng didn’t look at her much. He could tell that this girl had known all this for a long time. Her excitement was just a yearning at this moment.
The truly ignorant one was actually only Su Yu.
Because he was born in Nan Yuan, lived and grew up here, and had never left in 18 years.
Su Long protected him very well, but Su Long himself was only at the Thousand Jun realm, so his knowledge was naturally not very high. Liu Wenyan wouldn’t tell Su Yu these things, and Su Yu would hardly see them in books, so he was truly ignorant.
“All of this is still far away from you. Time is precious, are you sure you want to waste it on this?”
Bai Feng didn’t ask them to sit down, letting them stand, and said with a smile, “I will stay here for two days. From now on, you can ask anything you want to know. I will tell you what I can. The opportunity is rare.”
Su Yu hurriedly said, “Teacher Bai, what exactly is willpower? How do you cultivate it? How do you judge it? What is strong, and what is weak?”
“Willpower…”
Bai Feng looked at him and smiled, “Yours is actually not weak. Of course, you haven’t specifically sensed it, cultivated it, or paid attention to it, so you can’t perceive all of this. Your martial granduncle let you go to the Civilization Academy because he noticed it and didn’t want you to go down the wrong path.”
“In my opinion, willpower is actually similar to physical strength. It is also a kind of power, just one is reflected externally and the other is reflected internally…”
As he spoke, Bai Feng picked up a black cup and covered the mouth of the cup with his hand, explaining, “Physical strength is actually the cup itself. If I use the cup to hit you, can you feel the pain?”
Su Yu nodded.
“This is physical strength. If I hit you, you will feel pain. You can directly feel it and see it. How much pain I cause you is related to the essence of the cup. The harder, bigger, and heavier it is, the more pain you will feel.”
“And willpower is actually the force inside the cup. At this moment, you can’t feel it. We cultivate willpower by pouring water into the cup.”
He took some water from the air and poured it into the cup.
“When the water inside the cup is not full, the willpower is not manifested. Even if it reaches the mouth of the cup, it is still useless. This is the state of your teacher, Uncle Liu, before. His cup is already full of water, but it hasn’t overflowed.”
“When willpower manifests and overflows from the mouth of the cup, that is manifestation!”
At this time, the cup was full of water, and it overflowed.
More and more!
Under Bai Feng’s control, the water became more and more, gushing out.
“At this moment, a little water overflowing, you think it’s nothing, not as powerful as physical strength. But what if it’s not just a little?”
The water was getting more and more!
Rumble!
Su Yu had a hallucination. He saw the water becoming a river, gushing out, flooding the room, flooding the academy.
Rivers, floods, sea waves,滔天之浪!
“Boom!”
The world was destroyed, cities were submerged, mountains collapsed.
Bai Feng’s voice sounded in his ears, “This is willpower. It can turn water into ice, and it can gather water into rivers and seas. In essence, it is actually the same as physical strength, just a use of power.”
“But it has its own particularity. You can’t see the end!”
“Physical cultivation, at least for now, has an end. Of course, we can’t see it now.”
“When you reach the Ascending Sky realm, you actually cultivate both, but we overflow with water first, use water to wrap the water cup, and strengthen the physical body. And the physical path is that the water cup first changes from porcelain to stone, and then desperately pours water into it.”
“If you ask me which path is better, they are actually the same, depending on your own choice and talent. Whichever is easier to walk, then take that path.”
Su Yu’s eyes blurred, and everything just now disappeared.
Bai Feng was still holding the water cup in his hand, and Su Yu gasped, “Then if it’s not full, or if it doesn’t overflow from the mouth of the cup like my teacher, does that mean it’s useless?”
“Can’t say that, at least your thinking is clearer and your energy is more vigorous.”
Bai Feng smiled, “If you don’t even have the ability to manifest, cultivating either path is the same. You are destined not to become a strong person. Is there much difference between Thousand Jun and Ten-Thousand Stone realm cultivators then?”
“Can you judge the strength when it’s not full?”
“Yes, you can.”
Bai Feng explained, “When you reach a certain point, you can actually feel it yourself. Of course, manifested experts can also observe it. For example, you, now your cup is about one-tenth full, I can feel it very clearly, as for you, you can’t perceive it now.”
“When can I perceive it?””When it’s half full, you can feel it very clearly. That power is inside you, but you can’t use it, can’t bring it out. We call this stage ‘Nurturing Nature’!”
Bai Feng smiled and said, “Nurturing Nature doesn’t count as a realm. Of course, you can understand it as Origin Opening, Thousand Jun, or Ten Thousand Stone! This period is very difficult! It’s about nurturing your nature. You feel the power, but you can’t use it. Aren’t you anxious?”
“You clearly think you can take on a Ten Thousand Stone expert, but you get slapped away by a Thousand Jun expert. Aren’t you anxious?”
“You’re beaten bloody by a Thousand Jun expert, and your water is actually at the brim of the bottle. The next moment it’ll overflow. Aren’t you angry?”
“But no matter how anxious or angry you are, it just won’t spill over. Aren’t you frustrated?”
“Your frustration is useless. At this time, many people can’t take it anymore, lose their composure, get heartbroken, and switch to the physical cultivation path. It’s just too frustrating!”
Bai Feng chuckled, “I’m looking forward to seeing that day, seeing your angry and helpless expressions! You need to know that every time this happens, the academy will do something. During your Nurturing Nature stage, students from the War Academy will come to exchange ideas… actually, it’s just to beat you up!”
“Torture you!”
“Humiliate you!”
“Piss you off!”
Su Yu was stunned. Liu Yue couldn’t help but softly ask, “Teacher Bai, why does the academy do this?”
“Simple, to stimulate you! If you can calm down and recognize the essence of yourself, you have hope of manifesting. It’s a double-edged sword. It might drive students crazy, piss them off, make them give up on this path, but those who make it through end up doing well.”
Bai Feng smiled happily, “This is the big show of the Civilization Academy. After you go in, you can see how your seniors are abused. It’s so tragic! The War Academy students love to say, ‘Back then, I abused so-and-so, and now that person is a Mountain and Sea Realm expert, while I’m only Ten Thousand Stone…’ ”
” ‘Back then, I beat the Mountain and Sea Realm expert so badly that they were crying like a baby…’ Many people think it’s bragging, but it’s not, it’s true.”
Su Yu couldn’t help but ask, “Teacher Bai, does everyone have to go through this? Then you…”
“Me?”
Bai Feng said calmly, “I didn’t, because I’m strong. Even in the Nurturing Nature stage, I’m very strong.”
Su Yu regretted asking the question as soon as it left his mouth, and now he smiled awkwardly and didn’t ask anymore.
Didn’t?
He found it unlikely. Maybe he had been beaten to tears before.
But the Civilization Academy actually has this kind of scene, Su Yu had his eyes opened.
“As for the cultivation of will power…” Bai Feng changed the subject and continued, “Read books! Study! Of course, not ordinary books, not ordinary writing. You’ve all learned the languages of the myriad races, you all know them.”
“Why learn the languages of the myriad races?”
“The languages of the myriad races themselves are nothing, but some carriers of the myriad races’ languages that record cultivation methods and martial arts are filled with will power. Right now, reading a book is a confrontation of will!”
“The stronger the cultivation method, the stronger the recorder, the more difficult it is for you to resist. In fact, this can also be used as a test.”
“In the Civilization Academy, when you can read the original book of a Thousand Jun Realm cultivation method, it means your will power can resist a Thousand Jun Realm physical cultivator. When you can read the original book of a Soaring Sky Realm cultivation method, it means you can manifest!”
“Reading the Ten Thousand Stone original is about the Nurturing Nature stage, which is also the beginning of this stage.”
Su Yu now understood completely. Just then, a white bone fragment suddenly appeared in Bai Feng’s hand.
“This is a book of the myriad races that records a Thousand Jun cultivation method. Of course, it’s just a fragment, a piece. The Heavens Battlefield doesn’t lack this stuff, and neither does the Civilization Academy. When you first enter the academy, you’ll mainly be studying these fragments.”
“You can take a look now. The power of the fragment is very weak. If you can see the words, it means you’re close to two-tenths of the water cup.”
Bai Feng had just said that Su Yu only had one-tenth of the accumulation, but now he was showing him something that required one-fifth of the accumulation.
Su Yu didn’t think too much about it. He took the white bone fragment and observed it in his hand.
Bai Feng instructed, “Look with your heart, just focus a little.”
Su Yu nodded and looked carefully, concentrating.
Gradually, the bone fragment changed slightly in his eyes, emitting a faint light, and vaguely seemed to have some words on it.
Su Yu was curious and became even more focused, wanting to see it clearly.
Boom!
At this moment, his head felt like it had been hit by an iron hammer. The bone fragment emitted light, Su Yu screamed, and instantly dropped the bone fragment.
Bai Feng had expected this and smiled, “Reading also comes at a price! This is the way of cultivation, this is the Civilization Academy. Don’t think that going to the Civilization Academy is the same as Nan Yuan, just looking at the translated versions. That’s nothing.”
“Every confrontation is tempering your will power. Of course, you can’t do it too many times a day. Once or twice is enough, otherwise you’ll go crazy. The Civilization Academy doesn’t lack crazy people. Many people overestimate themselves and try to read the originals that are beyond their reach, so many people go crazy.”

…………
Su Yu had a splitting headache!
Tears almost fell, so painful!
But… after about ten seconds, Su Yu opened his eyes, panting and recovering his composure.
It was as painful as being killed in a dream!
But having been killed for so many years, he was used to it, so it was just a little unbearable just now.
Bai Feng was about to continue speaking, that it was okay for him to cry for a while, since the new students were crying anyway…
As a result, at this moment, he swallowed the words in his mouth.
He glanced at Su Yu and raised his eyebrows slightly.
He was sure that Su Yu’s will power was only one-tenth full, but this guy… actually endured it just like that?
How is that possible!
The will power on this bone fragment was twice as strong as Su Yu’s, and Su Yu should have been in pain for at least half an hour.
Bai Feng blinked. Not bad!
No wonder Martial Uncle values this kid so much. In that case, perhaps his talent isn’t that great, but his resilience is terrifying. Sometimes, when cultivating willpower, talent isn’t the key; resilience is what determines the future.
Su Yu recovered, grimacing slightly, and asked, “Teacher Bai, is willpower generally strong for ordinary people?”
“One percent!”
Bai Feng suppressed his thoughts and smiled, “That’s the level of ordinary people, indicating they don’t have the talent. You have pretty good talent, as for Liu Yue… she’s a little stronger than you, around 15%.”
Su Yu was a little embarrassed, realizing he wasn’t even as strong as Liu Yue.
Bai Feng smiled and didn’t continue. He had actually seen that Liu Yue had read some original fragments of cultivation techniques!
That’s why she was stronger than Su Yu, but in reality, Su Yu could catch up soon.
Beside them, Liu Yue remained silent, but her expression towards Su Yu was a bit strange.
She had seen the original, so she knew how painful the first collision was when you weren’t used to it and hadn’t experienced it before.
The first time she saw it, she cried for half an hour and slept for most of the day before recovering.
But Su Yu… was this guy a beast?
No, was this guy slow to react?
Did he not feel pain?
After her first time seeing it, she didn’t want to see it a second time. She was scared and afraid.
But Su Yu… actually took the bone fragment again at this time, looking eager, as if he wanted to see it again!
Bai Feng couldn’t help but chuckle. He hadn’t paid much attention to these two before, but now he was interested in Su Yu. He smiled and said, “I’ll give it to you! You can only look at it twice a day at most, don’t look at it too much, you won’t be able to handle it. When you can really see the words on it clearly, you’ll have reached 20%, and you’ll be one step closer to Nurturing Nature.”
“This is just one fragment of the bone tablet. The entire book has 3 pages. Once you’ve read them all, and read them all together, you can reach 40%.”
“Once you can read the Myriad Stone cultivation technique, you’ll be in the Nurturing Nature stage.”
Bai Feng gave the bone fragment to Su Yu. This thing was quite valuable, but it wasn’t much to him.
Su Yu didn’t know the value, but Liu Yue knew. She was a little envious at the moment.
Even for her, whose family was considered wealthy in Nanyuan, buying an original bone fragment from the Xia Clan Chamber of Commerce would cost at least over a hundred thousand.
They came together, and she was clearly stronger, but Bai Feng still gave it to Su Yu.
From this, it could be seen that Bai Feng was more interested in Su Yu.
