Chapter 2: The Colorful Continent

Lei Tiansheng was genuinely happy for Qin Ya, while also feeling an immense desire to cultivate himself as soon as possible, just like Qin Ya, to pursue the highest levels of cultivation and create an extraordinary life

Sister Qin Ya, I believe in you. One day, you will surely break through the Nirvana realm with ease, advancing rapidly in your cultivation, achieving the Great Way, and becoming a deity.

The path of cultivation is to seize the creation of heaven and earth. The true transformation of the cultivator will inevitably face terrifying and unpredictable calamities from heaven and earth. Those who endure these calamities and continuously transform will ultimately ascend to become divine beings, their physical bodies transforming into a ray of color that pierces the heavens

Grandfather seems to harbor many secrets within him. Just based on the different ways he trains us, one can tell he is quite formidable. However, he has always kept a low profile and insisted that we keep each other's secrets, which is truly perplexing. Sister Qin Ya, please teach me how to cultivate! Right now, I only possess physical strength, and when fighting against enemies, I must confront them face to face, relying solely on my physical power to clash with them. If those disciples from the Dantai residence were as powerful as you are today, I would probably be the one to perish. My goodness, with just a wave of your hand, you can strike down enemies from a distance. I am so envious!

The news of Dan Tai Zhengxiong's murder swept through Yongchang City like a hurricane, stirring up colossal waves

In the realm of the Divine Color, strength is paramount, and cultivation flourishes. The ultimate goal pursued by cultivators is to attain longevity equal to that of heaven and earth, to shine alongside the sun and moon, and to become divine. This is the origin of divinity.

As the waves of the great tide wash away the sand, the further one goes, the more difficult it becomes to cultivate one's abilities. Those who achieve physical nirvana are already rare, and those who can become divine are even more scarce, a true rarity.

Qin Ya was astonished, looking at Lei Tiansheng in disbelief: "Tiansheng, your strength is at least equal to mine, how can you still ask me to teach you to cultivate?"

The young men and women from two villages unexpectedly became adversaries of the Yongchang City’s two major families, the He and Tu families. This was nothing short of an act against the heavens for all the people of Yongchang City, causing an unprecedented uproar

What use is this? If one cannot break through to the Nirvana realm, no matter how high the innate talent is, it is destined to be unrelated to becoming a deity. The Nirvana realm is the greatest watershed and the ultimate realm for countless practitioners.

Qin Ya spoke very vaguely, and her grandfather informed her that there was not much content regarding cultivation. The reason he shared with her some almost legendary things was merely to encourage her to practice cultivation

That said, Qin Ya appeared completely calm and utterly indifferent, as if she did not care at all

... ...

Every practitioner enters the path through martial arts, planting the seeds of becoming a deity. This is a transformation that occurs from the inside out. However, the only requirement that grandfather has for Lei Tiansheng is to possess a strong physical body, which is a completely different path. It can even be said to be a unique path that is unparalleled.

Qin Ya gently nodded: "Indeed, it was my grandfather. When he first taught me to cultivate, he warned me that there must be no leaks regarding cultivation matters, and he also forbade me from displaying any of my abilities"

It is said that those who have undergone Nirvana and have developed various color roots are more likely to attain divinity. At the moment of their ascension to divinity, they can achieve a rainbow transformation, with their physical bodies transforming into a rainbow and soaring into the sky

The Dan Tai family and the Xiong family are among the top cultivation forces in Yongchang City. Although the two are notorious for being spoiled young masters, and even their fathers are frustrated with their lack of ambition, they are still their sons. Moreover, this matter pertains to the honor of both families, so how could they possibly give up

Perhaps even grandfather himself cannot clearly articulate it

Qin Ya's face was filled with terror, and even now, she has not yet calmed down

The colors manifested by the deified being are the original colors absorbed by the color roots within their body

Among the fleshly Nirvana practitioners, there are exceptional talents who stand out in the literary world, igniting the roots of seven colors that can absorb the seven colors of heaven and earth. There are also many practitioners of fleshly Nirvana who, through various means, shape other color roots to absorb more colors of heaven and earth, and even create complete roots of seven colors.

It is estimated that this is what is referred to as a meeting of like minds.

Qin Ya furrowed her brows in deep thought, while Lei Tiansheng looked at her eagerly, his face full of anticipation

On the day the news was released, people saw dozens of disciples from the Dantai residence rushing out of the city, and not long after, dozens of disciples from the Xiong residence also hurried out of the city.

Lei Tiansheng felt anxious: "Grandfather said that this time he would be away for a long time. He has only been gone for a few days, and who knows how long it will be before he returns! Sister Qin Ya, please teach me how to cultivate! We have killed the disciples of the Dantai family, and they will never let it go. If you teach me to cultivate now, I will also be able to possess greater strength to deal with them, right?"

She was the daughter of a hunter. She remembers that year when he was just over three years old and Qin Ya was four. They were playing with the other children in the village when suddenly a venomous snake sprang out, heading straight for him. The other children were frightened and ran away, but only Qin Ya bravely stepped forward, striking the snake with a stick. Unfortunately, she was bitten on the calf, suffering from severe venom. Although her grandfather saved her life, he was unable to preserve her legs

Indeed, the pursuit of the ultimate realm is not simple. Some individuals may reach the seventh level of this realm, gaining nothing further, and choose to break through. Only a select few, those of extraordinary talent, can attain the utmost ninth level.

Cultivation is something that Lei Tiansheng dreams of and yearns for. Although he is currently unable to cultivate, knowing some information about cultivation is still a good thing for him.

This vast and boundless expanse of land, known as the Divine Color Continent, was initially of little concern to Lei Tiansheng. It is only now that he understands the origin of the name Divine Color Continent, which is surprisingly related to practitioners.

Qin Ya smiled slightly: "Grandfather must have his reasons for doing this."

Qin Ya was shocked: "This... is too terrifying. The power of the physical body alone is so formidable. Grandfather is truly remarkable, to have enabled you to achieve such terrifying strength in such a unique way."

Moreover, the only one who escaped, Xiong Jincheng, also had one of his arms severed, and his identity is equally astonishing, as he is the son of the head of the Xiong family

This time, Qin Ya did not hesitate at all and gently nodded: "Of course. As long as one is willing, by inquiring with practitioners, one can learn some relevant information. Now, I will share with you what I know about cultivation..."

What puzzled Lei Tiansheng was that it was also his first time killing someone; not only did he feel no discomfort, but as he watched the enemy's blood and flesh splatter and inhaled the strong smell of blood, he even felt a thrill and a desire to continue killing

Lei Tiansheng's feelings for Qin Ya are quite complex, encompassing respect, care, gratitude, and guilt

Therefore, the phenomenon of the physical body transforming into a rainbow is the most common, and ordinary people can sometimes witness the phenomenon of rainbow transformation—rainbows.

In the depths of Shanghun Mountain, there is a highly concealed cave where Qin Ya and Lei Tiansheng are leaning against the cave wall

"No. " After a long while, Qin Ya shook her head firmly: "Grandfather is definitely a hidden master; there must be a reason for his actions. If I teach you cultivation now, it will surely disrupt his plans and may even hinder your future practice. You are naturally obedient, so let's wait for grandfather to return before discussing everything!"

"Sister Qin Ya, what level of strength have you reached now?" Lei Tian was eagerly curious as he asked.

The initial practice of cultivators involves pursuing martial power through methods of cultivation, cleansing the marrow, and studying texts, undergoing a transformation of body and spirit, achieving a physical rebirth, stimulating the body's potential, and tapping into the life essence hidden within the body—known as the root of color. This allows them to absorb the primordial colors of heaven and earth, thereby strengthening themselves. This is the fundamental path to becoming a deity and also elucidates the meaning of the character for color in the Divine Color Continent.

It was simply unexpected for everyone that the Xiong and Dantai families, which have always been at odds, would have the sons of their respective heads associating with each other.

Therefore, for Lei Tiansheng, he may not necessarily listen to his grandfather, but he will certainly listen to Qin Ya: "In that case, I won't force you. Sister Qin Ya, you can at least tell me about cultivation!" Lei Tiansheng said with a smile

Later, Qin Ya's parents tragically fell off a cliff and died while hunting a wild beast in the mountains, and she began to live with them.

Lei Tiansheng smiled helplessly and said: "My grandfather only allowed me to secretly temper my body since I was young, and he even told me that he himself is not a practitioner, so how could he teach me to practice?"

The four great realms that Grandfather spoke of to Qin Ya are all the attainments prior to the destruction of the root of desire. Before this, any realm that can pursue the utmost levels is destined to be extraordinary

Lei Tiansheng simply sat quietly, saying nothing, for he understood very well that Qin Yasheng was inherently kind-hearted, unable to even bear to kill a chicken on ordinary days. It was entirely normal for her to react this way today, having directly taken a life.

Lei Tiansheng would never forget in his lifetime that incident which ruined Qin Ya's life and caused him a lifetime of guilt

Qin Ya and Lei Tiansheng have no blood relation, yet they share a bond that surpasses that of siblings

However, those who can achieve rebirth through force are extremely rare

Listening to Qin Ya's discourse on cultivation, Lei Tiansheng felt the blood within him boiling, increasing his yearning for cultivation, yet also deepening his frustration, unable to understand why his grandfather only allowed him to temper his physical body

In the path of cultivation, it is essential to establish a solid foundation from a young age. It is evident that Lei Tiansheng has already missed the optimal time for cultivation. He truly does not know where this unique path laid out for him by his grandfather will ultimately lead him.

Lei Tiansheng became extremely excited and immediately became incredibly focused, resembling a child earnestly seeking knowledge

After a long while, Lei Tiansheng quietly looked at Qin Ya. Seeing that she had calmed down, he smiled and said: "Sister Qin Ya, I did not expect that you are actually a practitioner. Did grandfather ask you to practice in secret?"

Qin Ya smiled slightly and said, "Ninth Stage of the Bone Washing Realm"

How can this be? Grandfather must have his reasons for doing this. Naturally, it is better to wait for grandfather to return and teach you the practice himself

Lei Tiansheng was shocked, and after a moment, he was filled with endless surprise: "So it turns out that Sister Qin Ya's cultivation talent is extraordinary, pursuing the highest levels of cultivation!"

She is his reverse scale, and she is also the person he is willing to protect with his life

Sister Qin Ya, you ... ... teach me how to cultivate!" Lei Tiansheng said with a sly smile.

At present, Grandfather has only informed Qin Ya of four detailed realms, namely the realms of martial power, cleansing marrow, rebirth, and nirvana. Each realm is further divided into nine levels, and these levels offer flexible choices. The first six levels are the foundational levels; upon reaching the sixth level, one can break through to the next realm. This is also the choice of the majority of practitioners. Only a very small number of individuals choose to remain in their current realm, continuing their arduous training, struggling through the seventh to ninth levels, as these represent the extreme levels. Each breakthrough of a level signifies a qualitative enhancement of martial power within the current realm.

Grandfather is truly something; we live under the same roof, share the same pot of food, yet he still expects us to conceal things from each other

Perhaps this is due to the inner potential he developed from a young age while hunting in the mountains, battling for survival against wild beasts
