When Sānbǎo was still around, he once mentioned some common sense about martial arts realms during a casual chat with Lǐ Chén.

For example, if ten thousand people practiced martial arts together in a normal environment and background, regardless of whether the resources or instruction were adequate, they wouldn't need to worry about anything else, focusing solely on their training.

In such a favorable environment, about nine thousand out of ten thousand people could likely become successful.

can be considered the level of a martial artist.

And of these nine thousand, six thousand were able to reach a level of mastery.

Once you reach this level, no matter what school of thought you belong to, even if you join the Jinyi Wei, you will not be rejected. In any school, you will be a mainstay.

And of these six thousand, there are roughly one thousand who can enter the realm of Grandmaster.

Once one reaches the grandmaster level, they become part of the management within martial arts schools. Even within the Jinyiwei system, securing a position as a Baohu is normal and reasonable.

Of the thousand people, perhaps ten or so could reach the Grandmaster realm.

In reality, the realm of a half-step Earth Immortal is fundamentally nonexistent.

Therefore, strictly speaking, both Gong Huiyu and Sānbǎo are masters of the grandmaster level.

What sets them apart from ordinary masters is that they can sense the existence of the realm of Earth Immortals, but they cannot find a way to truly enter that realm. Most others who are always striving for higher realms never even touch the threshold of what it's like to be an Earth Immortal throughout their entire lives.

So, among those dozen or so Master Realm experts, perhaps one person might be incredibly lucky, blessed by heaven, and able to touch that threshold.

To succeed, one needs a combination of talent, opportunity, aptitude, and accumulated experience. Each element is essential.

Not everything being present doesn't guarantee entry into this realm, but if even one element is missing, it means one will be destined to never experience it in this lifetime.

Thus, the leap between martial arts realms is enormous. In the early stages, diligence and hard work can still yield results and lead to breakthroughs in the next realm.

But when it comes to the realm of masters, what is valued even more are heaven's providence and one's personal comprehension. These profound and mysterious things concretely perplex all martial arts practitioners around the world.

Therefore, the probability of a martial artist achieving the realm of an earthly immortal is far less than one in ten thousand.

Given this context, Li Chen thought it was normal for Gong Huiyu to be disappointed.

If this were on him, he would have given up long ago.

Even if you choose to lie flat and be a salted fish in today's society, it can still be the most stylish one. There's no need to pursue those ethereal things.

Although celestial beings on land are indeed powerful.

"Thinking about this, Li Chen curiously asked: "Sword Immortal, how did you enter this realm"

Lord Li glanced at Li Chen, but didn't dodge. He said, "Bought with life."

Li Chen frowned, thinking Li Tianzun was talking nonsense.

Although they hadn't known each other for long, Li Chen could still get a sense of Li Tianzun's personality.

Unbound by convention, insightful yet nonchalant.

Would a person like this go all out

Li Tianzun seemed to see that Li Chen didn't believe him, he chuckled and said, "Back then, I was stuck in the Grandmaster realm for a long time. I couldn't stand the loneliness, so I went to Japan for a while."

Li Chen suddenly blurted out, "The Supreme Elder of the East Ying Yin Yang Sect Rumored to be the strongest terrestrial immortal"

Li Tianzun smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to know this, not bad, that's right, I challenged him."Chapter 980 The Deep-Laying Plan
