Xia Hengzhou's expression grew solemn, and he replied, "I've investigated the Huang Family's strength over the years, and on the surface, there are five experts at the Vajra Realm, but the true strength of the Huang Family is certainly not limited to this!"

"Among these five, some are guest elders of the Huang Family, and some are members of the family. However, to show respect for the guest elders, they usually refer to each other as brothers."

Xu Fan nodded and asked, "Are they from Huang Siyuan's uncle's generation?"

Xia Hengzhou nodded, his expression grave, "That junior from the Huang Family calls them uncles, numbered from one to seven. However, it's said that the first and third have long since died, leaving only five."

"You should understand that the five I've mentioned are merely the visible strength of the Huang Family."

Xu Fan naturally understood Xia Hengzhou's implication.

In a family, especially a super family like the Huang Family, the ones with the highest cultivation level are usually the elders of the oldest generation, simply because they've lived the longest!

But just the visible strength of the Huang Family's five members was enough to leave Xu Fan feeling breathless.

At this moment, Xu Fan asked a question that had long been troubling him, "Father-in-law, how are realms divided above the Entering Dao Realm?"

These days, Xu Fan kept hearing the term Vajra Realm, associating it with the indestructible body of the Baron Vajra, a vague comprehension forming inside his heart, yet he wasn't clear on the specifics.

Xia Hengzhou's expression turned slightly painful; the reason he was introducing the Huang Family to Xu Fan was due to Xu Fan's previous performance, especially after defeating Nash Baron, which subconsciously made Xia Hengzhou feel Xu Fan's strength was on par with his own.

But now, Xu Fan's question suddenly brought Xia Hengzhou back to reality: while Xu Fan was undoubtedly capable, he was merely a youngster at the late stage of the Entering Dao Realm.

"Didn't your master tell you?"

Xu Fan shook his head honestly; that old man was notoriously unreliable, something Xu Fan had long been accustomed to.

At this, Xia Hengzhou patiently explained to Xu Fan, "After the Entering Dao Realm comes the Vajra Realm. It's said that cultivators entering this realm are considered genuinely initiated on the path of cultivation."

"The Vajra Realm, as the name suggests, means the body is as solid as Vajra, impervious to conventional weapons. In the contests between cultivators, even a peak-level expert of the Entering Dao Realm cannot harm a Vajra Realm powerhouse in the slightest with their full efforts."

At this point, Xia Hengzhou seemed to recall Xu Fan's achievements, twitching his mouth, "Of course, you're the exception, kid."

Xu Fan did not display a proud expression; instead, he furrowed his brows lightly, "Is there truly no weakness in a Vajra Realm cultivator's body? Why are they so strong?"

All of Xu Fan's adversaries were at least at the Vajra Realm level. Without identifying any weaknesses, three days later, Xu Fan would have no chance whatsoever against the Huang Family.

"The body of a Vajra Realm is genuinely tempered by nature's spiritual energy. The immense spiritual energy tempers every inch of one's skin, so fundamentally, there are no weaknesses!"

"There is only a differentiation between strength levels! Some people have incredible talent and persistence, enduring endless pain during the tempering process by nature's spiritual energy, thus making their bodies far stronger than typical Vajra Realm cultivators! Conversely, the reverse is also true."

Xia Hengzhou discerned the undertones in Xu Fan's inquiry, and directly interrupted Xu Fan's intention of seeking a weakness.

Before the true strength of a genuine powerhouse, how could there be an opportunity for the weak to exploit weaknesses?

"What was the strength of that Nash Baron within the Vajra Realm?"

Xu Fan wasn't disheartened upon hearing there were no weaknesses; instead, he asked Xia Hengzhou again.

"Very strong, at the late stage of the Vajra Realm, roughly equal to my realm. In a true contest, the outcome would be uncertain."

Even though Nash Baron was already dead, Xia Hengzhou maintained his humility.

"What about the strength of the five Vajra Realm experts from the Huang Family?"

Faced with Xu Fan's question, Xia Hengzhou slightly furrowed his brows, seemingly recalling, "Two are at the early stage, two are at the middle stage, and one at the late stage of the Vajra Realm."

After speaking, Xia Hengzhou added, "This information is from ten years ago. I'm not too sure about their current strength."

Xu Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, considering that the early stage of the Vajra Realm should be akin to the standard of Baron Ash, the middle stage similar to Baron Kuhn, and the late stage akin to Nash Baron.

Two at the early stage, two at the middle stage, and one at the late stage of the Vajra Realm—this lineup was somewhat troubling.

Moreover, this was merely the apparent strength from ten years ago!

In the past decade, the Huang Family traveled westward, steadily developing their strength while allying with the local Western Dark Forces, with virtually no losses.

Thus, the Huang Family today could only be stronger than before!

Xu Fan shook his head and now asked, "What comes after the Vajra Realm?"

Five Vajra Realm cultivators represent only the visible strength of the Huang Family; Xu Fan must prepare for the hidden strength behind them.

"Beyond the Vajra Realm? You're merely at the late stage of the Entering Dao Realm and are already thinking about realms beyond the Vajra Realm?"

Despite saying this, Xia Hengzhou's face bore a hint of yearning. He began to describe to Xu Fan, "Above the Vajra is called Zhiwei. Experts at the Zhiwei Realm have already gained insight into the heavens and generally possess their own domain."

"The Nash Baron we encountered, although able to release a domain, merely possessed a surface-level understanding of it!"

"A true domain can alter the heavens above and change the earth below. As long as one is within the domain, the Zhiwei Realm expert is the master over the entire realm!"

Xu Fan couldn't help but show a hint of shock on his face at this point.

The terror of the Blood Sea Domain was something Xu Fan had already experienced firsthand; such a terrifying domain was merely a surface-level understanding!

A true domain could change the heavens and the earth!

This is the essence of a genuine powerhouse!

Xu Fan's eyes were filled with deep yearning, but Xia Hengzhou couldn't help but dampen his spirits, "Xu kid, stop daydreaming! You are merely at the late stage of the Entering Dao Realm, not even having stepped into the Vajra Realm yet. What are you thinking about the Zhiwei Realm?"

"After reaching the peak of the Entering Dao Realm, every step on the path of cultivation is fraught with danger, threatening dismemberment at any time! When the time comes, you'll understand how challenging this path truly is."

Seemingly recalling the hardships of his own cultivation journey, Xia Hengzhou couldn't help but feel a sense of lament at this point.

Though Xu Fan obediently nodded, the fiery determination in his eyes remained undiminished.

At this moment, Xu Fan couldn't resist asking once more, "Is the Zhiwei Realm the pinnacle? What realm exists above the Zhiwei Realm?"
