According to Zhou Yuan's understanding,
The Great Ming Dynasty had 14 provinces.
Under the province, there were 140 prefectures, 193 states, and 1138 counties.
The Shaolin Temple of Mount Song was under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture.
Therefore, Abbot Sanzang wanted to inform the Kaifeng magistrate of the news of King Black Fox's birth and report it to the imperial court.
He brought Hua Xiaolan along so that she could find the other two Reincarnators of the Shaolin Three Heroes.
It was destined that Hua Xiaolan would meet the other two Reincarnators.
"Abbot Sanzang, can I go with you?”
Zhou Yuan also took the opportunity to request to tag along. The main reason was to gain some experience in the martial world.
Ever since he was born, he had been living in Huazhai Village. His understanding of this Immortal Martial World was only from books or teachers, so his experience in the martial world was very low.
Unlocking new maps through traveling was the fastest way to gain experience in the game.
Therefore, Zhou Yuan did not want to miss this opportunity. However, he needed to find a more legitimate reason for himself.
"There are still a few days before the Imperial Examinations. I want to take this opportunity to go to Kaifeng Prefecture to take the exam.”
The academy examination was a relatively low-level examination in the imperial examination. The examination location was in the prefecture or county. After passing the academy examination, one could become a scholar.
"Yuan 'er, you're only twelve years old. Isn't it a little too early for you to participate in the academy examinations?”
Grandma Hua was a little worried. She had originally planned to let Zhou Yuan participate in the academy examination after Zhou Yuan and Hua Xiaolan had established their family.
"I want to give it a try and familiarize myself with the academy examination. Even if I don't pass this time, it can be considered as accumulating experience.”
Zhou Yuan insisted on participating in the academy examinations.
Actually, it didn't matter if he didn't pass the academy examinations. The main thing was to gain experience.
"This old monk will bring Zhou Yuan along. Mount Song is 200 miles away from Kaifeng Prefecture, and it will take a whole day to arrive by carriage.”
The abbot Sanzang decided to take advantage of the situation and agree to Zhou Yuan's request.
He was also a little nervous and did not know if it was right or wrong to help Zhou Yuan.
After breakfast,
The abbot Sanzang personally drove a carriage carrying Zhou Yuan and Hua Xiaolan along the official road to the capital of Kaifeng Prefecture.
Along the way, it was the busy farming season to harvest wheat. The vast fertile land was completely different from the mountain scenery of Mount Song.
Zhou Yuan wanted to understand the division of realms in martial arts cultivation, so he asked Abbot Sanzang,"
"Abbot, what is Xiaolan's current martial arts level?”
Hua Xiaolan was also curious." Abbot, how am I compared to those martial arts experts?”
Sanzang shook the reins and smiled.
"Xiaolan, you're still far inferior to those martial arts experts. According to the division of martial arts realms, you should be at the unranked level now.”
He wasn't afraid of dealing a blow to Hua Xiaolan. Right now, she still didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. He really needed to deal a blow to her a little.
"What? I'm actually not good enough!"
Hua Xiaolan had indeed suffered a huge blow. She did not expect her strength to be so weak.
"Abbot, how are martial arts realms divided? Tell Xiaolan about it quickly so that she can set a clear goal.”Zhou Yuan said.
The abbot Sanzang nodded and explained,
"In short, martial arts cultivation is divided into two major levels, the Postnatal and the Innate.
Most martial artists were at the Postnatal level.
According to the depth of true qi and the level of actual combat, the Houtian level could be divided into unranked, third-rate, second-rate, and first-rate.
Martial artists who had just started practicing martial arts for three years were basically at the bottom or third-rate.
Martial artists who had practiced martial arts for more than three years and less than ten years were basically second-rate.
"More than 70% of the martial artists in the entire Jianghu are at this level. The most common type of people are the disciples of the major sects. For example, most of the martial monks in our Shaolin Temple are second-rate."
Of course, there were also some outstanding people who could break through to the top level within ten years.
However, most martial artists needed to spend more than ten years of hard work to become first-class.
The First Rated Warriors were mainly the last disciples, direct disciples, elders, and even sect masters of the various sects.
In short, First Rated Warriors were still very precious. Whether it was in the martial world or in the imperial court, they had a relatively high status.”
Hearing the story of the abbot Sanzang, Hua Xiaolan was filled with yearning." When can I become a First Rated Warrior?”
Meanwhile, Zhou Yuan was pondering. He was currently at the level of a First Rated Warrior.
The first rank is third-rate, the middle rank is second-rate, and the high rank is first-rate.
The system's ranking system could be compared to the ranking system in the game.
"Xiaolan, with your talent, as long as you practice diligently, I believe that you can become a First Rated Warrior in less than a year.”
The abbot Sanzang encouraged her. After all, Hua Xiaolan was the reincarnation of the three heroes of Shaolin Temple, and her talent was one in ten thousand.
Moreover, with a little guidance, he could awaken the martial arts accumulation of his previous life and amaze the world with a single feat.
"Abbot Sanzang, you only mentioned the division of Houtian cultivation just now. How are Xiantian cultivation divided?”
Zhou Yuan asked curiously.
Above First Rated Warrior, there was a higher realm, and it involved the Upper Sky Realm.
"Abbot, tell me quickly." Hua Xiaolan also wanted to know.
"Xiaolan, the Connate Realm is still a little far away for you, but I can tell you about it first so that you can have a preliminary impression.”
The carriage was traveling on a flat official road, so there was no need to worry too much. Sanzang explained,
"Above Houtian is Xiantian.
Postnatal mainly cultivated true qi and tempered the body to build up the foundation.
Innate was a little complicated. Different religious sects had different classifications and explanations for Innate.
Take Buddhism for example. The Connate Realm was divided into four realms:
Vajra, Dharma Flower, Treasure Image, Divine Power.
If he wanted to advance from the Postnatal realm to the Connate realm, he had to have an inheritance.
Inheritance was a secret of every religion. It was passed down by word of mouth and only true disciples had the right to know.
In the world, there were not many sects that could have innate inheritances. They were collectively called the three religions and nine schools.
The three religions were orthodox, representing Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism.
The nine sects were unorthodox sects, which generally referred to all unorthodox sects other than orthodox sects, such as the Miaojiang witchcraft sect, the demonic sect, the ancient tomb dual cultivation sect…
Although these sects were called unorthodox sects or even evil, their inheritances could not be underestimated. The strength of the Inborn experts they nurtured was often relatively strange.”

Kneel, evaluation tickets, monthly votes, tips!!!
The data for the new book period is very important. I hope that the readers will support me.
Your support is the greatest motivation for a young author to write!
In this chapter, I'll set up the realms. Everyone should familiarize themselves with the four realms first. Later, I'll explain the meaning of each realm in detail.
Then, the main character mainly cultivated Buddhist martial arts in the early stages, and later on, martial arts from other sects would slowly appear.
