Great Tyrannical Deity - Chapter 19
Shi Li and the elder barged into the Grand Hall. All of the other elders looked at them weirdly.
“Oh? What’s this third elder? Is this the boy you’re talking about?” A voice asked.
The elder replied, “Yes, this is the one. Remember what I told you all about him reaching the strength of Fanzui realm at Muscular Refinement Stage 2?”
Another voice answered, “Yeah. What about it?”
The elder said, “Well, with him at Muscular Refinement Stage 4 now, he can now reach Dizui realm.”
The elders were speechless. To think that 2 stages gave this boy another realm of strength. But what the elder said next left them on the edge of their seat. “And he says he can still go beyond that.”
“What?! That’s impossible! He can still go higher?” A voice shouted. The man was going to faint at this point.
The elder looked at Shi Li, “Are you really sure you can go beyond Dizui?”
Shi Li nodded, “I can. If you don’t believe me, let me punch a strength measuring pillar.”
The elder asked for a strength measuring pillar and it was brought into the Grand Hall.
All the other elders were looking at Shi Li nervously, hoping that his words were true.
“Why did you bring me here anyway?” Shi Li was curious.
“You’ll see.” The elder replied. “Just punch your strongest punch.” He continued.
Shi Li nodded and went in front of the pillar. He clenched his fist and use his full force multiplier. There was a faint aura emanating around Shi Li’s fist. It was akin to crashing waves. It was of course his [Flowing Waves, Reaching Heavens] technique!
He inhaled deeply and shouted, “[Flowing Waves, Reaching Heavens]!” With a bang, the fist landed on the pillar and it left a small crack on the pillar.
This left some elders astounded. “Could it be?” One elder muttered.
Seconds later, the result was out.
15,000…
20,000….
25,000….
30,000….
35,000….
38,000….
40,000! Shi Li hit 40,000 ren!
This made some elders faint in ecstasy. ‘We finally have a successor!’ They thought.
Even the elder that brought Shi Li into the sect was elated. “Kid, you actually went beyond! I, Elder Li Zunqian, am proud to say that I actually got a monstrous genius into our sect! Hahahaha!” Elder Li laughed loudly at the idea.
“We finally have a successor to the sect!” An elder shouted. All the other elders nodded deeply, implying that they also agree.
Shi Li was confused. ‘40,000 ren and they say I’m a successor?’ He thought. He went to Elder Li and asked, “What do the other elders mean by successor?”
Elder Li calmed down from his earlier happiness and replied, “You may not know this but the Heavenly Fist Sect actually has an inheritance from the first sect leader. The sect leader got this from an extremely fortuitous encounter and made the Heavenly Fist Sect into what it is today.”
Another elder continued, “Back then could be said to be the Heavenly Fist Sect’s golden age. We were on the levels of a grand sect in those days! Sadly, the sect leader passed away and with no one to inherit the sect leader’s position, we could only hope to gain someone with the following conditions.”
Elder Li continued, “First one would be someone strong at the Dizui realm since that’s the limit of the inheritance in terms of cultivation level. Second one would be a peerless genius of countless generations that can exert strength of a Dizui realm or higher…at a lower realm.”
He then looked at Shi Li and smiled, “You’re the second one!”
Shi Li understood. Sects don’t last long if there wasn’t a leader to protect the sect. Once the leader falls apart, the sect also falls apart. To think that they can still be one of the top sects of a city up to this day, made Shi Li admire them.
Shi Li then asked, “So does this mean I can go through this inheritance?”
An elder nodded, “With you exerting the strength of a Tianshang realm, of course you can!”
Before Shi Li was about to ask what the Tian realm was, Elder Li said in a voice transmission, “Shi Li, there are more realms than you think in cultivation. First would be the Muscular Refinement realm, second would be the Qi Creation realm, third would be the Fan realm, fourth would be the Di realm and last would be the Tian realm!”
“Once a Dizui cultivator reaches the Tian realm, his body and spirit can soar beyond the skies, becoming one with the heavens and earth, gaining another 10,000 ren! Every stage has a difference of 10,000 ren. Tianxia at 20,000 ren, Tianzhong at 30,000 ren, Tianshang at 40,000 ren, and Tianzui at 50,000 ren.”
The elder continued, “Once a Tianzui reaches the peak, he could be said to be unparalleled across many cities. To go further, he must gain enlightenment into their own dao and create their own dao path. Once this is established, one is beyond the heavens and becomes one with the dao. This is what we call the Dao Path realm!”
Shi Li absorbed every bit of information. To think that there are still people stronger than Shi Li, Shi Li became a bit more humble.
He then asked, “Then what is elder’s cultivation at the moment?”
Elder Li chuckled, “Me? I’m in the Tianzhong realm. The other elders are around the same realm also.”
Shi Li was surprised. He counted how many elders there were and it was around 15. With 15 elders all at Tianzhong, they could be said to be undefeated in many cities!
An elder then nervously asked, “So…are you willing to accept the inheritance?”
Shi Li is still an inner disciple of the sect. With him being an inner disciple, it would take everyone by shock to see him instantly becoming sect leader. Shi Li also thought of this and said, “If I take the inheritance, wouldn’t I become sect leader instantly?”
The elders nodded. An elder said, “Technically speaking, yes. Once you comprehend the full inheritance, you shall become the sect leader. About this, no need to worry. We will slowly raise your position bit by bit without anyone noticing.”
Shi Li smiled, “If so, I agree to accepting the inheritance!”

Author’s notes:
Fan realm is all about comprehending one’s self and using every ounce of the strength to its limit.
Di realm is all about escaping the cage of the physical body and gaining attunement with the surroundings.
Tian realm is all about being one with the earth and also being one with the heavens.
Fan realm unlocks a qi gate once they reach Fanxia. You can unlock up to a maximum of 3 gates in the Fan realm. Shi Li’s father went over this in Chapter 2.
Di realm and Tian realm would be planned in the future. Hope this clears up stuff.
