"Xiao Xiao, why don't you take charge of the Blood Realm affairs?"

The Divine Phoenix woman suddenly suggested with a smile.

"Senior." Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu was instantly flustered and quickly refused, "How could I possibly have the ability to manage the Blood Realm affairs? Senior should know what kind of person I am. Protecting the Blood Realm is feasible, but handling its affairs is absolutely impossible for me given my personality."

He only hoped to enhance his strength as soon as possible so that after reaching the Heavenly God Realm, he could find a way for Emperor Miaoyi to be reborn. How could he willingly bind himself to one realm and manage its affairs?

"Haha!"

The Divine Phoenix woman laughed, having anticipated Xiao Mu's refusal, having merely been testing him. Predictably, Xiao Mu immediately declined.

This outcome was already within her expectations, so she didn't get angry and chuckled, "I knew it. Xiao Xiao, you're a cunning one. Fine, fine, if you don't want to guard the Blood Realm affairs, then don't. But you can't dodge protecting the Blood Realm any longer."

"Does Senior look down on me, Xiao Xiao? As a True God powerhouse and a Grand Elder of the Alliance, it's my rightful responsibility to guard the Blood Realm for the Alliance."

Xiao Mu replied with a smile, and then couldn't resist asking the Divine Phoenix woman about matters related to breaking through to the True God Peak Stage, "Senior, I have some cultivation-related questions I'd like to ask. Is that alright?"

The Divine Phoenix woman laughed and said, "You're being polite. Go ahead, what is it you want to ask?"

Xiao Mu then asked, "Senior, may I ask, is stepping into the True God Peak Stage guaranteed, or are there other requirements? I mean, when having Five-Color Soil or Green Soul Wood that allows the successful anchoring of the Divine Soul?"

Xiao Mu's question wasn't random. During this time, he had encountered many variants of the True God Realm, including those who had already reached the later stage of the realm.

Yet, of those at the later stage of the True God Realm, a vast majority found no hope of stepping into the peak stage.

Thus, Xiao Mu couldn't help but be curious — are there other conditions needed to reach the True God Peak Stage beyond cultivation? If other conditions aren't needed, why have so many people failed to reach the True God Peak Stage over tens of thousands of years?

Why have some people remained stagnant for tens of thousands of years?

Clearly, there must be other reasons at play. If only one or two individuals failed to break through due to some reason, it would be understandable, but it's not normal for everyone to fail to break through.

"Xiao Xiao, your question is very astute. In fact, reaching the True God Peak Stage in the later stages does indeed require certain conditions beyond just needing the Five-Color Soil or Green Soul Wood; personal accumulation is also necessary."

The Divine Phoenix woman calmly answered Xiao Mu's question, "The accumulation depends on the individual. The more one accumulates, the easier the breakthrough becomes. If the accumulation is too little, breaking through becomes increasingly difficult."

"You'll find many in the True God Realm, but each minor realm sees a significant decrease in numbers, precisely because they've exhausted their accumulation and can't continue cultivating to break through. Some people, when reaching the True God Realm, find their strength stagnating, or even regressing."

"Among these individuals, some have their limits at the early stages, others at mid-stages, some at later stages, and a few at the peak. The progression from peak to Heavenly God is another threshold, requiring even more accumulation for a breakthrough."

"The problem is, everyone has their limit. Once reached, growth ceases, no matter how many energy fruits are absorbed, and regression may even occur in severe cases. Hence, no matter how abundant resources might be, once reaching a certain extent, progress halts, resulting in individuals stagnating at Divine Spirit, True God, or Heavenly God Realms. This is what's known as a limit."

"Xiao Xiao, are you asking this question because your cultivation has encountered a limit?"

The Divine Phoenix woman spoke, suddenly curious, glancing at Xiao Mu with concern. He wouldn't be reaching his limit, would he?

"Haha! Senior misunderstood."

Xiao Mu laughed, "I haven't encountered the limit issue yet. I was just curious why some people suddenly can't progress further after reaching a certain point. Senior mentioned limits, and now I understand that such situations exist for cultivators. However, limits truly seem intriguing, inherently restricting everyone."

The Divine Phoenix woman nodded, though she was more curious about Xiao Mu's limit. She looked at Xiao Mu with interest and suddenly asked, "Xiao Xiao, I've always been curious. Everyone has a limit; you must have one too. Where does your limit lie? When will you reach it? The Heavenly God Realm? Heavenly God? Surely not at the Heavenly Emperor level, that would be too frightening."

Xiao Mu didn't know his own limit. He hadn't yet experienced the issue of a limit, and upon hearing the Divine Phoenix woman's words, he laughed and said, "I also don't know where my limit is. Maybe I'll reach it soon. But when that day comes, I'll certainly notify Senior, and be the first to do so."
