On the high platform.
Jiang Shi suddenly stood up from the meditation mat, his eyes flickering as he looked at his palm, feeling as if he had undergone a complete transformation at this moment.
Every sensation throughout his body was entirely different from before.
The power within his body had completely disappeared.
In its place was a vast and ancient power.
As his mind moved, this power manifested around him, forming an extraordinarily massive dragon, vivid and imposing, emanating a mysterious aura of supreme dominance.
Saint Origin!
"So this is the Saint Origin..."
Jiang Shi muttered to himself, saying, "According to the memories of that withered old man, a true Saint needs to refine three Saint Origins and then merge these three into one. After merging, they must be shattered again and integrated into oneself to truly enter the Saint realm. But even one Saint Origin has stumped countless people, so how can refining three be easy?"
At this moment, he deeply felt the difficulty of entering the Saint realm.
No wonder that after so many years, Saints are pitifully rare in the Great Heng Land.
Now, the Human Race has only three Ancient Saints left.
This means that over countless years, there has been no new blood to replenish.
Even if there was, it was extremely scarce.
"But I have the Enlightenment Talent, so refining the second Saint Origin shouldn’t take too long."
His heart surged with emotion.
Soon, he closed his eyes again, attempting to try here.
However, this attempt immediately revealed its difficulty.
Even with the Enlightenment Talent, there was no response at the moment.
His body had just exhausted its strength and painstakingly condensed the first Saint Origin; to refine the second, he would need to wait until his body was fully recovered.
His physical body was naturally not a problem.
The difficulty lay in the recovery of his spirit and power.
His power and spirit had just unified, forming the first Saint Origin.
To form the second, he must re-cultivate his power and spirit to reach the previous height.
So!
It is by no means an overnight matter.
Jiang Shi opened his eyes again, unable to help but sigh gently.
He rose from the stone platform to his full height and came down once more.
"Jiang Shi, how do you feel?"
Daoist Master Xuan quickly approached, asking expectantly.
"Indeed, it’s countless times stronger than before; the Saint Origin surpasses any power I previously knew."
Jiang Shi pondered for a moment, speaking deeply.
"I didn’t expect you to condense the first Saint Origin so quickly; such speed is extremely rare in history."
Daoist Master Xuan said.
"Unfortunately, this is just touching the edge of entering the Saint realm, still far from truly entering it."
Jiang Shi shook his head lightly.
"This is already very strong. With your talent, even compared to a true Saint, you’re probably not far off now."
Daoist Master Xuan replied.
Jiang Shi immediately furrowed his brow, pondering in his heart.
He possessed various talents and had the assistance of several divine artifacts. If he unexpectedly plotted against a Saint, perhaps he could indeed succeed.
But whether he could kill a true Ancient Saint, he had no assurance.
"What’s the situation outside? Have you probed any news from the East Sea?"
Jiang Shi inquired.
"While you were in seclusion, I indeed investigated once."
Daoist Master Xuan’s expression was solemn, "In short, the East Sea is now in chaos, with bloodshed and countless deaths and injuries. Countless experts from various races have fallen, yet the Gate of the Fallen Emperor still hasn’t truly opened; it seems the right time has not yet arrived. These days, more and more from the Alien Race are gathering, even true Ancient Saints have already shown their traces."
"Is that so?"
Jiang Shi’s eyes flickered, saying, "What about the Celestial Demon Headquarters? Is there any news from there?"
"Some Half-Saints directly entered the Celestial Demon Headquarters attempting to find you; fortunately, you had already left in advance."
Daoist Master Xuan said.
"So there were Half-Saints looking for me?"
Jiang Shi narrowed his eyes, saying, "Who were they?"
"A Half-Saint named Chi Venerable and another named Lv Xiang."
Daoist Master Xuan replied.
"Chi Venerable, Lv Xiang..."
Jiang Shi repeated, saying, "What are their backgrounds?"
"That’s not clear, maybe they just arrived in Great Heng, or perhaps they come from the Thousand Tribulations Sect or All Stars Tower."
Daoist Master Xuan said.
"How about the Sect Leader?"
Jiang Shi was silent for a moment, then asked.
"Rest assured, the Celestial Demon Sect Leader is fine, just suffered some injuries and encountered some warnings."
Daoist Master Xuan replied.
"I see..."
Jiang Shi fell silent again.
After a moment, he sighed softly.
"It seems that after all, I have implicated them..."
"Don’t say that. Even without you, the Celestial Demon Headquarters would still be targeted. Previously, the Thousand Tribulations Sect and All Stars Tower, as well as the Blood War Alliance, have targeted the Celestial Demon Headquarters more than once; this is a catastrophe aimed at the entire Human Race, far from being just due to an individual."
Daoist Master Xuan shook his head gently, saying, "If not for you, the Celestial Demon Headquarters would have been wiped out by the Blood War Alliance and All Stars Tower in the first instance, unable to hold on till now. So there’s no need to belittle yourself. Now, looking at the world, apart from the Celestial Demon Sect, which other power can continue to persist? Haven’t they all been wiped out by the Alien Race or replaced?"
Jiang Shi pondered, saying, "I plan to continue my retreat here for a while longer. I shall trouble you, Senior, to gather information from outside, okay?"
"Sure, that’s not a problem."
Daoist Master Xuan replied.
"Alright."
Jiang Shi nodded.
"By the way, Mr. Jiang, Brother Wu knows his mistake now; why not let him go? After all, I have been acquainted with him."
