Chapter 392: Ancient Saint (2/2)
However, once the Heaven’s Will of a generation slowly manifested to its grand stage, the advantages of these secret laws would finally show themselves.
In this instant, Li Qiye’s Neigong meridian continuously rumbled as if something wanted to climb out from the earth.
This was Li Qiye trying to open his seventh palace. Of course, opening a palace was a long and arduous process.
There were three stages in the Ancient Saint realm. From beginning to end, the stages are Palace Opening, Domain Formation, and City Creation!
To an ordinary cultivator with only three palaces, they just needed to open the fourth to reach the Ancient Saint realm.
Four palaces form a domain, so in the Ancient Saint realm, one would need to turn these four palaces into a domain, then turn this domain into a city.
For Li Qiye who had six palaces that had turned into cities capable of supporting existences, he could directly surpa.s.s grand accomplishment Ancient Saint and reach Heavenly Sovereign right away!
However, Li Qiye did not do so. He stopped at the Ancient Saint realm in order to fortify his foundation and absorb worldly essence to continuously strengthen his True Fate to open the seventh palace…
Ancient Saints also had three levels: Little Saint, Young Saint, and Grand Saint. However, Li Qiye was not part of this cla.s.sification because opening the fourth palace was the beginning of this realm.
A five palace saint is a Heaven Restoration Saint because a Royal n.o.ble with four palaces is called a Heavenly n.o.ble, so an Ancient Saint with five palaces was only making up for what they were lacking back in the Royal n.o.ble realm.
A six palace saint is called a Dao Restoration Saint due to the same principle of catching-up as the previous t.i.tle.
The moment one opened the seventh palace, they would be called a Heavenly Saint. This was the real starting point of Ancient Saints, just like the fourth palace of the Royal n.o.ble realm.
Those who opened the eighth palace were called Grand Dao Saints, and those with nine were called Pinnacle Saints.
Having nine palaces was the limit of Ancient Saints, just like how having six palaces was the limit of Royal n.o.bles.
Within this realm, a person with nine palaces could directly suppress others of the same level. It did not matter how strong the opponent’s cultivation was, as long as they didn’t have nine Fate Palaces, they would suffer a direct suppression.
This was the reason why Bing Yuxia could be so proud with her nine palaces. Even Deity Jikong Wudi and G.o.ddess Mei Suyao had to be wary of her.
As a Pinnacle Saint, she was a tyrant amongst all saints. It didn’t matter which merit laws other saints cultivated since they were directly pressured by her palaces!
At this time, Li Qiye’s blood energy soared like a magnificent rainbow as his Neigong meridian resounded with thunderous explosions, signaling the opening of the seventh palace. Li Qiye had absolute confidence that obtaining nine palaces was not a challenge to him, and even opening twelve palaces was not a test. His real ordeal was the mythical thirteenth palace!
With a thunderous rumble, Li Qiye’s h.e.l.l Suppressing Inner Physique suddenly disappeared while the second Inner Physique was also quivering.
The trembling second Inner Physique was shaking as if an immortal existence was gently shaking its wings, stagnating the flow of time so that one flap of these wings would allow for Li Qiye to escape the temporal restriction!
The Soaring Immortal Physique was the second Inner Physique that Li Qiye wished to cultivate.
For others, cultivating two Immortal Physiques was impossible, but not for Li Qiye. At this moment, his h.e.l.l Suppressing G.o.dly Physique was at minor completion and was still a long ways off from grand completion.
So at this time, he slowed down the cultivation of the h.e.l.l Suppressing G.o.dly Physique and spent more energy and time on the second physique instead.
[spoiler t.i.tle='392 Teaser']In fact, to Li Qiye, creating nine stars at this realm was a matter of course. His dao foundation was firm; especially after the Worldly Prime Liquid tempered himself, his foundation became unshakable right after Li Qiye opened the sixth palace.
For a Royal n.o.ble, six palaces carried great significance. It meant that their future path was paved for success.
This was Li Qiye’s attempt at challenging the limits to reach the peak by using his solid foundation. During the battle at the Tiger’s Howl School, Li Qiye devoured all the worldly essence of the White Tiger Great Vein in order to acc.u.mulate enough energy to create the nine stars in an even more favorable condition.
Thus, after he reached Enlightened Being, creating nine stars was only a matter of time and determination. Li Qiye’s stalwart dao heart allowed him to tread forward no matter how arduous the path was. Even if other people thought that it was impossible to create nine stars, he remained with the most relaxed frame of mind as he challenged the limits, allowing him to complete this task with ease![/spoiler]
