1573 Rich Rewards (1/2)
On land, countless eyes looked toward the fifth level of the sea.
It was too shocking. Ninety-nine percent of cultivators present couldn't even touch the first level, but Wang Xu had already passed the fourth level.
This difference was like the difference between mortals and gods.
The further you went, the harder it would be to cross the sea.
The Spiritual Flame Demonic Concubine parted her shiny lips. Respect and envy appeared in her beautiful eyes. ”We're both half-step Saint Kings. How can we be so different?”
The Truth Boat started shaking violently as soon as it entered the fifth level. Wang Xu couldn't control it.
Plop.
The boat flipped over and Wang Xu fell into the sea.
Clearly, the difficulty increased tremendously after entering the fifth level.
Saintly light poured out of the water and wrapped around Wang Xu's body. He flew out of the water and landed on dry land.
Instantly, thunderous applause sounded on the land. Countless cultivators looked at Wang Xu with respect and envy.
Han Shang, a second-tier disciple of the Truth Godly Palace, went over immediately with an excited expression. ”Congratulations, Deity. You crossed four levels in one try and received eight months of cultivation time. When you exit isolation, you might be able to cross the fifth level.”
Many cultivators crowded around him, praising him. After all, anyone could see that Wang Xu would mature into a top figure.
It was a type of pride to be able to become friends with someone like him.
…
Zhang Ruochen watched quietly and asked Feng Yan, ”What skill does crossing the Sea of Truth test?”
Feng Yan chuckled. ”Perhaps only a god can explain that clearly. However, according to data collected by some seniors, there are 17 elements that affect a cultivator's crossing.
”The most important elements are cultivation, Way of Truth, physical fitness, Spiritual Power, potential, perception, combat experience, and Rules of Saintly Way.
”There are also some less important factors, such as mindset, weapons, etc.”
”One's cultivation and knowledge of the Way of Truth should be the most important, right?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
”Correct.”
Feng Yan nodded. ”Wang Xu could cross the fourth level because this is his seventh time coming to the Truth Godly Palace.
”I calculated this earlier. He received seven spots to cultivate, which means seven months' time. Adding the seven months he received from the three levels that he'd crossed before, he gets 14 months in total.
”This means that Wang Xu can cultivate in the Truth Godly Palace 14 times longer than the average cultivator. I still haven't added in the time he gets from completing tasks for the Truth Godly Palace and the time he spent comprehending the images of the Way of Truth in the dojo.
”He's also the Deity, so he has far more resources than you can imagine. Thus, it's quite normal for him to have such achievements.”
So Zhang Ruochen asked, ”Then, what level did he reach when he first came to the Truth Godly Palace?”
”He reached the first obstacle but couldn't cross it,” Feng Yan said.
Hearing this reply, the people around Feng Yan were all relieved and felt better. So, even someone as crazy Wang Xu couldn't pass the first level on his first try.”
”However,” Feng Yan continued, ”Wang Xu was only an upper-level Saint at that time. You should know that cultivation realm has quite an effect on the Sea of Truth. Usually, a Saint's limit is the fourth level, a Saint King's limit is the seventh level, and a Supreme Saint's limit is the tenth level.”
”What do you mean?” the Spiritual Flame Demonic Concubine asked.
”I mean that no matter how much knowledge a Saint has in the Way of Truth, how strong or talented he is, how much potential he has, he can only reach the fourth level at most.”
”But didn't Wang Xu cross the fourth level and reach the fifth level?”
Chuckling, Feng Yan said, ”That's an exception. Only people who are qualified to become a god has a chance to break the limit. Without a doubt, Wang Xu is that kind of person.”
It wasn't easy to become a Supreme Saint.
Becoming a god was an insubstantial thing for the prides here. They would never reach it.
”Brother Zhang,” Feng Yan said. ”There's something else I must tell you. If you cross the first level during your first year, not only will you receive one month's time for cultivation, you'll also receive three spots as an extra reward.”
”What if I cross the second level?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
