"This… what is happening?" Xue Ying could not help but ask.
"The Substitute Elder position is a secret of our Xia Clan." The yellow-robed old man said, "I believe you should know about the elders of Xia Clan?"
Xue Ying nodded.
Elders of Xia Clan were sothing he certainly did know about! All the Demigods of humankind, as long as they did not belong to the Demonic Faction, the Bloodshed Tavern, or the Temple of the Earth God would have the qualifications to beco an elder of Xia Clan! The gathering of elders of Xia Clan… was actually sothing held at the highest level within the entire Xia Clan. They would control everything behind the Xia Clan in order to let the Xia Clan flourish onwards in the future.
"Our Xia Clan has a limited amount of resources, thus we cannot groom every single Transcendent." The yellow-robed old man said, "As such, since a very long ti ago, there is the plan of having ‘Substitute Elders’ where we would choose those amongst the Sky realm Transcendents with high potential to groom thoroughly. As long as this grooming is successful and that Transcendent achieves greatness, they will be an enormous aid to our Xia Clan! Those talents who are chosen usually have the hope of grasping a third grade True aning or even a second grade True aning. Thus, the mont they comprehended such a powerful True aning, the chances of becoming a Demigod would be great. Only with such Demigods can we continue to uphold the strength of the backbone of our Xia Clan!"
Xue Ying nodded.
Right.
Even between Demigods, the difference in comprehension of True aning would create a frightening world of different in their combat power.
Like the ‘Great Elder Ao Lan’ from the Beast Clan, the True aning he comprehended was the True aning of Life. Even though he did not condense a ‘True Deity Heart’, he was still the third in ranking within the Demigod rankings! At the sa ti, he was a huge headache to all the experts of humankind. That was because the ‘True aning of Life’ he comprehended was a grade three True aning!
With regard to the clan of any race, a true peak expert would be of a huge aid to the entire clan and race! Hence, the Xia Clan would also groom those with hopes of comprehending a grade three True aning or even those with possibility of comprehending a grade two True aning.
"What about ?" Xue Ying had so doubts, "Do the elders think I’ve the chance of comprehending a grade three True aning?"
"No."
The yellow-robed old man replied, "You are an exception."
"An exception?" Xue Ying was startled.
"Previously, we’ve chosen eight Transcendents to groom. Four amongst them had comprehended part of the Profound Mystery of Space! In the future, they might have hopes of obtaining a True aning related to Space!" The yellow-robed old man Gong Yu said, "One of them comprehended the Profound Mystery of Death, and one with the Profound Mystery of Life. One had comprehended the Profound Mystery of Extre Yang while the last grasped hold of so Profound Mystery related to ti."
Xue Ying was dumbfounded.
Xue Ying had long grasped hold of information from books related to the nine grades of True aning. This was sothing that all Transcendents should know.
Grade one True aning: True aning of Ti, True aning of Black Hole, True aning of Extremity, True aning of Chaos… these were legends amongst the legends. For instance, the True aning of Ti - in reality, under ordinary conditions, only those who were about to beco a Deity would have so comprehension regarding the Profound Mystery of Ti. Transcendents would usually be unable to comprehend anything related to the Profound Mystery of Ti. Unless one’s primordial bloodline awakening gave one the innate talent related to ti! Only then would one have the hope of comprehending the Profound Mystery of Ti.
Simply said, grade one True anings were the most perfect True anings in the countless worlds, including the Deity World or even the Dark Abyss.
Second grade True aning: True aning of Space, True aning of Yin Yang, True aning of Life Death, True aning of Annihilation, True aning of Reincarnation, of ti stop, ti acceleration, ti deceleration…
These were similarly True anings spoken in the legends. Those who could comprehend them were amazing experts. During a battle, if one side had extrely great power and speed, while the other side had soone who comprehended the True aning of ti stop, without a doubt, during this period of ti stop, he would be able to kill off all those enemies who were supposedly unstoppable!
Thus, the distances between comprehension of Realms were actually the distances between their essences.
Without true power, one would only be torn to death easily!
Third grade True aning: True aning of Void Cleavage, True aning of Space Destruction, of Teleportation, of Shadow Space… any branches related to space were usually of the grade three level of True aning. Other than that, there were the True aning of Death, True aning of Destruction, True aning of Life, True aning of Gravity, True aning of Extre Yin, True aning of Extre Yang, True aning of Waves…
…
Those of the top three grades were all extrely terrifying. Not counting the first and second grade, as long as one grasped and comprehended a grade three True aning, they would be able to control the world.
"Amongst these eight, there is one who had a ti-related understanding with hopes of reaching a grade two True aning." Xue Ying murmured, "The other seven had hopes of comprehending a grade three True aning. What about ? Why am I an exception?"
"Right now, you are able to fuse both Profound Mysteries of Water and Fire. In the future, you might have the chance of comprehending the grade four ‘True aning of Water and Fire’." The yellow-robed old man Gong Yu said.
"Grade four?" Xue Ying was stunned.
The others could comprehend a grade three or grade two while he only had hopes of comprehending a grade four?
"The other eight only have the hopes of comprehending." The yellow-robed old man continued, "Wanting to truly control a grade three or grade two True aning is actually very difficult. By our estimates, only two or three of the eight will succeed! As for those who might beco a Demigod, I will have to make a statent that if just one of them becos a Demigod, that would be impressive. As long as there’s a Demigod who comprehended a grade three True aning erging, our efforts in grooming them could be a considered a resounding success!"
"As for you! You’ve more than a 90 percent chances of controlling the True aning of Water and Fire!" The yellow-robed old man said, "Their chances are low while your chances are great! Even though it’s rely a grade four True aning, it’s enough already. Furthermore, you are still young, and you have the strong recomndation by Elder Chao Qing… thus, that’s why the motion was passed for you to beco a Substitute Elder."
He did not elaborate. In reality, that ti when the decision was made, only nine elders agreed with the decision with six going against it! This ratio was quite high as compared to usually, when choosing one with great talents, that choice would easily be decided.
"You’re still young. Who knows, you might even improve a step further from the True aning of Water and Fire to the True aning of Yin Yang," The yellow-robed old man Gong Yu said.
The understanding of a True aning could be said to be always changing.
Like the ‘True aning of Gravity’, it might even improve slowly until it reached the grade one ‘True aning of Black Hole’."
"You’re still young, and that’s the reason why most elders agreed." Gong Yu laughed, "Let’s go and et you fellow disciple brothers and sisters."
…
Flying in this world with undulating mountains, Gong Yu introduced Xue Ying to the place, "This group of mountains is known as the Scarlet Cloud Mountain range, thus giving rise to the na of ‘Scarlet Cloud Mountain World’ for this vast space… Because this clan protection Deity treasure was sent back by one of our ancestors of the Xia Clan, ‘Emperor Scarlet Cloud’."
"Emperor Scarlet Cloud." Xue Ying silently etched that na in his mind. It was because of these ancestors of Xia Clan who did not forget their holand even after becoming Deities and sent back these Deity treasures that the Xia Clan flourish and had the power to completely suppress the Beast Clan and Transcendent natives!
Hu.
"It’s just in front," Gong Yu pointed to the head of one of the mountains. That mountain was extrely beautiful, with mountain springs all around. Gu gu sounds could be heard from these springs. Fog could be seen surrounding the place, and bamboo houses could be seen beside the mountain springs.
"Usually, your disciple brothers and sisters would be found here." Gong Yu said.
"Senior Gong Yu" A sound was heard.
One of the mountain springs’ fog rapidly dissipated. On the empty ground stood nine figures. The one leading them was soone who was bright like the sun - a green-robed male. An unseen pressure emitted by him made the others feel awe.
"Faction Head." Xue Ying imdiately recognised him. That was actually the Faction head of his own Water Daoist Faction - Si Kong Yang!
"Faction Head Si Kong." Gong Yu greeted politely. His posture showing the lower status he had compared to Si Kong Yang. After all, Si Kong Yang was one of the human existences standing high up at the peak.
"Xue Ying, co stand over here," Si Kong Yang said.
"Yes." Xue Ying imdiately and obediently stood beside the other eight people. He understood that these were the other Transcendents who were being grood.
"Our Scarlet Cloud Mountain will have one more Transcendent from today on," Si Kong Yang said, "I’m sure you all should recognise him already - he is none other than Dong Bo Xue Ying, the one who just had his Transcendent Battle of Life and Death! Dong Bo Xue Ying ca here the latest, and would be the youngest disciple brother! During the next hundred years or so, you will all be cultivating together. I hope that you will treasure this disciple friendship you have with one another. In the future, if two or three amongst you beco a powerful Demigod, as one of your masters, I will feel extrely proud."
