Chapter 1584: Chapter 1474
Master Hongjun’s eyes imdiately widened, staring at Lv Zhong with a peculiar expression.
Obviously, he was also shocked by Lv Zhong’s arrogant words.
Facing a Venerable Sage, he actually claid he might not lose?
What kind of a weirdo would dare to boast like this!
In truth, it wasn’t just Master Hongjun who was stunned—even the observing Lotus Master, Sword Ancestor, Knife Master, Mixed Silkworm Ancestor, and the other Venerable Sages felt their minds struck by rolling heavenly thunder.
If Lv Zhong was truly capable of holding his own against the Creator of Light and Honor as he claid, did that an Lv Zhong might not lose to them either?
“Damn—”
Knife Master swore rudely in his heart, truly feeling like his brain was on the verge of overload and that Lv Zhong was ridiculously arrogant—arrogant to an infinite degree.
After all, this kid was only at the Level 2 Middle Stage Sage Realm. Even if his cultivation talent were monstrously exceptional, it was absolutely impossible for him to cultivate to the Venerable Sage Realm in just a few thousand years. Even with a ti-accelerating personal cultivation magical treasure, Lv Zhong still wouldn’t reasonably be able to break through to the Venerable Sage Realm in re tens of billions of years.
If breaking through to the Venerable Sage Realm were really that easy, wouldn’t All Heavens and Myriad Realms be crawling with Venerable Sages, and Level 7 Sages wouldn’t even qualify as dogs?
You must understand, a universe at most produces just one Venerable Sage.
The Venerable Sage would either be the universe’s creator, like Pangu,
or a representative left behind after the universe’s creator has either perished or ascended, like Master Hongjun.
Creators are the most powerful, capable of reaching Level 9 Sage status.
Representatives, in contrast, are relatively weaker, typically Level 8 Venerable Sages. Of course, so representatives with exceptional talent and destiny might forcibly harmonize with the cosmic dao and reach Level 9, though their realm may not be perfect.
The surviving creators are exceedingly few. Even if they survive, they could be severely injured, potentially weaker than an average Level 8 Venerable Sage. However, as long as they live, such Venerable Sages can still strive for Level 9 Sage Realm. So even have the potential to ascend and achieve proof of godhood.
Among the Venerable Sages present here!
Aside from the Creator of Light and Honor and Mixed Silkworm Ancestor, almost all were representatives of their respective universes rather than their creators.
Naturally, the Creator of Light and Honor and Mixed Silkworm Ancestor had the greatest potential, and both were Level 9 Venerable Sages.
The remaining Knife Master, Sword Ancestor, and Lotus Master were rely Level 8 peak Sages.
Master Hongjun had barely succeeded in harmonizing with the dao, and his strength was that of a Level 9 Venerable Sage, though his potential was weaker than that of Mixed Silkworm Ancestor or the Creator of Light and Honor.
However, perhaps due to his limited potential and aptitude, Master Hongjun’s mindset was the most serene. In contrast, both the Creator of Light and Honor and Mixed Silkworm Ancestor—due to their superior aptitude and destiny—possessed the arrogance and pride of those who aspired to proof of godhood and ascension to the Holy God Realm. As a result, they harbored disdain for others, making their mindsets difficult to achieve perfect serenity.
For these reasons, the strength of the three was practically on par!
Knife Master, Sword Ancestor, Lotus Master, however, lagged far behind the trio by one or two stages at least.
Now, Lv Zhong’s sheer arrogance wasn’t just an affront to the Creator of Light and Honor—it also inadvertently insulted the other Venerable Sages. After all, Knife Master and the rest honestly couldn’t compare to the Creator of Light and Honor!
At this mont, Knife Master and Sword Ancestor’s perception of Lv Zhong had plumted to rock bottom.
Even Lotus Master furrowed her brows slightly, though her close relationship with Master Hongjun allowed her to quickly set aside any resentnt towards Lv Zhong.
Only Mixed Silkworm Ancestor appeared entirely unaffected. On the contrary, he felt Lv Zhong’s personality suited him perfectly.
If Lv Zhong’s strength and realm weren’t so low, Mixed Silkworm Ancestor might have even been tempted to form a kinship bond with him as sworn brothers.
“Alright! Since you have your own thoughts, I won’t interfere. Regardless, rember one thing: you are my disciple as long as I am Master Hongjun. If anyone dares act recklessly, your master will naturally stand up for you!” Master Hongjun’s voice suddenly grew louder, evidently speaking for the ears of the Creator of Light and Honor, who was currently engaged in enlightennt.
Yet, it seed the Creator of Light and Honor was truly imrsed in the realm of enlightennt, as he gave no reaction whatsoever.
Seeing Master Hongjun’s staunch support, Lv Zhong felt a surge of warmth, his respect for the Taoist Ancestor deepening. He then turned to glance at the Creator of Light and Honor, raised his eyebrows, smiled proudly, and said, “Thank you, Master! But even if soone acts recklessly, I am not so easily bullied. Please rest assured!”
“Haha! Little Lv Zhong, well done! Truly well done! Such courage! I’m quite impressed by you!” Mixed Silkworm Ancestor walked over, laughing heartily, patting Lv Zhong’s shoulder, and said, “No more nonsense. It’s your first ti here—go over to the Enlightennt God Stele quickly and take a closer look. Perhaps you’ll encounter a stroke of destiny—”
Without waiting for Lv Zhong to reply, Mixed Silkworm Ancestor swiftly moved away, positioning himself on the other side of the Enlightennt God Stele, where he sat cross-legged.
Lv Zhong’s impression of this Venerable Sage imdiately rose further.
Lv Zhong, ever sensitive, could sense that aside from his master, only the inherently arrogant and free-spirited Mixed Silkworm Ancestor held no prejudice against him.
It should be noted that Mixed Silkworm Ancestor and Master Hongjun never had a particularly close relationship.
The fact he treated Master Hongjun’s disciple so warmly spoke volus about his extraordinary character. This greatly increased Lv Zhong’s admiration for Mixed Silkworm Ancestor.
“Alright, enough talk. Our purpose for coming to the Mysterious Star this ti is the Enlightennt God Stele associated with the Sacred Immortal Ascension Platform. Each of you should choose a spot to communicate with the Enlightennt God Stele as best you can. Whatever insights or opportunities you find will depend on your destiny…” Master Hongjun’s whisk appeared out of nowhere, waving twice in the air as he led his disciples towards another direction by the Enlightennt God Stele.
The Enlightennt God Stele!
Enormous beyond imagination!
It soared thousands of zhang high, its surface engraved with infinite Saint Marks and divine inscriptions.
The entire God Stele also counted as a cultivation treasure, albeit one not originally crafted as such.
Infused with divine essence, the God Stele was barely qualified as a divine artifact.
This Enlightennt God Stele was left behind by the Void Clear God before ascending to the Holy God Realm.
Legends say it contains the secrets of the Void Clear God’s proof of godhood.
Moreover, it holds the cultivation insights and reflections of the Void Clear God throughout his life!
For these reasons, countless Venerable Sages and Sages yearn to remain here for years, cultivating and seeking enlightennt in hopes of obtaining the Void Clear God’s inheritance.
At the very least, they hope to uncover the secret of the Void Clear God’s ascension to the Holy God Realm.
Three hundred billion years have passed, during which the Void Clear God was the only powerhouse to ascend to the Holy God Realm!
Since the Void Clear God’s successful ascension one billion years ago, all subsequent Venerable Sages have flocked to the Mysterious Star with their Sage disciples in tow, practically worshiping at the core of this mystical planet, where they cultivate and seek enlightennt.
Of course, nearly every Venerable Sage and Sage refining their dao here seems to gain significant insights.
So even notice incrental increases in their strength.
However, what drives Venerable Sages mad is that no matter how much their strength improves, they remain unable to summon their Divine Tribulation.
Even if their tribulation is summoned, they fail to transcend it, leaving them incapable of ascending to the Holy God Realm.
Countless Venerable Sages believe the reflections left behind by the Void Clear God are helpful but suspect the stele conceals its most vital details.
This only fuels their collective obsession to mine the Enlightennt God Stele for its deepest secrets.
Yet, no matter how these sages search or attempt to comprehend, they always fall short, unable to unravel its mysteries.
Nonetheless, the sages tolerate this frustration. They think perhaps their own destiny is insufficiently strong, which is why they bring more Sage disciples here, hoping so destined prodigy among their ranks might unlock the Void Clear God’s true inheritance…
