NOVEL NEXT Chapter 747 In Fact, Before the Two of You, There Was Another Saint Realm
"He actually became a Saint Realm too?" Ao Shan was greatly surprised.
"That fellow spent even longer in seclusion than I did. He cultivated bitterly for fifty thousand years."
"He became a Saint before me?" Ao Shan frowned.
Ao Tian smiled and nodded. "Exactly."
Ao Shan sighed softly. "So be it. Xiang Yuan's strength is slightly above mine, and he is older as well. If he became a Saint before me, I will accept it."
Ao Tian gave an awkward smile. "In fact, before the two of you, there was already another Saint Realm."
"Who?" Ao Shan was stunned.
He listed a series of names.
All were Nine Tribulation Supremes who had entered seclusion tens of thousands of years ago.
Ao Tian shook his head repeatedly.
Ao Shan was shocked beyond measure.
Not any of them?
How could that be!
Becoming a Saint was not like picking cabbage!
Only a Nine Tribulation Supreme with deep accumulation had the qualification to strike at the Saint Realm!
This truth had long been common knowledge.
Seeing Ao Shan's look of astonishment, Ao Tian clearly felt quite pleased.
After a long while, he lightly coughed. "It was a human genius, named Shen Mo, the Profound Saint."
"If I am not mistaken, he should not yet be over one thousand years old."
Ao Shan's dragon eyes widened.
Within those bright vertical pupils flickered an incredulous light.
"Impossible!"
"A human not even one thousand years old, surpassing us Nine Tribulation Supremes to become a Saint first?!"
Ao Tian was astonished.
Ao Tian then laughed heartily. "It is truly so!"
"Brother, you have been in seclusion too long and do not know the situation in the Saintly Heaven and Earth."
"This Profound Saint's life is filled with miracles. Allow me to recount it to you slowly."
Ao Shan nodded. "Very well, speak slowly. To cultivate at such speed, I fear this person may have been corrupted by the demons…"
Such cases had indeed occurred before.
Some would remain unknown for years, then suddenly rise with astonishing talent.
The three races would rejoice and cultivate them with full support.
Only later would it be discovered that they had long been corrupted by the demons.
After many years of nurturing, the result was the creation of a Demon Supreme!
The Saints of every race were enraged, storming the Five Sacred Demon Kingdom several times and paying a heavy price before they finally slew that Demon Supreme.
That incident became an eternal scar in the hearts of the three races.
Especially for a dragon like Ao Shan, who had been in seclusion for tens of thousands of years. His understanding of the world remained fixed in the past.
Naturally, he was all the more wary.
Ao Tian shook his head again and again. "Brother, rest assured. This Profound Saint has already obtained the inheritance of the Great Wilderness Venerate. It is absolutely impossible for him to be tainted by demons."
"Come with me, and we will speak further."
"What?! The Great Wilderness Venerate's inheritance?!" Ao Shan was even more astonished.
Far more astonished than upon hearing that a human under one thousand years old had become a Saint before them!
…
Monster race, new Saint of the Myriad Phenomena Holy Land—Xiang Yuan!
Dragon race, new Saint of the Four Sacred Dragon Palace—Ao Shan!
One monster and one dragon, both stepping into the Saint Realm in succession.
At the instant they attained sainthood, every living being in the Saintly Heaven and Earth, no matter what they were doing, cheered with heartfelt joy.
Seven-colored auspicious clouds! Golden lotuses descending from the heavens! Resonant sounds of jade and gold! Soul-cleansing golden rain! …
All manner of visions spread across the skies of the Saintly Heaven and Earth, lingering without dispersing.
The appearance of these two new Saints shook every race, and celebrations spread everywhere.
Some believed it was Shen Mo's ascension to the Saint Realm that reopened the path for Supremes to break through.
Thus, two new Saints appeared one after another.
More people believed it was destiny itself, fortune in the unseen protecting the myriad races.
This also meant that the demons, like a malignant tumor across the worlds, would ultimately be destroyed!
Shen Mo sat cross-legged within the vast Mangcang Mountain Range, and he too noticed the vision of new Saints appearing. He could not help but feel surprised.
"To think that in such a short span, two new Saints have emerged."
"With this, how could the demons not be destroyed?"
His expression carried relief.
The myriad races of the heavens had all suffered deeply at the hands of the demons.
Though he did not yet have the strength to oppose the entire demon race alone, with two more Saint Realm experts on their side, he was naturally pleased.
…
In the distant void.
Many Saints who had been wandering outside also faintly sensed the birth of three new Saints.
They did not know exactly who they were, but they could feel this elusive presence.
Their hearts, too, were filled with comfort.
The three monster Saints—Divine Phoenix, Dragon Tortoise, and Heavenly Fox—were not far from the Saintly Heaven and Earth, and their perception was even stronger.
Dragon Tortoise chuckled, "It seems our monster race has gained a new Saint."
Heavenly Fox nodded. "It appears to be a descendant of the elephant clan."
Divine Phoenix said with satisfaction, "The younger generation is truly formidable."
Dragon Tortoise then said casually, "Better think of our own situation. How are we to rescue the Nine Yin Saint and Fu Zu?"
Heavenly Fox and Divine Phoenix were both at a loss.
Those two were heavily surrounded by Demon Saints.
If they forced their way in, they too would be trapped by the many Demon Saints.
Though they would not be slain in a short time, in the end it would simply mean losing three more Saints.
They were meant to be roaming the outside, seeking a permanent method to eradicate the demons.
Heavenly Fox spoke in a low voice. "Since three new Saints have appeared in the Saintly Heaven and Earth, perhaps we can borrow their strength."
Divine Phoenix nodded. "That could work. Heavenly Fox, you still have bloodline remnants. Pass the message along."
Heavenly Fox nodded, forced out a drop of essence blood, and whispered a few words.
Far away in the Saintly Heaven and Earth, Hu Qing was cultivating when his vision suddenly blurred.
At his ear, the faint whispers of Heavenly Fox carried from an extremely distant place.
Though the message was somewhat distorted across the vast distance, its general meaning was clear.
Hu Qing immediately rose and gathered the monster Supremes of the Blood God Court to discuss the matter.
Before long, Hu Qing respectfully presented the message before Shen Mo.
"The three monster Saints hope we will go to rescue Fu Zu and the Nine Yin Saint?"
Shen Mo seemed thoughtful.
Hu Qing said solemnly, "Indeed. My Heavenly Fox ancestor used essence blood to transmit his voice across space. For him to send such a message, the matter must be urgent. They require the aid of the three new Saints."
Shen Mo immediately nodded. "Very well. Please trouble Supreme Hu Qing to pass this message to the other two new Saints."
"I had already intended to meet them and grow acquainted."
The number of Saints was few, especially these three new ones who had all ascended within the Saintly Heaven and Earth.
They would surely encounter one another often in the future.
It was only natural to meet and become familiar.
"Yes, Hu Qing will surely deliver the message." Hu Qing bowed respectfully and departed at once.
A few days later.
Qianyuan Imperial Dynasty.
Shen Mo, Xiang Yuan, and Ao Shan met together.
The void fissure of the Qianyuan Imperial Dynasty could directly open upon the distant void plains farthest from the Saintly Heaven and Earth.
Thus, the three chose this place to gather.
As soon as Xiang Yuan saw Shen Mo, his eyes lit up and he praised him repeatedly.
"I had long heard Xiang Gu speak of you many times, but I was in seclusion too long, in urgent need of understanding the changes of the myriad worlds, and could not leave."
"Now that I meet you in person, you are truly extraordinary! Worthy indeed of being one who gained the inheritance of the Great Wilderness Venerate!"
With such an attitude from Xiang Yuan, Shen Mo could not help but smile. "Elder Xiang Yuan flatters me."
