Chapter 421: The Words of the Sub-Sage, the Way to Become a Saint (Part 2)
But there was a doubt in their hearts, why was the Primordial Heavenly Dao so fond of the Human Clan, yet did not want a Saint to emerge from it?
They couldn't figure it out, and Di Jun did not explain it either. He too was puzzled. The only reason he could think of was these four words: 'Man triumphs over Heaven!'
Yet in the Primordial times, could it be that if a Saint emerged from the Human Clan, they could triumph over Heaven?
Di Jun suppressed all the speculations in his heart, once again raising his regard for the Human Clan another level.
"What exactly is the realm that the Demon Emperor spoke of that surpasses the Quasi-Saint?"
Fu Xi asked.
"The Human Clan's fate can nurture a Saint, but if it is divided, a Saint cannot emerge. This too is the highest realm I can calculate that you can attain."
"Sub-Saint!"
Di Jun said calmly.
"Sub-Saint?"
Nuwa Saint and Fu Xi both whispered simultaneously.
Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan nodded gently and continued, "Beyond the Quasi-Saint but below the Saint is what can be called the Sub-Saint."
"You can refer to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm created by fellow Daoist Tai Ching. It is a transition between the Golden Immortal and the Daluo Golden Immortal. Nowadays, it has also become an official realm."
"However, unlike that, becoming a Sub-Saint and trying to become a Saint is similarly extremely difficult. It is indeed an advancement in realm cultivation and power, but it is not a transitional realm."
Hearing this, Nuwa Saint and Fu Xi found themselves more at ease about this opportunity.
But whether it was Fu Xi or Nuwa Saint, they both knew very well that a Sub-Saint, being second only to a Saint, was undeniably a significant advancement in cultivation realm.
Even if Fu Xi taught a Human Emperor, it might not necessarily reach such a level.
"Thank you, Demon Emperor, for the information."
Fu Xi said calmly.
Di Jun kept his eyes on Fu Xi and, after a moment of contemplation, finally said, "With humanity flourishing, if the Emperor Xi wishes to take advantage of this to become a Saint, it's not without opportunity."
Di Jun's words once again caught the attention of both Nuwa Saint and Fu Xi.
Nuwa Saint's expression was no longer calm. She looked at Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan, opened her mouth but did not speak, instead shifting her gaze to Fu Xi.
This was a tremendous opportunity for her elder brother, and it was best left to him to decide for himself.
Fu Xi's expression was equally unsettled, his eyes filled with unprecedented excitement.
His heart couldn't help but rejoice, thankful that he had resolutely chosen the Demon Clan and the Demon Emperor; otherwise, how could he have had such an opportunity?
Sub-Saint, how could it compare with a true Saint?
Without any hesitation, Fu Xi immediately stood up, bowed to Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan, and said, "Please, Demon Emperor, teach me. Fu Xi will be eternally grateful."
Neither Nuwa Saint nor Fu Xi doubted Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan, as Donghuang Taiyi stood as the best example.
Di Jun showed no change in expression due to Fu Xi's actions and continued to speak calmly.
"Emperor Xi, no need to be so polite. This matter needs to be tied to the affairs of the Human Clan Emperor to have a chance of success."
Hearing this, Fu Xi hesitated and asked, "But do I need to leave the Demon Clan and reincarnate as a member of the Human Clan?"
"If so, please, Demon Emperor, do not say more. I believe that within the Demon Clan, under the leadership of the Demon Emperor, I can still find a method of becoming a Saint."
The opportunity that the Demon Emperor just mentioned to become a Saint made Fu Xi more determined in his decision to stay within the Demon Clan.
Di Jun naturally understood Fu Xi's intentions and gently shook his head, saying, "Indeed, it is to be reborn into the Human Clan, but it is not to leave the Demon Clan."
Seeing Nuwa Saint and Fu Xi still puzzled, he said directly, "I have some understanding of the Law of Destiny and can obscure the fate trajectory of the Emperor Xi, fabricating new fate trajectories, ensuring he does not leave the Demon Clan but is reborn as a Human Clan creature."
"Under such circumstances, the fate of the Human Clan can perceive that the Emperor Xi is a Human Clan creature, thus allowing him to smoothly become a Human Emperor."
Regarding Di Jun's method, Fu Xi did not have much reaction, but quietly pondered the possibility.
Meanwhile, Nuwa, standing aside, was greatly astonished. It seemed not merely obscuring her brother's fate trajectory but to some extent changing it.
Nuwa Saint naturally possessed insights into the Law of Destiny. She could also alter the fate of creatures.
The weaker the creature, the more thoroughly she could use the Law of Destiny to transform it, even turning a very ordinary mortal into a minor prodigy, completely controlling their life from birth to death.
However, for a powerful being of the Quasi-Saint realm like her brother, the influence she had using the Law of Destiny was minimal, less effective than intervening directly herself.
Now hearing Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan mention so offhandedly that he could obscure her brother's fate trajectory and fabricate it, Nuwa was almost incredulous.
Destiny is elusive, and comprehending it is difficult, which was a common acknowledgment among the Primordial Saints.
"Can the Demon Emperor really obscure my brother's fate trajectory and fabricate it?"
Di Jun nodded while looking at Nuwa Saint with a tranquil expression, saying, "Naturally, there is no falsehood."
Nuwa Saint, hearing these words, was momentarily at a loss for words.
She did not know how Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan would achieve this, so she could only maintain silence.
At this moment, Fu Xi too understood the difficulty involved, but since it was a Saintly opportunity, if there was truly a chance, how could he give it up?
Moreover, all his concerns had been largely addressed by the Demon Emperor.
"May I ask, Demon Emperor, does this mean I can leverage the flourishing of the Human Clan to gain the opportunity to become a Saint?"
Fu Xi asked, looking at the Demon Emperor.
Di Jun gently shook his head and said, "Not so, as I have mentioned, merely relying on the opportunity within the flourishing of the Human Clan only allows one to reach the realm of a Sub-Saint."
Speaking to this point, Di Jun paused before continuing, "What's truly crucial is your detached identity from the Demon Clan."
"As an emperor of the Human Clan, you can influence their fate to some extent. As the Demon Emperor, I can control the fate of the Demon Clan."
"The two of us can prevent the fates of the two clans from conflicting."
"At that time, by combining the power of both clans' fates, you may very well become a Saint."
Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan stated.
Fu Xi and Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan locked eyes, as if seeing into the boundless future together.
Nuwa, upon hearing this, felt that the method to become a Saint seemed very familiar, prompting her to frown and speak up.
"The Demon Emperor's method seems like the method of condensing fate. Ancestor Dragon, Primordial Phoenix, and Primordial Qilin once tried to use this method to achieve the status of Primordial Chaos Great Luo Golden Immortal, but they all failed."
Di Jun did not refute this but nodded and said, "Indeed, but this method is not suitable for achieving the status of Primordial Chaos Great Luo Golden Immortal."
"Fate is closely connected to the Primordial World. Attempting to condense fate to become a Saint is the method of becoming a Saint through fate."
"I'm sure Wa Emperor is very clear about this difference."
Nuwa Saint nodded, as a Saint, she naturally understood the distinction.
The Primordial Chaos Great Luo Golden Immortal is carefree, even detached from the constraints of the Primordial World.
Relying on Primordial Fate to achieve the status of Primordial Chaos Great Luo Golden Immortal is akin to robbing the Primordial World to accomplish one's own path without wanting to pay any cost.
But a Saint is different, their status is exalted, seemingly free yet intricately linked with the Primordial World, where they rise and fall together, and to some extent, are restricted.
Even with this, there are countless beings who strive to ascend to the position of Saint.
"The Ancestor Dragon, Primordial Phoenix, and Primordial Qilin of the past ignored the times and acted recklessly, hence they failed. Now, by relying on the fates of the Demon Clan and the Human Clan, Emperor Xi might be able to become the first fate Saint in the Primordial World."
Di Jun said.
Upon hearing this, Fu Xi understood, leveraging the fate of both the Human and Demon Clans to become a fate Saint.
"However, this matter is not easily accomplished; there are also many hurdles, and it will depend on how Emperor Xi handles it."
Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan stated once more.
