BXBX NOVEL Chapter 130 The Saint Realm
ALTHOUGH YANG LUJIA learned that Saints form crowns to increase their cultivation levels, he did not know the fact that Saints were also divided into three in terms of how well they comprehended their rules. The more crowns they have, the more it is proof that they are more proficient in the rules they comprehend compared to other people.
While they were on their way to the main sect’s grounds, Elder Sun Ling spared some effort to explain to Yang Lujia about the Saints. She even told him about their sect master’s cultivation level—being at the peak of the Saint Realm.
“So, he has nine crowns, I assumed?” Yang Lujia asked as they slowly flew toward the main sect’s direction. “I heard that a peak Saint has nine crowns.”
“Yes,” she replied.
“But why are you telling me this information, though? What if I strike the sect all of a sudden and kill everyone in your sect?” Yang Lujia asked, skeptical of her change of attitude..
“Well, I don’t think you’d believe me but what if I’ll say it’s just my intuition? You know, while we’re flying to the main grounds now, the more you talked, the more I found you not irritating at all. It seems like you’re a kind young man. My first impression must have been wrong and besides, don’t underestimate a woman’s intuition!” she answered, her eyes narrowing as she smiled. “Pardon my words earlier, though. I did not mean to say some bad things to you. It’s just that, lately, there have been several issues about other sects spying on one another because of the upcoming Heavenly Selection. I think it’s one of the reasons why they’re doing this, so we were being attentive and cautious to people like you who’d appear out of nowhere.”
“Heavenly Selection? That’s quite a name, huh?” Yang Lujia muttered and asked, “What’s the connection with them spying on your sect, though?”
“As I’ve said, it is or may be because of the upcoming Heavenly Selection. They probably want to rope in some capable disciples from other sects and absorb them into their own. Because the more talented disciples they can represent during the Heavenly Selection, the more rewards they will get.”
“I see. Other than that, I can also guess that the sects do not want to be overpowered by another, right?” Yang Lujia pondered and stared at her.
“Yes, that’s true. Our sect master and the other sect masters are always at odds with each other. I heard from father that it is rooted in our ancestors’ history where they fought because of a woman.”
“What the… that’s quite petty if I were to say so…”
“Right?” Elder Sun Ling agreed tacitly. “However, I believe that it’s not just about our ancestors being hostile against one another. It might be because of deeper reasons.”
“I can also guess that it may be because of greed. Every sect here in this specific region has its own heritage, right? Like some inheritance or treasury wherein it would help the others rise if they can make these theirs,” Yang Lujia once again surmised.
“What you’re saying is also not impossible,” she replied. “Anyway, let’s get to the main topic about Saints. You want to learn more about the Saint Realm and some other stuff, right?”
“Do you have a library in the main sect, though? I can just go there and learn more from there.”
However, before he even went there, he was already provided with enough information by Elder Sun Ling, except for the realm above the Saint Realm, because she did not know about it yet.
Apparently, Saint Realm is the cultivation realm where the cultivators are able to comprehend rules after forming a crown. They can be considered half-step Saints if they can grasp the nature of rules. But if they were not able to condense or form a crown yet, they haven’t truly become Saints at that stage.
“As I’ve said earlier, there are three tiers in which the Saint Realm is divided. You are called a Saint Disciple if you have one to three crowns. If you were able to condense four to six crowns then, you will be called a Saint Master. Beyond the number of six crowns, you will be hailed as a Grandmaster Saint. In this specific region, Grandmaster Saint is the known strongest cultivation realm attained by cultivators, in which case, one of these cultivators is our sect master.”
“So, that’s how it is. But what if you were able to form more than nine crowns, like you have condensed ten or eleven or even more, what would they be called? You said that the ninth crown is the peak a Saint could condense, right?”
“I’ve heard legends about it. In the records, they are called the Supreme Saints, like geniuses among geniuses. There are even legends about people being able to comprehend several rules the moment they entered the Saint Realm. You know, unless you comprehend the rules, you can’t see them or control them for your own.”
“Wait, I am bewildered about something, though,” Yang Lujia said, rendering her silent. “I noticed that some rules are faint in color while the others are denser. Do rules also have some sort of tiers like the division of the Saint Realm?”
“I don’t know. I haven’t experienced or heard something like that.” Elder Sun Ling was more baffled about the question posed by Yang Lujia. “Dum Gai, can you really see the differences in their colors’ density? As for me, I can’t see anything. They’re all the same to my eyes.”
‘Perhaps it’s because of my purple eyes? I really have no idea how these purple eyes of mine came to be. I don’t remember Fortuniel giving me this throughout my journey so far. I noticed my purple eyes when that old man of mine told me about it after he brought me away from that war.’ He was quiet as he looked around the place, his eyesight as though piercing through space.
ɴ[0)ᴠᴇʟ ‘This might be a backward region and quite big for being one. Anyhow, although the information I can get from here may be limited, at least I was able to learn some things.’
His eyesight was limited to only a number of miles. Unlike in Da Sishen or Da Shenghou where the realm was much smaller, the realm here was bigger and hence he couldn’t oversee everything with his mental power alone. It seemed like the more he went to a higher realm, the more his abilities were limited.
While his thoughts were moving from one to another, Elder Sun Ling woke him up from his trance. “Dum Gai, we’re here now. This is the main sect of our Saber Path Sect!”
“Huh?” Yang Lujia reacted as he witnessed the strange architectural structure of the Saber Path Sect. “It’s like there are five large sabers jabbed into the ground?”
