Mo Wuji asked, "Why are there only eight Sages in the universe? Why can't they be added or subtracted? "
Meng Ye answered, "This is a long story so let me explain it briefly. When the universe first separated, the Laws of Heaven and Earth were the clearest. It was also the easiest to cultivate at this time. Just like … when the God World was restored, the cultivation environment was similar to the time when the universe first separated. Thus, during that period of time, everyone's cultivation speed was extremely fast. However, as compared to the time when the universe first separated, the cultivation environment of the God World was still much, much worse. Thus, many experts were born during the time when the universe first separated. "
"Dao Friend Meng, you're saying that the eight Sages were experts during the time when the universe first separated? Even you? "Mo Wuji asked again.
Meng Ye shook his head, "It was true that Sages were born during the time when the universe first separated. However, those Sages had already turned to dust in the long river of time. I'm also not an expert during the time when the universe first separated. The current eight Sages were all latecomers. They had their own opportunities and obtained their own fate during the time when the universe first separated. They became experts. "
"Why are there only eight?"
"Because of the restrictions of the laws of the universe, the eight Sages had already pushed the laws of the universe to the limit. The moment the ninth Sage appears, the laws of the Heaven and Earth would immediately suppress and crush him into nothingness. "
Hearing Meng Ye's explanation, Mo Wuji's heart jumped. This was the suppression of the Heavenly Dao? In other words, no matter how strong his Mortal Dao was, he would never be able to advance to the Sage Stage. The moment he stepped into the Sage Stage, he would be suppressed by the Heavenly Dao and die?
Soon, Mo Wuji cast this thought aside. He cultivated the Mortal Dao so he wouldn't be suppressed by the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao could suppress Sages and Gods but it couldn't suppress a mortal like him.
No matter how experienced Meng Ye was, he wouldn't be able to see through Mo Wuji's thoughts. He continued, "Among the eight Sages that obtained the God Throne, Red Lotus was just there to make up the numbers …"
"Who is Red Lotus?" Mo Wuji wanted to ask.
Meng Ye drew a green robed woman standing on a red lotus, "She is Red Lotus. Because the fate of the universe was split, there should be a God Throne in the universe. Under the methods of the other Sages, that Red Lotus became the eighth Sage and was called the Sage Nun. Even though she is not good at scheming, she is aware of her own weaknesses. Thus, she rarely interacts with the other Sages and has always lived alone in the Sage Nun Pool. "
So that green-robed Sage Nun's true form was a red lotus ah. Mo Wuji nodded. He finally understood why he was able to escape from under that woman's nose.
"In order to break through the Quasi-Sage realm and step into the Sage realm, do we have to wait for one of the eight Sages to fall?" Even though Mo Wuji guessed that he wouldn't be suppressed by the Dao Laws of the Universe after advancing to the Sage Stage, he still asked.
Meng Ye nodded his head, "That's right. Once a sage dies, even a quasi-sage would be able to sense it."
"Then you sensed that Huan Ti had fallen?" Mo Wuji didn't really trust Meng Ye's words.
Meng Ye blushed, "I almost died too. My cultivation level dropped to the extreme. That's why I can't sense if the sage has fallen or not."
"In other words, you're not a Quasi-Saint yet?" Mo Wuji's heart jolted. If Meng Ye was in the Unity God Stage just like him and was not a Quasi-Sage, then how terrifying would a Sage be?
"This clone of mine has just stepped into the Quasi-Sage Stage. If I'm unable to obtain the Phecda Clay, then I will only be able to remain in the elementary Quasi-Sage Stage for the rest of my life. Now that the World-Ending Cataclysm is approaching, the universe is extremely chaotic and blurry. Thus, there are many things that I can't sense. "
Mo Wuji reluctantly accepted Meng Ye's explanation, "There's still a small question that I would like to ask you."
"Dao Friend Mo, feel free to ask. You and I are working together. Your matter is my matter." Meng Ye patted his chest as he spoke in a high-spirited tone.
Mo Wuji didn't believe Meng Ye's words, "Dao Friend Meng, I would like to ask you a question. How do I become a Sage? Do I obtain a God Throne after becoming a Sage or do I have to obtain a God Throne before becoming a Sage? "
When Meng Ye heard Mo Wuji's question, he laughed bitterly, "Dao Friend Mo, this question of yours isn't simple. I'm not willing to tell ordinary people. Even master and disciple wouldn't easily … "
Mo Wuji waved his hand, "Dao Friend Meng, if you find it difficult, then you don't have to say it. To me, it doesn't matter whether I know or not."
Meng Ye hurried to say, "It's alright. I might not be able to tell others, but to Dao Friend Mo, there's nothing I can't say. Firstly, the God Throne comes after the Sage Stage. To become a Quasi-Sage, the Unity God Stage is a heavenly chasm. To do so, one must first perfect one's own Dao Laws and one's own world. There are thousands of ways for a Quasi-Sage to become a Sage. However, there are only a few ways to succeed. "
"What do you mean?" Mo Wuji furrowed his brows.
Meng Ye explained, "According to the boundless Laws of the Heavenly Dao, any Dao in the universe can become a Sage. However, there are only a few ways to succeed. "
Mo Wuji came to an understanding. One was in theory, while the other was in reality. He didn't know who came up with that theory, but it was merely a conjecture.
Meng Ye was an incomparably astute person. The moment he saw Mo Wuji's expression, he chuckled and said, "Dao Friend Mo, you must be thinking that the vast Laws of the Heavenly Dao saying that any Dao in the universe could allow one to step into the Sage Stage is just an assumption, right?"
"Isn't it?"
"No, because when the Primordial Universe was first formed, the Laws of Heaven and Earth were clear. Countless living beings could step on the path of Dao. When the universe was first formed, their growth rate was extremely fast. At that time, there were countless experts in the universe who became Sages. However, the Dao Laws of the Universe were limited. If one wanted to become an eternal Sage, he would need to destroy those who were competing with him for the Dao Laws of the Universe. Thus, the first Primordial Cataclysm appeared. Countless experts fought and countless fell. Even the fall of Sages was extremely common … "Meng Ye explained.
Mo Wuji nodded and didn't ask any questions.
Meng Ye continued, "Now, it's naturally not as easy to become a Sage. The most famous Sage Dao is to sever the three corpses. "
"Dao Friend Meng should have severed the three corpses, right?" Mo Wuji sized up this clone of Meng Ye. He suspected that this clone should be a corpse that Meng Ye severed.
Meng Ye shook his head in self-mockery, "No, if I could sever the three corpses, I wouldn't be sitting here."
He didn't explain himself. Instead, he continued, "Also, there's the dao of fortune. That Huan Ti is a Sage in the Gods Tower. Thus, as long as he doesn't obtain the Gods Tower, he wouldn't be able to become a Sage. This is also the reason why I dared to work with you to deal with Huan Ti. "
"You're saying that if Huan Ti really became a Sage, you wouldn't dare to plot against him?" Mo Wuji looked at Meng Ye and asked.
Meng Ye laughed coldly, "Dao Friend Mo, your talent is extremely high and you're extremely strong. However, no matter how strong you are, if you're not in the Sage Stage, you would still be courting death if you plot against a Sage. "
"You're saying that only Sages can deal with Sages. Otherwise, they would definitely die?" Mo Wuji didn't think much of it. He believed that if he stepped into the intermediate and advanced Quasi-Sage Stage, he should be able to deal with Sages.
Meng Ye went silent. After some time, he said, "It's not certain death. However, the chances of success are extremely slim. There was indeed a successful example. A fella in the elementary Unity God Stage successfully plotted against Sage Tong Ming. "
"Tell me about other Sage Dao methods." Mo Wuji knew that if he continued speaking, Meng Ye might be afraid of working with him to deal with Huan Ti.
Meng Ye also didn't intend to continue talking about plotting against Sages. "There's also using one's own world to corroborate the dao, using one's own dao laws to corroborate the dao, using oneself to transform the dao etc. There are many ways to corroborate the dao but I only know a tiny bit of it. Even though I'm one of the three Rogue Sages, I'm still 108,000 miles away from becoming a Sage. "
"Do you know how to return to God World?" Mo Wuji asked about Sages mainly because he wanted to deal with Huan Ti. Now that he had a rough understanding of the situation, he was more anxious to return to God World.
Meng Ye stood up, "There are many similar planes in God World. However, I know which one you're talking about. Let's go, I'll lead the way. "
…
Meng Ye merely spent an incense's time to bring Mo Wuji and Yue Ming to a void island. After arriving, Mo Wuji found out that Meng Ye actually installed a void transfer array here. From the looks of it, this fella was prepared to return to God World at any moment.
The three of them used the transfer array to a rippling array gate at the periphery of God World. After flying for ten days, Mo Wuji's spiritual will had already scanned the location of God World.
The place where Meng Ye entered God World was the same as the place where Mo Wuji left God World. From the looks of it, Nirvana Learning Academy wasn't the only one who knew about this place.
During these ten days, Mo Wuji asked Yue Ming about the Gods Tower. He found out that Ji Li also came to God World through the Tao Tie Valley.
From the looks of it, the Tao Tie Valley should be a world boundary between God World and Immortal World. If he rescued Ji Li, he could return to Immortal World to take a look.
