"He succeeded?"
Even though Tongtian was one of the Three Pure Ones, he was extremely surprised when he saw that Ye Xuan had actually succeeded in stepping into the 9th level of the Allheaven Realm, and his gaze towards Ye Xuan was filled with shock.
How long had it been?
Tongtian couldn't remember!
However, Tongtian vaguely remembered that he was merely a Daluo Jinxian when he hadn't become a Saint, but he'd cultivated in the Daluo Jinxian for an entire 10 million years before stepping into the Quasi Saint Realm.
Just when Tongtian was immersed in shock, a strange feeling arose from the bottom of his heart, and it caused Tongtian to instantly wake up and suddenly look towards Ye Xuan.
"How audacious!"
Tongtian suddenly rebuked furiously while extremely terrifying killing intent appeared in the depths of his eyes. Because Tongtian had finally sensed that a portion of his cultivation had actually been lost, and this portion of his cultivation had been devoured by Ye Xuan.
"You actually dared to scheme against me. How audacious of you."
When a Saint was enraged, all things would be annihilated. This was absolutely not just a saying, but Tongtian had never imagined that Ye Xuan would actually be so audacious. He didn't know what sort of secret technique or ability Ye Xuan had utilized to actually devour a portion of his cultivation, and he'd only noticed it now.
Om!
Space and time changed while the heavens and the earth warped. Tongtian's expression was cold and furious as a strand of chaotic light bloomed from his palm and slapped down towards Ye Xuan. It was as if Ye Xuan would perish at his hands in the next moment.
Wu!
Suddenly, time and space froze and the primal chaos light dissipated. In the end, the Grandmaster of Heaven's palm didn't land. However, his expression was unsettled, and the way he looked at Ye Xuan was extremely complicated.
"What an audacious kid. You actually dared to scheme against a Saint. Then I, Tongtian, will see exactly how far you'll grow after devouring a portion of my cultivation." Tongtian spoke coldly.
At this moment!
Ye Xuan sat cross-legged in the void. His flesh and blood were plump, and his body looked as if it was forged from Vajra. The Indestructible Primordial Spirit in his sea of consciousness had expanded by one size, and the aura around him was surging wildly.
Early stage of the Ninth Heavenly Layer, Middle stage of the Ninth Heavenly Layer, Late stage of the Ninth Heavenly Layer. Borrowing a portion of Tongtian's cultivation, Ye Xuan directly raised his cultivation to the peak of the Ninth Heavenly Layer. He was only one step away from entering the Sage-to-be Realm.
Puff!
A mouthful of blood sprayed out from Ye Xuan's mouth. The Origin Immortal Light around him suddenly collapsed, and his imposing aura vanished without a trace. He fell from the sky and smashed into the ground.
"Hehe!"
Suddenly, the Grandmaster of Heaven slowly walked over. The corners of his mouth curled into a teasing smile as he looked at Ye Xuan with a mocking gaze.
"I have to say that you're really crafty. You even dared to scheme against a Saint and have great ambitions to enter the Sage-to-be Realm in one fell swoop."
Tongtian's smile disappeared as he spoke. His eyes were abnormally deep as he continued, "But you're underestimating the Sage-to-be Realm. If one could enter the Sage-to-be Realm by merely increasing their cultivation, how many Sage-to-be Realm have there been since the beginning of the world?"
Huff — Huff — Huff.
Ye Xuan slowly got up from the ground. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth as he panted heavily. There was a hint of disappointment in his eyes as he fell silent.
Just as Tongtian had said, if one could enter the Sage-to-be Realm by merely increasing their cultivation, then the Sage-to-be Realm was too worthless.
It should be known that Sage-to-be and Immortals were on two different levels of life. This was also the so-called difference between Immortals and Sages. Entering the Sage-to-be Realm was not only a reflection of one's cultivation but also a sublimation of one's soul.
The Western Buddha Duobao Rulai, Mahamayuri Kong Xuan, the insufferably ferocious Demonic Roc, and even the so-called Immortal Elder of the South Pole and the Ghost Emperor of the Netherworld had lived for countless years. However, they were only at the peak of the Grand Luo Realm and were unable to enter the Sage-to-be Realm.
Their cultivation had long been sufficient. What they lacked was the sublimation of their souls. Only when their souls and bodies became one and surpassed the level of Immortals would they be able to transform their primordial spirits into a True Spirit and enter the Sage-to-be Realm.
It was only now that Ye Xuan finally understood that even though he had boldly devoured a portion of Tongtian's cultivation and directly entered the peak of the Grand Luo Realm, he still had a long way to go before he could enter the Sage-to-be Realm.
"Thank you for your guidance, Sect Master."
Ye Xuan cupped his hands and bowed. He did not mention a single word about devouring a portion of Tongtian's cultivation. However, how could Ye Xuan let him off even though Tongtian did not mention it?
After all, no one had dared to scheme against a Saint in the endless time that had passed. Today, Ye Xuan dared to scheme against Tongtian. This was already a great disrespect to the Saint. Even if Tongtian were to destroy his soul, it would not be excessive.
"Scheming against a Saint is a crime deserving of death. Aren't you afraid?"
Tongtian said coldly. The chaotic light around him spread and an extremely terrifying Saint's aura pressed down on Ye Xuan. It also caused Ye Xuan's expression to change slightly. However, he did not show any signs of panic.
"You won't kill me. If I die, how will you settle the old scores with the Four Great Saints in the future?" After a full ten breaths of time, Ye Xuan spoke in a low voice. His eyes looked straight at the Grandmaster of Heaven as a deep expression flashed through them.
Ye Xuan's thoughts were very simple. Since Tongtian had helped him so much, he already owed Tongtian a great favor. When he became a Saint in the future, he would definitely repay this favor.
Moreover, Ye Xuan was absolutely certain that no matter how angry Tongtian was, his life would not be in danger. This was also the reason why Ye Xuan dared to scheme against Tongtian. Otherwise, if it was any other Saint, Ye Xuan would not dare to do so.
"Ye Xuan, you're very smart. You know that I won't kill you, but I hope you remember that if you can't become a Saint in the future, what you did today will be the path to your death."
Tongtian said calmly. He was not joking because if Ye Xuan could not become a Saint, Ye Xuan would be useless. What Ye Xuan had done today was not something Tongtian could tolerate.
Saints could not be blasphemed. This was not just a saying. It was extremely terrifying. Tongtian did not bicker with Ye Xuan because he had determined Ye Xuan to be the seventh Saint. Otherwise, how could Tongtian let Ye Xuan go?
"Ye Xuan will remember the sect master's kindness today, but I also hope that the sect master will remember that if I really do become a Saint in the future, I will definitely repay this favor a hundredfold," Ye Xuan said calmly. He did not panic at all because of Tongtian's threat.
"Alright, I'll wait for that day to come."
Tongtian slowly nodded as a sliver of admiration flashed through his eyes. In truth, Tongtian admired Ye Xuan very much because Ye Xuan's personality was very similar to his. They were both unruly and lawless people.
However, if Ye Xuan did not become a Saint, he would only be an ant in the end. He would not have the right to be friends with him. Only when Ye Xuan's cultivation was on par with his would the two of them be able to speak on equal terms.
