However, some Mountain Cui Spirit Fruits were placed at the edge of the valley. Clearly, they were picked by birds and beasts, and also to express their gratitude to Ye Xuan for awakening their spiritual wisdom.
Beside the ancient pond in the valley.
Ethereal and illusory like mist, Ye Xuan sat cross-legged with the Nine String Zither placed on his knees. Dense water vapor rose from the ancient pond, making Ye Xuan look ethereal like an immortal.
"Sigh!"
With a long sigh, Ye Xuan slowly got up, and the Nine String Zither disappeared. He looked down at the pond with his hands behind his back, and a touch of annoyance flashed across his eyes.
"Ten thousand years have passed, and the so-called Sage-to-be Realm is unreachable. Where does my future lie?" Ye Xuan murmured, and a touch of confusion appeared in his eyes.
Ten thousand years have passed, and the passage of time has killed the Heaven's Chosen!
Immortals were immortal. Ten thousand years was not a long time, but it was not short either. However, after ten thousand years, Ye Xuan's cultivation did not make any progress, and he did not even cross the threshold of the Sage-to-be Realm.
Ten thousand years ago, Ye Xuan came to Little Swallow Mountain and stayed beside the ancient pond. Other than stabilizing his cultivation at the peak of the Grand Luo Realm, he also hoped that he could understand himself and enter the Sage-to-be Realm.
Ye Xuan was a proud person, and also a person with great aptitude. He believed that he could enter the Sage-to-be Realm, but when he really tried to break through, his so-called pride no longer existed, and he felt a deep sense of defeat.
Not to mention entering the Sage-to-be Realm, Ye Xuan did not even know how to enter the Sage-to-be Realm. It was as if there was a dead end in front of him, and he had walked to the end with no way out.
The difference between Immortal and Sage was like heaven and earth. These were two different levels of life. How could it be so easy to enter the Sage-to-be Realm from Immortal?
One must know that there was no lack of amazing people in this world, but how many people cultivated to the peak of the Grand Luo Realm but could not move forward, and had no hope of entering the Sage-to-be Realm?
If it was so easy to become a Pre-Saint, there would have been countless Pre-Saints since the beginning of time.
After these ten thousand years, Ye Xuan examined himself. He once again studied the Undying Immortal Scripture, and even studied the Bronze Immortal Scripture left behind by the Origin Spirit. He hoped to find a way to step into the quasi-saint realm from it.
Unfortunately, ten thousand years had passed and Ye Xuan had gained nothing. He only knew two words about how to step into the Quasi-Sage Realm.
True Spirit!
That's right, it was the true spirit. In order to step into the Sage-to-be, one had to transform one's primordial spirit into a true spirit. Only when a true spirit was born could one become a Sage-to-be.
In the past, the Myriad Poison Ancestor had once said, "As long as the true spirit exists, Quasi-Saints will never die!"
These words were not just for show. They symbolized the true essence of the Quasi-Sage Realm.
However, Ye Xuan had no idea how to transform his primordial spirit into a true spirit. And, Ye Xuan could vaguely sense that he walked the path of proving his dao through strength. Even if he could transform his primordial spirit into a true spirit, he probably would not necessarily be able to become a Quasi-Saint.
This was because the path of proving one's dao through strength cultivated both the primordial spirit and the body. It had to be mentioned that Ye Xuan's Origin Immortal Body was only a step away from major accomplishment, but he was unable to take this step.
Only by reaching major accomplishment with the Origin Immortal Body would his undying primordial spirit become a true spirit. When his body and true spirit became one, his level of existence would go from Immortal to Saint. This also meant that he could become a Quasi-Saint.
Ye Xuan understood this principle, but how was he supposed to reach major accomplishment with the Origin Immortal Body and turn his undying primordial spirit into a true spirit?
These two problems were placed before Ye Xuan. Even though ten thousand years had passed and he had racked his brains for various methods, even going as far as to enter secluded cultivation, it was all for naught in the end.
A single step was the difference between heaven and earth!
Ye Xuan truly refused to accept this, but it was useless even if he refused to accept this. He had already been shackled at the peak of the Origin Immortal Body for ten thousand years. Becoming a Quasi-Saint was nowhere in sight.
Actually, Ye Xuan was far too anxious. After all, which of the other peak Origin Immortal Bodies had not been trapped at this level for tens of millions of years?
Whether it was Kong Xuan or Duobao Rulai, just how many Origin Immortals across the three Realms could reach Quasi-Saint?
The Quasi-Saint realm was a mystery within a mystery. Every single person used different methods to reach it. Just look at the Myriad Poison Ancestor, who was not particularly renowned, yet he just happened to reach Quasi-Saint. This was a matter of luck.
Beside the ancient pool!
Ye Xuan lowered his head as his heart surged. He had set a time limit of thirty thousand years for himself. He needed to reach Quasi-Saint within thirty thousand years, as he had a vague feeling that if he failed to reach Quasi-Saint, he would definitely suffer an unimaginable calamity. Perhaps he would end up as bones beneath the feet of others.
"Do I really have to search for Primordial Qi?" Ye Xuan murmured to himself as he recalled what the Tongtian had said to him in the past.
"It's just that I walk the path of proving my way through strength. If I really do rely on Primordial Qi to reach Quasi-Saint, my Origin Immortal Body and indestructible soul will probably completely collapse, and I'll completely sever my path of proving my way through strength!"
"And, even if I give up on proving my way through strength, where is the Primordial Qi?"
Ye Xuan shook his head and sighed. The confusion in his eyes became heavier and heavier. Ever since he was young, he had experienced far too many hardships along the path of cultivation. Who knew how many bones had piled up behind him. However, he had never been shackled to a certain realm of cultivation. He had always been advancing his cultivation like a hot knife through butter.
Until today, he was at the peak of the Grand Luo Realm, and the Quasi-Saint Realm was right in front of him, but he was firmly trapped where he was. Even though he had an inextinguishable will in his heart, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness in the face of the Quasi-Saint Realm.
The peak of the Grand Immortal realm was revered as an ancestor. As long as Quasi-Saints did not appear, they could look down on the three realms. Perhaps this was already a supreme glory to others, but it was not even worth mentioning to Ye Xuan. This was because in the eyes of Quasi-Saints, Daluo Jinxian was only an ant. And, Ye Xuan had never forgotten that there were still the supreme six Saints above Quasi-Saints.
Ye Xuan stood in the reflection of the ancient pool.
He was like an immovable boulder. He did not speak or move at all as he considered his path ahead. A large amount of mist rose up from the pool, obscuring his figure.
… …
"Hu Mei Er, quickly give up resisting. Otherwise, don't blame my King for being ruthless."
The fiery light of the Tongtian crossed the sky.
A demonic cloud that covered the sky stretched across the sky. Thousands of demons roared and growled in the demonic cloud. In the void, a young girl with peerless beauty could be seen. She was activating a demonic art and fleeing in the void.
"Wife, just listen to me. You won't be able to escape from this king's palm."
Suddenly, a child's voice sounded in the void. A speck of fiery light blocked Hu Mei Er's path. This caused the young girl's expression to change. She clenched her silver teeth.
"Hong Haier, you shameless brat. Don't go too far." Hu Mei Er reprimanded.
