The two Demon Emperors could completely feel the confidence that Ye Xuan was emitting from the inside out. The two Demon Emperors' spirits were lifted, and they felt that their decision to follow Ye Xuan was the right choice.
"Heaven Emperor, I don't know if I should ask you something." Donghuang Taiyi hesitated for a while and then asked tentatively.
"Do you want to know if I have become a Sage?"
Ye Xuan lightly smiled. He'd already guessed what Donghuang Taiyi wanted to ask. After all, there were only seven Saints in the world, and this was an unchanging iron law. Yet today, when Ye Xuan and Houtu clashed, not only did they not fall into a disadvantageous position, they even blasted Houtu flying. How could this not cause Donghuang Taiyi and the others to be extremely surprised?
"The so-called Virtue Becoming a Sage is just borrowing the power of the Way of Heaven, which is the power of this world. With the support of the Way of Heaven, one can display the power of a Sage."
"As for the so-called Seven Sages in the world, this is actually just a general statement. This is because the laws of this world are incomplete. It is basically a world with incomplete laws. It is impossible for others to become a Saint even if they want to. The so-called Primordial Violet Qi makes up for the incomplete laws of this world. That is why the Seven Sages were born."
Ye Xuan slowly explained the mystery of Sages, which made the two Demonic Emperors listen carefully. Their expressions changed constantly, and their eyes flashed with surprise from time to time.
Obviously, when Ye Xuan crossed the Heavenly Law Three Realms, he could feel the changes in the world and understand the origin of the Seven Sages.
"I walk the path of proving my Dao through strength. In fact, I'm not a Saint. I'm still in the Sage-to-be Realm, but I'm the Heaven and Earth myself. I'm not affected by the incomplete rules of the Great Dao of the outside world.
Ye Xuan didn't hold anything back as he bluntly introduced his current cultivation. Not only was this a reassurance for the two Demon Emperors, it was also to tell them that they might have a chance to become a Saint in the future.
"Heaven … Heaven Emperor … You … You mean … we still have a chance to become Sages?" Emperor Jun's face turned red and his voice trembled.
"Hard, hard, hard!"
Ye Xuan shook his head slowly and sighed, "I've said before that the Great Dao of this world is incomplete, so no one can become a Saint. The Seven Saints can become Saints because of the Primordial Violet Energy bestowed by Dao Ancestor Hong Jun, and there are only two possibilities for others to become Saints."
"Celestial Emperor, please enlighten me." Donghuang Taiyi bowed solemnly. The two of them had been stuck at the pinnacle of Quasi-Saint for countless years. There was no possibility for them to advance any further. Becoming a Saint was their lifelong dream.
Ye Xuan was never stingy with his own people. Since the two great demonic emperors had submitted to him, Ye Xuan would naturally not hold back in this aspect.
"The first method is to prove one's Way with strength, also known as breaking all methods with one's strength. This method is not restricted by the world and relies on one's own strength to stand above the Heavenly Path. If one can transcend and pass through the Nine Tribulations of the Heavenly Path, one can become a Saint among Saints."
"Hiss!"
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, the two great demonic emperors gasped. Although they knew about the method of proving one's Way with strength, they did not expect it to be so terrifying.
Relying on one's own strength to transcend the Heavenly Path and break through the shackles of the world to become a Saint among Saints was simply a fantasy. No matter how strong one was, he still existed under the Heavenly Path. How could he transcend under the Heavenly Path?
Looking at the two great demonic emperors' disappointed expressions, Ye Xuan smiled and said, "The second method is very simple. Complete the Great Dao of this world, and the two of you will have the chance to become Saints."
"Complete the Great Dao of Law?" Donghuang Taiyi frowned and then looked at Ye Xuan with a self-deprecating smile, "The Great Dao of Law is extremely mysterious. Let alone us, I'm afraid that even the Saints do not understand it. How can we complete it?"
The two great demonic emperors were finally disappointed because they could not do either of the two methods. The last hope in their hearts to become Saints disappeared without a trace.
"Completing the Great Dao of Law is not difficult, but it is not easy either." Ye Xuan looked up at the starry sky. His eyes were slightly absent-minded, as if he was gazing at the mysterious Chaotic World through the starry sky.
"Heaven Emperor, do you have a way?" Emperor Jun was overjoyed and quickly asked.
Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze and looked at the two demonic emperors with a smile, "It is very simple to complete the Great Dao of Law. I need to pass the Nine Tribulations of the Heavenly Path and become a Saint among Saints. At that time, I can condense the Great Dao of Law and complete this world. Naturally, you can also become Saints."
"I see!"
When Ye Xuan finished speaking, the two demonic emperors suddenly understood. Their eyes were burning with passion, and the way they looked at Ye Xuan became increasingly different.
"However, this matter is still too far away. It is hard to say whether I can pass the Six Tribulations of the Heavenly Path. Now, what I need to do is to settle the karma of the past with Nüwa," Ye Xuan whispered coldly.
"Billions of demonic emperors pledge their loyalty to you. We swear that we will never betray you, Heaven Emperor. If we violate this oath, our souls will scatter and we will die." The two demonic emperors looked at each other and then made the Great Vow of the Heart Demon.
"Good."
Ye Xuan smiled. The two demonic emperors were now loyal to Ye Xuan. This was the result that he wanted.
As a superior, using the carrot and stick was the most basic method. Ye Xuan had saved Donghuang Taiyi, helped him take back the Donghuang Bell from Houtu, and promised the two demonic emperors that he would protect the entire demonic race. This was kindness.
He forced Houtu to retreat with one blow and displayed a cultivation level that was not weaker than a Sage. This was power!
Although he had both grace and power, Ye Xuan knew one principle. The so-called loyalty was based on benefits. Only mutually beneficial benefits could make the two Demon Emperors swear to follow him to the death.
Therefore, Ye Xuan told the two that they still had a chance to become a Sage. However, the prerequisite was that he had to become the Sage of all Sages in order to complete the Great Dao. This made the two demonic emperors extremely excited, and they stood firmly on his side.
Obviously, as a superior, Ye Xuan was very successful. He had successfully subdued the two demonic emperors. From this, it could be seen that Ye Xuan was indeed a scheming person. He would never trust anyone. Only by linking benefits together could he form a Supreme Celestial Court that unified the three realms.
…
Time flew by like water. In the blink of an eye, sixty years had passed.
The stars rotated in the vast starry sky. One figure after another traversed through space, heading towards the Houtu Palace.
Today was the opening day of the Heaven Mender Festival. Not only would the various systems and quasi-saints be present, but several Sages would also be present. This was an unprecedented event, so it naturally attracted the attention of all living beings in the three realms.
There was an earthy yellow star that was vast and boundless, shining with golden light. It was releasing an auspicious aura. Countless figures stood on this star, and celestial music from the Nine Heavens could be heard in the vast starry sky.
