"How much do you understand about the power of the ancestral spirit?" Fang Yun asked.
Ye Hongyu shook his head. "I can't see through it. Before you used Swallow Sound, I even had a feeling that it was a Half-saint controlling Lang Tuo Huang's body. The battle instinct of someone infinitely close to becoming a Saint is too terrifying. Not only are their battle skills strong, they can also see through our strengths and weaknesses. The most terrifying thing is that they can form the most effective attack or defense in a short period of time. If Lang Tuo Huang didn't use the ancestral spirit, even if there were three more, the Old Man would be able to kill them one by one. But with the ancestral spirit, both sides would suffer at most. "
"That's right. The previous Celestial Phase Strike, Saint Phase Strike, and Godly Phase Strike only borrowed a portion of the power. To put it bluntly, it's just a way to increase one's power. But the ancestral spirit is completely borrowing the ancestral spirit's experience and consciousness. Fortunately, the demons and barbarians are relatively stupid. If the human race could form something similar to the ancestral spirit's power, I guarantee that every time they borrow it, they would become stronger. Any great scholar would have an eighty percent chance of becoming a Half-saint. "
Ye Hongyu glanced at Fang Yun and remained silent.
Fang Yun was stunned for a moment, then slowly said, "If Mister Lei has something to say, feel free to say it. I can accept criticism."
Ye Hongyu shook his head. "It's not criticism, but you said that any great scholar has an eighty percent chance of becoming a Half-saint. That's a bit inappropriate … You don't seem to know the secret of becoming a Saint, do you?"
Fang Yun immediately said, "Before I left, Mister Jinglong said that after I leave Sacred Burial Valley and become a great scholar, he would teach me some related matters."
Ye Hongyu nodded. "That's right. I knew it was impossible for no one to give you pointers. Do you know whether Yi Zhishi went to Yueyang Tower to support you or the Zong family? "
Fang Yun immediately recalled the scholarly meeting and hesitated for a moment. "I originally thought that he would support the Zong family, but after thinking about it, he did indeed remain neutral."
"Him remaining neutral means that he supports you." Ye Hongyu said.
Fang Yundao woke up from his daze. "I'm actually in the middle of it all. That's right, he was a literary tycoon. Back then, he had consulted Zong Sheng for guidance and was also on good terms with Raikonghe. Naturally, he would receive benefits from both sides. The Zong Clan's Lei family had been looking forward to his arrival, believing that he would be able to help the two clans deal with me. However, he had remained neutral in front of Yue Yang Tower, which was actually an expression of goodwill towards me. However, why is he trying to be nice to me? You mean to say that it has something to do with Sainthood? "
Ye Hongyu smiled. "It is indeed related to sainthood. In the past, you were only good at poetry and had unparalleled combat prowess among your peers. Who would have thought that in just a few years, you would become a Grand Scholar with a solid foundation? According to the trend of your progress, you might become a literary giant within five years, or even a saint within ten years! Of course, when we were outside the Saint Burial Valley, even I thought that it would be difficult for you to become a Saint within a dozen years. As for now, I am certain that you will definitely become a Saint within ten years. "
"Don't praise me yet. Get to the point." Fang Yun still didn't understand.
"Do you know the Four Godly Doctors of Eastern Han?"
Fang Yundao said, "Of course, Zhang Zhongjing, Hua Tuo, Dong Feng, and Huangfu Mi. However, Huangfu Mi switched to the Dao of Medicine midway. His reputation among the people is not as good as the top three, and he is often not mentioned in the same breath as the top three. However, his 《Acupuncture and Moxibustion Classic》 is the culmination of the Dao of Acupuncture and Moxibustion. Dong Feng's works are not plentiful, but he doesn't charge for treating patients. He only allows people to plant apricot trees in the mountains. That apricot forest is still the holy land of the human race's medical school. His reputation among the people is not inferior to Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing. "
"Do you know why only Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo have become Saints among the Four Divine Doctors?"
"Isn't it because the two of them are profound in the Dao of Medicine and have written successful books?" Fang Yun asked doubtfully.
Ye Hongyu sighed softly. "If you weren't a medical practitioner, what would you do if you saw two Half-saints appear in the Dao of Medicine, and possibly two more Half-saints appear in the Dao of Medicine? Moreover, at that time, the human race only had internal strife and no external threats. "
Fang Yun was silent for a long time. Then, he slowly said, "They would probably try to balance out the situation, but they would have to give a trustworthy reason."
"Of course there would be a reason. When Kong Sheng was still alive, with his help, anyone could become a Saint as soon as their cultivation level reached a certain level. After Kong Sheng's death, the Saints discovered a thorny problem. Every time someone becomes a Saint, they would have to devour almost ninety percent of Saint Origin World's origin Qi. At the same time, they would have to devour a large amount of Literature Starlight. Otherwise, their foundation would be unstable. Previously, Kong Sheng solved this problem. After Kong Sheng's death, the Saints had no choice but to follow a rule. After one person becomes a Saint, no one can become a Saint within ten years! This is not only for the sake of the people of Saint Origin World, but also for the future Saints. This is because if the origin Qi of Heaven and Earth and Literature Starlight are insufficient, it is very likely that they will fail to become a Saint. "
When Ye Hongyu was halfway through his sentence, Fang Yun vaguely understood what he meant.
Ye Hongyu glanced at Fang Yun and sighed. "You should be able to guess that after Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo became Saints, the other Half-saint families used this as an excuse to stop Dong Feng and Huangfu Mi from becoming Saints in Saint Origin World. With Dong Feng and Huangfu Mi's strength, they would not be able to become Saints outside of Saint Origin World. In the end, you know what happened. The two of them were only great scholars of medicine. Huangfu Mi fared slightly better and was conferred the title of Literature Master. "
"You're saying that Yi Zhishi is trying to be friendly with me. If my strength increases by leaps and bounds, I'll let him become a Saint first and I'll wait another ten years?" Fang Yun asked.
Ye Hongyu said, "Things are different now. Literature Starlight is rich, and the origin Qi of Heaven and Earth has increased. You'll only need to wait five years. However, he probably has another intention, and that is to become a Saint before Raikonghe. Even now, you're still less of a threat to him than Raikonghe. "
Fang Yun's head drooped slightly. His divine sense swirled around in his mind, connecting the dots and understanding of many things. Last time, when they met outside the Gods Bestow Mountains, Yi Zhishi's enthusiasm was not only because of his success in healing, but also because of this.
Ye Hongyu saw that Fang Yun's expression was off and advised, "This isn't Yi Zhishi's fault. He had no other choice. Normally, you wouldn't meet so many people with a chance of becoming a Saint. Now that you've met them, you'll definitely fight to be the first. Of course, I'm not asking you to let him go. You know Old Man's temper. I'd love for you to be fearless and open your own path to becoming a Saint. In any case, all of you have a chance at becoming a Saint, but Old Man doesn't. "
Ye Hongyu smiled freely, expressing his neutral stance.
"This matter will depend on our own strength," Fang Yun said.
"What I'm afraid of is that others don't think this way. What I'm afraid of is that some people don't want you to become a Saint within ten years. That person in Jingguo, I'm afraid … "Ye Hongyu didn't directly say that Chen Guanhai would die.
Fang Yun gazed into the distance, not saying anything.
After a while, Ye Hongyu finally broke the window and asked, "If someone asks you to let him go for five or even ten years, what will you do?"
Fang Yun was still gazing into the distance as he slowly spoke.
"When I was young and ignorant, I left home, and my black hair never saw the light of youth.
With a brush in hand and ink in hand, I sailed the boat, not knowing that the sea of learning was boundless.
With a head of white hair and a cold window, how could I be afraid of the turbid waves washing away the sand?
If someone asks for the Saint's Path, my ancient sword will answer! "
Ye Hongyu remained silent. Perhaps Fang Yun was the only person in the world who dared to say that he had never experienced the best years of his youth for the sake of the human race. Since he had chosen to sail the boat in the sea of learning, since he had decided to dedicate his life to studying and pursuing the Saint's Path, why should he be afraid of all the competition and filth? If someone asked Fang Yun to let go of his Saint's Path …
Clang, clang, clang, his sword would answer with blood!
