The reason why they had entered the Celestial World through the Celestial Ocean was so that they could search for the Sage corpses discreetly. Once they found a few more, they would be able to achieve breakthroughs in several Saint realms. That way, even if their enemies were to notice them, it would be difficult for them to kill them.
But from the looks of it now … it would not be that easy!
After all, they had left the Celestial World for more than ten thousand years. There were many geniuses in the Celestial World.
How could that be possible?
Thus, as soon as they entered the Celestial World, those who were on the verge of making a breakthrough had already noticed it.
"Actually, there's another way …"
The weakened Wei Boyang suddenly spoke up.
The crowd turned to look at him.
"The reason why we didn't allow Su Yin to reach Sainthood is because we were afraid that Cang Qiong, the Yellow Spring, Gou Mang, and the others would notice it. Actually, we could have disguised ourselves as the hermit cultivators of the Celestial World who are proficient in pill forging and snatch the Sage corpses from them. As long as we snatch my Sage corpses, we won't have to rush into Sainthood."
Wei Boyang said.
"You're right!"
Seeing that Su Yin was still a little confused, Song Yu explained, "In order to reach Sainthood, not only must one have a deep understanding of the Great Dao, but one also needs to accumulate all kinds of resources. Assimilating our Sage corpses is the fastest way to do so! Take the house that you mentioned before as an example. Even if one has a quota and is ready to buy a house, without sufficient wealth, it's still useless. Our Sage corpses contain sufficient Qi of Saint Spirit, as well as the power of faith from countless living beings. This is the so-called 'wealth'!
"The other party can achieve a breakthrough and compete with you, but as long as we snatch the Sage corpses from them, they won't be able to achieve a breakthrough in a short period of time no matter how close they are to Sainthood!
"Of course, it's possible for them to succeed over time, but as long as they don't give them the opportunity, it shouldn't be a problem!"
They had gone through countless trials and tribulations to reach Sainthood. It wasn't something that could be achieved overnight.
Fairy Hanyun also came to a realization. She looked at Song Yu worriedly and said, "This way, we can stop the other party and save Wei Boyang without exposing ourselves … It's indeed a good idea. However, given that Su Yin has reached Half-Saint pinnacle even without using the Sage corpses, it seems like he's still a long way from reaching Sainthood! Even if I can fight him with my full strength, I won't be able to match him! "
To snatch it, one had to have the strength to do so. These two Remnant Wills were already struggling to even speak, so there was no way they could be counted on.
Wei Boyang said, "Yes, we are still far from it. However, we have a backup plan. When we nurtured Su Yin, we used the holy spiritual qi to temper him. His physical body can already withstand the power of a quasi-sage. As long as he can obtain a portion of the corpses of our thirty-six Ancient Sages, even if it's just a finger, he'll be able to tap into the prowess of a Half-Saint for a short period of time. Once that's done, it'll be much easier for him to snatch it from us. "
Fairy Hanyun suddenly understood, "If that's the case, then there's a chance of success …"
No wonder they dared to return to the Celestial World. They had indeed made sufficient preparations. They had considered things much more thoroughly than an outsider like her.
Song Yu said, "There are two main problems right now. First, we have to find out who obtained Wei Boyang's saint corpse and attempted to become a Pill Sage. If we can't find that person, it'll be pointless no matter what we say. Second, find the holy remains of any one of the thirty-six Saints in the shortest amount of time possible. It can't be hair, but preferably bones. "
Wei Boyang and Fairy Hanyun nodded simultaneously.
Su Yin also came to a realization, and a hint of worry appeared on his face.
"First, it won't be too difficult to find out who it is!"
Song Yu turned to Fairy Hanyun and said, "Little Yun, we've left the Celestial World for ten thousand years, so we don't know much about it. Do you know who the most skilled pill refiners are?"
Even though they were unable to guess who it was, they were certain that those who were capable of becoming Pill Sages were likely to be extremely skilled in pill refinement.
"I've been in hibernation all this while, so I don't know much about it either. Give me a moment, I'll ask around right now!" Fairy Hanyun said.
In order to extend her lifespan, she had been in hibernation for several thousand years, so there were many things that she was unaware of as well.
Weng!
A powerful soul ripple burst forth, seemingly communicating with someone. A moment later, Fairy Hanyun regained her senses and said, "Based on Wei Hanyue's introduction, there are currently three most renowned pill refiners. The first is the Pill Sage of Spirit Night Mountain, Mo Yuanfeng; the guest elder of the Wuwei Sacred Ground, Yin Ruohai; and the last one is Fairy Jiuqu of the Nine Folds Mountain."
The Frigid Cloud Sect was a pill refinement sect, and they were the strongest pill refiners in the world. As such, there was no need for them to investigate the matter on their own.
"Now that I'm dead, everyone is calling me the Pill Sage …" Wei Boyang sneered coldly.
Those who dared to call themselves the Pill Sage meant that they had become a Saint through pill refinement. Ten thousand years ago, he was the only one who dared to call himself the Pill Sage. How laughable!
"The Pill Sage isn't the Saint of Heaven and Earth, but the title that the various sects of the Spirit Night Mountain use to call him! Due to his prowess in pill refinement, there are many Sacred Grounds that have connections with him, and he has countless disciples under him. Even though he isn't a Sacred Ground, he isn't any weaker than one.
"As for Yin Ruohai, he's from the Wuwei Sacred Ground, and it's the marriage partner of our Frigid Cloud Sect. Under normal circumstances, Shangguan Wanqing is supposed to marry into the Wuwei Sacred Ground."
Song Yu frowned. "Who's the Saint?"
Fairy Hanyun replied, "He's called Daolord Wuwei. He became a Saint after you were killed. Before I went into hibernation, I met him once. It's because of that that he's been protecting the Frigid Cloud Sect until now."
"Mm!" Song Yu nodded.
He had never heard of this name before. It seemed like it was a Sacred Ground that appeared later.
"Yin Ruohai joined this Sacred Ground several thousand years ago. As a guest elder, he focused on pill refinement. Many of our Frigid Cloud Sect's secret pill refinement techniques were imparted by him. I'm not sure how skilled he is, but I'm sure that he's no weaker than Mo Yuanfeng."
Fairy Hanyun continued, "As for Fairy Jiuqu, it's said that she's a spirit from the Jiuqu Heavenly River and has reached the level of a Quasi-Saint. She's skilled in water refinement techniques, but she has an eccentric temperament. She doesn't refine pills for outsiders. It's said that she once used the Jiuqu Heavenly River to refine a Saint-tier Fortune Pill for a sect.
"The Fortune Pill requires tens of thousands of medicinal herbs to be refined with gentle force. If it's successful, it can take the form of a human and guard a sect, ensuring that the sect's meridians are prosperous. Although it's a Saint-tier pill, it's the lowest tier. However … to be able to refine it without being a Saint, it can be said that she's extremely skilled in pill refinement!"
This time, Wei Boyang didn't refute. Instead, he nodded in agreement.
"Un!"
Fairy Hanyun said. "So, all three of them are possible candidates. As long as we send someone to keep a close eye on them, we should be able to find some clues!"
"I'll leave this matter to you then!"
Song Yu said. "Even if they have the Sage corpses, without our help and acknowledgement, it'll still take some time for them to reach Saint. You'll have to find a way to determine their targets while we search for the corpses of the thirty-six Sages! Right, do you know where the corpses of any of us are? "
"This …" Fairy Hanyun pondered for a moment before saying, "I don't know much about the corpses of the other Ancient Sages, but yours … I know where it is!"
"What is it? Where is it?"
Song Yu's eyes lit up.
As long as it was a Sage corpse, regardless of which of the thirty-six Sages it belonged to, it would allow Su Yin to possess the strength of a Quasi-Saint within a short period of time. By then, he would be able to resolve the current situation and successfully snatch Wei Boyang's corpse.
"It's a leg bone!" Fairy Hanyun looked at Song Yu with a hint of a smile. "It's with Madam Luo Xue of the Snowfall Palace!"
Song Yu was taken aback. "Madam Luo Xue? You mean Han Luoxue … Little Xue 'er? "
Fairy Hanyun: "Hehe."
"How do you know that she has my leg bone?" Song Yu asked.
Fairy Hanyun: "Hehe, take a guess!"
"I'm not guessing!" Song Yu felt a headache coming on. "Alright, since we know where she is, it'll be simple. Why don't we set off now? As long as we find this bone, we'll have solved half of the problem!"
Hearing those words, Fairy Hanyun's eyes turned colder and colder. "Why didn't I hear you looking for me so enthusiastically? Why are you so agitated after hearing about Han Luoxue? "
"Your words are a little hurtful. I just came to the Celestial Realm today, and I already allowed Little Su Yin to come to your sect. Isn't that putting you first?"
Song Yu's eyes were filled with sincerity. "Don't worry, Little Yun 'er. You'll always be the most important in my heart. If you don't believe me, you can ask Little Su Yin. I used to talk about you in front of him often!"
"Yes, Mistress. Teacher often talks about you and says that he owes you the most in his life …" Su Yin said sincerely.
Although it didn't seem like he was lying, there was nothing he could do.
"Look …" Song Yu secretly raised his thumb and shook it. "Alright, my remnant will can't stay outside for too long. Otherwise, it'll consume too much energy and it'll be easy for it to be destroyed …"
After which, with a 'hu!', he disappeared from the spot and dived into Su Yin's consciousness once more.
Wei Boyang also followed closely behind.
"At least you have a conscience!"
Although she knew that the other party was lying, Fairy Hanyun was still delighted. She didn't pursue the matter and looked at the young man before her. "Now, I'll bring you to find Lady Luoxue! However, that fellow is cold as ice and cruel by nature. More importantly, she's extremely ugly and has a bad temper … Whether you can make her hand over the leg bone is your problem. "
"Mistress, you're not going?" Su Yin blinked his eyes and looked over curiously.
Fairy Hanyun's face reddened. "I don't get along with that fellow. We've fought many times, so I won't be going this time. Otherwise, if she sees that I'm the one who brought you here, she won't even be able to enter the Snowfall Palace …"
"Alright!"
Su Yin had no choice but to agree.
It seemed like Lady Luoxue was a rival in love. In order to retrieve the leg bone, Fairy Hanyun must have gone looking for trouble. In the end, she was never a match for Lady Luoxue, which was why she had accumulated so much resentment.
"I'll arrange for someone to investigate the three pill forging experts and look for a Teleportation Talisman. We'll set off in an hour!"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan had agreed, Fairy Hanyun flew out.
Shaking his head, Su Yin walked out of the side hall.
By the time he returned to the main hall, the Groom Selection Ceremony was almost over. Even though he didn't manage to marry the Fairy of the Frigid Cloud Sect, the Pure Origin Sect was still safe thanks to the words of the Holy Maiden.
As for Luo Xuanji of the Qingyi Sect, he had already been taught a lesson by Sect Leader Wei Hanyue. Without the support of the Frigid Cloud Sect, it wouldn't be long before the sect was destroyed.
The sects of the Celestial World were like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Every year, countless sects would be established, and many of them would be destroyed … If they didn't become a Sacred Ground, they would eventually be reduced to ashes. In fact, even a Sacred Ground might not be able to last long.
Just like the Lovers Mountain that Song Yu controlled, it had already disappeared in the river of time, never to be found again.
"Thank you for bringing me here, Brother Shao. I won't be following you back …"
Interrupting Shao Qing's words of gratitude, Su Yin waved his hand with a smile.
They were just strangers who had met by chance, and what he was about to do was simply too big. With his Golden Immortal cultivation, he would surely die if he got involved.
After bidding farewell to Luo Xuanji, Su Yin returned to the side hall. Seeing that Fairy Hanyun hadn't arrived yet, he sat quietly on the spot to cultivate.
Previously, with the help of Song Yu's hair, he managed to produce an Aura of Lust, an Aura of Painting, and an Aura of Poetry. It just so happened that he could fuse them together with the other spiritual energy.
Boom!
Immortal spiritual energy surged into the Taiji Diagram, and his cultivation rose from True Immortal 7-dan to Golden Immortal realm in the blink of an eye.
Eventually, it came to a halt at Golden Immortal 1-dan.
There were only three surges of spiritual energy, and they weren't too balanced, so they weren't too powerful.
"Can you tell me what this spiritual energy is now?"
Seeing that he was unable to cultivate, Su Yin focused his attention on Song Yu and the others.
"This is … the Aura of Saint Spirit, and it's also the cornerstone of becoming a Saint," Yang Xuan said.
Yang Xuan said, "If you want to become a Saint, not only do you need to be strong enough, you also need to have sufficient comprehension of the Great Dao. You also need to have the faith and admiration of experts who have comprehended the same Great Dao. In other words, you need to have great talent and be praised by the world. Without these, how can you transcend?
"The Aura of Saint Spirit is the spiritual energy that is produced by the worship and admiration of others. Only by fusing with this energy can one truly surpass the Great Dao and stand above all beings."
Su Yin came to a realization.
It was no wonder why he had to 'Manifest Divinity' before experts of the same occupation in order to gather every surge of spiritual energy. In the end, it was all to gather their faith.
"In order to become a Saint, it's extremely difficult to gather the Aura of Saint Spirit alone. Take Song Yu for example. She has to make several women fall in love with her in order to gather the Aura of Saint!"
Yang Xuan said. "But you're different. As long as you can find our Sage corpses, you'll be able to absorb the energy that we've gathered and succeed."
"Several women?"
Su Yin's lips twitched.
One Yuan, 129,600. To make so many women fall in love with him …
He turned to look at Song Yu once more, and his eyes were filled with admiration.
It was no wonder he was able to make Shangguan Wanqing fall in love with him just by using a few words.
Just that … could his kidneys really take on so many women?
Seeing the bizarre look in Zhang Xuan's eyes, Song Yu coughed and said, "As a Saint, it's not surprising that I have some admirers. It's just that in the past ten thousand years, those who haven't reached the Dao Integration Stage have all disappeared into the annals of history …"
"Ah … You're right!"
If one was really handsome, good at flirting, and good with words, it was normal for many people to fall in love with him.
It was just like how it was possible for a young hunk in his previous life to have a hundred thousand passionate fans.
"Su Yin …"
Just as Zhang Xuan was deep in thought, a calm voice sounded by his ear. Raising his head, he saw Holy Maiden Shangguan Wanqing standing before him timidly.
