"If that's the case, we can indeed work together!"
Su Yin nodded. "If the Lingyuan Sacred Ground can help me succeed, I'll agree to the same conditions as Fairy Jiuqu!"
If the water wasn't muddy, there was no chance at all. Naturally, the messier it was, the better!
Even if he couldn't snatch the sage corpse, he could at least prevent the other party from achieving a breakthrough.
"I couldn't ask for more!" Yunfeng's eyes lit up.
Previously, the condition that he had discussed with Fairy Jiuqu was that she would become a guest elder, and it didn't matter whether she could forge pills or not. In fact, it would be much better for her to receive three Saint Pills and help him forge whatever he wanted.
This was only in name. The Pill Sage didn't belong to the Lingyuan Sacred Ground, but because of the deal, the two of them were bound together.
"Alright then. Since it's settled, let's set off as soon as possible!"
Su Yin thought that Fairy Jiuqu's help would be enough, but he didn't expect to have another ally.
"Let's go!"
Since everyone had the same goal, there was no need for them to hesitate. The few of them left the Jiuqu Palace and headed toward the Wuwei Sacred Ground.
"In order to become a Sage, one has to grasp a Great Dao. May I know which Dao Monarch Wuwei used to become a Sage?"
Su Yin asked curiously as they flew.
The thirty-six Lingwills had left the Celestial World for ten thousand years, so he didn't recognize any of them.
"Brother Su, you don't know? It seems like you've been in seclusion for long enough. Let me tell you about it! "
Fairy Hanyun didn't reply. Instead, it was Liao Yunfeng who looked over and explained, "Actually, they didn't reach Sage through their Great Dao but through their Martial Arts."
"Martial Arts?" Su Yin was stunned. "Martial Arts Sage?"
Lingwills, Li Qiaofu, were Sword Sages. His path was the path of the sword, and his fighting prowess was extraordinary. However, according to him, there were experts who reached Sage through their Martial Arts, and he had lost to them back then.
Could it be that the Wuwei Sacred Ground was one of those experts who reached Sage through their Martial Arts?
But … Martial Arts was a pure Great Dao. Since there was one, there shouldn't be a second one. How could there be another one?
"It belongs to the category of martial arts, but not the entire martial arts …"
Liao Yunfeng said, "When the Sacred War began ten thousand years ago, countless Saints fell. In order to prevent such an uncontrollable situation from happening again, many Saints divided the Great Dao that they occupied into countless small streams and branches. Just like the Martial Dao, it is divided into martial techniques, cultivation methods, physical body, soul power, and so on."
"Beneath each of them, there are branches. Dao Lord Wuwei comprehended one of the martial techniques called the Wuwei Celestial Art. Once it's used, the stars will fall and the world will collapse. It's also because of this move that he broke through the shackles. He's called a Saint, but in reality, the cultivation technique he created has reached the Saint level, allowing him to have the combat strength of a Saint …"
After listening for a while, Su Yin understood.
This was the same as the Holy Elixir.
Even though they had the name 'Sage', they were still worlds apart from the real Sages. In fact, even some of the Half-Sages might not be a match for them.
This Dao Lord Wuwei had created a Saint-grade Martial Technique to break through. Although he was a Sage, he only occupied a small branch and his achievements were limited.
If the 36 Ancient Sages comprehended the Great Dao at a high speed, then this Dao Lord Wuwei comprehended the Great Dao at a rural village.
However, no matter how great the gap was, he was still a Sage. He could establish a Sacred Ground and make countless sects submit to him. He was far from being a match for the current him.
"In that case, didn't many Sages appear in the past ten thousand years and establish many Sacred Grounds?"
A single Martial Dao had many second-grade branches, and the second-grade branches had many third-grade branches … At this rate, the number of Sages that appeared in the past ten thousand years had probably exceeded one's imagination.
It seemed like the 108 Sacred Grounds that the apothecary spoke of were ancient history. However, it was no wonder that an insignificant apothecary like him knew too much.
"There are indeed many Sages. However, because they didn't grasp the complete Great Dao but only the branches, these Sages are also known as Illusionary Divine. Only those who have grasped the entire Great Dao are True Sages, also known as Ancient Sages! Take the Pill Dao for example. Once one succeeds, one will immediately become a True Sage, and one's achievements will be limitless! "
Liao Yunfeng said.
Even if a small village road was built to be as wide and majestic as a high speed highway, its length was limited. No matter how short the high speed highway was, it couldn't be compared to the small village road.
Su Yin was puzzled. "Since Great Daos can be branched, does that mean that the Dao of Pills hasn't been separated in the past ten thousand years?"
"With the death of the Pill Sage, no one controls the source of the Dao of Pills. How can it be divided?"
Liao Yunfeng shook his head. "Furthermore, some Great Daos can't be divided because there are too few people who cultivate them. Only the truly powerful ones can be divided."
Su Yin was silent.
That was true.
For example, how could the Casanova be divided?
If there was one who cultivated it, it was already very scary. If everyone cultivated it, wouldn't the world be in chaos?
"It seems like those old antiques have become even stronger in the past ten thousand years …"
Hearing these words, Yang Xuan understood. He sighed. "Only the truly powerful ones can be divided into countless branches. Just like a tree, the thicker the trunk, the more branches it has. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to withstand a storm."
The remnant spirits fell silent.
Su Yin also felt the pressure.
"Forget it, these are still too far away for you. Little Su Yin, don't look down on them just because they are in the Illusionary Divine stage. As long as they understand Great Daos, they are no different from True Divines. It's just that their potential is slightly different …"
Yang Xuan's voice continued.
"I understand!" Su Yin replied.
Hollow Immortals only had limited potential. There was no difference between them and True Divines in the same realm.
Using roads as an example, if one only wanted to reach the entrance of a village, there was not much difference whether it was a small road or a highway. The former might even be smoother.
"I wonder … what is the conflict between Daoist Lord Lingyuan and Daoist Lord Wuwei for them to be willing to help me and Fairy Jiu Qu?" Su Yin continued to ask.
"Master also became a Sage through martial arts. He is in a competitive relationship with Daoist Lord Wuwei. If they have a True Sage joining them, the number of sects joining them will increase. The number of people who cultivate the Great Inaction Spell will also increase. By then, even a weak Great Dao will become stronger!"
Liao Yunfeng replied.
Only then did Su Yin truly understand.
There was an end to the small road in the village. However, as more people walked on it, it would definitely widen. As the road widened, their strength would naturally increase.
"We have arrived at the Wuwei Sacred Ground …"
As they were talking, Fairy Jiu Qu's voice sounded. Su Yin raised his head and a huge city appeared before him.
There were countless buildings and towering city walls. Even in the middle of the night, there were still many people.
"This is a Sacred Ground?" Su Yin was stunned.
From his point of view, since it was a Sacred Ground, it should be hidden and inviolable. How could it be like a city with people everywhere?
"In the Celestial World, the Sacred Ground is the safest place. It attracts countless cultivators and sects. The cultivators of the Sacred Ground also need food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. They cannot exist without others. Furthermore, to make one's Great Dao stronger, the more followers the better. Therefore … it has become like this."
Liao Yunfeng said. "However, the place where the true Sages live is the center of the Inner City. Outsiders are not allowed to enter."
There was not much difference between the Inner City and a normal city. Most of the people were ordinary people. Even though the Celestial World was filled with Spiritual Energy, there were still many Pseudo Immortals and Eternal realm cultivators who had not reached the True Immortal realm.
Cultivation techniques and cultivation techniques were always in the hands of the sects. This was the reason why the sects were able to survive for so long.
"So, this is the Inner City …"
After walking for a while, a huge palace wall appeared before them. It was as if they were looking at a huge palace.
Outside the palace wall were layers upon layers of cultivators wielding weapons. Every single one of them had a wary look on their faces. There were countless seals around the walls, forming a net that locked down the space above.
"It seems like they guessed that someone would come to cause trouble, so they made preparations in advance!" Fairy Jiu Qu frowned.
Even though she was strong, many ants could bite an elephant to death. With so many disciples of the sects attacking at the same time, even a Quasi-Sage would find it difficult to deal with them.
"Breaking through to the True Sage realm is a huge matter. Which Sacred Ground would dare to reject it? It would be strange if they did not make preparations in advance! "
Liao Yunfeng said with a smile. "However, we've already found out where Yin Ruohai is. We can just go straight to him!"
Su Yin could tell that something was amiss. "He's not in the Sacred Ground?"
"Everyone thinks that the Sacred Ground is the safest place with a Sage guarding it. If Yin Ruohai wants to refine the Sage corpse, he'll definitely be here. In reality, a tall tree attracts the wind. It's not safe to refine it here."
Liao Yunfeng explained.
Su Yin and Fairy Jiu Qu looked at each other and nodded.
Many factions would not want to see another True Sage. There would definitely be many people who would come to cause trouble. Even though there were countless disciples guarding the Sacred Ground, it would be very troublesome to defend against so many experts from the Celestial World.
"Let's go. I'll take you there!" Liao Yunfeng strode forward.
Following behind him, they quickly circled around the core of the Sacred Ground and arrived at an abandoned courtyard. Su Yin was about to follow them in when Fairy Hanyue's voice rang in his mind. "Su Yin, there's something wrong with this Liao Yunfeng. I'm afraid he's up to no good."
"I can see that!"
Su Yin smiled. "Only experts who have reached the peak of their understanding of alchemy can sense whether the Pill Sage Path is smooth or not. That Lingyuan Sacred Ground's Lord Lingyuan is only a martial artist. How could he know and even send someone to find Fairy Jiu Qu in advance to form an alliance? I don't even need to guess. It must be either Mo Yuanfeng or Yin Ruohai who told them about this! "
"Who could it be?" Fairy Hanyue was stunned.
She thought that Song Yu's disciple was too naive due to his young age, making it easy for others to deceive him. Who could have thought that he had already figured it out?
A glint flashed across Su Yin's eyes. "If it's Mo Yuanfeng, and he's not in his hands, he would have surely joined forces with us. However, it's a pity that Liao Yunfeng didn't mention him at all. This means that he doesn't know him at all."
"You mean to say that he's in cahoots with Yin Ruohai? If that's the case, won't there be a trap waiting for us ahead? "
Fairy Hanyue was shocked.
Her guess was right. Liao Yunfeng had intentionally approached them to bait them.
"There's bound to be a trap, but if we want to obtain the corpse, we'll have to beat them at their own game!" Su Yin shook his head.
Even though it had only been nine days since they left the Sacred Ground, Zhang Xuan had spent ten years studying chess with the thirty-six Ancient Sages. This was especially so for the art of chess. He had intentionally asked the thirty-six Ancient Sages along the way to learn more about the Sacred Ground and discern the other party's motive.
Even though the other party had concealed their intentions deeply, Zhang Xuan was still able to discern the crux of the matter. However, he was only a single person, and he had to borrow the other party's strength. Not only could he not fall out with them, he had to rely on their means in order to succeed.
"Is there really an Ancient Sage corpse here?"
While the two of them were communicating telepathically, Fairy Jiuqu also noticed that something was amiss. She stopped what she was doing and frowned.
"Based on what I know, Yin Ruohai is hiding here to push for a breakthrough to Pill Sage!"
Liao Yunfeng replied. "He's just trying to deceive others by making the inner city look like that."
"Let's hope that you're right. Otherwise, it'll be difficult for us to enter the inner city if we cause a ruckus here!" Fairy Jiuqu still felt that something was amiss.
Even though she had not left the inner city for many years, it did not mean that she was dumb. On the contrary, her sixth sense was sharper than her sixth sense.
"Don't worry!"
Liao Yunfeng replied. "This news came from the chief of the Sacred Ground himself, so there's no mistake about it!"
It was only then that Fairy Jiuqu's doubts were alleviated slightly. She turned to look at Su Yin, only to see the latter's calm expression. With a deep frown, he said, "Let's go over!"
Whoosh! The few of them silently flew towards the slightly abandoned courtyard in front of them.
"This was left behind by a small sect that submitted to the Wuwei Sacred Ground. Because they colluded with other Sacred Grounds, Dao Lord Wuwei personally took action and wiped them out. Since then, this place has been abandoned, and no one dares to approach it."
Liao Yunfeng explained the situation to them telepathically as they moved forward.
"A Sage personally took action?"
Everyone looked around in confusion. Indeed, they sensed traces of Saint Origin True Intent in the courtyard. This energy was very thin, but it had a special aura. It was like a tiger marking its territory, and many demons and monsters did not dare to approach it.
Because of this, even though this place was in the inner city, it was abnormally quiet at night. Not a single soul could be seen.
"It's over there!"
After walking for a while, Liao Yunfeng pointed forward. Su Yin and the others looked over and saw a dilapidated room. A small portion of it had collapsed, and there were two quasi-Sages hiding in the corner outside. The smell of Sacred Spirits was released from the room from time to time, as if the remains of a Sage were hidden inside.
The walls of the room were engraved with all kinds of runes. Once activated, even a peak quasi-Sage would find it difficult to break through.
"A Sage Corpse is eternal and will not leak Sacred Spirit Qi. However, Yin Ruohai is not a Sage, so it is inevitable that there will be problems during the refining process. If this kind of energy is leaked out, it will inevitably be noticed by others. However, this courtyard, which was destroyed by a Sage, contains Saint Origin True Intent, so it will not be so suspicious …"
Fairy Jiuqu nodded slowly. She understood why Yin Ruohai chose this place. Although she still felt a little strange, she was already seventy to eighty percent convinced.
If there were any places in this vast Sacred Ground that were suitable for refining a Sage Corpse, this place would definitely be ranked. If she were Yin Ruohai, she would probably choose this place as well.
