Su Yin was puzzled. "You have already discovered the problem, and you have 36 Ancient Sages, the propagators of human civilization. How is it that you can't solve it?"
Yang Xuan said, "It's been some time since you came to the Celestial Realm. What do you think of the beliefs of the human race?"
Su Yin frowned. "It's a bit messy!"
The Wuwei Sacred Ground worshipped Dao Lord Wuwei; the Herb Mountain worshipped the Medicine Sage; the Illusion Mountain worshipped the Illusion Sage and the Illusion Sage …
"It's not just messy! There were 108 Ancient Sages in the human race in ancient times. In other words, there are 72 Ancient Sages other than us! Each of them has their own beliefs and beliefs. It's extremely difficult to unify them. It might even be an impossible task. "
Yang Xuan smiled bitterly.
Su Yin understood.
He could use his previous life as an example. The country he was in had always wanted to develop sustainably and improve the Earth's environment so that the human race could become more civilized and stable … But what about the neighboring countries? They polluted the oceans with waste water, and the beautiful countries even further away were even more shameless.
Take the virus he encountered before transmigrating as an example. As long as it was isolated, it could have been easily eradicated. However, many shameless countries used the pretext of "power" to not wear masks or seal off the entire human race. In the end, they brought an unprecedented disaster to the human race.
In fact … the virus might even have been caused by them.
There were many Sages, and each of them had their own beliefs. It was impossible to unify them.
"Therefore, after becoming remnant wills, we have been thinking about whether we can cultivate a super cultivator who can surpass all the Sages. That way, all the Sages will submit to us, and we can unify the management and set the rules to create a new era!"
Yang Xuan continued. "Then, we can lead the human race to better development and progress!"
"So … you chose me?" Su Yin came to a realization.
Yang Xuan nodded. "You are talented and smart. You easily learned all 36 of our Great Daos and surpassed the other Sages. In fact … you might even surpass the Firmament and the Yellow Spring. If such a day really comes, we hope to unify the world and set the rules again. When that time comes, you will be the supreme emperor of the human race. Then, the Sages will have their own duties and will not interfere with each other … "
Su Yin was stunned. "Isn't that just establishing a Heavenly Court?"
The world that the other party was imagining was similar to the Heavenly Court in his previous life. Immortals of all occupations were worshipped by their respective occupations, but everyone had to obey the rules left behind by the heavens.
"That's right, the human race needs an emperor! An emperor who can speak and make all the Saints submit to him … "
Seeing that Zhang Xuan had understood the situation, Yang Xuan nodded.
Su Yin was silent.
In many cases, it was a good thing that power was scattered and not centralized. It wasn't feudal and democratic. But … if the government wasn't unified, it would be a regression in history.
Humans could only have one head, one head, or two heads. Furthermore, their thoughts were different. No matter what they did, their efficiency would be greatly reduced.
Su Yin asked, "Just now, you said that there are 108 Ancient Sages of human beings in total. Is it possible that the Heavenly Dome Master and the Nether Master are not among them?"
Yang Xuan shook his head. "Of course not. They aren't humans, and they aren't human Ancient Sages! The 108 people we're talking about are all human saints … "
Su Yin finally understood. "Then … what about the remaining 72?"
Yang Xuan replied, "Their views are different from ours. The reason why Li Qiaofu was killed back then was because of the Martial Saint among them."
Su Yin asked, "Martial Saint?"
He had heard Han Luoxue say that swordsmanship was a type of martial arts. Could the Martial Saint he was talking about be the super expert who had comprehended martial arts?
Yang Xuan replied, "That's right. He's ranked first among the 108 Ancient Sages. He's not much weaker than the Heavenly Dome Master and the Nether Master! Initially, we wanted him to command the human race. But in the end, not only did he not agree to it, he even turned against us … "
Su Yin asked, "It's a good thing to command the human race. Why didn't he agree to it?"
Yang Xuan replied awkwardly, "It's a good thing. The bad thing is that Song Yu … slept with the other party's wife!"
"???" Su Yin was stunned. He found it hard to breathe.
No wonder his thirty-six teachers had failed. Among this group of people, there was indeed not a single one that was easy to deal with. Especially Song Yu laoshi … She was simply invincible, alright!
"I wasn't the one who wanted to sleep with her … She was the one who raped me!"
Song Yu looked aggrieved. "The Martial Saint's wife is a Martial Saint. She was already a sixth rank pinnacle Martial Saint back then. I was no match for her …"
"…" Su Yin was speechless.
Scumbag! You're still pretending to be innocent after taking advantage of me.
You didn't agree to it, and she really forced you to sleep with her?
What a joke!
Yang Xuan said, "In any case, the remaining 72 either didn't agree to it or didn't care about it. Later on, the Heavenly Dome Master, the Nether Master, and the other experts knew that we wanted to ally with the human race. They mistakenly thought that the human race wanted to kill us all, so they acted in advance. Then … we ended up in our current state!"
Only then did he understand the truth of what had happened ten thousand years ago. Su Yin sighed.
Were the 36 Ancient Sages wrong? To the entire human race, it was not bad!
Were the 72 Ancient Sages wrong? To themselves, it was not bad either!
What about the Heavenly Dome Master, the Nether Master, and the others?
They were not wrong either.
Unfortunately, that was how it happened.
There was no right or wrong. There was only life and death.
"In any case, the matter is very complicated!"
Yang Xuan continued. "Since you have yet to overcome the lightning tribulation, the 72 Ancient Sages might have ignored you. After all, we are all humans, and it is beneath their dignity to hunt down Half-Sages. However, you have already overcome the lightning tribulation and assimilated ten strands of the power of laws. I fear that … they will come looking for trouble very soon."
"That shouldn't be the case, right?" Su Yin frowned.
Yang Xuan sighed. "They will. The greatest weakness of the human race is infighting. The Ancient Sages might feel pity for those of other races, but they are the most vicious when it comes to their own kind! For example, if your son and an outsider commit the same mistake at the same time, would you beat up the outsider or your son? "
"Of course, it would be my son …" Su Yin said.
"Indeed, they are the same!" Yang Xuan said. "In truth, this is also the reason why the Phoenix Monarch wanted you to establish the Sanctum as soon as possible. With the Sanctum, you will have a righteous reputation. Even if the Ancient Sages want to make a move on you, they will do it openly instead of assassinating you in secret. However, it would be detrimental to the reputation of the human race if he were to speak of this matter openly.
Su Yin widened his eyes in realization. "Then … how strong are the 72 Ancient Sages? Compared to you? "
Yang Xuan asked grimly. "Back then, we weren't a match for them even at our peak. Ten thousand years later, no one knows how strong they have become. Even the weakest of them is at grade-4."
"This …" Su Yin's lips twitched.
He had thought that he would be able to challenge the world after achieving a breakthrough to grade-4, but in the end, he had only just stepped out of the Novice Village …
Li Qiaofu consoled him. "Don't worry. You have comprehended the Way of the Sword and assimilated so many precepts. Even though you are only a grade-4 Saint, your fighting prowess is comparable to a grade-5 Saint. If you think about it carefully, there aren't many of the 72 Ancient Sages who can kill you!"
Su Yin heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he asked another question that had been bothering him. "Xue Qianqiu, Lingxiao Sage, Daolord Wuwei, and the others are all humans. How did they manage to join the Firmament Sect?"
Yang Xuan said, "The human race is strong. Accepting humans as disciples is to strengthen the Firmament Sect, gain their recognition, and absorb more power of faith … Of course, the most important question is, are there any other races other than the human race for them to accept?"
"…" Su Yin was speechless.
After two days of interaction, he realized that the human race was the strongest in the Celestial Realm. The other races were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
It was already difficult to find one or two of them, let alone a genius among them …
"Alright, we're here …"
A voice sounded in his ear. Su Yin realized that he had returned to the depths of the Myriad Ruins Cavern. Countless stars floated in front of him, illuminating his surroundings.
"The place where the Heaven Measuring Ruler used to live won't do!"
Although the planet was full of energy and suitable for cultivating the physical body, it was too hot. Even an expert like Fairy Jiuqu would be dehydrated after staying there for a few days, let alone an ordinary Sage-to-be.
He extended his Spiritual Perception and scanned his surroundings.
Previously, he was only a Quasi-Saint, so he did not dare to look too closely. Now that he had reached grade-4, his strength had increased by at least a hundred times. Huge planets appeared in his mind.
It had to be said that this place was huge, and there were so many planets that it was like a vast universe.
There were scorching fiery planets, icy icy planets, gemstone planets full of mineral resources, medicinal planets full of medicinal herbs …
In short, there was everything that one could think of.
His Spiritual Perception continued to extend deeper and deeper. Suddenly, he stopped. "This is it …"
An azure planet appeared in his sight. It was similar in size to Earth in his previous life, but it was slightly shriveled and devoid of life.
"Let's go!"
A few minutes later, he landed on it.
It was similar to Earth's gravity, suitable for human survival.
"Teacher Su, can I trouble you to build a larger portal to draw in the Spiritual Qi from the Celestial World …"
After looking around, Su Yin was very satisfied.
Su Xiuyi nodded and went to the side to set up a formation.
Seeing that he was ready, Su Yin waved his hand, and the Puppet Dao appeared. He created a large number of puppets and scattered them to other planets to collect various ores and treasures, build palaces, and build residences.
Zhang Xuan had learned the art of architecture, and he had also learned the art of landscaping. He quickly constructed the blueprint in his mind and tossed it over to the puppets. Not too long later, massive halls began to appear one after another.
At this time, Su Xiuyi had also finished building the portal. As soon as the huge portal was activated, countless Spiritual Qi was immediately torn apart. The entire planet seemed to have recovered its Spiritual Qi.
He threw out the seeds of the plants, flowers, and medicinal herbs that he had prepared and cultivated them according to the Sage Agriculture Dao.
In less than two hours, the entire planet had changed. It was like a real sacred ground.
At this time, Senior Lin Xuan led the people here. He could not help but praise when he saw how quickly the sacred ground was built.
"Senior Brother, I'll leave the sealing to you …"
Lin Xuan nodded.
Although he was an early-stage third-rank Saint, he was good at sealing. With the help of the dangerous layout, even a fifth-rank Saint would not be able to break in.
After making some arrangements, Su Yin left the planet and flew straight into the distance. Soon, he arrived at the planet where the Heaven Measuring Ruler was hidden.
"Can the core of this planet really be the sun?"
Su Yin looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.
That planet was indeed good as a sacred ground. It was hidden and quiet, and it was not disturbed by the outside world. However, there was also a flaw, and that was … there was no sun of the Celestial World.
Without sunlight, even if the plants could grow in a short time, they would wither. Cultivators would also be spiritless, and their progress would become slower and slower.
Therefore, the sun, moon, and stars were all necessary.
"The best sun is naturally the Solar True Flame Pill refined by the Golden Crow Sage. However, there are only three of them. You've already consumed one of them … It's almost impossible to get another one!"
The Heaven Measuring Ruler said, "The core of this planet is a solid fireball. It's incomparably hot. I've made some calculations. It can keep emitting heat for tens of thousands of years without a problem. The only flaw is that it's not as gentle as the sun, and it will have some side effects on cultivation. Of course, it won't be affected much in the short term!"
"Alright!"
Su Yin nodded. "Let's go down and take a look!"
How could a sacred ground be called a sacred ground if it did not even have a sun? This was something that was essential.
Su Yin returned to the valley from before. He swayed slightly and went down.
Previously, when he had not achieved a breakthrough in his physical body, he could only go about a hundred li. Now that he was a fourth-rank Saint, he was able to go through this distance and continue going deeper.
Two hundred li!
Three hundred li!
…
In a few breaths, he was already four hundred li away.
Even though he was a fourth-rank Saint, he could still feel the scorching heat.
However, it was still bearable. It was not too difficult.
It did not take long for him to pass through five hundred li, and he found himself in a massive cavern.
He had been wondering what kind of world lay behind the lava, but it was only at this moment that he saw it with his own eyes.
Just as the Heaven Measuring Ruler had said, it was a massive fireball with a diameter of around a hundred li. It was so hot that even a grade-3 Saint artifact would not be able to last long in there.
There was a gap of around a hundred meters between the fireball and the lava, and they were currently in the middle of this gap.
"After the old master was killed, I knew that I would be assimilated by the other Sages if I were to continue staying in the Celestial World. Thus, I fled here and found this place!"
The Heaven Measuring Ruler said. "Here, I can absorb the heat from the fireball to temper my body and become stronger."
Su Yin nodded.
Putting aside the fact that the fireball was very useful to the Heaven Measuring Ruler, even Zhang Xuan's physical body would improve significantly if he were to cultivate on it for a long period of time.
If not for the fact that he had undergone the 6-Nine Lightning Tribulation, he might not have been able to withstand the heat just by standing there.
"It's not as gentle as the Solar Trueflame, but if one were to bathe in it for a long period of time and use a special cultivation technique to nourish one's body, not only would it allow one's physical body to improve rapidly, it would also temper one's Zhen Yuan.
Su Yin's eyes glowed.
The Solar Trueflame was suitable for any lifeform, but this fireball was not any weaker. If used well, it would be even more effective!
