Sage Mountain was high and mighty, and those who were not direct descendants of Sage Mountain were not allowed to enter. Even Dao Ancestor Stardefiance had failed several times to visit and meet the Sage.
The circle was different, and the Sage was not willing to meet Progenitors at all. Many Progenitors did not even know of the existence of Sage level characters.
The Sage pursued dominion, while Progenitors pursued benefits and resources. The two levels pursued different things, so there was naturally nothing to talk about. However, Ye Qinghan had obtained the dominion origin energy but did not refine it, which surprised the Profound Star Sage, so he specially summoned him.
To other Progenitors, this was an honor, but to Ye Qinghan, this meeting was a risk, so he left a way out and did not bring Sovereign Ye along.
Tap tap tap …
They kept a low profile all the way to the peak of Sage Mountain.
Sage Mountain was a huge holy land dojo, as big as an independent universe. There were even more experts here, all of whom were slowly cultivated by the Profound Star Sage in case of emergency.
To be vigilant in times of peace, the Star Profound Sages indeed possessed the talents of their predecessors.
The Sage Hall was not in an independent universe, but within the Sage Dojo. There were several majestic mountains of chaos, where order and Dharma and Logos coexisted. Progenitors could not even fly here, and had to walk.
The Sage waved his hand, turning the void into reality and condensing clouds into earth. There were even solid lightning in some places, as if guarding some secrets.
Ye Qinghan looked at the Sage Dojo, which was much bigger than Skygazing Peak. The Dharma and Order contained here were stronger and more formal. They were definitely not on the same level.
No wonder it was said that different circles would come into contact with different things. In the past, the Sage did not care about the secular world, but now it seemed that what he pursued was indeed different. The Sage's heart was not willing to intervene in the secular world, but he also did not care about its affairs and allowed it to develop. He was not even interested in the heavenly medicines of other secondary universes, otherwise there would be many Progenitors here.
"Manor Lord Ye, please come with me." The Star Herder Progenitor gestured with his hand.
Ye Qinghan looked at the Sage Dojo, which was covered in chaos and extremely close to the aura of the Seeking Heaven Domain. He could not help but take a deep breath and think to himself, 'The Profound Star Sage's goal is clear. He wants to restore the Seeking Heaven Domain and derive the essence of the universe.'
Whoosh …
Ye Qinghan subconsciously followed the Star Shepherd Ancestor Realm to the Sage Hall in the Sage Training Ground.
"All of you can leave. Enter the Sage Hall again if you don't have a summon." The Star Herder Ancestor waved his hand to indicate those slaves and said calmly.
The servants quickly retreated, and only Ye Qinghan and the Star Shepherd Ancestor Realm remained. The hall was incomparably majestic, and the sage's throne was filled with majesty. Dragons, tigers, and phoenixes intertwined, and there was also a huge bronze mirror at the top. Inside, there were changes in all things in the world, and there were even changes in the positions of stars. Divine might surged.
This bronze mirror was definitely a primordial divine artifact, but Ye Qinghan did not know what it could do, much less how to use it.
"Lord Sage, Ye Qinghan of the Crazy Manor is here for an audience." The Star Herder Progenitor bowed like a disciple and respectfully said to the bronze mirror above the throne.
Whoosh …
The bronze mirror flashed with divine light, and an expert walked out from the bronze mirror. He had white hair and a ruddy complexion, giving off an indescribable immortal aura.
Hiss …
Ye Qinghan sucked in a breath of cold air and immediately bowed with cupped fists. "Ye Qinghan of the Crazy Manor greets the sage."
Hahaha …
The Star Herder Sage laughed heartily and slowly sat on the throne. He stretched out his hand and gestured. "Sit down, there's no need to stand on ceremony. This old man is very curious as to who actually obtained the ruler's energy source but did not refine it. Now that I've met you, you are indeed a dragon among men. This old man is impressed."
Ye Qinghan looked at the Star Herder Progenitor Realm, then bowed and retreated.
Whoosh …
Ye Qinghan did not restrain himself and bowed slightly. He then sat on the chair on the right and cupped his fists. "Lord Sage, I wonder what instructions you have for this junior?"
"There's no need for instructions. You are not my disciple, nor are you my follower, so there's no need for instructions. I called you here today to see your understanding of the Sage, as well as your view of the universe and the ruler." The Star Herder Sage went straight to the point and asked directly.
Ye Qinghan's eyebrows twitched. He did not expect this Great Sage to call him here just to ask about these things.
"Lord Sage, you think too highly of this junior. I know nothing about the Sage's power, and I only have a superficial understanding of the universe, let alone the illusory realm of the ruler." Ye Qinghan said truthfully.
The Star Herder Sage looked at Ye Qinghan in astonishment and asked curiously, "Then why did you obtain the ruler's energy but not refine it?"
Ye Qinghan smiled bitterly, stood up, and said truthfully, "Because that energy source is not just a pure energy source. It has flesh, blood, and emotions. It is a godly pet that has accompanied me as I grew up. How could this junior disregard emotions for a so-called realm?"
Hahahaha …
The Star Herder Sage laughed and clapped his hands. "This old man thought that your state of mind had surpassed the Sage's, that you would not be happy with material gains or sad for yourself. It turns out that you were bound by emotions, which is why you did not refine it. This old man thought too much."
Ye Qinghan cupped his fists and said, "The Sage thinks too highly of this junior. How can this junior's state of mind be compared to the Sage's?"
"If you don't refine the ruler's energy source, aren't you afraid that the Sage will take it away?" The Star Herder Sage gestured for Ye Qinghan to sit down and then asked again.
"Even plants have emotions. This junior is a human, so naturally, I have emotions. I will do my best to protect it. If I can't, there's nothing I can do. As long as I have a clear conscience, it's fine." Ye Qinghan sat down and said truthfully.
The Star Herder Sage nodded and sighed. "You are the ancestor with the calmest state of mind that this old man has ever seen. In my opinion, all the Sages, including the Sages of the Third Planet, are not qualified to become rulers. If they could become rulers, we would have already become rulers. You young people have a chance."
Ye Qinghan had not expected this Sage to be so open-minded. He could not help but admire him. The state of mind of a Sage and a Dao Ancestor were indeed different.
"Little Friend Ye, can you let me see your spirit pet? Don't worry, this old man is not a person who bullies the weak. Naturally, I will not refine your spirit pet. I just want to see what a living ruler's energy source looks like. "The Star Herder Sage looked at Ye Qinghan expectantly and asked.
Ye Qinghan was shocked. It was impossible for him to give Supreme Ye to others. Jian Chenxue and Emperor Ye were the limit. If he gave Supreme Ye to others, he might as well refine it himself.
"Lord Sage, this junior has already hidden the spirit pet. I'm sorry. It's not that this junior doesn't trust you, Lord Sage, but it's important to be wary of others. I hope the Sage can understand," Ye Qinghan said bluntly.
The Star Herder Sage was not angry. It was just the origin of the ruler's energy. It did not matter whether he saw it or not. However, other Sages were different. Not everyone was like him, who did not feel joy or sorrow.
"It's okay. You and I hit it off at first sight. This old man will take you around. Perhaps it will be beneficial for you. You might be able to advance to the Sage Realm without refining the ruler's energy." The Star Herder Sage's wise eyes flickered as he gestured with his hand.
Ye Qinghan looked grateful. He cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Lord Sage."
