In the secret room.
Elder Fenglei, Li Wuyu, and the other peak saints of the ancient pagoda lineage discussed for a few hours.
Unfortunately, the six of them still didn't reach a consensus.
Li Wuyu believed in not using people he didn't trust. Since Gu Xuan was someone Li Wuya had his eyes on, there shouldn't be too much suspicion.
They could just let Gu Xuan meet the Pagoda Master. The most important thing was to be fast.
The Pagoda Master's condition was very bad and couldn't be delayed.
After Gu Xuan met the Pagoda Master, it would be good if he could treat the Pagoda Master.
If Gu Xuan's ability was limited, they could give up quickly and find other ways to treat the Pagoda Master.
Li Wuyu's point of view was approved by his three junior brothers and sisters. Including himself, he had four votes.
According to the majority rule, his point of view should be implemented.
Unfortunately, in front of the Grand Elder and Second Elder, there was no such thing as the minority rule.
The two of them didn't agree to bring Gu Xuan to meet the Pagoda Master rashly. They wanted to observe Gu Xuan for a while.
It would be best if Gu Xuan could refine some grade-9 pills in front of everyone to prove his alchemy skills.
Only then would they be at ease.
As for Gu Xuan's so-called title of "World's Number One Pill Emperor", they didn't believe it.
In the Three Thousand Worlds, there were a total of three thousand worlds with names.
Some of the weaker worlds might only have two or three pill emperors.
Could the number one pill emperor in such a weak world be believed?
The conversation in the secret room didn't progress.
Li Wuyu was getting more and more anxious.
He had always had a secret in his heart.
And this secret was discovered when he went to take care of the Pagoda Master alone. No one knew.
Everyone thought that the Pagoda Master had always been in a coma.
But only Li Wuyu knew that the Pagoda Master woke up once a year ago.
At that time, Li Wuyu was overjoyed, thinking that the Pagoda Master's injuries were showing signs of improvement. He wanted to inform the other disciples but was stopped by the Pagoda Master.
The Pagoda Master told Li Wuyu that his injuries had been worsening and there was no possibility of him recovering on his own.
The reason why he woke up was that his body had entered a state of terminal lucidity. At most, he could last for another year or so before the vitality in his body started to dissipate.
Once his life force was completely cut off, even if the ancient deities descended, they would not be able to save him.
Taking advantage of the state of terminal lucidity, the Tower Master told Li Wuyu some things, asked him to keep some inheritance items, and asked him to keep what happened that day a secret.
After that, the Pagoda Master fell into a deep sleep again.
A year passed day by day as Li Wuyu counted with his fingers.
No one knew better than him that the Pagoda Master's body would enter a countdown in the next few days. If he didn't take the risk now, he might not even have the chance to do so.
Because of this, after Li Wuyu sensed that Gu Xuan, an Elixir Emperor, had entered the Sword Tomb Cave Dwelling, he ignored the obstruction of his senior brothers and sisters, withstanding the pressure of offending the Nine Poisons Valley and the Hundred Cities Alliance to save Gu Xuan.
Unfortunately, although Gu Xuan had saved the Pagoda Master, the idea of having Gu Xuan heal the Pagoda Master's injuries could not be realized.
In the eyes of Elder Zephyr and the others, although the Pagoda Master was unconscious, his condition had always been very stable. There would not be any problems in the short term.
Standing from their perspective, they naturally hoped that Gu Xuan was as reliable as possible.
If there were any signs of him being unreliable, they would never allow him to get close to the Pagoda Master.
Firstly, the matter of the Pagoda Master falling into a coma was a major secret. Even in the ancient pagoda lineage, only Elder Zephyr and the other five peak saints, as well as a Grade 8 Alchemy Grandmaster, a total of seven people knew about it.
Secondly, the Pagoda Master was a Perfection Stage expert. He had fallen into a coma because he was severely injured by another expert of the same level.
Even a top-notch Elixir Emperor would have an extremely low chance of healing such an injury.
Only those alchemists who were on the verge of a breakthrough and had the chance to become a Elixir Saint would have the means to heal the Pagoda Master.
And Gu Xuan was obviously not one of those Elixir Emperors with outstanding talents.
Therefore, apart from Li Wuyu, the others didn't think that it was urgent to let Gu Xuan check on the Pagoda Master's injuries.
This was the fundamental reason why this discussion was in a deadlock.
Right now, Gu Xuan was still in his room, sitting cross-legged and cultivating.
He was already at the initial-level saint realm and was at the peak state. He was just a step away from reaching the peak and he would be able to advance to the mid-level saint realm.
In fact, if he forcefully took this step, there was a high chance that he would succeed.
However, Gu Xuan didn't do so.
Forcefully breaking through was only suitable for martial artists who were stuck at the low-level saint realm and couldn't make any progress.
Gu Xuan wasn't stuck in this realm, but he felt that he couldn't find the most perfect opportunity to advance.
During these few hours, Gu Xuan had been trying to find the opportunity.
Once he found it, he would be able to increase his strength to the greatest extent with the advancement of a small cultivation level.
With Gu Xuan's current strength, he could contest with a top-notch high-level saint in a normal battle without sacrificing his lifespan or using any forbidden techniques.
But if that top-notch high-level saint had a monarch fate, emperor artifact, or some heaven-defying life-risking technique, then Gu Xuan would have to use a method that would exhaust a lot of his strength or even burn his lifespan.
If he could find the perfect opportunity to advance, Gu Xuan was confident that after becoming a mid-level saint, he would be able to fight against several peak level saints with his normal combat strength.
Once he used some forbidden methods like the Great Sacrificial Art, he would be able to slay even more peak stage saints under his sword! Gu Xuan was confident! He started to organize all the cultivation techniques that he cultivated since he became a martial artist and demonstrated them in his mind. He hoped to use this method to comprehend them.
As Gu Xuan pondered, mystical runes were condensed in this small room.
They were like illusions and after they appeared, they revolved around Gu Xuan.
After circling for a moment, they gradually dissipated as though they never appeared. It was very mystical.
Time elapsed by the minutes and seconds.
It was unknown how long had passed when Gu Xuan's mind suddenly flashed with radiance.
He thought of three words: Perfection stage! The realm above the saint was the perfection stage.
The saint realm had four minor stages: low-level, mid-level, high-level, and peak! These four minor stages were like a flight of stairs between the first and the last.
These stairs must never be seen alone.
That was because these stairs all led to the great circle of the Great Circle! "If I only think about advancing from low-level saint to mid-level saint, then I am short-sighted.
If I only have one flight of stairs in my eyes and think about how to cross this flight of stairs, then I will never be able to find the perfect opportunity to advance.
Because there are a total of four perfect opportunities to advance! The four interrelated and complementary ones! "
Gu Xuan muttered to himself.
Rumble! All of a sudden, Gu Xuan's sea of consciousness shook violently.
Two paths appeared in the sea of consciousness and it was extremely mystical.
At the end of one path, there was a 'mid-level saint' stone tablet. This path was very short and could be completed in just a few steps.
Behind the stone tablet, there was a patch of fog. It was obvious that there was a path behind the fog, but it was temporarily invisible.
The other path was very long and it led straight to the horizon.
This path could take a thousand steps or even ten thousand steps.
There was no end in sight.
But the further one went, the wider the path was.
This was a great path that led to the heavens! A mini Gu Xuan that was condensed from soul spirit power automatically appeared in the sea of consciousness and stood in between the two paths! Right at this moment, a large amount of information poured into Gu Xuan's mind.
This was the information from the great path that led to the heavens.
The mini Gu Xuan's eyes were flashing with radiance.
"Divergent Path Dao Seeking?
It turns out that I am not the only one who is confused about advancing.
This situation can be triggered by any low-level saint. It is called 'Divergent Path Dao Seeking'! The first path seems very simple.
The second path was simply too difficult and risky.
But the more difficult it is, the more I like it. The greater the risk, the greater the reward! Is there a need to choose which path to advance? "
