Chapter 308

"Hehe, not only is the strength different, but the potential is also completely different."

Xiang Hongxuan nodded, not surprised at all.

Sure enough, even in the Sub-Saint realm, one needs to accumulate a foundation.

The foundation of the first heaven of the Sub-Saint is completely different from that of the second heaven.

Naturally, it will affect future achievements and potential.

Of course, the gap between the second heaven and the ninth heaven is also the difference between heaven and earth.

After attaining the Saint Dao in the future, the strength and potential will also be completely different.

"Xiang Hongxuan, do you think that once you advance to Sub-Saint, you can defeat a true Saint?"

"All below the Saint are ants; presumably, even a Sub-Saint would be killed in seconds!"

Xiang Hongxuan hesitated for a moment, and finally expressed his own view.

In Xiang Hongxuan's view, once one attains the Saint Dao, both the realm and the essence of life transform into another dimension.

They are simply not on the same level.

Even if a Sub-Saint is awesome, they are still a member of a lower level.

Originally, Xiang Hongxuan thought his thinking was correct, but unexpectedly, Houtu opposite him nodded and then shook her head.

This made Xiang Hongxuan confused again.

"You are right, but you are not entirely right!"

"A first-heaven Sub-Saint can indeed be easily killed by a Saint."

"Not only the first heaven, but even a second-heaven or third-heaven Sub-Saint would be killed in seconds."

"However, once a Sub-Saint reaches the fourth heaven, even if they can't win, they have the qualification to save their life in the hands of a Saint, and can even escape."

"A fifth-heaven Sub-Saint can even turn the tables and fight an early-stage Saint to a draw; of course, they are not a match for a mid-stage Saint, but they can still escape."

"A sixth-heaven Sub-Saint possesses the combat power to rival a mid-stage Saint, but still cannot resist a late-stage Saint."

"Whether it is a fifth-heaven or sixth-heaven Saint, even if they can fight a Saint to a draw, they can absolutely never win against a Saint."

"However, once they reach the seventh heaven of the Sub-Saint, it is completely different."

"They can easily defeat an early-stage Saint, and can remain undefeated in the hands of mid-stage and late-stage Saints, and sometimes, can even suppress them in turn."

"As for the eighth heaven of the Sub-Saint, it is a brand new level; as long as they are not besieged by Saints, they will absolutely not be defeated."

Hearing Houtu's narration, Xiang Hongxuan's eyes were extremely excited.

Is the Sub-Saint actually this awesome?

Especially after reaching the seventh and eighth heavens of the Sub-Saint, it is a complete transformation.

Even the so-called Saints probably wouldn't be taken seriously, right!

But, how terrifying would the ninth heaven of the Sub-Saint be?

"What about the ninth heaven of the Sub-Saint?!"

"Once you advance to the ninth heaven of the Sub-Saint, hehe, you can easily defeat the so-called Saints."

"It is already comparable to a perfect Saint!"

"Except for not having the immortal and indestructible ability of a Saint, a ninth-heaven Sub-Saint completely crushes a Saint!"

Xiang Hongxuan frowned.

"If a ninth-heaven Sub-Saint breaks through the realm, what then?"

"Xiang Hongxuan, if a Saint advances to the perfect realm, it will be an extremely difficult thing to break through to the Heavenly Dao realm."

"But looking at the ninth heaven of the Sub-Saint, once the bottleneck is broken, it means one can instantly reach the perfection of a Saint."

"This perfect Saint is not that perfect Saint; breaking through to the Heavenly Dao realm above the Saint again will be extremely easy!"

"The foundation and accumulation of the ninth heaven of the Sub-Saint, after breaking through, are enough to support one to continuously break through two major realms and smoothly reach the Heavenly Dao realm."

"Xiang Hongxuan, you should now know how important the Sub-Saint realm is for a true seeker of the Dao!"

When Houtu spoke of the ninth heaven of the Sub-Saint, a look of envy could not help but flash in her beautiful eyes.

Unfortunately, when she attained the Saint Dao, she created the Six Paths of Reincarnation and attained the Saint Dao by obtaining endless merit.

It was far from comparable to the Sub-Saint Dao.

"Houtu, could there be even greater benefits?"

Seeing Houtu's expression, Xiang Hongxuan's heart moved, and he asked subconsciously.

"That's right, attaining the Heavenly Dao realm from the ninth heaven of the Sub-Saint means one has the qualification to achieve the realm above the Heavenly Dao."

"The realm above the Heavenly Dao?"

"Is there a realm above the Heavenly Dao? Could it be the legendary Great Dao realm?"

Xiang Hongxuan was also completely shocked.

In his heart, the Saint realm was already remarkable.

The Heavenly Dao realm was the pinnacle of the entire Primordial World.

Now, hearing again that there was a higher realm above the Heavenly Dao.

Xiang Hongxuan's heart beat wildly and uncontrollably.

This was the excitement and enthusiasm of understanding the path ahead of the Great Dao.

This did not strike Xiang Hongxuan, but instead made his fighting spirit even higher.

Hearing Houtu's words, Xiang Hongxuan also understood a general idea.

In the final analysis, the entire Sub-Saint realm was a realm for laying a solid foundation for a further path in the future.

In this realm, the more solid the foundation, the more beneficial it would be for the future.

If possible, one must reach the ninth heaven of the Sub-Saint.

Only then would there be a possibility of attaining the realm above the Heavenly Dao in the future.......

Conversely, even if one only reached the eighth heaven of the Sub-Saint, one could certainly attain the Hunyuan Dao, or even the Heavenly Dao, but one might be forever shackled in the Heavenly Dao realm.

And never have a chance at the realm above the Heavenly Dao.

"Xiang Hongxuan, are you thinking now that you must achieve the ninth heaven of the Sub-Saint in the future?"

Houtu smiled slightly, but then shook her head and sighed.

"Unfortunately, this idea is almost impossible to realize."

"Ah? Why?"

"Hehe, I just said it, the nine steps of the Sub-Saint, each step is a heaven!"

"That is to say, in the Sub-Saint realm, every step forward means crossing a gap between heaven and earth!"

"Every gap between heaven and earth will be a qualitative leap."

"Of course, the difficulty will also be a qualitative increase!"

"Advancing from Quasi-Saint perfection to the first heaven of the Sub-Saint is already extremely difficult."

"So far, in the entire Primordial World, except for you, Xiang Hongxuan, no one has been able to succeed."

"One can imagine the difficulty of advancing to Sub-Saint."

"If the first heaven is already so terrifying, then what about the subsequent second heaven, third heaven, and up to the ninth heaven?"

"Is the difficulty of every step a qualitative increase?"

"In other words, reaching the ninth heaven of the Sub-Saint will be nine transformations?"

"Such difficulty, even achieving the Saint realm, or even achieving the Heavenly Dao realm, is much easier than this!"

Houtu sighed at the end, and then encouraged him again:

"However, if you, Xiang Hongxuan, can advance to the fourth heaven of the Sub-Saint, then you will be the best in the Primordial World."

"In the future, there will be a high probability of surpassing that person in the Zixiao Palace; of course, that also includes me!"

Xiang Hongxuan frowned; even Houtu said so, it seems it is really very difficult.

Houtu knows how terrifying his comprehension is.

She also knows how heaven-defying his cultivation talent is.

But even so, she didn't have much confidence in him.

In fact, even advancing to the fourth heaven of the Sub-Saint was filled with a hint of expectation.

This aroused Xiang Hongxuan's competitive spirit.

"Houtu, I wonder what the Sub-Saint method you just mentioned is..."

Before Xiang Hongxuan could ask, Houtu interrupted directly.

"I know what you mean; that's right, it is exactly as you think."
