Chapter 1021: Expectation

In the Lingxiao Baodian of the Heavenly Court, some immortals and gods were whispering to each other.

Many were extremely shocked by the suddenly appearing voice; if that person were truly to transcend, it would be quite a spectacle.

Even if they did not transcend, it is estimated that their realm would still advance; being at the Quasi-Saint Peak already, a further advancement would likely mean they are half a step into being a Saint.

This would probably make them the number one person in the Honghuang, right?

Even the Old Lord, one of the Three Corpses of the Taiqing Saint, might not necessarily possess such a realm.

Although the Heavenly Court Lord, by virtue of this fruit status, can be comparable to a Saint, that is only within this Heavenly Court.

Once the power of the Heavenly Court is lost, he is merely a Quasi-Saint.

In the past, the Heavenly Court often tried to win over this Taoist Sect great power, but unfortunately, he was famously indifferent to fame and wealth; he did not even care about the sacrifices of the Human Race, so he naturally did not care about the Qi of Luck of the Heavenly Court.

Clearly, the other party is indeed formidable, and now there are even faint signs of transcendence.

They certainly do not believe that the voice from just now was joking.

Especially the Quasi-Saints, who faintly felt the trembling of this world.

It is clear that this person is truly going to transcend, and furthermore, is a Great Supernatural Being who, after the Dao Ancestor, is about to break through relying solely on himself.

For the Honghuang, having one more Saint is a good thing; the Dao Fruit and Heaven and Earth Law of a Saint can also feed back into the Honghuang, strengthening the origin of the world.

It is not the case that the higher the cultivation, the higher the consumption.

After cultivating to the Quasi-Saint level, almost the majority of cultivators no longer absorb the Spirit Energy of the Honghuang; in the past, when the Innate Spiritual Qi of the Honghuang was still present, that was fine.

Now that the Honghuang is shattered and the Innate Spiritual Qi has degraded into Acquired Spiritual Qi, Quasi-Saints will not absorb and refine it at all, but will instead directly convert Chaos Qi.

Although Chaos Qi is violent and erratic, and cultivators below the Quasi-Saint level would likely be shaken to death upon touching it, Quasi-Saints already have the ability to handle it.

And the methods of a Saint are even stronger; they can even convert Chaos Qi into Innate Spiritual Qi to nourish the Honghuang, something the Saints have done before.

Especially in their Grotto-Heaven, where Saints have used supernatural powers to turn Chaos Qi into Innate Spiritual Qi to nourish the Grotto-Heaven.

After all, the Honghuang no longer has Innate Spiritual Qi; even though many Dongtian Worlds have Innate Spiritual Qi, now that the world is shattered and there is no Fetal Membrane to convert Chaos Qi into Innate Spiritual Qi, these Dongtian Worlds have also become rootless duckweed.

Innate Spiritual Qi is something that decreases the more it is absorbed.

Naturally, the Saints do not allow their own Grotto-Heaven to degenerate, so they use supernatural powers to convert Innate Spiritual Qi.

This not only allows their Grotto-Heaven to be maintained but also serves to compensate for previous karma.

At the same time, in the Lingxiao Baodian, many immortals and gods also hope that the person can transcend; for one, if that person transcends, it is beneficial to the Honghuang, as the reinforcement of the origin is stronger than the Honghuang devouring the origins of several Great Thousand Worlds.

By then, the Honghuang will also be safer.

Now that the Dao Ancestor and the Saints have all left the Honghuang, once they truly encounter external enemies, the Honghuang will likely be in danger.

Although there are existences comparable to Saints in the Honghuang, such as Houtu Niangniang and the Heavenly Court Lord, who can exert power comparable to a Saint at certain times.

However, this kind of Saint power has great limitations and is far inferior to the six Saints.

Although the Honghuang has not yet encountered power comparable to a Saint in the external worlds it has met, no one can guarantee whether it will be encountered in the future.

The Honghuang is shattered, and without Buzhoushan to suppress it, it has now become rootless duckweed in Chaos.

The Honghuang is also like those external worlds, facing various worlds; it is just that the Honghuang is stronger, so it has always been able to plunder the origins of other worlds to strengthen its own world origin.

However, one cannot walk by the river often without getting one's shoes wet; once they encounter a peak world, a world possessing Saint-level power, then the Honghuang will be in danger.

At that time, would they, these immortals and gods, not become prey for the external demon gods to hunt for their origins?

In the past, they hunted the Innate Gods and Demons of other worlds, seizing their origins to increase their own world's origin and their own foundations.

But they certainly do not want to become someone else's nourishment.

And once Zhenyuanzi truly breaks through, it would have no impact on them, and they would even have an extra trump card.

After all, Zhenyuanzi breaking through to become a Saint is not becoming a Saint through the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Moreover, the number of Saints in a world is not constant; on the contrary, the more Saints there are, the greater the benefit to the world.

After all, when a Saint achieves the Dao, they imprint their own Dao into the world, which also increases the foundation of the world.

And more importantly, once a Saint appears, the Heaven and Earth Law of the Honghuang will be active for a period of time, which is the best opportunity for cultivating, realizing the Dao, and sensing the laws.

Why did those Great Supernatural Beings progress so quickly after the Dao Ancestor became a Saint? It was not only because the Dao Ancestor was preaching in Zixiao Palace, but also because the Dao Ancestor became a Saint, making the Heaven and Earth Law increasingly active; at that time, sensing the laws was also the easiest.

It was as if Heaven had opened a cheat for all living beings.

Many of them did not enjoy the benefits of the Dao Ancestor's time.

After all, these immortals and gods are all considered second-generation disciples of the Three Teachings or others; when the Dao Ancestor achieved the Dao, many immortals and gods had not yet taken human form.

Even those who had taken human form only had cultivation at the Heavenly Immortal or True Immortal level; even those with good foundations who reached the Golden Immortal level found it difficult to sense much.

After all, truly sensing the laws mostly happens at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.

Those at the Golden Immortal level who can sense the laws are few and far between, almost non-existent.

They missed the timing of the Dao Ancestor's achievement of the Dao, and after the Zixiao Palace preaching, they were unable to listen to the Dao Ancestor's preaching; thus, now even the Saints have left.

If they want to improve their realm, they have to rely on time to slowly grind it out.

Sometimes, they cannot improve even a bit for hundreds of thousands of years, and they are already mentally prepared for this.

Of course, in external worlds, plundering the origins of the Innate Gods and Demons of other worlds and devouring their origins can also improve one's realm and cultivation.

But this step is very dangerous; after all, those Innate Gods and Demons in the external worlds are not to be trifled with.

Their cultivation and combat power are not inferior to theirs.

Coupled with the advantage of being in their own territory.

Previously, some Great Luo Golden Immortals among them had fallen; once they fall, the consequences are very terrifying. If they fall in the Honghuang, they still have a chance to return, and once they reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, returning is not very difficult.

But in an external world, their origin and True Spirit will be devoured by the external world; even if there is a trace of True Spirit imprinted in the depths of the Heavenly Dao in the Honghuang, it is very difficult to return.

It is not so easy for a person to return after crossing the tribulation.

It may take infinite time to slowly wait for the True Spirit to grow stronger before there is a chance for the True Spirit to enter reincarnation and return.
