Chapter 597

It was precisely because of this that Ancestor Minghe initially looked down on Luo Fu.

In fact, among the veteran great powers of the Journey to the West World, Ancestor Minghe was quite unique.

Ancestor Minghe's trump card was created by relying on the Netherblood Sea.

Because Ancestor Minghe was born from the Netherblood Sea, he was naturally connected to it.

Through this connection, Ancestor Minghe successfully fused with the Netherblood Sea's primordial essence.

The Netherblood Sea was no ordinary place; its contained power was not weak, and its primordial essence was highly independent, equivalent to an entire world.

By fusing with the Netherblood Sea, Ancestor Minghe, in a certain sense, had become one with the Dao—except that the Dao he merged with was that of the Netherblood Sea.

Leaving other factors aside, just this alone made Ancestor Minghe somewhat akin to a Saint.

Saints became so by merging with the Heavenly Dao.

The only difference was that the Heavenly Dao governed the entire Primordial World, and the Netherblood Sea also lay under the Heavenly Dao's dominion.

Thus, Ancestor Minghe's power was weaker than that of a Saint, and he could not leave the Netherblood Sea.

Although his power was considerably weaker, his essence remained unchanged.

Ancestor Minghe could even be regarded as a half-Saint.

He possessed power nearly equal to a Saint's, yet unlike Buddhism, he did not draw attention, had few demands, and needed no balance among rival factions.

Naturally, there was no need to regard Luo Fu with high esteem or fear.
