"Those Martial Dao Fourth Ranks weren't strong. If someone like a direct disciple of one of the Eight Great Sects entered the Martial Dao Fourth Rank, I probably wouldn't be able to deal with them easily either."
Hearing Chen Mu's words, Bai Ze chuckled. "Martial strength is precisely what martial artists possess. Why should we Sorcerers compete with those martial artists in martial strength?"
Chen Mu silently revealed an expression that said, You're right.
Then, with a hint of curiosity, he asked, "Is there really no way for Sorcerers to raise their rank?"
Chen Mu truly wanted to know the answer to this question.
Bai Ze seemed to have known Chen Mu would ask this. He shook his head and said, "Every Sorcerer asks this question. Yet ever since the first Sorcerer appeared a thousand years ago, countless Sorcerers throughout the ages have tried to seek a path forward. To this day, no one has found the answer."
"Martial artists can refine spiritual energy, Killing Intent, and even Demon Power to strengthen their bodies. We Sorcerers can refine these things too, but we can't use them to strengthen our souls."
After hearing this, Chen Mu showed a trace of disappointment.
Bai Ze smiled and said, "Obtaining the power of a Fifth Rank Sorcerer means you've already seized a share of the world's fortune. If you still wish to pursue greater power, you can try walking the path of martial cultivation."
"However, no matter what you choose, the identity of a Directorate of Celestial Observation Sorcerer is useful. If you join the Directorate of Celestial Observation and take up the position of Director of Calendars, you'll only need to remain at the Directorate of Celestial Observation to guard the Demon Sealing Tower for one month each year. Would you be willing?"
