Cuilisi had spoken a little too late.
Saine's elementalization qualitative transformation had already reached the Critical Point when he emerged from the Formless Secret Realm on the Knight Continent.
One had to remember that Saine had spent more than five hundred years inside that secret realm.
He had absorbed a vast amount of the Knowledge Inheritance Master Joss had left behind in those years, and had even drawn in more than half of the secret realm's abundant elemental energy.
Normally, after absorbing so much Element Power and possessing sufficient knowledge of truth to propel the qualitative transformation, Saine should have long since entered the process of advancing to Level 4.
But the appearance of the Faceless Mask had successfully restrained this state of Saine's.
Suppressing Saine in every respect was meant to let him go farther in the future and build a firmer foundation.
Just like a spring compressed tight, the consequence was that when it was released, it would erupt with power of a higher level than before.
And the "little lesson" that had just ended, personally taught to Saine by Level-6 Magician Cuilisi, had brought Saine's upcoming elementalization qualitative transformation and the condensation of his Law Body to a nearly perfect state.
The Faceless Mask was about to be unable to suppress Saine any longer!
And his act of lifting a sliver of the mask had directly thrown Saine's originally precarious bodily balance into disorder!
Saine had originally intended to begin preparing for his advancement to Level 4 after this Sect Gathering.
But even Saine himself had not expected that merely lifting one corner of the mask would trigger so many chain reactions.
Perhaps this was the confusion of one too deeply involved.
The only one who likely had a rough sense of Saine's physical state was Cuilisi,
