That had been close.
A hair's breadth more, and he would have been forced to merge with the Primordial Order of the Tianhua Domain, giving birth to Primordial Authority.
Yet it was precisely that brush with danger that had let him glimpse, through the Primordial Order, things he had never been able to see before.
Only then did he learn that the Tianhua Domain held special Secret Realms. These were no ordinary Secret Realms: they led straight to the domain's core.
Within them lay naturally formed Supreme-Grade Saint Veins, even more powerful than High-Grade Saint Veins.
Every one of them, however, was damaged to some degree.
But even damaged Supreme-Grade Saint Veins were beyond comparison with High-Grade Saint Veins.
Some people had entered those Secret Realms and used the damaged Supreme-Grade Saint Veins to become Supreme Sages.
After reaching that level, they had evidently gained a deeper understanding of the Tianhua Domain's Primordial Order. These Supreme Sages had grown so ambitious that they hid in the Secret Realms, hoping to obtain Primordial Authority by comprehending the Primordial Order.
It went to show that nothing was ever absolute.
Even with flaws in the Tianhua Domain's Primordial Order, the path beyond Dao Sage had not been completely sealed.
Unfortunately, because the Primordial Order was flawed, they were not perfect Supreme Sages. Even in that fleeting glimpse, Li Yun had seen that the hidden Supreme Sages were far weaker than those he had encountered in the Hengwu Domain.
Under those circumstances, pursuing Primordial Authority struck Li Yun as rather wishful thinking.
He could not say it was absolutely impossible, but the chance of success was vanishingly close to zero.
Of course,
none of that had anything to do with Li Yun.
For now, he had no intention of approaching those Supreme Sages.
