Great Improvement: Entering Sainthood Seventh Grade!

Inside the room, Rising Dusk King's voice was flat, as if he were recounting an ordinary little matter.

But while the speaker meant no harm, the listener took it to heart. Gu Yao heard it and the shock in her heart never subsided, surging like waves that could not be calmed for a long time.

When everything had settled down and all was quiet, Rising Dusk King did not continue speaking.

It took Gu Yao a long time to calm herself down. After a while, she sighed and said, "In other words, our world could be destroyed at any time, and Xu Bai has become the key person. But he cannot return to the human world. If he does, he may face a huge threat."

Rising Dusk King nodded, picked up the teacup beside him with practiced ease, and took a sip. "It's not a possibility, it's certain. He will definitely encounter danger. That's for sure. The being they're talking about is indeed supreme. If we really face him, we have no chance of winning, no possibility of victory whatsoever."

Gu Yao pondered, "We really don't have a chance on our own, but it's different if we add Xu Bai. Since the other side is so wary of him, Xu Bai must have some deeper meaning, so Xu Bai has become the only possibility to turn the tide."

The idea that an entity capable of destroying countless worlds could be defeated by a single world is simply wishful thinking.

But Gu Yao has also experienced all kinds of storms and has seen things very clearly. The most important one here should be Xu Bai.

Given the opponent's high expectations, Xu Bai must have an advantage to turn the tide. In this light, Xu Bai is the most crucial factor.

Rising Dusk King put down his teacup and tapped the table. "So, do you know what we should be doing during this time?"

Gu Yao nodded. "Of course I know. Before Xu Bai confronts that person, what we need to do is clear away unnecessary obstacles for him, such as the people who appeared today."

"Those guys were once people of our world, but they all betrayed us for the sake of survival. To be honest, their betrayal makes me feel hopeless, but... we can learn from this experience and prepare ourselves for the future," Rising Dusk King said slowly.

Since this situation has occurred today, we can gradually extend from this situation to understand the subsequent issues.

The subsequent problem is simple: since the other party consists of people who were once alive, there must be others as well; it's impossible that only this group came.

That era was a golden age, a time of great diversity and prosperity, far surpassing the world we live in today.

Therefore, although they face great pressure, they may not necessarily lose if they make thorough preparations.

King Shengyou continued, "Move away and return to the Great Chu Kingdom's palace. At least there your sword won't be stolen. I already know what they're thinking. If they get your sword, they can infiltrate every nook and cranny in the simplest and fastest way possible without being detected."

The sword in Gu Yao's hand is capable of shattering space, and it is the only one in the world that can traverse space.

If it were truly stolen, Rising Dusk King, having ascended to this position, already knew very well how severe the consequences would be.

Now that we know what the other party is planning, we can't let Gu Yao stay here any longer, in case something unexpected happens.

Although Gu Yao was strong-willed, she was also a person who understood the bigger picture in this matter, and agreed without much hesitation.

This is a very important matter; even if I were to act out, I wouldn't do it on this issue.

"What about the Barbarian Territory?" Gu Yao asked. "Although they seem to have a lot of people there, including many extraordinary experts, they don't have any top-tier individuals. If the enemy really starts from there, we will not only be at a disadvantage, but it will also put pressure on Xu Bai."

In the Barbarian Territory, there were also Chu Ling and others.

Those were the people Xu Bai valued most. If something really happened there, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"All the Entering Sainthood Expert will be uniformly assigned at present," said Rising Dusk King. "Originally, we wanted to unite to deal with the Ghost Market, but now that the Ghost Market is no longer needed, we can only focus on defense first and then seek opportunities to attack."

"In addition, Chief Mu will personally go there to oversee things, so... we can ensure that nothing goes wrong."

One of them Exiting Sainthood and was stationed in the Barbarian Territory.

This is the safest approach until Xu Bai returns.

Gu Yao frowned. "You have to find a way to deal with what happened today. In that era, a hundred flowers bloomed and all nations competed. You can't wait for them to awaken one by one. The danger they would bring then would be no less than that of the Supreme Saint."

"This just happened today, we need to go back and discuss it." Rising Dusk King stood up and said, "Don't talk about this now. You all hurry up and come with me to leave this place and make sure you are safe. We'll discuss it again when we get back."

Gu Yao thought for a moment and realized that this was not the place to talk. After agreeing, she went out to prepare various arrangements.

Although they left in a hurry this time, as a sect with a solid foundation, they had already planned many backup plans, including the escape route, so they quickly gathered together.

Rising Dusk King and Gu Yao stood side by side, looking at the dense crowd of the Ancient Moon Sword Sect disciples in front of them, feeling quite emotional.

Everyone has a youth, and youth is full of wonderful experiences. As a master who Entering Sainthood Expert, Rising Dusk King was no exception.

Upon witnessing this scene, Rising Dusk King recalled his youth, the moment he met Gu Yao at the Ancient Moon Sword Sect.

Rising Dusk King reached out and took Gu Yao's hand.

Gu Yao did not struggle and let Rising Dusk King lead her.

"This is the toughest battle yet." Although Rising Dusk King said it was tough, his face remained calm.

Gu Yao turned her head and said, "Back then, the Great Feng Kingdom was brutal, causing the entire world to suffer. You and the Chu Emperor rose from humble beginnings and went through countless battles."

"Between life and death, I don't know how many cycles of reincarnation I've gone through. Now you're afraid, which doesn't seem like you at all."

"The King Shengyou I saw back then dared to lead a thousand cavalry alone and surprise attack tens of thousands from the Gale Kingdom. Why is it that now that he is older, he is feeling emotional?"

Rising Dusk King scratched his head. He only made this gesture in front of Gu Yao: "I'm getting old, so I always think about things that people my age should think about. I was thinking that I liked Xu Bai from the beginning, but I never expected that he would have such an amazing background after becoming my son-in-law."

Gu Yao rolled her eyes at Rising Dusk King: "Aren't you just trying to pat yourself on the back for having good taste? Don't I know you? Do I have to flatter you a bit more?"

Rising Dusk King simply smiled and did not continue speaking.

Gu Yao gripped Rising Dusk King's hand tightly and said, "Life and death are uncertain, and victory or defeat is not yet decided. In any case, the worst that can happen is death."

Rising Dusk King opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

But at that moment, all Twelve Sword Envoys gathered together.

At this point, everyone had arrived, and Rising Dusk King did not continue speaking. These things could be discussed later; the most important thing now was to leave this place.

Gu Yao released her grip, drew the Iron Sword from her waist, and channeled the power within her body into the Iron Sword.

She seemed to have transformed from a delicate woman into a sharp, piercing sword, making her impossible to look directly at.

The Iron Sword emitted a series of clear, melodious sounds.

A moment later, Gu Yao raised the Iron Sword high in her hand, pointing it straight at the sky.

The next moment, the Iron Sword burst forth with a dazzling light, enveloping the entire sky and everyone present.

The light gradually dimmed, and when it disappeared without a trace, the Ancient Moon Sword Sect was completely empty, leaving nothing behind.

The Ghost Market.

Xu Bai sat cross-legged on the ground, his hands resting on his knees and his chin propped up, while he held a book in his other hand and stared at it intently.

A dazzling progress bar appeared before his eyes; he was just a hair's breadth away from completing it.

Over this period of time, his life became extremely regular, so regular that he spent every day reading books.

This made him quite emotional, recalling the scene when he first entered this industry. That was also the time when he was most diligent, with nothing but progress bars every day.

Even seeing Wu Hua's head could excite him for half a day, and he would try every means to get his hands on that head.

During this time, staying in the Ghost Market made him feel like he had returned to that time.

It was tedious, but comfortable; the ever-present progress bar made him feel at ease.

The progress bar was still increasing, but when the last part was filled, a light blue mist appeared in front of Xu Bai's eyes.

He had gotten used to it and didn't even want to look at it, casually tossing the book behind him.

Behind him was a mountain of books, and the book he threw landed right on top of the pile.

In front of him was a large pile of books, each with a progress bar, but all of them were just a hair's breadth away from being finished.

These books were all his Entering Sainthood Failure Insights, and he deliberately kept them instead of working on them.

"Phew..." Xu Bai let out a long breath. "Finally finished working on all of this."

Apart from his Entering Sainthood Failure Insights, he had finished all the other books.

The pale blue smoke before my eyes disappeared, and new text was formed.

The new attribute panel has been introduced and has undergone significant changes.

[Name: Xu Bai]

[Realm Level: Entering Sainthood Seventh Grade Recluse]

[Myriad Aspects Heavenly Attraction Mountain Sea Art (Sainthood Level 7): Max Level]

[Myriad Attacks (Saintly Rank 5): Max Level.]

[Myriad Defenses (Saintly Rank 5): Max Level]

[Myriad Miscellaneous Arts (Saintly Level 5): Max Level]

[Myriad Assistance (Saintly Rank 5): Max Level.]

[Myriad Strange Arts (Saintly Level 5): Max Level]

[Comprehension: Max level.]

An ellipsis indicates that many skills are not displayed, and due to various reasons, an ellipsis is used instead.

Xu Bai's biggest improvement now is that his strength has reached the Entering Sainthood Seventh Grade.

"I've reached another hurdle. I can't find a progress bar to grind anymore, and my motivation to improve seems to be nowhere in sight."

Although Xu Bai was happy about this huge improvement, he felt a headache coming on when he thought about how many more progress bars would be needed later.

It gets harder to improve as you progress. You can take shortcuts, but even those shortcuts take time.

Xu Bai stretched, clearing his mind of distractions, and shook his head.

His gaze shifted to the ground, where a pile of books lay.

These are all Entering Sainthood Failure Insights, and they are exactly what he urgently needs right now.

There are now a ton of skills, as numerous as hairs on a cow, but there's no way to fuse them all. The only solution is the Fusion Art learned from my Entering Sainthood Failure Insights.

He had painstakingly worked on all these Entering Sainthood Failure Insights, until he was just a hair's breadth away from achieving perfection, all for this very moment.

Xu Bai picked up one of the books, glanced at the progress bar, and realized it had already reached perfection.

He didn't linger; after a wisp of pale blue smoke appeared, he had already picked up the second book.

As the second book appeared, the pale blue smoke gradually thickened.

Xu Bai continued reading without slowing down, one book after another, while the pale blue smoke gradually became more solidified in the process.

Throughout the entire process, he remained expressionless.

There were simply too many. Even at his speed, it took him almost the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before he could fully integrate all the Entering Sainthood Failure Insights.

In front of them, the pale blue smoke was so thick it resembled ink and couldn't be dispersed at all.

Xu Bai remained expressionless, silently observing everything. After what seemed like several dozen breaths, the text finally disappeared.

The next moment, the latest attribute panel appeared in front of Xu Bai.

[Name: Xu Bai]

[Realm Level: Entering Sainthood Seventh Grade Recluse]

[Myriad Aspects Heavenly Attraction Mountain Sea Art (Sainthood Level 7): Max Level]

[Myriad Attacks (Saintly Rank 8): Max Level.]

[Myriad Defenses (Saintly Rank 8): Max Level.]

[Myriad Miscellaneous Arts (Saintly Rank 8): Max Level]

[Myriad Assistance (Saintly Rank 8): Max Level.]

[Myriad Strange Arts (Saintly Rank 8): Max Level.]

[Comprehension: Max level.]

After mastering so many Fusion Art, aside from his mental cultivation method, his other skills actually reached the eighth level of the Saint Realm, far surpassing his original Entering Sainthood Seventh Grade.

"Call..."

Xu Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

A huge gain, a truly huge gain.

This time, he made a fortune.

"Since we can't go out for the time being, let's sweep every nook and cranny and take as much as we can."

After everything settled down, Xu Bai had an idea in mind.

He can't leave the Ghost Market now. If he goes out, he might fall into the Supreme Saint's trap. According to the clues he got before, he would have to reach at least the ninth rank of the Entering Sainthood Ninth Grade to barely protect himself, and even that is not guaranteed.

So when you can't get out, you might as well explore every nook and cranny of the Ghost Market and squeeze out all the eerie things.

Even if those strange creatures themselves are not strong, every little bit counts, and when their numbers reach a certain level, they will cause a qualitative change.

With that in mind, Xu Bai no longer hesitated and headed straight in one direction.

Within the Ruins.

The Supreme Saint opened his enormous eyes, and the chains binding him rattled incessantly.

"Idiots! A bunch of idiots, you made a mistake right from the very first step!"

His voice carried boundless pressure and concealed immense anger, causing the sky Ruins to darken.
