Saints: "..."
That's as good as saying nothing at all.
Let alone Near Dao, as long as Jiang Ping reaches the level of a True Saint, he should be able to solve this problem.
The problem is that this realm is too profound, and the Spirit Wander Realm is not simple at all.
"The Primordial Spirit undergoes nine tribulations; breaking through each tribulation requires overcoming a major Great Tribulation."
Jiang Siqi said.
Upon reaching the Divine Travel level, the barriers become even more difficult to overcome. Crossing the Tribulation is not a task that can be accomplished in a day; it requires time to accumulate experience. Forcing one to break through the barrier could easily lead to unforeseen consequences.
Even if Jiang Ping has exceptional talent, he still needs to accumulate experience before making a breakthrough, which will significantly extend the time it takes for him to advance to the next realm.
"This is still the Spirit Wander Tribulation; the True Saint Tribulation will be even more terrifying."
Shangguan Chun said.
Back then, his strongest ancestor had already Form and Spirit Unite, and was almost at the point of attaining enlightenment, but in the end, it all came to nothing. Two thousand years of accumulation vanished, and he died tragically under the True Saint Tribulation.
"What is a true saint? How can one Near Dao? What are the differences between them?"
Jiang Ping couldn't help but ask, though he looked down on the world, in terms of knowledge, he was no match for the sages of these Ancient Aristocratic Family.
"You can think of true sainthood and the Near Dao as both being on the same journey towards the truth, standing on the same path."
Martial Saint Murong spoke slowly.
If we consider the end of the road as the Great Way, then the True Sage is the one who has just stood on the starting point of the road, who can see the Great Way and wield authority.
The Near Dao is to stand before authority, accept its Baptism, and complete the great leap forward.
In fact, some people believe that even a true saint is still within the realm of the Spirit Wander Realm, because standing in this realm cannot bring about a qualitative change in life, and the lifespan is the same as that of a person in the Spirit Wander Realm.
Some believe that True Saint is a major realm because Martial Artist at this level are too strong. Even compared to Near-Dao Being, the gap is not that big. Once they establish themselves, they can be considered Unrivaled and rare in the world on that Radiant Continent.
And in the Near-Dao Realm, needless to say, the sheer power of reincarnation and rebirth is enough to inspire the world.
For example, the master of the Jimie Heavenly Technique was already Unrivaled true saint. He was unwilling to live for only three thousand years. With his extraordinary talent, he tried to break through to the Near Dao several times, hoping to completely leap forward and change his fate.
However, whether it's the Near Dao or the true sage path, both are Heavenly Pass, extremely difficult and full of uncertainty.
"You have a good chance of reaching the level of a True Saint, but we fear we won't live to see that day."
Martial Saint Murong spoke.
This realm is extraordinary. The original owner of the Jimie Heavenly Technique spent more than five hundred years progressing from a Divine Traveler to a True Saint.
Five hundred years? Let alone those old monsters, even martial saints like them, who are still in their prime, can't wait that long.
Even if they do reach that day, they will surely be very old by then. Let alone transcending the Spirit Wander Tribulation, they might not even be able to complete the Martial Saint Realm.
"Who would have thought that those who turned Xuanxin Island into a prison would be Near-Dao Being?"
Martial Saint Changchun sighed, she simply couldn't understand how an island, which was considered relatively small even in the Northern You Archipelago, could be involved with such beings.
The only one who could possibly come into contact with such a being is probably the owner of the Jimie Heavenly Technique.
However, this Peerless Figures was a being from more than 10,000 years ago. It's impossible for someone to settle old scores with him after he has attained enlightenment thousands of years after his death.
"That shouldn't be the case. If it were truly Near-Dao Being targeting us, why go through all this trouble? They could have just slapped Xuanxin Island to pieces, and there wouldn't be any descendants like us."
Shangguan Chun shook her head, disagreeing with this view.
What could be the reason for that?
"I'm not Near Dao; how could I possibly fathom the thoughts of such people?"
Shangguan Chun rolled his eyes. How would he know?
"Looks like I have no choice but to accept my fate."
This time, even Jiang Siqi revealed a strong sense of resentment.
"It's a pity that the Dao Path the Martial Saint is already set and cannot be changed, otherwise I really want to cultivate again and practice Jiang Saint's Life Fist!" Saint Leng sighed.
Ultimately, the Martial Saint Council meeting ended with various sighs.
Jiang Ping returned to his dojo.
The master of the Jimie Heavenly Technique took five hundred years to go from a divine traveler to a true saint, which shows how difficult it is to become a true saint.
At the same time, spiritual travel is no ordinary thing; it requires accumulating foundational knowledge and overcoming Crossing the Tribulation time and time again.
According to Shangguan Chun, if he had various kinds of Primordial Spirit Great Medicine, he should be able to do it even faster.
But crucially, Xuanxin Island doesn't possess such a wondrous object.
In fact, Jiang Ping also felt that going from a Martial Saint to a Divine Traveler was not an easy task. He started reading the Huangting Scripture two years ago, and his Spiritual power had increased during this period.
No signs of Crossing the Tribulation or tribulation have appeared yet.
"If one forces their way through, perhaps they really can instantly travel in spirit..."
Jiang Ping murmured, but he quickly dismissed the idea.
The path of Martial Dao becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses, and forcing one to break through barriers could easily lead to an unstable foundation.
He wanted to solidify his foundation, believing that things would fall into place naturally.
After all, Jiang Ping felt that his Spiritual power was constantly increasing and did not seem to be overflowing yet.
"Father, teach me how to use a sword!"
Sixteen-year-old Jiang Yirou walked into the study, carrying a knife, and said to Jiang Ping.
She's progressing very quickly and is already in the stage of training the five internal organs.
However, this level requires perseverance and cannot be accelerated, so she has been practicing the Deathly Heavenly Saber with her father during this time.
"Good."
Jiang Ping smiled indulgently.
He felt that his daughter might not necessarily become the Life Female Saint in the future, but she could also become the Heavenly Saber Great Saint.
Time flies, and half a year has passed.
The matter of the Divine Travel Handwritten note gradually subsided, and all the old monsters and Peak martial saints had resigned themselves to their fate and accepted reality.
However, recently, the descendant who had gone on a spiritual journey has become suspicious, because it seems that his house has been burgled.
Until one day, this Lineage could no longer sit still and spoke out:
"You bastard, which heartless bastard dug up my family's ancestral grave?"
"You beast! My clan has declined to the point where only Golden Core cultivators remain; our resources are long gone."
The direct descendants of Shenyou were indignant, and the person who came to dig up the grave was suspected to be Half-Saint or a martial saint.
Because the place was protected by Greater Golden Core, no one knew anything about it until the ancestral worship ceremony, when they discovered that many of the graves had been renovated.
This incident sparked heated discussions, as the powerful figures had already guessed the purpose of that Virtueless martial artist: he wanted to find other Handwritten note, unwilling to be trapped on Xuanxin Island for the rest of his life.
"I suspect it's a Martial Saint, because Half-Saint wouldn't need to; only the absolute Peerless, who reigns supreme, would most desire to break free from their cage."
Many people speculate that it was a despicable act committed by a certain martial arts master.
"The world is going to the dogs; even a martial saint is now engaging in tomb raiding." Many elders lamented, believing it tarnished the image of the martial saint and showed a lack of morality.
Some well-meaning people offered assistance to the Lineage in an attempt to find the culprit, but the matter was left unresolved and became an unsolved case.
However, half a month after the clan's ancestral graves were desecrated, another piece of news spread like wildfire.
"This clan found another Handwritten note, and the one from the Peak of the Divine Realm seems to have pointed out a way out."
It is said that on that day, several martial saints visited the Spirit Wander Clan.
The next day, these martial saints brought the Handwritten note to Jiang Ping.
"Jiang Saint, this Handwritten note is priceless. We paid a considerable price to obtain it from the descendants of the Divine Traveler."
A female saint, holding Handwritten note, said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ping turned and left.
Want him to bleed a little too?
It all comes down to who can outlast whom.
