Overview
The Saint Realm is a top-tier level of power in the Yulan Plane, attained by humans and Magic Beasts alike. Saint-level individuals are powerful enough to influence kingdoms, command major organizations, and receive special treatment in elite institutions. 7 13 21
Although Saint Realm experts are scarce, their total number across the Yulan Plane's five continents exceeds one hundred. Their strength varies substantially, from recently advanced Saints to peak and limit-level experts. 7 33 40
Attainment
Martial Path
The conventional martial route requires progression through three realms:
- Mastery of Force — primarily achieved through persistent training. 48
- Heavy as Light — requires both training and comprehension. 1 48
- Worldly Momentum — depends entirely on comprehension and enables the breakthrough into the Saint Realm. 10 46 48
A ninth-rank warrior who has comprehended Worldly Momentum can enter the Saint Realm, as demonstrated by Leian's breakthrough. 29
Magic and Necromancy
A mage may reach the equivalent Saint-level state of a Saint Magus. Leian achieved this after his mental energy underwent a qualitative transformation; his soul also changed into a spherical form. 37
- Saint Magi possess highly refined mental energy. 37
- Necromantic Saint Magi can explore the Undead Realm and enslave undead through the Death Rule. 36 37
- Researching plagues and toxic gases is considered a method of studying the Death Rule. 37
Magic Crystal Core Fusion
The elven Druid secret technique can fuse a user with a Magic Beast magic crystal core. A complete fusion allows an elf to transform into the corresponding Magic Beast and gain power comparable to the core's level; fusing a Saint Realm core can therefore produce Saint-level strength. 7
The human adaptation of this technique has severe conditions:
- It requires a portion of the Spring of Life. 7
- A user needs at least a seventh-rank physique to fuse with a Saint Realm magic crystal core. 7
- The core's attribute must match the user's battle qi. 7
- Human users undergo beast-transformation rather than a full Magic Beast transformation, and the transformation itself does not increase their strength. 7
- Descendants of a fused user must select the same type of Magic Beast core; choosing another type causes a fatal bloodline conflict. 7
Hierarchy
Saint Realm experts are divided by their comprehension and combat power rather than by a single uniform standard.
- Ordinary Saints — newly advanced experts, including recently ascended Saint Realm Magic Beasts such as Kals. 36
- Peak Saints — experts who have comprehended Laws and Profound Mysteries. Margaret is identified as a peak Saint-level expert. 19 46
- Saint Realm Limits — the final stage before godhood. Leian reached this level before his divine ascension. 32 39
- God-level powerhouses — beings who have surpassed the Saint Realm entirely. 39 46
Saint Realm Magic Beasts likewise possess differing levels of strength. Cecil, the Thunder-Winged White Tiger, describes himself as lower-middle tier among nearby Saint-level Magic Beasts, while the Nine-Headed Serpent Emperor ranks near the top of that group. 32 33
Society and Influence
- The Youquan Trading Firm reserves its third floor for Saint Realm powerhouses. 13
- The Byron Empire was founded by a Saint-level emperor with support from other Saint experts. 21
- Saint-level experts are eligible to compete for the Spring of Life when recommended by god-level powerhouses. 52
- The Martial God Hall appoints Saint Realm experts as bishops, assigning one to each of the Leian Empire's sixteen provinces. 47
- Saint Realm elders serve as the Martial God Hall's principal high-level personnel, recruiting talent and overseeing branch halls. 47 56
