Using the saint jade badge, Zhang Ruochen easily met Supreme Saint Manjian’s saint soul body and told him what had happened.
The saint soul body was hundreds of feet tall. As if made up of Holy Qi, the aura it radiated was just as terrifying as his true body.
After hearing Zhang Ruochen’s explanation, Supreme Saint Manjian had a shocked expression. “You never had a teacher before?”
“I did, but I haven’t seen him in a long time,” Zhang Ruochen said. “I’ve been studying by myself.”
“I see.”
Supreme Saint Manjian seemed to understand something. “You might not know, but after a Saint surpasses the Absolute Land Realm, more of your cultivation is regarding the Rules of Saintly Way.
“The Heaven Pass Realm is the formation of rules.
“The True Realm is turning the intangible tangible.
“The Supreme Realm is going to the extreme.”
Zhang Ruochen narrowed his eyes in confusion.
He’d never heard of what Supreme Saint Manjian was talking about, so it sounded unfamiliar.
Manjian could see that Zhang Ruochen wasn’t quite clear about these three realms, so he explained in more layman terms. “The Rules of Saintly Way that you comprehended before are actually formless. They’re just lines. Now, you must turn those lines into a shape.
“For example, if you turn the rules into a tower, then you would immediately enter the Heaven Pass Realm. The tower-shaped Rules of Saintly Way would become your Heaven Pass Tower.
“If you form a sword, then it’s the Heaven Pass Sword.”
Zhang Ruochen understood instantly. “I see. But the Rules of Saintly Way are already combined with one’s saint soul and saintly source. How can it be shaped?”
Supreme Saint Manjian chuckled. “Shaping the rules happens inside the saint soul and saintly source.”
Zhang Ruochen vaguely understood how to reach the Heaven Pass Realm. He immediately asked, “What does turning the intangible tangible mean?”
Manjian continued to explain. “Even if you shape your rules and reach the Heaven Pass Realm, the rules are still intangible. You must make them into tangible rules. This way, you’ll also reach the True Realm and become a True Saint.”
“Then what about to the extreme?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
“It’s simple. You continuously turn Rules of Saintly Way tangible, making them extremely sturdy. They’ll become indestructible as if they were made of iron. By then, you would also reach the Supreme Realm and become an Absolute Saint.”
Zhang Ruochen felt like the world had opened up. He memorized the phrases “shape the rules,””intangible to tangible” and “to the extreme.” Putting his hands together, he bowed to Supreme Saint Manjian. “Thank you for your pointers.”
“No problem. Moon Goddess had you cultivate with me. Naturally, I will tell you everything I know. Oh…”
Manjian seemed to think of something. He added, “if you want to reach the Heaven Pass Realm, there’s actually a shortcut.”
“What shortcut?” Zhang Ruochen asked hurriedly.
“In the Red Dragon Saint Territory, there’s a Heaven Pass Cave. It’s a cultivation paradise that a big figure left behind. If you cultivate in there, it’ll be easier to shape the rules. You can save a lot of time.”
Zhang Ruochen bowed to Supreme Saint Manjian again. Then he walked out of the Red Dragon Saint Pavilion.
“I will cultivate in isolation in the Red Dragon Saint Territory to reach the Heaven Pass Realm. You return to the Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land.”
After giving Blackie orders, Zhang Ruochen followed a Half-Saint toward the Heaven Pass Cave.
“He really isn’t willing to waste a minute for cultivation. He’s turning obsessed.”
Looking at Zhang Ruochen’s back, Blackie shook its furry head. Spreading its wings, it returned to the Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land.
There was a saint stone island deep within the Red Dragon Saint Pavilion, hovering in the air. This was where Supreme Saint Manjian cultivated.
In Kunlun’s Field, saint stones were rare. Each piece was worth a city and contained extremely thick Holy Qi.
But that island was made completely of saint stones. If the Supreme Saints of Kunlun’s Field saw this, they would definitely feel embarrassed. Compared to Supreme Saint Manjian, they were just poor misers.
Right now, Manjian’s true body was sitting on the island and drinking wine with Supreme Saint Jiuling, another Supreme Saint of Guanghan Field.
Supreme Saint Jiuling wasn’t a human. He was a Jiuling Divine Bird and contained powerful divine beast blood in his body. He was the Supreme Saint of Guanghan Field who had the highest possibility of reaching the Divine Realm.
Right now, Supreme Saint Jiuling had transformed into an elder with black hair and youthful features. He wore a loose robe with nine types of divine birds embroidered on it.
Supreme Saint Jiuling seemed a bit old, but under his white eyebrows, his eyes were filled with sharp light. It was like his eyes could penetrate the heavens and earth.
He smoothed his whiskers. “That’s the Saint that Moon Goddess brought back?”
“Indeed.”
Manjian looked over at Jiuling. It suddenly dawned on him. “I think I understand! You barely come to the Red Dragon Saint Territory once in centuries. Today, I thought you came to discuss swordsmanship. I didn’t think that you’d come to see him.”
“A Saint can be valued by Moon Goddess. Everyone would be curious, right?” Jiuling said, chuckling.
There was a blue-robed girl standing behind Supreme Saint Jiuling. She had a beautiful figure. Her delicate body was inside rings of saintly light, making her seem noble and pure. It felt like one couldn’t get on her level.
This girl was named Su Qingling. She was Supreme Saint Jiuling’s granddaughter and the most talented girl of the entire Guanghan Field. She was also one of the few True Saints who could enter the Saints Merits Rank.
Of course, it was the Saints Merits Rank of Guanghan Field.
A smile appeared on Su Qingling’s face. She didn’t hide her disdain for Zhang Ruochen. “He doesn’t even know how to reach the Heaven Pass Realm. He’s completely clueless. I don’t understand why the mighty Moon Goddess values him.”
Supreme Saint Jiuling understood his granddaughter’s personality. This girl had a very high taste. No more than five Saints in the entire Guanghan Field could meet her standards.
“Little girl,” Jiuling said. “That boy isn’t clueless. His physical body is already a Saint. He isn’t weak at all.”
Su Qingling clearly didn’t think a physical body Saint was powerful. Pursing her red lips, she said, “So what? Even if there aren’t 50 beings in Guanghan Field who can cultivate their physical bodies to the Saint Realm, there are at least 30 or 40, right?”
“Having a physical body in the Saint Realm is indeed excellent but not enough to meet the Moon Goddess’ standards,” Supreme Saint Manjian said. “But what if he also has four Peak Realms and the Five-Elements Chaotic Body?”
This time, Su Qingling couldn’t keep calm anymore. Shock appeared in her blue eyes. “He actually has the Supreme Complete Body Constitution?”
“That’s right,” Manjian said. “It’s the Supreme Complete Body Constitution.”
Supreme Saint Jiuling touched his chin. Smiling, he said, “I didn’t look closely just then. I didn’t think that he had the Supreme Complete Body Constitution.”
The so-called Supreme Complete Body Constitution meant that he’d cultivated his body to the most complete and extreme extent. One had to satisfy three requirements to reach that level:
One, a physical body in the Saint Realm.
Two, reach the Peak Realm in all four levels of the Martial Way.
Three, possess one of the strongest bodies.
The True God Body, Five-Elements Chaotic Body, and Thousand-Bone Body were all types of the strongest bodies. Of course, there weren’t only three. Ten strongest bodies had appeared in Heaven World’s records.
One could only be known as having the Supreme Complete Body Constitution if one satisfied all three requirements. Having this ability could crush all opponents in the same realm.
“Even Wu Hao, first of the Guanghan Field’s Saints Merits Rank, only has a complete body,” Su Qingling said. “He’s still a step away from the Supreme Complete Body Constitution.”
A young man stood behind Supreme Saint Manjian. His name was Bu Ji. He was Manjian’s direct disciple.
Before this, Bu Ji’s eyes had been trained on Su Qingling. He had an obsessed look.
When he heard the name “Wu Hao,” Bu Ji finally grew clear-headed. Strong battle intent appeared in his eyes. “Sister Qingling, don’t worry. Even if Wu Hao has a completed body, I can still defeat him.”
Su Qingling rolled her eyes. “Where even is your head? We’re talking about that guy with the Supreme Complete Body Constitution. If you can, go defeat him.”
“Who? Who has the Supreme Complete Body Constitution? I’ll go defeat him now!” Bu Ji clenched his fists. All 144 apertures on his body opened up. Chaotic Saintly Way ripples poured out.
This man looked dumb, but he was actually a pride with a physical body in the Saint Realm.
Supreme Saint Manjian smiled wryly and sighed.
Supreme Saint Jiuling grew serious. “You two must remember,” he said. “No matter how strong the other is, it’s not impossible to defeat them. One’s body is only a part of their abilities. If you can cultivate strong saint spells or have an advantage in Rules of Saintly Way, you can still defeat them.”
Su Qingling nodded, putting up an act. But her eyes were looking in the direction of the Heaven Pass Cave and it seemed like she wanted to try something. She wanted to know if the Supreme Complete Body Constitution really was as powerful as rumored.
Supreme Saint Manjian and Jiuling started discussing something else.
Jiuling’s expression grew serious. “I heard that the Zuling Field battlefield of the western universe has been shattered completely. All the beings have died. Even the god of Zuling Field has been killed. Yet another large world has been destroyed by Hell World. The next battlefield will definitely be chosen from the Shatuo Seven Fields. I hope it’s not Guanghan Field.”
Supreme Saint Manjian’s expression was dark as well. “Once a large world is chosen as a battlefield, it is destined to be destroyed. Guanghan Field has always been the weakest among the Shatuo regions. We may very well become the sacrifice. Now, there’s a sliver of a chance. After all, Kunlun’s Field is weaker than us.”
“The Zuling Field was part of the Shatuo Seven Fields 30 years ago. In 30 short years, a brilliant world has been crumbled to dust.”
Supreme Saint Jiuling spoke bitterly. “I am guessing that the Seven Fields Merits Battle will be held in a short while to officially choose the world with the least potential to become the newest battlefield with Hell World. Then, we must fight with all our might. We can’t allow the Guanghan Field to become the next Zuling Field. We must fight for our survival, so our descendants won’t become slaves.”
