Chapter 584: Advancing to the Sage Realm (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It was impossible for ordinary martial artists to reach the upper three realms. Sages were the realm that most martial artists could see and hope to reach.
Xiang Zizhen was no exception. Even though he was quite talented and had the personal guidance of a mighty figure like Chen Yuan, a Sage was already the limit he could reach. All along, Xiang Zizhen had always used the Sage as his goal and dream. Now that he was only one step away from his dream, Xiang Zizhen was naturally extremely excited.
However, just as he was about to undergo the final refinement, the voice transmission device on his body suddenly vibrated. This voice transmission artifact was mainly used to communicate between Xiang Zizhen and his master, Chen Yuan.
From the frequency of the voice transmission artifact, Xiang Zizhen could sense his master Chen Yuan’s anxiety. However, he did not need to think to know that his master most likely knew about the situation here and wanted to stop him from refining the Nandou Domain. “…Sorry, Master. I’m definitely going to take Nandou Domain!”
Xiang Zizhen did not choose to connect to a voice transmission. He put it aside. His gaze was firm as he began the final refinement.
Chen Yuan frowned as he held a voice transmission artifact. He did not expect that this disciple who had always listened to him would actually make such a bold move after his explicit hint.
“Looks like this disciple of Sect Master Chen is a little disobedient. However, that’s true. He has contributed greatly to the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect and the Great Wu Empire. He has the right to be willful.” Cheng Riyou, who was sitting at the side, said with a fake smile. He was implying that Xiang Zizhen was now advanced and arrogant.
Chen Yuan ignored Cheng Riyou’s sarcasm. Instead, he cast his gaze at the prince. The prince was holding an ancient book in his hand and flipping through it seriously. It was as if he did not hear the conversation between the two of them.
However, Chen Yuan could clearly sense that the gentle smile on the prince’s face was no longer there. Based on his understanding of the Imperial Prince, he knew that although the Prince looked calm on the surface, he was definitely furious in his heart.
After all, ever since the prince took over, no one in the Imperial Domain had dared to disobey him. Those who were familiar with this prince knew that his personality was domineering. He definitely could not tolerate his authority being provoked.
Now, Xiang Zizhen’s actions had deeply violated the authority of the prince. Especially when Xiang Zizhen insisted on refining the Nandou Domain even after the prince gave the Great Wu Seal and warned him. This was a public slap to the prince’s face.
Chen Yuan frowned deeply. Although he knew that the prince would not publicly cause trouble, there would definitely be a lot of revenge in the dark. He had offended the prince. Xiang Zizhen could forget about developing better in the Great Martial Empire in the future.
In Chen Yuan’s opinion, it was really unwise for Xiang Zizhen to offend the prince in order to fight for this Nandou Domain. He could only try his best to think of a way to remedy his disciple’s mistake.
Boom!
In the sky above the entire Nandou Domain, streaks of white lightning tore through the sky with dull explosions.
Xiao Shi looked up at the sky. The clouds in the sky above Nandou Domain surged and lightning intertwined. These clouds were constantly gathering. It gradually condensed into a huge face. It was a huge face that covered the entire Nandou Domain.
As it continued to condense, the face that appeared above Nandou Domain was Xiang Zizhen’s face.
“He’s finally succeeded!” Xiao Shi heaved a sigh of relief. He realized that Xiang Zizhen had already completed all the earth vein refinement in the Nandou Domain. He began to advance to the Sage Realm.
From now on, this Nandou Domain would be Xiang Zizhen’s Sage Domain. Every Sage would have incomparably powerful combat strength in their domain. With Xiang Zizhen’s Sage Domain, Xiao Shi could use this place as his important stronghold in the Great Wu Empire.
Moreover, with the importance of Sages, no matter how much the prince hated Xiang Zizhen, it was impossible for him to do anything extreme. After all, there were very few Sages in the entire Tianwu Continent. Especially to the Great Wu Empire.
Every Sage was extremely important to them. Not only did it affect the fate of the Great Wu Empire, but it also determined the Great Wu Empire’s status and strength on the Tianwu Continent.
This was also one of the reasons why Xiang Zizhen dared to disobey the prince. As long as he became a Sage, his status would be very different, like a duke. Even though Sages were not the strongest in the Imperial Domain, it was also a powerful existence that could not be ignored. No matter how domineering the Prince was, it was impossible for him to do something stupid like killing his own Sage.
Xiao Shi was not the only one who saw Xiang Zizhen’s face appear in the sky. All the martial artists in the Nandou Domain saw this face at this moment. To these martial artists, most of them were happy. They were happy to see Xiang Zizhen become a Sage of the Nandou Domain.
The only people who felt uncomfortable were Rong Sufei and his subordinates. Rong Sufei looked at the huge face in the sky with a dejected expression and a deep unwillingness on his face. He clenched his fists.
After a few twists and turns, he still lost! He knew that once the Nandou Domain became Xiang Zizhen’s Sage Domain, the other party would definitely not welcome him to stay here. Instead of being kicked out by Xiang Zizhen, it was better for him to take the initiative to leave.
Immediately, Rong Sufei brought his subordinates and left Nandou Domain dejectedly. Although Xiang Zizhen had already completed the refinement of the entire Nandou Domain, it still required some time and process to advance to the Sage Realm.
Next, he would enter seclusion and focus on breaking through to the Sage Realm. After Xiao Shi successfully helped Xiang Zizhen complete the refinement of the earth vein in the Nandou Domain, he also began to consider his improvement.
Currently, his main body has already successfully constructed the Martial Demon Realm system. If he wanted to break through next, he would need his demon avatar to successfully construct the Martial Demon Realm system.
One of the special aspects of the Martial Demon Realm was that the demon avatar and the main body could cultivate two different systems. When the two of them constructed different systems, they could enter the second stage of the Martial Demon Realm,demon fusion or demon slayer.
Now that he had complete control over the demon avatar, he naturally chose to fuse the demon avatar with himself. However, this required the demon avatar to first construct the system of the Martial Demon Realm.
As Xiao Shi and the demon avatar could not communicate telepathically, he could not lead the construction of the demon avatar’s system. He could only help from the side. However, the demon avatar’s aptitude and talent were the same as Xiao Shi.
Coupled with the treasures Xiao Shi had given the demon avatar previously, he believed that it was not difficult for the demon avatar to construct the Martial Demon Realm system.
“It’s basically not difficult for me to reach the second stage of the Martial Demon Realm. However, it might be a little troublesome to break through to the Sage Realm.”
The key to advancing to the Sage realm was mainly to refine an area. Regardless of whether they had offended the prince this time, it was impossible for him to refine an area in the Imperial Domain.
On one hand, Xiao Shi had hidden himself behind the scenes. Even Xiang Zizhen did not know how deep he was. If he wanted to refine the region in the Great Wu Empire, his situation would definitely have to be made public.
At the very least, he would let everyone in the Great Wu Empire know that there was an additional peak Martial Demon Realm expert in the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect. At that time, it would definitely attract a lot of attention.
This was contrary to Xiao Shi’s style of doing things.
On the other hand, there was a rule in the areas of the Imperial Domain. One could only refine one area at most at the same time. Moreover, after one area was refined, it would take at least ten years to refine the next area.
If Xiao Shi wanted to refine an area in the Imperial Domain, he would have to wait at least ten years. Moreover, the next Sage spot might not be given to him. Especially now that he had offended the prince, there was no need to think about it..
