NOVPUB"The Ancient Demon Sect, which stands at the pinnacle of sects within the Ancient Holy Country, is a colossus with a long-standing heritage! There are people from the Ancient Demon Sect who have left the Ancient Holy Country with some disciples, raising storms wherever they go, likely harboring some grand scheme!"
Ji Xuexiao said.
"No wonder... the Ancient Demon Sect knows the method to refine the Blood Divine Seed; the emergence of those five martial artists with such strength, they come from the Ancient Holy Country!"
Su Changkong also had a sudden realization and was simultaneously secretly shocked by the strength of the Ancient Holy Country. The five people in black robes from the Ancient Demon Sect would not be ordinary disciples, but likely belonged to the Inner Door—among the elite disciples.
Looking at it this way, there might be more than one Martial Saint within the Ancient Demon Sect!
The Ancient Demon Sect was indeed powerful beyond ordinary people’s imagination, one of the most ancient sects with the longest inheritance in the Ancient Holy Country. There were strong presences at the Martial Saint level sitting within the Ancient Demon Sect!
Judging by the strength level of those five Ancient Demon Sect martial artists, it also indirectly confirmed the sect’s power; their secret techniques and Unparalleled Techniques were of long-standing heritage and not comparable to those of some families and sects.
Under normal circumstances, disciples of the Ancient Demon Sect would not leave the Ancient Holy Country, nor would they meddle in the affairs of the other nine countries; this was an unspoken rule within the Ancient Holy Country.
Based on Ji Xuexiao’s estimate, for the Ancient Demon Sect’s martial artists to have left the Ancient Holy Country, there must have been an Elder from the sect leading the team. Coming from afar, they were likely not just here to refine the Blood Divine Seed, there were probably other motives.
With the onslaught of the Spiritual Qi Great Tide, the situation within the Ancient Holy Country was bound to change inevitably, and the other nine countries would also experience significant changes, opportunities would arise, and the Ancient Demon Sect’s martial artists were very likely here for this reason.
As for the exact reasons, only they themselves knew.
"Ji Xuexiao knows that the Ancient Demon Sect is from the Ancient Holy Country, could it be... that she also came from the Ancient Holy Country?"
Su Changkong couldn’t help but think of this possibility. Ji Xuexiao had a grudge against the Ancient Demon Sect, and upon knowing of their presence, she had actively sought their whereabouts to eradicate them, which made it very possible that she herself also came from the Ancient Holy Country.
Thinking of this, Su Changkong asked out of curiosity, "Is the Ancient Holy Country very large? I’ve heard that the Ancient Holy Country has a long inheritance and is the strongest and most ancient of the ten countries."
Ji Xuexiao nodded slightly, "The Ancient Holy Country is vast... The Martial Saints born in other countries almost all have visited the Ancient Holy Country, and many of them choose to settle there. In the Ancient Holy Country, Martial Saints are at a high level of existence, and only when a sect or power has a Martial Saint seated can it gain a foothold."
Su Changkong had also heard similar statements. The Ancient Holy Country towered above the other nine countries with abundant resources and ample spiritual energy. Many Martial Saints, in order to advance further, would head to the Ancient Holy Country. The Heavenly Dragon Martial Saint had also been to the Ancient Holy Country and learned the technique of refining Divine Artifacts there.
"There should also be strengths and weaknesses among the Martial Saints, right?" At the same time, Su Changkong also raised a question regarding Martial Saints.
Martial Saints had already transcended the ordinary, but there must inevitably be gaps among them, just like with Body Refinement Martial Artists and Innate Martial Artists. Otherwise, people like Wei Shengxin wouldn’t prefer to remain at the Innate Realm rather than directly merging with Divine Seeds.
"Yes, there are differences among Martial Saints. As far as I know, the realm of Martial Saints is also known as ’Entering Saint,’ which is divided into three tiers, each with three layer Heavens."
Ji Xuexiao was naturally very forthcoming with such information.
"Three tiers, nine layer Heavens?" Su Changkong listened carefully, as he was not far from becoming a Martial Saint himself; it was good to learn in advance about the information regarding Martial Saints.
"The first tier of Martial Saints is Divine Seeds! At this tier, for every Divine Skill mastered, one ascends a layer Heaven, which will condense a Divine Seed within the body, nourishing the physique, causing the body to undergo metamorphasis. The peak is three layer Heavens, and the difficulty of mastering each Divine Skill increases exponentially.
If one chooses to refine a Divine Seed into a Martial Saint, it would be very difficult to master a second Divine Skill!"
Ji Xuexiao explained.
The first tier of Martial Saints, the three layer Heavens of Divine Skills, every Divine Skill mastered enables one to ascend a layer Heaven!
Mastering a Divine Skill is already extremely difficult, let alone mastering two or three. The difficulty increases exponentially.
Moreover, every time a Divine Skill is mastered, that skill will condense a Divine Seed within the body, nurturing and nourishing the physique, allowing the body to adapt to the Skill and subtly influencing it. But because of this, the body becomes less suitable for mastering other Divine Skills. Mastering multiple skills isn’t as simple as adding 1+1+1.
Refining someone else’s Divine Seed and becoming a Martial Saint with one Divine Skill naturally makes one the first layer Heaven of Divine Skills, and it would be very difficult to master a second Skill after that.
For someone like Wei Shengxin, they would rather first cultivate and naturally develop Divine Skills, advancing to the first layer Heaven of Divine Skills. In such a case, if they later chose to refine a Divine Seed, they would be able to master a second Divine Skill, thus reaching the second layer Heaven!
The Divine Seed of a Martial Saint can also be passed down to descendants or used to create Divine Artifacts.
Su Changkong was also aware of how terrifying mastering multiple Divine Skills could be. Just like himself, by mastering several pseudo Divine Skills and combining them, he could achieve this level of strength.
Similarly, for a Martial Saint, having more than one Divine Skill would result in an explosive combat strength far surpassing that of a single Skill!
"The second phase of a Martial Saint, from the fourth to the sixth layer Heaven, is the Divine Body, which is to forge a Divine Body. This means imprinting Divine Patterns from the Divine Seeds within one’s body, thereby pushing the power of Divine Skills to a whole new level.
Reaching this stage, one becomes an absolute powerhouse among Martial Saints, capable of dominating a region and founding their own sects!"
