Chapter 1069: Chapter 566: The Path Above the Law Realm (4K)_2

This was also why he did not believe Lapis could contend with the Saint Realm.

However,

“Theoretically, mastering the concept of the second stage would qualify the top Principle Realm practitioners as being at the Peak of Principle Realm, granting them the qualifications to break through to the Saint Realm, not to mention that Lapis’s conceptual realm is even higher.”

“If only Lapis could break through the barrier, then Tianyuan City would possess a truly nation-anchoring combat power, and even facing Dragon Sleep Valley would not cause the slightest panic.”

So, how could one break through this barrier?

Unknown!

Lapis did not know, and when Mu Yuan asked, this angel looked bewildered with her large eyes: Who is she? Breaking through? Breaking through what?

Unlike Dead Bone and Duo Lai who were at the fourth-order peak, at the Heaven and Earth Realm peak, they could detect the ‘barrier,’ vaguely grasp the opportunity to break through, and seize this moment to refine.

Lapis had none of that.

It was as if there was no path ahead, as if the Principle Realm was already at the pinnacle of the world.

Was it related to her being a Miracle Building life?

No, apart from not being able to leave her territory, Lapis was no different from a true angel, a true living being.

Whatever way others broke through, she had to do the same.

Though Miracle Building lives were rare, some information could still be found in Tai Xuan, which Mu Yuan had thoroughly researched.

The real reason Lapis did not know how to break through was precisely because there was no path ahead.

It was necessary to forge her own path.

But how to forge it?

Mu Yuan did not know.

The Tai Xuan Alliance, one of the chosen Seven Great Countries…

Did not know either!

That’s right, there was no data on breaking through to the Saint Realm in Tai Xuan, not even a little bit.

…

Several months prior.

During the military parade celebration, Mu Yuan led a force of elite warriors to Xuan Du to participate in the parade ceremony. Then, one day,

In the Alliance Conference building, atop the Nine-Colour Tower,

Mu Yuan posed his quandary to Elder Lin, one of the four pillars of the nation, who went by the unremarkable title of ‘Elder Yunyan.’

“How does one reach the Saint Realm?”

Elder Lin took a puff of his pipe and shook his head slightly, “In Tai Xuan, to this day, there has been no instance of someone breaking through to the Saint Realm. You heard me right, there’s absolutely none.”

Seeing the exceptionally talented and poised young man looking surprised, Elder Lin couldn’t help but chuckle.

But it was to be expected. Anyone in Tai Xuan who first learned of such a secret would be shocked.

He said, “What I’m about to tell you is the highest secret of our Tai Xuan. This story, it starts sixty-two years ago.”

The sunlight through the spacious floor-to-ceiling windows could not penetrate into this office, hundreds of meters high.

Here, mist swirled around, seeming to cloak the past, present, and future, time and space – shrouding the ancient secrets.

Mu Yuan should have realized this earlier!

He had always been curious as to why Tai Xuan surpassed many countries great and small and stood at the pinnacle of the world.

Perhaps it was due to the infinite Great Force of the nation-anchoring four pillars;

Perhaps it was because of the Legendary Lives that had entered into contracts with Tai Xuan, incredibly formidable.

But regardless of which, both required a process.

However, as far as Mu Yuan knew, the Alliance had been established sixty-two years ago, and within a few years, it stood alongside the Shen Yao Empire as one of the chosen Seven Great Countries.

Without the Great Power wielders of the Saint Realm, how could it be called a great nation? Even one or two Saints might not be enough.

And sixty-two years ago, when the last great calamity came upon Lanxing, only a very few individuals had entered the Eternal World, and their stay was not long.

At that time, Tai Xuan was still in the era of great development, facing greater dangers than now, and there was not any significant inheritance to speak of.

Without powerful Miracle Buildings and complete practice materials, even those with exceptional talent would find it extremely difficult to step into the Principle Realm or even to break through the legendary barrier, danger lurking at every turn.

Not to mention the legendary Saint Realm.

“At the time, it was the end of a great cataclysm. The last generation’s great power, the Myriad Phenomena Empire, had perished in the great disaster that happened sixty-two years ago. These unspoiled areas in the various great domains were in dire need of revival.”

“In such circumstances, we the ‘chosen ones’ from Lanxing arrived in the Eternal World, batch after batch. Most perished in the vast wilderness while a few quickly became powerful through fortuitous opportunities. Yet even the powerful were infinitesimal in the face of the cataclysm that enveloped the whole Eternal World.”

“It was then that the Holy Griffon Empire supported the ‘chosen ones’ from Shen Yao. The Griffin Empire needed a great power to succeed the Myriad Phenomena Empire, to clean up the aftermath, develop the wilderness, and act as the first line of defense against the disaster of the Red Mist.”

“It probably involved signing many strict contracts. In any case, before long, the faction-level power of the Shen Yao Empire was born. With the support of the Griffin Empire and being born in accordance with the trends of heaven and earth, they soon had the capability to resist the disaster and held various authorities of heaven and earth.”

Elder Lin chuckled, “If it had been us Tai Xuan who received support at the time, we might have had difficulty refusing even harsh treaties. Fortunately…”

Perhaps the cataclysm from sixty-two years ago was too severe, countless living beings perished, and numerous countries were destroyed.

The newly established Shen Yao Empire did not manage to clean up the aftermath neatly, and the Red Mist was still spreading.

At that time, Lin Guozhu and Lord of Luo Fu Mountain, along with their two companions, made a pact with the world by chance.

By promising a future where the alliance would expand its territory to a certain limit, filling vast areas with life and accommodating countless living beings, they amalgamated the heart of the coalition and founded the Tai Xuan Alliance, which soon became renowned across the world.

The four pillars of the nation, the elders of Tai Xuan, thus ‘ascended to sainthood’.

“We are saints, yet we are not saints; merely borrowing from the might of the Tai Xuan Alliance. Leveraging the coalition’s national fortune, we can display ever-increasing power, even rivaling that of Great Lords.”

“But the cost…”

The four national pillars were not of the True Saint Realm.

They could not cultivate, nor could they exercise the rights of ‘recruiting troops’ or ‘building constructions’ that were powers of the Miracle Lord.

“So, the future of the alliance is in the hands of you youngsters.”

Elder Lin was serious in saying this.

However, he did not put too much pressure on young people like Tianyuan.

He said, “As for now, the person in Tai Xuan who is most likely to break through to the Saint Realm is that kid, Wang Beiting.”

He was the famous Lord Beiting!

Mu Yuan somewhat understood why Lord Beiting’s reputation was so formidable; there were whispers that he was the first of Tai Xuan.

In a sense, that was true.

Elder Lin said, “Perhaps ten, or a little more than ten years ago, that kid, Wang Beiting, quietly cultivated to the Peak of Principle Realm. His miraculous combat achievements when he was young were not one bit fewer than yours, but after he got older, he kept a low profile, always remaining within his domain, he is either searching or perhaps already on the path to a breakthrough.”

“Hm, we in Tai Xuan do not have a reference case for breaking through to the Saint Realm, but after all, we are a great country and have gathered some rough ideas over the years. These ideas can be summarized in three sentences.”

“‘Find the path that suits oneself.'”

“‘Embark on this unique road.'”

“‘And climb that road relentlessly, until the end, to push open the gates of the Saint Realm.'”

“Talking about this might be premature for you, but once you’ve reached the Peak of Principle Realm, you might find something. What kind of discovery? I have never stayed at the Peak of Principle Realm and lack that experience, so the future will still depend on you young people.”

This is the ‘Path to Ascension’.

It can be seen as a rite that ritually conjoins heaven, earth, and nature with the law.

There are three stages in total.

The first stage is difficult; the second stage is difficult; the third stage is also difficult.

…@@novelbin@@

Mu Yuan withdrew his memories, standing inside the Tianyuan Cathedral, in front of Lapis.

“To find one’s own path, this path must inevitably be related to the job rank of the strong, their expertise, and the concepts they grasp, but this path needs a more specific direction and process.”

“For instance, there once was a renowned Giant Dragon King whose Path to Ascension was to unite dozens of large dragon clans and lead countless giant dragons to slay monsters of the Law Realm and confront great forces from the Saint Realm, establishing the formidable power known as ‘Giant Dragon Island’.”

“Take for example, a Great Power called the ‘Duel King’, whose Path to Ascension was also quite evident: dueling! At the peak of the Law Realm, he challenged eighteen rivals of the same realm, each opponent stronger than the last. Through this, he practiced his own way and ascended to the Saint Realm.”

However, the Path to Ascension cannot be replicated.

It is a divine sanction, and it is unique.

The Path to Ascension for any person will differ, even if they share the same job rank or are even twins; their paths will be entirely distinct.

“The difficulty lies in finding your own path.”

“Once the right path is found, and once you begin to walk it, from the obscurity of the Peak of Principle Realm, you can glimpse that long and lofty path which ascends to the heavens.”

“Can Lapis find it?”
