That said, putting himself in Fang Hengās shoes, even if he and Fang Heng had swapped abilities, Dean was certain he wouldnāt have had the strength, nor even the willpower, to venture into Hell and cause trouble for the demonic seed of Jealousy.
Dean looked at the admiration in his eyes, gradually turning into respect. He nodded slightly and praised, "Great Sage Fang Bai has done another great service for the Holy Court and its followers. By the way, you saw those plants in the lower levels of Hell just now, didnāt you? Do you know what they are?"
"Not sure, but these plants absorbed part of the demonic seedās power during the battle, and may have undergone mutation."
Fang Heng did not wish to dwell on this topic. He glanced around and said, "Great Sage Dean, now that Essekelina is dead, our mission in Hell is complete. Staying here consumes too much power. Letās return to the Eternal City."
"Alright."
Dean had the same thought. Hearing Fang Hengās suggestion, he immediately signaled for the Holy Court team to retreat.
The Holy Courtās mission in Hell had ended, and everyone began their return.
Fang Heng and Dean stayed near the rear of the team, cautiously guarding against any pursuers from the depths of Hell.
"Fang Bai, the initial condensation of the Twelve Sagesā will was just the beginning of advancing to the Twelve Sages. To fully complete the advancement, our next step is to return to the Holy Temple in the Holy Realm."
Dean assumed Fang Hengās venture into Hell was to advance the Twelve Sagesā power, so he naturally offered some advice, reminding him softly, "Iāve read some records before. Back then, advancing to the Twelve Sages required the help of various Great Sages and even the God King. Now, the Holy Court is far weaker than before. I fear it wonāt be so easy."
"Also, the God King has once again entered seclusion, and we donāt know when heāll come out."
Fang Heng hadnāt really planned to rush to the Holy Realm to advance his sacred powers, but hearing Dean mention the God King made him pause and ask, "Did something happen to the God King? Why did he enter seclusion again? The Seed of Ouroboros has been eradicatedāhe shouldāve recovered."
"Well, since you havenāt returned to the Holy Realm, itās normal you donāt know," Dean explained in a low voice, "Actually, the God Kingās seclusion this time isnāt because of the Seed of Ouroboros."
"Then what is it?"
"Because the God-given Orb experienced an anomaly."
Dean spoke while sighing inwardly again.
Recently, their Holy Realm had really been down on its luck.
One misfortune after another, with no sign of stopping.
Only the emergence of the new Great Sage Fang Bai could be considered a piece of good news, strengthening the Holy Courtās power and hopefully turning their luck around.
"The exact reason for the God-given Orbās mutation is unclear. We suspect that during the battle with the Seed of Ouroboros, the orbās outer protective net was damaged."
"The God-given Orb losing its net for a short time wasnāt a big issue, but over time, the holy ripple energy it emitted grew stronger and stronger, gradually destabilizing the Holy Realm."
"It got to the point where, without the protective net, we even had extreme difficulty moving the God-given Orb."
Dean shook his head again, sighing inwardly as he explained, "The God King entered seclusion this time to absorb the excess energy released by the God-given Orb, and also to use the orbās power to push himself through the final breakthrough."
Fang Heng nodded.
So essentially, it was cultivating using the God-given Orb, right?
Fang Heng understood how dangerous that could be.
Take the Death Realm Orb for example.
After advancing to the Super-God level of necromancy, he had once tried lingering in front of the Death Realm Orb to boost his power.
But it had been extremely dangerous.
The cultivation speed wasnāt even that fast, and that was with the orbās outer protective layer intact.
The Holy Realmās orb lacked that protection, so cultivating with it would be even more difficult.šÆš»š®šš¬š®ššš¤ššš”.ššš¶
However...
A strange thought suddenly rose in Fang Hengās mind.
The God King of the Holy Realm...
What tier was his power level?
God-level?
Or Super-God level?
Come to think of it, with the God Kingās age, if he had cultivated at the God-level for tens of thousands of years, his strength might not be much weaker than Fang Hengās newly advanced Super-God level.
If the two of them really fought, who would win?
"Fang Bai, what are you thinking about?"
"Hmm..."
Fang Heng raised his head and said, "Nothing much. I was just wonderingāwhere did the God-given Orb come from? Maybe if we trace its origin, we could find a way to control it."
"Iām not sure. The God-given Orb has always been in the Holy Realm and can only be used by the God King. Itās stored on the top floor of the atticāI suppose itās part of the Holy Realm itself."
Dean paused for a moment, then continued, "With the God King in seclusion, completing the advancement to the Twelve Sages may face some difficulties. But donāt worryāonce we return to the Holy Realm, all the Great Sages will discuss together and try to find a way to help you break through. Also, even though youāve advanced to a Great Sage, the formal ritual has not yet been completed. We can take this opportunity to conduct the ritual..."
Currently, the Holy Courtās reputation among humans was declining. This victorious expedition into Hell had helped boost morale a bit. If they could also introduce a newly advanced, powerful Great Sage, it would be a great chance to restore their reputation.
"No, Great Sage Dean, I have some other matters to deal with, so I wonāt be returning to the Holy Court just yet."
"Hmm?"
Dean looked at Fang Heng with a puzzled expression.
Strangeāwasnāt this guy in such a hurry to come here just to advance to the Twelve Sages?
Why wasnāt he in a hurry anymore?
Fang Heng smiled faintly.
Since returning to the Holy Court wouldnāt yield a method for advancing the Twelve Sages anytime soon, it was better to prioritize helping Cleriway, who might currently be in danger.
No need to waste time.
"Just some minor issues. Iāll return to the Holy Realm as soon as Iāve resolved them."
"Alright then."
Dean thought to himself that this newly advanced Great Sage sure had a lot on his plate. Since there was no convincing him otherwise, he simply nodded and said, "Very well, then Iāll return to the Holy Realm first and discuss with the other Great Sages to help find your path to advancement."
"Thank you, Great Sage Dean."
Fang Heng cupped his hands in a gesture of gratitude.
Through necromancy, Fang Heng was very aware that beyond the God-level existed the Super-God level.
If he successfully completed the advancement to the Twelve Sages, it should correspond to a demigod-level or God-level sacred study.
If he wanted to go even further...
Then perhaps...
He would have to become the God King?š»šš¦š¦šøāÆš·šš°šāÆš.š¤š°š®
It was certain that there was only one slot for a Super-God level.
Which meant, if the current God King was already at the Super-God level, then as long as he remained in place, Fang Heng would never be able to push his sacred study to the final step.
