The Quintessential Saint Stage!

Upon hearing Elder Huo’s words, Duan Ling Tian could not help but narrow his eyes immediately!

Currently, Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base had only broken through to the Early Exemplary Saint Stage. If he wanted to break through to the Quintessential Saint Stage, he would need some time as well even if he had a high innate talent and the help of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. Moreover, he was certain to encounter many obstacles if he wanted to make a major breakthrough in his cultivation base.

“Elder Huo, you’re certain about this?” Duan Ling Tian asked skeptically as he took a deep breath.

“Yes.” Elder Huo’s answer left no room for doubt. “Not only is the Saint Origin of a person at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage much stronger than someone at the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, but most importantly, I noticed that the so-called powerhouses at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage have different eyes compared to people at the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. It’s as though they’d undergone a transformation!”

After Duan Ling Tian came to the Fire Worship Sect, he had encountered many powerhouses at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage or higher as well. Naturally, these people were elders in the sect. During this time, Elder Huo had discovered something different about the Fire Worship Sect’s elders. It seemed as though their eyes had undergone a great transformation once they had broken through to the Third Form from the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

“A powerhouse at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage will have a transformation in their eyes?” Duan Ling Tian was stunned when he heard this. Then, he could not help but guess. “It’s said that every form up until the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, has a huge gap in strength. Apart from the boost in Saint Origin, there are other aspects as well that would be boosted. Don’t tell me the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage boosts the eyes?” Duan Ling Tian was certain of his speculation.

“I’ll ask Senior Brother Liu Yun when he comes back.” However, even if he was certain of his speculation, it was still just a speculation. For this reason, Duan Ling Tian did not think about it too much and decided to just ask Liu Yun about it when he came back.

Time continued to pass by quietly.

After about an hour had gone by, Liu Yun’s figure appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian. Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up instantly as he rose up to welcome Liu Yun.

“Senior Brother Liu Yun, what’s the situation like?” Duan Ling Tian asked without beating around the bush as he looked at Liu Yun.

Currently, Duan Ling Tian was not a match for Wen Yan’s senior brother because he did not dare to wield the Jasper Celestial Sword in front of him.

If the other party was in the sect and was not in closed-door cultivation, he would definitely come knocking on Duan Ling Tian’s door soon. At that time, it would be fine if Duan Ling Tian stayed in his residence. However, if he left his residence, he would definitely be tortured by Wen Yan’s senior brother. Based on how much Wen Yan hated him, her senior brother definitely would not show him any mercy. At that time, he would definitely be severely injured! If he was severely injured, it would take time for him to recuperate. It would be impossible for him to serve in the Saint Land Enforcement Hall for the time being. If that happened, he would not be able to see Ke’er and their daughter.

That was not something Duan Ling Tian could accept. At this moment, he wished he could just fly into the Enforcement Hall! He could not accept not seeing Ke’er and their daughter as soon as he could.

“Junior Brother Ling Tian, you’re in luck! Bu Hong seemed to have left for somewhere far recently. He won’t be returning to the sect for the time being,” Liu Yun replied.

Bu Hong was Wen Yan’s senior brother, the true disciple who was ranked second on the True Ranking. He was a powerhouse whose cultivation base was at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

“He has left for somewhere far away?” Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, delighted when he heard this. At the same time, he sighed in relief inwardly. If this was the case, it would not affect him accepting the assignment in the Fire Remuneration Palace and serving in the Saint Land Enforcement Hall.

“Junior Brother Ling Tian, although Bu Hong has left for someplace far away and won’t be returning for the time being, it’s still better for you to stay in your residence and seize this chance to raise your cultivation base,” Liu Yun said solemnly, “Although you only possess a yellow Innate Spiritual Root, you still have a chance of breaking through to the Quintessential Saint Stage if you’re diligent enough! Once you break through to the Quintessential Saint Stage, it won’t be impossible for you to defeat Bu Hong with the various tricks you have up your sleeve!” Based on his words, he was confident in Duan Ling Tian’s ability even though he thought Duan Ling Tian only possessed a yellow Innate Spiritual Root. This was because of the strength he had seen Duan Ling Tian demonstrated so far. He respected Duan Ling Tian and thought he was strong. After all, Duan Ling Tian had defeated Wen Yan who was ranked ninth on the True Ranking in just a move.

When Liu Yun first heard this news, he was only afraid Duan Ling Tian would offend Bu Hong. He was not surprised at all that Duan Ling Tian managed to defeat Wen Yan.

Previously, when they were in the Palace of Death, Duan Ling Tian’s last sword technique could be considered as top-rated among powerhouses at the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in the Dao Martial Saint Land. Wen Yan who was only mediocre among those powerhouses would not be a match for Duan Ling Tian. Due to this reason, he was certain Duan Ling Tian would be ranked in the top five of the True Ranking.

‘Yellow Innate Spiritual Root?’ Duan Ling Tian shook his head inwardly when he heard Liu Yun’s words. To him, the yellow Innate Spiritual Root was ancient history. Currently, his Innate Spiritual Root had transformed into a blue Innate Spiritual Root. With the help of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, his cultivation speed was almost on par with those geniuses who possessed indigo Innate Spiritual Roots.

Naturally, Liu Yun was unaware of this. In Liu Yun’s eyes, Duan Ling Tian possessed a yellow Innate Spiritual Root just like the rumor said.

“Senior Brother Liu Yun!” Suddenly, Duan Ling Tian seemed to have recalled something as he asked, “The First Form of the Saint Celestial Stage is known as the Saint Origin Form. Do you know what the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage is called?”

“The Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage is also known as the Spiritual Eye Form!” Liu Yun replied even though he had no idea why Duan Ling Tian would ask such a question.

“The Spiritual Eye Form?” Upon hearing Liu Yun’s words, Duan Ling Tian could not help but narrow his eyes. He realized he was right in his speculation.

The Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage was indeed related to one’s eyes. No wonder Elder Huo said the eyes of powerhouses at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage had undergone a transformation.

“Senior Brother Liu Yun, the First Form of the Saint Celestial Stage is known as the Saint Origin Form because when one breaks through to the Saint Celestial Stage, the Saint Energy in one’s body would transform into Saint Origin. However, why is the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage known as the Spiritual Eye Form?” Duan Ling Tian continued to ask.

Although Liu Yun did not know why Duan Ling Tian kept asking about this, he still answered him, “The Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage is known as the Spiritual Eye Form because powerhouses at the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage need to temper their eyes into Spiritual Eyes before they can successfully break through to the Third Form! For this reason, those who are at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage or above have extraordinary eyes. Once one forms Spiritual Eyes, one’s eyesight would improve by several times!”

Liu Yun seemed to have remembered something as he said, “I’m not exaggerating, but if I have Spiritual Eyes, I would’ve been able to see the last sword technique you used to kill Yang Wen previously!”

The memory of the sword technique that Duan Ling Tian used to kill Yang Wen that day was deeply etched in Liu Yun’s mind.

“I see!” Liu Yun’s words confirmed the truth of Elder Huo’s words.

Powerhouses at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage possessed a pair of extraordinary Spiritual Eyes that granted them amazing eyesight!

Perhaps, he really needed to break through to the Quintessential Saint Stage before he could prevent the powerhouses at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage from noticing the Jasper Celestial Sword.

“Junior Brother Ling Tian, is there a reason you’re asking about this?” Liu Yun asked curiously.

“I’m just curious,” Duan Ling Tian responded with a smile. His eyes flashed for an instant that it escaped Liu Yun’s notice.

“Junior Brother Ling Tian,” Liu Yun asked, “I heard you’ve already gone to the Fire Remuneration Palace to inquire about the matter of serving in the Enforcement Hall. Do you still plan to serve in the Enforcement Hall?”

“Of course.” Duan Ling Tian nodded with determination. It was only natural he wanted to go to the Enforcement Hall since his wife and daughter were imprisoned there.

If he wanted to save them, he would also need to understand the situation in the Enforcement Hall so he could plan accordingly.

As Duan Ling Tian nodded his head, Liu Yun suddenly asked, “Junior Brother Ling Tian, you know the Saint Girl, right?”

This question caught Duan Ling Tian unprepared and caused him to widen his eyes. He did not expect Liu Yun to ask him such a question.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian widened his eyes, they returned to normal again. Then, he asked nonchalantly, “Senior Brother Liu Yun, what makes you ask such a question?”

“It’s nothing. I just feel everything is too coincidental.” Although Duan Ling Tian had widened his eyes for just a moment, Liu Yun had noticed it. It caused him to feel even more certain of his speculation that Duan Ling Tian knew the Saint Girl of their Fire Worship Sect!

“Coincidental? How so?” Duan Ling Tian pretended to be calm.

“Junior Brother Ling Tian, do you really have to ask?” Liu Yun asked as he looked at Duan Ling Tian knowingly.
