The battle between the Sky Star Sage and the sage’s avatar was raging intensely. Both the people of the Sky Star Sect and the Thousand Illusions Sect were all amazed, not expecting that the strong force beside Ye Qiu would be capable of contending with a sage.
"So this is how a sage attacks," Ye Qiu thought, gradually gaining a profound understanding of a sage’s thods through observing the avatar. Although he had a long way to go before sanctification, it didn’t prevent him from gaining further insights into a sage’s techniques.
Strictly speaking, the Saint Realm is the endpoint of the second leap in a martial artist’s strength.
A person, starting from basic martial skills, reaching the True Qi Stage, has taken the first step to becoming a true martial artist.
As one continues to grow, reaching the peak of the Emperor Realm, wanting to progress further becos extrely difficult, and entering the Void Break Stage becos a qualitative leap.
Truly surpassing the Emperor Realm and advancing to the Void Break Stage is another level-up for a martial artist, truly entering the hall and beginning to glimpse the powerful peak of martial arts.
After the Void Breaking Stage, one has to undergo the Divinity Transformation Realm and then the Returning Ruins Stage to enter the Saint Realm, which is not simple. This process will eliminate ninety percent of martial artists, leaving only a few who can advance to the Saint Realm.
Those who can beco sages are all in a league of their own, once illustrious figures with impressive battle records.
To make a second leap from the Saint Realm into the Heavenly Level is a hundred tis more difficult than breaking through to a sage. The one percent that becos sages will again be reduced by ninety-nine percent; out of ten sages, perhaps one may reach the Heavenly Level, or maybe not even one.
Through his battle with the Sky Star Sage, Ye Qiu felt his martial arts experience rapidly increasing. The issues of an unstable foundation left after swiftly breaking through the stages using Divine Grade pills were also completely eradicated.
This ant that instead of harming him, the Sky Star Sage actually helped Ye Qiu.
If the Sky Star Sage knew the truth was like this, he would definitely go insane.
The battle between the Sky Star Sage and the sage’s avatar dragged on for long and still undecided. The Sky Star Sage realized that it would be tough to eliminate his opponent without using peak strength; otherwise, the chances were slim.
This can’t go on, the more ti passes, the more people will laugh at him.
With a sweeping gaze, the Sky Star Sage noticed the Thousand Illusion Sage, unmoving and not making a move, making him furious. He’d been fighting for half the day, while the other was watching as a spectator.
The Sky Star Sage was enraged, imdiately sending a ssage to the Thousand Illusion Sage, "Thousand Illusion old ghost, I’ll deal with this sage; you go kill that kid, and then you and I will join forces to finish him off."
"Can’t you beat this guy?" the Thousand Illusion Sage chuckled.
With the Sky Star Sage’s ssage, it seed clear that he couldn’t quickly defeat the sage’s avatar. The Thousand Illusion Sage’s soft laughter annoyed the Sky Star Sage: "If you have the capability, try it yourself. If you can take him down without using peak strength, I’ll imdiately make you my master."
Hearing this from the Sky Star Sage, the Thousand Illusion Sage understood that the sage’s avatar seed not easy to handle, or else the Sky Star Sage wouldn’t have said such a thing.
"Since you said so, Sky Star old monster, I’ll kill the kid first, then co help you deal with this sage." The Thousand Illusion Sage knew well where the priority lay. At the mont, with the sage protecting Ye Qiu being held off by the Sky Star Sage, no one could protect Ye Qiu, making it easy for him to kill him.
Just as Ye Qiu was using the sage’s avatar to gain martial arts experience, he suddenly got a jolt, with a warning instinct rising in his body, heralding a murderous intent approaching.
Startled, Ye Qiu snapped back to reality and realized that the elder accompanying the Sky Star Sage was squinting at him.
Seeing this scene, Ye Qiu knew full well that the other wanted to kill him.
"Trying to kill ?"
How could Ye Qiu give the other a chance? Without a sage’s avatar beside him now, if a sage made a move, he would have to handle it himself.
Ye Qiu began to slowly retreat when the Thousand Illusion Sage’s voice suddenly exploded in his ear: "Aside from this sage, there’s no sage around to protect you now, right?"
Ye Qiu’s heart raced, indeed, the other wanted to make a move.
"Trying to escape? Heh heh..." ca the Thousand Illusion Sage’s cold laugh: "Do you think you can escape from a sage with your strength?"
Facing the Thousand Illusion Sage’s cold laugh, Ye Qiu didn’t turn to flee but instead stepped back step by step. Although it might be considered escaping, it was more like rely retreating.
In the sky, the Sky Star Sage, seeing the Thousand Illusion Sage dawdling, loudly transmitted his voice without reservation from the sky: "Thousand Illusion old ghost, if you don’t act now, I’ll go kill him while you handle this one."
The Thousand Illusion Sage laughed loudly, then imdiately changed his expression: "Watch kill him, then I’ll help you slay that one."
With that said, the Thousand Illusion Sage vanished in the blink of an eye.
Ye Qiu’s heart tensed, his heart suddenly seized, as if ti stopped. His strong sense of crisis instinctively prompted him to react.
"Formation, rise!"
Ye Qiu directly executed a formation technique, instantly unveiling a hidden formation in front of everyone, and entered the formation himself.
"It’s a grand formation!" soone exclaid.
"Ye Fantian is not only an alchemist but also an array master. Unbelievable that he actually studied both," soone marveled.
"Trying to master both ends up achieving nothing in either. On neither path can he reach the peak, right?" soone sneered. It was Wang Luoxing from the Sky Star Sect. He had always held a grudge against Ye Qiu, and hearing others marvel at Ye Qiu’s array expertise made him very displeased, prompting him to speak up.
Once Wang Luoxing spoke, the previously amazed youth stopped talking, fearing that speaking further would offend Wang Luoxing, who was a prodigy of the Sky Star Sect, having reached the Void Break Stage early in his martial path.
"Brother Wang is right. Ye Fantian foolishly tries to focus on two things at once; I think his alchemy skill ends here," Situ Rong agreed alongside.
Though both bore a hint of jealousy in their hearts, they wouldn’t admit it because raising Ye Qiu belittled themselves. Moreover, in this situation, they would only continue to belittle Ye Qiu.
At this mont, with the grand formation activated, so latecors could only catch a glimpse of Ye Qiu before the formation blocked their view.
The people of the Tian Can Sect arrived at the gates of the Dan Shen Sect. Their sect’s status and strength prompted many to willingly make way for them.
Master Lu, seeing the Thousand Illusion Sage himself taking action to kill Ye Qiu, bead with delight, saying to Pill Master Li beside him, "This ti, we can be thoroughly reassured. Ye Fantian will undoubtedly die, and not even a formation can prevent his death."
Pill Master Li showed coldness, quite pleased to see this scene.
In the whole Tian Can Sect, perhaps only Lu Shan and Mu Qingping didn’t want anything to happen to Ye Qiu. The two won remained silent, worry evident in their eyes, praying silently for Ye Qiu.
Standing on a hill not far from the Tian Can Sect was Gao Wanli, on a giant rock, looking at the blocked gates of the Dan Shen Sect, with a lancholy expression, talking to himself, "Brother Ye, you will surely create a miracle, won’t you?"
Speaking such words, Gao Wanli was partly consoling himself and partly holding hope, but he knew deep down that the possibility of such a miracle occurring was very, very slim.
Who can face a sage and not die...
