Chapter 1921: Chapter 834: The Strongest Saint Is Not a Saint! [Original Origin Technique] (3)

“This is also one of the reasons why cultivating cosmic life is difficult.”

“In the Holy Realm, cultivators can all comprehend the Eternal Holy Path Map, reaching the limit of Quasi-Saint is not difficult… But within the cosmos, under the suppression of the cosmic origin, even revealing the Eternal Holy Path Map is arduous.”

Li Yuan suddenly understood, no wonder allowing oneself to cultivate here for a thousand years was already considered an extra blessing.

“Senior, what about the last path to sainthood?” Li Yuan inquired.

“The last path is the most difficult and also the rarest, known as the Primordial Path,” Fu Hong Saint explained, “Sub-Saints must harmonize.”

“Three Paths Combined, for an ordinary Sub-Saint.”

“Four Paths Unification, for a top-tier Sub-Saint, the difficulty increases tenfold or hundredfold…” Fu Hong Saint said softly, “What if five paths unify? The difficulty would further escalate.”

“Yet across the vast universe, some incredible prodigies have indeed achieved the unification of five paths.”

“Five Paths Unification, still a Sub-Saint,” Fu Hong Saint stated.

“Still a Sub-Saint?” Li Yuan was taken aback.

“Yes!”

“Without condensing the Eternal Holy Path, naturally, one remains a Sub-Saint,” Fu Hong Saint explained.

“However, their power far exceeds other Sub-Saints, and after five paths unify, the Great Dao emerges of its own accord, gradually opening and integrating the nine eternal paths into one’s own Dao… finally achieving Nine Paths Unification.” Fu Hong Saint sighed with admiration, “When Eight Paths unify, this kind of Sub-Saint’s strength is already comparable to eternity.”

“Ultimately, upon achieving Nine Paths Unification, a fundamental transformation occurs, at this moment, their harmonization becomes truly flawless and they likewise gain recognition from the Supreme Source origin… This is the path of the Holy Sea’s origin, hence called the Original Sacred Path.”

“The Original Sacred Path is also the only sacred path that can be repeatedly verified.”

“Saints who master the Original Sacred Path have power infinitely close to the Saint Kings,” Fu Hong Saint softly sighed, “They are the strongest saints, yet, fundamentally speaking… they have not truly become saints.”

Li Yuan understood what Fu Hong Saint meant.

The so-called Original Sacred Path is merely the Nine top Eternal Daos Fourth Step harmonization… without truly letting any Eternal Dao take the Fifth Step based on the harmonized foundation.

The reason why saints mastering the Original Sacred Path are so powerful is purely that their harmonization foundation is too flawless.

Essentially not saintly, yet the strongest of saints.

This is the so-called ’Original Sacred Path’.”

“Senior, what if, after mastering the Original Sacred Path, one eventually takes the Fifth Step?” Li Yuan suddenly asked.

This time.

It was Fu Hong Saint’s turn to be stunned, then he smiled, “Truly the thinking of young people, unaware of the vastness of the sky, hence fearless… Four Paths Unification has a flaw, promising further advancement, yet even so, taking the Fifth Step is so difficult, let alone Nine Paths Unification?”

“The Original Sacred Path is already flawless.”

“Nine is the limit, how can a perfect harmonization be broken?”

“At least, in endless ages, I have never heard of anyone mastering the Original Sacred Path taking the Fifth Step,” Fu Hong Saint shook his head slightly.

“Even the supreme Saint Kings, none have taken the Fifth Step in mastering the Original Sacred Path.”

“Perhaps, the Original Sacred Path is itself a shackle.”

…

“Heart Origin.”

“Whether it’s the Original Sacred Path or the Saint King, they are too distant for you,” Fu Hong Saint said, “I came here personally, hoping you could reach the extreme of Sub-Sainthood, and if you can refine the Cosmic Origin… then you can survive in the cosmos for a long time, until you achieve eternity.”

“By then, using the Saint’s Power to mobilize Cosmic Power, you should be able to cross the Broken Space-Time Layer and leave the Holy Fall Domain,” Fu Hong Saint entrusted.

“Junior, thank you for your guidance, Senior,” Li Yuan expressed gratitude.

Indeed, he felt grateful in his heart.

The information Fu Hong Saint conveyed seemed to offer no direct help to his power, yet it greatly expanded his worldview, allowing him to truly understand the vastness and breadth of endless space-time, and vaguely glimpse a glimpse of the pinnacle path.

It was as if lighting a lantern for Li Yuan in the vast darkness.

Giving him a clearer understanding of the cultivation road ahead.

“Additionally.”

“In the future, after reaching the extreme of Sub-Sainthood, you may try to destroy the Abyss Ruins,” Fu Hong Saint solemnly advised, “The developers of the Abyss Ruins belong to the Abyss Camp.”

“The Abyss Camp is our camp’s greatest enemy and a nightmare for countless universes,” Fu Hong Saint explained.

“The Abyss Camp?” Li Yuan was taken aback.

It sounds as if the Abyss is a tremendously strong and terrifying force even within the Endless Holy Sea.

“Yes.”

“With the Saint King as leader, gathering numerous eternals, it forms a powerful camp in the Endless Holy Sea, with many camps,” Fu Hong Saint explained, “My Chaotic Heaven Sacred Realm belongs to the ’Dome High Camp,’ the oldest camp in the Endless Holy Sea, extremely powerful, with three great sacred realms.”

“Many cosmic cultivators join my Dome High Camp, many eternals in my Dome High Camp originate from the cosmos, we protect cosmic cultivators…”

“The Abyss Camp… is the strongest camp force in the Endless Holy Sea,” a trace of apprehension flickered in Fu Hong Saint’s revered eyes, “They treat the cosmos as a hunting ground, as nourishment for cultivation, even to the extent of completely exterminating the cosmos.”

Li Yuan listened silently.

It turns out that the ’Abyss Ruins’ he considered immensely powerful actually come from such a vast and terrifying force within the Endless Holy Sea.

The number one force in the Endless Holy Sea?

However, it has nothing to do with himself… no matter how strong the Abyss Camp is, in the isolation of space-time, it does not affect the cosmic struggles.

Thus, Li Yuan also somewhat understood why Immortal Heaven and Earth and the Abyss would fight so fiercely, why the Abyssal Will exploits the cosmos as if it were marrow to be sucked… even understanding why, in endless ages, no cosmic cultivator has tread the Abyss Road to become a Sub-Saint.
