The Paramount Level's beings overlooked the heavens, looking down at the various regions. They established their shrines, enjoyed their incense, and received worship from all souls. They were already creatures standing at the top of the pyramid.
And if this level of existence were to be further advanced, then it would be a supreme saint who had already broken away from the scope of the pyramid.
However, how could it be easy to take this final step?
The threshold to become a supreme being was indeed very high, but from ancient times until now, there had always been creatures of this level being born, more or less.
However, no matter how resplendent and prosperous the world was, there would only be a few fixed individuals in the end.
And the most fundamental reason behind all of this, was because of the Saint Position!
In simple terms, the 'Saint Position' was like a type of qualification, or rather, the quota was more appropriate. If any living being wanted to enter the realm of saints, the most important thing was to obtain the 'Saint Position'.
And the only way to obtain a Saint Position, would be to obtain the approval of a Dao in a large realm. Without the Saint Position, even with its unparalleled divine ability, it would still be impossible to step into the supreme realm of Saints.
In this world of the Taichu Star, other than the most bizarre Zhongzhou, the Eastern Desolation, Southern Domain, and extreme north regions all had Saint Position s, which could allow a Saint to achieve enlightenment.
But it had to be mentioned that although a large scale realm was able to allow a Saint to achieve enlightenment, if the Saint had not perished in meditation, then it would mean that he had always occupied the Saint Position s. It was equivalent to blocking his path forward, no matter how amazing the later generations might be, it was still impossible for him to step into the realm of Saints.
It was also because of this reason that only a few Saints had ever entered the realm since ancient times. On one hand, it was because the Saints' domain was too extraordinary, and even the Supreme Expert with exceptional talent might not be able to do so. On the other hand, it was because of the Saint Position's restriction, allowing too many outstanding talents in history, the hegemon of this era, to have no choice but to cry helplessly and turn into a pile of dirt in the end.
There was Cangzu and Cang Lan in Eastern Desolation.
There was the Ancestor of the Star Devouring Tribe in the Western Desert.
There was a Golden Silkworm Clan Ancestor in the far north.
There was also the Wind Clan's Ancestor on the other side of the Southern Domain.
"..."
In the Four Great Regions, with the ancestor of the saints, who was at the peak of the Four Great Regions, overseeing things, it made the current supreme experts feel gloomy and helpless, making them unable to see the way forward. This was because in their understanding, as long as these saints did not die, the Saint Position s of the Four Great Regions would not have a chance to come out.
Originally, even Yan Shenggong and Lee Taibai thought so, but from Old Confucian Scholar's words just now, they found that they were completely wrong.
According to the Old Confucian Scholar, although the life force of a saint who cut himself off was extremely slow and could live for a long time in the world, there were two major drawbacks. The first was that he would fall from his peak and every time he attacked, he would have to pay a huge price.
Such saints, in the mouths of those who knew the inside story, were known as the weakest of saints. They were in stark contrast to those who had walked their own path.
Of course, the weakest of the Saints were Saints after all. They were definitely not comparable to ordinary Martial Saints.
The weakest of these Saints had another fatal flaw. After slashing their saber, they would also slash out the Saint Position that had fused with their body and would no longer be able to occupy it.
In the end, the Grand Dao of Heaven and Earth was fair.
Even though a Saint who chopped himself down could survive for a long time, the price paid was not a small one.
It had to be said that the Saints were truly in a very special realm. Other than having the chance to kill themselves, the fetters of the Saint Position were also very mysterious.
Furthermore, from the Old Confucian Scholar, Yan Shenggong and Lee Taibai finally knew that other than the Saints who cut themselves, existences who had entered the realm of demigods would also not be able to occupy the Saint Position.
Thus, truly speaking, the Southern Domain today, including Eastern Desolation, Western Desert and the extreme north, even if those immortal saints have not fallen, the Saint Position s are all just empty space, with no one occupying them at all.
This was equal to the fact that if one's cultivation level was high enough, they would have the chance to enter the realm of saints. Such a heaven-defying opportunity was something that both Yan Shenggong and Lee Taibai were extremely excited about.
"No wonder Cangzu, Cang Lan, has survived from the ancient times until now. However, in the first years of this ancient era, the Eastern Desolation Sword Sect still gave birth to a saint. Originally, I thought it was just a rumor, but now, I believe that's probably the reason."
It was impossible for a second saint to appear in Eastern Desolation, but in the beginning of the ancient era, there were rumors that the first ancestor of the sword sect had stepped into the realm of saints. This caused a great shock to the people of the world, but in the end, they all treated it as a rumor, and even the sword sect itself could not confirm it.
"I'm afraid that old fellow has already returned to the sword faction."1
The Old Confucian Scholar gazed in the direction of the Eastern Desolation. He had similarly risen in the starting period of this ancient era and was of the same generation as the Sword Sect's first ancestor. Naturally, he was able to recognize the shocking Sword Intent that had erupted with Eastern Desolation not too long ago.
"This way, the reason why Wang Sheng attacked the domain of Saints in the Eternal Land back then, could it be that he had detected the Saint Position's secret?"
Yan Shenggong frowned and shook his head, "Perhaps this is only one of the reasons, the key is still to understand why King Chu's dao heart collapsed."
"However, I have finally understood why the undyings from many years ago intentionally or unintentionally targeted the Peak Paragons from various regions, and I also understand why the Wind Clan would become more and more hostile towards my jixia academy. Presumably, this is all because of Wang Sheng."
Yan Shenggong sighed, "If Wang Sheng had not perished at the Eternal Land back then, I'm afraid that the Wind Clan and the jixia academy would have fought for some reason."
"I didn't expect those old guys to keep it a secret for so long!"
Lee Taibai also laughed bitterly and shook his head, of course, the two of them could guess what the other few Saints were thinking after thinking about it. After all, after they had killed one of the Undying Saints, these Saints were too weak, and if there were new Saints to be born in the future, it would undoubtedly be the greatest threat to them.
"Now that the world has changed, we can't hide anything from them for too long."
From his cultivation, he could naturally sense that other than him, there were also a few other old monsters that had also entered the realm of half gods. Amongst these people, there were quite a few others like him, who had risen to greatness at the start of this ancient era.
For example …
The first ancestor of the Ancient Sword Sect.
An ancient Buddha from the Endless Buddha Land.
The number one ancestor of Tongtian Tao Peak.
The once infamous Asura Hall Master of the Monster Temple.
Devil Enchantment Hall was known as the number one devil in the ancient times, an old demon.
"..."
These legendary figures, even Ya Shen did not dare to underestimate them, and they were also in the realm of demigods, so they naturally knew about the Saint Position's secret.
"After the thousand year seal is complete, it will be the last chance for you current supreme beings to fight each other over! At that time, whoever is able to enter the supreme realm of saints, will depend on your own luck. "
Old Confucian Scholar slowly said. His gaze swept across Yan Shenggong and Lee Taibai who had fiery expressions on their faces.
Four realms, four Saint Position. If their Confucian Sect could give birth to another saint, they would undoubtedly be able to occupy an extremely great initiative in the future battles.
