Everyone looked at Weapon Lord Xun Rong in shock. They realized that Weapon Lord Xun Rong was no longer the same Weapon Lord Xun Rong who was unparalleled in crafting weapons.
That was because he was about to become fourth on the Honorable Ranking of the continent and become one of the most talented Venerables in the continent. They were all future Saints and represented completely different things.
At least half of the Saints on the continent had been on the Honorable Ranking of the continent before. Most of them had been extremely talented when they were still Venerables.
In this world, the winner was king. No one would pay attention to the losers.
Even if Zhang Qingrong was once first on the Honorable Ranking of the continent.
But that was in the past. If the older generation could not become a Saint, they would pass away forever.
Most people looked at Weapon Lord Xun Rong with respect and awe. Everyone knew that a bright new star was about to rise on the continent.
Only a few people who were also old and in their twilight years looked at Zhang Qingrong's lonely back and sighed.
"Hua Yiran, your friend is too stubborn, so he doesn't know how to be flexible. He'll walk the same path to the end, so he'll never be able to become a saint."
He will never become a Saint, "Xi Qianye said plainly.
Hua Yiran was stunned. What did Master mean?
He looked at Zhang Qingrong with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
He had just watched Zhang Qingrong's battle. His strength and combat ability were indeed extremely strong. He could be said to be at the peak of the Venerables.
But thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was too simple. As long as someone could block one round of his attacks, they would be invincible.
It was like a person who only knew how to swing his axe three times. After that, there was no way to defeat the enemy.
Zhang Qingrong's footsteps paused for a moment. He stood frozen in place for a long time before slowly turning around. He looked at Xi Qianye and said, "I don't believe that the path I've taken is wrong. Even if you're a peerless saint, I still won't agree with your words."
How could the Holy Road he had been searching for his entire life be wrong? Even if he failed in the end, he believed that the path was not wrong.
"All Daos in the world lead to all Daos. There is no wrong Dao, only wrong people."
Xi Qianye stepped forward and said indifferently, "The path you walk is one that seeks the pinnacle of strength, perfection and flawlessness. Unfortunately, your talent is not enough and your abilities are limited, so you won't be able to walk it."
Zhang Qingrong's pupils shrank and his body trembled.
He had once obtained part of the inheritance of an ancient Great Sage, so the path he walked was also the path of that Great Sage.
However, the path to becoming a Great Sage was a difficult one. He had once doubted and hesitated.
However, the pride and stubbornness in his heart did not allow him to give up. He was the number one on the Continental Revered Rankings. The path he walked had to be different from the rest. He had to have the potential to become a Great Sage.
However, it was because of his ambition that he was unable to become a Saint after so many years.
On the other hand, many of those who used to be ranked behind him on the Continental Honorable Roll had entered the Saint Realm.
"The path to becoming a Saint extends in all directions. There is definitely not only one path. Why don't you stop and look back? You might discover something new," Xi Qianye said indifferently.
"It's too late. It's too late. It's too late …"
Zhang Qingrong shook his head sadly. Only when one's heart was dead would one come to realization. Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets.
"Forget it. For the sake of Hua Yiran, I'll enlighten you this once."
Xi Qianye said indifferently. He picked up a tree branch from the ground and waved it in the air.
The tree branch was only a foot long. Compared to the metal rod in Zhang Qingrong's hand, it was like a child in the presence of an adult.
However, when the tree branch was waved in the air, it made people feel as if they were seeing a sea-stabilizing needle moving between heaven and earth. Every time it was waved, it could split mountains and overturn rivers and seas. It was as if the entire world was in chaos.
Zhang Qingrong froze in place. His eyes were fixed on the tree branch in Xi Qianye's hand. His eyes were terrifying as if he was possessed. He was like a hungry wolf that had seen a peerless delicacy and wanted nothing more than to dive into the world of the tree branch.
Not only Zhang Qingrong, but everyone in the square was looking at the tree branch in Xi Qianye's hand. Everyone's faces were solemn and their expressions were serious.
Everyone realized that the master of the Thousand Treasures Palace was enlightening Zhang Qingrong. He was imparting the Divine Path to him and helping him become a Saint.
They were able to watch from the side. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It was a fate that they could only wish for. There would not be a second time.
Everyone was staring at the tree branch in Xi Qianye's hand. Even those who did not have high cultivation and did not understand the Precepts had deeply imprinted the scene in front of them in their minds.
Hua Yiran's eyes were full of gratitude. Only he knew how precious the opportunity of his master imparting the Divine Path was. Even a Saint would view it as a treasure, let alone those ordinary cultivators.
Weapon Lord Xun Rong had already sat cross-legged. All of his attention was focused on the world of the tree branch. Although his path was different from that of Zhang Qingrong, it was similar. Both of them followed the path of strength.
The tree branch seemed to be just a tree branch, but it seemed to be able to destroy the world. However, such a terrifying power was incomparably elegant. It was like a spring breeze that brushed past without leaving a trace.
The charm of lifting something light as if it were heavy and lifting something heavy as if it were light had already brought the true essence of strength to the extreme.
In just half an hour, Xi Qianye stopped waving the tree branch.
Many people wanted to continue, but it was just right. They would not be able to remember any more. Instead, it might even mess up their thoughts.
Zhang Qingrong was frozen in place like an eternally motionless stone statue. Even the people could not feel the aura of life from his body. All of the fluctuations had quieted down as if he had died.
However, everyone knew that Zhang Qingrong was not dead. Instead, he had fallen into a deep state of enlightenment.
His eyes were intertwined with a large number of Precepts. They were constantly colliding and appearing. It was simply shocking.
After half an hour, a long roar resounded through the world. Zhang Qingrong stepped on the ground and his body shot straight into the sky. He roared at the sky and laughed like thunder. It was as if he was venting all of the emotions in his heart.
Rumble!
With a loud bang, thunderclouds gathered in the sky. The entire Battle Spear City was enveloped by lightning.
"Divine Tribulation, that's a Divine Tribulation!"
"Oh my god, there's actually a Divine Tribulation. Has Zhang Qingrong already become a Saint?"
"Oh my god!
Two Divine Tribulations in one day. This has never happened before. "
"Zhang Qingrong has finally reached the final step. It's really amazing."
"The number one on the continent's Revered Ranking, Zhang Qingrong, has become a Saint. The entire continent will probably be shocked. Such a peerless genius is definitely not an ordinary Saint."
…
In the square, everyone was shocked. The birth of two Saints in one day was simply a legend.
Moreover, what shocked everyone the most was not that Zhang Qingrong had become a Saint, but that mysterious Palace Lord of the Thousand Treasures Palace.
He had come out to casually enlighten Zhang Qingrong and allowed Zhang Qingrong, who had been trapped for hundreds of years, to directly break through to the Saint realm. Then, just how deep was the cultivation of the Palace Lord of the Thousand Treasures Palace and his comprehension of Precepts?
