The Holy Shadow turned into a gust of wind and merged with the Brass Bell. It wrapped around Su Boya, Saint Chi Xia, and the others as it pierced through the laws of heaven and earth and went up to the Nine Heavens. It flew dozens of miles in an instant and was out of sight.
Gu Qingyan floated down slowly from the sky. She did not chase him because she could not catch up.
Although she had touched the edge of the laws, there was still a big gap between her and a Saint. After all, there was a big gap between touching the edge of the laws and actually comprehending the laws.
If it was not Saint Chi Xia's Holy Will but a Saint himself, she would not be his match. The power of a Saint was like the power of heaven. If one was not a Saint, it would be impossible to resist.
In the Elder Compound, everyone looked at the figure descending from the Nine Heavens. They were mesmerized. How many people in the world could have such a peerless beauty?
Many people knew that it would not be long before a female Saint would come to the world.
The elders were fascinated and full of respect. Only those who had reached the Venerable Realm would know how difficult it was to become a Saint. It was a dream that they could not dream of in their lifetime.
There were so many Venerables in Xiling Country, but no Saints.
It seemed that there was only a difference of one realm between Venerable and Saint.
In fact, the difference was the height of the world.
Saints were high above the Nine Heavens. They were extraordinary, and their might was as great as the heavens.
Venerables, on the other hand, were only Venerables on the ground.
"Don't worry about Red Cloud Sect. The Academy will operate as usual."
Gu Qingyan left a sentence and turned into a phantom, shooting into the Central Sacred Mountain.
Everyone looked at Gu Qingyan with respect. Only such a peerless figure would not take a Saint Sect seriously.
Xiang Qianxun, Xiang Yixun, and the other members of the Xiang Royal Family looked at Gu Qingyan with mixed feelings.
Xiling Country finally had a new Saint. Unfortunately, it was not from the Royal Family, but from the Warspear Academy.
The Royal Family had been declining for the past hundred years. They had lost their Saints for decades. If not for their heritage, it would be difficult for them to rule the huge Xiling Country.
Back then, when the Xiang Clan was at its peak, there were also many Saints. In the same era, two or three Saints coexisted, and there was even a Great Sage Supreme. Otherwise, the Xiang Clan would not have been able to conquer such a large territory.
But now, the Sovereign Family was in decline. Once Gu Qingyan became a Saint, he would probably be able to suppress the Sovereign Family.
"It might not be a bad thing for Dean Gu to become a Saint. On the contrary, it might bring about a turning point for the Xiling Kingdom.
If we can win Dean Gu over to our side, the crisis that Xiling Kingdom is facing will definitely be resolved. "
Xiang Chixun's eyes darkened. She did not think that Gu Qingyan becoming a saint would affect the Sovereign Family in any way. After all, the Sovereign Family had been in decline for a long time. It would not be too bad no matter how bad things were. Instead, it might bring about a great change.
Without a saint, the Xiling Kingdom was already in a situation of internal and external troubles. Outside, there were neighboring countries like the Eastern Kingdom eyeing covetously. Inside, there were various sects and powerful clans surging in the dark. They were becoming more and more restless.
Only the appearance of a Saint could suppress the world.
"Sister, the capital will probably receive the news very soon. How to deal with it is no longer something that we juniors can control."
The Seventeenth Prince's eyes were gloomy. He was not thinking about the country's safety, but the succession of the throne. If he could get the support of the Warspear Academy, then he would definitely succeed the throne.
But how could he get the Warspear Academy to support him?
Throughout history, the Warspear Academy had never participated in the disputes of the Sovereign Family. It had always been aloof from worldly affairs. Getting the support of the Warspear Academy was no less difficult than fighting for the throne.
"Miss, Gu Qingyan's talent is unparalleled. He became a Saint in less than a hundred years. Even in the outside world, this is probably extremely rare."
On the way back, Orange Light could not help but exclaim.
She had always thought of her talents as being on par with those so-called Heaven's Favorites. However, compared to Gu Qingyan, she was still a far cry.
"Gu Qingyan's talent is indeed extraordinary. But what I am most surprised about is not his talent, but his unparalleled swordsmanship," Gu Yun said softly.
"Swordsmanship?"
Orange Light blinked. Why did the Miss suddenly mention swordsmanship? Shouldn't Gu Qingyan's talent be the most dazzling? He was someone who would become a Saint in less than a hundred years old.
"His swordsmanship should not have come from the Southern Barbarian Continent. The swordsmanship that contains the Taoist Rhymes must be shocking even in the outside world.
The Warspear Academy is indeed not simple. Perhaps my guess is correct. "
Gu Yun's beautiful eyes were deep. She was like a peerless sage who understood everything in the world.
"Is that swordsmanship really that amazing?" Orange Light asked in surprise.
In terms of insight and knowledge, she was naturally far inferior to the Miss.
"Of course. Judging from the swordsmanship's performance, its level is extremely high. I'm afraid it has surpassed the Saint Level.
Otherwise, a Grandmaster Realm cultivator would not be able to take a hit from a Saint, even if he had touched the edge of the laws.
Saints are like the heavens. This is not a lie.
Without breaking through to the Saint Level, one will never be able to imagine the power of a Saint. "
Gu Yun shook her head lightly. Although it was only a Saint Will, it was contained in a Saint Artifact. When fully activated, the power that erupted was not much weaker than that of a Saint.
A Grandmaster who had just touched the edge of the laws was close to becoming a Saint, but in the end, he had not truly broken through. He had not experienced the baptism of the Saint Tribulation, had not undergone a complete transformation, and had not cultivated the laws. He was not much different from a mortal. No matter how strong a mortal was, they could not be compared to the heavens and the earth.
"A swordsmanship that surpasses the Saint Level!
Miss, could Gu Qingyan's swordsmanship have reached the Emperor Level? "
Orange Light's pupils shrank. An Emperor Level technique was an extremely precious technique of the world. It was supreme.
Even in the outside world, it was a rare and peerless power.
Emperors were the kings above the nine heavens. They controlled the nine heavens and ten lands and stood above the heavens and the earth. They were the true supreme emperors.
A place like the Southern Barbarian Continent had never produced an Emperor. Even if one looked through the history books and traced back to the oldest era, there was no trace of an Emperor.
A world that had never produced an Emperor was too mediocre.
However, looking at it from another perspective, it also reflected just how supreme and unparalleled Emperors were.
"Miss, isn't there no Emperor in the Southern Barbarian Continent? Why did they leave behind an Emperor Level technique?" Orange Light asked in disbelief.
An isolated world that had never produced an Emperor would not have an Emperor Level technique. Unless an Emperor from the outside world had come to the Southern Barbarian Continent and left behind an inheritance.
"Who said that the Southern Barbarian Continent had never produced an Emperor?
And it was far more than an Emperor. It was a peerless existence even in the human heavens. It was supreme and respected by all humans. "
Gu Yun looked into the distance, deep into the Battle Spear Mountain Range.
"Miss, you're not talking about the Ghost Witch again, are you?"
