Onnd, countless eyes looked toward the fifth level of the sea.
It was too shocking. Ny-nine percent of cultivators present couldn’t even touch the first level, but Wang Xu had already passed the fourth level.
This difference was like the difference between mortals and gods.
The further you went, the harder it would be to cross the sea.
The Spiritual me Demonic Concubine parted her shiny lips. Respect and envy appeared in her beautiful eyes. “We’re both half-step Saint Kings. How can we be so different?”
The Truth Boat started shaking violently as soon as it entered the fifth level. Wang Xu couldn’t control it.
Plop.
The boat flipped over and Wang Xu fell into the sea.
Clearly, the difficulty increased tremendously after entering the fifth level.
Saintly light poured out of the water and wrapped around Wang Xu’s body. He flew out of the water andnded on drynd.
Instantly, thunderous apuse sounded on thend. Countless cultivators looked at Wang Xu with respect and envy.
Han Shang, a second-tier disciple of the Truth Godly Pce, went over immediately with an excited expression. “Congrattions, Deity. You crossed four levels in one try and received eight months of cultivation time. When you exit istion, you might be able to cross the fifth level.”
Many cultivators crowded around him, praising him. After all, anyone could see that Wang Xu would mature into a top figure.
It was a type of pride to be able to be friends with someone like him.
...
Zhang Ruochen watched quietly and asked Feng Yan, “What skill does crossing the Sea of Truth test?”
Feng Yan chuckled. “Perhaps only a god can exin that clearly. However, ording to data collected by some seniors, there are 17 elements that affect a cultivator’s crossing.
“The most important elements are cultivation, Way of Truth, physical fitness, Spiritual Power, potential, perception,bat experience, and Rules of Saintly Way.
“There are also some less important factors, such as mindset, weapons, etc.”
“One’s cultivation and knowledge of the Way of Truth should be the most important, right?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
“Correct.”
Feng Yan nodded. “Wang Xu could cross the fourth level because this is his seventh timeing to the Truth Godly Pce.
“I calcted this earlier. He received seven spots to cultivate, which means seven months’ time. Adding the seven months he received from the three levels that he’d crossed before, he gets 14 months in total.
“This means that Wang Xu can cultivate in the Truth Godly Pce 14 times longer than the average cultivator. I still haven’t added in the time he gets frompleting tasks for the Truth Godly Pce and the time he spentprehending the images of the Way of Truth in the dojo.
“All in all, he has dozens of times more time to cultivate the Way of Truth.
“He’s also the Deity, so he has far more resources than you can imagine. Thus, it’s quite normal for him to have such achievements.”
So Zhang Ruochen asked, “Then, what level did he reach when he first came to the Truth Godly Pce?”
“He reached the first obstacle but couldn’t cross it,” Feng Yan said.
Hearing this reply, the people around Feng Yan were all relieved and felt better. So, even someone as crazy Wang Xu couldn’t pass the first level on his first try.”
“However,” Feng Yan continued, “Wang Xu was only an upper-level Saint at that time. You should know that cultivation realm has quite an effect on the Sea of Truth. Usually, a Saint’s limit is the fourth level, a Saint King’s limit is the seventh level, and a Supreme Saint’s limit is the tenth level.”
“What do you mean?” the Spiritual me Demonic Concubine asked.
“I mean that no matter how much knowledge a Saint has in the Way of Truth, how strong or talented he is, how much potential he has, he can only reach the fourth level at most.”
“But didn’t Wang Xu cross the fourth level and reach the fifth level?”
Chuckling, Feng Yan said, “That’s an exception. Only people who are qualified to be a god has a chance to break the limit. Without a doubt, Wang Xu is that kind of person.”
It wasn’t easy to be a Supreme Saint.
Bing a god was an insubstantial thing for the prides here. They would never reach it.
“Brother Zhang,” Feng Yan said. “There’s something else I must tell you. If you cross the first level during your first year, not only will you receive one month’s time for cultivation, you’ll also receive three spots as an extra reward.”
“What if I cross the second level?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Feng Yan thought carefully. “That is very rare! From what I know, you should receive six spots, but it’s too hard, after all. It’s practically impossible for Saints.”
“Then what about Saint Kings?” Ling Feiyu asked. “If a Saint King crossed the first level in the first year, would they also get three extra spots?”
Feng Yan shook his head. “It’s easier for Saint Kings, so you have to cross the second level in the first year to get three extra spots.”
Ling Feiyu nodded and stopped asking questions.
When she crossed the first level, she’d only been a step away from breaking through the obstacle. If she cultivated ten days in the Truth Godly Pce, she would definitely be able to get through. However, she wasn’t confident in crossing the second level in a year.
Feng Yan gazed at the tenth level in the distance. The sea there consisted of golden water. It looked like a gold edge.
At the other end of the gold edge, outside the tenth level, there was a ck ind. More specifically, it was a saint mountain in the Sea of Truth.
Zhang Ruochen noticed it too. “Is that the legendary Mountain of Truth?”
Feng Yan nodded. “There’s a myth in the Truth Godly Pce. As long as beings under the Supreme Saint Realm cross the tenth level and climb onto the Mountain of Truth, they will receive a reward that even gods would be jealous of. That being’s world would also receive a spot to cultivate in the Truth Godly Pce every day.”
Zhang Ruochen couldn’t imagine what “a reward that even gods would be jealous of” could be, but the second reward was quite shocking.
A spot to cultivate every day. Merely this reward might excite and please some gods.
“That’s too shocking... Guanghan Field only has three spots every ten years.” Su Qingling widened her eyes in shock.
If I can cross the tenth level and climb onto the Mountain of Truth, I’ll be able to renegotiate with the Moon Goddess.
This thought shed past Zhang Ruochen’s mind and he smiled wryly.
The limit of a Saint King is the seventh level. It’s impossible to cross the tenth level.
“Among Supreme Saints, only 13 people have crossed the tenth level since the creation of the Heaven World,” Feng Yan said. “Now, each of them has be an earthshaking figure.”
Right then, Wang Xu saw Zhang Ruochen and his eyes gleamed. He walked over immediately, saying, “You finally came to the Sea of Truth. I anticipate your performance.”
Zhang Ruochen shot back, “I’ll definitely go further than you.”
Han Shang, standing beside Wang Xu, scoffed. “Who gave you the courage to say such nonsense? Don’t you know that Deity Wang Xu has passed the fourth level and broken the limit of a Saint?”
Han Shang recognized Zhang Ruochen’s group. They were Guanghan Field cultivators, so he looked down on them.
Zhang Ruochen nced at Han Shang. Before he spoke, Feng Yan scoffed to the side. “Han Shang, who gave you the courage to say such nonsense to Zhang Ruochen?”
When Han Shang saw Feng Yan, it was like he was caught in the act. He grew fearful immediately and went forward to bow. “Greetings, Senior Brother Feng.”
Han Shang was terrified. Someone from Guanghan Field could make the mysterious Senior Brother Feng apany him. What kind of status was that?
Zhang Ruochen...
Why was this name so familiar?
Suddenly, Han Shang thought of something and his expression changed drastically again. “Could it be Zhang Ruochen, number one on the Saints Merits Rank?” he eximed. “He’s from Guanghan Field?”
Feng Yan’s eyes shed and saintly might burst forth. “What are you so busy about that you only learned today that Zhang Ruochen is from Guanghan Field?”
Han Shang was sweating and his legs trembled in fear. Lowering himself onto one knee, he stuttered, “Sorry...s...sorry, I...I’m blind, Senior Brother Feng, I didn’t mean to...to...offend...Zhang...Ruo...Chen...”
COMMENT
Han Shang wasn’t afraid of Zhang Ruochen. He feared Feng Yan.
He knew better than anyone how terrifying Feng Yan’s background was. His one word could probably make Han Shang vanish from this world. His entire family could be affected too.
Since Zhang Ruochen was friends with Feng Yan, then he couldn’t offend Zhang Ruochen at all.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t care about a bully like Han Shang. He walked over to the Sea of Truth.
There were ten Boats of Truth stopped at the side.
Each boat was three feet long and one foot wide. They would start rocking as soon as the cultivator stood on them, and were extremely unsteady. One had to use saintly might to steady one of the boats.
Zhang Ruochen entered one of the empty boats. At the same time, nine other cultivators entered the other nine boats.
As long as I cross the first level, I’ll receive one month of cultivation time and three more spots to the Truth Godly Pce. Zhang Ruochen was filled with excitement.
