Chapter 635: Chapter 505: Heaven and Earth Make Way, Wang Yang Achieves Saintliness_2

"Saint, the Three Realms are to witness the emergence of another saint!"

The Phoenix gazed upon the heavens and earth, unable to suppress an exclamation.

As one of the three great divine beasts of the Primordial Continent, the Phoenix was well aware of the spectacle of achieving saintliness.

Flowers falling from the sky and churning golden lotuses from the earth are merely the standard accompaniments for a saint.

Meanwhile, the Phoenix also knew that all that was manifesting now was just a prelude, an appetizer on the path to sainthood. From a Quasi-Saint to a Saint, who knew what sort of phenomenal occurrences would happen next, and how many times the heavens and earth would pay their respects.

When the Phoenix spoke, the Quasi-Saints on Golden Turtle Island also understood, but they looked at each other, each trying to find someone with the potential to become a Saint among them.

Yet, they could not identify any Quasi-Saint with the potential to ascend.

Right when an unspoken name surfaced in everyone’s mind, an unusual tremor emerged from the back mountain of Golden Turtle Island.

"A line opens between heaven and earth,"

"Laying the path of a Saint for me."

Wang Yang stepped out, each step as measured as that of an ordinary man, neither light nor heavy, relaxed yet unhurried.

But with his appearance, it was as if the atmosphere had been pushed to its peak.

Whether Quasi-Saints or cultivators of other levels on Golden Turtle Island, all directed their gaze at Wang Yang, hoping to find final validation in him.

"Today shall the Dao of saintliness be proven by me, Wang Yang!"

A step was taken, and he soared into the mid-air.

That step seemed ordinary yet was imbued with myriad Daoist Rhymes, the sort that many found insurmountable.

Nonetheless, such bold declarations continued to inspire everyone’s hearts.

They all watched Wang Yang as he underwent the final baptism before attaining sainthood.

Dazzling wonders shone above Golden Turtle Island, as numerous Quasi-Saints from the Three Realms quietly looked up to the sky, witnessing the constant descent of auspicious signs and also Wang Yang, who was waiting in mid-air for his baptism.

Wang Yang floated mid-air, enveloped by thick Daoist Charm. Before long, a small cloud gathered above his head, shimmering with golden light, within which the concentrated energy of merit could evoke the deepest streak of greed in one’s heart.

This was the Power of Merit that Wang Yang had accumulated. At the moment before his ascension to sainthood, this merit transformed into Auspicious Clouds, quietly hovering above his head.

However, these clouds did not seem so tranquil; soon additional streaks of light appeared around them.

"Look, that’s Chaos Qi!"

Sun Wukong, who had been paying close attention to Wang Yang, pointed at the auspicious clouds above Wang Yang’s head and exclaimed.

Everyone saw it, and not just the Chaos Qi had appeared.

Beside the Chaos Qi, there was also Mystic Yellow Mother Energy, Five Element Spiritual Energy, and Primordial Qi.

Even the Hongmeng Purple Qi, which everyone yearned for, was visible beside the Auspicious Clouds of Merit.

The cloud, as if nurtured by these five kinds of Spiritual Energies, developed three small sprouts on its stable layer, with all five energies burrowing into the cloud, and the three sprouts growing steadily.

"It’s coming, it’s coming!"

"Daoist Wang Yang is about to prove his sainthood!"

"Finally, the day has arrived!"

"Everything has a beginning and an end, Daoist Wang Yang’s proof of the Dao today is the expectation of all!"

All the Quasi-Saints felt a stirring in their hearts, their gaze moving past Wang Yang to the deeper parts of the sky.

"Let’s go when we get there, Wang Yang should have become a Saint by then, just in time to offer him congratulations!"

The Leader of the Tongtian Sect said with a smile, looking at the golden lotus before him.

As soon as the words fell, the golden lotus flew out in an instant.

This sudden scene did not lead to any panic among the crowd, but they also did not delay and left the Origin Land, heading to the Three Realms to witness the moment of Wang Yang’s ascension to sainthood.

The golden lotus moved as swiftly as lightning, passing through the Origin Land and piercing through endless Chaos in what seemed like no distance at all, and when it reappeared, it was in the airspace of the Three Realms.

The Quasi-Saints of Golden Turtle Island saw a streak of golden light speeding from afar, which eventually came to a smooth halt before Wang Yang.

The spectators gazed at the golden lotus with envy.

This was the Saint’s Fruit Position of the Three Realms. Everyone who had broken through to the Quasi-Saint level aspired to advance one step further and become a Saint.

However, everyone was clear that the position of a Saint was bestowed by the Heavenly Dao. Even if they were envious, there was nothing they could do if the Heavenly Dao did not grant it to them.

Moreover, since the beginning of the Primordial Continent, the Heavenly Dao had not bestowed any Saint Fruit Positions for countless years, which showed the difficulty of achieving saintliness.

Were it not for a heaven-defying talent like Wang Yang, who had broken through from Golden Immortal to the quasi-saint pinnacle in just a few hundred years, and whose body had merged with fifty types of Great Dao, breaking through to Saint would have been without any issue. Otherwise, it might have been difficult for these people to witness a Saint’s breakthrough in their lifetime.

The golden lotus in front of Wang Yang slowly grew larger until it transformed into a Lotus Platform.

Above Wang Yang, within the Auspicious Clouds of Merit, three small stalks also grew into three buds, which seemed ready to bloom into beautiful flowers at any moment.

The Lotus Platform gently descended in front of Wang Yang, who, without any hesitation, sat cross-legged upon it.

At the same moment, the three buds instantly blossomed into three golden lotuses, emitting a dazzling brilliance above Wang Yang’s head.

"Five Qi Towards the Origin, Three Flowers Gathering at the Top! I never thought such celestial phenomena could be so inspiring!"

The Golden Spirit Holy Mother sighed and recalled that even when her Honorable Master cut off the Three Corpses to achieve the Saint Fruit Position, the accompanying celestial phenomena did not seem as extravagant.

As countless golden light flooded into Wang Yang at this moment, he felt as if he had undergone a rebirth.

However, when Wang Yang had broken through to Quasi-Saint, he had already undergone one such rebirth, which turned his body into a vessel free of impurity.

Yet this rebirth felt far from pointless; instead, it felt like the very transformation that liberated him from mortal constraints and made him a Saint.

His ordinary flesh transformed bit by bit into saintly bones, and the Spiritual Energy within him also evolved.

If the previous Spiritual Energy within Wang Yang was like a river, then now that energy had gradually solidified, accumulating drop by drop into a small mountain.

And though it seemed much smaller than a river in volume, the energy it contained was incomparable to that of a Quasi-Saint.

The auspicious clouds of merit and the Three Flowers above his head also gradually entered into Wang Yang’s body.

The Five Element Spiritual Energy that had gathered within the clouds seemed to have become Wang Yang’s own and followed into his body.

Gradually, an indescribable charm adorned Wang Yang, evoking a feeling of reverence in onlookers.

Only when the golden light had slowly dispersed did Wang Yang slowly open his eyes, sensing the transformation his body had undergone during this time.

"We have seen Saint Wang Yang!"

All the Quasi-Saints of the Three Realms shouted in unison, offering their respects in Wang Yang’s direction.

This proclamation was a genuine expression from their hearts.

The Daoist Rhyme that permeated around Wang Yang when he achieved Saintliness was also highly beneficial to them.

Moreover, witnessing a Quasi-Saint achieve Saintliness firsthand gave each of them a sense of further progression.

After witnessing Wang Yang achieve Saintliness, even the saints who were present and had stood motionless were able to step directly into the realm of the quasi-saint pinnacle.

"There is no need for such formalities, everyone!"

Only after the golden light around him had fully dissipated, and he had absorbed the golden Lotus Platform into his body, did Wang Yang know that he was now a Saint.

The Leader of the Tongtian Sect and others arrived just then, their speed incomparable to that of the golden lotus.

Among them, perhaps only Hongjun could have arrived before Wang Yang fully became a Saint.

Yet, out of consideration for the slower pace of the Leader of the Tongtian Sect and others, Hongjun waited, missing the critical moment of Wang Yang’s transformation from Quasi-Saint to Saint.

But upon their arrival, seeing the golden light that had already been retracted, each was somewhat dumbfounded.

Nevertheless, they responded quickly, one by one appearing before Wang Yang with smiles.

Especially the Leader of the Tongtian Sect, who, upon seeing Wang Yang now a Saint , was filled with gratification.

"Congratulations to Daoist Wang Yang on achieving the Saint Fruit Position!"

Saint Taiqing, who had stepped into the realm of the Two-Step Saint because of Wang Yang, was the first to extend his congratulations upon seeing him.

"Congratulations, Daoist Wang Yang!"

"Congratulations, Daoist Wang Yang!"

The other Saints also followed, expressing their congratulations to Wang Yang.

"Wang Yang pays respect to all the seniors!"

Even after achieving Saintliness, Wang Yang still gave the proper respect of a junior when seeing the other Saints.

This act pleased the other Saints even more, as they had not expected Wang Yang, now a Saint, to remain so humble.
