Chapter 637: Chapter 506: The Great War of the Demon Clan Resumes_2

"If not, with the fusion of fifty types of the Power of the Great Dao within oneself, no matter from which perspective, you are truly qualified to Achieve Saintliness,"

Daoist Ancestor Hongjun had revealed everything, including how the celestial Dao Will had once prevented him from achieving saintliness, stubbornly refusing to bestow the Saint Fruit Position, and how they, the seven saints, had forcefully come to the Origin Land, threatening the celestial Dao Will to bestow saintliness upon Wang Yang.

After hearing this, Wang Yang stood there, stunned.

He had never imagined that during those days when he was most anxious about how to achieve saintliness, it was not that he couldn’t become a saint, but rather that his path to saintliness had once been severed.

"This is something I had never anticipated; today I, Wang Yang, can achieve saintliness, thanks to all saints!"

Wang Yang deeply bowed to everyone present.

He understood that this time he could become a saint, obviously thanks to the help of several saints.

He was not ungrateful, and had he not been so, he would not have greeted people like the Leader of the Tongtian Sect with the courtesy due a junior.

The saints had helped him so much, and his deep bow was fitting.

"Alas, I do not know whether telling you now is right or wrong, but the Demon Clan has already deployed their troops. Now I am using the Three Realms Barrier to block them, but it certainly won’t last; we must inevitably face a deadly battle with the Demon Clan before the Three Realms Barrier shatters,"

"We hope you can lend us a hand!"

Daoist Ancestor Hongjun looked at Wang Yang earnestly as he spoke.

After Daoist Ancestor Hongjun finished speaking, the few saints present all looked at Wang Yang.

This was something they didn’t know how to handle.

After all, Wang Yang’s saintliness was for the protection of the Three Realms, to battle the Demon Clan.

And the greatest obstacle to Wang Yang’s saintliness was, surprisingly, due to the Three Realms themselves; had the will of the Three Realms not obstructed Wang Yang, he might have become a saint ten years ago.

They could understand Wang Yang’s feelings, and even if he decided not to help the Three Realms, they all felt it was reasonable and could not be forcefully demanded.

Of course, they hoped more than anything that Wang Yang would help the Three Realms to fight against the Demon Clan, especially after witnessing the strength of the Demon Clan.

They deeply understood that for the Three Realms, a saint had already become an indispensable force; even one more saint would give them a better chance.

"Rest assured, sages, although the celestial Dao Will interfered with my ascension, I, Wang Yang, am now a saint,"

"Moreover, you sages have connections with me, Wang Yang; it would be unreasonable and unfeeling for me to stand idly by."

"With the Demon Clan invading the Three Realms, as a part of the Three Realms, helping to ward off the Demon Clan is what I rightly should do!"

Although Wang Yang was initially a bit puzzled, in the face of right and wrong, he was very straightforward.

After all, thwarting the Demon Clan’s invasion of the Three Realms was what Wang Yang had always been doing.

Not to mention, he had already foiled many of the Demon Clan’s schemes; he had disciples, friends, alongside sages who had fought shoulder to shoulder, and now the saints who had greatly aided him were present.

In that battle, he would definitely participate.

"On behalf of the Three Realms, we thank Daoist Wang Yang!"

Though Wang Yang was now only a One-Step Saint, no one regarded him as just a One-Step Saint.

Everyone looked at Wang Yang with respect, for they had all come from the Primordial Era and witnessed an era where everyone fought for themselves, selfish and greedy.

If those from the Primordial Era had all considered the Three Realms, they would not be in the state they are in today.

Even with an intact Great Dao, if the Great God Pangu had not died, many divine demons would probably have already become saints.

But it was precisely because of their selfishness that the Three Realms shattered, leading to demonic calamities.

Now, Yang Mei, having achieved a Three-Step Saint, was bringing the Demon Clan forth to attack, which was naturally hard for them to accept.

"There’s no need for such, I too am a person of the Three Realms."

"Once I return to Golden Turtle Island, I’ll gather the Sages of the Three Realms, then head beyond the heavens, to battle the Demon Clan!"

When Wang Yang learned that the huge Three Realms Barrier at the boundary of Chaos and Void was constantly draining the essence of the Three Realms, he knew this war could not be delayed for the Three Realms.

Now it seemed the Demon Clan definitely couldn’t invade, but once they truly shattered the Three Realms Barrier, the essence of the Three Realms would also be exhausted.

By then, the Three Realms would already be shattered without needing the Demon Clan’s assault.

"Very well, we’ll first return beyond the heavens to observe the movements of the Demon Clan, and we’ll wait for you at the Purple Cloud Palace!"

Hongjun nodded his head because the Demon Clan had also brought many Quasi-Saints.

When the time came to unleash the great battle by lifting the Barrier of the Three Realms, if they were to dispatch a One-Step Saint to intercept the Quasi-Saints of the Demon Clan, it would be more than just adding fuel to the fire for them, who were already short on manpower.

If the Sages of the Three Realms could lend a hand, they might not necessarily win, but they could help pin down those Demon Race Sages, which would already be quite significant.

Wang Yang nodded his head and then parted ways with the Saints.

They returned Beyond the Heavens, while Wang Yang also took the Auspicious Clouds back to Golden Turtle Island.

Actually, since Hongjun spoke, Wang Yang had been contemplating the meaning of the celestial Dao of the Three Realms.

According to what the Heavenly Dao said, becoming a Saint would pose a threat to it, which implied that he really had some aspects of the Heavenly Dao, didn’t it?

However, this significance was not within the Three Realms but in his World Embryo.

But Wang Yang was willing to help because he had grown up within the Three Realms, and he absolutely couldn’t bring himself to simply hand over the Three Realms to the Demon Clan.

As for the concerns of All Saints that he would abandon the Three Realms due to the difficulties posed by the Heavenly Dao in achieving Saintliness, those concerns were not unfounded, but for Wang Yang, they merely warranted a slight smile.

The reason the Heavenly Dao could prevent him from Achieving Saintliness was merely that it didn’t bestow the Saint Fruit Position; without it, he simply had no way to become a Saint.

However, the control of the Heavenly Dao over Wang Yang extended only so far.

After all, whether progressing from a One-Step Saint to a Two-Step Saint, or from a Two-Step Saint to a Three-Step Saint, or even from a Three-Step Saint to a Four-Step Saint, these were not decisions the Heavenly Dao could make; they were attained through the Saints’ own cultivation.

Therefore, the Heavenly Dao could only prevent him from becoming a Saint, but now that he had become one, there was nothing the Heavenly Dao could do about him.

A One-Step Saint transcends heaven and earth, achieving a lifespan concomitant with heaven and earth. As long as the heaven and earth exist, the Saint does not perish, and his entire mortal body is transformed into a holy body, the difference compared to a Quasi-Saint is simply heaven and earth.

A Two-Step Saint is even more powerful. The cultivation of a One-Step Saint is still about Mana, but it involves solidifying Spiritual Energy into the power of a Saint.

Only when spirit and mind resonate can one become a Two-Step Saint.

Then, with word becoming law, all these are techniques of a Two-Step Saint.

And a Three-Step Saint builds upon the basis of word becoming law, unleashing the ultimate power of the Great Dao they grasp, depending on the Great Dao.

They speculate that the Great God Pangu might have been at the stage of a Three-Step Saint when he cleaved Chaos with his axe and evolved heaven and earth.

But there are also some who say that Pangu was only a Quasi-Saint, that it was merely a coincidence at the time.

But as for a Three-Step Saint being able to destroy heaven and obliterate earth, Wang Yang harbored no doubt at all.

Is it not because the Three Realms fear that a casual strike by a Saint could inflict irreparable damage upon them that they cannot accommodate Saints?

As for those above the third step, known as the Dominion Realm Four-Step Saint, Wang Yang had only heard of them but had yet to see one.

And within the Three Realms, a Four-Step Saint had never appeared.

The highest known force to date is still Daoist Ancestor Hongjun, a Three-Step Saint.

But according to Wang Yang’s speculation, since it’s called the Dominion Realm, it might be able to annihilate the Three Realms with a single thought, creating everything from one law.

By then, whether it’s Chaos or Void, there might no place able to block the strides of a Four-Step Saint.

"It turns out, there’s still a long way to go!"

Wang Yang smiled to himself, and his feet had already touched the ground, arriving on Golden Turtle Island.

"We’ve seen Saint Wang Yang!"

Led by the Dark Cloud Immortal, all the Quasi-Saints of the entire Three Realms appeared.

Looking at Wang Yang, each of them was extremely excited.

Sun Wukong and Xuanzang, seeing Wang Yang who had become a Saint, could hardly conceal their joy.

"Fellows, let’s gather at Biyou Palace!"

Wang Yang said smilingly to everyone. Even though he had become a Saint, in the eyes of the many Quasi-Saints of the Three Realms, Wang Yang’s character had not changed.

And today, they clearly understood why Wang Yang was calling them in.

But today, the Sages of the Three Realms, compared to the Primordial Era, were far more united. Without any fear, they followed Wang Yang into Biyou Palace.
