"You decide to roam on various ancient stars in a small universe, trying to persuade all the outstanding individuals on those ancient stars to become your disciples and improve your cultivation."
"Of course, for the sake of caution, you don't plan to cause trouble on forces with Supreme or even Supreme-established influences."
"After all, with your cultivation at the sixth level of the Saint King realm and a Supreme Artifact, you can battle ordinary Great Sages. Counting your other talents, it's not difficult to kill ordinary Great Sages. However, there's no chance of victory against the Supreme."
"As for the forces where the Supremes have already transcended, but left behind Supreme Artifacts, they are equally troublesome. After all, a Great Sage wielding a Supreme Artifact is undoubtedly stronger than you."
"At present, it's already quite difficult for you to fight above your level. Your cultivation has increased too rapidly, but your comprehension of the Laws hasn't kept up. While having forty percent of the Laws is already stronger than many Saint Kings, it's still far from the level of Great Sage-level figures."
"After all, such individuals have a comprehension level of at least seventy percent."
"This is another downside of the Seven-Colored Talent - getting stronger by recruiting disciples. It can only enhance your cultivation, not your comprehension of the Laws."
"In cultivation, both cultivation level and comprehension of the Laws should progress together. Falling behind in understanding the Laws will result in having cultivation but lacking substance, making you an easy target for those who surpass you."
"In addition, breaking through in cultivation is closely related to understanding the Laws. To break through to the Seventh Level of the Saint King realm, understanding fifty percent of the Laws is essential. Forcing a breakthrough will only lead to trouble."
"Although the Seven-Colored Talent helps increase cultivation genuinely, it doesn't cause a lack of foundation. However, insufficient comprehension of the Laws remains a problem."
"For this reason, despite your many thoughts and plans to travel all the ancient stars in your small universe and recruit disciples everywhere, you're also well aware of the importance of advancing your understanding of the Laws."
"After careful consideration, you've decided on a route: recruit disciples, elevate your cultivation to the peak of the Sixth Level of the Saint King realm, and seek opportunities that can assist in comprehending or enhancing the Laws."
"If you can't find such opportunities, you intend to self-seclude and continue recruiting when the golden age arrives."
"In the golden age, comprehending the Laws will become much easier, and you can quickly improve your cultivation again."
"Next, you start taking action, obtaining star maps from Tianxu Ancient Star and heading to nearby ancient stars."
"You find that the forces on the ancient star you're going to are weaker than those on Tianxu Ancient Star."
"This makes you pensive, as it seems that there are fewer powerful individuals in the small universe compared to the ancient stars in the great universe, and there aren't as many forbidden areas."
"However, upon further thought, you find this to be quite normal. After all, the relationship between the small universe and the great universe is similar to that of a satellite and the Earth; they can't be compared."
"In the end, you successfully poach many outstanding individuals on this ancient star who genuinely wish to become your disciples. Your cultivation has also successfully reached the peak of the Sixth Level of the Saint King realm."
"Your actions make the self-secluded Saint Kings on this star extremely angry, and they want to come out and fight you."
"However, when you deliberately reveal your cultivation at the peak of the Sixth Level of the Saint King realm and use God Technique, they all shut up and feel very frustrated."
"There's no way they can win. You see, the strongest on this ancient star is only at the Third Level of the Saint King realm, and they're just ordinary Saint Kings. They can't compare to a Saint King like you who cultivates the God Technique. Coming out would only result in getting beaten up or even losing their lives."
"Seeing these people persuaded by your 'physical' arguments, you enthusiastically invite them to become your disciples and paint a rosy future. You tell them that you are currently less than a thousand years old and will surely become a great emperor in the future. If they become your disciples, you can undoubtedly help them advance further, with Saint people advancing to Saint Kings and Saint Kings reaching the level of Great Sages. At the same time, you can also extend their lifespans."
"These fanciful promises leave these Saint-level experts dumbfounded. However, they still don't believe you. You are quite disappointed by this. These people have grown up and are not easy to fool."
"Although you can't be considered deceptive, since your 'age' is indeed less than a thousand years old, and you're only around a hundred years old, they still don't believe you. Even if they believed that you reached the level of Saint King before a thousand years old, these promises are challenging to make them believe. It's better to show them something tangible."
"However, you are well aware that the only thing you possess, the Emperor's Scripture, can drive them crazy. But even if you genuinely show it to them, this group of people probably won't become your disciples. In the end, it will all be in vain."
"Finally, you find these overly crafty and maxed-out potential experts disdainful and give up on the idea of recruiting these already mature experts as disciples."
"You plan to come back and persuade them after reaching the Supreme level in the future, hoping they won't be so stubborn and will eagerly become your disciples. At that time, it won't be you hoping they become your disciples; it will be them begging you to accept them."
"With this ambitious plan in mind, you continue to visit other ancient stars. However, you no longer have the intention of recruiting disciples to prevent suddenly breaking through to the Seventh Level of the Saint King realm, which would make you too 'bloated.' Your primary goal is still as planned: finding opportunities to comprehend seventy percent of the Laws."
"At this point, you remember Cai Yonglong's original 'golden finger.' You think to yourself how useful his golden finger was for finding opportunities. If he still had that golden finger, you could have optimized it twice by now. Finding the opportunities you need would be effortless."
"With such a golden finger, you wouldn't have to waste time visiting each ancient star individually."
"Cai Yonglong, thinking about it now, your original golden finger was indeed a pity."
"Wang Ping looked at the simulated text and felt regret in his heart."
"Cai Yonglong's golden finger was invaluable, whether for finding special talents or seeking opportunities."
"When he was in the lower realms, he didn't need to rely on his golden finger, and it couldn't help him grow rapidly."
"Now, in the upper realms where there were countless outstanding individuals and opportunities, his golden finger could undoubtedly be put to great use."
"Moreover, if he were to go to the Paradise of the Heavenly Realms, the effect would probably be even more astonishing."
"Unfortunately, he had already replaced it."
"While absolute defense was good, it still couldn't compare to finding opportunities."
"Wang Ping shook his head, feeling regretful once again."
"Well, seeking help from others is not as good as relying on oneself. Cai Yonglong's golden finger has already been replaced. Next, I hope I can
refresh a similar talent for myself. This is not an impossible task. Clearly, the highest-level Seven-Colored Talent has reached the level of the chat group members' golden fingers and can be used as a powerful system in many fantasy novels without any side effects."
"Next, this idea flashed through Wang Ping's mind, and he continued to stare at the screen."
"Just as you were about to arrive at the sixth ancient star of life, you saw an astonishing phenomenon - a terrifying phenomenon that spread beyond the ancient star, with golden radiance extending beyond its boundaries, visible to you."
"Immediately, you felt the aura of a Saint. This surprised you, thinking that some cultivator had attained Sainthood in this era of decline. However, you quickly realized something was amiss."
"Because on this ancient star, there was no sign of a heavenly tribulation. Even if someone successfully transcended, there would still be remnants of the Saint's heavenly tribulation that would take some time to dissipate. In other words, no one had undergone a Saint's tribulation, yet a Saint was born."
"You were extremely curious about this unique situation and used spatial divine power to hasten your arrival at the ancient star named Yuanling, where you found the source of the Saint's aura."
"Then, you displayed a shocked expression. Yes, even with your cultivation at the peak of the sixth level of the Saint King realm and your extensive experience, you were still stunned. This aura didn't originate from a Saint transcending, but from a baby."
"A baby, just born, had triggered such an astonishing phenomenon and had reached the Saint level immediately upon birth. It was as if they were a natural-born Saint, the kind that the heavens favored. This was enough to make most cultivators envious and jealous."
"After all, their lifelong cultivation was an extremely difficult journey, and the vast majority of cultivators could never reach the threshold of becoming a Saint in their entire lives. Yet this baby, born in the era of decline, had just been born and had already reached the Saint level - a true anomaly."
"Your heart burned with excitement. If you could take this baby as your disciple in the future, what incredible rewards would you receive? At the very least, it wouldn't be any worse than recruiting Lin Qinghe as a disciple. In other words, the baby was the key to your breakthrough to the Great Sage level."
"As long as your cultivation reached the half-step Great Sage level, you could use this baby to break through the bottleneck and ascend to the Great Sage level."
"You immediately made up your mind to build a relationship with the family where this baby was and prepare for recruiting them as your disciple in the future. However, before that, you had to perfect your cultivation to the level of a half-step Great Sage, and the level of comprehension of the Laws became even more critical."
Chapter 206: Natural Saint! Killing the Great Sage!
"When you had this idea, the Ji family, where the baby was born, was also amazed by the phenomenon caused by the baby's birth and extremely joyful. After all, although the Ji family was considered powerful on the Yuanling Ancient Star, with a self-proclaimed Great Sage in their ranks, they were not the strongest."
"Now, a natural-born Saint had appeared in their family, a sign of great prosperity. They believed that as long as this baby didn't fall prematurely, the possibility of reaching the level of a Supreme Saint in the future was very high, even reaching the level of Emperor or even Great Emperor."
"Under such excited fantasies, the self-proclaimed ancestors of the Ji family were almost unable to contain themselves."
"Compared to the Ji family's excitement, other forces on the Yuanling Ancient Star couldn't sit still. For the lower-tier forces, the birth of a prodigy in the Ji family didn't matter much, as they were already dependent on more powerful forces. However, for forces at the same level as the Ji family or slightly stronger, this was bad news."
"Once the Ji family gained power and the natural-born Saint grew in the future, they would likely face significant trouble. The entire Yuanling Ancient Star would become the Ji family's backyard, and the Ji family would dominate. At that time, there would be no place for them to survive. This was not malicious speculation but a highly probable scenario. The world of cultivation can be cruel."
"As a result, the three major forces at the same level as the Ji family, or slightly stronger, chose to unite and their self-proclaimed Great Sage ancestors even decided to come out and launch a joint attack against the Ji family."
"Seeing this, the Ji family members were all alarmed. And the other forces were also shocked. Three Great Sages appearing together in the late era, suppressing the Ji family, and attempting to eliminate the natural-born Saint, was too ruthless and offered no chance for the Ji family."
"The Ji family's Great Sage ancestors and other Saint-level ancestors were taken aback. They hadn't expected these old guys to be so ruthless. In response, they were forced to come out and fight desperately, intending to buy time for the Ji family to escape with the natural-born Saint baby."
"The Ji family could be destroyed, but the natural-born Saint must not die. The determination of the Ji family's ancestors was unwavering."
"As for you, you hadn't expected such a turn of events, but you couldn't help but smile. With such a major event happening, recruiting disciples would become much easier."
"Next, regardless of whether you helped the Ji family repel the powerful enemies and save them, or suddenly took action to escape with the Ji family's baby, both were good options. Of course, if possible, you preferred to assist the Ji family in repelling the powerful enemies and saving them."
"However, the prerequisite was to assess whether you had the strength to contend with these three Great Sages. Otherwise, escaping with the baby would be the best choice. You didn't want to waste your life."
"While you were watching the situation unfold, the battle began. Although the Ji family's Great Sage joined forces with the Saint Kings and Saint-level experts to form a great formation to resist the three Great Sages, the three Great Sages were still too powerful. Not even the Ji family's Great Sage could withstand them alone, even with the support of other Saint-level experts in the formation."
"What made the Ji family's strong ones despair the most was that their family was already sealed off, and the baby couldn't be moved away. They could only wait for death."
"Seeing this scene, many cultivators sighed in their hearts. The Ji family was done for, and the fate of the natural-born Saint was bound to be tragic. Sometimes, death was a kind of relief. The natural-born Saint was of great value, whether for alchemy or enslavement; both were excellent options."
"Unfortunately, the natural-born Saint was born in a small family, and it was destined to be a tragedy. Although the Ji family had a Great Sage, it was only relatively speaking. If the natural-born Saint had been born in an Emperor-level force or even a quasi-Emperor-level force, they would have become one of the leading figures in the upper realm."
"While everyone thought the Ji family was finished, you finally decided to take action. You suddenly burst out, unscrupulously taking out the Supreme Artifact, the Abyssal Demon Spear, and launching a sneak attack on one of the Great Sages. This attack directly triggered the effect of the Seven Crescendos."
"Although this attack did not trigger the effect of the Purple Talent - Endless Blades, it still instantly shattered the Great Sage, spilling blood across the sky."
"Of course, this Great Sage did not directly fall but relied on a powerful source to heal his physical body. Nevertheless, he was still severely injured and looked at you in fear."
"Not only this Great Sage, but the other Great Sages and the onlookers were all shocked beyond belief. They had never expected a sudden appearance of a Saint King in the battle, wielding a Supreme Artifact with such terrifying power. The simultaneous attack just now, equivalent to seven times the power of a Supreme Artifact, was truly insane. This kind of secret technique was something they had never seen before."
"Following that, the Ji family's Great Sage and other Saint-level experts, who could see some details, were also shocked or awed by your methods. Ordinary cultivators were simply dumbfounded."
"After all, a Saint King killing a Great Sage, especially you were not an ordinary Saint King, and you possessed a Supreme Artifact, but to kill a Great Sage in a one-on-two situation without any harm to yourself was simply terrifying."
"You didn't pay attention to the reactions of these people. Finding the right opportunity, you continued to attack the remaining live Great Sage, aiming to kill him completely. A Great Sage's body was a treasure, and killing him would yield significant gains."
"Faced with your attack, this Great Sage felt his scalp go numb and realized he was in deep trouble. In response, he suggested that it was all a misunderstanding and that they could negotiate if you were only helping the Ji family. He was willing to give up the attack on the Ji family and offer compensation."
"In the face of the Great Sage's submission, you ignored it and continued to battle him, hoping to trigger both the Nine Crescendos and the Purple Talent - Endless Blades for a sensational moment of killing a Great Sage. Although you were only facing a normal Great Sage, whether the previous one you killed or this one, they were both just ordinary Great Sages. But being able to instantly kill a Great Sage was still astonishing."
"Unfortunately, you didn't get the opportunity to trigger the effects again, and this Great Sage, realizing that you weren't yielding, left behind a harsh word and fled. A Great Sage fleeing was beyond your reach."
[When you came up with this idea, the Ji family where the baby was born was also excited because of the phenomenon caused by the baby's birth. After all, although the Ji family is considered a powerful family on the Ancient Spirit Star, with self-proclaimed Grand Saints within the clan, they are not the most powerful.]
[Now, a natural Saint has been born in their family, which is a sign of great prosperity. They believe that as long as this baby does not fall along the way, the possibility of becoming a Supreme Daoist in the future is very high, and even becoming an Emperor or even a Great Emperor is not impossible.]
[Under such excited fantasies, those self-proclaimed ancestors of the Ji family were almost unable to contain themselves.]
[Compared to the excitement of the Ji family, other forces on the Ancient Spirit Star couldn't sit still. The birth of a Saint in the Ji family didn't mean much to lower-level forces, as they were dependent on more powerful forces themselves. But for forces on par with the Ji family or slightly stronger, this was not good news.]
[Once the Ji family gained power and this natural Saint grew in the future, they would likely face big trouble, and the entire Ancient Spirit Star would become the Ji family's backyard, leaving no room for survival for the other forces. This wasn't a malicious speculation but a very likely scenario in the world of cultivation, which could be quite cruel.]
[Because of this, three major forces, on the same level or slightly stronger than the Ji family, chose to unite. Their Grand Saints and ancestors chose to appear together and joined forces to attack the Ji family.]
[Seeing this, the people of the Ji family had their faces changed drastically. As for the other forces, they were shocked to the extreme. Three Grand Saints appearing together in the end times to suppress the Ji family and potentially eliminate the natural Saint was excessively ruthless and left no room for the Ji family's survival.]
[The Grand Saint ancestor of the Ji family and the other Saint-level ancestors in their hearts sank, not expecting these old fellows to be so ruthless. Therefore, they were forced to appear, intending to fight desperately to buy time for the Ji family to escape with the natural Saint.]
[The Ji family could be destroyed, but this natural Saint absolutely could not die. The determination of the Ji family's ancestors was unwavering.]
[As for you, you didn't expect such a situation to happen, but you showed a smile. With such a major event happening, recruiting disciples would become much simpler for you.]
[Next, whether you choose to help the Ji family repel the powerful enemies and save them or suddenly intervene to escape with the Ji family's baby, both are good options. Of course, if possible, you would prefer to help the Ji family repel the strong enemies and save them.]
[However, the prerequisite is that you must judge whether you have the strength to contend with these three Grand Saints. Otherwise, taking the baby and fleeing is the best choice. You don't want to waste one or two lives if you can avoid it.]
[While you were watching the situation unfold, the battle began. Although the Ji family's Grand Saint teamed up with their Saint King and other Saint-level powerhouses to form a large formation to resist the three Grand Saints, the three Grand Saints were ultimately too powerful. It was not something the Ji family's Grand Saint alone could resist, even with the cooperation of other Saint-level experts in a large formation.]
[What made the Ji family's powerful individuals despair the most was that they were already sealed off, and the Ji family's baby could not be moved away, so they could only wait for death.]
[Seeing this scene, many cultivators sighed in their hearts. The Ji family was finished, and the fate of the natural Saint was likely to be grim. Sometimes, death was a kind of release. A natural Saint was of great value, whether for alchemy or enslavement, both were excellent choices.]
[It's just a pity that the natural Saint was born in a small family, and he would only be a tragedy. Although the Ji family had a Grand Saint in their midst, they were still relatively weak. If he had been born in an Emperor-level force or a quasi-Emperor-level force, he would have been one of the leading figures in the higher realms.]
[While everyone was lamenting that the Ji family was finished, you finally chose to take action. You suddenly burst forth, unceremoniously taking out the Supreme Artifact, the Black Abyss Demon Spear, to ambush one of the Grand Saints. This strike triggered the effect of the sevenfold resonance.]
[Although this attack did not trigger the effect of the purple talent, the Endless Blade, it still directly blasted the Grand Saint, causing blood to splatter in the sky.]
[Of course, this Grand Saint did not directly perish but relied on the powerful source to recover his physical body. However, he was still severely wounded and looked at you in terror.]
[Not only this Grand Saint, but also the other Grand Saints and the onlookers were all shocked. They did not expect a Saint King to suddenly appear and attack. Furthermore, this Saint King was holding a Supreme Artifact and could unleash such terrifying power. The simultaneous attack of seven resonances was simply overkill, a secret art they had never seen before.]
[Seeing this, the people of the Ji family had their faces changed drastically, and they felt that there was hope for their Ji family. Although the Ji family members did not know why you were helping them, having such a powerful helper greatly increased the chances of the Ji family turning the tide. Thinking of this, the Ji family's Grand Saint was very grateful to you and thanked you repeatedly.]
[As for the other three Grand Saints, their expressions were very unsightly, and they demanded to know why you had launched a surprise attack on them without any grievances or enmity.]
[In response, you stated that a natural Saint is a rare find, and it's a pity for one to fall. You also expressed your disdain for their actions of bullying the weak and even trying to kill a baby.]
[Seeing you mocking them, two of the Grand Saints attacked you without hesitation.
They did not want to waste words with you and wanted to suppress you with their strength.]
[In the face of their joint attack, you were unafraid and even provoked them further. You mocked their attacks as weak and used your own strength to resist their attacks, making it clear that you were not an easy opponent.]
[At the same time, the Ji family's Grand Saint also joined the battle, using the opportunity to attack the third Grand Saint, who had not made a move yet.]
[The battle was fierce, with explosions and shockwaves rocking the surroundings. The onlookers were all in awe of the battle between a Saint King and three Grand Saints.]
[Although the two Grand Saints who attacked you were quite powerful, they were still not your match. Your sevenfold resonance and the power of the Supreme Artifact were too overwhelming. You were able to suppress them and even severely wound one of them.]
[On the other side, the Ji family's Grand Saint was also very strong and had a clear advantage in the battle against the third Grand Saint.]
[Seeing the situation turn against them, the two wounded Grand Saints made a quick decision to retreat, leaving the third Grand Saint to fend for himself. They knew that they were no match for you and the Ji family's Grand Saint, and it was better to save their lives.]
[The third Grand Saint, who was left alone, was in a difficult situation. He struggled to resist your attacks and the Ji family's Grand Saint's attacks, but he was gradually overwhelmed.]
[In the end, he could no longer hold on and was defeated by you and the Ji family's Grand Saint. He was severely wounded and had no choice but to flee for his life.]
[Seeing the three Grand Saints being forced to retreat, the onlookers were all shocked and amazed. They had witnessed a Saint King killing a Grand Saint, and it was an incredible sight on the Ancient Spirit Star.]
[As for you, you didn't continue to pursue the fleeing Grand Saint. Instead, you turned your attention to the Ji family's Grand Saint and began to discuss the matter of accepting the natural Saint as your disciple.]
[The Ji family's Grand Saint was overjoyed and readily agreed to your request. He believed that with you as the natural Saint's master, the future of the Ji family would be bright.]
[You also decided to help the Ji family deal with the aftermath of the battle and ensure their safety before leaving. The Ji family was extremely grateful to you and promised to provide you with any assistance you needed in the future.]
[With the matter resolved, you left the Ancient Spirit Star with the natural Saint and began your journey as his master.]
