Supreme Warrior in the City

Su Yang understood the meaning of Ye Xingjun’s final words, which was essentially a warning to them. Once the Nine Realms can no longer be defended, they should abandon it and flee into the Endless Starry Sky, where there may still be hope for survival.

From this perspective, the goal of those Guardian Gods is the Nine Realms, not powerhouses like Su Yang and his group. Even if Su Yang and his group leave, the Guardian Gods won’t care about them.

Furthermore, the Endless Starry Sky is truly fraught with danger. Even those at the Saint Realm struggle to survive there; the strength of these Guardian Gods is simply unimaginable.

Everyone walked out of the Feather Spirit Palace, and the palace slowly closed behind them, disappearing from sight.

Gazing at the empty valley before him, Su Yang felt a bit melancholic.

This time going in, he had hoped to try and see if he could bring Qi’er out. The fact that Qi’er didn’t come out left him with an unresolved concern.

However, considering the current situation of the Nine Realms, perhaps not bringing Qi’er out is actually for Qi’er’s own good.

The Nine Realms is full of crises, and who knows what kind of wars might occur next. Even with the strength of Su Yang and his companions, they can’t defend the Nine Realms. If Qi’er were to come out, and a crisis truly occurred, Su Yang doubts he would be able to protect her.

Staying inside the Feather Spirit Palace is safer.

Although Su Yang didn’t know the true strength of the Master of Yuling Palace, the fact that even the outer small palaces could suppress so many Heavenly War God’s Divine Artifacts shows that the master’s strength is definitely extraordinary.

Leaving Qi’er next to such a powerful presence is truly safer, far safer than being with Su Yang and his group.

Realizing this, Su Yang swept away his desolation. He glanced at the people around him, his expression even more joyful.

This time entering the Feather Spirit Palace, their gains were abundant indeed.

Including the Martial Champion, fifty-eight individuals obtained Divine Artifacts. Among them, three Saint Realm beings from the Heavenly Realm, two from the Buddha Domain, the Ghost Emperor, the Demon Emperor, the Feather King, and Qi Tian each obtained a Divine Artifact, significantly increasing their strength.

And Su Yang’s group, totaling eleven individuals entered the main hall, and all were promoted to the Saint Realm, which was the greatest achievement.

These eleven people, excluding Martial Champion Second Young Master Zhang and Mahakaya, the rest could be counted as from the Human World.

The three Crystal Skulls, although their origins are unknown, are now fully following Su Yang, counting as Saints from the Human World.

This means that this time, the Human World has eight people advancing to the Saint Realm, an unprecedented occurrence.

Adding Ye Wantong, the Human World now effectively has nine Saints, becoming the absolute first among the Nine Realms.

Not only that, Su Yang’s advancement to the Saint Realm this time fused with many Taos. Although he has just advanced, the distance he has traveled within the Saint Realm far surpasses Saint Yuqing. Now, Su Yang is undoubtedly the foremost Saint in the Nine Realms!

This situation naturally delighted those from the Human World. However, individuals like the Netherworld King, who previously held some hostilities towards Su Yang, felt deeply dissatisfied.

After all, they had been at the Saint Realm for so long, yet Su Yang hadn’t even cultivated for long.

Yet suddenly, Su Yang advanced to the Saint Realm, and even progressed further than they did in the Saint Realm. Such events are difficult for anyone to accept!

”Congratulations on advancing to the Saint Realm!” Saint Yuqing was the first to speak up.

Other Saints followed suit to offer congratulations, while those who hadn’t reached the Saint Realm yet bowed deeply in congratulations.

Once in the Saint Realm, age and seniority no longer matter. In the Cultivation World, the accomplished are prioritized, and this holds true.

Everyone smiled and responded with clasped hands, Su Yang loudly said, ”This time entering the Feather Spirit Palace, we’ve all gained significantly, making the journey worthwhile. Earlier, you all heard Ye Xingjun, the dangers of the Nine Realms are beyond what we can imagine. So, even though we gained greatly in the Feather Spirit Palace, it doesn’t mean we can protect the Nine Realms. Henceforth, enhancing our strength will be our most important task!”

”I suggest those who have acquired a Divine Artifact but haven’t advanced to the Saint Realm to first integrate with their Divine Artifact. Then, train in the Endless Starry Sky and advance to the Saint Realm as soon as possible. For those who have already advanced, I believe it’s time to train in the Endless Starry Sky!”

”What?” The Netherworld King was the first to exclaim: ”We’re already in the Saint Realm, why go to the Endless Starry Sky?”

”Achieving the Saint Realm requires great opportunities, beyond what Nine Realms resources can provide,” Su Yang said, ”Similarly, further advancement within the Saint Realm requires even greater opportunities. Lingering in the Nine Realms will certainly hinder further progress, not to mention protecting the Nine Realms. Thus, I suggest entering the Endless Starry Sky, to search for other opportunities, striving for advancement. After all, beyond the Fifth Region lies the Sixth Region, home to Holy Beasts. Only those regions provide true challenges for Saints. Within such dangers, true opportunities lie hidden, maybe even hope for Saints to advance?”

Everyone exchanged glances, the Netherworld King felt uneasy; going to the Sixth Region means facing Holy Beasts?

Under similar circumstances, the combat prowess of Holy Beasts is surely superior to Saints. Truly going to the Sixth Region would mean risking lives, even as Saints, wouldn’t it?

”Is this necessary?” The Netherworld King mumbled, ”Su Yang, can you assure that going to the Sixth Region will allow Saints to advance?”

”I can’t guarantee it, but there’s at least a glimmer of hope!” Su Yang said softly, ”The safety of the Nine Realms is at stake here, and even a glimmer of hope is worth striving for, isn’t it?”

The Netherworld King wanted to speak again, but Saint Yuqing interrupted, ”I support Su Alliance Leader’s proposal. Being a Saint doesn’t mean one can sit above all, trampling the heads of all beings. The lives of the Nine Realms hold us Saints in reverence, but we must also strive to protect the beings of the Nine Realms. If we remain in the Nine Realms and don’t dare fight for them, what right do we have to be called Saints? To be a Saint is to fight for this title, to fight for the faith of all beings!”

Saint Yuqing’s words immediately received support from other Saints. This time, even those like the Ghost Emperor, Demon Emperor, and Feather King, who previously stood opposed to Saint Yuqing, nodded in agreement.

Seeing the situation, the Netherworld King’s words quickly died in his throat. Speaking against the others now would be terribly foolish. Not only would it be humiliating, but it would also draw hostility from other Saints, yielding nothing of value.
