Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 122: Saint Secret Realm

Secret Realm of the Saints!

Upon hearing Yin Hong’s words, Zhang Ming felt a slight jolt in his heart.

He had joined the Taichu Sacred Land for more than half a year and had some understanding of the saints. They are above the True Monarch realm, which, according to the Divine Kingdom chat group hierarchy, is around the seventh level.

However, after the Golden Era ended, the Longevity Shackles suppressed the world for five thousand years, rendering these powerful beings completely silent and forgotten.

Rumor has it that there are self-sealed saints in the Taichu Sacred Land, awaiting the arrival of the Golden Era to awaken and seize the opportunity for enlightenment.

Therefore, Zhang Ming is not entirely clear on how powerful saints are, but according to the records of Taichu Sacred Land, beings of this level are entirely unmatched by True Monarchs.

"If the Secret Realm of the Saints emerges, wouldn’t acquiring it mean the hope of attaining sainthood?"

"Although that may be the case, the emergence of the Secret Realm of the Saints will undoubtedly be intensely contested, even though True Monarchs cannot enter. The competition between Daoists alone is no trivial matter.

There’s news that other Sacred Lands have produced peerless talents, who can rival True Monarchs even at the Daoist realm. Whether true or not remains to be seen!"

Within the Preaching Hall, many were engaged in discussion; the Secret Realm of the Saints was a huge temptation to them.

However, opportunities are often accompanied by risks, especially when it concerns the inheritance of saints, enough to drive all factions into madness.

Yin Hong’s expression was indifferent: "The struggle for the way is where the strong thrive and the weak perish. The Golden Era is approaching; it will be the carnival for the strong and the lament for the weak.

If you want to become strong, you must compete starting now, for only then is there hope for enlightenment!"

The Golden Era!

It is also an era of great competition!

Only through struggle can one truly stand out and achieve the way.

Otherwise, one will ultimately become a stepping stone for other strong individuals.

To become a disciple of Taichu Sacred Land, one naturally possesses good talent, even without a Saint Body or Divine Body, at the very least their talent is exceptional.

As long as they cultivate steadily, even without fortuitous encounters, there should be no problem reaching Daoist or True Monarch status.

But achieving sainthood is no easy feat.

One needs either unparalleled, extraordinary talent, or deep fortune and blessings; otherwise, seeking sainthood would be a futile hope.

Not to mention above saints, there are Quasi-Emperors, and above Quasi-Emperors are the exalted Great Emperors.

Each breakthrough of these realms involves immense difficulty and dangers, requiring cultivators to strive for them. Relying solely on arduous cultivation to reach such levels is laughable.

"You have become disciples of Taichu Sacred Land, each can be considered a talent, and one day all have the hope of attaining sainthood.

In ancient times, there was an ordinary body rising from obscurity, carving a bloody path in the Golden Era, suppressing various talents, step by step achieving the status of Great Emperor.

Since then, the belief that ordinary bodies cannot become emperors was completely shattered, and people realized that ordinary bodies could indeed reach emperor status.

As long as one has an invincible Dao heart, even an ordinary body can reach the heavens and rule the world!"

Yin Hong’s words were like a resonant bell in everyone’s ears, shaking their spirits, igniting the passion in their hearts.

An ordinary body becomes emperor!

To rule the world!

Who does not wish to become emperor!

Who does not wish to suppress a generation of talents and rule the world!

This is the goal of all cultivators, and it is what they most desire; even Zhang Ming was somewhat enthused by the other’s words, eager to contend with the world’s talents.

Yin Hong said: "With the emergence of the Secret Realm of the Saints, forces from the Divine Wilderness are likely to participate. Our East Peak will have Zhang Ming lead and bring twenty disciples to compete for opportunities.

Among these twenty disciples, thirteen who have reached the Daoist realm may go directly, while the remaining seven spots will be decided by a small competition held by the East Peak.

Only by securing the top seven ranks can one go to contend for the saint’s opportunity; otherwise, it’s better not to send them to their deaths!"

Upon these words.

Most of the disciples had no objections, only a few mid-to-high-stage Daoist disciples glanced at Zhang Ming with some dissatisfaction, but said nothing more.

Although Zhang Ming only recently joined East Peak, he possesses the Fighting Saint Body, has now reached the Daoist realm, and Yin Hong evidently wants to cultivate him as East Peak’s and the Sacred Land’s successor.

If all goes well, once he reaches the True Monarch level, he can become a Saint Son.

The Taichu Sacred Land currently has several Saint Sons, all strong at the True Monarch level, and when the Golden Era arrives, these Saint Sons will be seeds for enlightenment.

It can be said.

Any Saint Son at worst can achieve sainthood, and at best aspire to be Quasi-Emperor, vying for Great Emperor opportunities.

Gu Fang, who holds the Fighting Saint Body, as long as he does not fall, will inevitably become a Saint Son in the future, thus they may be dissatisfied internally, but dare not express it.

After all, offending a future Saint Son would be inviting trouble onto oneself.

Upon hearing Yin Hong’s words, Zhang Ming did not decline and responded respectfully: "I will follow master’s instruction, and will certainly seize the saint’s opportunity!"

"Good!"

Yin Hong nodded in satisfaction.

"Though you have only recently reached the Daoist realm, your Fighting Saint Body is extraordinary, capable of growing stronger with each battle; in ancient times, Fighting Saint Bodies could even rival Great Emperors with Quasi-Emperor power.

This time, many forces’ talents will appear to contest for the saint’s opportunity. If you can suppress them, your chances of enlightenment in the future will increase significantly.

Alright, according to calculations, the Secret Realm of the Saints will truly emerge in about a month. You should go and prepare now.

Once the small competition ends, you can set out directly to compete for the saint’s opportunity!"

After speaking.

Yin Hong waved to dismiss everyone.

...

Leaving the Preaching Hall, Zhang Ming returned directly to his residence.

East Peak is vast, with many halls. Any disciple who can enter East Peak has their own abode, Zhang Ming is no exception.

Upon returning, his first task was to report the news of the Secret Realm of the Saints to earn contribution points.

After all, the matter of the Secret Realm of the Saints is already known by Taichu Sacred Land, and presumably, other factions are also aware, soon spreading throughout Divine Wilderness.

With this, Zhang Ming naturally wanted to act ahead of others, submitting the news for the task.

"The Secret Realm of the Saints involves seventh-level strong beings, surely rewarding substantial contribution points..."

Thinking this.

Zhang Ming stored the message in a Jade Talisman and used the Great Sacrificial Technique to transmit it directly to the Cyan Yang realm.

Even within Taichu Sacred Land, the Great Sacrificial Technique did not alert any strong cultivators.

After all, the strongest in Taichu Sacred Land today are only True Monarchs, thus unable to detect the minor fluctuations caused by the Great Sacrificial Technique.

Soon after.

A notification of task completion appeared in Zhang Ming’s mind, and upon viewing his panel, he discovered twenty thousand contribution points added, giving him a satisfied smile.
