Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 1468: Chapter 1502: Becoming a Saint Is as Hard as Ascending to Heaven!

“Which three generations?” Lin Zifeng asked like a curious child, constantly throwing out questions.

“…”

Mu Cangtian was slightly choked: “I don’t know which three generations. It’s rumored that the three generations of Popes known to people have broken bodies and are kept in the Bright Divine Pool, but that’s just a legend. As for whether the first three generations of Popes are dead, that’s unknown. What is certain, though, is that the current Pope is still alive. And his cultivation is nearly against the heavens! Back in the day, two invincible Angels, the Holy War, and the Undefeated Angels, broke through the Bright Church and battled with the Bright Pope for days and nights.

But the two Angels still couldn’t defeat the Pope and merely managed to retreat completely.”

“Then do you know what level the Bright Pope’s current cultivation realm has reached?” After hearing Mu Cangtian’s words about the Bright Pope, Lin Zifeng’s heart began to pound wildly.

So, his father might not be a match for the Bright Pope?

If that’s the case, what realm could the Bright Pope have reached after all these years?

Could it be the Ninth Layer Sub-Saint! Or perhaps he broke through to the legendary ‘Saint Realm’!

“Hard to guess.” Mu Cangtian looked disappointed and shook his head, indicating he wasn’t sure.

“Saint Realm!” Lin Zifeng was dumbfounded, unwilling to utter this terrifying truth.

“It’s really hard to say. A hundred years ago, there was indeed a rumor in Huaxia about a naturally gifted powerhouse who reached the Saint Realm. Later on, this Saint Realm strongman disappeared for unknown reasons from Huaxia. Many believe it’s just a myth; in this world, there isn’t even a true ‘Saint,’ and the most believable is merely the Sub-Saint.

What’s more, the so-called Sub-Saint is just a goal that cultivators define for themselves. To put it bluntly, it’s a laughable realm.

How could a true Saint be achieved so easily? Throughout history, the number of people who became Saints is limited, even the legends of a hundred Saints are just a myth.”

“Does this mean there really aren’t any Saints in this world?” Lin Zifeng pressed on.

He was eager to know who was really the strongest in this world, so he could speculate how strong his father might be.

“Hard to say whether there are Saints in the world. From what I remember, it seems I’ve never heard of any.” Mu Cangtian shook his head, indicating he wasn’t sure.

The Sub-Saint realm exists because cultivators aspire to be close to Saints, daring to claim the title of Sub-Saint. The Sub-Saint is second only to Saints; very few truly reach the Saint Realm.

Even a strong practitioner at the Ninth Layer Sub-Saint Heaven faces an insurmountable chasm compared to a Saint!

“So the Bright Pope’s cultivation might be approaching the Saint Realm?!”

Lin Zifeng’s emotions surged like the sea, turbulent and unsettled. Someone who fought against his father and the Undefeated Angel must at least be a powerhouse above the Ninth Layer Sub-Saint, or perhaps the legendary and terrifying ‘Saint’!

“That should be impossible. Even if he is the Ninth Layer Sub-Saint Heaven, becoming a ‘Saint’ is as challenging as ascending to heaven!” Mu Cangtian knew very well what a Saint represented.

Years ago, his father Mu Liancheng had told him.

There have been no Saints in the world for many years. Even his father had not glimpsed the mysteries of the Saint Realm, which signifies how arduous achieving sainthood is.

The first Angel of Huaxia, the Holy War reached the Eighth Layer Sub-Saint Heaven long ago; with the passing of years, it remains uncertain whether the Holy War Angel still exists in this world.

“Is becoming a Saint really this difficult?” Lin Zifeng walked back and forth in the meeting room, hands behind his back.

With heavy wrinkles on his brow, his mind was now filled with thoughts about becoming a Saint.

He even compared his father with the Bright Pope, implying that perhaps his father might not be a match for the Pope.

“Difficult! As challenging as ascending to heaven!” Mu Cangtian stated with difficulty.

Coming from a family background, he naturally understood how challenging becoming a Saint truly is.

…

“Whoosh～”

After a long time, Lin Zifeng let out a heavy breath and said helplessly, “Since it’s so difficult to become a Saint, I’ll have to consider becoming a Saint later on. At least now I’m only at the King Realm.”

“But your King Realm is already comparable to the Sub-Saint!”

Mu Cangtian suddenly shot up, his eyes shining, “The strongest King is the most confident King of this era. Once you break through to the Sub-Saint Realm, your strength will surely undergo qualitative breakthroughs!”

“Is there another meaning to the strongest King?” Looking at Mu Cangtian’s excited expression, Lin Zifeng seemed to recall something.

Right now, this think tank Mu Cangtian was of invaluable help to him.

“Of course there is!” Mu Cangtian exclaimed excitedly, “The strongest King is one of the variables of this era! With the emergence of the strongest King, this era will indubitably stir up great waves. As long as you survive in this wave era, you’ll undoubtedly become the strongest Sub-Saint! Once you become the strongest Sub-Saint, your combat power will approach a Saint’s! Imagine, isn’t the strongest King one of the variables of this era?!”

Mu Cangtian grew more and more excited as he spoke; he had long wanted to discuss this with Lin Zifeng.

But he couldn’t find an opportunity.

“The strongest King is one of the era’s variables? What do you mean? I’m still not quite clear.” Lin Zifeng still didn’t understand Mu Cangtian’s words.

Could it be that the emergence of the strongest King will change this era? Wow! That’s mind-blowing.

“Come, sit down. I’ll explain slowly.” Not only did Lin Zifeng grow more excited as he listened, but Mu Cangtian also grew more passionate as he explained.

“Let me explain it to you this way. My father once told me that with the emergence of the strongest King, it represents the birth of a new era, and all variables in that era change with the strongest King. Back then, the Holy War Angels… were all the strongest Kings, and during that time, these strongest Kings led an era! If my guess is correct, the Western Bright Pope might have been the strongest King of that era, now becoming the strongest Sub-Saint!”

“How many strongest Kings appear in one era?” Lin Zifeng was taken aback, his heart began to pound.

“I don’t know. But certainly not just one! During the Holy War Era, numerous strongest Kings appeared. But all the Kings submitted to the Holy War.”

Mu Cangtian first shook his head, then confidently said, “As long as there’s a newly born strongest King in an era, it’s definitely not just a single one. Meaning, this era is precisely the wave era, and the strongest King is not just you alone! But, if I’m not mistaken, in Zhonghai City, you’re likely the only cultivator to reach the strongest King!”
