Deity Hero: Me! Gaining Disciples Makes Me Stronger!

Other than opening a public class on Sword Dao in the martial arts mansion of the Middle Saint Academy, which allowed everyone to comprehend the embryonic form of sword intent, Xuan Yi’s figure could hardly be seen in the Middle Saint Academy anymore.

He was in seclusion in his own small courtyard, trying to break through to the next realm. Then, he was stuck at the peak of the Yuan Board.

Xuan Yi, on the other hand, was in the middle stage of the cult master realm. His strength had already reached the Sage realm.

As the saying goes, ‘What you obtain, you must pay for.’ As the sect leader realm reached perfection, Xuan Yi was only one step away from breaking through to the Sage realm.

As the saying goes, ‘one step away from the Sage realm’. However, no matter how hard they tried, they were unable to break through.

After two months of seclusion, Xuan Yi had no choice but to come out.

Other than the condensed spiritual energy in his body, his cultivation base was still stuck in the same spot. If he unleashed his full power, he could clearly sense that Xuan Yi’s aura was about to be pierced through. In fact, it was even stronger than Wu Wentian’s.

However, there seemed to be a layer of barrier blocking Xuan Yi’s advancement.

Since Xuan Yi’s hard work was fruitless, he might as well come out for a stroll.

Currently, he was the vice-principal of the refined Saint Academy. In some of the academies, the teachers didn’t have the authority to enter. To Xuan Yi, he could lie on his back wherever he pleased.

After staying here for a few days, Xuan Yi was unable to find a way to break through. Hence, he continued to come out for a stroll.

He went to the headmaster’s office.

The headmaster of the refined Saint Academy was at the peak of the Sage realm. He was a powerhouse in the refined Saint Academy. Regardless of realm or combat strength, the headmaster was above Xuan Yi.

Currently, Xuan Yi’s combat strength was only close to the peak of the Sage realm. He had not truly reached it.

In Xuan Yi’s opinion, such a veteran sage powerhouse should have his own insights on breaking through. Perhaps he could see through his problems?

“Xuan Yi, don’t be anxious.”

The dean was indeed an old man from the Middle Saint Academy. He could be said to be a walking treasure.

He glanced at Xuan Yi with a smile at the corner of his eyes and shook his head slightly.

“Your cultivation has reached a certain level. Logically speaking, it should be a natural process for you to break through to the Sage realm. However, you have been bitterly cultivating for such a long time and you still haven’t broken through. What’s the reason?”

The principal stroked his pure white beard, intending to point out the outstanding genius that he had thought highly of, to the point that he had once thought of as a genius of Middle Saint Academy.

“What is the reason for this?”

He looked at the principal, not expecting that the principal would really be able to give him some advice.

“You are too anxious.”

The principal shook his head, and with a profound look in his eyes, he stared fixedly at Xuan Yi, revealing the secrets of the heavens with a single sentence.

“At this realm, it doesn’t just depend on the accumulation of one’s cultivation. It also depends on one’s state of mind. The more anxious you are, just like how this cup moves, the harder it will be for you to fill it with water. If there are too many of them, it seems like there are too few of them. Since you aren’t even satisfied with the water, how can you possibly overflow it and successfully achieve a breakthrough?”

Boom!

Like a powerful gust of wind, it crashed into Xuan Yi’s mind.

As the saying goes, when things reach the extreme, they will eventually reverse. The problem was still the pill he had consumed earlier.

The top-tier pill was too powerful, directly sending Xuan Yi to the cult master realm. Adding on the origin enhancing pill, it allowed Xuan Yi sword to become infinitely close to the Sage realm. However, at the same time, his state of mind was still lacking.

This wasn’t something that the pill could make up for.

“Let me give you a suggestion. Go out for a walk and take a look at this world. There is still a long life ahead of you. Don’t be in a hurry.”

As the principal spoke, he picked up a cup of farewell tea, blew on it leisurely, and took a sip.

“As expected of the principal. I understand now. I’ll be going out in a while to take a look around this world and stop to take a look.”

The intuition of a cult master realm expert allowed Xuan Yi to feel that the lack in his state of mind could be made up for by comprehending this world!

After saying that, Xuan Yi cupped his hands and left.

In the principal’s office, the principal watched Xuan Yi leave and put down his teacup with a complicated look in his eyes.

Xuan Yi was a complete worry of happiness. Throughout the entire South continent, how many people in their twenties were already prepared to break through to the Sage realm?

Only Xuan Yi was so heaven-defying that it was difficult to describe. It was one thing for his strength to far exceed a few realms, but now he was actually going to break through to the Sage realm?

This brat, why was he in such a hurry all day long?

Back then, the principal was only in his twenties and was only at the enforcement realm.

The principal shook his head and smiled bitterly. If Xuan Yi were to return after leaving, his strength would probably break through to another realm. At that time, he might be able to compete with him.

He was truly abnormal!

At this moment, he was in no hurry to tear apart the space as he walked out. He was thinking that he should head to that domain to cultivate his state of mind.

With this walk, he arrived at the entrance of the Middle Saint Academy.

Buzz!

A sharp aura pointed at Xuan Yi. The aura was filled with disdain, as if no one in the world could withstand its sharpness. At this moment, it let out a buzz sound and shattered space.

Xuan Yi frowned slightly. He woke up from his thoughts and looked over.

He saw a man holding a long sword in front of him. He had an interesting expression on his face as he stared fixedly at Xuan Yi.

He was originally half-squatting and used his hand to touch the ravine that Xuan Yi had made earlier.

The more he touched it, the happier he became.

This person was Yang Wudao, who was known as the Divine Sword. His combat strength was at the middle stage of the Sage realm. At this moment, he could sense the power that was not weaker than the middle stage of the Sage realm from the sword mark left by Xuan Yi.

“I can’t believe that the South continent finally has someone that I can look at. I see that you are dressed in white, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. You are holding a long sword and your aura is at the peak of the cult master realm. I think you are Xuan Yi, who is known as the number one on the Yuan Board, right?”

Yang Wudao’s eyes shone brightly as he sized up Xuan Yi from top to bottom. The corners of his mouth curled up into a confident smile.

“I can see the battle strength of the middle stage of the Sage realm from your sword scar. Not bad.”

He nodded slightly as if he was very satisfied.

“I originally thought that I would not be able to meet another person who could fight in the South Province. I did not expect that there would be Xuan Yi. To be able to erupt with the strength of the middle stage of the Sage realm in the South Province, you are considered very good.”

Yang Wudao expressed his admiration and affirmation towards Xuan Yi.

Behind him, a bunch of onlookers were astonished.

No wonder Xuan Yi was able to defeat Dao Zheng with a single strike. So he already had the battle prowess of the intermediate stage of the Sage state?

However, there were even more people who came to a realisation. Looking at Yang Wudao’s fearless expression, it was likely that he would be able to defeat the intermediate stage of the Sage state.

There were so many experts on the Yuan Board, but none of them could force Yang Wudao to use his second move.

Perhaps, Yang Wudao’s strength was even stronger than a mid-stage sage.

When everyone thought of this, they immediately became worried.

Xuan Yi was ranked in the South Bright Tower and was the number one person in the South continent’s Sect Master Realm. If even he wasn’t a match for him, didn’t that mean that the huge South continent’s Sect Master Realm expert was actually pressed to the ground by a person from the North continent?

Xuan Yi was a little angry after his train of thought was interrupted. He frowned at Yang Wudao and heard him talking about the South continent and the North continent.

Xuan Yi swept his gaze and saw some clues from Yang Wudao’s actions.

“Judging my strength from my sword scar?”

Xuan Yi shook his head and smiled.

When he slashed with his sword, he had held back a little.

Dao Zheng was after all a cult master genius of the South continent, and he just wanted to challenge him.
