490: Chapter 490: Too Weak

"Boom!"

The time required to undergo the Great Saint Tribulation is extremely long; it cannot be completed in just a day or two!

During this period, the one undergoing the tribulation must endure the baptism of the Lightning Tribulation and withstand the test given to them by the Heavenly Dao!

If they succeed, everything will be well, and they will immediately attain the Great Saint Realm, roaming freely across the four seas and eight directions, and traversing the Three Thousand Divine Continents; however, if they fail, everything will vanish into smoke, and they will perish with their Dao dissipated!

"This Qianshan Sage is a bit off; there is Devilish Qi on him, and he seems to have cultivated some Demonic Path Cultivation Technique!"

While Qianshan Sage was undergoing the tribulation, strands of Devilish Qi emanated from his body, shocking everyone present who was watching!

One must know that the previous Qianshan Sage cultivated orthodox profound arts; he appeared to be filled with Immortal Qi and looked like a righteous person!

Yet now, Devilish Qi was actually emerging from this elderly man who once had the bearing of an immortal, and he had already fallen into the Demonic Path; how could they not be shocked?

However, there are many Demonic Path Cultivation Techniques in this world, and although they are not well-liked, they still have significant influence, and there are not a few who Cultivate them.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, sky-filling Devilish Qi emanated from Qianshan Sage, and immediately after, the white robes on Qianshan Sage turned blood-red!

Then, his aged body gradually recovered its youth, transforming into the appearance of a middle-aged man.

The sky-filling Lightning Tribulation passed through the Devilish Qi and landed on Qianshan Sage, making the Aura on his body even more powerful!

"White robes stained with blood, born from transforming into a demon, shedding the old body; from this moment on, there is one less Qianshan Sage in this world, and one more Qianshan Demon Sage!"

The crowd watching at the scene sighed and said softly!

This long Lightning Tribulation lasted for several more days before it ended.

After finishing the Lightning Tribulation, Qianshan Sage's terrifying figure stood in the Void Realm, and a terrifying Aura spread from his body, causing all the Saints present to feel shocked!

There is a chasm between the Saint Realm and the Great Saint Realm; once crossed, one's combat power increases greatly, which can be seen just from their Aura!

After finishing the Lightning Tribulation, Qianshan Sage glanced around, then ignored everyone present, said not a word, tore through the Void Realm, and disappeared from where he stood!

"Sigh! It seems that the Southwest Ninety-Six Divine Continents will become lively again; I wonder how bloodthirsty this Qianshan Sage is?"

Qin Xiao muttered to himself while watching the back of the disappearing Qianshan Sage; if a Great Saint who had entered the Demonic Path were to make a major move, many factions would not be able to handle it!

However, none of this had much to do with him, and given his strength, he did not need to fear the other party too much!

If it were not for the fact that the timing was wrong, and that the other party's strength was not weak, he would have already taken action to suppress the other party and seize the four Bronze Ancient Halls in their hands!

With the departure of Qianshan Sage, the commotion caused by his tribulation to become a Great Saint did not dissipate; instead, its influence expanded!

Within the Three Thousand Divine Continents, countless factions heard this news, and their reactions were not uniform!

A Demon Sage at the Great Saint Realm is absolutely the top combat power in the Three Thousand Divine Continents in this era where those in the Quasi-Emperor Realm do not emerge.

Moreover, this Great Saint is a lone wolf, which makes it even more terrifying!

No matter where he intends to establish a faction, it will cause a shock to the factions in that region and affect the landscape within the Three Thousand Divine Continents!

After watching Qianshan Sage undergo the tribulation, Qin Xiao returned to the Taigu Huang Palace!

As soon as he returned, Empress Tantai Xuan and several imperial concubines immediately came to greet him and surrounded him.

"Your Majesty, you have returned. Did you gain anything from watching Qianshan Sage undergo the tribulation this time?" Tantai Xuan looked at Qin Xiao with a gentle face, and the other concubines also chimed in.

"The gains were great; it was a trip worth taking!"

Qin Xiao smiled and replied, telling them the process of watching Qianshan Sage undergo the tribulation.

Upon learning that this newly born Great Saint was not a kind person, Tantai Xuan and the several concubines could not help but frown.

"Your Majesty, this Qianshan Sage has already entered the Demonic Path. I am afraid that once his Realm stabilizes, he will cause quite a bit of trouble. We need to make preparations early," Tantai Xuan said.

Qin Xiao nodded in agreement. Qianshan Sage was a person from Qing Province, and his previous dojo was also established in Qing Province. Now that he had passed the Great Saint Tribulation, no one knew what his plans were!

If he intended to establish a faction, it was very likely he would start from Qing Province, and most of the territory in Qing Province was already under the control of his Taigu Dynasty. If the other party were to establish a faction in Qing Province, his Taigu Dynasty and the Divine Jin Dynasty would definitely bear the brunt of it!

Of course, it was also possible that the other party might leave the Southwest Ninety-Six Divine Continents, as not everyone had the idea of establishing a faction!

Just like Qin Xiao, for example; he did not have the idea of establishing a faction, but instead chose to occupy the magpie's nest and hide in the Taigu Dynasty to enjoy himself!

"Empress, you have been stuck at the Peak of the Half-Saint Realm for many years; your accumulation should be enough by now, right? Have you sensed the opportunity for a Breakthrough yet?"

Qin Xiao turned his head to look at Tantai Xuan and asked softly!

There is a huge chasm between the Half-Saint Realm and the Saint Realm; among one hundred Martial Artists at the Peak of the Half-Saint Realm, it is already very good if one can break through!

Among the remaining ninety-nine, more than half will be stuck at this level, unable to break through no matter how hard they try, until their Lifespan is exhausted!

A small half will fail the Breakthrough and die in the Lightning Tribulation.

Tantai Xuan had reached the Peak of the Half-Saint Realm for thousands of years, but she had never been able to break through, firmly stuck at this Realm, unable to sense the opportunity for a Breakthrough!

"Not yet!" Tantai Xuan shook her head upon hearing this, a look of disappointment appearing on her face. "Perhaps I might be stuck at this Realm for the rest of my life!"

Tantai Xuan was also a famous Genius in the past, breaking through to the Peak of the Half-Saint Realm at a young age; otherwise, she would not have been chosen by the Ancient Emperor to become the Empress directly!

However, it was a pity that ever since she broke through to the Peak of the Half-Saint Realm, she had been firmly stuck at this Realm, unable to make any progress, which had long since worn away all her pride!

"Rest assured, you will definitely be able to break through; I will help you break through!"

Qin Xiao wrapped his arm around Tantai Xuan's slender waist, took her into his arms, and consoled her softly!

"Look, what is this? Take it back, refine and contemplate it carefully, and see if you can find the opportunity to break through to the Saint Realm!"

Qin Xiao directly took out the remaining Heavenly Wizard Origin and handed it to Tantai Xuan. This Origin had been in his hands for a long time, and he had long since fully comprehended it; it was of little use to him now, so it was just right to take it out to help Tantai Xuan.

This Empress was peerless in beauty and had a perfect figure, with which he was very satisfied; however, there was one pity, which was that she was only in the Half-Saint Realm, and her physique was not strong enough to withstand his conquests!

Every time, she could not satisfy him, and he needed to find extra help, so Qin Xiao intended to help her break through to the Saint Realm to make her physique stronger.
