214. Chapter 214 The Saint Will Come Out, Let The Whole World Celebrate!
After the calamity caused by the demons, the various countries and cities under the Federation's jurisdiction have temporarily returned to peace. However, while there is no trouble within the cities, the areas outside the cities have become more dangerous due to the arrival of many demons at the Golden Body and Grandmaster levels.
The cross-city transportation that had just started to improve has once again returned to its original state. If it weren't for the fact that spiritual energy phones can still be used normally, it is likely that communication between major cities would be cut off again.
However, it is also because of this that the human martial artists living in adversity have become more diligent and hardworking, making rapid progress in their overall strength. After all, without the loss of the Great Dao's spiritual resonance, the fortune of the empire has also been consolidated.
Every human living under the Federation's protection has received different levels of fortune blessings.
On the third day after the disaster.
The sixty-five ancient sects once again made their voices heard, recruiting disciples worldwide. This time, they are not looking at cultivation level, but rather talent and fortune. Anyone who meets the requirements, even ordinary residents without any cultivation, will be recruited as inner disciples or even true disciples.
Because they had already made a covenant with Liu Zimo beforehand, the Federation government did not interfere too much this time, allowing these ancient sects to develop on their own.
However, it was because of the incident where these ancient sects united and threatened Liu Zimo, which became widely known and damaged their reputation. As a result, the recruitment plans of these ancient sects did not go as smoothly as expected.
At least, there are few martial artists at the Golden Body level and above in the various countries and cities who responded.
In the military arsenal of the Military Affairs Department, there are also martial arts inheritances from ancient sects, and not just one.
Even if they want to improve themselves, there is no need to go to those ancient sects that they know nothing about.
So, it took more than a month.
Except for Xian'ao Island, the other sixty-four ancient sects have recruited quite a few disciples, but most of them are mediocre or have impure intentions.
All the sects are headache-inducing and regretful about this.
If they had known this earlier, why did they have to become enemies with Liu Zimo and ruin the reputation of all their sects within the human dynasty?
The Heavenly Origin True Person of the Tai Chu Dao Sect was once again used as a scapegoat and cursed by countless sect disciples.
Only Xian'ao Island, as a spiritual beast sect, recruited mostly spirit beasts with awakened intelligence or surviving ancient spirit beasts. It has become the sect among the sixty-five ancient sects that has gained the most.
After all, they have almost no demand for human disciples and do not care whether they can recruit more human disciples.
In just one week.
Xian'ao Island successfully recruited and gathered more than sixty disciples who met the requirements.
After hearing the report from Yao Lingling, Liu Zimo specifically went to Xian'ao Island again and bound all these potential demons and spirit beasts.
At this point, all his "good brothers" and "good sisters" are at full capacity.
The number of bound spirit beasts has also skyrocketed to seventy-two.
Now, even if he does nothing every day, he will continuously gain martial arts cultivation and spiritual power through the "Heaven-stealing" ability flowing into his body.
After all, these "good brothers" and "good sisters" he later bound are all extraordinary ancient cultivators.
Even if they don't consume any heavenly treasures, the insights they gain from their daily cultivation alone are a considerable opportunity and benefit.
Therefore, after the fourth calamity, Liu Zimo chose to seclude himself and rarely leave Luo Zhou City unless necessary.
That's how it is.
Half a year has passed.
All sixty-five ancient sects have been keeping to themselves and causing no trouble.
Meanwhile, the Human Federation has become increasingly powerful due to the continuous development of psychic technology and the widespread dissemination of ancient cultivation methods.
There is an endless stream of Martial Artists in the Golden Body Realm and the Grandmaster Realm, making them the backbone of the entire federation.
In addition to the Wise Sage, Hong Yuxun, and Zhang Zhenren, there are now also Lou Yuchen, the Great Wise Master, and Yi Shundao.
For a while, the entire federal government is thriving and unstoppable.
Under the leadership of the four major pillar nations of Daxia, the federated countries are gradually coming together and consolidating like never before.
Correspondingly,
As the martial arts advisor to the federal government and the martial arts god and savior in the hearts of all human beings in the federation,
Even if Liu Zimo does nothing, the imperial fortune on his body continues to grow stronger and more intense.
Under the blessing of this imperial fortune, Liu Zimo's cultivation techniques and understanding of the Great Dao are both progressing smoothly and with twice the result and half the effort.
In this situation, Liu Zimo, who is in seclusion, is making rapid progress in his cultivation every day.
After half a year of accumulation, he is increasingly feeling the limits of his cultivation bottleneck.
"At most another half a year, I will definitely break through and become a Saint, transcending in one fell swoop!"
On this day, Liu Zimo felt a connection and woke up from his meditation, murmuring to himself.
He has already comprehended and accumulated a total of eighty-one complete versions of the Great Dao's principles.
His martial arts cultivation and soul cultivation have also advanced by more than fifty times that of a normal top-tier quasi-Saint!
Now, even if he were to face the former Demon Lord Wankun and the Heavenly Origin True Man again,
Even without using sacred artifacts or the [Instant Movement Technique], Liu Zimo is confident that he can easily kill them with a single move.
If no Saints appear, no one in this realm can compete with him anymore!
Even if the sixty-five ancient sects join forces, they will be helpless against him!
"Master, you're finally awake!"
Sensing Liu Zimo's soul awakening, Yao Lingling quickly transmitted her voice and reported,
"Master, something big is happening!"
"In the past few days, Feng Jiuer from Xian'ao Island, Wu Dao Child from Tian Di Academy, and Yao Zhaoyi from the Seven Kills Sect have all felt a disturbance in their minds, as if they sensed the aura of their respective sect's ancestors!"
"They all say that the Great Dao is approaching and the Saints will return!"
"This world is about to change!"
Oh?
Liu Zimo raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
Indeed, the fluctuations in the Great Dao have been extremely active recently. The reason he suddenly woke up from his meditation was also due to the continuous shaking caused by the fluctuations of the principles.
However, he did not expect that these fluctuations would be related to the imminent return of the Saints.
In fact, half a year ago, when these ancient sects first appeared in this world, they mentioned the return of the Saints more than once.
But at that time, he didn't pay much attention to it.
He thought that these ancient cultivators were just commemorating their ancestors and paying tribute to the Saints.
And the so-called return of the Saints was nothing more than a vague idea and expectation.
After all, if those Saints really had spirits,
How could they remain silent for hundreds of thousands of years and allow the monsters from the Illusory Demon Realm to invade and slaughter the people of this realm without any concern?
But now, sensing the strange and turbulent fluctuations of the Great Dao in this realm, and hearing about the abnormal behavior of the leaders of the major sects mentioned by Yao Lingling,
Doubts also arose in Liu Zimo's mind.
Could it be that all those rumors about the return of the saints are actually true?
This is definitely not good news for Liu Zimo.
After all, he had worked so hard to reach the top cultivation level in the world.
But now, just two days after celebrating his achievement, a group of even more powerful experts are about to return to the world.
What's worse is that among these experts, there are three who have a deep grudge against him. How can he be happy about that?
You see, the previous Fire Cloud Palace, Netherworld Hall, and Primordial Daoist Sect were all destroyed by him, their gates and legacies wiped out.
If their ancestors were to return and find their gates destroyed, their legacies gone, and their core teachings scattered throughout the entire human federation like cabbage leaves, Liu Zimo knows without a doubt that those three saints will come looking for him.
The realm of the saints! Transcending the mundane, embodying the laws, invincible to mortals!
An unprecedented sense of crisis arises in Liu Zimo's heart.
Even though his cultivation strength has improved significantly compared to six months ago, he still doesn't have much confidence in facing the true saints.
Fortunately, he only destroyed the legacies of three ancient sects, not all sixty-eight of them.
Otherwise, if all sixty-eight saints were to return at the same time, even if he managed to break through to the saint realm by some stroke of luck, his fate would only be to be beaten to death by the group.
While he was contemplating, Liu Zimo's mind suddenly shook, and he looked up at the empty sky above his head.
The laws trembled, and holy light filled the sky!
Although it was nighttime, the entire sky had been rendered as bright as day!
Completely different from the celestial phenomena that appeared during the calamity of the demons.
This time, the celestial phenomena were grand and majestic, accompanied by the laws, shining brightly upon the world.
Instead of feeling anxious and oppressed, all the creatures in this realm were excited and jubilant, with a genuine sense of joy and happiness emanating from their hearts and souls.
"The saints are about to appear, and the whole world celebrates together!"
These eight words suddenly appeared in Liu Zimo's mind, and his expression instantly became serious.
He never expected that the signs would appear so soon!
Does this mean that a saint is about to return to the world?
With a slight thought, Liu Zimo discovered that along with the manifestation of the celestial phenomena, the holy light descended.
The thousands of demons gathered outside the city were trembling and bowing their heads in reverence.
Under the illumination of the holy light, some low-level demons in the Golden Body realm even burst into pieces!
"The power of the saints is truly terrifying!"
Seeing this scene outside the city, Yao Lingling couldn't help but sigh softly.
"All these extraterrestrial demons that don't belong to this realm are finished!"
"When the saints of this realm appear, they will immediately exterminate all the creatures that don't belong here!"
"Unless the Devouring Spirit Ancestor or the Demon Lord arrives in time, no one can save them!"
Liu Zimo nodded slightly upon hearing this.
This is actually not bad!
At least, with the return of the saints, the problem of the demon calamity on Earth can be resolved immediately.
The end of the world, the human federation can quickly return to its normal and peaceful way of life, no longer living in fear and uncertainty!
"I just don't know whether these saints will return simultaneously or one after another."
Pfft~!
Just as Liu Zimo was speculating about the specific way the saints would return, the demon Lingling, who had been sitting on his shoulder, suddenly spewed a mouthful of blood without any warning.
"Not good!"
Lingling screamed in horror,
"All the spiritual nets and avatars I left in Feng Jiuer's sea of consciousness have been erased by someone!"
"It must be the saints who took action. Otherwise, besides the master, no one can erase my spiritual avatars!"
"Master, save me! I seem to have been locked onto by a strand of holy intent!"
As if sensing something, Lingling exclaimed in shock, his expression changing drastically, and without hesitation, he directly dove into Liu Zimo's sea of consciousness.
The instinct to survive told it that hiding in the master's sea of consciousness was its only chance of survival!
Swish!
Before Liu Zimo could react, he sensed a strand of white spiritual light suddenly descending without any warning, and it directly entered his sea of consciousness space without any hindrance.
After discovering Lingling's trace, the white light shot like an arrow, directly towards Lingling's true body.
"Master, save me!"
Lingling's mind trembled, never expecting that this strand of holy intent would actually chase into the master's sea of consciousness.
Seeing that there was nowhere to hide or escape, the little lobster couldn't help but cry out for help.
Now, only the master could save it!
Seeing this, Liu Zimo's mind moved, and the power of the eighty-one great Dao laws lurking in his sea of consciousness surged out instantly.
Swish!
The laws formed a net, completely enveloping the white holy intent that was aimed at Lingling.
Boom!
The holy intent erupted, causing a huge energy fluctuation that shook Liu Zimo's entire sea of consciousness.
However, the net of laws remained unaffected, not even a single thread was moved, and it did not let any of the energy released by the holy intent escape.
Correspondingly, Lingling, who was protected behind the net of laws, naturally did not suffer any harm. It was only shaken so much that it felt a little dizzy.
"Thank you, master!"
"Master is mighty!"
Lingling, who had survived the disaster, couldn't help but cheer and flatter the master out of habit.
It was really dangerous just now!
If the master had been a little slower, it would have truly met its end here today!
This is the true power of a saint. Even though it was just a strand of holy intent casually released by a saint, it was absolutely something that an ordinary quasi-saint could not resist.
Although the devouring talent of their devouring spirit insect clan was heaven-defying, they had no way to deal with a true saint unless they could also advance to the saint realm like the Devouring Spirit Ancestor.
Therefore, the master is truly a monster among monsters. With the strength of the quasi-saint realm, he can easily block the attacks of a saint's divine sense!
This insect truly has a discerning eye and has not followed the wrong person!
Lingling sighed in its heart.
At the same time, it was also grateful that its sixth sense was indeed correct. Only by escaping into the master's sea of consciousness space did it have a chance to survive!
"Disciple Feng Jiuer, along with all the disciples of Xian'ao Island, respectfully welcome the return of the Holy Lord!"
At this moment, the voice of Feng Jiuer, the island master of Xian'ao Island, resounded mysteriously in the sky above the entire earthly realm. (End of this chapter)
