# Chapter 1414: Another Great World Destroyed
With the Sacred Jade Waist Token, Zhang Ruochen was able to easily meet a Sacred Soul Doppelganger of Manjian Great Saint, and then told him about his own situation.
Manjian Great Saint's Sacred Soul Doppelganger was several hundred zhang tall, as if condensed from a cloud of Saint Qi, and the aura it emitted was as terrifying as the original body itself.
After listening to Zhang Ruochen's account, Manjian Great Saint revealed a strange expression and said, "You didn't have a master before?"
"I did. But I haven't seen my master for a long time, and I've always been self-taught," Zhang Ruochen said.
"I see."
Manjian Great Saint understood the situation and said, "You may not know that after a Saint's realm surpasses the Thorough Ground Realm, more of the cultivation will focus on Sacred Dao Rules."
"The Heaven-Through Realm is about rules condensing into form."
"The True Realm is about transforming the void into reality."
"The Ultimate Realm is about reaching ultimate truth and extremity."
Zhang Ruochen narrowed his eyes, revealing a puzzled expression.
The things Manjian Great Saint spoke of were things he had never heard before, so he felt somewhat unfamiliar.
Manjian Great Saint saw that Zhang Ruochen seemed unclear about the mysteries of the three realms, so he explained in an easy-to-understand way: "The Sacred Dao Rules you previously comprehended were actually formless, just lines of rules. Now, you must condense those rule lines into a shape."
"For example, if you condense the Sacred Dao Rules within your body into a tower shape, you can immediately break through to the Heaven-Through Realm. The tower-shaped Sacred Dao Rules would be called your Heaven-Through Tower."
"If you condense the Sacred Dao Rules into a sword shape, it would be a Heaven-Through Sword."
Zhang Ruochen immediately understood and said, "So that's how it is. But the Sacred Dao Rules have already merged with the Sacred Soul and Sacred Source, so how can they be condensed into a shape?"
Manjian Great Saint laughed and said, "Rule condensation into form actually occurs within the Sacred Soul and Sacred Source."
Zhang Ruochen roughly understood the method to break through to the Heaven-Through Realm, then asked, "What does transforming the void into reality mean?"
Manjian Great Saint continued to explain, "Even if your rules condense into form and you reach the Heaven-Through Realm, the rules are still in a void state. You must transform the void rules into rules that truly exist. In this way, you reach the True Realm and can be called a True Saint."
Zhang Ruochen said, "And reaching ultimate truth and extremity?"
"Very simple. It means continuously solidifying the Sacred Dao Rules, making them extremely firm, as if forged from Sacred Iron and indestructible. When you reach that level, you break through to the Ultimate Realm and can be considered an Ultimate Saint."
Zhang Ruochen had a feeling of sudden enlightenment. He memorized the three phrases: "rules condense into form," "transform void into reality," and "reach ultimate truth and extremity." Then, clasping his hands together, he bowed deeply to Manjian Great Saint and said, "Thank you for the guidance, Great Saint."
"It's nothing. Since Lady Moon God has asked you to cultivate under me, I naturally will tell you everything I know without reservation. By the way..."
Manjian Great Saint seemed to remember something and added, "If you want to assault the Heaven-Through Realm, there is a shortcut you can take."
"What shortcut?" Zhang Ruochen quickly asked.
Manjian Great Saint said, "In the Crimson Dragon Sacred Land, there is a Heaven-Through Cave Heaven, a cultivation treasure land left behind by a great figure. Cultivating inside the Heaven-Through Cave Heaven makes it easier for rules to condense into form, which should save you a lot of time."
Zhang Ruochen bowed again to Manjian Great Saint, then walked out of the Crimson Dragon Sacred Hall.
"I'm going to go into seclusion in the Crimson Dragon Sacred Land to assault the Heaven-Through Realm. You return to the Yuanxu Peak Sacred Land first."
Zhang Ruochen gave Xiao Hei these instructions, then followed a Half-Saint toward the Heaven-Through Cave Heaven.
"For the sake of cultivation, he doesn't want to waste even a moment. He's almost becoming a martial arts fanatic."
Xiao Hei stared at Zhang Ruochen's retreating figure, shook his big furry head, spread his wings, and returned to the Yuanxu Peak Sacred Land.
Deep within the Crimson Dragon Sacred Hall was a Sacred Stone island floating in midair. That was Manjian Great Saint's cultivation ground.
In the Kunlun Realm, Sacred Stones were extremely rare treasures, each worth a fortune and containing extremely rich Saint Qi.
But that island was entirely condensed from Sacred Stones. If a Great Saint from the Kunlun Realm saw it, they would surely feel deeply ashamed. Compared to Manjian Great Saint, they were all paupers.
At this moment, Manjian Great Saint's true body was sitting on the Sacred Stone island, sharing a pot of Sacred Wine with another Great Saint of the Guanghan Realm, Jiuling Great Saint.
Jiuling Great Saint's true body was not human but a Jiuling Divine Bird, possessing very powerful Divine Beast bloodline. He was one of the Great Saints in the Guanghan Realm with the greatest chance of assaulting the Divine Realm.
At this moment, Jiuling Great Saint had transformed into an old man with crane-white hair and a childlike face, wearing a wide Sacred Robe embroidered with patterns of nine kinds of spirit birds.
Jiuling Great Saint appeared quite aged, but the eyes beneath his white eyebrows were filled with sharp light, as if a single glance could pierce through heaven and earth.
Jiuling Great Saint stroked his beard and said, "Is he the Saint that Lady Moon God brought back?"
"That's right."
Manjian Great Saint looked at Jiuling Great Saint and revealed a look of sudden realization, saying, "I understand now. You, Jiuling Old Ancestor, rarely visit the Crimson Dragon Sacred Domain even once in several hundred years. When you came to visit today, I thought you came to discuss swordsmanship, but I didn't expect you wanted to see him."
"A Saint who can gain Lady Moon God's favor—who wouldn't be curious?" Jiuling Great Saint said with a smile.
Behind Jiuling Great Saint stood a girl in green clothes with a graceful figure. Her delicate body was enveloped within circles of Sacred Light, appearing exceptionally noble and pure, giving off an unapproachable feeling.
This girl was named Su Qingling, Jiuling Great Saint's granddaughter. She was one of the most outstanding proud daughters of heaven in the entire Guanghan Realm and one of the few figures who could enter the "Sacred Merit Ranking" at the True Saint Realm.
Of course, it was the Guanghan Realm's Sacred Merit Ranking.
A smile appeared on Su Qingling's face, and she didn't hide her contempt for Zhang Ruochen at all, saying, "He doesn't even know how to assault the Heaven-Through Realm. He's completely a greenhorn. I really don't understand why the supreme Lady Moon God would favor him."
Jiuling Great Saint was very familiar with his granddaughter's personality. This little girl had very high standards. Among all the Saints in the entire Guanghan Realm, there were no more than five figures worthy of her second glance.
Jiuling Great Saint said, "Qing girl, that little fellow is no greenhorn. He has already achieved physical sanctification, and his strength is not weak."
Su Qingling clearly didn't think physical sanctification was that impressive. She pursed her rosy little lips and said, "So what if he achieved physical sanctification? Among the Saints of the Guanghan Realm, aren't there at least thirty or forty living beings who have cultivated to physical sanctification?"
Manjian Great Saint said, "Physical sanctification can only be considered excellent, not enough to catch Lady Moon God's divine eye. But what if we add four Supreme Extreme Realms and the Five Elements Chaos Body?"
This time, Su Qingling could no longer remain calm. A look of surprise appeared in her cyan Sacred Eyes, and she said, "He actually possesses the Supreme Perfect Physique?"
"That's right, it's the Supreme Perfect Physique," Manjian Great Saint said.
Jiuling Great Saint stroked his chin and laughed, "I didn't look carefully just now. I didn't expect him to have a Supreme Perfect Physique."
The so-called Supreme Perfect Physique meant cultivating the body to the most perfect and extreme level. To reach that level, three conditions had to be met:
First, physical sanctification.
Second, in the four realms of martial arts, each realm must reach the Supreme Extreme Realm.
Third, one must possess one of the strongest physiques.
The True God Body, Five Elements Chaos Body, and Thousand Bone Physique were all among the strongest physiques. Of course, the strongest physiques were not limited to these three. According to records in the Heavenly Court Realm, a total of ten strongest physiques had appeared.
Only by meeting the above three conditions could one be called a Supreme Perfect Physique. At the same realm, one would possess supreme and unmatched strength, crushing all opponents.
Su Qingling said, "Even Wu Hao, who ranks first on the Guanghan Realm's Sacred Merit Ranking, only has a Perfect Physique. He's still one step away from the Supreme Perfect Physique."
Behind Manjian Great Saint stood a young man named Bu Ji, who was Manjian Great Saint's personal disciple.
Earlier, Bu Ji's gaze had been fixed on Su Qingling with an infatuated expression.
It wasn't until he heard the name "Wu Hao" that Bu Ji woke up, a fierce battle intent flashing in his eyes, and said, "Qingling little sister, rest assured. Even if Wu Hao has a Perfect Physique, I will definitely be able to defeat him."
Su Qingling rolled her eyes and said, "Where is your head? We're talking about that guy with the Supreme Perfect Physique. If you have the ability, go defeat him."
"Who? Who has the Supreme Perfect Physique? I'll go defeat him right now." Bu Ji clenched his fists, opening all one hundred and forty-four acupoints on his body, releasing a violent wave of Sacred Dao fluctuations.
This person seemed somewhat simple-minded but was a proud son of heaven who had achieved physical sanctification.
Manjian Great Saint's face showed a bitter smile, and he sighed.
Jiuling Great Saint's expression turned serious, and he said, "You two must remember: even if the opponent's physique is stronger, it doesn't mean they are invincible. A person's strength is only partly determined by their physique. If you can cultivate powerful Sacred Arts or gain an advantage in Sacred Dao Rules, you can still defeat them."
Su Qingling pretended to nod, but her cyan Sacred Eyes were fixed on the direction of the Heaven-Through Cave Heaven, revealing a eager expression. She very much wanted to know if the Supreme Perfect Physique was really as powerful as legend said.
Manjian Great Saint and Jiuling Great Saint began discussing another major matter.
Jiuling Great Saint's expression turned serious, and he said, "It is said that the Zuling Realm battlefield in the Western Universe has almost been completely shattered. All living beings have died, and even that god of the Zuling Realm has fallen in battle. Another great world has been destroyed by the Hell Realm. The next battlefield will definitely be chosen from among our seven Shatuo realms. I hope it won't be the Guanghan Realm."
Manjian Great Saint's expression also dimmed, and he said, "Once a great world is chosen as a battlefield, it is destined to be destroyed. Originally, in the Shatuo Heaven Domain, our Guanghan Realm was the weakest and most likely to become a sacrifice. Now there is a glimmer of hope, after all, the Kunlun Realm is even weaker than us."
"Thirty years ago, wasn't the Zuling Realm also one of the seven Shatuo realms? In just thirty years, a glorious and prosperous great world was shattered into dust."
Jiuling Great Saint said bitterly, "I suspect that soon, the Seven Realms Merit War will begin, formally selecting the great world with the least potential to become the new battlefield against the Hell Realm. At that time, we must fight with all our might, absolutely cannot allow the Guanghan Realm to become the next Zuling Realm. Fight for survival, fight so that our descendants won't be enslaved."
