Chapter 315: Chapter 238 Semi-Saint_2
Yuhua Saint Master, though he did not want to confront a Saint face-to-face, if a Saint really were to come knocking, Yuhua Sacred Land was not afraid.
As a top power that had produced a Great Saint thirty thousand years ago, the foundation of Yuhua Sacred Land was very strong.
After all, compared to other top powers that had produced Great Saints, the biggest advantage of Yuhua Sacred Land was that the Great Saint had emerged only thirty thousand years ago.
Thirty thousand years.
That was not enough time to fully use up all the heritage left by the Great Saint.
By comparison.
Some top powers that had produced Strong Saints in the Great Saint Realm tens of thousands of years ago had already almost exhausted their heritage, with only Great Saint Weapons maintaining their status.
Such forces.
Naturally, could not be compared to Yuhua Sacred Land.
However, nothing is absolute, there are some ancient powers that can maintain their former glory, with Saints and even Great Saints emerging every few eras.
But such high-level forces, throughout the whole Eastern Domain and even the entire Ancient Desolate World, were very few.
Therefore.
Yuhua Sacred Land indeed had the capital to be proud.
In the eyes of the Yuhua Saint Master, the Holy Land did not wish to move against a Saint, but it definitely would not fear a Saint.
——
Guiyuan Dynasty.
Now, the court was enveloped in a gloom.
Not to mention the hundred thousand Divine Emperor Army buried in the Nine States, even the Semi-Saint Artifact that went with them was lost in Nine States, which was undoubtedly a cataclysmic blow to the Guiyuan Dynasty.
Created by a Semi-Saint ten thousand years ago, the greatest figures the Guiyuan Dynasty had produced in those ten thousand years were Semi-Saints.
Throughout.
Three Semi-Saints had emerged from the Guiyuan Dynasty.
Alas.
None of the three Semi-Saints managed to become a Saint, and they all fell for various reasons, leaving behind three Semi-Saint Artifacts as the dynasty’s heritage.
Now, the loss of a Semi-Saint Artifact meant a severe blow to the Guiyuan Dynasty.
An even more crucial point was.
According to news from the Nine States, that Divine Martial Dynasty actually had a Saint emerge.
This was not simple.
In other words.
The Guiyuan Dynasty had offended a Saint.
Thinking of this.
Emperor Han was already startled into a cold sweat.
At this moment.
A minister respectfully said, “Your Majesty, now that the Divine Martial Dynasty has a Saint, our Guiyuan Dynasty should not break off relations with them, in my opinion, we should seek peace!”
“Our Guiyuan Dynasty has been established for a hundred thousand years, when have we ever needed to seek peace with a mere small kingdom, even if the Divine Martial Dynasty has a Saint, the Nine States battle led to the fall of over a hundred thousand cultivators, among them many scions of Holy Lands and noble families.
Whether that Saint from the Divine Martial Dynasty can even survive is a question, what is there for our Guiyuan Dynasty to fear!”
A military officer loudly objected, not agreeing at all with the suggestion of peace.
Immediately.
Other ministers also began to express their opinions.
“In my view, we should prioritize peace!”
“In my opinion, both peace and war are unfavorable to our Guiyuan Dynasty, I think we should wait and see, waiting for the situation to change!”
“That’s right, with so many forces offended by that Saint of the Divine Martial Dynasty, why should our Guiyuan Dynasty be the one to stick our necks out, in my view, it’s better to just observe from the sidelines.”
The ministers each expressed their views, one after another.
After a moment.
Emperor Han raised his hand, and the originally noisy scene suddenly quieted down.
“Let us wait and see what happens with the Divine Martial Dynasty, and see how other forces react before we make plans!”
Emperor Han clearly understood that if the Guiyuan Dynasty were to clash with the Divine Martial Dynasty now, it would be like throwing an egg against a rock.
Even if the Guiyuan Dynasty had been established for a hundred thousand years, and the Divine Martial Dynasty for just a few years, it was the same.
A Saint.
Could suppress a hundred thousand years of the Guiyuan Dynasty’s accumulation.
This was not a joke.
The Guiyuan Dynasty hadn’t produced a Saint in a hundred thousand years, but the Divine Martial Dynasty had one, which already gave them an absolute advantage.
Not just the Guiyuan Dynasty, many ancient powers nowadays might not be as strong as the Divine Martial Dynasty.
Alive, a Saint signifies absolute confidence.
Had Emperor Han known that there had been a power in the Divine Martial Dynasty comparable to a Saint, he surely would not have allowed Ji Meng to lead the Divine Emperor Army into the Nine States.
What did the death of a mere Prince matter? In comparison to the ten thousand years’ foundation of the Guiyuan Dynasty, it was completely negligible.
But now,
The situation had reached this stage.
Emperor Han was aware that the face-off between both powers had become overt.
At this time, the Guiyuan Dynasty found itself in a difficult dilemma.
In Emperor Han’s view, even if the Guiyuan Dynasty wanted peace, the Divine Martial Dynasty might not agree. As for attacking again, the Guiyuan Dynasty simply did not have the strength.
So,
Emperor Han decided to play it cool and watch the changes before acting.
After all, the Divine Martial Dynasty had now offended many forces, and whether that Saint could survive was a question.
The longer the Guiyuan Dynasty could delay this matter, the more advantageous it would be.
“Additionally—”
“In another thousand or two years, a great era will descend. In this coming era, our Guiyuan Dynasty must produce a Saint. If we were to erupt in conflict with the Divine Martial Dynasty at this juncture, the loss of too many powerful individuals would indeed be more detrimental than beneficial!”
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
At the end of his statement, Emperor Han added another sentence.
As the sound of his voice fell, a surge of Saintly Power suddenly emanated from him. Although this Saintly Power was not as overpowering as that of a true Saint, it still shocked the courtiers.
“Your Majesty has already stepped into the Half-Saint Realm!”
Some courtiers were astounded.
Emperor Han’s expression was one of lofty pride, “In this coming great era, I shall surely become a Saint!”
As the words were spoken,
The courtiers were all visibly invigorated.
Half-Saint!
They had always thought that Emperor Han was merely at the Ninth Layer of the Daoist Palace Realm, but to their surprise, he had already stepped into the Half-Saint Realm.
With this development,
Emperor Han had become the fourth Half-Saint of the Guiyuan Dynasty.
As the great era was only a thousand or two years away, once it descended, the ascension of this Saint who perceived the Dao was virtually a certainty.
The previous three Half-Saints of the Guiyuan Dynasty had either not lived to see the great era arrive or were of advanced age upon its arrival, thus they failed to break through.
Now,
Emperor Han had entered the Half-Saint Realm, and given his not so old age, the potential for his becoming a Saint was foreseeable.
“With Your Majesty presiding over the Guiyuan Dynasty, it will surely flourish!”
“The rise to an Emperor Dynasty is also within sight!”
The courtiers were understandably excited.
If the Guiyuan Dynasty really could produce a Saint, their own status and position would rise accordingly. Having a Saint presiding over the Dynasty versus not having one, those were two entirely different concepts.
To put it bluntly, even if one day Emperor Han should fall, the foundation of sainthood he left behind would still be sufficient to uphold the Guiyuan Dynasty’s legacy.
Seeing the reaction of the people, Emperor Han’s lips curved in a smile; this was the effect he had desired.
Similarly,
This was also why Emperor Han did not want to openly break with the Divine Martial Dynasty at the current time.
He was already at the Half-Saint Realm, and when the great era arrived, he would directly become a Saint.
Therefore,
At such a crucial time, it was only natural that Emperor Han would not choose to directly confront a Saint.
Even though in this era, it was unlikely for that individual from the Divine Martial Dynasty to become a Saint, their combat prowess was heavenly, enough to rival one at the Saint Realm. What difference did that make from a true Saint?
Therefore,
Emperor Han was waiting,
Waiting for his opportunity to become a Saint.
Once he could step into the Saint Realm, even if the Divine Martial Dynasty’s peer to a Saint also entered the Saint Realm, Emperor Han would not fear in the slightest.
Equal as Saints, who could say who would be inferior to whom?
But until then,
Emperor Han had to admit that with his current cultivation in the Half-Saint Realm, it was indeed not possible for him to be an opponent of a power comparable to a Saint.
While the Guiyuan Dynasty chose to observe from the sidelines, other powers also turned their eyes toward the Nine States.
The birth of a power comparable to a Saint, and the fact that he had slaughtered many cultivators in the Eastern Domain—either piece of news was enough to draw the gaze of many forces.
They wanted to see, those top forces whose geniuses had been slain by the Divine Martial Dynasty, what their reactions would be.
