"Right now, I've unlocked about ten percent of my human divine essence? And that's my current limit. If I try to improve any further, I might get lost in that endless sea of information!"
"Well, actually, even in this state, I can't maintain it for long... I can probably only maintain it for about five minutes."
"However, I should say that I have now... surpassed the limits of a sage."
Su Han lowered his eyes, his mind racing with thoughts.
In his state of merging with the essence of humanity, Su Han was able to directly access a great deal of information from human history... He also used this information to confirm his current state.
"Should I be called... Bagua level now? Or maybe Saint Emperor level?" Su Han murmured.
The three ancient emperors, Yan and Huang, were all masters of the Eight Trigrams, or rather... when they established their own dynasties, they were at this level...
They were also the first beings in human history to reach this level, so this level is also known as the Holy Emperor level.
As for whether the three queens later broke through this level and reached the higher Nine Palaces realm...
Su Han didn't know either. Although he could obtain all information about humanity through the human divine essence, it was only theoretical. After all, he couldn't fully bear the power of the human divine essence... so the information he obtained was also limited...
"However, unsurprisingly, Lao Tzu, Confucius, Wang Yangming, and others once reached my current level of Bagua... and even some people in the West! But that was in the past... They have all left now? Although we still don't know why they went or where they went."
Su Han felt a mix of emotions, but he wasn't surprised. He had a premonition.
Those individuals, with just their manuscripts, were able to suppress the demon ancestor, who was comparable to a sage...
Manuscripts that inscribe their own profound principles contain such great power; the power they themselves possess cannot be overestimated.
...
At the same time, a tremendous change occurred on Earth. Brilliant streams of light rose, etched themselves into the heavens, and converged to form the imprint of the Great Dao.
Even in the Western Hemisphere, where it was currently in darkness, the light of the Great Dao erupted.
The entire world was as bright as day, and a sacred aura rose in every corner that could be seen.
Huaya Kyoto.
Tai Kangzi's face was solemn. He took a step forward and stood tall in the sky, cold sweat beading on his forehead. "This scene... a celestial phenomenon! All the myriad paths are converging."
"I can feel it. The Dao left behind by the Three Sovereigns of antiquity and the sages of the human race who broke through that limit... has become active at this moment. It is obviously because a new Dao has been inscribed on this world! Thus, this world has been sublimated once again."
Tai Kangzi remained silent.
Although he couldn't directly access history like Su Han, he was the president of the Huaya Cultivators Association and the gatekeeper of the Yanhuang Great Library...
He also has some knowledge of major events in Chinese and Asian history, and even in world history. His understanding in this area is no less than that of Su Han.
The so-called Bagua (Eight Trigrams) is Heaven and Earth, which is the world.
Because upon reaching this level, theoretically, one can resonate with heaven and earth through one's own power, replace the will of heaven and earth, and exercise the power of the heavenly way in one's own realm.
The three ancient emperors took turns ruling, but what they were passing on was not ordinary imperial power, but rather the authority granted by the Heavenly Dao...
Of course, if several beings at the level of Bagua appear in the same era and the same world, they will all want to seize that Heavenly Dao authority, which will restrain each other and prevent them from controlling the Heavenly Dao power.
"We must find out! Who exactly created this existence?" Tai Kangzi felt a chill run down his spine. After a brief moment of thought, he made up his mind and took to the skies.
If a Western sage were to reach this level, then things would be troublesome.
Although the East possesses sufficient means to curb its unbridled actions, these means are undoubtedly intended for suppressing its underlying strength, and should only be employed in crises of national annihilation...
In other words, if that person is indeed a Western gossipmonger, then even if he didn't say anything, the East will inevitably fall into a phase of strategic contraction in the future.
We will wait until that being, like the one who attained enlightenment through the Eight Trigrams who once appeared in this world... leaves this world due to unforeseen circumstances...
After all, the significance of the Heavenly Dao's authority is terrifying.
If, for some reason, you incur the displeasure of that newly born Heavenly Dao, even if he doesn't take action himself, his senses will cause your luck to plummet, leading to many unexpected troubles in the future.
If he himself harbors murderous intent towards you, then things will be even more troublesome... You might be walking down the street when a meteorite hits you on the head, or you might be hiding in a cave during seclusion when an earthquake strikes, and the chances of your cultivation going awry will greatly increase...
Of course, it wasn't just Tai Kangzi. Anyone whose strength had reached the level of a half-saint would have guessed what had happened.
Then, the Western demigod made a similar decision to Tai Kangzi, and flew nervously and anxiously into the sky...
At the very least, we need to know who exactly accomplished such a great feat.
Then, based on the other party's nationality and even their values, determine whether their future strategy should be changed.
Of course, by the time Tai Kangzi arrived in space, Su Han had already returned home.
Tai Kangzi lowered his eyes, his emotions complex, and remained silent for a long time. He felt an energy aura lingering from Su Han that was all too familiar…
"Is that you?" Tai Kangzi murmured to himself as he looked down toward Jinling.
Soon, three semi-saint level experts from the West appeared. Their expressions varied.
"That one... exists?!"
"The sacred aura left behind at the scene is completely unfamiliar to me! It's unbelievable. In a world where even sages don't know if they exist, why would such a being suddenly appear? And it's one I've never seen before... Strange, so strange."
"Eastern Sage! Did you see that... Emperor?"
