This was the difference between having one’s own true dao seed and a false dao seed.

A true dao seed was composed of one’s entire cultivation. The higher the grade, the farther and firmer one would be on the path of longevity!

Whereas a false dao seed was a type of external force. One would have to fit their own dao cultivation into a seed that did not belong to them.

In cultivation, a power that did not belong to oneself was ultimately an external force, and this also applied to a borrowed, false dao seed.

The second type of False Saint was something else entirely.

According to the mysterious woman, among the current experts who had stepped into the Saint stage, all those who walked the inherent path of the past were False Saints!

This kind of Saint could study Saint Dao Laws and seek the divine path, but because this path had long been walked, their achievement would be predetermined.

However, the mysterious woman said that in the eyes of the world, False Saints of the second type were already considered True Saints as they mastered a power completely different from the first type, being able to comprehend Saint Dao Laws and wield divine power.

This was the difference in visions.

Characters like the mysterious woman saw the first type and the second type False Saints in a similar light despite their differences. After all, when one picked up the wisdom of the previous generations and took the same paths, their achievements were destined to be limited.

Meanwhile, it was impossible for the current cultivators in the world to see it this way.

“The saint without a saint is the true saint, the dao without the dao is the great dao…” Lin Xun suddenly muttered as he recalled a strange experience in the past.

Back then, in the Blood Kill Battlefield of Mulberry Woodland, there had been an ice saint tree on which a golden cicada and a white cicada perched.

Both were terrifying existences of the Saint stage.

The words he had just muttered were what the golden cicada had said to him during their serendipitous, bizarre conversation.

“Huh, who told you this?” The mysterious woman was surprised.

Lin Xun didn’t hesitate to tell her about his chat with the golden cicada.

“A golden cicada…” The mysterious woman seemed to remember something and fell silent.

“That was an admirably willful madman, who swore to one day make it possible for all the living beings in this world to become Saints!” The mysterious woman sighed with a trace of reminiscence in her clear voice. “Which everyone knows is impossible, but that madman has never strayed from this path… Forget it, let’s not talk about it.”

She shook her head, unwilling to dwell on the memories, as if they were unbearable.

Lin Xun originally wanted to ask about the origin of the golden cicada, but seeing her like this stopped him immediately, knowing that he might not get an answer even if he asked.

“Still, what he told you is right. The saint without a saint is the true saint, the dao without the dao is the great dao. A true Saint is one who paves an unprecedented Dao path of their own!”

The mysterious woman then sighed softly. “However, this is too demanding. Throughout the ages, nine cultivators out of ten were unable to pave a divine path of their own when stepping into the Saint stage. Among the many Saints I know, most of them unwillingly and resentfully yielded at this step because it’s simply too difficult!”

“Have you ever set foot on this path, Senior?” Lin Xun couldn’t help but ask.

Stunned, the mysterious woman only replied after a long silence, “Sort of. You will naturally understand when you reach the Saint stage in the future.”

Closing this topic, she proceeded to succinctly expand on the Saint stage.

Above the Saint stage was the Big Saint stage, taking the meaning of ‘great and limitless.’

Above Big Saint was Saint-King, the king of the Saint Path.

As for whether there was a higher stage above Saint-King, the mysterious woman didn’t say, and Lin Xun didn’t ask.

In the end, regardless of whether it was the True Saint or the False Saint stage, and regardless of the levels within the Saint stage, they were ultimately too far off reach for the current Lin Xun, who hadn’t even stepped into the King stage.

Being too ahead of oneself and overly ambitious was a big taboo in cultivation.

Crack!

Suddenly, a crisp sound like that of glass shattering resounded in the sky dome.

The mysterious woman immediately looked up, her face cold and intimidating.

At some point, a terrifyingly huge crack had appeared, revealing the void. It was just like the canopy of the sky had cracked open a mouth.

A vague shadow of a spear filled with supreme majesty was looming in that cracked void.

Lin Xun’s hair stood on end as an unprecedentedly oppressive and deadly aura caused him to stiffen. His soul, dao heart, and his entire cultivation started showing signs of collapsing!

Whoosh~

With a wave of the mysterious woman’s hand, a divine rainbow enveloped Lin Xun and moved him to a very distant place, while she remained under the crack with a calm and collected expression. However, her aura was becoming increasingly intimidating.

Not far away, the herd of goats shivered as they pressed themselves on the ground like pastes of mud, their eyes full of horror. They were unable to fathom how something so terrifying had just happened so suddenly.

Clang!

The spear figure made a humming sound that shook the area. The air was steeply filled with an unspeakable aura of destruction.

The sky and the earth tumbled as if facing heavenly punishment!

“It actually came in advance…” the mysterious woman muttered. She did not shield herself and just quietly stood there while thousands of holy, crystal bright rainbows emerged around her, reflecting her figure in a transcendent, dream-like scene.

Crack! Crack!

The spear figure in the void gradually coalesced. Little by little, it swept out from the collapsing sky, shattering the nearby void in the process.

Interwoven with the two highest powers – Dao and Law, it was like a spear of judgment from the heavens!

The mysterious woman still made no effort to dodge as it was useless.

Because this was the Dao Slashing Spear, the embodiment of uncertainty and death, an entity of unknown origin so powerful that it was like the manifestation of the will of the Heavenly Dao!

Boom!

The battle spear finally completely revealed its overly bright and blazing true face, diffusing a vast killing aura as it slayed down from the sky.

In an instant, the goat herd of five Saints suffered a soul-crushing fear and fainted on the spot.

Frighteningly, the mere aura emanating from a battle spear caused five Saints to lose consciousness at once!

If this were to be known by the world, who would believe it?

Meanwhile, the mysterious woman still stood in the open without hiding or evading. Her finger tapped the air, and the thousands of divine rainbows floating around her swiftly coalesced at her fingertip.

Then, the fingertip and the spear collided!

BOOM!

The sky collapsed, and the earth cracked as the blazing Law Power burst into monstrous turbulence that swept through the area.

It was hard to imagine what kind of supreme and terrifying power this was, seemingly able to smash the heavens, break the grand dao, and disrupt the flow of time. It generated a destructive aura that could cause despair across all worlds.

Lin Xun’s eyes stung, and his soul was buzzing. Even with the protection of the woman’s rainbow, his mind still fell prey to a boundless fear.

And then, he could not see anything.

When Lin Xun’s vision regained clarity after an unknown time, he saw that the sky and earth had been restored to their original state.

The sky had no traces of shattering, the mountains and rivers were still in their usual places, and even the grass and trees were intact.

It was as if what he had just witnessed was only a nightmare.

However, when he looked at the mysterious woman, he was shocked to see a bowl-size hole on her left shoulder!

Moreover, her figure became more and more blurry like smoke, as if she would dissipate at any time.

“That was the Dao Slashing Power from the Ancient Wasteland Domain. It targets anyone who sets foot on the forbidden path of the Saint stage,” explained the mysterious woman casually. When she turned to look at Lin Xun, the wound on her left shoulder had disappeared.

Dao Slashing Power!

Lin Xun immediately recalled a similar event he had witnessed deep within the Boundary River, in that ancient shrine left behind by Saint Monk Duji of Earth Treasury Temple.

Through the white jade lotus seat, he had had the honor of seeing Saint Monk Duji and Black Phoenix Saint Queen cultivate together. It was like a flashback to the ancient times, a dream that spanned thousands of years.

But in the end, the two Saints fell.

The one who had killed them was a magnificent, towering golden figure.

And the reason was because the two Saints had together created the Great Treasury Silent Scripture, which had triggered some kind of taboo power, thereby attracting the Dao Slashing Power.

That golden figure was from the same place as the Dao Slashing Power!

At the thought of this, Lin Xun’s heart quivered.

Today, he had witnessed that forbidden power descend again, and the fact that the mysterious woman was able to survive it was extremely horrifying.

Lin Xun quickly discarded the distracting thoughts from his mind and asked her, “Are you alright, Senior?”

“It’s fine, I can still stay for a while.” Her expression was indifferent. “But time is running out, so we need to change our itinerary a little.”

Saying that, her figure flickered. In a flash, five clones were derived, each looking exactly like her with an equally astonishing aura.

“I will sell these goats back to their respective clans. Do you want to make a trip to the Boundary River with me or go to a certain clan?” asked the mysterious woman.

In her original plan, she was going to take Lin Xun to visit the remaining five clans one by one. However, she changed her mind after the appearance of the Dao Slashing Power.

“The Boundary River?” Lin Xun was stunned.

“Indeed. The only place to deduce when the great era will arrive is the Boundary River. You can also take a look and see how different this great era is going to be.”

Hearing this, Lin Xun replied without hesitation, “I’m going with you to the Boundary River.”

“You really don’t want to go to Omega Sword Sect or Spirit Treasure Holy Land to take a look? This is a rare opportunity. Even if it’s just a clone of mine, it won’t let you suffer the slightest injury.” The mysterious woman seemed to imply something.

“No, I don’t.” Although Lin Xun felt bad to miss this opportunity, he knew that even if he went, it would be no different from the previous visit to Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan.

While such a visit would give him joy and satisfaction, it would ultimately be of little significance.

Whereas, if he could follow the mysterious woman to see the signs of the coming great era, it would undoubtedly be the most valuable experience!

“That’s fine.” The mysterious woman nodded.

Her five clones acted in unison, each driving a goat and riding a rainbow through the void to their designated clan.

Meanwhile, she took Lin Xun and traveled in the direction of due east.
