Chapter 14814 Six-Star Saint Rune Master
A hint of confusion flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes. He frowned slightly and asked in puzzlement, "Why? Why is there such a big difference when both are refining Saint Rune Stones?"
Yao Tianji suppressed his smile and patiently explained:
"The core issue lies in the dual consumption of physical and mental energy."
Crafting high-grade holy rune stones requires extremely high standards for both parties. It demands sustained focus and precise control over every strand of holy rune power. A slight misstep will lead to exhaustion and defeat.
And you, your physical strength and spiritual power far surpass those of ordinary people, even far surpassing those of Saint Rune Masters of the same realm.
This is what allows you to maintain extreme focus for three consecutive hours, enabling you to refine a perfect high-grade holy rune stone in one go. In this respect, you have a natural advantage that others cannot match.
Ling Xiao nodded slightly, his tone tinged with helplessness: "Even so, if I continue to refine at such a high intensity, I won't be able to hold on. My mental and physical strength simply can't keep up."
Yao Tianji smiled slightly, his tone gentle and tinged with concern:
"It's already very good. There's really no need to rush. With your current strength and skill, you can already be considered a three-star advanced Saint Rune Master. If word gets out, all the Saint Rune Masters in the Chaotic Martial World will be shocked."
Ling Xiao was stunned, a look of surprise on his face. He asked incredulously, "A three-star advanced Saint Rune Master? It's that simple?"
Yao Tianji nodded emphatically and patiently explained:
"Yes, the ranking of Saint Rune Masters is actually very simple... Only those who can successfully create high-level Saint Rune Stones are worthy of being called high-level Saint Rune Masters; and those who can consistently create high-level Saint Rune Stones of a certain star level are high-level Saint Rune Masters of that star level."
Our ancestor Shi Wensheng was a seven-star advanced holy rune master back then, and one of the most outstanding holy rune masters in the history of the Chaotic Martial World.
And that Demon Lord is the only Saint-level Rune Master in the history of this chaotic martial world, simply because the Saint-level Rune Stones he created have surpassed the category of advanced seven-star, reaching an unprecedented level.
He paused, then added:
"In addition, there is another more vivid saying among the people: low-level Saint Rune Masters correspond to soldier level, mid-level Saint Rune Masters correspond to general level, high-level Saint Rune Masters correspond to marshal level, and those who can refine high-level seven-star Saint Rune Stones correspond to king level."
Saintly Rune Masters correspond to Emperor-level masters.
However, this explanation is mostly based on popular belief and lacks rigor. We at the Sacred Rune Academy prefer the simpler and more understandable star-rating system, which better aligns with the cultivation and advancement of the Sacred Rune path.
Ling Xiao pondered for a moment, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes, followed by a hint of anticipation. He said softly, "So, it seems I still have a lot of room for improvement? There's still a considerable gap between me and a seven-star advanced Saint Rune Master?"
Yao Tianji nodded solemnly:
"That's one way to put it."
You have just reached the level of a three-star advanced holy rune master. The difficulty of each step, from four-star to five-star to six-star, will increase exponentially.
As for high-grade seven-star sacred rune stones, obtaining them is extremely difficult, requiring the fusion of multiple powers and the comprehension of the ultimate essence of the sacred rune path—something that cannot be achieved in a short time.
Ling Xiao nodded thoughtfully, a determined glint in his eyes: "I understand."
Looking at the determination in his eyes, Yao Tianji smiled with satisfaction and asked, "What's wrong? Judging from your tone, you want to continue challenging higher-star Saint Rune Stones and try to break through to four-star or five-star?"
Ling Xiao shook his head, his tone firm and without the slightest hesitation:
"Of course I'll try. Although refining high-grade seven-star holy rune stones is very difficult and will be hard to achieve in a short time, I must at least reach the level of a high-grade five-star holy rune master first. I cannot let down the entrustment of the founder, nor can I let down your and the academy's trust."
He paused, then added, "Moreover, I am most skilled in the power of the five elements. If I were to refine high-grade five-star sacred rune stones of the five elements, it would be much easier and I should be able to succeed in a short time."
Yao Tianji quickly waved his hand, his tone full of concern, afraid that Ling Xiao's eagerness for quick success might hurt him:
"Don't rush, rest for a while before starting! Continuously refining Saint Rune Stones at high intensity is too much of a drain on your physical body and mental strength. I'm really afraid you'll ruin your health. Sharpening your axe won't delay your work. Only by resting your mind can you break through faster."
Ling Xiao did not refuse. He was aware of his current state. If he forced himself to continue refining, not only would it be difficult to succeed, but it might also backfire on him.
He nodded, took out several high-grade pills to replenish his mental and physical strength from his storage ring, and put them in his mouth.
The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and a pure medicinal power spread out in an instant, nourishing his tired body and overdrawn mental energy. He then closed his eyes and began to calmly rest.
After a while, Ling Xiao slowly opened his eyes. The fatigue in his eyes had faded, and his physical body and mental strength had basically recovered.
Without further hesitation, he immediately got up and threw himself back into refining the Sacred Rune Stone. This time, his goal was a perfect-grade, high-level, four-star Sacred Rune Stone.
Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
During these three months, Ling Xiao focused single-mindedly on studying the Way of the Sacred Runes.
Starting with a high-grade four-star holy rune stone, he broke through step by step and actually succeeded in refining a perfect high-grade five-star holy rune stone, only one step away from a high-grade six-star holy rune stone.
However, refining a high-grade six-star sacred rune stone increases the difficulty several times over, and refining the legendary high-grade seven-star sacred rune stone is even more troublesome...
The Seven Star Sacred Rune Stone not only requires the perfect fusion of the power of the five elements, but also the fusion of other primordial powers between heaven and earth. The understanding of the Sacred Rune Way and the control of power must both reach the extreme.
He is now struggling to refine high-grade six-star holy rune stones. Although he can occasionally succeed in refining one or two, most of the time he fails, let alone the more difficult high-grade seven-star holy rune stones.
Therefore, for Ling Xiao at this moment, high-grade seven-star sacred rune stones are still an unattainable existence. To successfully refine them, he needs to put in more effort and spend more time comprehending and accumulating knowledge.
Seeing Ling Xiao's slightly disappointed expression, Yao Tianji smiled and stepped forward, gently comforting him:
"Young Master, high-grade seven-star sacred rune stone, can't be rushed."
Your progress is already astonishing enough. In just three months, you have broken through from a three-star advanced Saint Rune Master to a five-star advanced Saint Rune Master. If this were to spread, it would be enough to shock the entire Saint Rune Realm of the Chaotic Martial World.
Cultivation requires a gradual and progressive approach. Take your time; as long as you persevere and continuously gain insight, one day you will be able to break through the barriers, refine high-grade seven-star sacred rune stones, and even surpass your ancestor to reach the realm of a sacred rune master.
Ling Xiao nodded slightly, suppressing his disappointment, and turned to Yao Tianji, asking solemnly, "Dean Yao, there is something I would like to ask you."
