A Guide to Conquering the Heavens Starting with Dragon Ball

Chapter 176 Ophiuchus Gold Saint

Three years have passed, and the Holy Land remains as quiet as ever, with little change since Jiang Chen and the others left. If one had to say there has been any change...

That means the people in the Holy Land have been replaced.

Some apprentice Saints who were unable to comprehend the Cosmo were voluntarily dismissed and left the Sanctuary.

At the same time, a new batch of apprentice Saints also arrived at the Sanctuary.

They began their cultivation just like Jiang Chen and the others had done before.

"elder brother!"

When the group arrived.

Aiolia excitedly rushed forward to greet him.

"Xiao Ai!"

Aiolos spoke with a smile.

His gaze involuntarily drifted to examine his younger brother.

Three years have passed, and Aiolia has changed tremendously.

Putting everything else aside, Aiolia's head alone has grown noticeably by a segment, not to mention that he is currently carrying an enormous bronze armor box on his back.

Jiang Chen recognized it at a glance; it seemed to be the Bronze Cloth of Leo Minor.

Three years ago, Aiolia gained the approval of the Leo Minor Bronze Cloth. Clearly, after three years, Aiolia has almost perfectly mastered the Leo Minor Bronze Cloth.

This can be discerned from the fact that the other party's inner universe has clearly reached the sixth sense.

"morning!"

After greeting her brother, Aiolia then greeted Jiang Chen with a smile.

"good!"

"It seems you've made great progress these past few years."

Jiang Chen sighed.

"hey-hey!"

Aiolia touched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

Jiang Chen glanced at the two brothers, then called out to them before returning to his residence.

As for Saga, Shaka, and Kanon, they left long ago.

For them, what they most want to understand right now is the seventh sense.

Now that they've returned to the Holy Land, they're naturally making the most of their time to cultivate.

Even Jiang Chen was no exception to this.

He bid farewell to Aiolos and returned to his room with Aiolia to begin their training.

In three years, he grew much taller.

At the same time, his Saiyan power had completely merged with this body. At this moment, even in terms of pure physical strength, he had already surpassed many Gold Saints from the original work.

Although his cosmos power has not yet broken through to the sixth sense, the twelve zodiac signs are almost fully manifested, and his cosmos strength is no less than that of any being below the Gold Saints.

Once he fully manifests the twelve zodiac signs, he feels that his cosmos might even surpass that of an ordinary Gold Saint.

"call!"

He exhaled a small breath of stale air.

"Next, I will focus entirely on cultivation."

"Hopefully it won't be too long!"

Muttering to himself, Jiang Chen then closed his eyes.

Within the sacred realm.

One by one, the Saints also began their training.

Meanwhile.

The Papal Palace.

Two figures appeared.

As soon as he appeared, Pope Shion's face turned pale, and he staggered and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately Alex reacted quickly and caught him.

"Your Majesty the Pope!"

A hint of worry appeared on Alex's face.

"It's nothing, just a minor injury, I won't die anytime soon!"

Shion shook his head.

"But His Holiness the Pope!"

Hearing Shion's words, Shion couldn't help but feel a sense of worry.

"Alex!"

Shion barely managed to steady himself, and his words suddenly became more serious.

"Your Majesty the Pope!"

Upon hearing Shion's words, Alex's expression turned serious, and he couldn't help but speak up.

"Alex, I'll be entrusting the affairs of the Sanctuary to you from now on!"

"From this day forward, you are the new Pope of the Sanctuary!"

Shion spoke in a low voice.

"Pope, your lord?"

"this!"

Upon hearing Shion's words, Alex was startled.

Don't refuse!

"Even without this injury, my body wouldn't have lasted much longer."

"More than two hundred years ago, the battle with Tiankui Star had already left my body riddled with holes. The reason I was able to hold on was thanks to Athena's grace."

"Alex, you are my younger brother. As the Silver Saint of the Altar, no one is more suitable than you to guide the new generation of Saints."

So don't refuse!

Shion shook his head and spoke with a soft sigh.

"I see!"

"elder brother!"

"I will carry on your will and guide the newborn Saints."

Alex took a deep breath and then nodded slightly.

In the end, I agreed.

Upon hearing Alex's words, Shion couldn't help but smile.

"By the way, those children all have extremely bright futures!"

"When their cosmos reaches the peak of the sixth sense, they can attempt to inherit the Gold Cloth."

Shion paused slightly before speaking again.

"I see!"

Alex nodded seriously.

"As for that child from China, I've looked it up. There's actually another house outside of the twelve zodiac signs."

"That is the Golden Palace, also known as the Ophiuchus Palace."

"Legends passed down since the age of mythology state that the Ophiuchus Palace is located between the Scorpio and Sagittarius Palaces, and the guardian Saint of the Ophiuchus Palace is Asclepius, the most benevolent, wise, and courageous Gold Saint among the thirteenth Gold Saints of the Sanctuary."

"It was only because Ophiuchus believed himself to be on par with the gods that he angered them when he attempted to go from being human to god. As a result, the Gold Saint Ophiuchus was banished from the Sanctuary, and even his existence was erased. The Gold Constellation he represented was also wiped out. Ophiuchus was reborn as a Silver Saint in his Cloth."

"If the Ophiuchus Palace reappears, we can let him take charge. Perhaps in this era, we will have thirteen Gold Saints."

"Maybe!"

Shion hesitated for a moment, then spoke softly again.

His thoughts were wandering, and he didn't continue speaking.

Perhaps even he himself found it hard to believe such content.

For some reason, Shion instinctively felt a glimmer of hope.

"Thirteen Gold Saints?"

Alex was surprised to hear his brother's words.

He never imagined that there were such legends beyond the twelve zodiac signs.

Despite his surprise, Alex quickly nodded in agreement.

He had no doubts whatsoever about his brother's arrangements.

A few days later.

Within the sacred realm, a large bell suddenly rang out.

The melodious sound of the bells spread throughout the entire sacred realm, giving people a sense of great peace.

Within the sacred realm.

Many apprentice Saints and prospective Saints who were training unconsciously stopped.

"What happened?"

Galon was a little confused and subconsciously looked at his brother.

Saga shook his head, his expression equally bewildered.

The others weren't much better off.

Even Jiang Chen was somewhat puzzled.

And just after that day, Alex donned Pope Shion's robes and took up his scepter. The Pope remained the same, but the shadow warrior who had always protected him had quietly vanished.

However, it is clear that such a change has been silent and has not caused any disturbance to the Holy Domain at present.

No Saint Seiya paid any attention to it.

Even the Silver Saints who were always by Pope Shion's side did not notice the change.

Jiang Chen and the others were naturally even less able to detect it.

Even as a Bronze Saint, Aiolia is not currently qualified to have contact with the Pope.

Jiang Chen and his group aren't even official Saint Seiya yet, so this is even more true.

However, it was only the seventh day after they returned to the Sanctuary.

Saga, Shaka, and Aiolos were suddenly summoned by the Pope.

Then.

The Gemini, Virgo, and Sagittarius zodiac signs lit up with light.

On that day, constellations twinkled in the sky.

Three powerful golden beams pierced the sky.

Then came three sudden bursts of small universes.

Under the night sky, Jiang Chen looked up, his expression showing little surprise.

"The Gold Saints!"

She whispered something.

Jiang Chen then stopped paying attention to it.

As expected, Saga, Shaka, and Aiolos became Gold Saints at this moment.

Although they hadn't grasped the seventh sense, their inner universes had already reached the limit of the sixth sense.

On the Sanctuary's side, it's clear they intend to use the power of the Gold Cloths to see if they can forcibly induce them to awaken their Seventh Sense.

And the result.

It was undoubtedly a success.

The Gold Cloth can indeed accelerate the attainment of the Seventh Sense.

On the third day after becoming a Gold Saint, in the Virgo Temple, Shaka's cosmos expanded instantly, and in that instant, he took that step.

In comparison, Saga and Aiolos are clearly much weaker.

For half a month straight, they were unable to reach that limit.

However, their cosmos was indeed constantly growing. With the blessing of the Gold Cloth, their cultivation of cosmos directly improved by several levels at this moment.

Jiang Chen was even a little tempted to give it a try.

Unfortunately, the choice of Saint Cloth requires at least the attainment of the Sixth Sense, which he has not yet attained.

Even trying is difficult.

He could only gather his thoughts and continue his cultivation.

Time slips by unnoticed.

Another six months have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past six months, apart from the tremor in the Golden Palace that day, everything in the Holy Land has been extremely stable.

Most of the Saints are carrying out their training in an orderly manner.

Jiang Chen was no exception.

In the past two weeks, the perfection of his inner universe has clearly reached a new level.

I'm just one step away from having a sixth sense.

Just as Jiang Chen was about to gain his sixth sense.

Above the twelve zodiac signs, a beam of light once again shone across the entire sky.

"Aries Palace!"

Jiang Chen looked up, a hint of surprise appearing on his face.

However, I was only slightly surprised.

Jiang Chen quickly thought of a figure.

Mu, the Gold Saint of Aries, and Shion's disciple, clearly arrived at Sanctuary at this moment and became the new Gold Saint of Aries.

His gaze swept over the sacred mountain.

At this moment, on the sacred mountain, Aries, Gemini, Virgo, and Sagittarius were all emitting a faint golden glow, clearly representing the twelve Gold Saints, of whom four were now present.

If nothing unexpected happens, in the next few years...

Besides the Libra Gold Saint, the other Saints will also gradually gather.

And once they gather, that's probably when that one thing will happen.

"Saga!"

"Garon!"

Jiang Chen whispered something, then shook his head and ignored it.

They continued their spiritual practice.

It wasn't until a year after he returned to the Sanctuary.

"boom!"

A powerful aura rose from Jiang Chen's body, and the zodiac constellation within his body was fully formed in that instant, causing his sixth sense to begin to spread continuously.

In the blink of an eye, the sixth sense was born again.

Originally it was evening, but with the birth of Jiang Chen's sixth sense, the sky over the entire Holy Domain darkened in an instant.

One by one, stars began to appear in the sky.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

On the sacred mountain, the twelve zodiac signs once again shone with dazzling light, instantly piercing through the sky, and the Gold Cloths trembled.

Aries.

Mu, who was sitting cross-legged practicing mental cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes.

"What happened?"

"Why would the Gold Cloth feel a stirring?"

Mu's expression was one of shock and disbelief.

Double uterus.

Saga also opened his eyes.

"Is this feeling... Chen?"

Saga's expression also showed a hint of surprise.

His figure stood up in that instant, and his gaze involuntarily turned to the golden armor beside him.

Virgo.

"We've finally reached this point."

"That's really powerful."

Shaka murmured softly, his eyes still tightly closed, but a hint of emotion crept into his expression.

Centaur Palace.

"It's morning!"

Aiolos couldn't help but mutter to himself.

One by one, the Gold Saints were alarmed.

Alex, who was in the Papal Palace, also came out.

His eyes widened, and his gaze involuntarily drifted downwards.

"Such a powerful inner universe, and it's not even the seventh sense yet!"

Alex muttered to himself, his eyes filled with shock.

In his shock, Alex seemed to realize something, and his gaze instantly turned to the zodiac. And upon looking at it, he immediately saw the palace that had once again moved from illusion to reality.

"Ophiuchus Palace!"

The words couldn't be left out, and the words her brother had spoken that day involuntarily resurfaced at this moment.

Thoughts wander.

Jiang Chen, who was currently absorbed in enlightenment, was unaware of all this.

His figure was completely submerged in the transformation of his inner universe.

Developing a sixth sense is not a transformation, but rather a natural occurrence that arises when one's inner universe reaches a certain level of perfection.

This was the case with Saga, Shaka, and others before them.

Jiang Chen is the same now.

With the zodiac complete, the constellation outside the zodiac faintly appears, directly bringing his inner universe to a certain level of perfection.

And finally, they crossed that enormous threshold.

At this moment, Jiang Chen's transformation was undoubtedly comprehensive.

(In the official novel "The Secret of the Holy Sword" in the Toei TV version, Shion died of natural old age, and his younger brother, who was also the Shadow Warrior, took over as the Silver Saint Alex. Alex was assassinated by Saga, so Saga impersonated Alex. This is actually more reasonable, otherwise even if Shion was old, it would be impossible for the teenage Saga to kill Shion.)
