Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

"I slept so well! I feel so refreshed!"

He got up, stretched, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

The previous fatigue vanished, and I felt like I had inexhaustible energy.

However, some parts of my body are still a little sore.

"It seems my injuries haven't fully healed yet!" He said with a sigh, then took out the remaining medicine he had and drank it all in one gulp.

In fact, he should have taken the medicine the day after he returned, but he didn't expect to sleep for so long.

However, before Wuxin could even consider his next move, his stomach let out a thunderous roar.

He pursed his lips helplessly, looked down at his stomach, and sighed, "Given the current situation, filling my stomach should be my first priority."

He then left the hut and headed towards the residential area at the foot of the sacred mountain.

After a hearty meal, Wuxin left the living area satisfied and headed straight for the sacred mountain.

However, his gluttonous meal gave the cafeteria manager quite a fright.

Because he ate the equivalent of nearly ten people's worth of food in one go.

If it weren't for his relaxed and carefree demeanor, the cafeteria manager would have been worried that he would overeat and die there.

Before long, Wuxin followed the steps to the first palace on the sacred mountain, the Aries Palace.

"Greetings, Lord Shion!" He bowed to the Gold Saints at the gate.

"You look great, you seem to be recovering quickly!"

Shion nodded and asked, "Is there something you need to do on this trip to the Holy Mountain?"

Wu Xin replied immediately, "I have reached the peak of the sixth sense and am preparing to try to comprehend the cultivation of the seventh sense, Manas consciousness. Therefore, I would like to seek guidance from Teacher Bai Li."

"I wonder if the teacher is still in the Holy Land?"

When he came back last time, Professor Bai Li was still there, but now several days have passed, so it's hard to say.

After all, his teacher had a rather quiet personality and didn't like crowded places.

Compared to Jamir, the Sanctuary was far too lively.

"You're too late! The Grand Elder returned to Jamir the day before yesterday!"

Shion shook his head, then looked at him with amusement and said, "By the way, didn't you forget something, the Great Lord?"

"Ah, what is it?" Wuxin was somewhat taken aback, not understanding.

“We are all disciples of Elder Bai Li, there’s no need to be so formal, junior brother?” Shion’s face showed a smile.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xin was first taken aback, and then suddenly realized what was happening.

Shion's teacher was also Hakurei, but unlike him, Shion did not receive his teacher's true teachings and did not inherit the power of death that his teacher possessed.

However, in terms of their lineage, they are indeed fellow disciples.

Realizing what had happened, Wu Xin replied sheepishly, "Sorry, sorry, Senior Brother Shi Ang, I haven't been in the Holy Land for very long and I haven't seen you many times, so I forgot about it!"

Not long after he arrived at the Sanctuary, Shion left the Sanctuary with Dohko on a mission.

Then, when Shion returned, he happened to be on a mission to the Underworld.

It wasn't until the battle in the Dream Realm that he truly met this senior brother.

To be honest, they hadn't seen each other many times.

"It's alright, it's alright!"

Shion didn't mind, patted him on the shoulder, and laughed, "Although our teacher is not here, your senior brother is still here."

"I'll teach you how to cultivate the Seventh Sense!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Wu Xin was overjoyed.

Then, Shion led Wuxin to the open space outside the temple and asked seriously, "How much do you know about the Seventh Sense?"

After thinking for a moment and combining his memories, Wu Xin slowly replied, "The seventh sense is a kind of cognition that surpasses the sixth sense, which can make people unleash even greater power!"

"Very general, but not precise!"

Shion shook his head and said seriously, "The sixth sense, the root of consciousness, is to enhance a person's instinctive perception and make it freely controllable."

"The seventh sense, Manas, is a spiritual sublimation based on this."

"How to achieve sublimation?" Wuxin raised the most crucial question.

Instead of explaining immediately, Shion pointed to his head and slowly said, "Mental consciousness is the foundation of controlling power."

"And our own microcosm possesses infinite power."

"Theoretically speaking, if we can fully master the power of our own microcosm, we can be on par with the gods."

"But compared to the infinite power of our own inner universe, our spiritual consciousness is too weak to grasp such a powerful force."

"In particular, our mental state can change with the ups and downs of our emotions."

"This is an extremely deadly situation on the battlefield!"

"Therefore, we must overcome these emotional fluctuations and enable ourselves to exert our strength to the fullest extent in any situation."

"This is what they call sublimation!"

"Then, senior brother, how should I cultivate to overcome these emotional fluctuations?" Wuxin grasped the key point.

"life and death!"

Shion stared at him and slowly uttered two words.

"Life and death?" Wuxin was still somewhat confused.

However, he vaguely remembered that comprehending the eighth sense required dealing with things related to life and death.

Shion crouched down, picked up a dry blade of grass from the ground, and patiently said, "All living things are subject to birth and death, and between birth and death lies great terror!"

"For ordinary people, the most common and most emotionally impactful things are life and death."

"If you can overcome the terrifying influence of life and death, your soul and will will naturally be elevated, reaching the seventh sense, Manas!"

"Life and death?" Wu Xin fell into deep thought.

Looking back on everything he had seen and heard since coming into this world, he discovered that, just as Shion had said, the terror of life and death greatly affected everyone's performance in battle.

To give a simple example, back in the dream world, when he first saw Hypnos, the god of sleep, appear, his terrifying aura enveloped the entire area, bringing a threat of death to everyone.

He had almost completely lost his will to fight and had no desire to resist at all.

If the god of sleep were to attack him directly, he might just stand there dumbfounded and wait to die.

Even if they manage to muster the willpower to fight back, they might not even be able to unleash half of their full potential.

This is the influence of emotions on one's mental strength.

Shion then instructed, "To comprehend the seventh sense, Manas, you must overcome the fear of life and death and elevate your spiritual consciousness to its highest level."

"Only by being fearless in the face of death can one reach the realm of the seventh sense!"

"Thank you, senior brother, I'll remember that!" Wuxin nodded.

Shion continued, "If you have time, you can visit the other Gold Saints."

"Although the general ways of attaining the seventh sense are the same, everyone's experience is different."

"Asking other Gold Saints about their experiences in awakening the Seventh Sense might be helpful to you!"

Chapter 169 Griffin Interception

"Well, I see!"

Wu Xin nodded again.

"Is there anything else you don't understand or want to ask?" Shion asked with concern.

As the Gold Saints sacrificed themselves one by one, the power of the Sanctuary gradually weakened. Everyone was eagerly hoping that the Silver and Bronze Saints below could grow faster, and even that new Gold-level combat power would emerge.

As his junior brother, and one of the few Silver Saints at the peak of the Sanctuary, Shion had a great chance of mastering the Seventh Sense, so he naturally taught him everything without reservation.

Wu Xin thought for a moment, then tentatively asked, "I have a question, but it has nothing to do with the seventh sense, or even with cultivation."

"However, this might involve something that saddens you, senior brother. I wonder if you would be willing to offer some guidance?"

"My sad story?"

Shion paused for a moment, then seemed to realize something, and his expression became somewhat unnatural.

"You want to ask about the battle in which Libra Dohko sacrificed himself, right?" he said with a long sigh.

"Ok!"

Wu Xin nodded and added, "If Senior Brother doesn't want to mention it, then forget it!"

Tong Hu's sacrifice was too sudden, and it just so happened that he had just received a mission to enter the underworld, so he did not have the opportunity to learn more about it.

Therefore, he has always been very curious about this matter.

“There’s nothing that can’t be mentioned! Your senior brother isn’t that fragile!” Shion rolled his eyes at him, his thoughts returning to that sad day when he recounted the fierce battle to Wuxin.

Since encountering Hades' awakening in Italy, Pegasus' homeland, Shion and his companions have engaged in fierce battles with Hades' Specters.

Among them, the Heavenly Explosion Starfire under Hades was exceptionally powerful, and fought Dohko to a standstill.

Fortunately, Hades had just awakened and had no desire to fight, so he quickly chose to retreat without lingering. This allowed Shion and the other Saints to escape with their lives.

Just as they were about to return to the Holy Land, and everyone thought they had escaped a calamity, they encountered Minos of the Heavenly Noble Star.

"Where are you all going, everyone?" Minos of the Heavenly Noble Star, along with a group of Specters, blocked the Saints' path.

"Specters? What are you doing here?" Shion exclaimed in astonishment.

For safety's sake, after finishing their battle with Hades, they hurried back to the Sanctuary despite their injuries, without even daring to stop along the way.

Logically speaking, they shouldn't have been intercepted by the pursuing Specters.

"Surprised?"
