Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

El Cid paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Forty years old is still enough!"

"At least, I have enough life left to last until the end of this holy war!"

"It's such a shame that my strength can't be restored!"

His cultivation level has plummeted, and his limbs are missing. He is now much weaker than before the Holy War began.

This was undoubtedly another heavy blow to him.

"But in any case, I still want to thank you both for your help!"

"Without your help, I might be a corpse by now!" El Cid composed himself and solemnly thanked the two of them.

"It's alright, saving lives is my duty as a physician!" Odysseus waved his hand.

Wu Xin chimed in, "As companions, it's only right that we help each other!"

"Thank you!"

El Cid thanked him again, and then said, "Alright, I still have to report to Lord Sasha, so I won't waste any more time with you!"

"goodbye!"

With that, he exerted force with his feet, and his entire body instantly transformed into a golden streak of light, rushing out of the Ophiuchus Palace.

With Capricorn's treatment completed, Wuxin finally finished her caregiving duties here.

After bidding farewell to Odysseus, he also left the Ophiuchus Palace.

He hadn't rested for three days and three nights in a row, and he was extremely tired and mentally exhausted.

After sleeping for two days and two nights, Wuxin finally woke up again.

After getting plenty of rest, his mental state improved significantly.

"What should I do next?" He began to think about his action plan for this period of rest.

Currently, the entire Sanctuary is in a state of rest and recuperation and will not wage war against other countries for the time being. As for the Ghost Warriors, Odysseus has also taken action to investigate.

It seems unlikely that the Sanctuary will take any major action until the exact location of the Evil Spirit Warriors' lair is found.

He will be relatively free in the coming period as he has not received any new assignments.

"Perhaps I should consider combining the power of ice and the power of death!"

"Also, the cultivation of the eighth sense should be put on the agenda!" Wuxin made a decision immediately.

With no new missions, his best option is to hone his combat skills and improve his strength.

The enemies are emerging one after another, and their strength is far beyond what he remembers of the holy war.

To survive in this cruel world, he must further improve his strength.

Although he has created a special move called 'Frosty Moon Reflecting Shadow' using the power of ice, this move mainly serves a restrictive function rather than being primarily designed for lethality.

He wanted to go a step further, combining the control characteristics of ice power with the destructive power of death power to create his own powerful combat techniques.

Especially after seeing Defteros's 'Extreme Dimension True Spirit Solitary Prison', which combined the power of soul and space, his idea of ​​combining the two powers to create a new combat technique grew stronger and stronger.

Besides, he is now very close to the peak of the seventh sense, and it is time for him to consider cultivating the eighth sense.

With that thought in mind, he immediately headed towards the sacred mountain.

Before long, he arrived at the third temple on the holy mountain, the Gemini Temple.

As one of the few Saints in the Sanctuary who had awakened the Eighth Sense, Defteros and Aspros were undoubtedly his mentors.

At the same time, he also wanted to learn from Defteros' experience in combining the two forces to create combat techniques.

"Are you going up to see Lord Sasha?"

Upon seeing him appear in the Gemini palace, Defteros glanced upwards gesturingly.

"No, I came here specifically to seek guidance from the two seniors!" Wu Xin shook his head.

"Ask me for advice? Ask me what?" Defteros asked, somewhat surprised.

"I have two questions!"

Wu Xin held up two fingers and said earnestly, "The first thing I want to ask you, senior, is your experience in combining soul power and spatial power to create combat techniques."

"It's the same move you used to fuse with Senior Aspros!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the right side of Defteros's face.

Although a face is on one person's body, the right half of Defteros's face represents another soul within his body, Aspros.

Which move are you talking about?

Defteros nodded, lost in thought, and said, "That move was originally just a spatial sealing technique."

"But when I was controlled by my brother's demonic fist, seeing him being restrained by Death and Hades, I couldn't help but have the idea of ​​pulling my brother's soul back."

"Therefore, I focused my attention on another combat technique I had mastered, the 'Demon Emperor Illusion Fist'!"

As he spoke, he opened his left hand, and a small universe of power condensed in his palm, rapidly changing according to his will, releasing a special soul aura.

"My 'Demon Emperor Illusion Fist' possesses the ability to distort will and manipulate souls, thus also involving the soul realm!"

"Therefore, I decided to use the Demon Fist as a bridge to connect the souls of my brothers, and then use the power of space to bind them from the outside. This special combat technique was thus created!" Defteros opened his right hand again, where a small universe power was also condensing and rapidly changing, releasing a faint spatial fluctuation.

Clearly, it was a change in attributes completely different from the previous power of the microcosm.

Then, to Wu Xin's astonishment, Defteros clasped his hands together, and the two different forces steadily merged together.

"This……"

Seeing this, Wu Xin became curious and immediately stretched out his hands, gathering ice power and death power in his hands respectively, attempting to fuse the two.

However, the two forces had different properties, and a strong sense of repulsion was produced as soon as they came into contact.

When Wu Xin exerted a little force to press them into contact, an explosion immediately occurred, causing the two forces to annihilate and cancel each other out.

Defteros earnestly instructed, "To combine two forces to create new combat techniques, you must learn to master the balance between the two forces."

"Only by combining them stably can you make good use of them."

"As for how to find the balance, that's up to you!"

When two different energies come into contact, they will inevitably repel each other, and it is impossible to use them normally under such a mutually repelling state.

“I understand, senior!” Wuxin nodded.

"So, what is your second matter?" Defteros asked curiously.

Wu Xin looked serious and said earnestly, "In this Holy War, all kinds of powerful enemies have emerged one after another. I want to improve my strength as soon as possible. In addition to combat skills, I also want to seek improvement in the realm of my microcosm."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "I believe you can sense that my cosmic realm is almost at the peak of the seventh sense."

"So I'd like to ask you, senior, how should one proceed on the path to the Eighth Sense?"

Chapter 388 Beyond Life and Death

"Let my elder brother answer this question for you!"

Defteros shrugged and said helplessly, "I was able to comprehend the Eighth Sense entirely because of him. I only gained this level of power by utilizing the special soul relationship between us twin brothers."

"In comparison, my elder brother comprehended the Eighth Sense on his own, and his understanding and knowledge of the Eighth Sense are stronger than mine."

Before he could finish speaking, Defteros's voice changed slightly as Aspros took over the conversation.

"In your understanding, what is the key to realizing the seventh sense?" He didn't answer the question directly, but instead posed a counter-question.

After thinking for a moment, Wu Xin replied seriously, "It is 'fearless of life and death' and 'undaunted by life and death.' This strong emotion drives the sublimation of spiritual consciousness, and then leads to the understanding of the seventh sense, Manas consciousness."

"Fearless? Dauntless?"

Aspros pondered the text repeatedly, then looked at Wuxin with surprise and praised, "A very insightful understanding and summary!"

"Even among the Gold Saints, very few can surpass your understanding of the Seventh Sense!"

"It seems everyone misjudged you! Your talent is not much worse than that little lion's!"

"Thank you for the compliment, senior, but I feel I am far inferior to Regulus!" Wuxin replied with a smile.

That was a formidable figure who could combine the essence of the ultimate techniques of twelve Gold Saints; he dared not compare himself to him.

Right now, he's still struggling to create new combat techniques by fusing the power of ice and the power of death, and he has no clue what to do.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but have such an idea.

"Perhaps I should consult Regulus later!"

Although Regulus's cosmos level is not as high as that of the Defteros brothers, Regulus is unique in his fusion combat techniques.

Perhaps the opponent hasn't truly mastered the ultimate combat technique, 'The Ultimate Roar of the Twelve Constellations,' but they should have already completed a portion of it.

In terms of experience in fusing different elemental powers, Regulus is undoubtedly the number one in the Sanctuary.

He would have almost forgotten about it if Aspros hadn't brought it up.

"No need to be modest!"

Aspros waved his hand and said, "The Holy War is a crisis, but it is also an opportunity!"

"A brutal war will temper everything and accelerate everyone's growth."

"Things that would normally take countless years, or even decades, to understand, may become clear to you in the next moment amidst this brutal war!"

"This is also why Saint Seiya grows much faster during wartime than during peacetime."

"I have a feeling that it won't be long before you catch up with our level!"

"Sorry, I've gone off on a tangent!"

He paused for a moment, then continued, "If the key to comprehending the seventh sense, Manas, is to be fearless of life and death, then..."

"Therefore, the key to comprehending the eighth sense, Alaya-vijnana, is to transcend life and death."

"What is transcending life and death?" Wuxin asked earnestly.

Aspros thought for a moment and slowly said, "Fearlessness of life and death elevates your spiritual power, allowing you to stand on a level equal to life and death."

"But if you want to reach a higher level, you will inevitably need to put in more effort."

"Because spiritual practice is inherently a process that becomes increasingly difficult."
