Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

"I see, I understand!" Wuxin nodded.

As spiritual practice becomes increasingly difficult, the demands on mental strength naturally increase as well.

When he attained the Seventh Sense, he was fearless of death and thus gained the power to advance to a higher level. But now, if he wants to attain the Eighth Sense, he naturally needs a mental strength that is even stronger than his fearlessness of death back then.

Transcending life and death is clearly superior to being fearless of life and death.

"How can one transcend life and death, senior?" Wuxin asked again.

"Hmm...it's hard to describe in words!"

Aspros thought for a moment and said seriously, "Apart from those with extraordinary talent, anyone who has comprehended the Eighth Sense has gone through a life-or-death ordeal."

"Take me for example!"

“I died in the battle for the papacy, and was then resurrected by the Twin Gods. I went through a process of life to death and then from death to life. I am more familiar with death than any of you, which is why I have transcended life and death, sublimated my spirit and will, and comprehended the eighth sense.”

“Like El Cid, it seems he also had a similar near-death experience.”

"If you want to develop your eighth sense, the easiest way is still to go to the edge of life and death to find it."

"The chances of comprehending it through sheer hard work alone are extremely low!"

"Thank you for your guidance, senior!" Wuxin solemnly remembered Aspros's words.

After asking some other questions about cultivation, Wuxin bid farewell to the twin brothers and continued climbing the sacred mountain.

Before long, he arrived at the fifth house, Leo.

Leo Regulus appeared to be practicing combat skills on a platform outside the temple, emanating a powerful aura.

Perhaps the appearance of enlightenment affected Regulus's mindset, causing the energy gathered in his palm to vibrate violently.

boom!

With a loud bang, the energy in Regulus's palm exploded, blasting him several meters away.

"terribly sorry!"

Wu Xin quickly stepped forward to help him up, and said, "It seems I came at the wrong time. I'm sorry to have disturbed you!"

"fine!"

Regulus waved his hand and laughed, "I was just experimenting with some combat techniques, which were never very stable to begin with."

"Even without you, I would have failed just now; it was only a matter of time."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xin immediately took notice and tentatively asked, "May I ask what kind of combat technique you are experimenting with?"

"There's nothing I can't say!"

Regulus smiled and said proudly, "I learned some of the unique basic moves from the other Gold Saints, and then I'm going to combine the essence of these moves to create an unprecedented combat technique!"

"Amazing, amazing!" Wu Xin praised sincerely.

Just as he had expected, Regulus was already researching the move 'The Ultimate Roar of the Twelve Constellations' at this time.

"So, how far have you progressed in your research?" he asked curiously.

Regulus replied with a smile, "I have successfully integrated the essence of eight different combat techniques, and I only need four more to completely complete this move!"

Based on his own speculation, once he completes this move, he will gain an unparalleled and powerful combat technique, far more powerful than any of the other Saint Seiya's techniques.

Even those with an eighth sense would find it difficult to withstand this attack.

"As expected of the Gold Saint who is recognized by everyone as having the strongest talent!"

Wu Xin praised him again without reservation, and pressed on while the iron was hot: "Actually, I am also researching a new combat technique, which I want to combine with the power of ice and the power of death, but I have no clue yet."

"Now that you have successfully integrated the essence of eight different combat techniques, may I ask you for your experience in integrating different energies?"

Chapter 389 Constantly Seeking Advice

"of course can!"

Regulus nodded and said with a smile, "I'd also like to see what kind of combat technique you can create!"

He paused for a moment, then continued, "The key to fusing different energies lies in balance!"

"Because energies of different properties naturally repel each other and are difficult to coexist."

"To integrate and utilize them, they must be smoothly combined together."

"Like this!"

As he spoke, he spread out his hands, one hand manifesting a chilling aura of ice, and the other a deathly aura of blackness.

He then brought his hands together, and the two energies of different attributes permeated each other, slowly merging under Wu Xin's astonished gaze, eventually turning into a gray energy.

It has both the icy chill of freezing air and the gloomy coldness of death.

Upon seeing this, Wu Xin quickly concentrated his mental energy to perceive the mystery of fusion within.

Regulus did not hold back, but generously fused and separated the two powers in his hands, providing them to Wuxin for observation.

He continued, "Everyone's understanding of power is different, so the balance point for fusion will naturally be different as well!"

"In addition, the final application methods are also different, which will also affect the position of the balance point."

"I don't know what kind of combat techniques you want to create, but I must remind you of something."

"You can refer to the balance point I have grasped, but never think of being lazy and copying it directly."

"If that's the case, then you'll never succeed!"

"Thanks for reminding me!"

Wu Xin quickly expressed his gratitude.

After demonstrating for nearly ten minutes, seeing that Wu Xin had roughly memorized it, Regulus then withdrew his cosmic power and dispersed the two different types of power.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Wuxin hurriedly asked, "I remember, you've been at the peak of the Seventh Sense for a long time, haven't you?"

Haven't you considered trying to access your eighth sense?

Given Regulus's talent, Wu Xin never doubted that he could enter the Eighth Sense.

But the situation is becoming increasingly tense. Even El Cid has reached the Eighth Sense, while Regulus remains silent, which puzzles Wuxin.

Regulus stood up, somewhat helplessly saying, "Actually, I've been thinking about this for a long time."

"In fact, I have made several attempts to enter the realm of the eighth sense."

"But each time I was just a little short, unable to take that final step."

"I always felt that the time was not right, so I had to change direction and start studying combat skills to improve my strength."

He had come close to that field countless times, but ultimately he was unable to truly enter it.

Timing?

Wu Xin felt somewhat heavy-hearted after hearing this.

Even the exceptionally talented Regulus needed the right opportunity; he felt it would be even more difficult for him to awaken the Eighth Sense.

After exchanging some experiences about the Eighth Sense, Wuxin bid farewell to Regulus and went to the Eleventh House, Capricorn.

Originally, Capricorn should have been the tenth house, but due to the return of Ophiuchus and its intervention between Scorpio and Sagittarius, Capricorn, which was right after Sagittarius, had to be moved one place back.

After a brief period of depression, the crippled Capricorn El Cid regained his fighting spirit and honed his swordsmanship day after day.

He transformed energy into a sword, replacing his own arm, and tirelessly swung it towards the distance again and again.

Although his realm had fallen and was even far inferior to before, Wu Xin could clearly feel that El Cid's fighting spirit and battle intent, or rather, his sword intent, had become even stronger.

If it weren't for this injury to his foundation, El Cid might have been able to take another big step forward in the realm of the Eighth Sense.

Wu Xin didn't dare to make a sound and disturb him, but just stood quietly by and watched El Cid's every swing of his sword.

Although the opponent's moves were unremarkable, each sword strike carried an invincible sword intent that ordinary people could not withstand.

Even just standing far away and observing, Wu Xin could still faintly feel that sharp edge pricking his skin.

If it were anyone else, they would probably be cut by that sharp aura just by looking at it.

Upon noticing his arrival, El Cid swung his sword twice more before finally stopping.

"What's wrong?" He glanced at Wuxin in surprise.

Wu Xin didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "I would like to ask you, senior, for some experience in comprehending the eighth sense!"

"Oh, so that's what it is!"

El Cid sighed and immediately began to tell his story.

Perhaps because he was usually quiet, El Cid's account was more concise, much shorter than that of Aspros and Regulus.

However, El Cid's explanations are less detailed and more difficult to understand.

Fortunately, Wuxin had already gained a lot of experience about the Eighth Sense from Aspros and Regulus, so even though El Cid's explanation was more obscure, he could still understand it in general.

The overall content is similar to the previous two accounts, the key lies in 'transcending life and death'.

It's easy to say, but hard to do.

Throughout the history of the Sanctuary, very few Gold Saints have actually taken that step; the vast majority can only reach the Seventh Sense.

After receiving guidance from El Cid, Wu Xin stopped climbing and left the sacred mountain, returning to his seaside hut to meditate.

Soon, a month had passed.

During this month, Wuxin still did not find any opportunity to break through the eighth sense, and it could even be said that he made no progress at all.

However, he has made great progress in terms of new combat techniques thanks to the guidance of Defteros and Regulus.

In particular, Regulus generously demonstrated different energy fusion processes for him, which greatly helped Wuxin.

By combining the freezing properties of ice power with the soul-attacking properties of death power, Wuxin finally created a new combat technique.

Although it cannot compare to powerful combat techniques like 'Tenryuha' that transcend one's own level, it has greatly enriched his fighting style.

"In any case, this month has not been wasted!" Wu Xin was very satisfied with this.

Just then, a familiar voice echoed in his ears.

"All Saints of Gold rank and above, come to the Holy Mountain for a meeting!"
