Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

"Lord Bai Li is soft-hearted and couldn't resist my persistence, so he gave me a chance!" Wu Xin explained with a smile.

"Maybe!"

Ye frowned but didn't say anything more.

She knew the Elder's temperament very well; he was definitely not a soft-hearted person.

Then, she changed the subject and said seriously to Wuxin, "Since you know me and the Grand Elder, and want to join the Holy Domain, you must know a lot about the Small Universe."

"Let's start by talking about your understanding of the microcosm!"

"it is good!"

Wu Xin nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "In my understanding, the microcosm is a power that is omnipresent."

"It exists naturally in everything."

"In other words, each of us possesses the power of a microcosm."

"It's just that most people can't perceive its existence, so naturally they can't make further use of it."

"As long as we can break through this cognitive barrier, we can overcome the limitations of the five senses, enter the realm of the sixth sense, and initially grasp the power of the microcosm."

"I didn't expect you to actually know so much!" A strange light flashed in Ye's eyes.

Among those apprentice Saints who had just joined the Sanctuary, the vast majority had only a vague understanding of Cosmo, or had never even heard of it.

Very few people can accurately perceive the microcosm like Wuxin.

She then added, "As you know, the microcosm exists naturally in everything."

"As long as this cognitive barrier is broken, anyone can master the power of the microcosm."

"But have you ever wondered why only humans and certain special beings can wield this power?"

"this--"

Wu Xin fell into deep thought.

He knew very well that Ye was not just asking casually; this question was absolutely crucial to breaking through cognitive barriers and mastering the inner universe.

"Why is that?"

"What is the essential difference between humans and those special beings, and everything else in the world?"

As he pondered further, Wu Xin seemed to have found an answer.

He looked up at the girl in front of him and said uncertainly, "Whether they are humans or other special beings who control the microcosm, they are all true life forms with true souls that can think independently."

"And other things are nothing but a bunch of soulless dead objects, mere material existences."

"Could it be that the key to mastering the power of the cosmos lies in the soul?"

"It seems you have a good understanding!"

Ye nodded, climbed over and sat down on a nearby boulder, and continued, "The microcosm naturally exists in everything, but we can control it precisely because we have an independent soul and self-awareness."

"As for other inanimate objects, even if they possess the power of the cosmos, they are just a pile of simple matter and cannot utilize the power of the cosmos at all."

"Like this stone below me, without a soul, it will always just be a stone!"

As she spoke, the girl patted the boulder beneath her in a gesture of respect.

"I forgot to tell you, spiritual power has another name, it's called the sixth sense, 'Dust Root Consciousness'!" Ye blinked and added.

"Mental power is what's called the sixth sense, so does that mean we're born with a sixth sense?" Wu Xin was stunned.

"That's right!"

Ye nodded and continued, "Mental power is the key to utilizing the microcosm and also the key to unlocking the extraordinary realm!"

"However, ordinary people's souls and wills are too weak, and their spiritual power is too thin, so their innate sixth sense is in a latent state."

"Like the heroes of mythological times, they were exceptionally gifted, with incredibly strong souls and wills, and their sixth sense was outwardly manifested, so they were born with the ability to sense the existence of the universe and even directly utilize it."

"If we want to achieve this, we can only gradually train our soul consciousness and make it stronger."

"Until a certain moment, it will break through a critical point and elevate our soul consciousness."

"At that time, the originally weak and implicit sixth sense will transform into a more powerful and explicit state, possessing all sorts of incredible abilities, thus qualifying us to enter the realm of the extraordinary!"

"So that's how it is! The purpose of basic training is to transform the originally implicit sixth sense into an explicit one!" Wuxin finally understood everything.

Ye turned around and looked at the stone tower not far away, and continued, "Just like that tower, as long as you persevere and slowly build it up stone by stone, one day you will also be able to build a brand new stone tower on flat ground!"

"Unfortunately, this process is too long and arduous, and not everyone can persevere."

"Therefore, although the Sanctuary replenishes so many trainee Saints every year, only a very few can truly achieve the sublimation of their own will."

"Now, are you mentally prepared for failure?"

As she spoke, the teasing and mockery in her eyes grew even stronger.

"Of course!"

Wu Xin did not back down. He stepped forward and said firmly, "I know that breaking through this step is very difficult, almost impossible, but no matter how difficult it is, I will persevere!"

"Please allow Lord Ye to instruct me on how to specifically train my soul and will!"

Even if the hope is small, trying will always give you a glimmer of hope.

But if you give up because you are afraid of difficulties, then there is no hope at all.

This is the difference between having and not having; he distinguishes it very clearly.

Seeing this, Ye stopped joking and said seriously, "Training an individual's soul and will is simple in some ways, but difficult in others."

"It's just like building a strong physique; all you need to do is keep doing physical training!"

"But the soul is quite special. Our understanding of the soul is still very limited, and we have not yet mastered any direct methods to train the will of the soul."

"Through the continuous exploration of our predecessors, we have gradually discovered that as long as we continuously deplete an individual's mental energy, allowing it to constantly recover and be consumed, we can achieve the effect of training."

"Based on this, we have developed a rigorous physical training method to simultaneously hone the mental will of the trainees through demanding physical training."

"In essence, it is no different from the way ordinary people in the secular world train their physical fitness."

"However, the amount of training we in the Holy Domain undergoes is quite large, far exceeding the limits that ordinary people can withstand."

"Only through this kind of training that pushes the limits can we unleash the potential of the human body, hone our will, and enable us to continuously break through our own limitations and grow."

"At the same time, this is also the main reason why apprentice Saints in the Sanctuary die during training."

"Not everyone possesses this talent for constantly pushing their limits and growing!"

After saying that, she jumped off the boulder.

"Now, I will teach you this set of basic training movements!"

After giving Wuxin a gesturing look, Ye began practicing on his own.

The basic movements used in training are not complicated, and Wuxin memorized them after only watching them once.

He also discovered that this set of basic training movements quickly depletes physical energy and has a great training effect.

"How many of these kinds of training sessions do we need to do each day?" he inquired further.

"Have you forgotten what I just said so quickly?"

Ye gave him a somewhat displeased look and said seriously, "Only training beyond the limits can squeeze out the potential of the human body and temper one's will."

"So, there isn't a fixed standard training volume for these basic training movements? Instead, you have to keep doing them until you can't take it anymore?" Wu Xin's voice trembled slightly.

This is practically a brutal reprimand, leaving absolutely no room for compromise!

Chapter 7 Key Training Points

"Next, it's time to test whether you possess that extraordinary talent!" A playful look appeared on Ye's face.

Although the training method is simple, it still requires talent.

Those with strong talent can train for the equivalent of several days' worth of training for others in one day, and their endurance and recovery abilities are also stronger than others. Therefore, they can withstand such heavy training and become stronger with each training session.

But if you don't have enough talent, this kind of excessive training is just asking for trouble.

"Try it and you'll see!"

Wu Xin didn't say much. He immediately walked to an open space nearby and began to train according to the basic training method taught by Ye.

To be honest, he wasn't sure either.

Talent is such a vague thing, and I'm not even sure if I have the talent to master the universe.

But having come this far, there's no way he can back down now.

He couldn't bear to be an ordinary person in such a mythical world, living a mediocre life.

After successfully completing the first set of basic movements, Wu Xin's forehead was covered with a fine layer of sweat, and his breathing became rapid.

"It hasn't reached its limit yet!"

After a two-minute rest, he began the second round of training.

Rang Ye, who was standing nearby, did not rush to leave. She stood there curiously to observe, eager to see just how far Wu Xin could go.

One set, two sets, three sets...

After doing the fifteenth set, Wu Xin was completely exhausted and couldn't even complete the basic movements of the set. He collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

"Hu-hu-"

He gasped for breath of fresh air, as if he were a stranded fish struggling desperately.

However, in this state of extreme exhaustion, he vaguely sensed something unusual about his body.

His body seemed to undergo some unknown change, every cell in his body became active, giving him a feeling of extreme hunger that desperately urged him to eat.

However, this kind of hunger is different from the usual physiological hunger; it cannot be satisfied simply by eating.

At the same time, he also noticed that the feeling of hunger was dissipating as he breathed heavily, as if the air contained some unknown substance that filled the hunger in his cells.

"Could it be that there's some secret hidden in the air?"

He secretly made a guess and asked Rang Ye, who was standing next to him, about it.

"I didn't expect your senses to be so sharp! It seems you do indeed possess extraordinary talent!" Ye's expression became much more serious, and his previous contempt was gone.
