Chapter 218: Becoming Saint (Part-2)

Chapter 218: Becoming Saint (Part-2)A virtual palace for a great magister is like another domain for mages, but it is more directed towards spiritual power than physical presence in most domains. It also gives Mages an additional boost when casting spells.

The strength of a virtual palace depends on the technique used by mages to create it during their breakthrough. However, he didn’t feel troubled, as the second part of the Primal Cosmos Meditation Technique, which he purchased for one hundred thousand Creation Points, includes one of the strongest methods for constructing a virtual palace.

During these two months, he not only completed many tasks, but he was able to collect quite a hefty amount of creation points; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to do the second part of the technique.

He was ready for this, and using the method, he started to build a Cosmos palace that, like the cosmos, filled with stars, had infinite potential and power.

He concentrated, visualising the cosmos—a vast, boundless space, teeming with stars and galaxies, representing the infinite potential of his mind. Each star glowed with immense energy, and as he drew upon their light, he felt the first stirrings of his Cosmos Palace. It wasn’t just a place; it was a realm within him, an extension of his soul and spirit that would amplify his magic to levels he could barely imagine.

Boom!

With the invisible barrier within him slowly the virtual and real cosmos palace started to appear in his mind, which also brought an explosive growth of his spirit, even affecting the space just with the spiritual strength.

A virtual embryonic form of cosmos appeared in his mind and filled him with mysterious energy.

Bang!

And with that, his body, soul, and mind completed their breakthrough, and a perfect harmony between the three was established, and he finally reached the saint and great magister realm.

In this heightened state, his strength felt boundless, his senses clearer than ever. The Cosmos Palace pulsed with energy within him, its presence vast and mysterious, as though it could hold entire worlds. He had ascended to a new realm of existence, where his spirit and magic intertwined seamlessly, bringing him an incredible mastery that dwarfed his previous self.

Now, as he took in the power flowing through him, he could feel the Cosmos Palace’s effect: his spells would be faster, sharper, and more devastating. His spiritual strength felt immeasurable, ready to crush obstacles and face any challenge before him.

For the first time, Apollo truly understood the power of a Great Magister—and he was just beginning to unlock the true potential of his Cosmos Palace.

As for the warrior path, there is also a major change as the semi-divine energy within has become purer, just a step away from divine energy. Now he wouldn’t lose to most half-gods in quality of divine energy.

His body also changed and seems to have transformed into some sort of new physique. He could not wait anymore and quickly looked at the system panel to see how much exactly he changed.

After examining the system, he quickly noticed a few changes that piqued his interest. There were new changes in the physique and spirit sections, along with the introduction of a new soul category.

The numerical values disappeared, and new terms emerged. His physique seemed to transform into a 1st-turn divine body, while his spirit took on the form of a 1st-floor cosmos palace, as mentioned in the meditation technique. It also stated that to break the god barrier, he needed to complete and construct a nine-floor virtual palace.

He can guess his body also, like this needed to turn nine turns to become a true divine body. The soul is more mysterious; he didn’t know much about it, but in the sky city with points he can know almost everything about cultivation.

Realising the profound scope of his recent transformation, Apollo knew he had to learn more about these new changes if he was to continue advancing. The Sky City was a treasure trove of knowledge and power, where points could buy almost any information he needed about cultivation, the divine realms, and the mysteries of godhood.

He with that in mind, left the Star Core room and went for a stroll, as after the breakthrough he felt a bit free and he needed to change his mood. For the breakthrough, he was always in a high-concentration state, so he needed some time to adjust and calm his mood.

These two months also brought many changes among the trialists. After utilising the grand facilities of Sky City, they improved by leaps and bounds.

The number of grandmasters and saints increased significantly, as even the weakest trialists who had survived so far had now reached the grandmaster realm.

Master Aaron advanced to the half-step saint realm, and Alyona also seems to have broken through to the saint rank. Pussy King’s strength increased rapidly as well, enabling it to confront most early half-gods directly, not to mention its unknown abilities.

There was about a month before the big change in the Sky Tower, so everyone was frantically trying to improve, and the results are the current strength of trialists.

The rankings of the top hundred trialists went through many rounds of changes in these two months, but Apollo not only maintained his position—he improved by leaps and bounds. He broke into the top fifty and nearly reached the top twenty, currently holding the 23rd spot.

The top twenty are the strongest geniuses of the eastern continent of Rion, and frankly, he underestimated them.

Although only geniuses from one continent were here, the strength or number of geniuses was many times higher than any world he had been in during his task.

It let him understand that Rion isn’t simple and is many times stronger and more mysterious than the worlds he had been in. He was frankly looking forward to what change would take place after a month.

His mind buzzed with thoughts of his journey so far—the countless challenges he had faced, the power he had gained, and the profound transformations he had undergone. With each rank gained, he felt a deeper connection to his laws and skills.

Yet even as he revelled in his progress, Apollo understood that he was merely scratching the surface of his potential. The world beyond the Tower of Sky was vast and fraught with dangers, and he was looking forward to the new challenge.

For a day or two, he took a break from training to enjoy himself as he explored Sky City, visiting many interesting places. One such place was a fighting platform where warriors had equal energy and strength, unable to use their own skills. Instead, they could only fight using the abilities assigned to them at the beginning of the match.

Warriors had to rely on these designated skills to defeat their opponents.

Apollo fought ten matches nonstop and won all of them. With his superb understanding, he mastered the skill so quickly that his opponent could not catch even his single attack.

He used this place for his training over his control, and it was fun as he felt the platform’s ability to ban everything was mysterious and gave him some hints about his future path.

After two days, he resumed his training and focused on grinding and collecting Sky Points once again, determined to become as strong as possible before the major event his sister mentioned.

Time passed, and more than a month passed, and today, the time had come.

The atmosphere in Sky City crackled with energy, a palpable tension that felt like the air just before a storm. Apollo could sense it everywhere—the bustling crowds, the hurried conversations, the glances of anticipation exchanged between the trialists and the mages alike. The countdown to the major event that had been the topic of whispers for weeks had finally reached its climax.

He felt a bit excited as he had spent the last month grinding tirelessly, amassing Sky Points and honing his skills, determined to stand ready for whatever challenges awaited him.

With each step through the streets of Sky City, Apollo could see the excitement etched on the faces of the other trialists. The city felt more crowded today, as everyone was striving to be in perfect condition, having paused their tasks in the last few days.

Currently, he is with Master Aaron, Sol, Alyona, and Lord Idris. The only other person from the kingdom of Rrioweth besides him and his master, who also had survived until now, was gathered with them.
