Ice Heart Venerate was surprised, not understanding why Jiang Fan would ask about the Sages.
Jiang Fan was only at the Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul Realm; sages should be a very distant matter for him.
After pondering for a moment, she patiently replied:
"As far as I know, there are only five."
Jiang Fan was slightly shocked.
First, he was surprised at the difficulty of entering the Virtuous Realm.
In the past thousand years, the number of Heavenly Human Five Declines Great Venerate born in Central Earth might not be a hundred, but there should be dozens, right?
However, among them, only three actually reached the Virtuous Realm!
The difficulty of achieving merit is evident.
Second is the excitement; there was finally a clue about the Asura Saint Son.
He asked eagerly, "Could you please tell me who the sages are?"
Ice Heart Venerate grew more puzzled, feeling as if Wang Chongxiao was searching for someone.
Suppressing her confusion, she answered:
"They are Wan Yun Sage, Dragon Flame Sage, Tianluo Sage, Ancient Zen Buddha Venerable, and Jiuyou Demon Venerable."
Jiang Fan was secretly excited; the Asura Saint Son was among these five people!
No, one had to be excluded.
That would be Dragon Flame Sage.
If I’m not mistaken, the owner of the Little Tiger’s family is Long Yan Venerable.
He later advanced to the Virtuous Realm.
The Dragon Flame Sage mentioned here should be him.
This Dragon Flame Sage became a Divinity Transformation Venerable in the Human Clan a thousand years ago.
So his suspicion is directly eliminated.
Next are Wan Yun Sage, Tianluo Sage, Ancient Zen Buddha Venerable, and Jiuyou Demon Venerable.
Judging by the names, the latter two should be sages from Buddhism and the Demon Race.
But this does not eliminate their suspicion.
Because Hua Xin once said, the Asura Saint Son originates from the Bloodthirsty Shura lineage.
Their best skills besides blood-sucking are hiding identities, to the extent that the Ancient Saints had not detected his existence.
So, it’s hard to say whether he disguised himself as a Human Clan, a Demon Race, or even hid in Buddhism.
It’s Jiang Fan’s first time being so close to the Asura Saint Son.
He hurriedly asked again, "Senior, do you know if there was a Heavenly Human Five Declines Great Venerate in the Taicang State who seized the luck of the entire state to enter the Virtuous Realm?"
Upon hearing this, Ice Heart Venerate felt a bit embarrassed but still said:
"Of course, I know."
"I have also been to Taicang State to observe the local luck and see if it’s possible to replicate the path of that sage."
"But I was stopped by the Great Wine Sacrifice."
Oh?
Jiang Fan was puzzled, Ice Heart Venerate had been to Taicang State?
When did this happen?
However, that was not the question he should be asking.
With a hint of anticipation in his eyes, he said, "Which one of the aforementioned was that Great Venerate?"
Ice Heart Venerate replied, "How would I know?"
"Entering the Virtuous through luck is not an honorable deed; that Great Sage would naturally conceal the past."
"Moreover, it happened several hundred years ago; most of those aware of it have already fallen, and few know of it now."
Jiang Fan felt deeply regretful.
He was so close to exposing the Asura Saint Son.
Still, today’s gains were not insignificant.
At least he narrowed it down to four people.
Upon returning to Taicang State, he’ll slowly inquire about the four sages’ circumstances to see if there are any clues.
Whoosh—
An invisible fluctuation suddenly swept out from a crack.
It was shapeless and invisible.
