Chapter 441: One-Star Dou Saint!

Chapter 441: One-Star Dou Saint!

In the midst of his cultivation, Xiao Ze lost track of time, his focus entirely on the ever-increasing height of the Origin Tree. As the mysterious force fully permeated the void space, Xiao Ze's consciousness stirred. His soul, anchored in the Origin Tree, sensed that the void space had expanded several dozen times its previous size.

The most significant change wasn't the expansion but the transformation from "void" to having a semblance of reality. Xiao Ze had speculated that the void space might evolve into a small dimension, and the recent special reward from Xun'er's breakthrough solidified this notion. The Origin Tree now seemed like a World Tree, supporting this nascent dimension and potentially becoming the pillar of a future small realm.

In addition to the changes in the void space, the Origin Tree itself underwent substantial growth. Xiao Ze continued to cultivate, using the tree's transformation as an opportunity to heighten its stature. The tree had now reached a height of 129,600 meters!

To Xiao Ze's surprise, his current cultivation stage wasn't the expected half-saint but a bona fide one-star Dou Saint! Just like Xiao Yan in the original story, who bypassed the half-saint stage using the Bodhi Heart, Xiao Ze had directly entered the one-star Dou Saint level.

Looking at the Origin Tree, Xiao Ze pondered. Each star in the Dou Saint stage seemed to correlate with a 100,000-meter height increment, yet the concept of a half-saint conflicted with this pattern.

"Could it be that in my Origin Tree system, the half-saint stage doesn't exist?" Xiao Ze wondered, increasingly convinced by this theory.

"Perhaps the tree's diameter expansion encompasses the half-saint stage, which is why it's progressively harder to increase," he mused, before dismissing these thoughts to focus on his current state.

The Origin Tree's height now corresponded to the early stage of a one-star Dou Saint. To reach the mid-stage, it needed to grow to 130,000 meters, with every 30,000 meters marking a new phase. The final 10,000 meters would equate to the one-star Dou Saint peak.

Beyond height, the golden Imperial Flame that once coated the tree now formed a vast golden canopy, sheltering the void space like a guardian. Although the space was still more void than reality, it now had a protective canopy, reminiscent of a World Tree.

"Though I anticipate this void space evolving into a realm, its current size is still insufficient," Xiao Ze assessed. Even with the recent expansion, it was nowhere near the scale of the Dou Qi continent. To match even a single continent like the North-Western Region, it would need to expand several hundred times.

Reflecting on the special rewards system, Xiao Ze realized that Xun'er's Dou Saint reward might only be obtainable at the Dou Di level.

"If I need to reach the Dou Di threshold to claim the Dou Saint reward, I'll need a source of origin qi," he noted. Fortunately, the panel clarified his doubts: reaching the Dou Di threshold, the peak of nine-star Dou Saint, would suffice for the reward.

After organizing his breakthrough gains, Xiao Ze opened his eyes. Unlike before, he no longer needed to conceal his aura; he appeared as an ordinary person, blending seamlessly with his surroundings.

Xiao Yi Xian, Medusa, and Qing Lin, sensing the diminishing energy storm, paused their training. Seeing Xiao Ze awake, they approached with smiles.

"Young Master Xiao Ze!"

"Xiao Ze!"

Smiling back, Xiao Ze confirmed, "I've successfully broken through. I am now at the pinnacle of the Dou Qi continent."

The women gasped, understanding the significance. In an era where Dou Di was a legend, Dou Saint represented the peak of power.

"What's your current stage, Young Master?" Qing Lin asked curiously.

"Early one-star Dou Saint. I seem to have accumulated so much that I bypassed the half-saint stage entirely," Xiao Ze explained, leaving them astounded.

Skipping the half-saint stage in just six months of secluded cultivation was extraordinary. After congratulating him, Xiao Ze's attention shifted to a distant direction.

Frowning, he sensed the clash of Dou Saint energies coming from the direction of the Netherworld Sea.
