“Okay.”
Omniscient Deity nodded and said gently, “Rise.”
Sky stood up.
He stood aside nervously.
Sky remembered provoking a fight with James at the Jade Sect, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He would never have dared to act so arrogantly on Mount Jade if he had known the Omniscient Deity was his teacher.
The Omniscient Deity remained silent.
Sky was flustered.
“Sir, please let me explain. On the island, the Prince of Orchid Mountain appeared, and I… I…”
The Omniscient Deity waved his hand and said, “I know.”
“Then, why have you come to see me?”
Sky looked at the Omniscient Deity.
He thought his teacher was here to scold him, but that did not seem to be the case. He was unable to read the Omniscient Deity’s intentions.
“You’ve already ascended the Skyward Stairway’s Ninth Stair and are one step away from becoming a ninth-ranked grandmaster. I’ve come to give you some advice and guidance to break into the ninth rank.”
Hearing this, Sky was overjoyed. He knelt on the ground again and said, “Please guide me, Sir.”
“Get up. Don’t kneel out of the blue.”
“Alright.”
Sky stood aside and looked at the Omniscient Deity with anticipation.
The Omniscient Deity said, “The ninth rank requires one to have rich experiences in life before being able to comprehend it. You’ve lived for a long time but have too much greed. You’ll never be able to break through the rank if you don’t let go of it. You'll step into the ninth rank once you let go of your greed.
“To eliminate the greed in your heart, you should dwell within the commoners. Find yourself a wife and have a daughter or son. Live a good life, and perhaps by the time your child grows up, you’ll realize what it takes.”
After the Omniscient Deity finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Although he was out of sight, his voice resounded.
“Remember my advice. If you want to enter the ninth rank, you can have desires, but you have to put away your greed.”
With that said, the Omniscient Deity left the villa.
