In the enigmatic version of the Extraordinary System, there is a very important factor, and that is position.
The Transcendents, whether casting spells or conducting rituals, require the corresponding position for assistance, and higher positions have a nearly overwhelming advantage over lower positions.
This might not be evident between lower sequences and mid-sequences, but once it reaches Sequence 5, the importance of position becomes especially prominent.
If a lower position sequence attempts to forcibly cast a spell on a higher position existence, they will suffer position backlash.
Of course, not every interaction between Transcendents can result in position backlash; at least a two-sequence difference is required to achieve such an effect.
Moreover, there is no significant position advancement between lower and mid-sequences, almost never showing signs of position backlash, making it almost exclusive to high-sequence powerhouses.
For example, the one who just made a move is a Sequence 6, merely a mid-sequence Transcendent. To cause a position backlash to this person, Lu Yan would have to be at least a Sequence 4 Human Saint, or possibly even higher.
A Human Saint is a significant figure in the True God Church, someone who can preside over a region, often supporting a thousand-year-old noble family in the Kingdom.
In the absence of accidents, a Human Saint has at least several hundred years of lifespan, already completely breaking away from the bounds of mortality.
As for the higher Sequence 3 present-world Human God? The Sequence 5 middle-aged man dares not think, nor can he think.
"Saint?" Lu Yan drew a meaningful curve at the corner of his mouth.
"Sort of!"
The various Transcendents present all appeared visibly moved, as if witnessing a legendary existence. The previously haughty faces were now full of awe and shock, all bowing to Lu Yan with no trace of the arrogance seen when praised by new nobles and capitalists.
A middle-aged scholar-like Transcendent in a dark green robe and wearing gold-rimmed glasses was the first to approach and bow deeply: "Kaine of Axiom Academy, greets Your Highness the Saint!"
Following suit, the Sequence 5 powerhouse in a deep red ceremonial dress also stepped forward, kneeling on one knee, right hand on chest: "Ducao of the Deep Red Council, greets Your Highness!"
"Reina of the Tower of Destiny, greets the Saint!" A silver-haired female Transcendent elegantly saluted, her eyes an unusual shade of violet, glinting with wisdom.
One by one, the Transcendents stepped forward to pay their respects, expressions respectful, eyes full of reverence.
Those who can enter the Violet Manor are almost never Transcendents on a broken Extraordinary Path; most have proper sequence heritages.
Although most have fallen into decline, such actions in themselves are a form of etiquette, recognition and respect for the strong.
The nobles and capitalists, who had previously surrounded the Transcendents, now looked at each other, not understanding what had happened, but could still sense the gravity of the situation.
They carefully stood aside, not daring to make rash moves, for fear of disturbing this mysterious and unfathomable Saint.
The Count of Violet stood in place, his expression shifting from shock to thought, eventually turning into a complex form of awe.
As the host of this banquet, he finally stepped forward and bowed deeply: "Arthur Levinton of the Violet Clan, on behalf of the family, extends the highest respect to the esteemed Saint."
"I apologize for the earlier rudeness, failing to recognize your identity was my oversight."
His voice was sincere, his posture humble, a stark contrast to the authority he exhibited during his earlier inquiries.
Despite the Violet Clan's prominent reputation in Oranck, it is merely one of the emerging nobles, lacking substantial Transcendent foundation; otherwise, there would be no need for such an Extraordinary banquet.
From the first Extraordinary banquet to now, dozens have been held, and the Count of Violet has built numerous connections, including Sequence 5 powerhouses bestowed with knighthoods by the royal family.
Yet even so, no Human Saint has ever attended a Transcendent gathering.
To a Human Saint, what is the Violet Clan and new nobles but a bunch of nouveau riche with no underlying substance to attract them.
If he could use this opportunity to establish a connection with the Human Saint present, the level of the Transcendent gathering might rise to another level.
Lu Yan merely offered a calm smile: "No need to be nervous, my reason for coming this time is simply to participate in this banquet, to conduct some transactions with those present."
Upon hearing the word "transactions," all the Transcendents present immediately showed signs of excitement.
"What does Your Highness the Saint require?"
Lu Yan's gaze swept over the many Transcendents present.
"I need to collect some knowledge of the Extraordinary Path, the more, the better, as long as it's not redundant."
The expressions of excitement on the Transcendents' faces suddenly stiffened, exchanging glances as they fell into a brief hesitation.
The Extraordinary Path is undoubtedly the most vital core knowledge for all Transcendents, enough to establish a powerful Extraordinary organization when paired with important Extraordinary materials.
Especially since most of the Transcendents present have heritages, even if their powers have declined, the Extraordinary Knowledge cannot be casually traded with others.
After a moment, it was still Ducao of the Deep Red Council who proactively asked:
"May I ask, Your Highness the Saint, what is your purpose in collecting knowledge of the Extraordinary Path?"
Lu Yan had no intention of concealing anything, responding directly: "Of course, it's to create an entirely new Extraordinary Path."
The Transcendents' pupils suddenly constricted; Lu Yan's revelation was even more shocking than his identity as a Human Saint.
