Seconds ago, he was a Senior.

And now?

Now, he was a true Sage.

Rui's expression crumbled with unadulterated shock as the Senior underwent a singular smooth process to the Sage Realm without any sort of break-ups whatsoever.

His conscious mind expanded with the Martial Mind and Soul in an indistinguishable process. Although by human classification, there were two breakthroughs happening, Rui couldn't help but feel like he was looking at one breakthrough.

Regardless, he simply stared at the Senior with a dumbfounded expression as the elder man finally stabilized.

"Amitabha, I have harnessed my Inner Self." The elder man's opened his eyes with a serene smile.

Bodhisattva Maitreyi nodded with a knowing expression. "This has been a long time coming, Bodhisattva Kilak."

"How...?" A whisper escaped Rui. "How is this possible?"

Bodhisattva Maitreyi smiled at him with an amused expression. "I told you, did I not? Gen philosophy is twice as successful in helping one gain Enlightenment of Self. This is not strictly exclusive to Martial Masters. There have been some Seniors in the past who have gained Enlightenment of Self thanks to Gen philosophy."

"Wait, this has happened before?" Rui's eyes widened. "One time would have extraordinary by itself!"

She smiled. "Of course, it's rare, but yes, it has happened before. Only in the Gen Temple."

Rui shifted his gaze back to the newly ascended Sage Kilak, who bowed towards Rui with deference and gratitude. "Amitabha, this one shan't forget my debt to you, Dawnbringer."

Rui didn't care.

At long last, after multiple shifts of the defensive effort had cycled, Rui had finally gotten to every Martial Artist.

And with that, his commitment to the Gen Temple was complete.

There was only a single Master to whom he had yet to bestow his Hellbringer model upon.

"She has yet to make her mind up," Bodhisattva Maitreyi informed him. "However, I cannot help but wonder if you have made yours."

He shifted his gaze towards her.

"I have."

He stared right into her eyes. "I will travel the continent with Amare if that is what she desires."

She smiled. "Good, then the only thing that remains to be seen is what her decision will be."

Her expression fell slightly. "I wish she could have found out under better circumstances. But alas, she does not have time. She will have to process her emotions and come to a rapidly dwindling decision soon."

He could tell that Bodhisattva Maitreyi was concerned about a woman who was no different from her granddaughter. Despite the fact that Amare was a century old, the elder Bodhisattva worried for her like she was still a young adult.

And, in some ways, she was. "I have always kept her close in fear that her tendency to get lost and absorbed in a singular task with a one-track mind would hurt her or, worse, get her killed," Bodhisattva Maitreyi heaved a sigh. "Her greatest strength is also her greatest weakness. Her lack of situation and circumstantial awareness makes me feel dread whenever she is by herself. A truly troublesome granddaughter."

And yet, she was unable to hide the expression of affection and love on her face.

She was quite different from his own grandmother, and yet she reminded him of Matriarch Silas in some ways.

"I will be catching a few hours of sleep to heal from the utility of the Martial Mind," Rui informed her. "After that, I will be leaving."
