This Venerate was called Baili Chuixue.
Being able to become a Venerate, even in the Imperial Clan, was extremely impressive, and required astonishing natural talent in cultivation.
Furthermore, Baili Chuixue had already glimpsed the hope of becoming a Saint, but he was still a little bit away from reaching that level. He would either have to improve further in his appreciation of the Heavenly Dao, or have a little more power of belief, and he would be able to light up the holy flame.
In truth, the power of belief was already more or less enough. The reason why he had not begun to attempt breaking through to Saint Tier was because if he used his own power to light up the holy flame, the Saint that he would become would be even stronger.
This was already the last step, so he naturally couldn't be too rash. He had to pursue greater strength.
—To him, this was definitely the last step. Becoming Emperor? Heh, that was impossible.
