Leonardo’s Response

After brewing over the matter, Queen Adeline also shared that although the little white fox gave off the fluctuations of a saint, even she couldn't see through which layer in which cycle it had reached. Perhaps, it was a high saint on their level.

The difference between high saints and regular saints is quite complex. For now, just keep in mind that every high saint is a third-cycle saint, but not every third-cycle saint is a high saint. For instance, Queen Adeline's twelve Sky Angels are third-cycle saints, but not one of them is a high saint.

Any disciple with superb talent can change their way through the mortal cycles by simply accumulating energy. However, once they make it into sainthood, simply accumulating energy wouldn't cut it, as they need to comprehend their own essence and blend it into said energy, like a process of filtering the good and bad, and proceeding to accumulate the good essence on their path of cultivation.
