Laozi Seeks the Path to Sainthood
The Primordial World, the Netherworld Blood Sea.
The Blood Sea surged and churned, unleashing countless waves of crimson blood!
The Ancestor Minghe, seated atop the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, now wore an expression of utter envy!
Let's set aside the situation of the Demon Race for now.
The fact that the Witch Clan was able to defeat the Demon Race, whose numbers far exceeded his, twice was already shocking to the Ancestor Minghe!
And the demon Demon Race's hasty retreat caught his eye!
Why had the Witch Clan experienced such a powerful rise? After a moment's thought, Minghe guessed that it was related to Fuxi!
He couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
"The Witch Clan is truly lucky; they've managed to connect with a powerful figure comparable to a Dao Ancestor."
Thinking about his own situation, Minghe felt even more bitter.
"If we could befriend Senior Fuxi, wouldn't we be able to find the path to sainthood?"
In the Western Paradise, atop Mount Sumeru.
The Daoist Jieyin and the Daoist Zhunti looked at each other, speechless.
The scene of the Demon Race's defeat shocked them immensely!
The Witch Clan did receive guidance from Fuxi, but the Demon Race also received guidance from Dao Ancestor Hongjun!
How could the Demon Race have suffered such a complete defeat?!
The Daoist Jieyin slowly opened his mouth, his voice hoarse.
"Is the power of Senior Fuxi truly so great?"
On Kunlun Mountain, the Three Pure Ones sat facing each other, seemingly engaged in a philosophical discussion, yet no one uttered a word.
After a long while, Laozi slowly sighed, his words filled with emotion.
"Di Jun and Taiyi are truly fortunate to receive guidance from their teacher."
Originally, he scoffed dismissively.
"So what if you're lucky? You still don't know how to cherish it. You can't even defeat the Witch Clan, you've disgraced your teacher!"
Tongtian looked completely bewildered upon hearing his elder brothers say this.
Why does it seem like he can't understand what his two older brothers are saying?
Didn't the Witch Clan also become stronger after receiving guidance from the predecessor Fuxi?
Seeing Tongtian's oblivious and unaware appearance, Laozi's eyes flashed with displeasure.
Tongtian was not unaware that Fuxi had taken away the opportunity.
The Three Pure Ones are of the same lineage and should clearly distinguish themselves from Fuxi!
How come you, Tongtian, are addressing Fuxi as a senior?!
Actually, I didn't think much about it; I just chose the Tongtian, which I felt was appropriate.
They were unaware that he had suffered an undeserved calamity.
Laozi didn't show his inner thoughts, and continued with a regretful expression.
"Why does the teacher instruct Di Jun and Tai Yi, but not us?"
"That's what Yuanshi continued."
"If I receive guidance from my teacher, I will surely utterly defeat that Witch Clan!"
"I won't be like those Di Jun and Tai Yi!"
Laozi Tzu nodded and said to Yuanshi.
"Second brother, why don't we go find our teacher now and ask him to give us some guidance?"
He agreed wholeheartedly.
"Brother, you are absolutely right. Let's set off now!"
Tongtian, unable to utter a single word, watched his two elder brothers leave hand in hand, only to be left with a final remark to him.
"Third brother, you stay here and guard the house."
"If the teacher has any guidance, we will inform you when we return."
After leaving Kunlun Mountain, Laozi and Yuanshi quickly headed towards the Zixiao Palace.
Upon arriving at the Zixiao Palace, the two saw the palace gates open.
Then Haotian Boy spoke to the two of them.
"No wonder the master sent me to pick them up; it's my two senior brothers!"
After hearing Haotian Boy's words, Laozi and Yuanshi exchanged a glance, revealing a confident expression!
It seems that receiving guidance from the teacher is now a done deal!
The two followed Haotian Boy to Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
"Disciple greets Master!"
The two knelt down simultaneously and said in unison.
His words were full of sincerity!
A look of satisfaction flashed in Dao Ancestor Hongjun's half-closed eyes.
He then asked the question.
"You two have come with some business?"
Hongjun was well aware of the purpose of Laozi and Yuanshi's visit.
However, he won't point it out directly.
What he wanted was for Laozi and Yuanshi to actively seek him out!
That way, he can gain the greatest benefit!
Laozi Tzu already had the appearance of an old man, but now he looked even more aged.
He slowly exhaled and then said.
"Having received the teachings of my teacher, I should have quietly cultivated myself to find the path to sainthood."
"Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a clue, and therefore haven't made any progress."
That's why we've come seeking your help, teacher, to guide us through our confusion and show us the way!
Laozi bowed deeply, looking as if he were thirsting for knowledge!
And the original one, following Laozi, also bowed deeply!
Seeing this, Hongjun naturally felt a sense of pride.
Although he didn't lose his composure, it still brought Hongjun immense pleasure!
Hongjun originally intended to support the Three Pure Ones and the two from the Western Teachings.
He passed on his Dao lineage, and it wasn't truly without seeking anything in return!
All those who Dao Ancestor are disciples of the Mystic Sect).
Those whom Hongjun has chosen to carry forward the Mystic Sect in the future are the Three Pure Ones and the two from the Western Teachings!
Fuxi's repeated actions had already alarmed Hongjun.
He could no longer allow Fuxi to thwart his plans!
Not to mention, in the grand scheme of things, the establishment of the Three Pure Ones' teachings.
Thinking of Fuxi, Hongjun felt a lump in his throat.
If it weren't for Fuxi taking away Laozi's chance to become a saint...
He wouldn't go to such lengths to devise the path to sainthood for Laozi!
After considering the matter several times in his mind, Hongjun sighed softly and said...
"Your path to sainthood lies within the Human Race."
Laozi looked up, his eyes filled with astonishment and doubt.
"But teacher, my opportunity has already been stolen by Fuxi!"
His words were filled with resentment.
Hongjun shook his head, his eyes filled with calm.
"Your opportunity lies with the Human Race, not with the Human Race itself."
Laozi Tzu's path to sainthood, in essence, did not require the Fortune of the Human Race.
That one opportunity to establish a religion is enough!
As the Three Pure Ones, transformed from the Pangu's Primordial Spirit, they inherently possess immense Merit.
Once he establishes a sect, his sanctification will naturally follow!
However, if they want the sect to continue, they still need to work on the Human Race.
Having reached this point, Hongjun continued speaking.
"Your path to sainthood requires you to go to that Human Race, take a Human Race named Xuandu as your disciple, and then establish a sect called the Human Sect!"
Hongjun's words resonated in Laozi's mind like the resounding tolling of a great bell.
He had entered a state of sudden enlightenment!
Meanwhile, Yuanshi, sitting next to Laozi, was completely bewildered.
What Hongjun had just told Laozi was like looking at flowers through a fog to Yuanshi.
No matter what, I just can't grasp its meaning!
His brow furrowed; the more he pondered, the harder it became to find the answer!
Seeing this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun spoke up.
"Don't be anxious, your opportunity lies with your elder brother!"
