Paths to Sainthood

Deep within Buzhou Mountain, inside the Ancestral Witch Hall.

Space suddenly trembled, and waves of heavy aura emanated from within. It was the disturbance caused by the Twelve Ancestral Witches nurturing their descendants.

In an instant, blood-red pillars of light shot into the sky from the Twelve Ancestral Witches, intertwining and merging into crystalline droplets of blood.

The Ancestral Witches had been transformed from Pangu's Blood Essence, and their bloodlines were powerful. The Witch Clan's hierarchy was simple: Ancestral Witches, Great Witches, and ordinary witches.

The descendants of Ancestral Witches were Great Witches, while the descendants of Great Witches were ordinary witches.

If the Twelve Ancestral Witches bestowed their blood essence upon ordinary witches, they could also help them advance into Great Witches.

Great Witches inherited the bloodlines of the Ancestral Witches and were born with control over Laws. Their bodies were powerful, but they were still far inferior to the Ancestral Witches.

Ordinary witches were much weaker. Though they were not as formidable as Great Witches, they had still inherited some of the Ancestral Witches' bloodline, and their physiques were stronger than those of ordinary Primordial World creatures.

As the first batch of Great Witches and ordinary members of the Witch Clan were born, the Twelve Ancestral Witches began arranging various matters and establishing tribes.

Thus, the Witch Clan was initially born.

Elsewhere, on Buzhou Mountain, within Nuwa and Fuxi's cultivation grounds.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, hurry up and tell us!" Nuwa stood with her hands on her hips, cheeks puffed out and face full of displeasure.

"Hahaha!"

Chu Feng found Nuwa's appearance rather amusing. The future Saint Mother of the Human Race was actually getting angry like a little girl.

Chu Feng cleared his throat and said slowly, "Little Wa, this is very simple."

"There is still time. Fellow Daoist Fuxi should devote herself to cultivating the Yin-Yang Law, while Little Wa must focus fully on the Law of Creation. You should both follow the path of Law Proving the Dao."

Chu Feng looked at the two of them, took a deep breath, and spoke with a solemn expression. "After Hongjun becomes a saint, once she achieves Unification with the Heavenly Dao, the Laws will recede, and the difficulty of comprehending them will increase greatly."

Chu Feng patiently explained the different paths to sainthood to Fuxi and Nuwa.

The strongest path was Law Proving the Dao. One first achieved the Hunyuan Golden Immortal, then further comprehended the Laws and attained the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

A Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal was acknowledged by the Great Dao and would not be restricted by the Primordial Heavenly Dao. Even if one later left the Primordial World, it would not affect one's strength.

The method of Severing the Three Corpses came next. To become a saint through Severing the Three Corpses, one needed three Innate Spiritual Treasures of the same origin.

Chu Feng had learned of this method from Primordial World novels. As for whether it was truly viable, even he was not certain.

After all, Hongjun was the only one who had become a saint through Severing the Three Corpses.

The weakest path was Merit Proving the Dao. Becoming a saint through merit was the weakest route.

In the plots of Primordial World novels, Nuwa had only been slightly stronger than Jieyin and Zhunti because she possessed the two great merits of the Creation of Humans and repairing the heavens.

Jieyin and Zhunti, on the other hand, were saints who had taken out loans, so naturally their strength was inferior to Nuwa's.

As Chu Feng explained, the two listened with rapt attention, seeming to gain some insight.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, then how should I avoid the Tribulation of Killing?" Fuxi could not help asking.

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, I can recommend two paths. It depends on which one you choose."

"Please enlighten me, Fellow Daoist." Fuxi cupped her hands.

Chu Feng's gaze was profound as he looked at her with a grave expression. He slowly said, "First, cultivate the Laws, face the tribulation when the time comes, undergo Reincarnation and Retraining, and follow the general trend. This may be somewhat humiliating, but you will not face any danger.

"As long as you continue down the path of Law Proving the Dao after reincarnation, you will soon return to your peak, perhaps even go further."

"Fellow Daoist Chu, what about the second method? I don't want my sister to die." Nuwa's face filled with anxiety after hearing this. She did not want Fuxi to die.

"Little sister, don't be anxious. Listen to what Fellow Daoist Chu has to say." Fuxi patted Nuwa's shoulder in reassurance.

Chu Feng chuckled. "The second method will be more difficult, but it still involves cultivating the Laws.

"If your comprehension is high enough to attain the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal through the Yin-Yang Law before the later stages of the Witch-Demon Calamity, you will naturally pass through the Tribulation of Killing safely."

After hearing this, Fuxi fell into deep thought. She understood what Chu Feng meant.

If she wanted to change her fate, whether she chose the first plan or the second, the ultimate goal was Breaking the Law with Power.

The first plan was gentler. She would not need to oppose the Heavenly Dao, so it was naturally safer, and it had the advantage of allowing more time.

The second plan was simple and direct: enter seclusion with all her strength, comprehend the Yin-Yang Law as soon as possible, attain the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and break the tribulation with power.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, I have decided to choose the second path. If it truly cannot be done, then I will face the tribulation." Fuxi let out a long breath and made her decision.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, my sister's comprehension of the Yin-Yang Law is somewhat lacking. Can you help her?" Nuwa grabbed Chu Feng's arm and looked at him pleadingly.

"Yes."

Chu Feng nodded. "Fellow Daoist Fuxi, I will give a sermon. You can listen beside the Chaos Green Lotus while observing it and comprehending the Laws. Before Hongjun becomes a saint, you may even break through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal."

"What! The Chaos Green Lotus? Didn't the Chaos Green Lotus disappear?"

Fuxi was dumbfounded. She had never imagined that the lotus Chu Feng had brought out was the Chaos Green Lotus.

After Pangu opened heaven and earth, the Chaos Green Lotus had already vanished. How could Fuxi not be astonished now that it had reappeared in the world?

"It was obtained by chance." Chu Feng remained vague.

Fuxi did not ask further. Everyone had secrets. Since Chu Feng did not wish to say, she would not pry.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, although the Chaos Green Lotus is powerful, if it conceals the Heavenly secrets for too long, I fear the Heavenly Dao may notice..."

Chu Feng's heart jolted. Fuxi's words had awakened him. Concealing the Heavenly secrets for a short time would not alert the Heavenly Dao, but if it lasted too long, the Heavenly Dao would certainly notice.

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, do you have a solution?" Chu Feng could not help asking.

At this, the corners of Fuxi's lips curled into a smile. "Hehe, that's simple. I am skilled in divination. As long as Fellow Daoist Chu agrees, I can use the Chaos Green Lotus to arrange an array formation. That will be much safer."

The two immediately agreed. Borrowing the might of the Chaos Green Lotus, Fuxi arranged an array formation within the cultivation grounds.

Fuxi knew her cultivation was insufficient, so she could only use the Chaos Green Lotus as a foundation to draw out part of its power and envelop the cultivation grounds.

The Chaos Green Lotus was a Chaos Supreme Treasure. Though its ability to conceal Heavenly secrets was inferior to that of the Chaos Bead, it was still far beyond anything a Supreme Grade Innate Supreme Treasure could compare to.

"Time is of the essence. I will begin my sermon now. Fellow Daoist Fuxi, Fellow Daoist Nuwa, how much you can comprehend will depend on yourselves." Chu Feng sat cross-legged and began speaking slowly.

Nuwa and Fuxi nodded slightly and quietly watched Chu Feng.

Chu Feng did not waste any words and immediately began his sermon for the two. "After Great God Pangu opened heaven and earth, Pure Qi rose to become the heavens, while Turbid Qi sank to become the earth. This was the beginning of creation."

"Dao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, Three gives birth to all things. The key to creation lies in the harmony of yin and yang."

"Yang represents vitality and vigor, driving the growth of all things. Yin represents tranquility and steadiness, nurturing the foundation of all things. All things have their own laws of operation..."

As Chu Feng gave his sermon, Dao Charm emerged and filled the entire cultivation grounds. Fuxi and Nuwa's comprehension of the Laws rapidly improved...

Years were not counted in the Primordial World, and time was worthless. A thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

Chu Feng wiped away his sweat, caught his breath, then looked at the two and asked, "Fellow Daoist Fuxi, Little Wa, how much have you comprehended?"
