Hongjun Achieves Sainthood! Zixiao Palace Preaches the Dao, Astonishing the Primordial World

On the peak of Kunlun Mountain, purple energy surged for thirty thousand miles.

Golden floral immortal music echoed through the nine heavens.

Nuwa sat cross-legged, her divine form majestic.

Dense Qi of Creation and Lin Shen's boundless Origin Qi enveloped her layer by layer, forming a massive, cyan-gold cocoon.

Behind her, the illusory projection of the Mountain and River Diagram of Social Order slowly unfurled.

Within it, suns, moons, and stars revolved, and myriad life evolved, birthing a true Great Thousand World.

BOOM--!

The bottleneck of her cultivation at the peak of Grand Unity Golden Immortal, under the relentless onslaught of Lin Shen's unreasonable Origin Qi, couldn't even last a single breath.

It shattered with a roar!

Terrifying pressure erupted from Nuwa, surging straight into the clouds!

This pressure was no less than the phenomenon when the Three Pure Ones broke through, perhaps even more immense.

Primordial Golden Immortal!

She did it!

Following the Three Pure Ones, the fourth Primordial Golden Immortal of the Primordial World was born!

And it wasn't over yet!

This time, Lin Shen actively "gave back," his Origin Qi transformed by the Primordial Violet Qi, pure and vast.

Its energy level far surpassed that of when he helped the Three Pure Ones break through.

After helping Nuwa break through to the early stage of Primordial Golden Immortal, the cyan Origin Qi did not weaken. Instead, it surged even more fiercely into her body.

Nuwa's just-stabilized realm rocketed upwards again.

It began to soar madly!

Peak of early Primordial Golden Immortal...

The bottleneck appeared again, then was broken through once more!

Mid-stage Primordial Golden Immortal!

In just a few short hours, Nuwa made the astonishing leap from the peak of Grand Unity Golden Immortal to the mid-stage of Primordial Golden Immortal!

This speed was faster than taking a teleportation array!

As all the phenomena gradually subsided, Nuwa slowly opened her eyes.

Those eyes, already stunningly beautiful, were now even more profound, more compassionate.

She could see through the origin and end of life, comprehending the supreme mysteries of creation.

Nuwa felt the unprecedented Primordial magic power within her body.

It was entirely her own, no longer bound by the Heavenly Dao.

Her heart was filled with indescribable shock.

She looked down at the little fellow who was watching her with a curious expression.

His small hand was still on top of her head.

Her gaze was filled with extreme complexity.

Is this his power?

With a gentle touch, he allowed her to cross a chasm that countless powerful beings had spent billions of years trying to overcome.

This was no longer something that could be described as a "stroke of luck."

This was a true "miracle"!

"Thank you, little friend."

Nuwa stood up and bowed deeply and solemnly to Lin Shen.

This bow was more sincere, more heartfelt than her previous bow to the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Hongjun's bow was to the Great Dao, to the sliver of opportunity to become a Sage.

But her bow was to a tangible, life-altering grace!

Lin Shen watched as another beautiful older sister bowed to him and scratched his head sheepishly.

He withdrew his little hand and said in a childish voice, "You're welcome, Sister..."

He was actually a little confused himself.

I just thought Sister Nuwa was pretty and wanted to share some 'good stuff' with her.

Why did she suddenly start glowing?

And she glowed for so long.

[Ding! Host successfully assisted Nuwa in breaking through to the mid-stage of Primordial Golden Immortal!]

[Triggered Special Achievement: "Friend of the Holy Mother"!]

[System detected that this action has great significance for the future birth of the human race and the evolution of Primordial World civilization, and has therefore issued an extra-large reward!]

[Reward: Host's cultivation level increased, breaking through to the peak of the early stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal!]

[Reward: Spiritual Power -- Hand of Creation (Beginner)!]

A series of system notification sounds echoed in Lin Shen's mind.

Boom!

A torrent of energy, even vaster than when he broke through to Grand Unity Golden Immortal before, surged into Lin Shen's body.

His cultivation bottleneck was instantly shattered, and he directly leaped from the early stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal to an entirely new realm.

Peak early stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal!

Not only that, but a profound piece of information also appeared in his mind.

Hand of Creation (Beginner): The host can, by means of their own will and consuming Origin Qi, create simple life forms within a small area (such as flowers, plants, insects, etc.). The strength of the created life forms is related to the host's cultivation level, willpower, and understanding of the laws of creation.

I can also create people now? Lin Shen was completely stunned.

This reward is too awesome!

Isn't this Sister Nuwa's signature skill?

Even though it's only beginner level and I can only create flowers and plants, this is still too much fun!

Lin Shen was so excited he almost jumped up.

He looked at his own chubby little hands, feeling like he had opened a door to a new world.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The Three Pure Ones watched as their own disciple touched Nuwa, causing her to break through to the middle stage of Primordial Golden Immortal on the spot.

Then they looked at themselves. After all their hard work cooking and making toys, they had barely reached the middle stage.

Their Dao hearts, which had been as firm as rock after cultivating for countless eons, shattered completely into chiaotzu filling at this moment.

"It's unfair..." Tongtian Jiaozhu murmured blankly, his eyes unfocused.

"Heavenly Dao is unjust..." Yuanshi Tianzun looked up at the sky, his life shrouded in darkness.

The Grand Pure One Laozi silently walked to a corner, beginning to doubt if he had chosen the wrong "Dao" from the very beginning.

Perhaps, he shouldn't have cultivated the path of "serenity and inaction."

He should have cultivated the Great Dao of "charming all beings"!

Just as the Three Pure Ones collectively fell into despair and began to question their lives.

Time on the peak of Kunlun Mountain seemed to be fast-forwarded.

After Nuwa settled in, the peculiar life of "four giants and one baby" on Kunlun Mountain officially began.

The Three Pure Ones, having learned from their painful experience, completely let go of their paltry pride.

They began to humbly learn from Nuwa, this "gold medal nanny."

Tongtian Jiaozhu stopped researching his terrifyingly unappetizing "dark cuisine."

Instead, he began to try making "baby meals" with cute shapes and light flavors, imitating Nuwa.

He even restrained his sharp Sword Intent, using it to peel fruit for Lin Shen and carve fruit platters into the shapes of small animals.

Although the Kirin he carved looked like a stray dog, and the Phoenix looked like a chick.

At least, he tried.

Yuanshi Tianzun no longer pursued artistic dishes of "ultimate Dao principles."

He began to research "stories."

Using his magic power, he created all sorts of shadow puppets and told Lin Shen the ancient legends of Pangu's Creation of the World and the war between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin.

Although his storytelling tone remained as flat and emotionless as ever.

Lin Shen still watched with great interest when he saw the lifelike little shadow puppets.

The Grand Pure One Laozi further utilized his own strengths.

He stopped refining those potent Nine Revolutions Golden Elixirs.

Instead, he began to research various flavors of "sugar beans."

Using the essence of a hundred types of Immortal Fruits, he refined "Nine Revolutions Fruit Candies" in strawberry, orange, and grape flavors.

Every time Lin Shen behaved well, he would kindly take out a candy from his embrace as a reward.

As for Nuwa, she became Lin Shen's closest "playmate."

She would accompany Lin Shen rolling around in the Hundred Herbs Garden, teaching him to recognize various exotic flowers and plants.

She would use the Qi of Creation to mold all sorts of small animals that could fly and run, playing with Lin Shen.

At night, she would hold Lin Shen and tell him bedtime stories about the stars, the sea, and all living things in the gentlest voice.

Under the all-around, no-dead-angle pampering and "involution-style" feeding from the four big shots.

Lin Shen's days were even more blissful than those of an immortal.

His daily tasks were simply to eat, drink, play, and have fun.

Nourished by all sorts of top-tier heavenly materials and earthly treasures and Origin Qi, his cultivation also skyrocketed.

Peak early Golden Immortal... mid-stage... late-stage... peak!

Early Grand Unity Golden Immortal!

Unknowingly, a hundred years passed in a flash.

Lin Shen's cultivation had already firmly entered the early Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.

As for Duobao Daoist, who guarded the gate, because he had been bathed in the Primordial Dao rhymes of several big shots and the occasional leak of Origin Qi from Lin Shen for many years.

He had also struck it rich.

Muddle-headedly, he broke through to early Golden Immortal.

The entire Kunlun Mountain presented a scene of prosperity and harmony.

On this day.

The entire Primordial World suddenly trembled violently.

A supreme and vast saintly might, transcending all laws, swept in from the depths of chaos beyond the nine heavens.

Purple qi came from the east for ninety thousand miles!

Golden flowers descended from heaven, and golden lotuses sprang from the earth!

Countless Great Dao laws transformed into tangible forms, weaving together in the air to form the most magnificent symphony.

All living beings in the Primordial World, regardless of their cultivation level or location.

At this moment, they all felt something in their hearts and unconsciously prostrated themselves in the direction from which the saintly might came.

"A Saint! A Saint has been born!"

At the peak of Kunlun Mountain, Yuanshi Tianzun, who was playing shadow puppets with Lin Shen, suddenly looked up, his eyes bursting with brilliant light.

"It's Daoist Hongjun." The Grand Pure One Laozi calculated with his fingers, a knowing smile appearing on his face.

"He succeeded."

Hongjun, had attained the Dao and become a Saint!

Just as everyone was immersed in the shock brought by this vast saintly might.

A plain yet majestic voice resounded in the primordial spirit and sea of consciousness of every living being in the Primordial World.

"I am Hongjun. Today, my merits are complete, and I have attained the position of Saint."

"In a thousand years, I will lecture on the Great Dao in Zixiao Palace, beyond the thirty-three heavens."

"Those who are fated may come and listen."

The voice faded, but the saintly might lingered for a long time.

The entire Primordial World was completely stirred up by this news!

A Saint lecturing on the Dao!

What an immense opportunity this was!

For a time, countless powerful beings awoke from their seclusion and began to find ways to search for the path to the thirty-three heavens.

And at this moment.

At the peak of Kunlun Mountain, before the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa, space rippled slightly.

The figure wearing a simple Daoist robe and with an ancient, unadorned face reappeared silently.

It was none other than Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who had just attained the Dao and become a Saint!

However, this time, his aura was completely different.

If before he was like a bottomless ocean.

Then now, he was the entire universe!

Every action and movement resonated with the Heavenly Dao, and his words manifested reality.

But when he looked at the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa, especially at Lin Shen, his gaze remained gentle, without any trace of saintly arrogance.

"Three fellow Daoists, fellow Daoist Nuwa." Hongjun bowed slightly to the four.

"This humble Daoist offers his greetings."
