The Method of Becoming a Saint

Dingguang Immortal with Long Ears quickly said, "Senior Disciple Brother, what should we do now?"

Duobao's eyes gleamed with wisdom as he spoke, "Bai Jin's actions have proven that the path to sainthood isn't always an obscure matter. He can indirectly help Nuwa achieve sainthood, so why can't we? We can also figure out a method to become saints."

Qiu Shou Xian asked doubtfully, "Senior Disciple Brother, what do you mean?"

Duobao said confidently, "Help Master and Martial Uncles find the key to becoming saints. As long as we can help Master and Martial Uncles achieve their Dao, Bai Jin will be completely suppressed by us."

Dingguang Immortal with Long Ears, Qiu Shou Xian, and Ling Ya Xian's eyes lit up. Brilliant! Senior Disciple Brother makes sense.

Duobao said sternly, "Think from now on! We must figure out the Dao paths for Master and Martial Uncles before Bai Jin does. We can't let him bask in the glory of Master and Martial Uncles' enlightenment anymore."

Dingguang Immortal with Long Ears, Qiu Shou Xian, and Ling Ya Xian all respectfully replied, "Yes!"

The three immediately closed their eyes, and Duobao waited quietly. Ever since returning yesterday, Duobao had been pondering how Master and Martial Uncles could achieve sainthood. He now had a general idea and had called them here to preliminarily test his thoughts.

After a long while, Dingguang Immortal with Long Ears suddenly opened his eyes and said joyfully, "Senior Disciple Brother, I've thought of the path to enlightenment for First Martial Uncle."

Duobao quickly said, "Speak quickly."

Dingguang Immortal with Long Ears immediately said, "First Martial Uncle's Dao is the Dao of Tai Chi. Tai Chi is the union of Yin and Yang. And First Martial Uncle is still alone now. Solitary Yang cannot grow. I think as long as we find a... no, we should find many Dao companions for First Martial Uncle, then his Dao will be complete."

Duobao's face darkened, and he reprimanded, "Shut up!"

Dingguang Immortal with Long Ears immediately shut his mouth sheepishly. I still think what I said makes sense!

Ling Ya Xian excitedly said, "I've thought of it too."

Duobao nodded, "You speak."

Ling Ya Xian excitedly said, "If Master and Martial Uncles join forces to occupy the Demon Court, attack the Wu Clan, subdue all the myriad races of the Great Desolation, and gather the luck of the Great Desolation upon themselves, they can naturally strive for the Saint realm."

Duobao shook his head, "No!"

Qiu Shou Xian suddenly thought of a terrifying idea and swallowed, saying with some fear, "I once heard that First Martial Uncle cultivates the Dao of Emotionlessness. Does he need to kill our Master and Second Martial Uncle, completely severing all emotions and desires, to achieve enlightenment?"

Duobao said irritably, "Nonsense! The Heavenly Dao is impartial, yet it benefits all beings. First Martial Uncle's Dao is like the highest good, which is like water. Water benefits all things without contention."

The three shook their heads, their eyes filled with solemnity. How could they help Master and Martial Uncles achieve enlightenment?

Dingguang Immortal with Long Ears said with a fawning smile, "Senior Disciple Brother, we are dull-witted and temporarily have no good ideas. Please, Senior Disciple Brother, point us in a direction."

Duobao said, "Empress Nuwa comprehended the Dao of Creation, created a race called the Human Race, gained the recognition of heaven and earth, and descended with merit, thus becoming a Saint."

Dingguang Immortal with Long Ears suddenly clapped his hands and excitedly said, "That's right! Empress Nuwa created a new race and became a Saint with the recognition of heaven and earth. Why can't Master and Martial Uncles do the same?!"

Ling Ya Xian asked doubtfully, "Do Master and Martial Uncles also have to create a new race?"

Dingguang Immortal with Long Ears said irritably, "Their Daos are different, why would they create a race? They should be creating other things."

Duobao nodded with satisfaction. Finally, they were getting to the point. He said, "Think carefully."

The three closed their eyes and pondered. Every time they came up with an idea, they would discuss it. A day and a night passed, and by the next morning, the four were still sitting in the valley.

Dingguang Immortal with Long Ears excitedly exclaimed, "A great pill! First Martial Uncle should use heaven and earth as the furnace, and all spirits as fuel, igniting the fire of the true spirit to refine an ultimate Saint Pill."

Ling Ya Xian also excitedly shouted, "I've thought of it too! Second Martial Uncle should use heaven and earth as the furnace, and all spirits as fuel, igniting the fire of the true spirit to refine an ultimate Saint Artifact."

Dingguang Immortal with Long Ears stared wide-eyed at Ling Ya Xian and said unhappily, "You copied me."

Ling Ya Xian raised his head and proudly said, "Not at all. I thought of it myself. You just said it a moment sooner."

Duobao laughed heartily, "Using heaven and earth as the furnace and all spirits as fuel is something no one can do for now. However, an ultimate Saint Pill and an ultimate Saint Artifact align perfectly with my thoughts. First Martial Uncle's Dao is alchemy, Second Martial Uncle's is artifact crafting. Master should refine a Saint Formation that envelops the Great Desolation, and gain the recognition of heaven and earth to become a Saint."

Dingguang Immortal with Long Ears, Qiu Shou Xian, and Ling Ya Xian all showed excited expressions. That's right, it must be like this! The more they thought about it, the more it made sense. It was similar to Empress Nuwa creating humans, and there was a precedent!

Duobao's eyes also held a hidden excitement. He stood up and said, "I will go and pay my respects to Master and Martial Uncles now. Once Master and Martial Uncles achieve sainthood, you will all be great contributors, and becoming direct disciples might not be out of the question."

Qiu Shou Xian, Ling Ya Xian, and Dingguang Immortal with Long Ears all bowed respectfully and exclaimed excitedly, "We dare not take credit. It was all Senior Disciple Brother's idea."

"Haha~" Daoist Duobao laughed heartily and floated away.

Qiu Shou Xian, Ling Ya Xian, and Dingguang Immortal with Long Ears stood up and exchanged glances, their eyes filled with excited anticipation. Once Master and Martial Uncles achieve sainthood and they become direct disciples, they would definitely deal with Bai Jin properly. At this moment, their courage, which had been shattered earlier, swelled again.

Daoist Duobao stepped on an auspicious cloud and landed before the Taiqing Palace. The discussion among the Three Pure Ones had also concluded, and they had each returned to their respective palaces.

Daoist Duobao stood before the Taiqing Palace, suppressing the excitement in his heart. After today, Bai Jin would no longer be able to flaunt his power in front of me. Today will be the day my Duobao shines throughout the Great Desolation.

Duobao bowed respectfully and said, "Disciple Duobao seeks an audience with First Martial Uncle."

Inside the Taiqing Palace, Taishang's eyes showed confusion. Bai Jin had just left after paying his respects, so why was Duobao here again? He never came to pay respects!

Taishang said, "Enter!"

The palace gates slowly opened to the sides.

Duobao stepped into the palace and knelt on the cushion, kowtowing, "Disciple Duobao pays respects to First Martial Uncle. I wish First Martial Uncle early enlightenment."

Taishang smiled faintly and said gently, "Duobao, what brings you here?"

Duobao respectfully said, "Reporting to First Martial Uncle, ever since Martial Aunt Nuwa achieved sainthood, I have been unable to sleep peacefully, wanting to help Martial Uncle and Master achieve sainthood sooner."

Taishang chuckled, "It is rare for you to have such a heart, but achieving sainthood is not something that happens overnight."

Duobao bowed respectfully, "Disciple knows the difficulty of achieving sainthood, but with Empress Nuwa's enlightenment as a precedent, there is now a path to follow. After much thought, I have finally come up with a method to achieve sainthood and have come to report it to First Martial Uncle. I humbly ask First Martial Uncle to offer some guidance."

"Oh~" Taishang said with interest, "Tell me about it."
