Zhenyuanzi Seeks the Dao, Meeting Zhunti Again
After parting ways with Zhenyuanzi, Cihang did not rush to leave, but instead sensed the changes in the surrounding world.
Although he spoke with great confidence, it was all just his deduction.
He also wanted to see if this method was truly feasible.
Zhenyuanzi trusted Cihang almost completely. After leaving the temple, he began to use the Earth Book to repair the Earth Vein.
Deepen the connection between the Earth Book and the Primordial World land.
The Earth Book was originally formed from the fusion of the Earth Fetal Membrane with an innate, indestructible spiritual treasure.
Its quality is so high that it even has the potential to become a Primordial Supreme Treasure.
Unfortunately, because the underground passage was suppressed, the Earth Book also lost the opportunity to be upgraded to Primordial Supreme Treasure.
As Zhenyuanzi continued to analyze the Earth Vein, the laws of the earth flowed into his heart.
Even the Earth Book has become more profound, with a mysterious aura brewing within it.
Zhenyuanzi originally didn't know what it was, but after Cihang's explanation, he understood.
That corresponds to the divine position of the earth god.
As the connection between the Earth Book and the earth deepened, the divine positions on it became increasingly clear, linking together the Earth Vein.
Zhenyuanzi also selected many cultivators with extraordinary talent, using the Earth Book to condense the Origin of the Great Earth, helping them to temporarily control the mountains and rivers.
Although they are not formal deities, their aura is connected to the Earth Book, allowing them to wield the Earth Power.
It can help Zhenyuanzi accumulate good fortune and merit, and also gather power over the land.
In the original timeline, Zhenyuanzi also used this method to Investiture of the Gods, and he was also known as the Ancestor of Earth Immortals.
However, the Earth Book has not been fully revived; neither the Earth Gods nor he, the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, are real figures.
But this time is different.
Once Zhenyuanzi has sorted out all the Earth Vein, the Earth Book will become the most precious treasure of the earth, and the position of earth god will be officially conferred.
When the time comes, with the power of the earth bestowed upon him, he may be able to awaken the earth's way in one fell swoop and attain the Saint Position of the earth's way.
Of course, this process is not easy.
The Primordial World land is vast, and it is not something that can be accomplished in a short time, given Zhenyuanzi's invitation to sort out the Primordial World Earth Vein.
The most difficult thing is the Calamity of Blocking the Dao at the moment of enlightenment.
But this was enough to make Zhenyuanzi happy, for he had clearly understood the way of himself.
Seeing that everything was going smoothly with Zhenyuanzi, Cihang then set off to return to Mount Luojia.
The path to enlightenment is fraught with obstacles, but with Zhenyuanzi's cultivation and strength, he is more than capable of overcoming these trials.
There's nothing to worry about before the official bestowal of titles upon the earth gods.
Before Cihang could leave the Longevity Mountain area, he encountered Jieyin and Zhunti waiting nearby.
"Cihang has Jieyin and Zhunti!"
Cihang stopped his escape light and respectfully bowed to the two of them.
"Fellow Daoist Cihang, there's no need to be so polite!"
Jieyin and Zhunti restrained the arrogance that belonged to saints and placed Cihang on an equal footing with themselves.
"Are you two saints here to await the arrival of Cihang?"
It is not that Cihang is arrogant, Jieyin and Zhunti here is absolutely not a coincidence.
"We two have indeed been waiting here specifically for you, fellow Daoist. If you have no urgent business, why not stay here for a while?"
Jieyin his hand and unleashed a beam of spiritual light, which caused a pavilion and stone table to appear on the mountain peak.
The once ordinary mountain peaks now exude a profound Daoist aura because of the sage's presence.
They had previously attached great importance to Cihang and had reached a deal with Cihang.
They asked Cihang to help them spread the gospel to the West, and in return, Cihang offered them protection at a crucial moment.
Their real goal was to have Cihang join the West.
Especially after Cihang passed on the Red Lotus World-Saving Path, he became even more determined to take Cihang to the Western Paradise.
But at that time they were not in a hurry and continued to observe.
But this time, Cihang 'Cihang actions revealed its true strength and potential to them.
The Western tradition originates from the Demon Ancestor Luohu, and also incorporates the original profound meaning of the Merit Golden Lotus.
Within the Demonic Path Inheritance, there is also the origin of the World-Ending Black Lotus.
It can be said that the Western Teachings's lineage and the Chaos Green Lotus have a profound Karma.
However, the only true treasures of the Blue Lotus that the West possesses are the Merit Golden Lotus and the Green Lotus Treasure Banner.
The initial interest in Cihang was perhaps partly due to Cihang's background.
But this time they discovered that Cihang possessed three of the four great lotus platforms of the Primordial World.
Putting aside how extraordinary Cihang's fortune is, with these three lotus platforms, the Western tradition can be further improved and enhanced.
Moreover, the Twelve-Grade Lotus Platform itself has the effect of suppressing the flow of fortune.
With the four lotus platforms gathered together, their effect in suppressing fortune is comparable to that of Primordial Supreme Treasure.
"Fellow Daoist Cihang's battle has greatly surprised me. Not only is your strength extraordinary, but your opportunities are also the envy of us all."
"Now, apart from us sages, I'm afraid no one in the Primordial World can rival you, fellow Daoist!"
As the spiritual tea and fruits were laid out, Zhunti exclaimed in admiration.
This time, he offered no flattery, but spoke from the heart.
At the same time, he was extremely grateful that he had decided to befriend Cihang from the very beginning.
"The sage praises you too much; such methods are hardly worthy of a sage's approval!"
Although Jieyin and Zhunti were trying their best to show goodwill, Cihang dared not relax in the slightest.
He has shown his potential, but compared to a sage, there is still a huge gap between him and a saint.
"Fellow Daoist is too modest. Even before we attained enlightenment, we were at most on par with you."
Fellow Daoist, the difference between us is only a wisp of Primordial Violet Qi!
Although Zhunti is now a saint, he may not have had the strength and resources that Cihang possesses now when he was a quasi-saint.
They were indeed ruthless in their pursuit of discovering the West, but they also genuinely respected and admired the strong.
"There are countless cultivators with extraordinary talent in the Primordial World, but there are only six paths of Primordial Violet Qi."
This Primordial Violet Qi is an insurmountable chasm for us!
Without the Primordial Violet Qi, my path will also stop at the Quasi-Saint level!
Cihang has a clear understanding of herself and will not let a few words of praise from Zhunti dampen her arrogance.
Indeed, without the Primordial Violet Qi, one cannot attain sainthood.
However, nothing is absolute. On that day in the Zixiao Palace, Dao Ancestor Hongjun spoke of the method of Proving the Dao by Severing Three Corpses.
Unlike those who attain enlightenment through merit, those who attain enlightenment through the Proving the Dao by Severing Three Corpses will be much stronger.
Moreover, once the Three Corpses Unity, one will already possess the realm and strength of a sage.
Lacking the Primordial Violet Qi, they simply cannot, like us, entrust their true spirits to the Heavenly Dao.
But in terms of strength, there isn't much difference!
Jieyin spoke, looking at Cihang with a meaningful gaze.
"The Saint Jieyin overestimates Cihang; the method of Proving the Dao by Severing Three Corpses is extremely difficult."
Let alone the Three Corpses Unity, even quasi-saints in the Primordial World could not sever their three corpses.
Only Di Jun managed to sever his three corpses with the help of his merits, but his cultivation and strength ultimately stopped there!
Cihang was genuinely surprised that Jieyin such a high opinion of him.
Jieyin is right. The Jieyin the Three Corpses Unity is indeed equivalent to a saint, but one cannot borrow the power of the Heavenly Dao, nor does one possess the power of immortality.
