Chan Sect and Jie Sect Established, Primordial and Tongtian Become Saints

Because Laozi achieved sainthood, Li Yunjing's status greatly increased. Even Quasi-Saints would smile and act courteously when they saw him.

Li Yunjing truly rode on Laozi's coattails, becoming a familiar face among these important figures. He even met a few generous and easy-to-talk-to powerhouses from whom he managed to obtain some trinkets.

By the time Grand Pure Saint finished his sermon, Li Yunjing had already gone into complete seclusion for cultivation. He didn't even witness the second conflict between the Witch and Demon races, nor did he know that another great battle among Quasi-Saints had broken out.

At this moment, within the "Chaos Palace," Li Yunjing's cultivation had reached a bottleneck. The entire palace was filled with Chaos Qi, wave after wave. The power emanating from Li Yunjing was so immense it threatened to shatter everything.

If this palace hadn't been established by the Three Pure Ones through their divine arts, it would have already turned into ruins.

Above Li Yunjing's head, streams of vital energy pierced through the pervasive Chaos Qi, sending out concentric circles of energy fluctuations. Wherever these waves reached, the Chaos Qi was forced to retreat into the corners.

The surging power within Li Yunjing churned, and as various laws clashed, his pillar-like Golden Immortal laws began to disintegrate, melt, and transform into heavenly, earthly, and human flowers. His entire being—essence, energy, and spirit—underwent a complete sublimation.

The Five Elements Primal Qi returned to his body, his five internal organs were fully cultivated, and the Five Qi Returning to the Origin converged at his crown. The Three Flowers suddenly emerged from his forehead. With the Three Flowers manifesting, Li Yunjing immediately broke through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, becoming impervious to all laws and repelling all evil.

Grand Unity Golden Immortal meant immortality, eternal freedom across all time and space, transcending heaven and earth, and the ability to roam through the endless chaos. At this level, Li Yunjing had truly reached the pinnacle of immortality.

"Heaven and earth are all within a single heart; all methods are like thoughts, reshaping the universe."

The entire "Chaos Palace" reshaped itself according to Li Yunjing's will. The internal layout of the palace transformed into his preferred configuration based on his thoughts.

Upon ascending to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, Li Yunjing's strength increased dramatically. He comprehended the laws of the Grand Unity, gaining various incredible divine abilities beyond mere increases in power.

With this promotion, Li Yunjing immediately entered the mainstream powerhouses of the Primordial Desolation, no longer being an insignificant figure.

Since Dao Ancestor Hongjun began his lectures in "Zixiao Palace," hundreds of thousands of years had passed. Of the original three thousand guests of "Zixiao Palace," many were now dead or had disappeared. On the surface of the Primordial Desolation, apart from the Quasi-Saints who had advanced, there were likely only a little over a thousand individuals left.

Adding those who had advanced in recent years, the total number of Grand Unity Golden Immortals in the entire Primordial Desolation did not even reach ten thousand. With his promotion, Li Yunjing became a top-tier Grand Unity Golden Immortal. His divine abilities, magic power, and treasures were all top-tier in the Primordial Desolation. He had finally made a name for himself.

Calculating with his fingers, over a hundred years had passed since Laozi achieved sainthood.

Li Yunjing emerged from the "Chaos Palace," rode a auspicious cloud out of "Mount Kunlun," and returned to "Mount Wuyi." He tidied up his cave dwelling, collected spiritual tea and fruits, and then made a detour to the Human Race settlement.

In just a hundred years, the lives of the Human Race had become much better. At least, because of Laozi, the Witch and Demon races dared not slaughter the humans wantonly.

As for small-scale conflicts, those were unavoidable. Not to mention the Human Race, even the Witch and Demon races themselves frequently engaged in conflicts, resulting in countless casualties.

As long as the Human Race was generally safe and could preserve its lineage, and their suffering was reduced, Li Yunjing would be content.

Finally, he arrived at "Shouyang Mountain." Li Yunjing personally expounded on the Grand Pure Great Dao for the Human Race, teaching them more methods for survival, and then left with satisfaction.

Time flowed by, and another Kalpa passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, a pressure that shook the Primordial Desolation once again emanated from "Mount Kunlun."

"Heavenly Dao above, I am Yuanshi, disciple of Dao Ancestor Hongjun. I am one of the three divisions of Pangu's Nascent Soul. I now establish a sect, named: Chan Sect. I am: Primordial Heavenly Venerate!"

"Chan means enlightenment. Following the will of heaven and the desires of man, I shall elucidate the Great Dao, using the Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure 'Pangu Banner' to suppress the fortunes of the Chan Sect. Beings of heaven and earth, extraordinary and transcendent, may join my sect and receive the true teachings of Hongjun and Pangu. The Chan Sect is established!"

"Rumble!"

Primordial had achieved sainthood and become Primordial Heavenly Venerate. Overwhelming pressure spread throughout the Primordial Desolation, instilling awe in everyone's hearts. Simultaneously, many beings showed longing for the newly established Chan Sect, eager to travel to "Mount Kunlun" to seek apprenticeship.

Before countless beings could even rise, they were immediately engulfed by another vast pressure. A Saint had appeared, causing lotuses to spring from the ground and wondrous music to fill the air...

"Heavenly Dao above, I am Tongtian, a disciple of the Orthodox Xuanmen. I am one of the three divisions of Great God Pangu's Nascent Soul. I now also establish a sect, intercepting a sliver of heavenly opportunity, named Jie Sect. With this, I shall enlighten all beings, using the 'Immortal Slaying Sword Formation' as my sect's treasure. Within the Primordial Desolation, all living beings who are fated may join my disciples, protect themselves, cultivate individually, and attain the Great Dao. The Jie Sect is established, and I shall achieve sainthood. I am: Sect Master Tongtian!"

Sect Master Tongtian had also achieved sainthood!

After Primordial Heavenly Venerate and Sect Master Tongtian became Saints, they looked at each other and smiled. Now that all three Pure Ones had attained enlightenment, the entire Primordial Desolation belonged to them, the three brothers.

Below the Saints, all beings were like ants. They wielded the mighty power of heaven and earth. Every action they took carried the power of the Heavenly Dao. Their Nascent Souls were entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, becoming a part of the world's rules. From this point on, as long as the Heavenly Dao existed, Saints would be immortal.

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

On "Mount Kunlun," Taishang Laojun, Primordial Heavenly Venerate, and Sect Master Tongtian, the three Saints, let out hearty laughter that echoed through heaven and earth, lasting for a long time.

"Saints' Endless Life!!!"

Daoist Duobao, Holy Mother Jinling, Holy Mother Guiling, Holy Mother Wudang, Li Yunjing, and Winged Immortal from the Jie Sect; White Crane Boy from the Chan Sect; and the direct disciple Grand Master Xuandu, the Golden and Silver Daoist boys from the Human Teachings—everyone on "Mount Kunlun" prostrated themselves before the three Saints.

The entire Primordial Desolation was in turmoil!

First Primordial Heavenly Venerate, and then Sect Master Tongtian. Among Dao Ancestor Hongjun's disciples, four Saints had now emerged!

As more Saints appeared, the Witch and Demon races became increasingly uneasy. With four great mountains pressing down on them, everyone felt a sense of dread, and their lives grew more difficult.

The great decisive battle between the Witch and Demon races was drawing nearer. In another seven Kalpas, the time set by Dao Ancestor Hongjun would arrive, and the two races became even more frenzied.

Only by unifying the Primordial Desolation and obtaining its destiny could they have a chance to attain enlightenment. Only by having a Saint emerge from their own race could they control their own fate in the era of Saints.

The Saints' pressure lasted for three days, shocking all living beings. When the pressure from "Mount Kunlun" finally subsided, the gaze of countless beings turned towards the west.

When would Jieyin and Zhunti achieve enlightenment?
