Outside the Grand Hall of Mount Sumeru, Jieyin and Zhunti stood side by side, their Primordial Spirit spirits taking in the continuous Spirit Vein of the Western Land.
The once-broken Western ley lines have now been 90% repaired, with only the last remaining hidden danger in the Demon Abyss being resolved by Jiang Yun. Golden Aura of Merit condenses into clouds in the Western Region sky, signifying the rebirth of this land.
"Brother, our great wish is finally coming true." Zhunti stroked the Seven Treasures Tree gently, his eyes flashing with a complicated light, which was joy, emotion, remembrance, and relief.
Since the Dao-Devil War, the Two brothers vowed to revive the Western Region. Now, tens of thousands of years later, the once shattered Western World has regained its vitality.
Jieyin turned to look at Zhunti: "Yes, I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly."
Before the words were even finished, the Two felt a sense of unease.
Long confined in a cage, I have finally returned to nature.
When the mind is at peace, a higher realm naturally arises.
The Hongmeng Purple Qi within the two suddenly trembled violently, resonating with the Aura of Merit of the Western Land.
Jieyin laughed heartily, Jieyin the sky. "The time has come!"
Zhunti understood, and together with Jieyin, they rose into the air and stood above Mount Sumeru, the Two bodies radiating boundless light.
"Heavenly Dao is above!" The voice of Primordial World (Zhunti) Jieyin like a great bell, echoing throughout the primordial world. "I, Jieyin (Zhunti), have been wholeheartedly dedicated to reviving the Western World. Since establishing the Western Teachings, I have transformed the Earth Veins and Spirit Vein, restored the Vitality of the Primordial Desolation Earth, universally saved all sentient beings in the Western Region, and educated all living beings. Now that my Merit have been fulfilled, I hereby proclaim this to Heaven and Earth!"
Today, my vow is fulfilled; the path is complete!
In an instant, the Western Land trembled, and countless golden lotus flowers of Merit bloomed from the void.
The Jieyin Hongmeng Purple Qi and Zhunti Primordial Spirit within Jieyin and Zhunti completely merged, and the Heavenly Dao, sensing this, bestowed vast Merit, which transformed into a golden pillar of light that enveloped the Two.
On Kunlun Mountain, Laozi suddenly opened his eyes, his whisk moving without wind. "Those two in the Western Region... they actually became saints first?"
The Yuanshi Tianzun Venerable's expression was solemn. "They have revived the Western Region, accumulating immeasurable Merit. Their establishment of a religion and attainment of sainthood are a natural progression."
The Sect Master Tongtian's eyes flashed with sword intent. "Senior Brother, it seems we need to quicken our pace."
At the same time, Nuwa in the Empress Nuwa's Palace, Di Jun and Tai Yi in the Heavenly Court, the Twelve Ancestral Witches in the Pangu Hall of the Witch Clan, and all the great powers from all sides of the Primordial World sensed the pressure of the Saint coming from the Western Region.
Above Mount Sumeru, the Merit Golden Light gradually receded.
Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a smile, simultaneously forming a hand seal. "Three Corpses, return to your positions!"
The Three Paths Incarnation the Good Corpse, the Evil Corpse, and the Self Corpse emerged from the void and began to slowly merge under the guidance of the Dao of Humanity. The Three Corpses of the Jieyin transformed into a sixteen-foot- Karma Dharma Body, with Merit Golden Wheel appearing behind its head; while the Three Corpses of the Zhunti transformed into the Bodhi Dharma Form, holding Wisdom Sword.
"The Hunyuan is one, all laws return to one!" The Two shouted simultaneously.
The Three Corpses were completely united, Dao Fruit of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal was perfected at this moment.
The terrifying pressure of the Saint swept across the Primordial World, and all living beings involuntarily turned to worship the Western Region.
Jiang Yun and Kong Xuan stood in front of the mountain gate, feeling the familiar yet unfamiliar atmosphere, their eyes filled with joy.
"The teachers... finally succeeded!" Jiang Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
With Saint presiding over it, the Western Teachings was able to truly establish itself in the Primordial World.
After the strange phenomena subsided, Jieyin and Zhunti gracefully descended.
At this moment, the Two's demeanor changed drastically. They became solemn and dignified, Jieyin the Merit Golden Wheel slowly rotating behind their heads.
Zhunti was more reserved, but his every move exuded supreme majesty.
At this moment, everyone on Mount Sumeru rushed to the Main Peak to pay homage to their leader and celebrate his successful enlightenment!
"Congratulations, Master and Uncle-Master, on your successful attainment of enlightenment! May you enjoy eternal bliss and boundless longevity!" Jiang Yun and Kong Xuan arrived first and stepped forward to pay their respects.
Jieyin smiled gently, "Rise! Your success in attaining enlightenment this time is also thanks to the two of you."
Zhunti looked eastward, lost in thought, "Senior brother, the commotion of our ascension to sainthood has already alarmed the Three Pure Ones."
Jieyin nodded. "Laozi Daoist Laozi, you must have already gained some insight."
In fact, we did point him in the right direction...
As they spoke, the group walked into the main hall, intending to wait there for the others to pay their respects and offer congratulations.
Just as the Two Sages of the West had predicted, Laozi stood with his hands behind his back in the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain, his eyes brimming with Daoist energy.
"Establishing a teaching... educating..." Laozi thought to himself, "Master Hongjun established the Mystic Sect, Nuwa Creates Humans and they became saints, Jieyin and Zhunti the Western Teachings... So that's how it is!"
Yuanshi Tianzun stepped forward. "Brother, have you grasped the truth?"
"We've got some clues, but we need to examine them more closely. It should be related to education and moral guidance."
Upon hearing Yuanshi's question, Laozi slowly replied, "We, the Three Pure Ones, are the true descendants of Pangu Orthodox Lineage, possessing great Merit and Fortune. What we lack now is the power of education and guidance."
He frowned slightly. "I wish to travel to the Primordial Desolation Earth to find a race worthy of my teachings, and to pass on the wondrous methods of the Three Pure Ones."
Yuanshi and Tongtian, upon hearing this, were also intrigued. They exchanged a glance and said, "Then let's all travel around and seek our own opportunities!"
Having said that, Laozi didn't delay any longer and set off, his figure gradually fading away.
Only one sentence echoed in the hall, "Second brother, third brother, I will go first. When I find the foundation for establishing my religion, that will be the time for the Three Pure Ones to attain enlightenment!"
Laozi left Kunlun Mountain, transformed into an ordinary old man, and began to travel in the Primordial World.
He traveled through the Witch and Demon Clans in the heart of the Primordial Desolation World. Both races had their own cultivation systems, leaving little room for indoctrination.
He then traveled across the Four Seas and Eight Desolations, seeing all kinds of Innate Being. However, these Innate Being all possessed some kind of inheritance, which was more or less satisfactory. He knew that these were merely icing on the cake and could not serve as the foundation for establishing a religion.
On this day, Laozi passed through the Earthly Realm of the East Sea and suddenly felt something in his heart, casting his gaze in a certain direction.
He vaguely saw a Fortune Golden Dragon circling along the shores of the Shore of the Eastern Sea, connecting with the Human Race tribe.
He then remembered that it was Human Race tribe created by Nuwa.
By this time, the Human Clan had multiplied for countless generations and developed its own civilization based on the Martial Dao taught by Jiang Yun.
Laozi observed that some tribes wore animal skins as clothing, used stone tools, and even began to experiment with farming.
"A first-order, ignorant being, has undergone such a transformation in such a short time..." Laozi was secretly astonished.
What shocked him was that although Human Clan were individually weak, their learning ability and creativity far surpassed those of other races, and their reproduction rate was astonishing.
In a large tribe, Laozi met Huang, the leader of the Human Clan. Huang was already white-haired, but his blood and energy were extremely vigorous, indicating that he had considerable Martial Dao skills.
"Where did the old man come from?" Huang warmly welcomed the Laozi and ordered his men to bring fresh wild fruit.
Laozi accepted the wild fruit and laughed, "I've been traveling the world and just happened to pass by this place. Seeing your tribe so prosperous, I've become quite curious."
Huang proudly recounted the development of the Human Clan, repeatedly mentioning "Holy Father Jiang Yun" and "Martial Dao" in his speech.
Laozi noticed that whenever Huang spoke of Jiang Yun, his eyes revealed sincere respect.
"It seems Jiang Yun holds an extraordinary position among the Human Clan..." Laozi thought to himself. "If I were to establish a religion based on the Human Clan, I fear I wouldn't be able to avoid the hurdle of the Western Teachings."
