A thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Laozi traveled to all the Human Clan, and by then the Golden Core Great Dao had taken root in people's hearts.
Many cultivators have used this method to break through the lifespan limit, and some have even entered the realm of Earth Immortal, far exceeding the Martial Dao limit of martial arts.
On this day, Laozi gazed upon the flourishing Human Clan, and a profound understanding began to arise in his heart.
"Human Clan... truly is the foundation of civilization," he murmured to himself. "My path is complete."
As soon as the words were spoken, Heavenly Dao seemed to sense it, and Purple Qi clouds filled the sky from the east, gathering auspicious omens.
Laozi Tzu rose into the air, his plain Daoist robe fluttering without wind, and the Hunyuan Taiji Diagram unfolded from his sleeve, Shrouding the Heavens the East Sea and the East Sea. All the cultivators of the Golden Core Method Core Qi the Human Race tribe resonated with the Taiji Diagram within their bodies.
Laozi Tzu's body was enveloped in pure energy that Heaven-Opening Merit, and a massive Merit Golden Wheel appeared behind his head. He proclaimed loudly:
"Heavenly Dao's will prevails!"
I, Taiqing Laozi, hereby Human Religion, based on the Human Clan, to transmit the Golden Core Great Dao, to enlighten all beings, and to enable them to understand the Heavenly Dao and follow the mandate of Heaven!
I regard the Taiji Diagram the treasure to protect our sect and suppress the Fortune! May Heavenly Dao bear witness!
In an instant, the Heavenly Dao descended with vast and Aura of Merit, instantly refining all the Hongmeng Purple Qi within Laozi's Laozi Primordial Spirit. The Three Corpses within his body also manifested, taking advantage of the opportunity to become a saint, and began the process of merging and unifying. As long as the Three Corpses originated from the same source, it was not difficult for Laozi to unite Three Corpses Unification. The fusion process lasted for a period of time without any major disturbances. In the end, Laozi achieved the perfected Hunyuan Dao Fruit and reached the Hunyuan Great Luo Realm!
All living beings in the Primordial World saw Purple Qi rising from the east for thirty thousand miles, and another Hunyuan Saint was born!
The extraordinary phenomenon of Laozi's ascension to Primordial World swept across the primordial world. On Kunlun Mountain, the Yuanshi Tianzun and the Sect Master Tongtian simultaneously opened their eyes, their faces beaming with joy. "Elder brother has become a saint!"
The two exchanged a glance and both realized the opportunity to become saints.
"Now that my elder brother has become a saint, how can we fall behind?" The voice of the Yuanshi Tianzun resounded Kunlun.
He emerged from the hall and stood silently in the void. "I am Yuqing Yuanshi, and I hereby establish the Chan Teachings to Expounding the Heavenly Dao’s Principles. With the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Pangu Banner, I suppress the cosmic Fortune. The Chan Teachings is established!"
The Sect Master Tongtian followed closely behind, four killing swords hovering in the four directions. "I am Shangqing Tongtian, establishing the Interception Sect here! Seizing the last vestige of life in the Heavenly Dao, I teach all without discrimination, using the Four Immortal Slaying Swords and the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation Diagram to suppress the Fortune. The Interception Sect is established!"
As the two established their own sects, in an instant, the Heavenly Dao bestowed merits, and the merits of their sects drew out the primordial merits within their bodies. The Primordial Purple Qi in their primordial spirits was completely refined, their three corpses merged into one, and they achieved the perfected Dao Fruit of the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Following Laozi, the Two them also successfully attained enlightenment, and a vast aura of Saint emanated from Kunlun Mountain, sweeping across the Primordial World.
In a single day, Three Pure Ones attained sainthood.
In just a few hundred years, six people— Nuwa, Jieyin, Jieyin, Zhunti, Laozi, Yuanshi Tongtian —successively attained enlightenment, leaving all living beings in the Primordial World in awe.
On that day in the Purple Sky Palace, all the disciples accepted by Dao Ancestor Hongjun have now attained enlightenment, instantly changing the situation in the Primordial World and ushering in the era of Saint.
In the Human Race tribe, everyone looked up at the Firmament and saw a vast expanse of Purple Qi, with Immortal Music swirling around them. Laozi's figure gradually faded into nothingness, leaving only a faint echo:
"I have already passed on the Golden Core Great Dao."
The future path of the Human Clan is yours to choose.
From then on, the Golden Core Great Dao was passed down through generations among the Human Clan, standing alongside Martial Dao as the foundation of the Human Clan cultivation.
Meanwhile, cultivators throughout the Primordial World slowly recovered from the shock of the Three Pure Ones' ascension to sainthood, and some thoughts flashed through their minds:
"The Hongmeng Purple Qi is truly the Foundation for Sainthood!"
"With the emergence of the Six Saints, the entire landscape of the Primordial World has been completely transformed!"
"The age of Saint has arrived; we need to emulate Saint."
"Now, only Hong Yun remains who has not yet achieved sainthood..."
For a time, many ambitious and capable individuals turned their attention to Wuzhuang Temple.
Inside the Wuzhuang Temple, the Ancestor Hong Yun sat on Prayer Mat, a wisp of Hongmeng Purple Qi flickering in his hand. His face was filled with sorrow, devoid of his usual carefree and playful demeanor.
Since his fellow Daoists Zhunti in the Western Region Jieyin, he has focused his mind on comprehending the Primordial Hongmeng Purple Qi in his hand, hoping to gain some insight and understand his own path to enlightenment.
However, so much time has passed, and today all Three Pure Ones have successfully attained enlightenment, but what about him? He has still gained very little.
He had obtained this Hongmeng Purple Qi from the Dao Ancestor for a very long time. In the early days after acquiring it, he diligently studied it and made some progress. However, after he had comprehended one-third of it, no matter how much he studied it, there was no further progress. It seemed that his connection with it was only this limited.
His feelings were somewhat complicated, a mixture of gain and loss.
At this moment, Zhenyuanzi walked over. Seeing Hong Yun's appearance, he frowned and said, "Hong Yun, don't let external interference affect you. Everyone has their own destiny. Why rush things?"
"How could I not be anxious!" Hong Yun suddenly looked up, her eyes bloodshot. "Back then in the Purple Sky Palace, the Dao Ancestor bestowed Seven Hongmeng Purple Qis, and now six of them have become saints."
If I fail to attain sainthood, this Hongmeng Purple Qi will be my death warrant!
Zhenyuanzi shook his head. "Then you can't force yourself to refine the Hongmeng Purple Qi. Judging from your condition, you're almost damaging your very essence!"
Hong Yun smiled bitterly, gazing towards Kunlun: "When the Three Pure Ones established their religion and attained sainthood, I clearly sensed a disturbance in the Hongmeng Purple Qi, yet I could never grasp that crucial opportunity..."
In a moment of desperation, he... alas!
Zhenyuanzi pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Perhaps you should change your approach."
Nuwa Creates Humans, the Three Pure Ones Jieyin and Zhunti revived the Western Region —all were acts of great Merit. You, however, spend your days in seclusion meditating, ultimately falling into a lower realm.
Hong Yun was taken aback, Hongmeng Purple Qi in his hand suddenly glowed faintly.
He looked thoughtfully to the east. "You mean..."
"Travel the Primordial World, seeking your path to sainthood." Zhenyuanzi nodded. "However, I think you could make a trip to Mount Sumeru before then; perhaps two fellow Daoists from the Western Region could offer you some guidance."
"Yes, fellow Daoists Jieyin and Zhunti should be able to give me some inspiration."
After listening to Zhenyuanzi's advice, Hong Yun couldn't wait to set off for Mount Sumeru.
At this moment the Two, many eyes were on Longevity Mountain, among which the most influential were Demon Master Kunpeng and Blood Sea Minghe.
Kunpeng once occupied the Prayer Mat in the Purple Sky Palace, but later lost Prayer Mat because Hong Yun gave up his seat.
Although the Prayer Mat had its own Karma and was not meant for him, Kunpeng could not see it that way. If Hong Yun hadn't offered him his seat, even if the Prayer Mat was not meant for him, couldn't he have forcibly created an opportunity?
If he persists until the appearance of the Dao Ancestor, then the seat can be determined, and he will also have a share in the Sainthood.
Putting all that aside, what he found most unbearable was that the Seven Hongmeng Purple Qis actually ended up in Hong Yun's hands.
Hong Yun giving up her seat caused him to lose his seat, and when the Foundation for Sainthood was distributed, he didn't get any but Hong Yun did. How could this be fair? He wouldn't accept it!
These days, with all the saints appearing, he felt a mix of emotions, and he often thought back to the scene from back then.
Now, the other six have all attained enlightenment, but Hong Yun has remained silent. It is truly a sign from heaven that the Hongmeng Purple Qi is destined to be unavailable to Hong Yun and should belong to Kunpeng.
Minghe shares the same goal as him. Minghe is the lord of the Primordial World Blood Sea in the primordial world. He is a reclusive man who focuses on cultivating the Slaughter Dao and the Blood Dao. He never Blood Sea unless necessary, but instead concentrates on comprehending the Dao within the Blood Sea and refining his Blood God Spawn.
His dedication to the pursuit of the Dao is unparalleled. The sight of the Six Saints appearing together greatly stimulated him, and the weight of the Hongmeng Purple Qi became tangible at this moment. As a result, he set his sights on Hong Yun, who had not yet made a move, and vowed to try and obtain the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
