World Advancement, Two Methods

Chen Tian was speechless for a moment...

Fine, the God-Slaying Spear and the others could be excused, but pulling out the Taiji Diagram, Pangu Banner, Four Swords of Zhu Xian, and the Merit Golden Lotus...

Were they serious? Forget the Six Saints Appointed by Heaven??

If Hongjun knew what Chen Tian was thinking, he would have flicked him on the forehead. Damn it!! He wanted to be a salted fish before, but since his origin couldn't compare to Laozi's, he couldn't upgrade. But now, with the Primordial Violet Qi from the Primordial era, his origin was irrelevant!

With this thing, who the hell would want the Six Saints Appointed by Heaven? Not me, anyway!!

"Dao Ancestor, there's no need for this..." Chen Tian swallowed, wanting them all. The God-Slaying Spear could wound saints! The Heaven-Suppressing Coffin was a renowned treasure of heaven and earth!

"Heh heh, Tian Chen, you might not know the power of this Primordial Violet Qi," Hongjun sighed and said with a bitter smile, "If one strand of this Primordial Violet Qi is present, origin and talent are completely irrelevant."

Simply put, he knew he couldn't upgrade before, so he might as well be a salted fish. The Heavenly Dao protected him anyway. But now that there was a way to be both a salted fish and upgrade, what was wrong with that?

One had to understand that obtaining the Primordial Violet Qi required enlightenment. By comprehending the Dao within the Primordial Violet Qi, one could reach a higher level!

After all, above the Saint realm, it was all about the Dao. To break through, one had to comprehend the Dao. Therefore, comprehending the Dao within the Primordial Violet Qi was crucial, especially the Primordial Violet Qi within the Primordial Pearl in Chen Tian's hand! This was Primordial Violet Qi from the Primordial era!!

"Hmm, alright." Chen Tian thought for a moment, then took out a strand of Primordial Violet Qi and gave it to Hongjun. "However, Dao Ancestor, to reach a higher level, the Primordial World must advance. Otherwise, no matter what you do, you won't be able to break through."

Hongjun nodded after hearing this. The Primordial World was also a world, and Hongjun knew this. On the edges of Chaos, countless small worlds were attached to the Primordial World, and some worlds streaked past the Primordial World like meteors.

Although the Primordial World was vast, it was still a world, equivalent to a level of a world. Now that the Heavenly Dao was complete, the Heavenly Dao had also advanced, gradually moving towards the Chaos level.

Therefore, if Hongjun wanted to break through, the Primordial World had to advance first. Otherwise, he couldn't break through, because the beings in a world could not surpass the Heavenly Dao.

To surpass the Heavenly Dao, one had to leave this world, just like ascension in wuxia novels, from a low-level world to a high-level world.

But the Primordial World was already very high-level, and Hongjun had a salted fish mentality. He didn't want to leave the Primordial World. After all, wasn't it wonderful to be the Dao Ancestor in the Primordial World? If he wanted to break through, he just needed to raise the level of the Primordial World!

"This matter requires further consideration..." Hongjun fell silent for a moment, then said, "There are only two ways to advance the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World: first, absorb other worlds, and then devour the origin of world Heavenly Daos; second, the more powerful beings there are in the native world, the stronger the world becomes!"

Chen Tian nodded. Indeed, there were only these two methods. The first was a bit cruel, as after devouring the origin of other worlds, that world would be ruined, and the beings within it would naturally die.

The second was to have more powerful beings in the native world! This meant that if there were more Saints in the Primordial World, the world would naturally advance, but this was the most difficult!

One had to know that in the original plot, there were only seven Saints. Did others simply lack talent and origin??

Not at all. They were all Three Thousand Mortal Guests, with no low origin or talent. The reason they couldn't break through was, firstly, Hongjun's Three Corpses Path was not perfect. Everyone thought that after severing the three corpses, one needed Primordial Violet Qi to become a Saint.

But Hongjun didn't tell them that after severing the three corpses, one could achieve Sainthood by merging the three corpses. This did not require Primordial Violet Qi at all. Instead, Primordial Violet Qi was considered chicken rib, even a fatal flaw!

One had to know that using Primordial Violet Qi to become a Saint would make one a Heavenly Dao Saint, a puppet of the Heavenly Dao. So, from this perspective, merging the three corpses to achieve Sainthood did not require Primordial Violet Qi, nor did it require the primordial spirit to be entrusted to the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao would still recognize you as a Saint!

And secondly, becoming a Saint was inherently difficult, unless one had great fortune and great perseverance. For others to become Saints? Impossible!

For example, Minghe! In the original plot? Seeing Nuwa creating humans, he also created them. For no reason, he created the Asura race. Thinking of Luohu's path of proving the Dao through killing, he also came to kill heaven and earth, and all living beings. In the end? He still didn't become a Saint, which greatly angered our great Minghe!

This guy wanted to become a Saint even in his dreams. Did he lack great perseverance? Talent? Low origin? Did he lack great fortune?

Not at all. His origin was not low. He was formed from Pangu's navel's dirty blood, with the accompanying Spiritual Treasure, the Twelve-grade Karma Fire Red Lotus for defense, and Yuantu Abi for offense. Didn't this prove his great fortune?

One had to know that when the Three Pure Ones took form, only the Grand Pure One Laozi had the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda. The other two had nothing. Nuwa had nothing. Fuxi at least had the Fuxi Qin. As for the Two Sages of the West? They were even poorer.

Furthermore, did Minghe lack great perseverance? Why did he learn from Nuwa to create humans? And why did he learn from Luohu to prove the Dao through killing? This was something others dared not do, but he dared!

So, the main reason Minghe couldn't become a Saint was his heavy malevolent aura, and of course, because he was formed from dirty blood.

As for the other Three Thousand Mortal Guests, over 80% of them had origins as Innate Deities and Demons, or at the very least, Innate Deities. Therefore, their origins were very high, they were just led astray by Hongjun!

"Dao Ancestor, this matter still depends on you. After all, with the Primordial Violet Qi, you can completely repair the hidden ailments left by merging the three corpses, and then teach the merging of the three corpses to the Three Thousand Mortal Guests. Their origins are top-notch, and they are the most likely to become Saints!" Chen Tian looked at Hongjun seriously and said, "As for post-natal beings, perhaps one in hundreds of millions of beings can become a Saint, but others cannot."

"Hmm..." Hongjun nodded. Indeed, origin was the most important. Without a top-tier origin, your future path would be cut off. For example, if Hongjun hadn't received this Primordial Violet Qi from Chen Tian, he would probably have been lying in the Purple Heaven Palace like a salted fish, sleeping.

Stop talking about effort being enough! If effort were useful, why would there be geniuses? To have children?

"Since that's the case, this disciple will take his leave first." Chen Tian stood up. His business was finished, and it was time to go.

"Choose a few of these Magic Treasures." Hongjun nodded, then looked at the Magic Treasures floating in the air.

"Hmm..." Chen Tian pondered for a moment, then took a few items: the Heaven-Suppressing Coffin, the God-Slaying Spear, and the Twelve-grade Destroying World Black Lotus. Then he asked, "Dao Ancestor, is Demon Ancestor Luohu dead yet?"

Chen Tian knew some secrets. It was said that when the Calamity descended, the protagonists of heaven and earth didn't die but were sealed by the Heavenly Dao in a certain space, with only a small portion outside.

"Not yet. Luohu has been exiled by the Heavenly Dao to the Demon Race Space. You don't need to worry about him coming out to snatch Magic Treasures," Hongjun said with a chuckle.

"Good, since matters have come to this, this disciple bids farewell."
