Zhunti and Jieyin: Becoming a Saint? We can become Saints too!

"This Preaching of the Dao is my last. The first time, I preached the way of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal; the second time, the way of the Quasi-Saint. This third time will be the way to become a Saint!" Hongjun said slowly.

As these words left his mouth, they struck like thunder. In Zixiao Palace, the three thousand guests let out gasps of astonishment.

Everyone's eyes were filled with fervor and longing. To become a Saint!

The entire Zixiao Palace was filled with a tense yet expectant atmosphere. The great cultivators held their breath, afraid to miss a single word from Old Ancestor Hongjun.

Each of them pondered in their hearts, wondering if they would be fortunate enough to glimpse the profound secrets of becoming a Saint. Saints are unbound by karmic connections; who wouldn't want to become one?

Hongjun began to preach. Auspicious light and radiant mist filled Zixiao Palace. His voice was like a great bell, and the Dao rhymes were boundless.

The Sanqing sat in the front row. Laozi's gaze was profound, Primordial Heavenly Venerate's expression was solemn, and Lord of the Heavens was eager and devout.

Behind them, Nuwa was elegant and dignified. Her eyes were filled with devotion to the Great Dao of Creation. She wished to become a Saint through the Great Dao of Creation.

Fuxi stood behind Nuwa. His heart's sole thought was that everything was for his sister.

Zhunti and Jieyin had compassionate expressions, but their eyes hid a sharp glint as they pondered how to bring glory to the West. It seemed that if they became Saints, the West would have hope.

In the blink of an eye, a thousand years passed. The preaching concluded, and the great cultivators slowly opened their eyes, still feeling unfulfilled.

Hongjun waved his hand and bestowed four strands of Primordial Violet Qi, which floated before the four individuals.

"May I ask what the teacher has bestowed?"

"This is Primordial Violet Qi, the foundation for proving the Dao and becoming a Saint!"

"With the aid of Primordial Violet Qi, one can prove the Dao and become a Heavenly Dao Saint!"

Hongjun laid his cards on the table, directly revealing the function of Primordial Violet Qi to the Sanqing and Nuwa.

He then sent a telepathic message to the four, telling them some secrets of the Primordial World. Currently, the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man in the Primordial World were incomplete, making it impossible to birth Saints.

Only by combining with the Dao and using Primordial Violet Qi could one become a Saint. The current Primordial World needed Saints to complete the Heavenly Dao, so the Primordial World needed them.

Primordial Violet Qi was a primordial spiritual treasure evolved from the primordial chaos energy at the beginning of creation, with infinite wondrous uses.

"You are my direct disciples, so I will tell you the truth. It is as you have thought: the Primordial World has the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man. These three paths are inextricably linked to the great god Pangu."

"This Heavenly Dao was transformed from the divine essence of Pangu's spirit, energy, and soul. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao is the fundamental operating principle of the Primordial World."

"Alas, when the heavens and earth were separated, the paths of Man and Earth were not manifest, and the Heavenly Dao was incomplete. I myself have merged with the Heavenly Dao to stabilize the foundation of the Primordial World."

"If the three paths are unstable, the Primordial World is unstable. If the Heavenly Dao is incomplete, the Primordial World will suffer. The Heavenly Dao needs Heavenly Dao Saints; the Primordial World needs Heavenly Dao Saints."

The Sanqing exchanged glances and nodded. The purple light then flowed into their bodies.

"Teacher, I have one question. When you were distributing the cushions back then, those Fierce Beasts were your doing, weren't they?" Nuwa said with a smile.

"Clever!"

"Then I understand!"

Nuwa smiled slightly, parted her red lips, and a gentle force drew the Primordial Violet Qi into her hand.

Afterward, Hongjun sent another telepathic message to the four, saying, "After the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man in the Primordial World are completed, your teacher will tell you the reasons for doing this..."

Seeing that they had no Primordial Violet Qi, Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged glances and nodded, preparing to put on a show.

The two of them stood up and threw themselves at Hongjun's feet, beating their chests and stamping their feet, crying out to the heavens:

"Teacher, our West is poor!"

"The Spiritual Veins of the West are all destroyed, and the land is devastated, with living beings trapped in suffering. We two are devoted to the Dao and wish to spread the Great Dao in the West, but we have no opportunity to become Saints. This is truly as difficult as ascending to heaven!"

Zhunti cried tears and snot, his voice choked with emotion, his appearance utterly pitiful.

Jieyin also cried alongside him, "Teacher, you are compassionate and pity all living beings. Please take pity on the West, considering our sincere hearts seeking the Dao. Even a sliver of hope would suffice, otherwise, the West will never have a chance to rise!"

"Teacher, the Dragon-Han Tribulation and the Conflict between Dao and Demon were fought in our West. Why is our West so miserable!"

Hearing this, Hongjun's expression stirred. Seeing that the duo from the West had a chance, they wailed even more intensely.

"Enough, enough!"

"Here are two strands of Primordial Violet Qi. I hope you will use them for the construction of the West!"

Upon hearing this, Zhunti and Jieyin immediately stopped crying. They took the Qi and repeatedly expressed their gratitude.

The other great cultivators looked on and thought, 'Damn, crying pitifully can actually get you Primordial Violet Qi?' Thus, some of the more flexible great cultivators began to cry about their hardships.

Hongjun became somewhat impatient. He gave Primordial Violet Qi to Zhunti and Jieyin because he owed a great karmic debt to the West...

"There are nine Heavenly Dao Saints, and I can bestow seven from my hand."

"Therefore, you and I have no fate!"

As soon as Hongjun finished speaking, all the great cultivators present realized one fact: the six individuals sitting on the foremost cushions had all received Primordial Violet Qi!

Behind them, Kunpeng's eyes widened in fury. He couldn't bear to listen to another word and stared intently at Old Ancestor Hong Yun in the distance.

"My chance to become a Saint!!"

Damn Hong Yun! If looks could kill, Hong Yun would have died ten thousand times already...

Beside Old Ancestor Hong Yun, Zhen Yuanzi felt deep pity for his old friend Hong Yun.

"Zhen Yuanzi, don't be sad. Perhaps the Saint position is not meant for me!" Old Ancestor Hong Yun waved his hand, showing no concern for the Saint position.

"This old Daoist still has the last strand of Primordial Violet Qi. Whoever is fated shall receive it!" Hongjun conjured the final strand of Primordial Violet Qi in his hand.

The Primordial Violet Qi swirled within Zixiao Palace, initially circling Shi Yu, who was leaning on his cane.

"Go, go, go~"

"Get away, I don't want you~"

Shi Yu raised his cane and struck the Primordial Violet Qi twice. The Primordial Violet Qi turned and flew away.

Shi Yu's actions shocked everyone present. He refused the Primordial Violet Qi that was offered to him? Was this truly squandering heavenly treasures?

Subsequently, after circling the great powers present a few times, the Primordial Violet Qi landed directly in Hong Yun's hand.

"Damn it, why!"

"Why? You, Hong Yun, abandoned your cushion and got the Primordial Violet Qi, but I, Kunpeng, did not!"

Seeing that Hong Yun had the Primordial Violet Qi while he did not, Kunpeng lost his composure and stood up, shouting:

"Dao Ancestor, you are unjust!"

Instantly, the great powers near Kunpeng quickly moved away, keeping their distance from him.

"Rumble~~"

A bolt of Purple Heavenly Divine Thunder struck down, and Kunpeng fell to the ground, severely injured...

Following this, Old Ancestor Hongjun then said:

"There are actually three paths to becoming a Saint!"

These words rekindled hope in the hearts of all the great powers present.

"To become a Saint through merit, to become a Saint by slaying the three corpses, and to prove Dao by force!"

"To become a Saint through merit requires immense merit, supplemented by Primordial Violet Qi, to ultimately achieve the Saint position!"

"To become a Saint by slaying the three corpses is the method by which this old Daoist became a Saint."

Upon hearing this, everyone listened intently. This was the Dao Ancestor's method of becoming a Saint.

"Slay the three corpses of one's own goodness, evil, and true self. Cognize oneself, cast aside distracting thoughts, achieve a pure Dao heart, and transform the human heart into the heavenly heart, bringing one closer to the workings of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, thereby comprehending the Three Thousand Great Daos."

"The final step in slaying the three corpses is the union of the three corpses, finding the true self, and achieving Primordial Chaos. This is because the three corpses are inherently part of the true self and cannot be severed."

"Only by truly cognizing the three corpses of goodness, evil, and self can one become a Saint!"

Compared to the Primordial Violet Qi required for becoming a Saint through merit, this path was more suitable for the beings of the Primordial World. Becoming a Saint through merit was a choice of the Heavenly Dao and required great fortune.

"As for proving Dao by force..."

Hongjun stopped speaking at this point.

Proving Dao by force, one proves the Great Dao. Only Pangu came closest to succeeding...

(This refers to the Great Dao Realm!)

It requires mastering the Three Thousand Great Daos. After becoming a Saint through the Three Thousand Great Daos, one transcends the Heavenly Dao realm. After reaching the peak of the half-step Great Dao realm, one contends with the true self of the Great Dao. If victorious, one becomes a Great Dao realm cultivator. If defeated, then...

"Dao Ancestor, why did you stop?"

A great power from below asked. After all, the first path, becoming a Saint through merit, was not feasible. Having another path would increase the chance of becoming a Saint.

"Only Great God Pangu has succeeded in proving Dao by force to become a Saint!"

(This refers to proving Dao to become a Saint, not the Great Dao Realm!)

As soon as the words fell, Zixiao Palace fell silent...
