"This sermon will be my final one. The first covered the Dao of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal, the second covered the Dao of the Quasi-Saint, and this third one will cover the Dao of becoming a Saint!" Hongjun said slowly,
The moment these words left his mouth, they rang out like thunder, and the Three Thousand Guests in Zixiao Palace let out waves of astonished cries.
Their eyes burned with passion and longing. Becoming a Saint!
The entire Zixiao Palace was filled with a tense yet expectant atmosphere. The mighty figures all held their breaths, afraid of missing a single word from Old Ancestor Hongjun.
They secretly pondered in their hearts whether they would be fortunate enough to glimpse the secrets of becoming a Saint this time. Saints were untouched by karmic connections—who did not want to become a Saint?
Hongjun began preaching. Auspicious light and radiant clouds filled Zixiao Palace, while his voice rang like a great bell, overflowing with Dao Rhyme.
Sanqing sat upright in the front row. Laozi's gaze was deep, Primordial Heavenly Venerate's expression solemn, and Lord of the Heavens fervent and devout.
Behind them, Nuwa was graceful and dignified, her eyes filled with an unwavering devotion to the Great Dao of Creation. She wanted to become a Saint through the Great Dao of Creation,
Fuxi stood behind Nuwa. He had only one thought in his heart: everything was for his younger sister.
Zhunti and Jieyin wore compassionate expressions, but sharp light lurked deep in their eyes as they pondered how to glorify the West. Once they became Saints, it seemed the West would have hope as well.
In the blink of an eye, a thousand years passed. The sermon ended, and the mighty figures slowly opened their eyes, still savoring its aftertaste.
Hongjun waved his hand and bestowed four strands of Primordial Violet Qi, which floated before four people.
"May I ask what this gift from Teacher is?"
"This is Primordial Violet Qi, the foundation for proving the Dao and becoming a Saint!"
"With the aid of Primordial Violet Qi, one can become a Heavenly Dao Saint!"
Hongjun had laid his cards on the table, directly telling Sanqing and Nuwa what the Primordial Violet Qi was for.
He then transmitted his voice to the four of them, telling them some secrets of the Primordial World. At present, the Primordial World's Heavenly, Earthly, and Human Daos were incomplete. Normally, Saints could not be born,
"Only by combining with the Dao or relying on Primordial Violet Qi can one become a Saint. The current Primordial World needs Saints to complete the Heavenly Dao, so the Primordial World needs you."
Primordial Violet Qi was an innate spiritual object evolved from the primordial chaos energy at the beginning of Heaven and Earth. Its wondrous uses were endless.
"You are my Direct Disciples, so I will speak frankly. Just as you thought, the Primordial World has the Heavenly, Earthly, and Human Daos. These three Daos are inseparably connected to Great God Pangu."
"The Heavenly Dao was transformed from the spirit among Great God Pangu's essence, energy, and spirit. Thus, the Heavenly Dao is the foundation of the Primordial World's operation."
"Unfortunately, when Heaven and Earth were created, the Human and Earthly Daos did not manifest, leaving the Heavenly Dao incomplete. I combined with the Heavenly Dao and stabilized the foundation of the Primordial World."
"If the three Daos are unstable, the Primordial World is unstable. If the Heavenly Dao is incomplete, the Primordial World suffers. The Heavenly Dao needs Heavenly Dao Saints, and the Primordial World needs Heavenly Dao Saints."
Sanqing exchanged glances and nodded one after another. The purple light floated into Sanqing's bodies.
"Teacher, there is something I do not understand. When the meditation cushions were assigned back then, those Fierce Beasts were your doing, weren't they?" Nuwa asked with a smile.
"Clever!"
"Then I understand!"
Nuwa smiled faintly and slightly parted her lips. A gentle force drew the Primordial Violet Qi into her hand.
Afterward, Hongjun transmitted his voice to the four of them again. "Once the Heavenly, Earthly, and Human Daos of the Primordial World are complete, I will tell you the reason for doing this..."
Seeing that they had not received any Primordial Violet Qi, Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged glances and nodded. They prepared to begin their performance.
The two rose and threw themselves at Hongjun's feet, beating their chests and stamping their feet as they wailed toward the heavens and cried out:
"Teacher, our West is poor!"
"The West's Spiritual Veins have all been destroyed. Everywhere is devastated, and its living beings are trapped in misery. The two of us wholeheartedly pursue the Dao and wish to spread the Great Dao throughout the West, but without the opportunity to become Saints, it is truly as difficult as ascending to Heaven!"
Zhunti wept so bitterly that tears and mucus streamed down his face, looking utterly miserable.
Jieyin also wailed from the side, "Teacher, you are compassionate and pity all living beings. In consideration of our sincere hearts devoted to seeking the Dao, please take pity on the West. Even granting us the slightest hope would be enough. Otherwise, the West will never have a chance to rise!"
"Teacher, both the Dragon-Han Tribulation and the Dao-Devil War were fought in our West. Why is our West suffering so much?"
At these words, Hongjun's expression shifted slightly. Seeing that the Western Duo had a chance, they wailed even more vigorously.
"Enough, enough!"
"Here are two strands of Primordial Violet Qi. I hope you will use them to develop the West!"
When Zhunti and Jieyin heard this, they immediately stopped crying. After accepting them, they repeatedly expressed their thanks.
When the mighty figures saw this, they were stunned. Damn, crying about how miserable they were could actually produce Primordial Violet Qi? Thus, some mighty figures with more flexible limits began crying about their own misery.
Hongjun grew somewhat impatient. He had given Primordial Violet Qi to Zhunti and Jieyin because he owed the West a great Karmic Connection...
"There are nine Heavenly Dao Saints. I can distribute seven positions."
If you think this book is good, please remember to add it to your bookshelf so you do not lose it next time.
"So you are not fated to be with me!"
The moment Hongjun finished speaking, all the mighty figures present realized one fact: the people seated on the six meditation cushions at the very front had all received Primordial Violet Qi!
At the back, Kunpeng's eyes widened with fury. He could not listen to another word and stared fixedly at Ancestor Hong Yun in the distance.
"My chance to become a Saint!"
Damn that Hong Yun! If looks could kill, Hong Yun would have died ten thousand times over...
Zhen Yuanzi, seated beside Ancestor Hong Yun, felt deeply sorry for his old friend.
"Zhen Yuanzi, do not lament. Perhaps this Saint position was never meant for me!" Ancestor Hong Yun waved his hand, completely unconcerned about the Saint position.
"I still have one final strand of Primordial Violet Qi in my possession. Let the fated one receive it!" The last strand of Primordial Violet Qi condensed in Hongjun's hand.
The Primordial Violet Qi circled through Zixiao Palace. At first, it hovered above Shi Yu, who was leaning on a cane.
"Go away, go away~"
"Get lost. I don't want you~"
Shi Yu raised the cane in his hand and struck the Primordial Violet Qi twice. The Primordial Violet Qi turned around and flew away.
Shi Yu's actions shocked everyone present. He had refused Primordial Violet Qi that had come right to his door? Was this what they called throwing away a treasure?
Afterward, the Primordial Violet Qi circled around the various mighty figures several times before dropping directly into Hong Yun's hands.
"Damn, why!"
"Why? You, Hong Yun, gave up your meditation cushion and still received Primordial Violet Qi, while I, Kunpeng, received nothing!"
After seeing that Hong Yun had Primordial Violet Qi while he did not, Kunpeng could no longer contain himself. He stood up and launched straight into an accusation:
"Dao Ancestor, you are being unfair!"
In an instant, the mighty figures near Kunpeng flashed away, keeping their distance from him.
"Rumble~~"
A bolt of Purple Heaven Divine Thunder struck down, heavily wounding Kunpeng and sending him crashing to the ground...
Immediately afterward, Old Ancestor Hongjun said:
"There are actually three paths to becoming a Saint!"
These words reignited hope in all the mighty figures present.
"Becoming a Saint through merit, becoming a Saint by slaying the Three Corpses, and proving the Dao by force!"
"Becoming a Merit Saint requires an immense amount of merit, supplemented by Primordial Violet Qi, to ultimately attain the Saint position!"
"Becoming a Saint by slaying the Three Corpses is the method I used to become a Saint."
At this, everyone could not help but focus intently. This was the Dao Ancestor's method of becoming a Saint.
"Slay your own good corpse, evil corpse, and True Self corpse; understand yourself, strip away distracting thoughts, cleanse your Dao Heart of all dust, transform the human heart into the heart of Heaven, draw closer to the operation of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and thereby comprehend the Three Thousand Great Daos.
"The final step of slaying the Three Corpses is to unite the three corpses, find the true self, and attain the Primordial Unity. After all, the three corpses are originally parts of the true self and cannot be severed.
"Only by truly understanding the good, evil, and self corpses can one become a Saint!"
Compared to the Primordial Violet Qi required to become a Saint through merit, this path was more suitable for the beings of the Primordial World. Becoming a Merit Saint was the choice of the Heavenly Dao and required great fortune.
"As for proving the Dao by force..."
When he reached this point, Hongjun stopped speaking.
"Proving the Dao by force means proving the Great Dao. The only one closest to success was Great God Pangu..."
(This refers to the Great Dao Realm!)
"One needs to master the Three Thousand Great Daos and become a Saint through the Three Thousand Great Daos, then transcend the Heavenly Dao Realm. After one's cultivation reaches the peak of the half-step Great Dao Realm, one must contend with the embodiment of the Great Dao. If one wins, one becomes a being of the Great Dao Realm; if one loses, then..."
"Dao Ancestor, why did you stop?"
A mighty figure below the platform asked. After all, the first path, becoming a Saint through merit, was no longer viable. Would having one more path not increase their chances of becoming Saints?
"To become a Saint by proving the Dao through force, only Great God Pangu succeeded!"
(This refers to proving the Dao and becoming a Saint, not the Great Dao Realm!)
As soon as these words fell, Zixiao Palace fell utterly silent...
