Tongtian Attains the Dao
"Bad Cat, now you either answer my questions honestly, or I'll return your stolen goods to their rightful owner."
"Who exactly founded the religion, enlightened sentient beings, and attained sainthood?"
Although there are some things Nuwa cannot be certain of, through Bai Chen of a religion, she can confirm that among the Three Pure Ones, Zhunti, and Jieyin, there is definitely someone who established a religion, proved the Dao, and became a saint.
"Yes!"
Because he was threatened by Nuwa, Bai Chen was very unhappy and therefore spoke very little.
"How could it be that all five of them established their own religions and became saints?"
Nuwa was greatly surprised upon hearing this. She had considered that some people could establish a religion, prove their Dao, and become saints, but she never expected that all of them could establish a religion, prove their Dao, and become saints.
Believe it or not!
Bai Chen, still sulking, replied irritably.
Seeing Bai Chen's attitude, Nuwa knew that what the cat said was likely true.
The Three Pure Ones Zhunti and Jieyin should all have established their own religions and become saints.
But if the Three Pure Ones, Zhunti, and Jieyin all established their own religions, attained enlightenment, and became saints, then wouldn't Nuwa, who created humans from clay and attained Heavenly Dao Saint herself, become an anomaly?
Nuwa was troubled!
In the blink of an eye, countless cycles have passed.
In the Kunlun Ruins Wonderland, the Three Pure Ones are currently using the Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation to comprehend and attain enlightenment.
Compared to Taiqing Laozi, who was still desperately trying to comprehend the opportunity to attain enlightenment, Yuqing Yuanshi...
Shangqing Tongtian has achieved complete enlightenment, understanding his opportunity to attain the Dao, and has cultivated the Upper Profound Clear Qi!
Shangqing Tongtian was considering whether to wait for his two elder brothers, Taiqing Laozi and Yuqing Yuanshi, to attain enlightenment together.
After all, if he, the third brother, were to attain enlightenment first, it would likely affect the reputation of his two elder brothers.
Just then, a shout came from the Purple Cloud Palace:
"Foolish! Having already grasped the opportunity to attain enlightenment, why not attain enlightenment and fulfill the mission of a sage!"
Dao Ancestor Hongjun of the Purple Cloud Palace, was furious. Wasn't he doing all this precisely so that Shangqing Tongtian could become the second of the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao to attain enlightenment?
As a result, Shangqing Tongtian actually thought of waiting for Taiqing Laozi and Yuqing Yuanshi to attain enlightenment together.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun Laozi that, given the current situation of the other party, even if Shangqing Tongtian Taiqing Zhunti, Taiqing Laozi might not have attained Jieyin.
Don't Dao Ancestor Hongjun thinks this way; he should thank his second disciple Yuqing Yuanshi, for the good deed he did.
According to the original Great Dao's Destiny, Taiqing should have Laozi preaching to the human race on Shouyang Mountain at this moment, transmitting the method of the Golden Elixir, so that he could gradually understand the opportunity to prove the Dao, establish Human Religion, and become a saint.
But what about now?
Because of Yuqing Yuanshi's admonition, Taiqing Laozi not only did not go to preach to the human race or pass on the method of the Golden Elixir, but he didn't even go to see the human race.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun estimated that, barring unforeseen circumstances, Taiqing Laozi would have to take many detours before visiting the human race to understand the opportunity to attain enlightenment.
Kunlun Ruins, a fairyland...
The rebuke from Dao Ancestor Hongjun was heard not only by Shangqing Tongtian, but also by Taiqing Laozi and Yuqing Yuanshi.
Taiqing Laozi and Yuqing Yuanshi were still wondering who had finally grasped the opportunity to attain enlightenment.
But the next moment, the two brothers subconsciously glanced at their third brother, Shangqing Tongtian.
In fact, both brothers knew that among the three brothers, the youngest, Shangqing Tongtian, had the highest aptitude.
"Tongtian, could it be that you have grasped the key to enlightenment?"
Taiqing Laozi asked a probing question, though he already had a general idea in mind.
Chapter 199 Reaching Tongtian and Proving the Dao (Please Read On!)
"My two elder brothers, I originally wanted to wait for you to attain enlightenment together, but Master Hongjun has already urged us."
"Tongtian must first attain enlightenment; may my two elder brothers attain enlightenment soon!"
Although Shangqing Tongtian had clearly understood the opportunity to attain enlightenment, he did not put on airs with his two elder brothers.
"Tongtian, congratulations!"
When Taiqing Laozi saw that Shangqing Tongtian had acknowledged it, he quickly offered his congratulations.
Although he was a little jealous that Shangqing Tongtian had realized the opportunity to attain enlightenment, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he thought that Yuqing Yuanshi was still with him.
"Tongtian, you have already attained enlightenment ahead of me. I will soon follow suit."
When Yuqing Yuanshi congratulated Shangqing Tongtian, he couldn't help but say a few words.
Yuqing Yuanshi has already grasped many opportunities for attaining enlightenment, and he feels that it won't be long before he can fully comprehend the opportunity for attaining enlightenment.
Upon Yuqing Yuanshi's words, Taiqing Laozi, who was listening in, felt awkward, because he had not yet realized his own opportunity to attain enlightenment!
Weren't the Three Pure Ones supposed to be good brothers?
One of you has already realized the opportunity to attain enlightenment and is about to do so; the other is about to realize the opportunity to attain enlightenment.
And his elder brother hadn't even grasped the slightest hint of the path to enlightenment!
Is this how you brothers act?
In truth Laozi, Taiqing was unaware that, according to the Great Dao's Destiny, he should have already understood the opportunity to attain enlightenment at this moment.
However, his good second brother, Yuqing Yuanshi, under the pretense of doing what was best for him, pulled him back from the path to enlightenment.
Having two brothers like these in this life, the path to enlightenment will be extremely difficult!
"Good!"
After bowing to the Shangqing Tongtian Purity Lord Laozi and the Yuqing Yuanshi Laozi, Taiqing Tongtian flew out of Kunlun Ruins and offered up the Hongmeng Purple Qi to pray to the heavens:
"By the Heavenly Dao above, I, Pangu Clan, have today cultivated the Shangqing Tongtian Upper Profound Clear Qi and shall attain sainthood!"
As Shangqing Tongtian finished speaking, boundless Upper Profound Clear Qi surged from his body, reaching all thirty-three heavens.
"The Great Dao is fifty, Heaven evolves into forty-nine, and man escapes to one."
I, Pangu Clan, am the Shangqing Tongtian, Direct Disciple of the Dao Ancestor, the Venerable Dao Ancestor of the Xuanmen Sect. I now establish the Xuanmen Sect, aiming to seize a glimpse of heavenly secrets, and call it the Mystic Gate Intercepting Sect!
Through this teaching, all beings in the Primordial World world who are destined may enter my fold. Protect yourselves, cultivate yourselves, and you may attain the Great Dao. The Mystic Gate Intercepting Sect is established!
Subsequently, Shangqing Tongtian established the Mystic Gate Intercepting Sect, intending to emulate the Dao Ancestor Hongjun in educating all living beings.
"Allow!"
As Shangqing Tongtian established the Interception Sect, even though the other party had established the sect ahead of time, Heaven still quickly bestowed upon them immense merit and fortune.
Half of the Merit and Fortune, upon descending, vanished and flew towards the Wa Saint Palace.
There was no other way; Bai Chen was the first to establish the doctrine, even though Bai Chen was suspected of extorting money.
It is an indisputable fact that Shangqing Tongtian followed Bai Chen's example in establishing his sect.
Bai Chen: As long as I'm fast enough and my lying posture is cool enough, and I just lie on the ground and don't get up, you can't do anything to me!
Shangqing Tongtian entrusted part of his Primordial Spirit True Spirit to the Heavenly Dao, and combined the Hongmeng Purple Qi with Merit and Fortune to transform it into the Primordial Fruit Status.
As the Primordial Dao attainment fruition entered the body of Shangqing Tongtian, purple qi enveloped the heavens, Golden Lotuses Springing from the Earth, ten thousand flowers bloomed, and countless auspicious omens gathered. This was the descent of a sage!
"Homage to the Saint Tongtian!"
All living beings in the Primordial World world praised Shangqing Tongtian, the third sage of the Primordial World after Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Sage Nuwa!
Purple Cloud Palace...
"It's a pity we don't have a supreme treasure to suppress the destiny of our sect!"
The Dao Ancestor Hongjun felt somewhat regretful about Shangqing Tongtian establishing the Interception Sect.
A major religious sect without a magical treasure to suppress its fortune is too prone to disaster.
"I hope Tongtian can form a bond with Bai Chen and learn some of Bai Chen's style."
Dao Ancestor Hongjun felt that Shangqing Tongtian had a fatal flaw: its nature was too similar to that of the Witch Clan.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun believed that if Shangqing Tongtian could learn a bit of Bai Chen's and Zhunti Jieyin's methods, and easily seize a few treasures to suppress the destiny of the sect, would the Interception Sect still lack such treasures?
Bai Chen: Dao Ancestor, this is slander. This great god never does anything by force or robbery.
This great master always argues with them using reason (the hammer) and virtue (the Heaven Measuring Ruler) to convince them. I either borrowed from them or they gave it to me voluntarily.
Kunlun Ruins...
"My Merit and Fortune have been taken by Bai Chen. Is it because Bai Chen was the first to establish a sect and enlighten all living beings?"
Shangqing Tongtian sensed the establishment of the sect's fortune, and Bai Chen took away some of it.
Although it's not much, only half a percent, it's still an indisputable fact.
"Truly enlightening all beings!"
Yuqing Yuanshi saw that Shangqing Tongtian established a teaching to enlighten all beings and attained enlightenment. His understanding of the mechanism of enlightenment was even more thorough.
However, he did not quite agree with the Shangqing Tongtian concept.
Wa Saint Palace...
A small portion of the merits accumulated by Shangqing Tongtian in establishing his religion and becoming a saint entered the body of Bai Chen, who was dozing on Nuwa's lap.
"Huh? Why is it that Shangqing Tongtian was the first to attain enlightenment?"
"Could the Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation be that powerful?"
Bai Chen opened his small eyes and muttered to himself in confusion.
According to the Great Dao's Destiny, after Nuwa attained sainthood, it was time for Taiqing Laozi to attain sainthood as well.
But now Shangqing Tongtian has cut in line and gotten ahead of Taiqing Laozi.
After hearing Bai Chen's mutterings, Nuwa first gestured for Jin Ning to take the other servants away, then inquired about the cat:
"Little White, what's wrong?"
"Shouldn't it be that Shangqing Tongtian was the first to attain enlightenment?"
