The Supreme Being

"Yes, yes, I don't understand, I just broke through to the peak of Quasi-Saint!"

Tongtian pouted, his expression a little grim.

As one of the Three Pure Ones, he was always being lectured by his eldest and second brothers, which made Tongtian feel very uncomfortable.

Why should it be like this? They were all formed from one-third of Pangu's Primordial Spirit, and no one was inferior to anyone else.

"Eldest Brother, what is this bottleneck you speak of? I am also preparing to attempt the Saint Position. Tell us so we can discuss it!"

Yuanshi looked at Taishang Laojun and said.

Taishang Laojun had been attempting to reach the Saint Position for a hundred years but had still not succeeded.

And he, Yuanshi, had only just begun preparing to attempt the Saint Position.

"I believe there might be a problem with the method of Severing the Three Corpses and merging them to become a Saint that we have been cultivating!"

"I've tried merging the three corpses, but I've experimented thousands of times, and each time it felt like something was missing..."

Taishang Laojun said, frowning and pondering again.

Hearing Taishang's words, Yuanshi had a bad feeling.

So, next, he also attempted to reach the Saint Position.

According to Dao Ancestor Hongjun's method for becoming a Saint, one only needed to merge the three corpses to attempt the Saint Position.

Several decades later.

Taishang and Yuanshi looked at each other in confusion.

"You failed too?"

Seeing Yuanshi's expression, Taishang immediately asked.

"Yes, Eldest Brother. I feel that when merging the three corpses, it seems extremely chaotic and cannot achieve true integration."

Yuanshi said.

"Exactly! I feel the same way. Over these past decades, I have carefully considered it, and this method of merging the three corpses has a major flaw!"

Taishang Laojun said.

Having cultivated to his current level, he could already gain insights into his own cultivation methods.

The quality and flaws of a cultivation method determined how far they could go in the future.

"Eldest Brother, could it be that this method of merging the three corpses truly has a problem?"

Yuanshi's expression also changed, and he looked at Taishang Laojun, awaiting his answer.

Tongtian, standing nearby, also listened intently.

He was also cultivating the method of Severing the Three Corpses and merging them to achieve Sainthood. If his eldest and second brothers had encountered problems, there was no reason he would be spared.

"If my guess is correct, this method of merging the three corpses requires a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure to carry the three corpses. Otherwise, it's impossible to merge them and become a Saint!"

Taishang Laojun said.

"This..."

"Were we deceived by our teacher?"

Yuanshi and Tongtian's expressions were not good.

Especially Yuanshi, he had also experienced the inability to merge his three corpses.

With Taishang Laojun's explanation, he naturally understood.

Tongtian was somewhat dumbfounded.

He had just severed his three corpses and become a peak Quasi-Saint, and each time he had casually found an Innate Spiritual Treasure to carry his corpses. Now he was being told the cultivation method was flawed.

"Then... what do we do now?"

Tongtian quickly asked.

"It seems we must find a new opportunity to become a Saint!"

Taishang Laojun sighed.

Then, he stood up.

"Second Brother, Third Brother, I plan to travel the Great Desolation to seek a new method for becoming a Saint. Wait for my news!"

After speaking, Taishang Laojun transformed into a stream of light and headed towards the Great Desolation.

Time flowed by, and two hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside Fire Cloud Cave, a brilliant multicolored light shone.

The radiance of laws emanated from Hongyun at this moment.

Instantly, streaks of terrifying auras violently vibrated within Fire Cloud Cave.

"I... finally cultivated all five elements laws to the late stage!"

Hongyun opened his eyes and stood up from the Great Dao Cushion.

He was in a very good mood at this moment.

It had taken a total of three hundred and ten years, and all five elements laws—gold, wood, water, fire, and earth—had reached the late stage.

What a terrifying cultivation speed this was.

If anyone else knew, they would surely be shocked speechless.

Even top powers in the Great Desolation like the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa needed tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years to cultivate a single law to the late stage.

Moreover, they were cultivating Heavenly Dao laws, not Great Dao laws.

If they were to cultivate Great Dao laws, not only would they have nowhere to cultivate, but even if they did, it would require much more time.

But...

Hongyun had achieved this in just three hundred and ten years, a feat unprecedented in history.

However, Hongyun's Heavenly Dao Merit had also been significantly depleted.

Cultivating five laws and reaching the late stage in all of them within three hundred years could only be described as consuming Heavenly Dao Merit as easily as drinking water.

Currently, Hongyun had sixty percent of the Heavenly Dao Merit he obtained from Nuwa creating humans remaining.

"Next, I will attempt to break through to Foundation Establishment fifth level!"

Hongyun's expression was filled with excitement.

Once he succeeded, he would be equivalent to a Saint.

Saints were truly beings of supreme status in the Great Desolation.

Currently, in the entire Great Desolation... only Dao Ancestor Hongjun had achieved sainthood.

Originally, according to the original timeline, Nuwa should have become a Saint.

Unfortunately, she had provoked Hongyun, and thus her Saint Position was gone.

It was now almost impossible for her to become a Saint in the future.

Swish!

Hongyun waved his hand, summoning the gold element law.

A sharp aura emanated from the gold element law, which now resembled a colossal golden dragon soaring within Fire Cloud Cave.

Swish!

Hongyun waved his hand again, summoning the wood element law.

As the green wood element law appeared, the entire Fire Cloud Cave seemed to be filled with boundless vitality.

Simultaneously, on the ground of Fire Cloud Cave, some spiritual herbs began to grow at a visible rate.

It was like myriad plants coming back to life in spring.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Then, Hongyun summoned the water, fire, and earth element laws.

The light from the five laws instantly illuminated the entire Fire Cloud Cave, reflecting on Hongyun's face, making him appear incredibly mysterious.

"Merge!"

Hongyun roared again.

Immediately, a massive fruit appeared above his head.

It was the Mythical Grand Unity Dao Fruit.

The Mythical Grand Unity Dao Fruit had now grown to four meters tall.

An immensely powerful aura emanated from the Mythical Grand Unity Dao Fruit.

This aura was countless times more potent than that of the Three Pure Ones or Nuwa, like the difference between the ocean and a small river.

This was the foundation of his invincibility below the Saint realm.

"Combine!"

Hongyun roared once more.

The five laws instantly entered the Mythical Grand Unity Dao Fruit like five colossal dragons.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

The Mythical Grand Unity Dao Fruit grew at a terrifying speed.

Four meters one, four meters two, four meters three...

In just a few breaths, the Mythical Grand Unity Dao Fruit had grown by thirty centimeters.

But it still did not stop.

Four meters five, four meters seven, four meters nine...

Finally, after an hour, the Mythical Grand Unity Dao Fruit stopped growing at a height of four meters and nine, ceasing its expansion.

"Sigh, it seems I'm still a little short!"

At this moment, Hongyun felt his strength had increased significantly once more.

But, he still hadn't reached the Saint level.

His Mythical Grand Unity Dao Fruit had also not reached Foundation Establishment fifth layer.

Hongyun had a feeling that if his Mythical Grand Unity Dao Fruit could grow to five meters, he would reach Foundation Establishment fifth layer.

But in the end, despite being nourished by five laws, the Mythical Grand Unity Dao Fruit only grew to four meters and nine, just a tiny bit short.

However, even a sliver short meant he hadn't reached it.

Because once he reached Foundation Establishment fifth layer, Hongyun's strength would undergo a world-shattering transformation.

But now, it had only increased severalfold.

"It seems this Mythical Foundation Establishment fifth layer is a hurdle!"

"Only by continuing to push the laws of Devouring, Light and Darkness, Reincarnation, Chaos, and Five Elements towards completion can I nourish the Mythical Dao Fruit to Foundation Establishment fifth layer!"

Hongyun thought to himself.

But...

It wasn't easy to push these laws to completion...

Currently, he only had sixty percent of his Heavenly Dao Merit left.

Hongyun estimated that he could at most push one or two laws to completion.

After all, the further one progresses in law cultivation, the harder it becomes and the longer it takes.

If he were to use Heavenly Dao Merit to accelerate it, the consumption would naturally be very high.

"Eh?"

But just then, as Hongyun was about to continue cultivating.

Suddenly, his brow furrowed.

On the Innate Five Elements Banners he had set up in the Human Race territory, he had left a wisp of his Primordial Spirit.

At this moment, through his Primordial Spirit's detection, he found an old man with white hair and beard who had actually come near the Human Race territory.

"This... is Taishang Laojun!"

Hongyun immediately recognized Taishang.

Although Taishang had disguised himself as an ordinary old man at the moment.

It was laughable, but his aura couldn't fool Hongyun.

Whoosh!

Hongyun waved his hand and collected the Innate Five Elements Banners.

After all, with the Innate Five Elements Banners in place, it would be difficult for Taishang Laojun to even approach the vicinity of Shouyang Mountain in the Human Race territory.

Moreover, Taishang Laojun would need to comprehend the method of becoming a Saint next.

He would have to stay in the Human Race territory for a long time.

Comprehending the method of becoming a Saint wasn't something that could be done instantly.

Taishang Laojun would have to continuously travel among the Human Race, comprehending the original creation of the Human Religion, which would allow him to become a Saint. This was not a simple process.

If things went smoothly, it would take a hundred years.

If he remained stubborn and unyielding, it was not impossible that he wouldn't comprehend it for a thousand years.

Whoosh!

At the same time, Hongyun's figure flashed, turning into a stream of light, heading towards the Human Race territory.

Taishang Laojun's establishment of a religion to become a Saint would definitely earn him Heavenly Dao Merit no less than what Nuwa had received.

Hongyun did not want to miss out on such a massive amount of Heavenly Dao Merit.

Currently, to comprehend the laws of Devouring, Light and Darkness, Reincarnation, Chaos, and Five Elements to the perfect realm, he needed sufficient Heavenly Dao Merit.

In fact, Hongyun felt that even obtaining Taishang Laojun's Heavenly Dao Merit might not be enough.

By then, he would also need to obtain the Heavenly Dao Merit from Yuanshi, Tongtian, Jieyin, Zhunti, and others.

However, Hongyun hadn't figured out how to obtain this Heavenly Dao Merit yet.

But... he already had a plan on how to obtain this round of Heavenly Dao Merit from Taishang Laojun.

Human Race, Shouyang Mountain.

"Greetings, Holy Father!"

"Greetings, Holy Father!"

"Long live Father Hongyun!"

As Hongyun arrived, all three thousand Innate Humans gathered on Shouyang Mountain, bowing to him.

Back then, if it weren't for Hongyun, they wouldn't have been able to survive safely in the Great Desolation.

One had to know, the Great Desolation was filled with myriad races, dangerous beasts, and demonic beasts everywhere.

Among the humans, apart from the three thousand Innate Humans who possessed some magical power, the rest of the humans were just ordinary beings.

Even those three thousand Innate Humans would have been certain to die facing the demonic beasts and dangerous beasts.

Their magical power could only ensure they could hunt smoothly and kill wild beasts for sustenance.

But Hongyun set up the Innate Five Elements Banners, which established a sanctuary for the human race.

Now, after nearly a thousand years of development, the human population has grown from the initial eighty million to eighty billion.

Although eighty billion humans, in the grand scheme of the myriad races in the Great Desolation, were still a very, very small race.

At least, they were much more prosperous and powerful than before.

And all of this was thanks to Hongyun.

Therefore, the human race was extremely grateful to Hongyun.

In the hearts of the humans, Hongyun was also a supreme being.

Even the Holy Mother Nuwa, who created them, was far inferior to Hongyun in status.

"Everyone, rise!"
