Ideological Dispute
Faced with the questioning from Ancestor Hongjun.
The five members of the Sanqing Jieyin and Zhunti, Three Pure Ones and Zhunti, glanced at Luo Qing beside them.
This time, Luo Qing simply smiled and didn't offer any words of help.
In fact, Luo Qing was also surprised by Ancestor Hongjun's attitude.
Faced with his relentless pressure, Ancestor Hongjun remained unusually calm.
They seemed completely unconcerned about his divisive tactics.
"Could it be that now that they have Haotian and Taihua, they look down on the Three Pure Ones and the others they recruited halfway through?"
Luo Qing pondered Ancestor Hongjun's thoughts.
Zhunti and the other four noticed Luo Qing's attitude.
They immediately understood that this was their last chance to choose.
If they follow Master Hongjun's advice and choose to comprehend the path to Sage on their own.
Then Luo Qing would definitely not offer them any more guidance.
At this moment, the five of them were also very conflicted.
If one chooses to take a shortcut, Master Hongjun will surely be greatly disappointed.
What will their relationship be like in the future?
That remains to be seen.
However, they already possess the Primordial Violet Qi, which is the ticket to Sage.
If they were simply asked to give up, they would be unwilling to accept the shortcut to sainthood right before them.
This is Sage!
Looking at the conflicted Zhunti of Zhunti and the others, Luo Qing was not worried at all that they would refuse the shortcut to sainthood.
Can you figure it out on your own?
When the opportunity arises, one may attain enlightenment in three to five hundred years, or even several thousand years.
But if the opportunity doesn't come, let alone tens of thousands of years, it might only take a few dozen Kalpa Cycle.
They might not even get the chance to become saints.
Faced with the allure of reaching the realm of Sage, no one would choose the unknown and the long wait.
That was indeed what Jieyin and Zhunti were thinking.
They have been trying to understand for hundreds of thousands of years, yet they have gained nothing.
I'll have to keep reflecting on this; who knows how long that will take!
Jieyin gestured to his junior brother, Zhunti his teeth, speaking under immense pressure.
They bowed to Ancestor Hongjun.
"Reporting to the teacher, I have failed to live up to your expectations."
After saying that, Zhunti breathed a sigh of relief.
A final decision has been made.
From now on, my relationship with Ancestor Hongjun will probably only be a nominal master-disciple relationship.
Upon hearing Zhunti's choice, Ancestor Hongjun glanced at Zhunti and the other person with disappointment.
He sighed silently, and in his heart, he sentenced their Dao Path to death.
Then they turned their attention to the Three Pure Ones.
With Zhunti, Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian exchanged a knowing glance.
The three of them came here today behind the backs of Ancestor Hongjun, but in reality, they had already made their choice.
It's just that the choice is now out in the open.
They couldn't resist the temptation of Attain Sainthood.
Tongtian also bowed to Ancestor Hongjun, saying neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"Teacher, time waits for no one. We have a premonition that the sooner we achieve sainthood, the better."
This is my choice, and I hope you will grant it, Master.
"I hope the teacher will grant my request!"
Laozi, Yuanshi, Jieyin and Zhunti bowed to Ancestor Hongjun at the same time.
Ancestor Hongjun observed his five disciples for a moment, a fleeting look of disappointment crossing his eyes.
Unexpectedly, these were the three disciples he had chosen as his Direct Disciple, the Three Pure Ones.
They all prefer to take shortcuts rather than figure out the way to break through on their own.
Ancestor Hongjun withdrew his gaze from his disciples.
Looking at Luo Qing, he calmly said:
"You win!"
Luo Qing refused to admit it, laughing it off:
"Fellow Hongjun, you flatter me. I'm merely instructing your disciple."
"It's not like I'm trying to steal your apprentice."
Ancestor Hongjun fell silent, and paused for a moment as he turned his head away.
Although he didn't speak directly, Luo Qing heard the voice transmission of the Ancestor Hongjun in his ear.
"This shortcut to breakthrough is ultimately lacking in foundation, and in the future, it may not be able to compare with those who achieve sainthood through natural enlightenment."
Fellow Daoist, you should be cautious.
Luo Qing glanced at Ancestor Hongjun with genuine surprise.
Perhaps Ancestor Hongjun truly had no selfish motives and genuinely cared for the Three Pure Ones.
However, Luo Qing disagreed with this teaching method.
Without hesitation, Ancestor Hongjun, replying:
"Fellow Hongjun, you are overthinking it. We seekers of the Dao should have confidence in ourselves."
We are both pioneers, unparalleled in the Primordial Wilderness.
Do you believe that among our disciples, there will be anyone who can match our abilities in the future?
If you and I become Primordial Violet Saint, then what difference would it make whether these disciples are the strongest or weakest Sage, or whether their foundation is more or less profound?
Do you really believe that any of these disciples can surpass you or me?
In Luo Qing's view, if anyone in the Primordial Wilderness world could become a Primordial Violet Saint...
He and Ancestor Hongjun are definitely in the top tier; even Nuwa only has a tiny chance.
Long Ling, Huang Ting, the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin and Zhunti, and others.
They all appear to have extraordinary Foundation and possess the qualities of Sage.
There is a high probability that they will become Sage.
However, the chance of breaking through to Primordial Violet Saint is almost zero.
The methods for achieving sainthood were not significantly different for them.
If in the future Luo Qing and Ancestor Hongjun are able to surpass Sage Hongjun and Pangu.
To reap the ultimate fruit of the Great Dao.
The methods by which these disciples broke through their limits were also the same.
Given their level of cultivation at that time, it wouldn't be impossible for them to elevate their disciples' cultivation to the level of Primordial Violet Saint.
Ancestor Hongjun remained silent for a moment before responding softly, "Perhaps... you are right!"
"But you will never change!"
Luo Qing silently complained to himself.
Every Sage has his own unique Sage compass.
I will absolutely not change my mind because of a few words from others.
If there has indeed been a change, it certainly wasn't influenced by external factors.
Change only happens when you figure things out for yourself.
The private telepathic communication between Ancestor Hongjun and Luo Qing was unknown to outsiders.
Nuwa witnessed the entire process of the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin and Zhunti turning their backs to their teacher Hongjun.
Aside from Luo Qing, who was the happiest, Nuwa ranked second in terms of comfort.
Originally, after the Three Pure Ones Jieyin and Zhunti saints, they should have been the most steadfast supporters of Ancestor Hongjun.
After all, they have a master-disciple relationship.
But now that things have turned out this way, the master-disciple relationship is just a formality.
After the master-disciple relationship faded, the senior-junior relationship between Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones became more prominent.
Nuwa made up her mind to Jieyin a good relationship with the Three Pure Ones and Jieyin from now on.
After Luo Qing and Ancestor Hongjun ended their telepathic communication.
Luo Qing then turned his gaze to the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin and Zhunti three.
"You will be glad you made the choice you made today."
"My ideas differ from your teacher's."
Now your teachers are unwilling to guide you, yet you are eager to seek the Way and sainthood.
"Considering our past relationship, I certainly won't be stingy."
In the original timeline, did the Three Pure Ones and Jieyin and Zhunti Attain Sainthood through self-realization or by taking shortcuts?
Luo Qing tends to think that, consistent with his current choice, he took a shortcut.
Otherwise, how could Laozi have comprehended the Human Sect and attained enlightenment while in Human Race?
What a coincidence!
It is very likely that Nuwa secretly gave him guidance.
But this world is different.
Because the Primordial Violet Qi may no longer be rare in the future.
If the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin and Zhunti are delayed for too long...
This has prevented him from attaining sainthood for so long, and who knows when the secret of the Primordial Violet Qi will be exposed.
They might get overtaken.
If the order of becoming a saint is too late, the Saint Ascension Tribulation be more difficult, and there is a real possibility of failing the tribulation.
Luo Qing is still helping the Three Pure Ones and the Five People!
