Saints and Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals of the Origin

Just burn more incense, that's all...

This is too simple!

"Mountain God, your words, Hongyun will keep them close to heart!" Hongyun said, bowing deeply.

"Alright, you may rise," Qin Yun said.

"When you have time, remember to promote my Mountain God Temple more. Strive to get more people to come here and burn incense," Qin Yun said with a smile on his face.

Qin Yun couldn't help but think to himself: If all the living beings in the Primordial World came here to burn incense, what a magnificent scene that would be!

It would probably be even more impressive than the Ten Thousand Immortals Paying Homage to the Sect of Interception in later generations!

Thinking of this, Qin Yun couldn't help but reveal a smile.

"The Mountain God's words, Hongyun will keep them close to heart!" Hongyun said.

Now, whatever Qin Yun said, Hongyun was completely convinced and had not a single objection.

Not long after, a sudden thunderclap exploded in the sky. All living beings in the Primordial World heard the rumble, and immediately, the Great Dao Heavenly Sound resounded throughout the Primordial World.

"I am Hongjun. I have now attained sainthood. In one thousand years, I shall preach the Dao at the Purple Cloud Palace outside the Chaos. Those with affinity may come to listen!"

This Great Dao Heavenly Sound was issued by Hongjun, and the entire Primordial World heard it clearly.

The internal space within Qin Yun's temple heard it as well.

Hongjun... has attained sainthood... Qin Yun thought to himself.

Hongyun also heard this voice, and he was lost in thought.

Hongjun attaining sainthood and being willing to preach the Dao was a massive opportunity for all living beings in the Primordial World. They were ecstatic, and all of them wanted to go to the Purple Cloud Palace to listen to the sermon.

Moreover, many living beings had already set off toward the Purple Cloud Palace.

After all, the Primordial World was vast, and traveling took time.

Qin Yun looked at Hongyun. In the original trajectory of the Primordial World, Hongyun would also go to the Purple Cloud Palace to listen to the sermon.

"Hongyun, will you... be going to the Purple Cloud Palace to listen to the sermon?" Qin Yun asked.

Hearing this, Hongyun was stunned. He hadn't expected Qin Yun to ask him this.

Qin Yun looked at him and spoke again, "If you want to go, then go."

It was just going to listen to a sermon; it was no big deal.

"However, if you go to listen to the sermon, be careful. Beware of the schemes of certain people," Qin Yun said.

Qin Yun was a transmigrator from Blue Star. He had read novels about the Primordial Era and knew the developmental trajectory of the Primordial world.

Hearing Qin Yun say this, Hongyun was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Qin Yun would say such a thing.

"In the Purple Cloud Palace, there are six Cushions. These Cushions correspond to six Saint Positions. These Saint Positions are the seats of the Heavenly Dao Saints," Qin Yun said.

"The number of Heavenly Dao Saints is fixed; there are nine Saints in total."

Qin Yun spoke this way because he regarded Hongyun as one of his own; otherwise, there would be no need to mention this.

This concerned Hongjun's schemes. Hongjun wanted to integrate himself with the Dao, become the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, and control the entire Primordial world.

Since Hongjun had such selfish motives, he would naturally lay out plans for his own schemes.

The six Saint Positions were naturally for Hongjun to bestow upon whomever he pleased.

"Mountain God, you..." Hongyun looked at Qin Yun, not quite understanding what he was saying.

"Hongyun, do you want to become a Heavenly Dao Saint?" Qin Yun asked.

Heavenly Dao Saint...

Saint...

In the Primordial world, who wouldn't want to become a Saint?

Hongyun looked at Qin Yun without answering.

Hongyun was also a great power, and he understood that cultivation was not easy. He was currently only at the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm, and even breaking through to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm was so difficult...

Wanting to become a Saint, how could it be that easy?

"Actually, besides the Heavenly Dao Saint, there is another existence, and that is the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin!" Qin Yun said.

"The Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin is at the same level as a Saint," Qin Yun said.

For the living beings of the Primordial world, many did not know of the existence of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin.

Firstly, Hongjun wanted to control the Primordial world and was unwilling to let the masses know of this realm's existence.

Secondly, those who had attained this realm were very, very few; there were almost none in the Primordial world.

Hongjun wanted to control the Primordial world and did not wish for variables to exist within it, and the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin was precisely such a variable.

The Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin was not restricted by the Heavenly Dao, whereas a Heavenly Dao Saint was restricted by the Heavenly Dao.

Not being restricted by the Heavenly Dao meant, to Hongjun, that they were difficult to control, and being difficult to control meant they were a variable.

Hearing Qin Yun say this, it was as if a door to a new world had opened for Hongyun, and he felt a surge of excitement.

There is a fixed number of Heavenly Dao Saints, only nine in total.

If one cannot become a Heavenly Dao Saint, then becoming a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin is not a bad alternative!

That was what Hongyun thought.

"Whether you can become a Heavenly Dao Saint depends on whether Hongjun is willing to grant it to you," Qin Yun said.

Hongyun thought to himself: I have no ties or relations with Dao Ancestor Hongjun; he probably wouldn't give me a position as a Heavenly Dao Saint...

Hongyun was a reasonable person.

"If you want to become a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin, you must rely on your own efforts," Qin Yun said.

Hongyun looked at Qin Yun and couldn't help but ask, "Mountain God, this path of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin..."

"It is difficult to walk!" Qin Yun said. "Extremely difficult!"

Hearing this, Hongyun steeled himself. He knew that wanting to attain the Dao was never going to be easy.

Just like his current struggle to break through to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, he already felt it was incredibly difficult.

It is not easy!

It is extremely not easy!

"However, walking this path still offers a sliver of hope," Qin Yun said.

Although the hope was slim, it was still hope.

Hongyun looked at Qin Yun, his eyes burning with expectation.

Hongyun also wished to attain the Great Dao and roam the world freely.

"Hongyun, if you go to the Purple Cloud Palace to listen to the sermon, will you sit on one of those six cushions?" Qin Yun asked.

Hearing this, Hongyun pondered for a long while before saying, "I do not know..."

The six cushions corresponded to the six Saint Positions; if given the chance, who wouldn't want to sit on one?

"I have already made it clear to you just now: besides the path of the Heavenly Dao Saint, there is also the path of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin. You should consider it carefully," Qin Yun said.

"Dare I ask, Mountain God, what is the difference between a Heavenly Dao Saint and a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin?" Hongyun asked.

Qin Yun nodded. "Mm, good question."

"A Heavenly Dao Saint can only cultivate up to the Heavenly Dao Realm and cannot progress any further."

"And the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin can continue to cultivate further upward."

"A Sage is bound to this world; as long as the world does not perish, they cannot die, but they can never transcend the Heavenly Dao of this world."

"A Sage entrusts their Primordial Spirit and true essence to the Heavenly Dao; as long as the Heavenly Dao is not destroyed, the Sage is immortal."

"The Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin is different. They exist outside the Heavenly Dao. They cannot borrow the power of the Heavenly Dao to recover Magic Power, nor can they rely on the Heavenly Dao for immortality. However, this realm allows for improvement; one can transcend the Heavenly Dao and even attain the Great Dao."

Qin Yun spoke thus, and Hongyun listened intently.

Listening to Qin Yun's words, a glimmer of light appeared in Hongyun's eyes.
