When will I become a Saint? The day the Buddhist Sect is destroyed!

"What is it?"

Seeing Yunxiao staring at him in astonishment, Sect Leader Tongtian raised an eyebrow. "It seems you have an opinion about my arrangements for you?"

"No, no!"

Yunxiao snapped back to reality, suppressing the urge to nod. She weakly argued, "Master, your disciple is just a little surprised. After all, Xuanming is still very young..."

"Since when does the cultivation world care about age?"

Before Yunxiao could finish, Sect Leader Tongtian waved his hand to interrupt her. "Isn't the path of cultivation always about the accomplished leading the way?"

"Besides..."

"Although Xuanming's cultivation is still weak, he was able to obtain the Primordial Violet Qi. What's wrong with you listening to him?"

"..."

Yunxiao, who had been somewhat self-righteous, was rendered speechless by his words. She could only force a bitter smile and nod in agreement.

What else could she say?

As the saying goes: "He who eats people's food has short hands, and he who takes people's gifts has soft hands!"

That strand of Primordial Violet Qi was still hovering in her Dantian. Facing Xuanming now, she felt psychologically inferior.

Fortunately, Xuanming didn't care about who to listen to. He cared about something else.

"Grandmaster, when will Eldest Martial Uncle become a Saint?"

"When will she become a Saint?"

Sect Leader Tongtian pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then asked instead, "Xuanming, when do you plan to make a move against the Buddhism in that world?"

"That depends on when Eldest Martial Uncle becomes a Saint!"

Xuanming spread his hands and sighed helplessly. "If Eldest Martial Uncle doesn't become a Saint, how can we attack Buddhism?"

"That place is a hornet's nest!"

"Once we make a move, Jieyin and Zhunti will definitely appear. It's possible that Taishang and Yuanshi will also join in."

"No matter~!"

Facing Xuanming's worries, Sect Leader Tongtian smiled dismissively. "With me, Daoist Brother, and Junior Sister here, what does it matter even if all four of them attack together?"

Saying that, before Xuanming could express his concerns, Sect Leader Tongtian continued to explain:

"Mainly, if you don't attack Buddhism, your Eldest Martial Uncle will likely have to wait for hundreds or even thousands of years to become a Saint."

"Huh??"

Xuanming was a bit confused. What did this have to do with anything?

What did his attacking Buddhism have to do with Eldest Martial Uncle becoming a Saint? Could it be that if he destroyed Buddhism, she would become a Saint out of happiness?

"Xuanming, do you know how we became Saints back then?"

Seeing Xuanming's bewildered look, Sect Leader Tongtian didn't rush to explain but instead asked with a smile.

"How did you become Saints?"

Xuanming frowned and pondered for a moment. If he remembered correctly, Tongtian and the others established the Renjiao, Chanjiao, and Jiejiao Sects. With immense fortune and great merit as their support, they seized the opportunity to cultivate their Saint bodies.

"That's right!"

Hearing Xuanming's narration, Tongtian nodded in agreement, a hint of reminiscence flashing in his eyes.

"Back then, Junior Sister Nuwa created humankind, which caused the Heavenly Dao to bestow great merit. As a result, Junior Sister surpassed us and became the second Saint, second only to Master."

"However, this also gave us some inspiration."

"Coupled with Master's subtle guidance..."

"In just a few short years, the three of us brothers successfully broke through and forged our Saint positions by relying on the merit and fortune gained from establishing the Renjiao, Chanjiao, and Jiejiao Sects."

"Even Jieyin and Zhunti became Saints by fulfilling the grand vows they made when establishing the Western Teachings."

Sect Leader Tongtian paused here and turned to look at Xuanming. "But now, whether it's the world we are in or the world in the future, the path of establishing a sect is no longer viable."

"Yet, this path is the simplest and the quickest!"

"So..."

"If we want your Eldest Martial Uncle to walk this path, we must first destroy a sect. Only then is it possible to succeed!"

"Is that so?!"

Xuanming understood and nodded in realization. If that was the case, it made sense.

Indeed!

Among the six Saints of the Primordial World, except for Nuwa who became a Saint through the merit of creating humans, everyone else, including the Three Pure Ones, became Saints by establishing sects.

This was also one of the reasons why Yuanshi Tianzun was so determined to destroy the Jiejiao Sect.

It couldn't be helped!

Sect Leader Tongtian's ability to fight against four opponents back then, or rather, in the future, was also greatly related to the Jiejiao Sect's immense strength.

Perhaps this is the power of faith mentioned in novels?

Xuanming touched his chin thoughtfully. He remembered that in novels, the reason why the main gods of the West attacked each other was for the believers in the lower realms.

How similar is this scene to the Journey to the West world?

Isn't the Journey to the West created by Jieyin and Zhunti meant to spread Buddhist teachings from the West to the East?

What for?

Believers!

Once they truly manage to expand their believers to the East, will their strength still be as weak as before?

"Grandmaster..."

Having thought of this, Xuanming didn't delay and quickly shared his speculations with Tongtian and the others.

"The power of faith?"

Tongtian frowned upon hearing this. After recalling carefully for a moment, he murmured hesitantly, "So that's the reason? I was wondering why my senior brothers were suddenly no match for them!"

"Yes!"

Journey to the West Tongtian beside him nodded in agreement. "Ever since the destruction of the Jiejiao Sect, my strength has indeed decreased significantly. I initially thought it was due to my injuries not having healed..."

"But that doesn't quite add up, does it?"

Seeing that Tongtian and Journey to the West Tongtian both agreed, Nuwa became somewhat restless. "Many people among the human race have my ancestral tablets. If we're talking about the power of faith, my strength should be the strongest!"

"This..."

Meeting Nuwa's confused gaze, Xuanming asked cautiously, "Grandmaster, when those humans usually beg for protection, have you stepped in to shield them?"

"..."

Nuwa's expression froze upon hearing this, and she was speechless for a long time.

Did she protect humanity?

She did!

But not much...

At least, when demons, monsters, and even Buddhism schemed against and slaughtered humans, she had not fulfilled her duty to protect them.

"So that's why!"

Xuanming spread his hands, not caring if Nuwa would become enraged, and stated directly, "Although humans still regard you as their mother, it's merely gratitude, not faith!"

"They would rather believe in the hypocritical Buddhism!"

"Why?"

"Because Buddhism will help them in times of crisis... even though those crises were caused by Buddhism themselves."

"But humans don't know that!"

"They only see who is good to them, who protects them!"

Saying this, Xuanming paused, then turned to look at the two Sect Leader Tongtians beside him, who were clearly sympathizing with Nuwa.

"Grandmaster, have you ever considered why your Jiejiao Sect, Chanjiao, and Renjiao, despite being Eastern sects and founded by Saints, were surpassed by Buddhism in the mortal world?"

"It's because they are too good at pretending!"

"You disdain to engage in deception, and you disdain to publicize what you've done, resulting in those fellows from Buddhism reaping the rewards."

"From today onwards, you, too, must change!"
