Attaining Hunyuan Dao and Sainthood

Continuing from last time!

At this moment, the two on the field used their skills simultaneously. Haotian used the tower for defense, the sword for offense, and the mirror for interference. In the battle, he could only advance and not retreat. With a single sword strike, he unleashed boundless light.

Lord of the Clouds's attack methods are very direct, using the Heavenly Lightning Seal as a hub, and then unleashing a variety of Great God and minor divine powers simultaneously.

The two fought their way from the Azure Sea to the Three Islands and Ten Continents, and then fought their way back, finally venturing from reality into the River of Time.

The battle lasted for ten days and ten nights, but in the end, Lord of the Clouds emerged victorious.

Lord of the Clouds's accumulated experience was too profound, while Haotian was just starting out. Although he possessed several spiritual treasures, he was ultimately inferior in skill.

After the great battle, Donghua distributed rewards to everyone. Although there were many people, he was not impatient. Instead, he carefully distributed rewards to each person and made a note of them.

Thus, the competitions in all aspects of the Purple Mansion came to an end, lasting for hundreds of years.

But it ultimately became an indelible memory in the history of the Purple Mansion, and no one can forget this grand event in the Purple Mansion.

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, may I ask what brings you to the Purple Mansion this time?"

Inside the main hall of the Jingyang Palace, Donghua and three others sat comfortably, sipping tea and discussing philosophy.

Fuxi gave a self-deprecating smile and said bitterly, "Ever since the last battle, the Witch Clan has been eliminating our influence in Buzhou Mountain. At that time, my little sister was seriously injured, so I simply reduced my power and gave all those territories to the Witch Clan."

"Once my younger sister recovers from her injuries, we will completely relocate our forces out of Mount Buzhou. My younger sister and I don't want to stay in Phoenix Perch Mountain anymore, as it's surrounded by people from the Witch Clan, so we've come here to seek refuge!"

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Donghua would be willing to take me in?"

Donghua laughed and slowly said, "It seems that the Witch Clan has become incredibly arrogant after the last battle."

He then sincerely said, "It is an honor for Donghua to have you two fellow Daoists come to the Purple Mansion. Although the Three Islands and Ten Continents are not as blessed as Buzhou Mountain, they are still top-notch blessed lands. Fellow Daoists, please feel free to choose your cave dwellings. From now on, this will be another place for you two to cultivate."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony, I've set my sights on Yuanqiao Island!" Fuxi said casually, taking a sip of tea.

The five immortal mountains above the East Sea were actually one entity in ancient times, forming a vast world.

However, during the battle in which the Dragon Clan wiped out the Fierce Beasts of the Four Seas, the world was shattered and divided into five sacred islands and thousands of smaller islands.

Yuanqiao Island, the main battlefield of the battle, is now devoid of spiritual energy and shrouded in malevolent energy, making it unsuitable for habitation.

When Donghua was setting up the Myriad Immortals Formation, he specifically visited Yuanqiao Island, but ultimately abandoned the idea.

Because Yuanqiao Island is now just like the Western Continent, with damaged Earth Vein, thin spiritual energy, and scarce life forms, although it can be repaired, it's not worth the effort, so they just let it be.

Before Donghua could explain the situation at Yuanqiao Island, Nuwa spoke up:

"Fellow Daoist Donghua, it was actually my idea to establish a Daoist temple on Yuanqiao Island. Now that my Creation Great Dao has encountered a bottleneck, I wish to use Yuanqiao Island to rebuild a world, from the world itself to all living beings, from nothing to something!"

Upon hearing this, Donghua was stunned. The creation of the world, and then from the world to living beings—was Nuwa about to create humans?

He quickly asked, "Are you trying to create a new race?"

"Um?"

Nuwa was initially puzzled, but then her eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something, and she murmured:

"Is creating a new race the ultimate goal of the Creation Great Dao?"

"But I originally thought the highest realm of creation was to recreate Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and create a world."

"These two are very similar, yet they are worlds apart. So which path can Attain Hunyuan Dao?"

Upon hearing this, Donghua immediately realized that he had been overthinking things; Nuwa had never intended to create humans in the first place.

At first, it startled him; he thought Nuwa was about to attain Attain Sainthood.

But it makes sense, Attain Hunyuan Dao Nuwa's realm was still far from achieving the Primordial Chaos, so how could she have created humans and become Attain Sainthood so quickly?

To become Attain Sainthood, one must first Attain Hunyuan Dao; this is essential, otherwise it is impossible to Attain Sainthood.

Saint is the one who holds the position of Heaven and Earth, Act as Heaven's Emissary, equivalent to half of the Heavenly Dao.

The power of the Heavenly Dao is so vast that without the Hunyuan Realm, it is impossible to bear its power. At most, Quasi-Saint can only mobilize a portion of the Heavenly Dao's power, so how could one go directly from Quasi-Saint to Saint?

Therefore, Saint must be Hun Yuan, but Hun Yuan is not necessarily Saint.

These two are at the same level, but their social statuses are vastly different.

There are three ways to Attain Sainthood, as clearly stated by Dao Ancestor Hongjun of the Purple Sky Palace.

One way is to Attain Sainthood by Force, breaking the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, replacing the Heavenly Dao with one's own heart, and becoming the Heavenly Dao itself. This is the most difficult way. If one can succeed, one's strength should be equivalent to that of Hongjun has now merged with the Dao.

The second is to sever the Attain Sainthood by Three Corpses. By severing the three corpses, one can get closer to the Dao and become one with the Dao. Once the three corpses are completely severed, one's attachment to good and evil will no longer affect one, and one will become one with the Dao!

The third Attain Sainthood by Merit. This involves performing great deeds that benefit the Primordial World, accumulating a vast amount of merit, using the Merit Power to make up for any deficiencies, and finally mastering the Heavenly Dao Power to attain sainthood.

There are too many ways to Attain Hunyuan Dao. Three Thousand Great Daos can lead to the Hun Yuan. As long as your cultivation reaches that level and you can achieve the Hun Yuan Realm at will, you can Attain Hunyuan Dao.

Because the Dao is Hun Yuan, Hun Yuan is the essence of the Dao, primordial Hun Yuan encompasses everything and contains everything, Hun Yuan represents order, Hun Yuan is principle, is the Dao, is the great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

There are three thousand Great Daos in the Primordial Wilderness, so there should also be three thousand Hunyuan Position. But to truly be able to control one Great Dao and be the Great Dao itself is extremely difficult!

Since Donghua was born, he has been accompanied by the Pure Yang Great Dao. He has cultivated to the current Late Stage Quasi-Saint, but he still cannot master the Pure Yang Great Dao on his own.

If he had cultivated the Pure Yang Great Dao and attained enlightenment that day, he himself would be the Pure Yang Great Dao. Even if the world were destroyed and returned to chaos, Donghua would still exist, and all that would be needed is to recreate the world.

Other practitioners of the Pure Yang Great Dao are like sons to him; with a single thought, he can strip them of everything.

Because cultivating the Pure Yang Great Dao in the future is actually cultivating Donghua himself.

This is the Hun Yuan, true freedom and liberation!

"Fellow Daoist Donghua, what do you mean by creating a race? Myriad Races of the Primordial World arose in response to the times, each race is unique and conforms to the Dao, how could it be possible to create a new race?"

Nuwa pondered for a long time, but still couldn't understand what kind of race she could create.

Moreover, it's not a problem to ask her to create a being from nothing, but this being must have existed since the Primordial Wilderness of time.

"I do not know, but the so-called creation is to turn decay into wonder. If one can only create the world and existing living beings, it cannot be considered the ultimate creation."

Donghua didn't mention creating humans, and even if he had, it wouldn't have mattered. Nuwa couldn't do it now; creating humans isn't that simple.

Donghua had considered the matter of creating humans, but found that he simply couldn't do it.

He could indeed create life, but compared to the human race of later generations, he was simply incomparable.

Just like how the Styx Minghe created the Asura Race in later generations, although the Asura were born with great strength, their upper limit was already locked. At most, they could only become Grand Unity Immortals, and they could never become Quasi-Saint.

Humans are different. Although they are inherently weak, they have infinite potential. Theoretically, humans can Attain Hunyuan Dao.

Moreover, the time is not ripe yet. It is not the time for the human race to emerge. When the time is right, he will naturally point it out. This is due to good fortune, merit, and the favor of Nuwa.

Suddenly, Longbo, who was standing nearby, said, "I do know something about creating new races."

"In the beginning of time, a Daoist was born into the world, cultivating the Creation Great Dao and calling himself the God of Creation. This person was extremely powerful, no less than Qiankun Yin-Yang and others in the past. In the end, he died tragically on the Beast Emperor, and all his cultivation vanished. He could not even reincarnate."

"Back then, he tried to create new races. The Minotaur and Horse-Face races in the Primordial Wilderness are his creations. Unfortunately, their potential is very low. They couldn't even break through to the Grand Unity, like rootless duckweed."

"I wonder if the God of Creation's Dao has improved after creating these two races."

Upon hearing this, Nuwa frowned. She had heard of the Ox-Head and Horse-Face tribes, but she didn't know they were actually man-made. It seemed she would have to observe them further in the future.

"I will study the matter of creating races further. For now, let's focus on perfecting one world first. If that doesn't work, then we'll create races."

Nuwa stopped paying attention to this issue; what she needed to do now was to perfect her own Dao, starting with one world.

"Fellow Daoist Donghua, I have noticed that the Purple Mansion's army has been frequently mobilized recently, constantly practicing large formations. Moreover, many Grand Unity Quasi-Saint have been dispatched to inscribe formation patterns and inspect the Purple Mansion. Has something happened?"

Fuxi has been observing the operation of the Purple Mansion for the past few days, and he can see it very clearly.

Donghua smiled and said, "I would like to have some peace and quiet and cultivate properly in the Purple Mansion, but some people can't stand to see me doing well."

"These past few days I've been feeling uneasy. Using the Innate Eight Trigrams, I've discovered that the disaster will occur in the Purple Mansion. I suspect something big will happen soon, probably your former employer."

"What are your thoughts, fellow Daoists?"

Donghua looked at Nuwa, but Nuwa seemed not to hear him, drinking her tea and chatting with the West Queen Mother about what clothes to wear.

Helplessly, he looked at Fuxi again.

After observing the Purple Mansion for some time, Fuxi found that its operation perfectly matched his ideals.

Here, all races coexist peacefully, without racial conflicts. Even naturally hostile groups can live in harmony, and all struggles remain within reasonable limits.

"Since the last battle, my younger sister and I have become free men, severing all ties with the Heavenly Court. I am now solely devoted to the Innate Deities Fuxi, the Green Emperor of the Demon Clan."

Upon hearing this, Donghua laughed heartily. Fuxi's path had ultimately deviated from its original trajectory; whether this was for the better or worse was unknown.

But for Donghua, it's definitely a good thing!

"Our Purple Mansion is still lacking an Emperor Lord to rule over all spirits. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Fuxi would be willing to give it a try?"

Fuxi smiled, shook his head, and refused, saying, "The time is not yet ripe; I cannot take on this role."

Donghua was not disappointed upon hearing this; on the contrary, he was even happier.

Although Fuxi refused, his reason for refusing was that the time was not yet ripe, which also meant that the other party recognized the Purple Mansion, and there was much to be done about that.

"With enough skill, no corner is too big to dig down. Since ancient times, deep affection has been fleeting, but clever tactics have won people's hearts."

"Fuxi, you'd better come into my bowl obediently!"
