The First Sage of the New Era
The powerful figures from all walks of life were shocked, seeing an unprecedented hope; this was no ordinary event.
They misunderstood the Dao Venerable.
Not only did it not suppress heaven and earth, but it also completely liberated them, opening up two paths for people to choose from. It can be said that it was comprehensive and meticulous in every aspect.
This immense scale is on a completely different level from that of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun; it's like heaven and earth, a world apart.
This has led many to wonder: why is there such a big difference between partners in the same Heavenly Dao?
"Damn! Thank goodness Laozi didn't leave, or I would have lost a fortune!"
Somewhere in the Eastern Wasteland, Qiangliang clenched his fist excitedly and spoke to Xingtian and Houyi beside him.
"It can't be that bad. Even if the suppression of heaven and earth is completely lifted, becoming a saint is still nothing compared to those beings who go to the True Realm, right?"
Xingtian raised a question, saying that he originally intended to go to the True Realm with Houtu, Zhurong, and others.
After all, we're all family, so I'm not alone or lonely; we can look out for each other.
But in the end, Qiangliang stopped him and stayed with him.
"What do you mean by 'becoming a saint'? 'Just a saint'? You're not even a quasi -Quasi-Sage yet, and you already look down on Sage?"
"Besides, didn't you listen to what Father God said? Going to the True Realm is a near-certain death journey; if you're unlucky, you might die on the way..."
"A loser like you with no luck would just be cannon fodder if you went there. I'm different; I'm born with great fortune, so I'm staying here for your own good!"
Qiangliang gave him a good scolding, saying that only by surviving could he contribute.
That passage was extremely dangerous, a life-or-death situation. Even if it meant nine lifetimes, he wouldn't want to try it. Life is unpredictable; one can't rely on luck. What if it happened to him?
"That's right. Those guys who ran away couldn't even survive in the Primordial World, yet they think they can rise to power in the Origin True Realm? I doubt it. Do they think everyone else is stupid?"
Houyi agreed, a sneer on his face, showing great disdain for the fleeing creatures.
Surely no one really believes that going to a higher world will guarantee success?
First, you need to have that ability.
"You're right, but what about the feud between the Witch Clan and Ling Xiao? If we settle it now, we'll only face death."
Xingtian said with a worried expression that this was a large part of the reason he didn't want to stay in the Primordial World.
"Sigh..." Qiangliang waved his hand with a smile and said, "With Ling Xiao's current status and position, why would he take us seriously?"
"Ling Xiao killed my people back then, but Houtu caused a great disaster in return. So, we've already settled our scores."
"Besides, even the Father God hasn't said anything, so how can we hold onto our hatred? Wouldn't that be going against the Father God?"
Qiangliang, with a clear head, unilaterally announced that he had forgiven Ling Xiao, and that everything was even.
"That may be true, but I have a feeling that Lord Houtu and Lord Zhurong will not let this go easily. What if they return stronger? How will we face them?" Xingtian continued.
"Then let's pray they don't get stronger."
Qiangliang shrugged, seemingly unconcerned, then patted Xingtian on the shoulder and said:
"Further words are useless. The most important thing now is to attain the Primordial Origin Dao. There are limited spots available, so it's first come, first served. We need to hurry."
On the Three Immortal Islands, five fairies— Three Xiao Sisters, Holy Mother Jin Ling, Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit, and Sanxiao—were playing musical instruments and singing.
They stayed and did not leave the Primordial World.
"My four sisters, as those close to the Dao Venerable, we must not let him down and must set a good example!"
Yun Xiao, displaying the demeanor of a leader, gave instructions to the remaining four women.
"Of course. It might not be long before the Origin True Realm sends people to attack the Primordial World, so we must quickly achieve enlightenment and resist external enemies."
The Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit humbly echoed.
"My fellow beauties, are you preparing to Proving the Dao via Law and Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, or are you cultivating merit and virtue to become Heavenly Dao Sage?"
The Holy Mother Jin Ling spoke, showing her great interest in cultivation.
"Hehe, such a good opportunity, of course we should Proving the Dao via Law! The Dao Venerable Proving the Dao via Law. If you want to become as strong as him, you must cultivate the laws."
Bixiao smiled radiantly and said that she understood the laws of life and was now in the mid-stage of the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal. As long as she mastered them further, she could attain the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.
"That's easy to say. Even if the Heavenly Dao no longer suppresses heaven and earth, it's probably not that easy to comprehend the Proving the Dao via Law. Otherwise, how could there be Heavenly Dao Sage?"
Qiong Xiao said wisely, dressed in a purple fairy dress, as beautiful as a fairy in a painting.
The women then engaged in a heated discussion about the matter.
On the Human Race land of Mount Shouyang, a group of powerful individuals were inspired by the new rules of Heavenly Dao, and everyone was filled with excitement and elation.
Originally Fuxi, Green Lion, Baize, and others became Human Dao Saint, but later, because Human Path was devoured, they fell from their saintly positions.
Now the opportunity has come again.
This is perfect for the Human Race, especially for the Heavenly Dao Sage. They only need to perform good deeds to accumulate merit, and with each small act, they will receive blessings. Becoming a saint is not a dream.
Originally, given the Human Race's inherent talent and background, it would have been quite difficult to cultivate the Proving the Dao via Law. However, with the presence of Heavenly Dao Sage, it has become much easier.
This is not the same as the original Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao, who were all pre-selected and had no chance for others. But the world has changed.
The new rules of Heavenly Dao clearly state that as long as one does something beneficial to the Primordial World and performs one good deed every day, one will accumulate Heavenly Dao Merit. Once the merit accumulates, one's cultivation level will be directly increased.
This can save one from years of arduous practice.
Merit has a wide scope; whether it is tangible or intangible influence, it can all bring merit.
Therefore, after Ling Xiao's decree was proclaimed to the world, Human Race pondered how to accumulate merit.
Even those powerful individuals who had tasted the Yellow Plum couldn't contain their excitement.
Their cultivation was stuck at the Daluo Golden Immortal level, unable to advance an inch. They thought there was no hope in this life, but unexpectedly, an opportunity came.
"I hereby declare the establishment of the Shouyang Sect, to accept disciples widely, to teach all without discrimination, to treat all equally, and to enlighten all beings."
May Heavenly Dao bear witness!
Fuxi immediately declared to Heaven and respectfully made a vow.
It was very sudden.
As his vow was uttered, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Heavenly Dao roared, and golden merits poured forth, falling upon Fuxi.
Instantly, golden light shone brightly, Fuxi, who was already Quasi-Sage, saw his cultivation level increase rapidly, and his aura surged wildly.
Then, under the horrified gazes of all living beings in heaven and earth, a faint holy might emanated, and strange phenomena descended from the sky, rising and falling endlessly.
Fuxi became a sage!
He became a saint just like that!
Everyone was stunned, speechless, and filled with shock and a sense of absurdity.
This Sage was made too hastily and casually; it feels very unreal.
Fuxi himself was completely bewildered; he had only intended to give it a try and had no high hopes.
Unexpectedly, he not only accumulated merit, but so much so that he became a saint.
Incredible.
Do they have so much Heavenly Dao Merit that they don't know where to put it?
Ling Xiao, sitting calmly in the mysterious space, smiled slightly in response.
This is a reward for the brave.
Just because Fuxi dared to be the first to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, this Sage should be given a position.
