As soon as Dao Ancestor Hongjun finished speaking, Taishang Laozi was the first to speak, "May I ask Master, how can one become a Saint?"

"There are three methods to become a Saint. The best is to Prove Dao with Strength. Becoming a Saint by Proving Dao with Strength results in the strongest power.

However, precisely because their power is too strong, it leads to disharmony with heaven and earth. Ultimately, like Great God Pangu, they cannot escape falling.

Next is the Three Corpses Severing Method. First, sever the three corpses of good, evil, and obsession. Then, when the three corpses merge into one, one can Prove Dao and become a Saint.

However, the Three Corpses Severing Method also has a drawback, which is that it requires Innate Spiritual Treasures to host the avatars of the three corpses of good, evil, and obsession.

The least effective is Merit Sanctification. By performing good deeds beneficial to heaven and earth, one obtains boundless merit bestowed by the Heavenly Dao.

Even if one fails to sever the three corpses, as long as there is enough merit, one can instantly Prove Dao and become a Saint, but their power will be the weakest."

After Dao Ancestor Hongjun finished speaking, Taishang Laozi rose, bowed in thanks, and sat back on his cushion, closing his eyes without speaking.

Immediately after, Yuanshi Tianzun also rose, bowed, and said, "May I ask Master, how can the severed three corpses merge into one?"

"Find where your opportunity lies, merge with the foundation of the Great Dao, the Primordial Violet Qi, and you can Prove Dao and become a Saint."

Yuanshi Tianzun bowed in thanks, then sat back on his cushion.

Tongtian then stood up, bowed, and said, "May I ask Master, who can become a Saint?"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun waved his hand, and four streams of violet qi instantly appeared in the Purple Cloud Palace.

"This is Primordial Violet Qi, the foundation of the Great Dao bestowed by the Heavenly Dao. Those who obtain it can become Saints."

As soon as Dao Ancestor Hongjun said this, it didn't matter, everyone's eyes were fixed on those four streams of Primordial Violet Qi.

As Dao Ancestor Hongjun waved his hand outwards, the four streams of Primordial Violet Qi fell onto the heads of the Three Pure Ones and Goddess Nvwa respectively, and then disappeared.

"The Three Pure Ones are transformed from Pangu's three souls and are my direct disciples. In the future, they will spread the Profound School throughout the Great Desolate and can become Saints.

Nüwa was among the first beings to take human form after the creation of the world and possesses great destiny. In the future, she will have boundless merit added to her, and can become a Saint."

The Three Pure Ones and Goddess Nvwa couldn't help but show joy, and hurriedly rose to bow and thank Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

This made everyone in the Purple Cloud Palace break out in a sweat, especially the two from the West who also had seats.

But seeing that Dao Ancestor Hongjun had nothing further to say, Daoist Zhunti couldn't help but become anxious.

Daoist Jieyin even burst into tears, "My West is already poor and cannot compare with the East.

If the West has no Saint to preside over it, it will eventually turn into a barren land.

I implore Master to have mercy and bestow Primordial Violet Qi to protect the countless beings in my West."

Seeing the tearful Daoist Jieyin, Dao Ancestor Hongjun sighed and said, "Very well, these two streams of Primordial Violet Qi will be bestowed upon you.

Jieyin and Zhunti of the West, although without great opportunities, can create eight hundred side schools and can also become Saints in the future."

After speaking, another stream of Primordial Violet Qi appeared in his hand, and he casually waved it outwards.

"The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Dao is forty-nine, one is escaped, so that all living beings under heaven have a glimmer of hope.

This stream of Primordial Violet Qi is for you all to obtain based on your destiny. The virtuous can obtain it."

Immediately, this stream of Primordial Violet Qi shuttled back and forth in the Purple Cloud Palace, making everyone eager and rubbing their hands together.

If Dao Ancestor Hongjun hadn't been right there, they probably would have already drawn their weapons and started fighting.

Finally, this strand of Primordial Violet Qi landed directly on the head of Red Cloud Ancestor and disappeared.

This couldn't help but make Red Cloud Ancestor smile, and he quickly stepped forward to bow and thank Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun nodded, but did not explain why Red Cloud Ancestor was qualified to receive this Primordial Violet Qi.

He only said, "Thirty thousand li from here is a Treasure Distribution Cliff. It is a magic treasure that this poor Daoist obtained while traveling the Great Desolate back then.

Because the Heavenly Dao is incomplete and not perfect, after a thousand years, this poor Daoist will merge with the Dao to complete the Heavenly Dao.

Leaving these magic treasures behind would be of no great use, so today I will distribute them to you. You can obtain them based on your destiny."

Although they did not obtain Primordial Violet Qi, being able to obtain a few Innate Spiritual Treasures made everyone's faces light up with joy.

However, the gate of the Purple Cloud Palace did not open, and everyone looked at Dao Ancestor Hongjun with puzzled eyes.

They thought, Didn't you tell us to go to the Treasure Distribution Cliff to search for treasures? Why is the gate of the Purple Cloud Palace closed again?

Just as everyone was puzzled, Dao Ancestor Hongjun waved his hand, and a Taiji Diagram appeared in mid-air.

"Taishang Laozi is the first disciple of this poor Daoist. Today, I bestow upon him the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Taiji Diagram. This treasure was transformed from the Pangu Axe and can be used to suppress the destiny of a great sect."

Then he waved his hand again, and an ancient banner appeared in mid-air. "This banner is called the Pangu Banner. Today, I bestow it upon the second disciple of this poor Daoist, Yuanshi Tianzun.

This banner was also transformed from the Pangu Axe and can also suppress the destiny of your great sect."

Immediately after, four precious swords and a formation diagram appeared directly in mid-air.

The precious swords gleamed with cold light, and the formation diagram was filled with killing intent, giving people a chilling feeling.

"These are the Immortal Slaughtering Four Swords and the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram. They were the treasures of the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou back then. Their grade is also that of Innate Supreme Treasures, and they can form the Innate Great Formation, the Immortal Slaughtering Formation.

If a Saint sets up the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, it cannot be broken by less than four Saints. Today, this poor Daoist will bestow them upon the third disciple, Tongtian."

At this, everyone exploded. The Immortal Slaughtering Formation cannot be broken by less than four Saints. Doesn't that mean that Master Tongtian is invincible?

After all, Dao Ancestor Hongjun only bestowed a total of seven strands of Primordial Violet Qi, and the Three Pure Ones alone occupied three of them.

Although they could barely gather four Saints, would Taishang Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun stand by and watch four Saints attack the Immortal Slaughtering Formation?

Little did they know that several eons later, the ones who caused the four Saints to attack the Immortal Slaughtering Formation were indeed their fellow disciples, Taishang Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun.

Just as everyone was filled with envy, Chen Xuan, who was behind Tongtian, spoke.

"Grand-Teacher, the magic treasures of Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother can both suppress the destiny of a great sect.

Then, I wonder if Master's Immortal Slaughtering Four Swords and Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram can also suppress the destiny of a great sect?"

Hearing Chen Xuan speak from behind him, Tongtian couldn't help but immediately turn around and glare at Chen Xuan.

He was afraid that Dao Ancestor Hongjun would take back the Immortal Slaughtering Four Swords and the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram and replace them with another magic treasure.

However, Chen Xuan seemed to not see Tongtian's gaze and still stood in place, waiting for Dao Ancestor Hongjun's answer.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun did not hide anything and immediately said, "The Immortal Slaughtering Four Swords are weapons of slaughter. Their killing intent cannot suppress the destiny of a great sect."

"Grand-Teacher, does that mean that Master doesn't need to establish a great sect in the future?"

After all, without a treasure to suppress the destiny of a great sect, even if a great sect is founded, it will eventually crumble.

Since it will all end up being nothing in the end, isn't it unnecessary to go through so much trouble?"

Tongtian couldn't hold back any longer and quickly spoke to Dao Ancestor Hongjun, "Please forgive Chen Xuan's rudeness, Master. After all, he is just a child and doesn't know any better."

Dao Ancestor Hongjun shook his head, "He is much more sensible than others. At the very least, he knows to help his master and ask this poor Daoist for a treasure to suppress destiny."

After speaking, he waved his hand towards the air. A black light directly entered Chen Xuan's body.

This couldn't help but shock Tongtian, his face filled with anxiety.
