The Two Sages of the West Attain Enlightenment and Sainthood

Ming Xin continued, "Two Masters, you may establish a sect and attain sainthood, teaching and transforming all spirits, guiding all races toward goodness; influencing heaven and earth, bestowing grace upon all things."

Then Ming Xin passed on the scriptures and texts of the Great Perfection Buddhism from his past life to Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti.

Ming Xin's words were like laying out a clear and stable Heaven-Connecting Great Dao before Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti.

In an instant, they were freed from the worry of being rejected when trying to prove the Dao as a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin, their goal clear, their Dao heart more steadfast.

Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, no words needed—millennia of tacit understanding had already made their intentions clear: this was the path!

The fire of wisdom burned in Daoist Zhunti's eyes. Combining Ming Xin's words with his own insights, he quickly refined the steps and declared, "Senior Brother, let us follow our disciple's plan!

First, establish a great sect, teach and transform all spirits, accumulate boundless merit, use this as a foundation to draw forth the Primordial Violet Qi, and prove the Heavenly Dao Saint Position!"

Daoist Jieyin nodded heavily, his expression solemn: "Exactly so. Establishing a sect gathers fortune, clarifies the Great Dao, and enacts teaching and transformation—it aligns with the Heavenly Dao and is also the direction of our grand vows."

They hesitated no longer, adjusting their states, deeply linking their aura with the elusive Heavenly Dao and the Primordial Violet Qi fused with their Primordial Spirits.

A vast, compassionate, yet covenant-like Dao resonance began to emanate from their bodies.

Ming Xin stepped back, holding his breath and focusing, knowing the most critical moment was about to arrive.

He could feel the system recording and analyzing every detail of this process of establishing a sect and attaining sainthood at full power—it held immeasurable reference value for his future path to proving the Dao.

The time had come!

Jieyin and Zhunti stepped forward simultaneously, their forms seeming to merge with the entire Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss.

Facing the Primordial World of heaven and earth, a grand Dao Sound resounded through the clouds, spreading to every corner of the Primordial World, carrying supreme resolve and vow-power:

"Heavenly Dao above, now I, Jieyin (Zhunti), feel the suffering of all beings, the sinking of the mortal world, the barrenness of the West, and the obscurity of the Great Dao. We wish to establish a sect, named—Buddha!"

The moment the word "Buddha" left their mouths, heaven and earth shook! This word seemed to contain endless wisdom, enlightenment, and transcendence—the condensation of Jieyin and Zhunti's Dao principles!

"Our Buddhist Sect shall teach and transform all spirits, Guide People to Goodness, illuminate the mind and see the true nature, and universally deliver all beings!

All who have a heart for the Dao, regardless of origin or birth, may enter our gate, cultivate the wondrous Dharma, and attain great freedom!"

"Our Buddhist disciples shall actively perform good deeds, comprehend heaven and earth, embrace compassion, and revere karma!

Above, embody the Heavenly heart; below, pity all things; cultivate in the mortal world, awaken amidst suffering!"

"I, Jieyin (Zhunti), wish to make a Great Vow, establish the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, open a realm of liberation for all beings, and vow not to become a Buddha until all beings are delivered!"

As the vows were made, massive golden pillars of vow-power shot up from Jieyin and Zhunti's bodies, straight into the nine heavens!

These vows were not empty words; they were solemn contracts made with the Heavenly Dao, using their perfected Golden Immortal of the Origin cultivation and the Primordial Violet Qi as a guide!

In an instant, the Heavenly Dao responded!

Above the nine heavens, wind and clouds changed color. Boundless Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi, no less than when Nuwa Becomes a Saint, poured down like the Heavenly River cascading!

Part of this merit rewarded their establishment of the sect, but an even greater part was the Heavenly Dao's "advance payment" for their Great Vow!

The vast merit, like a golden ocean, completely submerged the figures of Jieyin and Zhunti.

At the same time, Daoist Jieyin offered the Western Supreme Treasure—the Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit!

The golden lotus bloomed with ten thousand rays of golden light, spinning gently, hovering above their heads, absorbing, suppressing, and channeling the boundless merit and fortune!

Using this supreme merit treasure to suppress the fortune of the Buddhist Sect, its foundation was instantly stabilized, its fortune enduring!

Under the combined effect of boundless merit and Primordial Violet Qi, the auras of Jieyin and Zhunti began a fundamental transformation!

Their Dao Bodies, Primordial Spirits, and Magic Power were all leaping toward a higher level of life form!

A saintly might, surpassing all immortals, aligned with the Heavenly Dao, and indestructible through countless kalpas, slowly awakened and grew within them!

"Today, I, Jieyin (Zhunti), establish Buddhism, make the Great Vow, complete the merit, and prove the Dao to become a Saint! Henceforth, I am the Western Amitabha (Zhunti Buddha Mother)!"

Two saintly pressures, slightly weaker than when Nuwa Becomes a Saint but equally vast, representing the authority of the Heavenly Dao, erupted and swept across the entire Primordial World!

Heavenly flowers rained down, Golden Lotuses Erupting from the Ground appeared again. In the West, Buddhist chants echoed, rays of light shone in ten thousand directions, and auspicious colors filled the sky!

The beings of the Primordial World were shaken once more! In a single day, two Heavenly Dao Saints had been born! And in this way of establishing a sect and making Great Vows!

Kunlun Mountain, the Sun Star, the Blood Sea, Wuzhuang Temple... all great powers felt these two new saintly auras, their hearts complex and hard to describe.

The Three Pure Ones' expressions were heavy, feeling the pressure. Di Jun and Tai Yi's faces turned ashen. Old Ancestor Ming He was consumed by jealousy.

Yet, just as all beings thought Jieyin and Zhunti would stabilize their Heavenly Dao Saint positions, an Aberration Regeneration occurred!

Bathing in the golden sea of merit, Jieyin and Zhunti, in the instant of establishing the sect and becoming Heavenly Dao Saints, reached an unprecedented clarity in their understanding of the Heavenly Dao and their own Great Dao!

They were not satisfied with this!

"Now!" Zhunti (Amitabha) shot a sharp gleam from his eyes, "Using the saintly foundation, reverse to the origin, and prove the Origin again!"

"Boom!!!"

Using their newly attained Heavenly Dao Saint positions as a springboard, and the vast fortune and merit suppressed by the Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit as fuel, they boldly triggered their most fundamental Great Dao of Annihilation and Great Dao of Wisdom.

They launched the final, most violent assault on the barrier of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin—the true Transcendence, free from the Heavenly Dao's bonds!

They wanted to use this moment of establishing a sect and becoming saints, deeply aligned with the Heavenly Dao, to forcibly break free from the Heavenly Dao's shackles, take a single step to the heavens, and directly prove the true Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin!

This approach was practically heaven-defying! Extremely risky!

But if successful, they would no longer be ordinary Heavenly Dao Saints, but beings with both saintly status and the essence of the Origin, more special and powerful!

Wum—!!!

A terrifying fluctuation, far surpassing the ordinary Heavenly Dao Saint's achievement, erupted from Mount Sumeru! The entire Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World seemed to tremble violently!

Ming Xin watched this scene nervously, the system frantically sounding alarms, deducing all possibilities.

Success or failure, all rested on this moment!
