Peerless at Preaching
"The opportunity to become a saint?"
Upon hearing this, Guiling couldn't help but admire Daoist Zhunti.
After all, they are different from her lineage.
In the Primordial World, the Ancestor Hongjun preached in the Purple Firmament Palace, passing down three methods to achieve sainthood.
In the Primordial World, all the great beings began their cultivation.
The saying "Below the level of Sage, all are ants" is true.
However, becoming a saint is not so easy.
Many beings spend billions of years cultivating, enduring hardship and loneliness for millennia, expending enormous resources and suffering, yet they may still not succeed.
The prospect of becoming Sage is incredibly tempting for every being.
"Put down your sword and come with me, and I guarantee you the foundation for sainthood in the future!"
The Sage Zhunti made a solemn vow.
At the same time, the Seven Treasures Miaoshu in his hand moved, and thus began to emit wisps of mysterious light.
Amidst this mysterious radiance, illusory images of Daoist principles appeared, seemingly revealing boundless merit that could guide Kong Xuan on the path to sainthood.
"What kind of magic is this, Daoist Zhunti?"
Guiling looked up and saw that Kong Xuan had stopped attacking because he was distracted. He was anxious and immediately asked Cult Master Tongtian, who was standing to the side.
"The power of faith that Western Sect peddle is something I can't even fathom!"
The Cult Master Tongtian snorted coldly and spoke in an annoyed tone.
It is quite obvious that he looks down on the methods and doctrines of the Western Sect.
However, even Daoist Zhunti himself had to admire how he managed to persuade Kong Xuan.
Kong Xuan's efforts to stop the Xiqi army's attack seem to be coming to an end.
"Hmph, I can go with you, I'd be happy to see what your Western Sect is all about!"
"However, that doesn't mean I'll convert to your Western Sect!"
Fortunately, Kong Xuan was no ordinary Primordial World nobody.
He made it clear that he would not convert to the Western Sect.
"Alright, at least I didn't fight you and Zhunti for nothing. You do have some brains after all!"
Upon hearing this, Guiling clapped and cheered with great joy.
He agreed with Kong Xuan's statement.
The Cult Master Tongtian and Zhao Gongming, however, were too lazy to look anymore.
The cause and effect of the great battle Kong Xuan was about to end, and next, it would be time for them to unleash the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation and thoroughly slaughter the Western Zhou.
They turned back and began their operation.
Guiling and Jinling were there, intently watching the situation unfold.
The Daoist Zhunti came to take Kong Xuan away.
Jiang Ziya was secretly pleased. He commanded his army to disperse and tightly surround the area, but did not make a move.
Daoist Zhunti used his Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree to seal off space and time, blocking all of Kong Xuan's attacks.
Jiang Ziya was also happy to see this happen.
"You go ahead! I'll visit the Western Sect when I have time!"
While Kong Xuan was confronting the Sage Zhunti, he did not withdraw his Five-Colored Divine Radiance. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly said the following.
"What?"
Jiang Ziya immediately became anxious upon hearing this.
"Would you like to come with me now? The Western Sect has three thousand worlds, where you can focus on your cultivation!"
Even the Daoist Zhunti couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
His main purpose in coming here was to take Kong Xuan away so that the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods War could proceed normally and in an orderly manner.
This ensured the victory of the Xiqi Great Zhou army.
Kong Xuan's reply was unexpected, and he was naturally unwilling to accept it. While trying to persuade him, he subtly released various mental powers, trying to influence Kong Xuan's thoughts.
To put it simply, the mental power he emitted communicated with the mental power on the Seven Treasures Miaoshu, thus forming another peculiar mental power that was gradually influencing Kong Xuan's intelligence.
We will not change Kong Xuan's intelligence, but only influence it.
The methods of conversion in the Western Sect can be said to be in the exploratory and developmental stage, although they are fundamentally different from the later Buddhist Order of conversion.
In many places, however, the initial stages of development have already begun.
What exactly is Western Sect?
"It would be wonderful if Kong Xuan could take me to see it!"
Guiling watched their conversation, making his own plans in his mind.
Millions of troops were deployed on the mountain ridges, slopes, and plains of Golden Rooster Ridge.
Banners fluttered, and men and horses filled the area, yet no one dared to utter a single word.
Kong Xuan had only fought for two days, yet more than 100,000 Western Zhou soldiers were already mangled and decapitated.
Faced with this situation, who would dare to say another word?
Everyone was hoping that the celestial Daoist Zhunti would descend and quickly resolve this karmic entanglement.
"Retreat five miles and observe the situation!"
Jiang Ziya also deliberately gave an order, instructing all his generals not to get any closer.
"Go now? I haven't settled my karma yet!"
"I will surely annihilate Jiang Ziya of Xiqi!"
"And this army of Xiqi, I find them utterly despicable and far from righteous!"
Kong Xuan used his Divine Ability while looking at the Xiqi army.
This was his deepest obsession: he absolutely had to wipe out those things from Xiqi.
"This is his deepest obsession!"
Daoist Zhunti looked at Kong Xuan, who was about to be successfully persuaded and converted by him, but his stubbornness rose and he still wanted to do his own thing.
It must be said that, in Daoist Zhunti's view, the conversion was a failure.
The opportunity to achieve sainthood was right in front of him, yet Kong Xuan still insisted on carrying out his duties, which meant that his attempts to convert and persuade Kong Xuan had essentially failed.
Because he was a Sage, he used his mental power and also relied on the power of a piece of the Seven Treasures Miaoshu.
There was nothing we could do—we couldn't persuade them directly, they wouldn't admit defeat, and there was nothing we could do.
"Hehe!"
"Haha, Kong Xuan, let the fighting continue!"
Jinling burst into laughter, and Guiling also laughed heartily; this was exactly the result they wanted.
If Kong Xuan and Jiang Ziya were to go head-to-head, and Kong Xuan were to eliminate Jiang Ziya, that would make them even happier.
"Leave this cause and effect to me!"
Daoist Zhunti frowned and pondered for a moment, but he was absolutely determined not to give up.
In his view, Jiang Ziya, as the commander of the Xiqi army, was still capable of listening to him.
The Western Sect and the Chan Sect had long ago conspired together to suppress the Jie Sect.
If we can take Kong Xuan away, I believe Jiang Ziya will definitely follow my arrangements.
"Nephew Jiang Ziya, with me Daoist Zhunti things, I can help you resolve this karmic debt!"
"Don't be afraid anymore, come out!"
When facing Jiang Ziya, Daoist Zhunti once again put on his Sage airs.
He was quite willing to take the opportunity to suppress the Chan Sect and show off his own achievements.
"Is this Western Sect senior uncle going to lecture me in public again, just to save face for him?"
Jiang Ziya was over eighty years old; how could he not see through this?
