The dust fell silent.

Tongtian Sect Master's words and deeds all refer to fate and qualifications.

Just as he said, Shachen really doesn't seem to have the destiny to become a saint.

because.

He didn't get one of those six spots, but that shouldn't be his fate.

As for qualifications, Shachen did not go out to accumulate merits, but just worked behind closed doors. It seems that he will never be able to become a saint.

However.

Is this true?

Or, it is 99% true, but definitely not the only one.

Sha Chen looked at Tong Tian Jiaozhu and said, "May I ask, Saint, is the only way to become a saint to go out and help the world and accumulate merit?"

Tongtian Sect Master laughed and said, "If you only practice medicine to help the world, you will never be able to accumulate the merits to become a saint in this lifetime."

"The merits of becoming a saint are always immense, and they have a tremendous impact on humanity. Jie Yin and Zhunti founded the Western Religion, establishing a strong foundation for humanity. They warned the evil to lay down their butcher knives and become Buddhas immediately, and taught the kind that those who do good deeds for ten lifetimes can achieve Buddhahood. Their merits are truly immeasurable."

"Li Er founded the Human Religion, ushering in eternal peace for humanity. Yuanshi founded the Chan Religion, teaching all beings to cultivate virtue, learn to protect themselves, and achieve immortal merit. As for me, I founded the Jie Religion, welcoming all beings, restraining the demons from harassing humanity, and protecting the world's peace."

He said calmly, "Each of us has founded a sect and created boundless merits for humanity. But you are here, making no contribution to humanity. Even practicing medicine to save the world is not enough."

Shachen smiled and nodded, saying, "What the saint said makes sense, but it seems the saint missed one thing."

Patriarch Tongtian said, "You're talking about Nuwa, right? She's indeed quite special. The Nuwa Palace she founded was after she became a saint. Before that, however, she made even greater contributions, as she created humans, which gave rise to the foundation of humanity. At that time, humanity wasn't mainstream yet, and couldn't influence the destiny of the prehistoric world, so she couldn't directly become a saint."

His eyes were filled with memories, and he sighed, "But after that, the war between the witches and the lich collapsed Mount Buzhou, creating a hole in the sky. Humanity was about to be destroyed, but she stepped forward and refined the seven-colored stones to repair the sky. With her merits fulfilled, she naturally became a saint."

Shachen nodded. The Nuwa that Tongtian Sect Master mentioned was so special.

She did not found a sect, nor did she teach or answer questions, but her contributions were no less than those of any other saint, and even far exceeded them.

Even the most powerful saint, Laozi, may not be able to surpass Nuwa in terms of merit.

but.

Nuwa, who has the most merits, is actually the weakest among the saints.

because.

When Nuwa became a saint, she was only at the initial stage of Quasi-Sainthood. However, the others were more or less at the intermediate, advanced, or even peak stage.

His strength before becoming a saint was not good, and his foundation after becoming a saint was poor.

There are naturally differences in strength.

Sha Chen said, "Saint Nuwa was able to become a saint without founding a sect, so why don't I have this opportunity?"

Tongtian Patriarch laughed heartily and said, "Her path is even more difficult than founding a sect. We also wanted to do the same thing at first, but we failed. Finally, under the guidance of our master, we founded a sect to protect the peace of humanity."

Shachen nodded, it was true.

Nuwa's path is indeed the most difficult, because she has accumulated countless merits. Nuwa created human beings, and Nuwa repaired the sky, all of which are very rare merits.

Countless lives were saved.

Tongtian Patriarch said, "In fact, it is countless times more difficult for people in later generations to become saints than it is for us. Because the number of saint positions is limited, if you want to squeeze us out, you need greater merit and more powerful luck."

"Hou Tu opened up the cycle of reincarnation, giving countless wandering ghosts a place to go and the opportunity to reincarnate. It can be said that her contribution is no less than any of us, and her merits are immeasurable. However, she is only a sub-sage."

He didn't continue speaking.

but.

Shachen understood that everything was implied.

Hou Tu created the cycle of reincarnation and could become a saint, but the number of saints is limited. Since Hou Tu's achievements did not exceed those of the Six Saints by much, she could not surpass them.

Unless, it is approved by the way of heaven.

The Way of Heaven obviously does not want more saints, because that would make saints not transcendent at all and not valuable at all.

It's not just Hou Tu. The three saints of Huoyun Palace who came later were also sub-saints. They all provided great help to humanity and had great merits.

If it were in the past, before the Six Saints of the Primordial Era appeared, they would have been qualified to become saints through merit.

But it's a pity.

The six saints of the ancient times blocked their way forward.

If they are not recognized by the Heavenly Dao, they can only become sub-saints, not true saints.

Tongtian Patriarch said: "You may be able to become a sub-sage, but even if you are a sub-sage, you still need to go out and accumulate merits. Hiding here like Zhen Yuanzi will be your ultimate end."

His meaning was very clear. If one went out to accumulate merit, he would be qualified to become a sub-saint. Otherwise, he would only be able to become a peak quasi-saint like Zhen Yuanzi.

Countless people yearn to become a peak quasi-saint, but cannot achieve it.

but.

Tongtian Patriarch understood that the end of the sand and dust should not be the peak quasi-saint, he was qualified and capable of reaching a higher level.

Although it is impossible to become a saint, there is still a chance to become a sub-saint.

However.

The prerequisite is that the sand and dust move out of here and leave the Quicksand River.

From now on, accumulate merit.

Patriarch Tongtian looked at Shachen and said, "You are now a Quasi-Saint, and you will become even stronger in the future. From now on, go out and accumulate merit. Perhaps by the time you become a peak Quasi-Saint, you will have accumulated enough merit to eventually become a Sub-Saint."
