Chapter 46: The Authentic Saint
"Hongjun, Zhen Yuanzi is the saint appointed by our earth, it's none of your business."
When Mu Ning saw Lady Pingxin appear, he suddenly felt hopeful. "Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi, hurry up and repair the earth veins to achieve the status of an underground saint."
After saying that, Mu Ning wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up shakily, and faced Hongjun together with Empress Pingxin.
"Pingxin, you want to stop me? You are not qualified."
"Let me show you whether you are capable or not. Do you dare to fight in Primal Chaos?" Lady Pingxin looked at Hongjun. Both of them were saints.
He Hongjun is the spokesperson for Heaven, and she Pingxin is the spokesperson for Earth. If they really fight, both will suffer losses and no one will benefit.
Finally, Hongjun gave Pingxin a cold look. "Since we're both saints, I'll let you have it this time."
After saying this, Hongjun looked at Mu Ning again, with a barely perceptible light flashing in his eyes.
The light seemed to contain endless profound meaning and murderous intent, making it difficult to understand.
The moment Mu Ning and Hongjun looked at each other, a strange feeling surged in their hearts.
It seemed as if Hongjun's gaze could penetrate his soul and see everything in his heart.
After Daozu Hongjun left completely, Mu Ning couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood. He quickly took out two pills and swallowed them.
"Why were you so careless this time? You are still no match for Hongjun." Empress Pingxin looked at Mu Ning.
"I know, but I just don't want to see him seize the merits of the tunnel and gain the luck of the tunnel. You should know the consequences better than me if the luck of the tunnel is occupied."
"Consider it that I owe you a favor." Empress Pingxin nodded. She felt that the karma she owed Mu Ning was getting heavier and heavier.
[Wow~~Host, host, Zhen Yuanzi has completed repairing the earth veins.]
"Xiao Lingling, can't you see that I'm injured? You don't care about me." Mu Ning pretended to wipe his eyes, then looked at Zhen Yuanzi who was bathed in divine light.
"The Great Dao is above, and the Underworld sees it. I am Zhenyuanzi of the Five Dao Temple. Holding the Book of Earth, I have spent nearly ten thousand years successfully repairing the Western Earth Veins. Now I have been recognized by the Underworld and have achieved the status of an Underworld Saint."
"Let me lend you a helping hand." Empress Pingxin waved her hand, and the authentic merits became more and more abundant, flying towards Zhen Yuanzi, containing the authentic purple energy of the saint's fruit position.
The merits of the Great Dao, the Earthly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao all flew towards Zhen Yuanzi, allowing him to ascend from a quasi-saint to the perfection of a quasi-saint in one step.
The authentic purple air washed over his body, gradually transforming the immortal power he cultivated into divine power.
After a long wait, the last bit of merit finally slowly descended from the sky, like a golden waterfall, falling on Zhen Yuanzi's body.
This strand of merit seemed to be the purest energy between heaven and earth. It penetrated Zhen Yuanzi's body and merged into the depths of his soul.
Zhen Yuanzi's body trembled slightly. He could clearly feel the powerful force brought by this merit, which was continuously injected into his body.
As the merits were fully bestowed, a faint golden light emanated from Zhen Yuanzi's body. The golden light became brighter and brighter, eventually enveloping him completely.
Under the illumination of this golden light, Zhen Yuanzi's aura continued to rise, and his strength was qualitatively improved at this moment.
As the golden light gradually faded, Zhen Yuanzi slowly opened his eyes, a flicker of surprise in them. He knew that he had finally successfully entered the realm of a true saint.
Zhen Yuanzi's image also changed accordingly. He smiled at Shennong, pulled Shennong up and walked over to pay his respects to Niangniang Pingxin.
"I, Zhen Yuanzi of Wudao Temple, pay my respects to the Empress Pingxin and thank her for her help."
Pingxin's hand lifted gently, like a gentle breeze, as if afraid to wake the sleeping baby. Her movements were graceful and slow, as if time had stopped for her at this moment.
Upon seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi quickly bowed in a gesture of respect. However, Pingxin's hand, as if possessed of magic, gently lifted him up, preventing him from continuing to bow.
Pingxin's voice was like the sound of nature, crisp and soft: "No need to be polite. You hold the Book of Earth, and you are the ancestor of earth immortals. It is your chance to become an earth saint."
There was a hint of admiration in her words, as if Zhen Yuanzi's achievements were not accidental but destined.
Mu Ning also nodded and said, "This is your opportunity. Since fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi is already a saint, then..."
Before Mu Ning could finish his words, Zhen Yuanzi hurriedly said, "Then we should carry out our original promise. As long as Daoist Fellow Mu Ning needs me, I will definitely help you."
Shennong looked at his friend and took a step forward and said, "This emperor is also."
At this time, Tongtian rushed to the scene in a panic and saw Mu Ning lying on the ground. There was blood on his body and his face was a little pale. It was obvious that he had suffered serious injuries.
Tongtian's heart felt like it was hit hard by a heavy hammer, and an uncontrollable anger surged in his heart.
He stared at Mu Ning with his eyes wide open, his hands clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, but he didn't feel the pain at all.
His breathing became rapid, and his chest seemed to be pressed by a huge force, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
"Ning'er, this was what Daozu Hongjun did just now." Tongtian rushed over and hugged Mu Ning, letting out a low growl from his throat. It was his roar at the people who hurt Mu Ning, and also an outlet for his inner anger.
"Master, I'm fine, please calm down." Mu Ning was shocked to see Tongtian's furious look.
"Ning'er... Ning'er, I'm glad you're okay." Tongtian hugged Mu Ning tightly and slowly calmed down.
He turned to look at Empress Pingxin and said, "Thank you for your help, Empress Pingxin. Tongtian is grateful."
"There is no need to be so polite, Saint Tongtian. Fellow Daoist Mu Ning and I are already familiar with each other." Empress Pingxin looked at Master Tongtian in surprise.
Why should you be so nervous about your disciple being injured? You just saw Tongtian looking like he was possessed by a demon, and he had such strong emotions towards his disciple.
Now, Tongtian Patriarch was still holding his disciple's hand tightly, and the tension in his eyes was not fake. Suddenly, an idea flashed in Pingxin Niangniang's mind.
He stared at Mu Ning and Tongtian Sect Master with wide eyes in shock, then trembled and closed his mouth, "They are actually Taoist couples. It is normal for cultivators to become Taoist couples, but he didn't expect that Tongtian Saint and his disciple are also Taoist couples."
When everything was over, Empress Pingxin said goodbye to everyone with a smile. She turned and left, and her figure gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
Zhen Yuanzi and Shennong also turned around and walked towards the Five Dao Temple. Along the way, they talked about various topics, from spiritual practice to the various aspects of the world.
"Master, let's go too, back to Jin'ao Island." Mu Ning watched them walk away and looked up at Tongtian.
"Well, let's go." Tongtian hugged Mu Ning around the waist and rode on a auspicious cloud together.
Galloping towards Jin'ao Island, Mu Ning stood beside Tongtian Sect Master, feeling the lightning-fast speed, and couldn't help but feel moved.
