"If I want to take it a step further, I need to prepare early!" In the chaos, after his cultivation reached the Quasi-Saint realm, Wang Han couldn't help but stroke his chin and start thinking.
"It seems I need to borrow a strand of Primordial Purple Qi from Hongjun to admire it. I hope the sermon is not yet over and the saintly positions have not yet been assigned."
After thinking it over, Wang Han changed his appearance and returned to his former form. He covered himself with the invisibility cheat, concealing his aura as a Chaos Demon God. He took a step forward, used the wall-penetrating cheat, and disappeared into the depths of chaos.

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace.
Three thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.
"This sermon is now concluded." As soon as the three thousand years were up, Hongjun immediately stopped his sermon and announced its end. He didn't have much time left; before achieving Dao integration, he still needed to find Wang Han.
"After this sermon, I will disappear. You may ask any questions." However, after making the announcement, he did not rush to dismiss the guests, saying that although the sermon was over, the matter was not yet finished.
"Dao Ancestor, what is the method to become a saint?" Sure enough, when Hongjun announced the end of his sermon, the method of becoming a saint was still not revealed, and Styx became anxious. What was the main purpose of these powerful beings from the primordial world coming here to listen to the Dao? Most of them, it was undoubtedly for the method of becoming a saint. Otherwise, why would he and Zhen Yuanzi, quasi-saints, come to listen to the Dao after nine thousand years? Wasn't it because Hongjun had already attained sainthood and provided a path to sainthood?
"There are three ways to become a saint," Hongjun, who had been waiting for the question, replied with a smile.
"Please speak, Dao Ancestor," Styx said hastily. He was extremely eager to become a saint as soon as possible, then seek revenge on Wang Han and reclaim his spiritual treasure.
“Fellow Daoist has arrived, just in time.” However, Hongjun did not answer, but instead smiled and said to Wang Han, who had just appeared on the futon beside him.
"You've come at the perfect time, and it's the perfect moment." Wang Han said with a smile. "You continue, I'll just listen in."
Upon seeing Wang Han, Styx gritted his teeth in anger, yet dared not retaliate. Not only could he not defeat Wang Han, but judging from Hongjun's attitude, it was uncertain who he would side with.
"Fellow Daoist, please make yourself at home." Upon hearing this, Hongjun smiled and said to Wang Han, then addressed the powerful beings who had come to listen to his teachings: "One of the methods to become a saint is to prove the Dao through force. This is the highest method. Proving the Dao through force is not a single method, but rather a process of comprehending the Three Thousand Great Daos. Regardless of which one one comprehends, once one has cultivated it to perfection, one can attain the Dao. However, this method is not only the most difficult, even I cannot fully comprehend it, but it is also extremely dangerous, with only one in ten surviving. The Great God Pangu was one such example. Now, this method is completely unfeasible. After the emergence of the Heavenly Dao, this method was forbidden by the Heavenly Dao, mainly because this method requires shattering the primordial world and creating a new world."
What Hongjun didn't say was that Pangu became a sage of the Great Dao.
What Wang Han didn't say was that Hongjun was wrong about one crucial point: becoming a Great Dao Saint is far from simple. The dangers, difficulties, and time required far exceed imagination. You might spend the time and effort required to become a thousand Heavenly Dao Saints and still not achieve even one Great Dao Saint. Almost all three thousand Chaos Demon Gods followed this path, and not a single one succeeded—far less than one in ten. However, Hongjun's method wasn't wrong either: to shatter the Primordial World anew and create a new one. At least for the people of the Primordial World, this was the case; for them, it was already a shortcut.
Upon hearing Hongjun say that achieving sainthood through force was the supreme method, everyone's eyes lit up. However, upon hearing Hongjun's next words, their eyes dimmed, realizing that this method was truly utterly unworkable. The Broken Primordial World had already made it very clear: trying to prove one's Dao through force was simply courting death.
Leaving aside the immense power required to create a new world, just look at the primordial world created by the Great God Pangu. Even if you truly possessed that ability, it would be impossible. Not only would the Heavenly Dao not allow it, but the beings of the primordial world would also not allow it. Even if you succeeded, destroying the Heavenly Dao, shattering the primordial world, and slaughtering all the beings of the primordial world, the endless karmic force of the Great Dao would still leave you with no place to bury your body. Moreover, you would immediately have to create a new world afterward. The Great God Pangu is an example, and that is his fate. The Great God Pangu died while still in the body of a Chaos Demon God. No one believes that they can surpass the Great God Pangu; less than one in ten survives. That was before the primordial world appeared; now, it is absolutely impossible.
"Dao Ancestor, what about the second method?" Since the first method didn't work, everyone could only seek the second method.
"The second method to achieve sainthood is the method of severing the three corpses. This method is of intermediate level. The three corpses are the good corpse, the evil corpse, and the true self." Upon hearing this, Hongjun did not keep him in suspense and directly said, "Severing the good, evil, and true self corpses will allow one to reach the late stage of Quasi-Saint. When the origins of the three corpses are united, one can break through to the peak of Quasi-Saint. Then, by comprehending the will of the Heavenly Dao and entrusting one's primordial spirit to the Heavenly Dao (not merging with the Dao, which is to fill the gaps in the Heavenly Dao), one can become a Three-Corpse Saint, also known as a Heavenly Dao Saint. One must pay attention to the method of severing the three corpses. First, the magic weapon used to sever the corpses must be of the same origin. Otherwise, the origins of the three corpses cannot be united, and one cannot reach the peak of Quasi-Saint. Second, the higher the level of the magic weapon, the greater the chance of success. After becoming a saint, one's magical power will also be stronger."
Upon hearing this, everyone was disappointed once again. Good magic weapons are already few and far between, and those of the same origin are even fewer. They are even more likely to be in the hands of extremely powerful people. The danger of collecting three of them is already great enough, and low-level magic weapons are too dangerous. This method has almost completely blocked them from acquiring magic weapons.
"And the third one?" Styx asked, clinging to his last hope.
"The third way is to become a saint through meritorious deeds," Hongjun continued upon hearing this.
"Teacher, how can one become a saint through merit?" Tongtian asked.
