Chapter 127 The Three Pure Ones Achieve Sainthood
The primordial purple energy originally located at the Lingtai was completely merged into the Taiqing energy. The purple-gold light and the Taiqing energy complemented each other, the sage's appearance was solemn, and his aura of power spread throughout the primordial world...
Facing this oppressive aura, Chang Hao remained unmoved, even having the leisure to compare it with the oppressive aura that Hongjun and Luo Hou possessed when they achieved sainthood.
However, Di Jun and Tai Yi on the Demon Court were not in such a good mood. Tai Yi stood straight on the golden steps, with cracks inch by inch beneath his feet.
Emperor Jun sat on the throne, gripping the armrests tightly to avoid being crushed and humiliated.
Becoming a saint... Di Jun numbly felt the pressure of becoming a saint. A flash of determination appeared in his eyes as he looked at Taiyi. Without becoming a saint, one would be nothing but an ant. When Nuwa became a saint, she clearly did not have the same power as Taiqing did now. It seems that there are different levels of sainthood.
Although he is now recognized by Heaven and Earth as the supreme ruler of the primordial world, he is still surrounded by the Dao Ancestor and the Three Pure Ones, and within the demon race, there is Nuwa, who are like several towering mountains. He always needs to consider them before acting and always give them some leeway. This cannot continue.
So what if he lacks the foundation for enlightenment? Di Jun is willing to use the demon race as the foundation for enlightenment. Enlightenment is inevitable for him; he will not regret it even if it means dying nine times over.
But Taiyi...
Di Jun glanced at Tai Yi, a fleeting look of guilt crossing his face. Chang Hao was right; he could accept his failure, it was the result of his own choice. But Tai Yi didn't need to stay with him. He should think of a way out for Tai Yi...
Just as Di Jun and Tai Yi had barely weathered this initial shock of becoming saints, another voice, seemingly from the ages past, carrying the pressure of sainthood, once again swept over the primordial world...
"Heaven is above, and I am Yuqing Yuanshi. I see that all the races in the primordial world do not understand the Heavenly Dao and are confused. Therefore, I establish a religion called 'Chanjiao' to clarify the Heavenly Dao and follow the will of Heaven and the people. Now, I will use the Pangu Banner, the supreme treasure of the primordial world, to suppress the fortune of Chanjiao. Heaven and Earth bear witness to this."
"Chanjiao! Establish it!!!"
Behind Yuanshi, profound sounds of the Heavenly Dao appeared, extremely mysterious. Purple qi came from the east, and golden lotuses mixed with golden light of merit descended from the sky...
Chang Hao seemed to be deep in thought. The Chan Sect established by Yuanshi seemed to be regarded as orthodox by the Heavenly Dao. Why? Was it because Yuanshi's doctrines best conformed to the Heavenly Dao's hopes?
A brilliant idea struck him: This actually works?!
It's nothing more than preaching his Dao to the Heavenly Dao and establishing a religion. Tongtian followed the template of Yuanshi, replacing it with his own interpretation of his Dao: "Heavenly Dao is above, I am Shangqing Tongtian. Now I see that the survival of various races in the prehistoric world is not easy. Now I wish to cut off a ray of life for all living beings. I teach without discrimination. All living beings in the world who are destined to hear the Dao can enter my sect. Therefore, I establish a religion called 'Jiejiao' (Intercepting Sect), which intercepts the creation of heaven and earth. Now I use the innate supreme treasure, the Zhuxian Sword Formation, to suppress the fortune of Jiejiao. Heaven and earth bear witness."
"Intercepting Sect! Stand Up!!!"
The combined might of Shangqing Tongtian and Yuqing Yuanshi descended upon the primordial world, causing many powerful beings, already on the verge of collapse, to kneel on the ground. An unparalleled tremor rose from the depths of their primordial spirits. The more powerful the cultivator, the more terrifying this might was. On the contrary, those with shallow cultivation were ignorant and fearless, clear-headed yet foolish.
Yuanshi and Tongtian both focused their gazes on Chang Hao. Laozi stroked his beard and smiled encouragingly, as if to say: Your turn!!!
Chang Hao: ...
Tongtian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Chang Hao was there, which diverted the attention of his two elder brothers. For the time being, he was only pleased that Chang Hao had also become a saint in a short period of time, and did not delve into his declaration of establishing a religion.
"Better to die than for me," he said. Shangqing Tongtian expressed his deepest gratitude to Chang Hao for his great help, and he would remember Chang Hao's kindness.
Chang Hao couldn't help but take a step back. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't withstand the constant urging from the three newly promoted saints with their piercing gazes.
However……
Chang Hao sighed, gazing at the sky. He hadn't forgotten that in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, he was an unregistered person using someone else's identity! How could he announce his true name if he established a sect and became a saint? The Great Dao is above…
As you can see, of the two beings who were not from the primordial world, one was already intimately connected with the primordial world and would never be separated from it, and could not leave unless there was a great calamity in the world; the other was imprisoned in the demon realm forever, and could not leave for eternity, and their fates were quite tragic.
If he gets exposed, hehe...
Chang Hao could foresee his fate: either he would be stabbed to death by Hongjun in a fit of rage or he would be sealed by the Heavenly Dao. He didn't want to choose either way.
“Chang Hao?” Yuanshi frowned. “What are you waiting for? Establishing a religion and becoming a saint is the easiest way to become a saint.”
"This is not easy at all. I have a feeling that even if I establish a religion, I will not be able to become a saint." Chang Hao thought to himself, "It's easy for them to talk when they're not in the same boat. These three prodigies have no idea about the struggles of ordinary people."
“Impossible,” Tongtian immediately denied. “Chang Hao, you have to believe in yourself. Look at your merits, you have more than me. Just learn from us and make an oath to the Heavenly Dao and establish a sect, and you’ll be fine in no time.”
"Thank you so much," Chang Hao said with a forced smile, but his face fell the next moment. "But I don't believe in myself. How could something be so cheap?"
"No, you must establish a religion. It wouldn't hurt to give it a try." Yuanshi advised kindly. If he could do this job, Yuanshi would be eager to speak for Chang Hao.
“Yes, Second Brother is right, it wouldn’t hurt to give it a try.” Laozi also joined in the persuasion.
"No, no, really no. There are three thousand different paths to enlightenment. I mainly cultivate to prove my Dao through strength, which is completely different from your practice of severing the three corpses." Chang Hao was sweating profusely. He knew that after he did this, the Heavenly Dao would ignore him, and he would definitely be exposed by Hongjun.
Tongtian tugged at Yuanshi's sleeve and leaned closer to whisper, "Chang Hao is being very strange, there must be something wrong with him."
Yuanshi's mind and body were with Chang Hao, so he naturally sensed Chang Hao's abnormal behavior. Could it be that Chang Hao had something he couldn't say?
"Is there something troubling you? Now that the three of us are here, you can tell me what's wrong, and I'll help you solve it," Yuanshi advised gently. "Even if it can't be solved right away, you still have your elder brother and younger brother. They'll surely come up with a solution."
"You have to speak up. Only if you speak up can we find a solution. We're always here for you. Don't rush, take your time." Laozi looked at Chang Hao with an unusually firm attitude. This was a serious matter that couldn't be taken lightly.
Just when Chang Hao was in a difficult situation, the declaration of the establishment of the religion by Jieyin and Zhunti was heard throughout the world, temporarily diverting the attention of the Three Pure Ones to the Western Paradise.
Just as Chang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, the entire prehistoric world turned its attention to whether two more saints would emerge.
Jieyin and Zhunti were also going all out. Of the seven people in Zixiao Palace who obtained the purple energy, Hongyun had died, and the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa had all become saints. If the two of them did not become saints today, there would be no place for them to settle in the prehistoric world. Hongyun was their example.
"Senior brother, do we really have to do this?" Zhunti asked, his heart filled with sorrow.
“It’s always good to be prepared,” Jieyin said, the three prominent “river” characters between his eyebrows. “Being prepared is always better than being caught off guard.”
"Did you see that? Nuwa became a saint through great creation and obtained the position of saint; Taiqing established the Golden Elixir Great Dao, created a unique branch of the Daoist sect, and educated the human race, thus obtaining the position of saint; Yuqing was a link between the past and the future, and his righteousness was the embodiment of the will of Heaven, thus obtaining the position of saint; Shangqing, although rebellious, was bold and audacious, with the great ambition of saving all people, unprecedented and unparalleled, thus obtaining the position of saint; although the Three Pure Ones seem to have all established sects and become saints, in fact, they are very different inside."
"Senior brother is right. I was thinking too simply." Zhunti's disappointment was obvious. If all else failed, they would leave the sect; they had no other choice.
Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, then, with a do-or-die determination, declared, "Heaven's will is above..."
