Chapter Twenty-Five: Four Saints in One Day
After three hundred years of seclusion, the Supreme Being deduced the Way of the Golden Elixir for the human race. After passing on the Way of the Golden Elixir to the human race, he established the Human Religion based on the human race. By virtue of the merit of establishing the religion and the merit of Pangu creating the world, he attained the status of a sage of the Heavenly Dao.
"Big Brother has become a saint!" In the Kunlun Mountains, Yuanshi saw that Taishang had become a saint, so he quickly left the Kunlun Mountains and went to the coast of the East Sea to find Taishang.
On Jin'ao Island in the East Sea, Tongtian gazed at the extraordinary celestial phenomena that occurred when Taishang attained sainthood, and a wave of emotion washed over him. Taishang had become a saint, and Yuanshi Tianzun was probably not far behind, while he himself had only advanced to the mid-stage of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, still a long way from the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm. At this moment, Tongtian suddenly felt that becoming a saint wasn't so bad after all. Although compared to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm, the Heavenly Dao Saints were still inferior, how many people in the entire prehistoric world could cultivate to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm? Below the saints, all are ants. In Taishang's eyes, he was probably no different from an ant.
Taishang has become a saint. Logically speaking, as his younger brother, Tongtian should go to congratulate him immediately. However, Tongtian thought that Yuanshi would also go, and now that he was on a different path from Taishang and the others, what difference would it make if he went?
On the shores of the East China Sea, Tai Shang was bathed in holy light, his aura was elevated. Tai Shang felt his own strength, the second level of Saint, which was incomparable to the previous mid-stage Quasi-Saint. Moreover, with the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, his magical power was inexhaustible. This kind of realm is what our cultivators are pursuing.
"Congratulations, elder brother, on attaining sainthood! From now on, you will walk with the Dao, be immortal and indestructible, and be imperishable through countless eons." At this moment, Yuanshi finally arrived from Kunlun Mountain, his eyes filled with envy as he looked at Taishang.
Taishang glanced indifferently at Yuanshi and said, "Without establishing a religion, one cannot become a saint!"
"Boom!" The Supreme One's words revealed the secret of heaven, like a thunderclap in the ears of the Primordial One. The Primordial One instantly understood, and the Primordial Purple Qi in his primordial spirit surged wildly.
Yuanshi sent out the primordial treasure, the Pangu Banner, and proclaimed to the primordial world: "By the Heavenly Dao above, my name is Yuanshi, one of the Two Pure Ones of Kunlun Mountain, and the second disciple of Hongjun Daozu of the Xuanmen. I now establish a sect called the Chan Sect, intending to elucidate the ultimate principles of the Heavenly Dao and enlighten all living beings in the primordial world. I will use the primordial treasure, the Pangu Banner, to suppress the fortune of the Chan Sect. I hope the Heavenly Dao will take note. The Chan Sect is established, and I am its leader!"
As soon as the Primordial Oath was uttered, a thunderclap resounded from beyond the nine heavens, the Heavenly Dao Wheel reappeared, and a massive golden pillar of merit descended from the sky, enveloping the Primordial One. This golden pillar of merit was slightly smaller than that of the Supreme One.
The Heavenly Dao Merit entered his body, triggering the Creation Merit within his Primordial Spirit. The Primordial Purple Qi completely merged with the original Primordial Spirit, and a Primordial Spirit flew out, heading straight for the Heavenly Dao Wheel. At the moment the original Primordial Spirit was entrusted to the Heavenly Dao Wheel, in the primordial world, celestial music lingered and exotic fragrances filled the air, purple qi traveled ninety thousand miles eastward, and the original Primordial Spirit radiated a pure holy light.
"My name is Yuanshi, and today I have attained sainthood and am now known as the Jade Purity Yuanshi Heavenly Venerable. All living beings in the primordial world should rejoice!" In mid-air, Yuanshi announced his sainthood to the entire primordial world.
"Greetings to the Primordial Heavenly Venerable Yuqing! Congratulations to the Primordial Heavenly Venerable Yuqing for attaining sainthood and becoming a saint. May you walk with the Dao, be immortal and indestructible, and live forever! May the Primordial Heavenly Venerable Yuqing live a long and holy life!" All beings in the primordial world bowed to the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.
After achieving sainthood, Tongtian, who was on Jin'ao Island in the East Sea, felt the Primordial Purple Qi in his primordial spirit pulsating wildly. Tongtian clearly felt that his opportunity to become a saint had arrived, so he activated the source of the Law of Destruction to suppress the wildly pulsating Primordial Purple Qi and forcefully suppressed his desire to become a saint.
Hongjun in Zixiao Palace was originally very happy to see Taishang and Yuanshi become saints one after another. According to the plan, today should be the day when five saints and six saints return to their positions. He himself will soon be able to merge with the Dao. After merging with the Dao, it will be time to deal with Xuan Chu and the Wu Clan.
However, after the Primordial One became a saint, the primordial world quickly quieted down, and Tongtian, one of the Three Pure Ones, made no move at all.
"Where is Tongtian? Why hasn't Tongtian established his own sect and become a saint yet? What is he thinking?" Hongjun frowned. The script wasn't right. Taishang and Yuanshi had both become saints, so shouldn't it be Tongtian's turn next? Where is Tongtian?
Suddenly, Hongjun had a bad feeling. Tongtian had met Xuanchu, and then the Three Pure Ones broke up. Now Tongtian was delaying in establishing his own sect and becoming a saint. It was probably because Xuanchu had told Tongtian a lot of secrets in the Pangu Palace, and Tongtian might not want to become a saint of the Heavenly Dao anymore.
Before Hongjun could even comprehend it, two voices rang out from the western part of the primordial world: "By the Heavenly Dao above, I am Jieyin (Zhunti), the Lord of the West, a disciple of the Xuanmen Hongjun Daozu. I hereby establish a new sect, named the Western Sect, to enlighten the beings of the West. I will use the supreme innate spiritual treasures, the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit and the Eight Treasures Pool of Merit, to suppress the Western Sect's fortune. The Western Sect is established!"
As the vow was made, two golden pillars of merit descended from the sky, enveloping Jieyin and Zhunti. However, after absorbing the merits of the Heavenly Dao, Jieyin and Zhunti were unable to become saints.
"Senior brother, we don't have enough merit to establish the sect. What should we do?" Zhunti asked Jieyin anxiously. He knew that they had already sworn an oath to the Heavenly Dao. If they could not become saints today, they might not have another chance.
Jieyin was also panicking, but he forced himself to remain calm. His mind raced, and he quickly came up with a solution. He said to Zhunti, "Junior brother, I have a solution, but if we do this, our lives will be very difficult from now on."
"Senior brother, things have come to this point, we have no other choice. If we cannot become saints today, we may never have another chance. No matter the cost, we must become saints today." Zhunti said through gritted teeth. Compared to becoming a saint, no price was worth anything.
"Okay!" Then, Jieyin told Zhunti the method he had come up with.
Immediately afterwards, Jieyin and Zhunti made thirty-six great vows to the Heavenly Dao. On the original track, Jieyin and Zhunti would have needed to make forty-eight great vows to borrow enough merit from the Heavenly Dao to become saints. However, since Tongtian did not establish the Jiejiao sect, the Western sect, which was originally ranked after the Jiejiao sect, was moved forward and received more merit for establishing the sect. Therefore, it was only necessary to make thirty-six great vows.
The Heavenly Dao quickly transferred the funds. As subsequent merits entered their bodies, the two primordial spirits flew out from Jieyin and Zhunti's bodies, heading straight for the Heavenly Dao's Dharma Wheel. Entrusting themselves to the Heavenly Dao, Jieyin and Zhunti became saints.
"My name is Jieyin, and today I have attained sainthood and am called the Western Heavenly Venerable Jieyin. All living beings in the primordial world should celebrate!"
"My name is Zhunti. Today I have attained enlightenment and become a saint, and am now known as the Western Zhunti Heavenly Venerable. All living beings in the primordial world should rejoice!"
"Greetings to the Heavenly Venerable Receptionist and the Heavenly Venerable Cundi! Congratulations to the Heavenly Venerable Receptionist and the Heavenly Venerable Cundi on attaining sainthood! From this day forward, may you walk with the Dao, be immortal and indestructible, and be indestructible through countless eons! May the Heavenly Venerable Receptionist and the Heavenly Venerable Cundi enjoy boundless holy life!"
After Jieyin and Zhunti attained sainthood, all the eyes of the prehistoric beings turned to the shores of the East Sea. Although Tongtian did not announce his departure from Kunlun Mountain to the prehistoric world, after so much time, the prehistoric cultivators who were well-informed knew that Tongtian had established his Daoist temple on Jin'ao Island in the East Sea. Now that Taishang, Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti had all attained sainthood on the same day, they all looked forward to Tongtian's sainthood.
Not to mention others, even the Heavenly Saints turned their gazes to Tongtian, all wanting to know what Tongtian was up to.
