Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

Chapter 99 Five Saints in One Day

As soon as Lao Tzu thought about it, his three corpses walked out of the Tai Chi diagram.

Laozi immediately mobilized the merits of the Heavenly Dao and poured them into the three corpses, hoping to use the power of merits to allow the three corpses to merge.

However, what Laozi did not expect was that even with the infusion of massive amounts of merit, the three corpses still could not be completely integrated, and he was unable to attain the Dao Fruit of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.

This made Laozi look a little ugly. He was just a little bit away from achieving the Dao Fruit of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, but he couldn't complete it.

At this moment, the primordial purple energy in Lao Tzu's sea of consciousness activated the merit of creation in his body. The merit of creation combined with the merit of the way of heaven, and Lao Tzu overcame that obstacle before he attained the status of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.

Afterwards, the Hongmeng purple energy entrusted a wisp of Laozi's soul to the Heavenly Way, and Laozi became a saint!
Just like when Nuwa became a saint, purple air came from the east for billions of miles in the sky, and golden lotuses emerged from the ground, covering the entire continent.

All the prehistoric beings below the level of Quasi-Saints knelt on the ground, and the Quasi-Saints bowed and saluted, congratulating in unison: "We pay our respects to the Taoist leader, the Great Compassionate Saint of the East Heaven, the Saint of Great Purity."

After accepting everyone's kneeling worship, Laozi withdrew his holy power, but there was no joy on his face at this time.

Laozi became a saint, and because of his merits in creating the world, he broke through to the peak of the second level of sainthood at the moment of becoming a saint. If he could borrow power from the way of heaven, he would be able to possess the combat power of the fourth level of sainthood, but he did not attain the Dao fruit of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.

As one of the Three Pure Ones transformed from the spirit of the great god Pangu, Laozi has always had a high opinion of himself. Nuwa was able to prove her truth with her strength, first achieving the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian and then becoming a saint, but he couldn't even achieve the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. Doesn't this mean that he is not as good as Nuwa?
What made Laozi feel even more uncomfortable was that he could clearly sense that after he attained enlightenment and became a saint, he was greatly restricted by the laws of nature and could not do anything that went against heaven.

At this time, in the void, Nuwa sighed after seeing Laozi become a saint, and said: "Big Brother is worthy of being a Pangu orthodox. As soon as he became a saint, he reached the peak of the second level of the saintly world."

“Fellow Daoist Nuwa, you are a person who has attained the Dao through the Law. Even if I have reached the peak of the Second Heaven of Sainthood, I am still no match for you, right?”

"Big Brother can borrow strength from Heaven."

"Is it not possible for Daoist Nuwa?"

Nuwa shook her head and said, "Borrowing power from the Heavenly Dao is equivalent to deepening the connection with the Heavenly Dao. If I want to break away from the Heavenly Dao in the future, I must reduce my connection with the Heavenly Dao as much as possible and avoid borrowing power if possible."

"So that's how it is. If Daoist Nüwa doesn't borrow strength from Heaven, then it's like the first level of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian fighting against the fourth level of Saint. I also have an innate treasure, so it's hard to say who will win."

"Yes! If I didn't have the innate treasure, I would have the confidence to defeat him even if he was three small realms higher than me. But he has the innate treasure in his hand, and he is three small realms higher than me, so I can only fight him to a draw at most.

Of course, if I really fight him to the death, I will definitely borrow the power of heaven at all costs, and then I will definitely not be my opponent."

“After Laozi became a saint, he was able to reach the peak of the second level of sainthood with the merits of creating the world. Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu should also be able to reach the second level of sainthood. With the power of heaven, they can reach the peak of the third level of sainthood. I’m afraid I can’t beat any of these three people.” Bai Jing said helplessly.

"What if they don't borrow the power of heaven?" Nuwa asked.

"Then they shouldn't be able to beat me. I have no problem dealing with a second-level saint." Bai Jing replied with a smile.

"Is it the same for Fellow Daoist Dijiang?"

"almost."

"If we add the help of Fellow Daoist Hou Tu and the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, then Fellow Daoist Bai Jing, your plan should be able to proceed smoothly."

Bai Jing shook his head and said, "I've never been worried about saints."

Nuwa understood what Bai Jing meant. She also knew what he meant.

Turning my attention back to Laozi, I had calmed down by now.

Now that he has attained sainthood, there is no way to redeem himself. He can only seek a way to transcend later.

Thinking of this, Laozi descended from the clouds. His figure hovered on the top of Shouyang Mountain. He raised his eyes again and looked at the countless heads crawling on the ground below. Finally, his gaze once again rested on the young human creature.

The big hand under his sleeve counted a few times, and then his brows relaxed. He nodded slightly and thought to himself: "This person really has a master-disciple relationship with me, but the Tao cannot be taught in person, so I will test him!"

"What's your name?" Laozi's voice sounded beside Xuandu's ears.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Du first looked around and found that no one else had any unusual reaction. Only then did he confirm that the saint was only talking to him, so he quickly prostrated himself on the ground and said loudly: "Saint, my name is Xuan Du."

“Shan, you and I are destined to meet. If you can come to Kunlun and find me, you will be very lucky.” After saying that, Laozi raised his hand and pointed at Xuandu’s brow from a distance. Immediately, a route to Kunlun Mountain appeared in Xuandu’s mind.

After doing this, I disappeared.

Xuandu looked at the route in his mind. The road was full of mountains and rivers, but Xuandu's eyes were extremely firm. He secretly made up his mind to go to Kunlun Mountain to see the saint again.

In the original history of the prehistoric times, Xuandu visited 99 immortal mountains in order to seek immortality. All of these cultivators, without exception, despised Xuandu for having too poor a foundation and were unwilling to accept him as a disciple. It was only later that he was noticed by Laozi and accepted as a disciple.

In the present prehistoric world, the human race has the "Human Ancestor Sutra" given by Bai Jing, so Xuandu naturally does not need to leave the human race to seek immortality, but if he wants to worship Taiqing Laozi as a teacher, he still has to go through a lot of hardships. After Laozi left Shouyang Mountain, he returned directly to Kunlun Mountain.

When Yuanshi and Tongtian saw their brother return from becoming a saint, they immediately stepped forward and bowed to congratulate him: "Congratulations, elder brother, on becoming a saint."

The old man helped his two younger brothers up and said, "Second brother, third brother, we are probably on the wrong road."

The two men had different expressions when they heard this, but neither of them said anything, obviously waiting for Laozi to continue.

"Even if our three corpses have a huge amount of merit, they cannot be integrated to achieve the status of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian."

"Then how did you become a saint, brother?" Tongtian asked.

"After obtaining a large amount of Heavenly Dao Merit, the Heavenly Dao Merit will use the Hongmeng Purple Qi to activate the Dao Merit in our bodies, thus enabling us to become saints."

"In that case, wouldn't it be considered a meritorious deed to become a saint?"

I nodded.

"Teacher once said that becoming a saint through merit is the least powerful of the three ways to become a saint."

"Let's not talk about combat power for now. Are there any other disadvantages after becoming a saint through merit and virtue, brother?" asked Yuanshi Tianzun.

"After becoming a saint through merit, the Hongmeng Purple Qi is entrusted to the Way of Heaven, and everything needs to be done in accordance with Heaven."

"Isn't it natural to follow the will of Heaven? It's not a disadvantage, right?" said Yuanshi Tianzun.

Laozi didn't say much when he heard this. He knew what kind of Taoism Yuanshi Tianzun practiced and would not judge it too much.

Tongtian frowned, he was somewhat unwilling to become a saint like this.

The idea of educating sentient beings to gain great merit was hatched by the three brothers, but they were not sure whether the great merit gained from educating sentient beings could allow the three corpses to merge.

Laozi felt that he had the most profound Taoism and that with his great merits he would be able to complete the fusion of the three corpses and attain the Taoism fruit of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. Only then would he go to the human race to preach and establish a religion.

But Laozi had obviously failed, so Tongtian didn't want to become a saint in such a muddle.

However, before Tongtian could think it through, Yuanshi Tianzun flew to the clouds and began to preach: "Heaven is above, I am Yuqing Yuanshi, I feel that all living beings in the world are ignorant and do not understand the principles of heaven, so I have some feelings now, I want to establish a religion, its name is "Chanjiao", with Pangu Banner to suppress the destiny, meaning: follow the will of heaven, explain the way of heaven, teach according to talent, and educate all people. I hope that Heaven will see it! Chanjiao, established!"

Yuanshi Tianzun established the Chan Sect and also gained a huge amount of merit from the Heavenly Dao.

Then Yuanshi Tianzun also became a saint.

All the creatures in the ancient world once again congratulated Yuanshi Tianzun on his becoming a saint.

Tong Tian sighed and thought, "Forget it! My two brothers have chosen this path to become saints, so what else should I worry about?"

Thinking of this, Tongtian also flew into the air and established Jiejiao: "Heaven is above, I am Shangqing Tongtian, I feel that all living beings have spirits but are ignorant, and their behavior is like that of wild beasts. Now I have a feeling and want to establish a religion, which is called "Jiejiao". I will suppress the destiny with the sword formation of Zhuxian. Its purpose is to cut off a ray of life for all living beings in the world. All living beings can become my disciples. I hope Heaven will bear witness to it! Jiejiao is established!"

At this point, all the Three Pure Ones have become saints.

Just as Bai Jing thought, the Three Pure Ones all had one tenth of merit in creating the world, and Yuanshi and Tongtian achieved the cultivation level of the second level of saints after their breakthrough.

After the Three Pure Ones became saints, they also needed to preach like the Taoist master. After the three of them discussed it, Laozi informed all living beings in the prehistoric world: "We, the Three Pure Ones, became saints today. Three thousand years later, we will preach for nine thousand years in Kunlun Mountain. Each of us will preach for three thousand years. Anyone who is predestined can come and listen to our great teachings."

Upon hearing this, all the creatures in the ancient world immediately bowed to express their gratitude to the saint.

The saint’s preaching is a great opportunity for them. Every time they listen to the sermon, their strength will be improved. Everyone wishes the saint could preach more often!
At the same time, in the Western Land, Jie Yin and Zhunti could no longer sit still.

"Brother, the essence of the Three Pure Ones' teaching is to educate all living beings. You and I can follow suit. Add to that the great aspirations we have in mind, and you and I should be able to become saints today."

Jie Yin was a little hesitant when he heard this. He had now found a way to prove his truth that was more suitable for him. If he was given some more time, he might be able to go further.

Zhunti saw through Jie Yin's thoughts, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, you and I are not the teacher's direct disciples, but nominal disciples. We are not valued by the teacher. If we become saints too slowly, the teacher may not be happy. Then it will be even more difficult for us to revitalize the West."

"Everything comes and goes because of cause and effect. That's all! That's all! Let's become saints today!"

Zhunti's eyes lit up, and he immediately flew into the air with Jie Yin. Then two vast and ethereal Taoist sounds sounded from the west.
