Primordial Era: Refusing Hongjun's path to sainthood, I attained the Dao of Hunyuan.

Chapter 100 Sermon

However, Ziwei's cultivation level still shocked Nuwa. Unbeknownst to her, he had already reached the late stage of Quasi-Saint.

Moreover, it is extremely profound, making it difficult for me to explore.

"Speaking of which, Ziwei and Junior Brother Xuanhuang are really similar, but he is even more arrogant than Junior Brother Xuanhuang. He didn't even attend Master Hongjun's three sermons, but now he's come to me instead," Nuwa thought to herself.

Just as he was about to withdraw his attention from Ziwei, he couldn't help but be drawn to the disciples accompanying Ziwei.

"This is……"

Nuwa was startled again. It was one thing that she couldn't see through Ziwei, but now even his disciple gave her the feeling that she couldn't understand him.

Nuwa immediately began to calculate the Six Ears again.

In the Nuwa Palace, Ziwei, accompanied by Liu Er, was sitting quietly to one side when she suddenly felt something.

A moment later, he looked up and saw that Nuwa had also opened her eyes and was looking at him.

Ziwei shook her head and gave a wry smile.

"So your disciple is actually the Six-Eared Macaque, one of the Four Monkeys of Heaven and Earth. He was born with extraordinary abilities and can hear the voice of Heaven and Earth. No news can escape his notice. No wonder you can understand the secrets of Heaven and Earth even without leaving the starry sky." Nuwa's voice echoed in Ziwei's mind.

Ziwei quickly said, "I hope Your Majesty will not tell anyone about this, otherwise my disciple's life will be in danger."

"Moreover, his ability is not that great. No matter how strong his supernatural powers are, if his cultivation is insufficient, it will all be in vain. Your Majesty is also aware of this."

Nuwa said, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I was just sighing." Nuwa was somewhat surprised to see how much Ziwei cared for her disciple, and at the same time, she felt even more favorably toward Ziwei.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Ziwei said.

Nuwa stopped speaking. After a while, no one else came. Nuwa finally looked at everyone and said, "Fellow Daoists, although I have now attained sainthood, I have only taken a step ahead on the great path."

"Moreover, although there are only a limited number of Heavenly Saints, there is no such restriction on Grand Luo Golden Immortals of Primordial Chaos. Therefore, everyone has the hope of attaining sainthood. Today, I will share my experience of becoming a saint with you all."

"May you all gain something, comprehend the Dao soon, attain the state of Hunyuan, and live a carefree and unfettered life!"

Upon hearing Nuwa's words, everyone was immediately excited, even the Three Pure Ones were moved. They never expected that Nuwa would even share her own insights on becoming a saint, and they all exclaimed in unison, "Your Majesty is truly virtuous."

Nuwa ignored everyone and sat upright on her cloud bed. Auspicious clouds appeared above her head, and within them, the map of mountains and rivers faintly shimmered, emanating an aura of majesty.

At the same time, Nuwa began to recount her various insights and experiences in attaining enlightenment. After an unknown amount of time, everyone awoke, only to find that Nuwa had stopped her sermon.

"I have finished explaining my understanding; please return now," Nuwa said to the crowd.

"Thank you for spreading the teachings, Your Majesty."

Everyone bowed in thanks and then departed. Ziwei, leading Liu'er, quietly left from the crowd.

As she returned to Ziwei Star, Ziwei couldn't help but sigh in her heart that there was indeed a huge gap between a saint and a quasi-saint. If she hadn't used her trick of concealing her identity with the luck of the demon race, Nuwa would probably have found out about her.

Just think about it, Nuwa went from the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint to Saint in one leap. Such a transformation is truly astonishing and unbelievable.

Proving one's Dao through merit is even more outrageous than proving one's Dao by severing the three corpses.

Severing the three corpses is at least a step-by-step process. Merit and virtue lead to enlightenment. Even an ordinary being without any cultivation could become a saint if they had enough merit.

Moreover, judging from Nuwa's appearance, after achieving sainthood through merit, her cultivation and spiritual attainment also reached a corresponding level.

Not a single one was missed. This is even more frustrating.

It was as if his arduous cultivation over countless millennia had been easily overtaken and surpassed in a single day.

How can this not make one feel bitter?

"Teacher, this sage's sermon is truly amazing. I listened to it just once, and my cultivation has increased so much. I'm afraid I'll be able to break through to the Quasi-Sage level soon," Liu Er said excitedly.

But Ziwei snorted and said, "You're happy now, but you don't know that your background has been seen through."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Er was greatly alarmed.

After scratching his head and thinking for a while, he tentatively asked, "Could it be... a sage?"

Ziwei nodded.

The monkey bared its teeth for a while, but in the end, it hesitated and looked at Ziwei, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Ziwei then asked, "What's wrong? Is there something else?"

"Yes."

Liu Er thought for a moment and said, "Master, I have a question."

"explain."

"Teacher, I've always wanted to ask, is it really impossible to tell anyone about my background?"

Six Ears said earnestly, "Although my background is a bit special, I can't keep hiding like this forever, can I?"

"Ugh."

Upon hearing this, Ziwei sighed and said, "These past years have been hard on you. But it will be over soon."

"After a while, perhaps you won't need to hide it anymore."

Liu Er couldn't help but show excitement, but then Zi Wei said, "But for now, it's best if you don't show your face to avoid trouble."

"Is your background really that special? Don't you know that yourself? Last time, while I was in seclusion, you used your supernatural powers to eavesdrop on other great masters' sermons. Do you think I didn't know?"

Liu Er's face immediately showed astonishment and panic.

"Teacher, I was wrong," Liu Er said quickly.

"snort!"

Ziwei snorted coldly, "It's too late. Once we get back to Ziwei Star, I'll give you a good beating, you increasingly audacious monkey."

"No!" Liu Er cried out in agony.

……

After Nuwa became a saint, many undercurrents stirred up in the primordial world, but ultimately, they did not affect the overall situation.

On Yingzhou Island, Xuanhuang spent ten thousand years comprehending the Dao of Destruction contained within the Hunyuan Sword.

On this day, Xuanhuang woke up, thought for a moment, and then came to the front of Xuanhuang Palace, set up a platform, and then, without summoning the creatures on the island, began to preach.

"The Great Dao is boundless; from the boundless comes the Supreme Ultimate; from the Supreme Ultimate comes the Two Forms; from the Two Forms come the Four Symbols; from the Four Symbols come the Five Elements..."

Xuanhuang seemed to be preaching the Dao, or perhaps sorting out his own Dao, and the hazy sound of the Dao began to echo throughout the entire Yingzhou Island.

At first, the creatures on the island didn't quite understand what was happening, but the more they listened, the more engrossed they became, gradually losing themselves in the music and listening intently.

Even the three plum trees in front of the Xuanhuang Hall, and the orchids, couldn't help but sway slightly.

It seemed to have developed sentience and was listening to the lecture.

Xuanhuang preached for a full thousand years. The preaching gradually stopped, and when the creatures on the island awoke and opened their eyes, Xuanhuang was nowhere to be seen in front of the Xuanhuang Hall.

Even the altar that had been erected had disappeared.

At this time, Xuanhuang had already left Yingzhou Island and returned to the primordial land.

Xuanhuang found his disciple in the southern lands, and saw that Kong Xuan's cultivation had improved again.

Now he has reached the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and only needs a little more accumulation to advance to the Quasi-Saint realm.

"Now that you've advanced to Quasi-Saint level, do you plan to sever your three corpses, or what?" Xuanhuang asked Kong Xuan.

"Teacher, I do not intend to sever the three corpses. Instead, I will follow your example, comprehend my own Dao, and break through with my Dao cultivation," Kong Xuan replied.
