Primordial Era: I, Wutu, govern the Earthly Dao and suppress the Heavenly Dao.

Chapter 121 Hongjun Collapses! I cannot become a saint, yet she is choosing to prove herself a saint?

"My failure to attain enlightenment is not due to fate, but to yours!"

Hongjun was filled with extreme grief and let out a furious roar of resentment.

"Teacher, please be careful what you say!"

Upon hearing this, Yuqing Yuanshi's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly tried to stop him again, feeling sorry for the Three Lights Divine Water.

But this time, he could no longer stop Hongjun.

"Why should I be careful what I say? As your teacher, there's no need for me to worry about such things!"

Hongjun was annoyed and with a flick of his sleeve, he sent his disciple Yuqing flying more than a hundred miles away.

Hongjun, what a clever move he made!

Even if I'm furious, this time I'll only mention you, not Zhen Yuanzi and Lao Wutu!

I have no confirmed target, so what can you do to me?

"What can you do to me?"

Hongjun had already realized the truth.

He established the Xuanmen sect based on the Dao of Immortality, but the root of the Dao of Immortality lies in him, this Chaos Demon God.

Because Qingli founded the Human Religion based on the Great Dao of the Holy Humanity, he must first prove the Dao himself in order to demonstrate that the Immortal Path can lead to the attainment of the Dao!

Only in this way can one wield the treasure of the Heavenly Dao's authority!

He hasn't proven his faith, so how can he prove it?

If one seeks enlightenment, why establish a mystical sect?

This was absolutely Zhen Yuanzi's scheme!

If it weren't for Zhen Yuanzi's deliberate scheming against him, when Qing Li founded the Human Sect, there were clearly other magical treasures to suppress the fortune, but this old Wutu just happened to stop it in time and bestowed upon him the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen!

This also prevented him from attaining sainthood through the power and fortune of the Heavenly Dao, since he lacked the treasure that corresponded to the Heavenly Dao!

If Zhen Yuanzi hadn't done it on purpose, he could have used this as a reason to interrupt and obstruct him when announcing the establishment of the Xuanmen in the prehistoric world!

But this old Earth element is missing!

That old Wu Earth was doing it on purpose, deliberately wanting to make a fool of him!

He deliberately made all living beings in the primordial world witness his failure to become a saint!

"Damn it! Damn it all!"

Having lost his large bowl of noodles, Hongjun gritted his teeth and could no longer contain himself, suddenly bursting into laughter: "Yes! I, Hongjun, am unable to attain sainthood!"

"But what about Qing Li? Isn't that acceptable too?"

"Having accumulated immeasurable merit for so long, yet there hasn't been the slightest sign of it—hahahaha~"

This laughter was mad, both divine and demonic.

It seems that this laughter is a way of masking the fact that all spirits acknowledge his defeat.

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, have you forgotten that you address me as 'Fellow Daoist'?"

A cold, sharp shout suddenly came from the direction of Buzhou Mountain.

This sound carried an aura of grandeur that transcended all living beings!

Even Hongjun, who had reached the level of a half-saint, and Luo Hou, who was at the half-step Hunyuan realm, couldn't help but freeze!

"This aura—"

The smile that had been blooming on Hongjun's old face froze instantly, then turned grim—

He could clearly sense that Qing Li's aura was dozens of times stronger than before!

This is far beyond what he, a mere half-saint, could achieve; he is on the verge of breaking through the bottleneck of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm and attaining sainthood in just one step!

"this----"

Hongjun's pupils contracted sharply, and his Dao heart surged with turmoil. "She—she's about to attain sainthood?"

"She's really going to prove herself!"

At this moment, the powerful demons and gods, including Wu Xing and Luo Hou, all had extremely ugly expressions.

Qiankun gazed at Mount Buzhou, his eyes filled with bitterness. "It's one thing for him to attain the Primordial Dao, but now even his disciple is going to do so?"

Yin Yang sighed helplessly in the Seventh Heaven, "He beat me to it, and now even my disciple is going to beat me to it—alas~"

Luo Hou glanced at Hongjun, who was unable to attain enlightenment, and then looked at Buzhou Mountain. Instead of feeling bitter, he was happy!

"Hmm~ Although Qingli is about to attain enlightenment, it is still better than Hongjun becoming a saint."

"After all, Qingli is his disciple. If he wanted to kill me, he would have done so long ago."

"So having one more disciple who has attained the Primordial Dao is nothing special—"

"But if Hongjun truly becomes a saint, he will surely kill me immediately!"

"They might even join forces with the Five Elements who guided him!"

"But now—hehehe~"

At this point, the truly bitter element must be the Five Elements.

"Oh no! This is terrible!"

"If Hongjun cannot become a saint, then my previous guidance to him is completely worthless!"

"His murderous intent will surely reignite!"

"Furthermore, if Qing Li also attains sainthood, then at the half-saint realm, he will only be even more anxious and eager to kill me!"

"I—I—"

The Five Elements, targeted by two demigods, suffer greatly in their pursuit of Dao.

Wanting to vent the frustration pent up inside, he exclaimed, "Damn it! The killing has really arrived!"

Only the phrase "I am grass," created by Hongjun, could express his bitterness.

"Holy crap! I understand now! Lady Qingli wasn't just inactive; she was making a decision!"

"Holy crap! I understand now! The reason Lady Qingli is speaking out now is to tell us, the living beings, that she is choosing between proving the Dao and becoming a saint!"

"Holy crap! We still have to rely on our compassionate and merciful Lady Qingli!"

All the spirits sensed that they were about to break through to a higher realm, yet there was no sign of it yet; they were all shocked and enlightened.

After all, before Qingli, there was Zhen Yuanzi, a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal. They naturally knew what heights Qingli would reach after her breakthrough.

Based on their various astonishing statements, it is entirely evident that the phrase "My grass," which Hongjun painstakingly created, is far more applicable than the Xuanmen (mystical sect) he founded.

Hongjun:

Attaining enlightenment and becoming a saint are two separate paths!

Proving the Dao means to understand one's own Great Dao and reach the realm of the Primordial Golden Immortal.

To become a saint is to take advantage of the power of heaven, earth, and humanity to ascend to the top of the primordial world in one step and achieve the status of a saint.

Although they appear similar, they are fundamentally different.

The former is freedom, the latter is constraint!

For outsiders, attaining enlightenment and sainthood is extremely difficult.

But Qingli cultivates the Great Dao of Creation and obtains immeasurable merit and fortune.

For her now, whether it is to prove the Dao of Hunyuan through the laws of creation or to prove the Dao of sainthood through immeasurable merit, it is all a natural progression, and she can step into it in one step!

Whether to attain enlightenment or become a saint, she was caught in a dilemma of weighing the pros and cons.

Let's look at Hongjun again~

He racked his brains trying to become a Heavenly Saint, but to no avail.

When you compare the two, you won't know until you compare them, and the comparison will shock you!

One failed to become a saint, while the other actually succeeded—the difference is simply too great!

Hongjun's old face turned from green to white, then from white to purple. "A choice? She's actually making a choice?"

"I have failed to achieve sainthood, yet she is caught in the choice of whether to attain sainthood through enlightenment?"

"This is absolutely infuriating!"

"Pfft~"

Overwhelmed with anger, Hongjun spat out a mouthful of blood.

Upon seeing this, Shangqing Tongtian hurriedly stepped forward to help his teacher up.

Hongjun, as the teacher, was so angered that he broke down. His disciples Nuwa and Taiqing were also consumed by rage, dizzy and disoriented, and finally collapsed.

Nuwa was finally stabilized when Fuxi held her tightly in his arms.

Her face turned deathly pale, and she broke down screaming, "A choice? She still needs to make a choice?"

"Her teacher was already a Primordial Golden Immortal, how could she, as his disciple, possibly attain sainthood? Would she be bound by the human path?"

"She's deliberately trying to anger me! To corrupt my resolve!"

Yuqing originally wanted to lock his elder brother in his arms, but what could he do when his elder brother had just been blasted away by Hongjun to a hundred miles away?

So he could only watch helplessly as his third brother helped up his teacher and eldest brother!

Yu Qing was dumbfounded. "Spoiling her like this is absolutely unacceptable!"

Taiqing's face was extremely ugly, as pale as paper. "His true form is a thirty-third grade Creation Green Lotus, which is capable of transcending the primordial world. Even if he were born and transformed in the primordial world, why would he give up this path of transcendence and attain sainthood?"

"But why did she still have to make a choice? Why?"

Not only were they puzzled, but the other powerful figures were also greatly surprised, and they all began to speculate on the reasons behind Qing Li's choice.

As for Qingli herself, she has now made her decision: "I hereby declare to my teacher, I will attain sainthood!"
