Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I pioneered a divine kingdom of faith.

Chapter 39 A Great Religion is Established, and a Sage Appears

Lao Tzu spent a hundred years traveling among the human tribes, transforming into a mortal.

It was discovered that although the human race is currently weak, it has never given up. It is fighting against the heavens, the earth, and the monsters. Despite its weakness, it has never given up.

More importantly, unlike other races in the primordial world, the human race reproduced very quickly, growing to a population of billions in just a few thousand years.

If there is enough time, it is only a matter of time before humans spread throughout the prehistoric world.

At the same time, Lao Tzu also discovered the biggest problem.

That is because humans do not have a method of cultivation.

Fighting against demonic beasts is achieved by sacrificing human lives. Some humans have strong physiques due to consuming spiritual fruits, while others have strong souls.

They were all very weak, but they tenaciously survived in the primordial wilderness.

Lao Tzu transformed into an ordinary person, and that transformation lasted for a hundred years.

On this day, Lao Tzu sat at the entrance of a village, calmly contemplating his path to sainthood.

A young man knelt before Lao Tzu.

"Old immortal, please accept me as your disciple."

A sudden inspiration struck Lao Tzu. Looking at the young man kneeling before him, the previously hazy truth of the heavens instantly became clear.

The path to sainthood is right before your eyes.

"Why do you want to become my disciple?" Lao Tzu asked the young man.

"Old Immortal, you have been in the village since I was born. Now that I have grown up, you have not changed at all. I think you must be a highly respected immortal." The young man spoke his mind.

Over the years, he has been seeking immortality and enlightenment.

"Hahaha, you! Fine, we can be considered to have a master-disciple relationship. I am Taiqing Laozi, the head of the Three Pure Ones. Would you like to become my disciple?" Laozi said to the young man.

"Xuandu pays respects to Master!!" Xuandu's face lit up with joy, and he bowed directly in front of Laozi, bowing respectfully nine times.

The only direct disciple of Laozi (the Taoist master).

"Foolish child, get up first," Laozi said to Xuandu.

Xuandu respectfully stood up from the ground and stood beside Laozi.

Boundless celestial light emanated from Lao Tzu's body, and auspicious clouds of merit appeared behind his head.

"I am Laozi, the Taiqing, transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu. Today, I transmit the Golden Elixir Dao to the human race, establish the Human Sect, and use the supreme treasure, the Taiji Diagram, to suppress destiny. The Human Sect is established!!!!"

Lao Tzu's voice resounded throughout the primordial world.

Di Fang opened his eyes. Purple energy stretched across 30,000 miles, but this was far more than just 30,000 miles; it basically spanned the entire primordial world.

The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth appeared, auspicious clouds emerged in the sky, and golden lotuses sprang from the earth.

Countless merits fell upon him.

With a hint of enlightenment in his eyes, Lao Tzu uttered a low shout: "If we don't act now, when will we?!"

A purple light merged into Laozi's soul, accompanied by boundless merits of creating the world and establishing a religion, and Laozi's aura instantly broke through.

saint!!!!

I've become a saint!

On Mount Kunlun, Tongtian and Yuanshi opened their eyes.

A hint of bitterness appeared in Yuanshi's eyes: "My elder brother has become a saint."

Tongtian nodded. The Three Pure Ones were originally one, but now that Laozi has become a saint first, where does their opportunity to become saints lie?

"Foolish child, if you don't wake up now, when will you ever wake up?!" Lao Tzu's voice echoed in the minds of Yuan Shi and Tong Tian.

The primordial beginning and the connection to heaven were like a sudden awakening, bringing a moment of clarity to the mind.

"I understand now, thank you, elder brother!!!" Yuanshi's eyes gleamed.

"Me too!" Tongtian said in a deep voice.

As Yuanshi took his first step, boundless merits emerged.

"I am the Primordial Beginning of Jade Purity, transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu. Having felt the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and comprehended its ultimate principles, I dedicate myself to elucidating the Dao for all beings. Today, I establish a new sect: Chan. With the supreme treasure, the Pangu Banner, I will suppress the flow of destiny. The Chan Sect is established!!!!"

Endless purple energy surged forth, and heavenly merits descended. Countless beings in the primordial world now felt the divine might twice.

But it's not over yet.

Tongtian stepped forward.

"I am Shangqing Tongtian, transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu. Sensing the great Dao of Heaven and Earth, which comprises fifty Daos and forty-nine Heavenly Daos, I have chosen to seize one for all living beings. I will teach all without discrimination, and today I establish a new sect called Jie (Intercept), using the innate spiritual treasure Qingping Sword to suppress its destiny: Jie Sect is established!!!"

Countless merits emerged from the Heavenly Dao, and the third wave of divine might swept across the primordial world.

Three saints emerged in one day.

Western lands.

On Mount Sumeru, Zhunti and Jieyin wore bitter expressions. Now that Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones have become saints, they are all disciples of Hongjun, but they alone have not yet had any opportunity to become saints.

"Senior brother, what should we do?" Zhunti asked Jieyin.

Jieyin's face showed a hint of bitterness, as if he suddenly thought of something.

"Junior brother, we can also learn from the Three Pure Ones, establish our own religion, and become saints," Jieyin said to Zhunti.

Zhunti nodded, seemingly without any problem.

Jieyin and Zhunti appeared simultaneously above Mount Sumeru.

"I am Zhunti/Jieyin. Today, moved by the great Dao of Heaven and Earth, in order to guide all beings toward goodness, I establish a religion called: Buddha! With the innate spiritual treasure, the Seven Treasures Tree, and the Golden Lotus of Merit to suppress the destiny, Buddhism is established!!!"

The heavens trembled, and countless merits gathered, but they were slow to fall.

Zhunti and Jieyin looked bitter; they knew it wouldn't be that simple.

He then began to perform meritorious deeds through loans and made fifty great vows!

Heavenly merits and virtues have just been bestowed.

The two then became saints on the spot.

The so-called Fifty Great Vows are, to put it bluntly, things that Buddhism will do in the future, which is why it is said to be a meritorious act of lending money.

As for defaulting on the debt?

In the primordial world, who would dare to renege on the debt of Heaven's will? Haven't you ever died?

The creatures of the primordial era have become numb.

First came the Three Pure Ones, then the Two Sages of the West.

Five saints appeared in one day!

The age of sages has arrived.

Di Fang opened his eyes and looked at Hong Huang with a complex expression in his eyes.

With the emergence of the Five Saints, plus Nuwa, all six destined saints have been born. The only one left to obtain the Primordial Purple Qi is Hongyun.

Hongyun is now hiding in Wuzhuang Temple.

It can't be said that she hid; rather, she was imprisoned in Wuzhuang Temple by Zhen Yuanzi. Hongyun, carefree and oblivious, was unaware of her predicament.

But doesn't Zhen Yuanzi know this yet?

When Zhen Yuanzi obtained the Primordial Purple Qi from Hongyun, he realized something was wrong. The Three Pure Ones were Hongjun's direct disciples, Nuwa was his closed-door disciple, and the Two Western Saints were his nominal disciples.

They all obtained the Primordial Purple Qi, but don't forget, they are disciples personally selected by the Primordial World, and no one dares to touch them or covet their Primordial Purple Qi.

Hongyun was the only one who had no backing for the Primordial Purple Qi he obtained. If it weren't for Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi would not have been able to control the Primordial Earth Veins and set up the Earth Book Array.

Wuzhuang Temple had long been razed to the ground.

How could Hongyun still be alive today?

Now that all six saints have emerged, only Hongyun, who has obtained the Primordial Purple Qi but has not yet become a saint, remains.

Both Di Jun and Tai Yi have their eyes on Hong Yun, and so do Kun Peng, another top-tier evil spirit in the Styx Primordial World.

The saying "below the sage, all are but ants" is not just a saying.

Hongyun was kept under strict guard by Zhen Yuanzi. In Zhen Yuanzi's view, if Hongyun had not broken through to the Saint Realm, he would not be far from death after being away for so long.
