The Primordial Path of Kong Xuanming

The gods were lost in thought, sighing and reflecting, before each pondering the meaning behind Hongjun's last words. Kunpeng, Styx, and the others glanced at Jieyin and Zhunti, a strange glint in their eyes, clearly calculating their own intentions. Meanwhile, the Three Pure Ones and the others were contemplating Hongjun's final words before the gods went their separate ways, returning to their respective caves to reflect.

This trip to Zixiao Palace was very fruitful, the greatest of which was learning the news of those destined to become saints. Apart from the few destined to become saints, all the other immortals were thinking about how to reduce and destroy the lives of the rest, so as to increase their own chances of becoming saints.

After the Dao Ancestor merged with the Dao, there were no more great calamities, and the Zixiao Palace ceased to appear. The gods descended to the primordial world, each going about their own business.

Seeing that there was nothing of interest, Kong Xuan greeted the gods and then returned to Kunlun Mountain with Taishang, Yuanshi, and Tongtian. Kong Xuan's cultivation had come to a close, and without a great opportunity, he would not make much progress for a long time. Many beings had already entered the three secret realms on the main peak of Kunlun Mountain to cultivate, and they were mostly native to the Kunlun Mountains.

The core disciples of the Sanqing Sect had just returned from their travels. Thus, the Sanqing Daoist, Kong Xuan, and their core disciples all gathered in the Outer Heaven. After countless years of travel, the disciples no longer bore any trace of their youthful naiveté; each one possessed an air of otherworldly elegance and refined demeanor.

The Three Pure Ones distributed the spiritual treasures obtained from the Treasure Distribution Rock to their disciples. After expounding on Taoist teachings for several hours, they sent the excited disciples back to their caves.

The Three Pure Ones sat on the cloud platform, with Kong Xuan sitting below them.

Kong Xuandao: Teacher, my two senior uncles. According to what the Patriarch said, a sage will emerge in the West. According to the great trend of the balance of the Heavenly Way, two sages should emerge in the West. However, since the great war between the East and West continents, there have been no great supernatural beings in the West. It seems that these two sage positions will eventually be obtained by the Guide Daoist and the Zhunti Daoist.

The Three Pure Ones nodded in silence.

Tongtian Daoren said: Even if the two of them achieve sainthood, we in the East have four saints, and the three of us brothers alone have three saints. We are not afraid of what trouble the two in the West can cause.

Both Laozi and Yuanshi felt this deeply.

Kong Xuan continued: "Since the great war in the Western Continent, Luo Hou laid down a massive array, destroying many spiritual veins. Furthermore, virtually all living beings were conscripted into the army of the demonic cult. To this day, there are barely two or three living beings left in the West. Moreover, our patriarch once said that a Western sage would establish a religion, and a great religion would arise. Given the scarcity of Western beings, and the imperative for a great religion to flourish, it is essential to spread the teachings in the Eastern Continent. Therefore, when our Eastern sages preach, disputes are bound to arise."

The West only has two sages, so they are definitely no match for the Eastern sages. In order to spread their teachings, the Western sages will surely try to instigate internal strife among the Eastern sages. Although they may not succeed, we must still be careful.

The Supreme Taoist said: What Kong Xuan said is indeed possible. For example, if we need to establish a religion to become saints, and the doctrines of different religions differ, it is easy for the other side to take advantage of this, causing disputes among the various religions in the East, which would benefit the Western religions.
