Emperor Wu Shihuang's handwriting, do not go out of the Milky Way border

"Ding! The system is consuming faith points to ripen the Tongtian Jianmu..." As the system prompt sounded, a green seedling slowly floated out from between Ying Zheng's eyebrows and hovered above his head.

The seedling exuded a faint green light, and the three leaves glowed, as if a small world was evolving. This was the highest-grade Hongmeng treasure owned by Ying Zheng - the Tongtian Jianmu seedling.

"Buzz!" The towering Jianmu glowed with brilliant light, and its branches began to grow slowly. At the same time, the faith points on Ying Zheng's panel were also decreasing rapidly.

In the process of ripening the Tongtian Jianmu, Ying Zheng fell into a wonderful state. He seemed to witness the birth of a new world with his own eyes, from the sun, moon, stars, space order to mountains, rivers, oceans, and the evolution of lower life and intelligent life.

His understanding of life and evolution became increasingly profound.

……

On the other hand, Laozi followed Ying Zheng's advice and traveled around the wild land.

Wherever he went, he enjoyed the scenery. Although he had not yet sensed the opportunity to attain enlightenment, he felt very happy, as if all his worries had disappeared.

This day, the sun is shining brightly.

Laozi was holding a crutch and walking slowly through a mountain range.

"Huh?" He suddenly exclaimed, a hint of surprise in his eyes. He saw a faint pattern emerging in front of him, purple lightning interweaving, and the sun's true fire flashing, which was obviously a formation.

Laozi counted with his fingers, his eyes lit up, "So this is the shore of the four seas, and also the habitat of the human race!"

He guessed that the formation before him should have been set up by Nuwa to protect the human race.

"By the way, Ying Zheng once said that although the human race is an acquired race, it may have its own unique features. If you have the chance, you might as well go and see them." Ying Zheng's words suddenly emerged in Laozi's mind.

"Human race? Well, I'll go and take a look." Laozi made up his mind, and after casting several spells in succession, he flashed through the formation.

For him, this formation was naturally no problem. After all, he was a late-stage quasi-sage who had killed three corpses.

After entering the human habitat, Laozi encountered a group of playful children. Their innocent eyes shocked Laozi's mind, and the Hongmeng purple energy in his soul also trembled slightly.

This surprised him greatly.

"Could it be that this opportunity to become a saint is related to the children of the human race?" Laozi thought to himself and followed the children to the human tribe.

He saw that the people here were hardworking and simple. Although they had no cultivation, they were self-reliant. Although their lives were hard, they always had a sincere smile on their faces.

"Boom!" At a certain moment, Laozi's soul suddenly trembled, and the Hongmeng purple energy emitted a hazy purple light, and the Tao was infinite and wonderful.

Laozi was overjoyed. Under the guidance of heaven, he finally understood his chance to attain enlightenment - it was the human race!
"Om!" Laozi sat cross-legged on the ground, emitting a faint golden light. He began to talk about the principles of the Great Dao, and talked about the way to cultivate the innate Dao body of the human race.

Laozi preached for three years, and people came to listen.

"Om!" Three years later, Laozi suddenly stopped preaching and offered up the Tai Chi diagram, the innate treasure. The Tai Chi diagram suddenly unfolded in the sky, shaking the heaven and earth.

"I am the first disciple of Hongjun, the Taiqing Laozi transformed from Pangu's original spirit. Today I establish the Human Religion, educate the human race, and become the leader of the human race. I will suppress the destiny with the innate treasure Taijitu!" Laozi's voice resounded throughout the world...

"Humanity, stand!" As soon as the words fell...

In an instant, the ancient world seemed to be shaken by a mysterious force. Melodious fairy music echoed across the sky, the rhythm of the avenue surged in the sky, and all kinds of wonders of heaven and earth came one after another, gorgeous and dazzling.

Then, above the sky, a vast and boundless cloud of merit and auspiciousness gathered and slowly descended.

A part of it fell gently among the human race, causing many human members to make rapid progress in their cultivation and their qualifications were also significantly improved.

Another small part floated towards Kunlun Mountain and was eventually absorbed by Ying Zheng.

The vast majority of the remaining energy was completely absorbed into Laozi's body, reflecting the merits of Pangu's creation of the world in his primordial spirit and gradually merging into one.

"This is the time for a breakthrough, how can we miss it?!"

Laozi's body flew into the air, golden lotus came out of his mouth, and he shouted in a low voice.

In an instant, purple mist rose between heaven and earth, stretching for thirty thousand miles. Fairy music filled the air, smallpox flew from the sky, and countless fairies in colorful clothes danced in the air, as if the whole heaven and earth were celebrating the birth of the saint.

The aura in Lao Tzu's body rose rapidly, and he stood proudly in the void, appearing both majestic and sacred. A majestic pressure swept across the entire prehistoric world, and countless creatures knelt down to welcome the arrival of the saint.

Afterwards, Laozi followed the example of Nuwa and placed his soul on the way of heaven.

At this point, Lao Tzu successfully stepped into the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian and became a saint of heaven. From then on, no matter how many disasters he experienced, he would be immortal.

"Although I have achieved enlightenment, I still owe a favor to Junior Sister Nuwa and Junior Brother Ying Zheng." There was a chaotic light flashing in Laozi's eyes. He looked affectionately in the direction of Kunlun Mountain and whispered to himself.

It turns out that the human race was created by Nuwa, and Ying Zheng was honored as the Holy Father. They had great kindness towards the human race.

Laozi established a religion and became a saint with the help of the human race, thus forming a cause and effect relationship with them.

As for why Ying Zheng was able to gain a cloud of success and virtue, there are two main reasons:
One reason is that Lao Tzu received "inadvertent" guidance from Ying Zheng during the process of proving the Tao; the other reason is that Ying Zheng possesses the Kongtong Seal, the greatest treasure of the human race, and enjoys 30% of the luck of the human race.

At the same time, as the news of Laozi's enlightenment and sainthood spread, the entire prehistoric world became excited again.

"Oh my god! Another powerful person has attained sainthood!"

"Yes, in just a few hundred years, another Heavenly Saint was born!"

"This is not surprising. After all, I am the chief disciple of Hongjun Daozu and the eldest senior brother of Xuanmen. Since Nuwa Niangniang can become a saint, he should also become a saint."

"It seems that the other two of the Three Pure Ones are about to attain enlightenment, right?"

Many powerful people discussed this.

As expected, it seemed to confirm their words.

In an instant, two powerful auras rushed up into the sky from the direction of Kunlun Mountain, shaking the heaven and earth.

"I am the disciple of Hongjun Daozu, the original Tianzun transformed from Pangu's primordial spirit. Today, I follow the way of heaven and explain the mysteries of heaven. I establish the Chan Sect here and use the innate treasure Pangu Banner to suppress the destiny!"

"Explain the teaching and establish it!"

The Original Heavenly Venerable stood proudly in the void, with an upright posture, a solemn face, and the rhythm of the Tao coming out of his mouth.

As the word "Li" fell, the heaven and earth shook and the sound of thunder resounded through the sky.

Purple air surged in from the east again, stretching for thirty thousand miles, with melodious celestial music and lingering sound.

Just like when Lao Tzu attained enlightenment, endless auspicious clouds of merit poured into the body of Yuanshi Tianzun, causing his momentum to continue to rise, and finally he stepped into the ethereal holy realm.

A terrifying pressure second only to Laozi's swept across the entire prehistoric world. Countless creatures knelt on the ground again, welcoming the birth of another saint.

It turned out that after hearing Lao Tzu's declaration of enlightenment, Yuanshi Tianzun had some insights in his heart and finally realized his own opportunity to attain enlightenment.

“Without a sect, you cannot become a saint!”

Therefore, in accordance with the general trend of the Way of Heaven, Yuanshi Tianzun finally established the teaching of Chan and attained the Way of Hunyuan.

Just as the mighty pressure from Yuanshi Tianzun had not yet dissipated, the heaven and earth suddenly shook again, and purple thunder rolled. Countless auspicious signs and auspicious scenes appeared at the top of the sky.

"I am a disciple of Hongjun Daozu, the Tongtian Daoist transformed from Pangu's original spirit. Today, I have established a great sect called Jiejiao, which aims to seize a ray of hope to educate all living beings. My sect teaches everyone, and anyone who has a heart for the Tao can join my Jiejiao!"

"Stop teaching, stand!"

A loud voice resounded throughout the ancient world, and auspicious clouds of merit and virtue gathered again, with thousands of auspicious colors.

Soon, Tongtian Jiaozhu also achieved the status of a Heavenly Saint by establishing a religion, just like Yuanshi Tianzun.

The mighty pressure emanating from his body swept across the entire prehistoric world.

This time, countless creatures in the prehistoric world simply knelt on the ground and did not stand up.

They were all thinking in their hearts: "Since the Three Pure Ones have successively attained sainthood, will there be other saints of the Heavenly Dao?"

Things in the world are often so wonderful.

Just as all living beings thought, not long after Master Tongtian became a saint, two powerful auras rose up in the Western Paradise and rushed into the sky.

The two men were shrouded in golden Buddha light, and behind them there was a faint shadow of a compassionate Buddha.

Sanskrit sounds rang out, the relics' original light flickered, and a huge Bodhi tree climbed in the void. As it swayed, the sky and earth were shining with golden light.

The Buddha's body exudes a faint Zen light, evolving into all kinds of beautiful and mysterious scenes of the Western Paradise, presenting endless joy and temptation one by one.

Countless Bodhisattvas and Arhats knelt down, and an artistic conception filled with great compassion, great bliss, and great temptation spread, as if to save all living beings in the world.

"Today, I, Jie Yin and Zhunti, jointly founded the Western Great Religion, aiming to develop the realm of bliss and teach the Dharma to all living beings."

"Western religion is officially established!"

In the void, Jie Yin and Zhunti shouted in unison, lotus flowers bloomed and maxims flowed between their words, finally announcing the birth of Western religion.

"Boom!"

As Jie Yin and Zhunti finished speaking, a huge cloud of merit gathered in the sky again, but it did not descend for a long time.

Seeing this scene, Jie Yin and Zhunti were both horrified and anxious.

"Brother, the situation is not good. We brothers do not have the great merits of the Three Pure Ones in creating the world. The merits we have gained from establishing the religion now seem to be insufficient to help us achieve the realm of Hunyuan!" Zhunti said anxiously with a solemn expression.

"Ugh!"

When Jie Yin heard this, he seemed to have expected it. He sighed softly, and his eyes revealed the regret of a Buddha.

He looked up at the auspicious clouds of merit floating in the sky, and slowly said to Zhunti: "Brother, don't worry. I have a good plan, but it will only bring me huge karma."

"Brother, even if the karma is huge, there is no other choice now!"

"Oh, that's all it can do."

After Jie Yin sighed again, he told Zhunti his plan in detail.

Then, the two of them spoke again in unison, and the lotus blossomed again between their words, with a long-lasting Zen meaning.

"If I attain the supreme Bodhi and achieve enlightenment, the Buddha land where I live will have immeasurable and inconceivable merits and splendor. There will be no hells, evil spirits, beasts, etc.... All sentient beings, as well as the creatures in the Yama Realm and the three evil paths, will be taught by me as long as they come to my Buddha land..."

"When I become a Buddha, from the ground to the sky, the palaces, towers, ponds, flowers and trees, as well as all things in the country, will be composed of infinite precious fragrances..."

"If it were not so, I would not have attained enlightenment. When I attain Buddhahood, all the bodhisattvas in the ten directions, as long as they hear my name, will..."

"When I become a Buddha, all the Bodhisattvas in other worlds, as long as they hear my name and practice the Bodhisattva path, will have profound virtues and will be able to stick to the first, second, and third patience even in difficult times..."

"..."

Just when countless creatures in the prehistoric world were puzzled by the fact that Jieyin and Zhunti founded the religion but had not yet achieved enlightenment and become saints, the two of them made forty-eight grand vows in succession.

The sound of the oath was so loud that it illuminated the entire world!

It seemed that at this moment, heaven and earth also recognized the great aspirations of Jie Yin and Zhunti.

"Boom!"

Immediately afterwards, the auspicious clouds of merit in the sky gathered again, on a huge and boundless scale, and slowly flowed into the bodies of Jie Yin and Zhunti.

The two of them finally successfully entered the realm of saints!
Up to this point, in the prehistoric world, including Hongjun Daozu, a total of six saints of the Heavenly Dao have been born.

This seems to herald the arrival of the era of saints!
Afterwards, countless creatures in the prehistoric world waited for a long time, but no new saint was born, so they gradually gave up.

At the same time, in Ying Zheng’s cave in Kunlun Mountain.

Ying Zheng was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, with the aura of Tao surrounding him. A seedling appeared above his head, emitting a faint breath of nature.

However, this small sapling at this moment has undergone considerable changes compared to before.

Its branches have become thicker and have grown to about half a person's height. The branches extending from the main trunk are arranged in an orderly manner, forming a complex network.

Originally, there were only three green leaves on the branch, giving birth to the three realms.

But now it is covered with leaves. Upon careful counting, there are as many as a hundred of them!

Each leaf is wrapped in mist, as if evolving a whole new world, in which many origins and laws of order are vaguely visible.

It can be said that a hundred worlds are all contained in one tree!
The mystery of it is beyond words!
"Buzz!"

At a certain moment, Ying Zheng finally slowly opened his eyes.

Those were a pair of eyes as deep as stars, with infinite Tao rhyme flowing in them, as if evolving the mystery between this shore and the other shore.

"Hoo~!"

Ying Zheng let out a long breath, and an excited smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Hahaha, that's great, a hundred worlds!"

“I wonder if I can add the Heavenly Power of these one hundred worlds, to what terrifying degree will my combat power be raised?”

"Speaking of which, this is all thanks to Master Uncle's success in achieving the status of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian!"

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng's heart was already filled with joy.

It turned out that when Laozi attained enlightenment and became a saint, great merits were bestowed upon him by heaven, and one-tenth of them actually fell on Ying Zheng.

This is because he had once given Laozi guidance, and he also held the Kongtong Seal, the most precious treasure of the human race, so he also gained some merit. (End of this chapter)
