I am Jiang Ming, the Eternal Demon Emperor

Chapter 890 The Thoughts of the Sage of Zixiao Palace

The Daoist Zhunti perished just like that.

Since the creation of the world, apart from the Demon Ancestor Rahu, no saint has ever fallen.

The Demon Ancestor Rahu perished because of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

This is also why sages fear the Dao Ancestor, because the Dao Ancestor has the ability to kill sages; it's that simple and clear.

Apart from the Dao Ancestor, even among sages, they cannot kill each other. At most, they can only injure each other, allowing one side to recuperate for a period of time.

But now, the sky has fallen.

Although Zhunti Daoren was said to be the weakest of the saints, it is true that he perished.

At this moment, even Dao Ancestor Hongjun had nothing to say.

When a person dies, their debts are wiped out.

He had already sensed it; the heavenly merits owed by Zhunti had now all vanished. This proved that the sage had truly perished. There was no doubt about it.

The current state of the primordial world is a bit confusing. A sage of the Primordial Dao just appeared, and he's even walking the path of an emperor. His attendant, now the Jade Emperor, has already come to complain.

However, even Hongjun Daozu had no way to achieve this breakthrough. The person who broke through relied on absolute strength, using the method of a Chaos Demon God to break through to the Great Dao Saint, breaking through the Dao with force, and relying on his achievements in the Great Dao of the Emperor, he fully comprehended the entire Great Dao of the Primordial Origin, thus becoming a Great Dao Saint.

If placed in the time of Pangu, he would be a chaotic demon god.

"Calm down. Life and death are all predetermined. Zhunti's death was also in response to this great calamity. As you all know, when a great calamity descends, what happens is unpredictable."

Hongjun Daozu saw that, in a short period of time, not only the Guide Daoist had appeared.

Soon, Yuanshi Tianzun arrived as the second to arrive.

Then there is Laozi, who preferred tranquility and non-action.

Finally, there was Nuwa, the Holy Mother, who arrived late, specifically to watch the drama unfold. She knew very well that the unfortunate Zhunti had been killed by one of her human descendants.

"Nuwa, what are you doing here? Your human race has produced a monster! He actually killed Zhunti."

The guide saw a woman dressed in white, her long black hair casually tied up with a jade hairpin. This jade hairpin bun was elegant and dignified, possessing a pure and flawless charm. It was one of the hairstyles invented by Jiang Ming. (Source: Kuaishou)

"So what if he's dead? If you're so capable, go and kill my junior, the Great Dao Saint of the Human Race, and avenge poor Zhunti."

Nuwa glanced at the guy indifferently and said casually.

In recent years, she has been watching short dramas on Kuaishou and has seen too many of these "green tea" men.

If you're so capable, go and take revenge. Don't just throw accusations at me like that, as if it were Nuwa who killed me.

However, speaking of which, Jiang Ming's breakthrough, the flourishing of humanity, and Nuwa's combat power have been rapidly increasing over the years.

If we say that Zhunti Daoist's cultivation level was the beginning of becoming a Saint of Merit, then Jieyin is the initial attainment of becoming a Saint of Merit.

The cultivation levels of the Three Pure Ones are as follows: Taiqing Laozi, Great Completion of the Heavenly Dao Saint; Yuanshi Tianzun, Minor Completion of the Heavenly Dao Saint; and Tongtian Jiaozhu, Perfection of the Heavenly Dao Saint.

Nuwa was originally a saint who had achieved great merit. She had indeed gained many saints, and was the first saint in the world to achieve such merit.

However, the goddess Nuwa has now naturally achieved the perfect state of merit and sainthood.

As humanity prospered, she quietly broke through to the Perfected Realm of Merit Saint. Jiang Ming's breakthrough allowed the foundation of humanity to surpass that of the Heavenly Dao, benefiting him as well and allowing him to directly break through to the Great Perfected Realm of Merit Saint. To break through to this realm further would mean reaching the realm of the Dao Ancestor.

However, neither Nuwa nor the Three Pure Ones are willing to follow the wrong path taken by Hongjun. The true path should be the one walked by Pangu. Pangu is the only being who, upon birth, surpassed the realm of a Great Dao Saint and was invincible in the Chaos; it wouldn't be wrong to call him the Ancestor of Chaos.

Hongjun was merely the Dao Ancestor of the Heavenly Dao; his original purpose was to obtain the Dao left behind by Pangu from the Heavenly Dao. This is because Pangu's body transformed into the Primordial World, and Pangu's Dao transformed into the Heavenly Dao.

This way.

Hongjun Daozu, this Great Dao Saint, wanted to take another step forward, so he had other ideas.

Back then, Demon Ancestor Rahu also had such thoughts. Unfortunately, he was defeated and killed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"Nuwa, are you trying to protect that demon who killed Zhunti? Saints have never fallen. We are all disciples of the Dao Ancestor. Now that Zhunti has fallen, does that mean that all of you here will one day fall as well?"

The Guide Daoist glared angrily at the Goddess Nuwa. His true intentions were revealed: he wasn't truly saddened by the death of the Zhunti Daoist. Perhaps he was, but not much.

What he truly feared was that he too would perish.

Moreover, the way he's speaking now is clearly intended to sow discord, so that the other saints can hear him. You don't want to die, do you?

If you don't want to die, then the Great Dao Saint who has appeared now is a variable. You should join forces to kill him.

This is the real reason why the Guide Daoist came here.

He even wanted Dao Ancestor to take action against Jiang Ming, after all, the emergence of a new Hongmeng Dao Saint had threatened the prestige of Hongjun Dao Ancestor, the number one person in the prehistoric world.

The Guide Daoist refused to believe that Hongjun Daozu could truly be as selfless and impartial as the Heavenly Dao.

It must be said that his calculations were excellent.

Among the five saints who rushed to the scene.

Nuwa remained calm and unperturbed, but she was somewhat worried about the attitudes of others.

Yuanshi Tianzun was the first to have murderous intent. If there was a chance to act and there was no chance of failure, he was willing to take action.

Taiqing Laozi remained silent, but based on the original plot of Investiture of the Gods, it's clear that he would definitely take action if given the chance.

Even Tongtian Jiaozhu, their junior brother who had gone through so much with them, was attacked by him in alliance with the two Western Saints and Yuanshi Tianzun.

As for the Tongtian Sect Leader, he had no intention of taking action. In his view, the prehistoric world had remained unchanged for a long time, and a change now might bring surprises.

He was unrestrained and loved freedom throughout his life. He believed in teaching without discrimination and had the most disciples. Anyone with talent and ability could join the Jie Sect, and he accepted all comers.

Besides, he also knew some of Jiang Ming's situation through Soul Seal. As a Daoist partner of the Three Immortals of Sanxiao, he could be considered half a member of the Jie Sect. He was a natural ally of Jiang Ming.

Now it all depends on what Master Hongjun thinks. His attitude is the most important thing.

"The great calamity is raging and is currently at its peak, expected to last for three days, which is equivalent to three years in the human realm. You should all continue to perform your duties and quietly await the outcome of the calamity. Do not rashly get involved, or you will perish, and that will be your own fate. You will have no one to blame but yourself."

Just then, the being who sat in the main seat of Zixiao Palace, with his eyes closed, spoke slowly.

The great calamity has begun, and variables have emerged. Even Dao Ancestor Hongjun needs to be cautious.

He made the current situation very clear; we'll observe the situation again in three years.

As for the passing of Daoist Zhunti, he didn't feel much about it.

He held this guy, who barely managed to break through to the level of a Saint of Merit by borrowing money from the Heavenly Dao, in high regard. Back then, the sixth Saint whom he, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, valued was actually a little fellow named Hongyun, but unfortunately, he lacked the fortune and perished.
