Primordial Era: Taking the blame to become a saint, proving one's path through eccentricity!

Chapter 384 [The Dust Settles, Yin and Yang Remain]

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace.

Watching Xuan Yin and Yuanshi Tianzun accuse each other and throw mud at each other, the Great Luo Golden Immortals and powerful beings from various time and space looked at each other in disbelief, feeling that their filter of sainthood had been shattered.

Is this really a saint?

Are you sure you're not being possessed by inner demons and experiencing some strange hallucination?

Several Great Luo Immortals couldn't help but glance at the two Western Saints, thinking to themselves, "Everyone says those two have no shame, a disgrace to all saints. But to me, the Primordial Saint and the Xuan Yin Saint seem to be even worse than those two Western Saints."

At least in their eyes at this moment, the two Western Saints, with their solemn and dignified appearances, seemed more like saints than Xuan Yin and Yuan Shi Tian Zun.

Of course, they only dared to think these words in their hearts. If they were to say them out loud—who knows when a bolt of lightning might strike!

after all----

These two don't seem like the kind of people who are broad-minded and magnanimous!

"alright!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun frowned slightly: "I have no interest in your Dao disputes. If you really want to vent your anger, go fight in the Chaos. Don't disturb the tranquility of my Zixiao Palace here!"

In the past, apart from Jieyin and Zhunti, the saints all had a very saintly demeanor.

But at some point, other sages also began to follow the example of Jieyin and Zhunti by not eating noodles. Who exactly led the way in corrupting the customs of the prehistoric world?

The once arrogant Yuanshi Tianzun began to smear people, and the once upright Tongtian Jiaozhu also began to learn to be cunning!

Nuwa also became incredibly cunning, actually using the essence of Jieyin and the evil corpse of Zhunti to create a child for the two of them!

Even Houtu has learned to be cunning. Isn't her purpose in coming to Zixiao Palace this time to use her authority to restrain the other saints?

As for Xuan Yin —

That is even more so than the original, seemingly surpassing the Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti, and lowering the bottom line of the saints in the Primordial True Realm!

Only Taiqing Laozi is still barely maintaining the dignity of a sage, but judging from the current situation, it seems that he can't maintain it for much longer!

This is a good thing!

That's a bad thing too!

Sages are also human beings. The fact that they are no longer aloof and superior means that the human side has prevailed, and the risk of being transformed by the Tao has become almost non-existent.

However, when human nature prevails, desires are amplified, which can taint their Dao heart with dust and even affect the purity of the Primordial Heavenly Dao!

When Dao Ancestor Hongjun spoke, both Xuan Yin and Yuanshi Tianzun fell silent.

They couldn't afford to disrespect the Dao Ancestor!

Dao Ancestor Hongjun continued, "If there's nothing wrong, then don't bother this old Daoist at Zixiao Palace! If you have any grievances or resentments in your heart, then go and spar in the Chaos, don't wreak havoc on the Primordial Realm! This old Daoist doesn't want to clean up your messes!"

"yes!"

The saints nodded in agreement.

Then, Dao Ancestor Hongjun looked at Xuan Yin: "Since you have inherited Luo Yingguo, you must restrain the demons in the Demon Realm. Before the appointed time arrives, the demonic forces must not set foot in the Primordial World!"

The primordial world is already chaotic enough. If the demon race were to join in and cause further trouble, who knows how chaotic the primordial world would become!

Even among sages, differing philosophies are acceptable for conflict, but it must be fought without breaking apart!

Cause and effect must be settled, and the debate over the great principles must be resolved to determine who is superior, but they cannot be brought together!

Otherwise, even with his current cultivation level, he would find it difficult to unravel the cause and effect!

"yes!"

Xuan Yin quickly responded.

Although he inherited most of Luo's karma, he has not yet taken over Luo's Dao Fruit and is temporarily unable to control the entire demonic force.

For the sake of stability in the Primordial World and the development of the Demonic Path, maintaining the current situation is the most beneficial arrangement for both the Primordial True Realm and ourselves.

With the Dao Ancestor Hongjun speaking, everything settled down. Even if Yuanshi Tianzun was somewhat dissatisfied, he would not jump out to challenge the Dao Ancestor's authority.

In the blink of an eye, the many Great Luo Immortals in Zixiao Palace dispersed, with Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun being the first to leave Zixiao Palace.

Clearly, they were worried that if they were a step too slow, Houtu would block their way!

"Ha ha!"

The guide, a smile on his face, walked towards Xuan Yin: "This humble monk knew long ago that you, young friend, were no ordinary person! But I never expected you to become one of us so quickly!"

"From now on, you should address me as 'fellow Daoist'!"

There are three realms in the primordial world: the Ant Realm, the Fellow Daoist Realm, and the Senior Realm. But in between, there is actually a Lesser Fellow Realm with unlimited potential.

At this moment, Xuan Yin has achieved the status of a Primordial Golden Immortal and a Sage of the Earthly Dao, undoubtedly giving him the qualifications to sit on equal footing with the Guide Daoist.

Furthermore, given that Xuan Yin's Dharma body is the World-Free King Buddha of Buddhism, and his Sambhogakaya Xuanzang King Bodhisattva has made a great vow to save the evil spirits and ghosts of the underworld, and has an ambiguous relationship with Buddhism, he naturally wants to show some goodwill.

Even if we can't get Xuan Yin to stand on the side of Buddhism, we must make him remain neutral and not get involved in the power struggle between Buddhism and Houtu!

One doesn't hit a smiling face, and since the Guide was so enthusiastic, Xuan Yin naturally responded with a smile, "I must thank the Sage Guide for his guidance!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xuan Yin followed the Tongtian Sect Leader back to Jin'ao Island.

Boundless purple aura appeared, and golden clouds filled the void. Unprecedented fortune transformed into azure spiritual rain, nourishing everything on Golden Turtle Island.

With the arrival of two sages, the Jie Sect has naturally experienced a qualitative change in its fortunes.

Moreover, these two sages belong to the Heavenly Dao and the Earthly Dao respectively. They are not like Jieyin and Zhunti, who owe the Heavenly Dao karmic debts. Therefore, the Heavenly and Earthly Daos will naturally give them face.

The showers of flowers from the sky and the sprung golden lotuses from the earth are merely the most basic of the strange phenomena; the golden clouds and purple mist filling the sky are simply to highlight the majesty of the sage.

"Greetings, teacher!"

"Greetings, Senior Brother!"

On Jin'ao Island, countless disciples of the Jie Sect gathered, all with a hint of joy on their faces.

The Jie Sect now has two sages who have joined it. Their rise and fall are intertwined with the sect's glory, so they are naturally honored.

As for Duobao, Wudang, Guiling, and the others, their expressions were somewhat complicated.

Although they had a premonition that Xuan Yin would pass them by, they never expected that Xuan Yin would become a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal so quickly!

You should know that when they were Golden Immortals, Xuan Yin was only a Celestial Immortal. Several hundred Yuanhui have passed, and Xuan Yin has actually surpassed them!

However, they were also very happy!

Xuan Yin's attainment of enlightenment, breaking the predetermined fate, also shows that the future is not immutable. Given time, they may very well be able to cultivate into Grand Luo Golden Immortals.

Especially the Holy Mother of Wudang, she and Xuan Yin are both people with affinity to the earth. Since Xuan Yin can achieve the Great Luo Golden Immortal of Hunyuan by using the earth, she naturally also has the opportunity to prove the Dao and become a saint!

Duobao, a man of unwavering resolve, looked at Xuan Yin's attainment of sainthood and thought to himself, "I, Duobao, have never been inferior to anyone in my life. Now that my junior brother has already attained enlightenment, I naturally cannot fall behind!"

Of all the people, only the Golden Spirit Mother knew about this in advance. She remained calm, but the envy in her beautiful eyes was still unavoidable!

After Xuan Yin became a saint, Taiqing Laozi realized that continuing to seal off the Demon Realm was pointless, so he took the opportunity to retrieve the Taiji Diagram.

Upon seeing this, the Holy Mother Jinling immediately returned to the Primordial Realm.

The Tongtian Sect Leader glanced at his disciples and announced with a smile, "From this day forward, Xuan Yin will be the Vice Sect Leader of our Jie Sect! I hope that one day, you will also bring honor to your master!"

"yes!"

The disciples quickly nodded in agreement.

In this era, Houtu first became a saint, then Xuanyin became a saint, and there are constant changes. In the future, there will surely be more great supernatural beings who will attain enlightenment!

If that's the case, then why can't they be the ones who prove the Dao?

This is what a man should do!

With two sages, the Jie Sect had more confidence in dealing with the Investiture of the Gods. However, both Tongtian Sect Leader and Xuan Yin knew that, given Yuanshi Tianzun's personality, he would never sit idly by and wait for death!

After exchanging pleasantries with his fellow disciples, Xuan Yin and Tongtian Jiaozhu discussed their next move against the Jie Sect in Biyou Palace.

The Tongtian Sect Leader laughed and said, "Instead of focusing on Yuanshi, we should find a way to strengthen ourselves! After all, one must be strong to forge iron!"

"If our Jie Sect were to produce several more saints, no matter how much Yuanshi Tianzun schemes, or even if all the other saints choose to side with him, we could still defeat him with our might!"

This is the character of the Tongtian Sect Leader.

He felt that instead of focusing on Yuanshi Tianzun all day, it would be better to find ways to increase his strength, since scheming is based on strength.

Xuan Yin agreed, but his view differed somewhat from that of the Tongtian Sect Leader: "I think it's better to keep an eye on him. One shouldn't have the heart to harm others, but one must be wary of them!"

"No one knows what schemes the Primordial Celestial Lord will devise after this setback, or what insane things he might do."

You should know that Yuanshi Tianzun is very fond of noodles. As a result, at the beginning of the creation of the world, his physical body was destroyed by himself and Tongtian Jiaozhu. After returning to the prehistoric world, he was ravaged by Houtu!

So much so that after arriving at Zixiao Palace, Yuanshi Tianzun stopped caring about the dough!

A saint is not scary, but a saint who has no scruples and no taboos would give even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun a headache!

Although Yuanshi Tianzun suffered a great loss this time, if he were to completely abandon the dough, Xuan Yin would be quite worried about the future situation!

after all----

Only those who don't want dough know the benefits of completely letting go of dough!

This time, although the decree of Dao Ancestor Hongjun has temporarily restrained the sage, will the sage be willing to be restrained by Dao Ancestor Hongjun forever?

That's why he arranged for Shen Gongbao to be his spy in the Chan Sect.

This time, in the Demon Realm, after inheriting more of Luo's authority, Xuan Yin also discovered the inner demon that Luo had planted in Xuan Du.

If the inner demons are not eliminated, everything that Xuandu sees, Luohou can also see simultaneously.

Xuan Yin was the same.

He gazed in the direction of Shouyang Mountain, muttering to himself, "Who would have thought that Xuandu, this usually unassuming senior disciple, would develop inner demons because of the Second Elder?"

Meanwhile, Yuanshi Tianzun, who had returned to Kunlun Mountain, used the power of the sages to restore the Jade Void Palace that had been destroyed by Houtu.

Under the power of the sage, everything began to be reshaped, and the Jade Void Palace stood up again, its magnificent presence displaying the majesty of the Chan Sect's orthodox tradition.

The destruction of Jade Void Palace was as if it had never happened.

But Yuanshi Tianzun knew that this scheme had ended in utter failure.

On the battlefield of the mortal realm, with the rebirth of Haotian, those reincarnated Great Luo were killed by Houtu, and the Jiuli Divine Dynasty had completely conquered the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty.

It's a foregone conclusion that Chi You will become the new leader of the human race!

As for Xuanyuan—

Since Chi You had no children, he will most likely take over the throne from Chi You when Chi You abdicates or when it is the turn of the Heavenly Emperor.

The position!

The plan of Yuanshi Tianzun to attain the second stage of enlightenment also failed due to Xuan Yin's attainment of enlightenment. Because the saint's body was destroyed once, he would not be able to attain the Great Dao of Body Treasure again in a short period of time!

But at this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun, whose scheme had failed, calmed down completely.

He considered joining forces with the two Western Saints to launch a counterattack, but the two Western Saints had an ambiguous relationship with Xuan Yin, and the Jie Sect now had two Saints. Even if they were to take action, the two Saints probably wouldn't go all out.

"The two Western Saints are unreliable!"

Thinking of this, he looked towards Shouyang Mountain again: "My elder brother likes to go with the flow. If the Chan Sect is completely defeated in the struggle against the Jie Sect, he might very well abandon the Chan Sect!"

"but----"

"I must say, he is currently the greatest asset to me and the Chan Sect!"

Both the Jie Sect and the Western Sect have two sages, while the Chan Sect and the Human Sect are already outdated. He doesn't believe it, and Laozi of Taiqing doesn't care at all.

At this point, they need new support to possibly suppress the Jie Sect again and create an opportunity for him to attain the second Hunyuan Daluo realm.

"Jieyin and Zhunti are lucky if they can even keep Houtu in check! As for the eldest brother, he probably won't be able to suppress Nuwa before he obtains the three certificates!"

"I alone am no match for Tongtian and Xuanyin combined!"

"Without bringing in new support, I have absolutely no chance of obtaining the second Hunyuan Daluo certificate!"

After reflecting on his current situation and reconstructing the Dao of the Sage, Yuanshi Tianzun returned to Shouyang Mountain once again.

The rebirth of the Dao has only stabilized the foundation; it will take time for it to fully recover.

Upon meeting Taiqing Laozi, he did not hesitate and went straight to the point: "Elder brother, our lineage also needs a second sage!"

Upon hearing this, Taiqing Laozi shook his head: "Becoming a saint? It's not that easy."

Although there is still a holy position in the Heavenly Way, it is a hope left for all living beings. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for anyone to become a saint through this.

And since the Earthly Path is controlled by Houtu, how could they possibly give them the opportunity to become saints?

Fuxi's new human way is still evolving. Without the help of the power of the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man, the beings of the Primordial True Realm cannot prove those chaotic great paths, unless they emulate Tongtian and prove the acquired great path.

However, it is not an easy task to elevate the acquired Dao to the Chaotic Dao!

At least----

In Taiqing Laozi's view, apart from those few sages, no living being in the current primordial world has the ability to sublimate the acquired Great Dao!

"For beings in the primordial world, the possibility of attaining enlightenment is extremely slim, but for chaotic demons and gods, becoming a Grand Luo Golden Immortal is much easier!"

"after all----"

"They were originally masters of their own path, essentially comparable to Grand Luo Golden Immortals of the Primordial Chaos Realm. Their attainment of the Chaos Dao was merely a way to reclaim their own Dao fruits!"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable spoke slowly, his expression icy: "Since Tongtian and the others have previously guided the Chaos Demon Gods back, why can't we follow suit and bring them under our control?"

"You're insane!"

Taiqing Laozi was greatly alarmed: "The Chaos Demon God stands on the opposite side of the Primordial World! Tongtian and the others brought back the Golden Demon God only to seize its origin and use it to repair the Primordial World's Great Five Elements Cycle! Aren't you afraid that the returned Chaos Demon God will be beyond your control and want to destroy the Primordial World?"

Although he had considered bringing back the Chaos God, that was to use the Chaos God's essence to restore his own essence.

"Don't worry, elder brother, I know what I'm doing!"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable slowly spoke: "Ordinary Chaos Gods are naturally not suitable, but what about Chaos Gods whose hearts are set on the Primordial World?"

You should know that the teacher's predecessor was actually a chaotic demon god!

"If I remember correctly, in the war between the Dao and the Demon, besides Yang Mei the Great Immortal and my teacher, there were also two innate deities who were reincarnations of the Chaos Demon Gods who broke the Rahu Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation!"

Upon hearing this, Taiqing Laozi was taken aback: "You mean the Yin-Yang Ancestor and the Qiankun Ancestor?"

"That's right!"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable nodded: "Those two, like our teacher, chose to reincarnate as chaotic demons in the Primordial Realm!"

"Moreover, after reincarnation, he has already reached the peak of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm!"

"With our full support and their existing resources, helping them both attain the Great Luo Realm of Primordial Chaos will not be difficult at all!"
