Primordial Era: If I remain in Longevity Mountain, I will steadily attain sainthood.

Chapter 38 Primordial Purple Qi, the Foundation for Sainthood

After these three supreme treasures were shattered, they formed all sorts of innate spiritual treasures in the primordial world.

However, it is clear that the Jade Tablet of Creation above Hongjun's head is not the complete Jade Tablet of Creation. Rather, it is the Jade Tablet of Creation formed by him collecting numerous innate spiritual treasures that were transformed from fragments of the Jade Tablet of Creation, and then returning these innate spiritual treasures to their original state and refining them.

Even so, Hongjun was unable to retrieve all the fragments, hence his Jade Tablet of Creation was incomplete.

Nevertheless, the reforged Jade Tablet of Creation is still a supreme treasure, even stronger than a primordial treasure.

It can be called a Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

The Jade Tablet of Creation is a very special treasure; it is neither good at attacking nor good at defending.

It was a supreme treasure used to aid in enlightenment, far surpassing the Enlightenment Tea Tree obtained by Hongyun.

This is because, from the very beginning, the Jade Tablet of Creation contained records of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

Although the Great Dao was incomplete after being shattered, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun collected most of the fragments and reforged them into the Creation Jade Tablet, which is still incredibly powerful.

At first glance, it seems as if countless great roads intertwine on it, constantly evolving and captivating people, making them unable to extricate themselves.

However, the voice of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun was like a morning bell and evening drum, bringing everyone back to their senses: "I only used this Jade Tablet of Creation to sever my corpse, you can see for yourselves."

As he spoke, he gently shook the Jade Tablet of Creation, and three figures appeared within it. Upon closer inspection, these three figures were all in the likeness of Hongjun Daozu.

These are the three incarnations of Hongjun Daozu: the good corpse, the evil corpse, and the wielding corpse. Everyone who saw them couldn't help but feel envious.

Hongjun Daozu said, "Sever the three corpses, then reunite the three corpses. This final step of reunite the three corpses is not actually reunite the three corpses, but reunite with the Dao. The three corpses reunite with the Dao."

"Only when the Dao of the True Self and the Three Corpses are completely unified can one achieve Hunyuan (Primordial Chaos)."

"However, the method of severing corpses with spiritual treasures that I taught has a flaw."

Upon hearing Hongjun's words, everyone's expression changed, especially those powerful beings who had already severed their corpses.

At this moment, even the Three Pure Ones, Emperor Jun, Taiyi, and others were somewhat unsettled.

Hongjun Daozu, do you want to listen to what you're saying?

However, Hongjun Daozu was not in a hurry and continued, "This defect is not a big one, so you don't need to worry."

The Dao Ancestor said, "First, use the spiritual treasure to sever the three corpses. Even if you become a Hunyuan in the future, this spiritual treasure, which is entrusted with your obsession, must not be destroyed. Otherwise, even if you are not knocked down in your cultivation level, your vital energy will be greatly damaged."

"And another point is that, in order to sever the three corpses with a spiritual treasure, one must integrate the Dao contained within the spiritual treasure into one's own Dao in order to successfully merge the three corpses. This is also the most difficult aspect of the method of severing the three corpses."

Hearing this, everyone felt a little relieved. These two defects didn't seem to be such a big deal, did they?

If it can't be destroyed, then let's not destroy it. As for the difficulty of merging the three corpses, we haven't even finished severing the three corpses yet, why think about it for so long?

Then Hongjun Daozu said, "However, the Lingbao Three Corpses Severing method has such a flaw, but the method proposed by Zhenyuan and Hongyun has made up for it."

"They changed their pursuit of the Dao from external things to internal things, and used the Three Flowers to sever the corpse. In this way, the two defects of the Lingbao Three Corpses Severing Method were also completely eliminated."

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze towards Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun immediately changed.

At this moment, a powerful being stood up and asked, "Dao Ancestor, is this Three Flowers Corpse Severing technique superior to the Spiritual Treasure Corpse Severing technique?"

"Does it have any drawbacks?"

Upon hearing this, the Dao Ancestor shook his head and said, "The Three Flowers Corpse Severing and the Spiritual Treasure Corpse Severing are simply two different things with their own strengths and weaknesses. There is no such thing as one being superior to the other. Whether one seeks the Dao externally or internally, as long as one can attain the Dao, what difference does it make?"

"The Three Flowers Corpse Severing also has its shortcomings. First, when it severs a corpse, it needs to separate the cultivation of the original body, unlike the Spirit Treasure Corpse Severing which directly borrows the power of the Spirit Treasure itself. Therefore, the Three Flowers Corpse Severing's incarnations are generally weaker than the Spirit Treasure Corpse Severing at the beginning."

"Secondly, the Three Flowers Corpse Severing has higher requirements for aptitude, comprehension, and so on, making it more difficult than the Spirit Treasure Corpse Severing."

"Generally speaking, the Spirit Treasure Corpse Severing method is easier to sever the three corpses in the early stages, while the Three Flowers Corpse Severing method is easier to merge the three corpses in the later stages. As for which to choose, you can explore that on your own."

Everyone finally realized what was going on.

Hongjun said no more and began to preach.

When everyone saw Hongjun begin to preach, they were all full of anticipation and eager to try.

However, soon, one by one, these powerful beings put on masks of suffering.

It turns out that the Dao of the Sage that Hongjun Daozu spoke of this time was exceptionally profound, difficult to understand, and extremely obscure.

The crowd only heard vague fragments, and those who grasped even two or three points were considered rare. Even Hongyun, with the aid of the futon beneath her, was only so-so.

All we can do is remember what the Taoist patriarch said and then slowly comprehend it after we return home.

Three thousand years passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, the time had come, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun stopped his sermon, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

These past three thousand years have been truly unbearable, but they're finally over.

After Hongjun Daozu finished speaking, he remained silent, sitting on the platform for a long while before finally flicking his sleeve.

Seven strands of purple energy flew out from his sleeve.

"This is the Primordial Purple Qi, the foundation for becoming a saint," said Dao Ancestor Hongjun, then swept away six of the six paths within it.

They fell into the tops of the heads of Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Nuwa, Zhenyuanzi, and Hongyun respectively.

They entered the sea of ​​consciousness and reached the primordial spirit.

As soon as the Primordial Purple Qi entered his primordial spirit, Hongyun immediately sensed the infinite mysteries contained within it.

It was as if this primordial purple aura contained all the great principles and mysteries of the world.

Before the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, only a wisp of primordial purple energy remained.

It was only at this moment that everyone realized what this was: Primordial Purple Qi, the foundation for becoming a saint?

Didn't they say that everyone who becomes a Primordial Being has the chance to become a Saint? How come there's now this Primordial Purple Qi?

So, someone couldn't help but ask.

Hongjun Daozu calmly explained: "After becoming a Hunyuan, if one comprehends the Heavenly Dao and gains its recognition, one can obtain the Primordial Purple Qi. The Primordial Purple Qi is the foundation for becoming a saint, and there is nothing wrong with using it to become a saint."

"There are nine streams of Primordial Purple Qi in the world, which represent nine saintly positions. The Three Pure Ones and others are destined to become saints, and therefore they are bestowed with Primordial Purple Qi."

The crowd finally understood something, but then they saw a wisp of primordial purple energy in front of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

At this moment, Jieyin and Zhunti knelt down and said to Hongjun, the Dao Ancestor, "We beg you, Master, to have mercy. We are also your disciples. Please bestow upon us the Primordial Purple Qi."

Hongjun Daozu nodded, then shook his head, and said, "Jieyin and Zhunti, you in the West certainly deserve a sainthood, but your opportunities are insufficient. Only one of you can obtain this Primordial Purple Qi and become a saint. Who wants it?"

Upon hearing this, Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged bewildered glances.
