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

Chapter 68 Four Teachings in One Day, All Eight Saints Accomplished

Thirty-three heavens away, in the Nuwa Heaven, Nuwa opened her mouth, then fell silent. Who could have imagined that her strength would rise from first to second in such a short time, and now it had risen from second to third?

Not to mention, this is only Laozi; Yuanshi and Tongtian haven't even attained enlightenment yet. If the two of them, like Laozi, were to comprehend the secret to sainthood, wouldn't they also surpass themselves?

The great god Pangu created the world, and of the merits bestowed by the Great Dao, 30% belonged to Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian respectively.

With their merits in establishing a religion, plus their merits in creating the world, they are definitely going to surpass me.

Hongyun had a smile on his face and was in a good mood. Although Laozi had become a saint, he had his own guidance.

Therefore, a small portion of the merit Laozi gained from establishing his teachings fell on Hongyun. It wasn't much, but it was all for free.

Hongyun couldn't help but look at Yuanshi and Tongtian again. Now that you two have taken the lead, it's time for you two to take the stage, right?

Sure enough, at that moment, Yuanshi and Tongtian opened their eyes at the same time, their eyes revealing a look of sudden realization.

Clearly, they had all realized their own destiny to become saints.

Yuanshi took the first step and arrived in the air, while Tongtian slowed down slightly. He looked at the red clouds, and a complex look seemed to flash in his eyes.

And then they were in the air.

With a wave of his hand, Yuanshi summoned the Pangu Banner, which stood in the air, exuding a distant and profound aura.

"Heaven above, I am the Jade Pure Primordial Beginning, transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu. I hereby establish a great teaching, named the Chan Teaching, which shall follow the will of Heaven and enlighten all living beings."

"I am the leader of the Chan Sect. I use the Pangu Banner, a supreme innate treasure, to suppress the Chan Sect's destiny. The Chan Sect is established!!"

"BOOM!!"

As soon as the voice of the Primordial One fell, the lingering signs of sanctification intensified even further.

A tremendous amount of merit for establishing the religion also appeared above Yuanshi's head, and then the merit fell down.

At the same time, it triggered the creation merits hidden deep within the primordial spirit of the Primordial Beginning. The two combined and transformed into a huge golden wheel of merit behind the Primordial Beginning.

Yuanshi's strength, like that of Taiqing Laozi, surpassed Nuwa in a single leap, becoming the third sage.

Moreover, it wasn't just Yuanshi; Tongtian also unleashed the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the Zhuxian Formation Diagram at this time.

However, he paused for a moment, and then summoned the Qingping Sword as well.

Tongtian proclaimed to the heavens, "Heaven above, I am Tongtian of the Upper Pure Realm, transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu. I hereby establish a great sect called the Jie Sect. Jie means to seize a glimmer of hope. I am the leader of the Jie Sect, and I shall teach all living beings. All those who have the heart to seek the Dao may enter my sect and hear my Great Dao."

"With the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the Zhuxian Formation Diagram as my support, and in conjunction with the Qingping Sword, I will suppress the destiny of the Jie Sect. The Jie Sect is established!!"

As the resounding voice echoed through the heavens, another booming sound echoed in the sky, followed by a torrent of merit.

Tongtian also successfully established his religion.

On this single day, four major religions were born: the Human Religion, the Taoism, the Chan Religion, and the Jie Religion.

Originally, in the primordial world, there was only one religion: the Western Religion.

The Western Religion naturally accumulated a great deal of fortune, but at this time, with the successive establishment of the four religions, the fortune of the Western Religion inevitably dissipated.

After all, the Western Religion's most precious treasure was merely two twelfth-grade innate lotus platforms.

The effect of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure in suppressing fortune is far inferior to that of an innate supreme treasure.

On Mount Sumeru, both Jieyin and Zhunti looked quite unwell.

"Senior brother..." Zhunti looked at Jieyin and said.

Upon hearing this, Jieyin sighed, shook his head, and said, "I had expected this. Why say more?"

Zhunti said, "Although it was expected, Hongyun is, after all, one of the four leaders of our Western Sect. He wants to establish another major sect, yet he didn't consult us at all..."

The guide listened patiently, but became increasingly silent.

In this primordial world, strength is everything. Hongyun is powerful, so he can do whatever he wants, and what can they do about it?

On the Thirty-Three Heavens, Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Kun Peng gathered together, but their expressions were much more gloomy than those of Jie Yin and Zhun Ti.

Taiyi said, "Brother, now that all eight sages have attained enlightenment, what should we do?"

Di Jun shook his head, looked at Kunpeng, and said, "Demon Master, if I were to send you to establish a demon sect, would you be able to succeed?"

Upon hearing this, Kunpeng remained silent for a while, seemingly calculating something. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that won't work."

"Your Majesty, we have been too naive. Our demon race is the protagonist of this great calamity. If we establish a demon cult based on the demon race, although we may have great merit, it will damage the merit and fortune of the Heavenly Court."

As soon as Kunpeng said this, Dijun and Taiyi immediately understood the meaning: if a demon sect were to be established, the merit for establishing the sect would actually be deducted from the merit of the Heavenly Court.

The same applies to luck.

rob Peter to pay Paul……

Both Di Jun and Tai Yi shook their heads.

"It's a pity that Nuwa was unwilling to establish a religion, otherwise, even if it would harm the Heavenly Court itself, I would be willing to accept it." Di Jun sighed.

Kunpeng, on the other hand, felt a mixture of envy and sneer. Although his interests were now tied to those of Dijun and Taiyi, he was still secretly embracing them.

But he was also aware of the schemes in Di Jun's and Tai Yi's hearts.

But Nuwa was shrewd; instead of establishing a religion to prove her Dao, she played a different game altogether.

The Creation Clan has become saints.

What merit or ability do humans possess?

A profound look flashed in Kunpeng's eyes, revealing that he was starting to take notice of the human race.

Nuwa created this race and relied on it to become a saint. Now, Hongyun has established a religion based on this race, which is also a great merit.

This demonstrates the differences among human races.

This race was formed from the innate Daoist body, hence the name "human race." In the darkness, it seems that they have taken a portion of the fortune of "human" from the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

Moreover, they have now received the teachings of a sage and passed down martial arts, so this clan will likely have a bright future.

However, Kunpeng's thoughts were fleeting; he never imagined that the human race would become even more prosperous than the demon race in the future.

At this moment, as merits descended from the heavens, Tongtian also drew forth the merits of creation, which gathered behind him to form a massive golden wheel of merits that was in no way inferior to that of the Primordial Beginning.

He also became a saint.

With this, the eight sages established by Dao Ancestor Hongjun were all complete. With the emergence of all eight sages, the prehistoric world officially entered an era of sages.

Even the demon and witch races had to be cautious and on guard at all times in the face of the powerful strength of the saints.

Especially for the Wu tribe, the demon tribe at least has a goddess named Nuwa on the surface, who can be regarded as their saint.

However, the Wu Clan did not have a sage presiding over them. Nevertheless, among the sages, Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun had considerable dealings with the Wu Clan before they became sages.

If we're to be sure, this is a factor that we have to take into account.

Furthermore, both races possess powerful formations, the most formidable of which are rumored to rival even the might of a saint.

However, this is enough to allow both races to maintain a strong deterrent force.

However, at this time, the sages were too lazy to pay attention to them. Hongyun, Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian had all established great sects and were now busy recruiting disciples.

After all, even if a great sect is established, it still needs disciples; otherwise, how can it be considered a great sect? And how can it pass on its lineage and compete for destiny?

Hongyun established the Human Sect. If we follow the original system, the eldest disciple of the Human Sect would have to be Grand Master Xuandu.
