I, the primordial ancestor, started out as a useless cult and a useless saint.

Chapter 85 Zhen Yuanzi Achieves Sainthood (Happy New Year, everyone!!)

The Tongtian Sect Leader was also puzzled. Who was this person? How could someone who had become a saint be able to fight to a draw with Taiqing Shangren and Yuanshi Tianzun?

"Zhen Yuanzi".

Suddenly, the Tongtian Sect Leader realized what was happening.

"So it was him? No wonder."

Zhen Yuanzi is known as the ancestor of earth immortals. As long as the primordial world remains intact, earth immortals will never die. Like the Styx River, he is one of the top-ranking innate spirits among the three thousand guests in Zixiao Palace.

It's a pity that despite his formidable strength, Demon Master Kunpeng ended up in the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court.

"That's right. Although the power of the earth is weaker than the power of the heaven, Zhen Yuanzi himself is very powerful. With the ability of the ancestor of earth immortals, once he becomes a saint, even the Taiqing Saint and the Yuanshi Tianzun might not be his match."

Although the Tongtian Sect Leader was somewhat displeased by these words, it was the truth. It wasn't that the Pangu lineage was inadequate, but rather that the methods of enlightenment passed down by Hongjun after the Three Pure Ones entered the Xuanmen lineage were incomplete.

Perhaps at the beginning, they couldn't feel it, or perhaps even the current saints of the heavens couldn't feel it. However, the Tongtian Sect Master was different. Last time, when his primordial spirit was completely burned away, the Tongtian Sect Master suddenly realized and noticed it.

It's like a ditch filled with water; who can see what's underneath? After the Tongtian Sect Leader burned his primordial spirit, it was as if the water had been drained, and naturally, he could see it.

If the Xuanmen lineage is complete, then even if Zhen Yuanzi or Styx become saints, they can at most fight one against the Three Pure Ones; fighting two against one would be suicide.

"However, attaining sainthood requires a special opportunity. How could Zhen Yuanzi possibly claim to have attained sainthood so easily?"

The Tongtian Sect Leader was puzzled. Even Heavenly Dao Saints needed Primordial Purple Qi, let alone Earthly Dao Saints. However, Ye Yang chuckled and pointed in the direction of Buzhou Mountain.

"The Earthly Path is a continuation of the Wu Clan, and Pangu is the father god of the Wu Clan. At this moment, Pangu's will is awakened, and Zhen Yuanzi is proving himself to be a Saint of the Earthly Path. This is the perfect combination of the right time, the right place, and the right people."

The Tongtian Sect Leader gave a wry smile. The Ancestor of Humanity had foreseen everything.

"Hehe, I see."

At this moment, the great war between the demons and witches at Buzhou Mountain had reached a point of chaos and destruction. The creatures around Buzhou Mountain were either dead or had fled. It could be said that apart from the demons and witches, all that remained was Hongjun suppressing the will of Pangu.

Inside the Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi looked at the sky. At this moment, there was no sunlight at all, as the entire sky was shrouded by the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array of the demon race. The power of the stars was extremely violent, and every moment, stars would dim and lose their light, indicating that they had fallen, but new stars would light up again.

Blood rain fell continuously, and amidst this blood rain, a giant a million kilometers tall, with a star array above its head and its feet planted on the primordial earth, relentlessly attacked the countless stars in the sky.

Under a sky full of stars, two enormous stars that were rising slowly unleashed boundless power. Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi were fighting in their true forms, and their power continued to increase, their strength approaching that of a saint.

For a time, the fight was fierce and evenly matched.

However, Zhen Yuanzi was in trouble. The battles with the liches were exhilarating, but the humans he was protecting were unable to move an inch under this boundless pressure.

Suddenly, a huge rock, about tens of kilometers in diameter, drifted in from the sky. It was dust raised during the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, and it headed straight for Wuzhuang Temple.

Suddenly, a whisk swept across, and the massive boulder, tens of kilometers in diameter, shattered instantly, scattering its fragments around it. Zhen Yuanzi sighed in amazement.

"Alas, when will the Lich Wars ever end? I wonder how much longer my protected human race can hold out."

Looking around Wuzhuang Temple, one sees countless potholes and piles of pebbles of all sizes, some hundreds of meters in diameter, others tens or even hundreds of kilometers in diameter.

These were all fragments of rocks and dust that flew everywhere from Mount Buzhou during the battle between the Wu and Yao races.

However, at that very moment, Zhen Yuanzi suddenly heard the voice of the Tongtian Sect Leader.

"The Ancestor of Humanity has decreed that if we do not attain sainthood through the Dao now, when will we ever get the chance?"

Rumble.

In an instant, Zhen Yuanzi suddenly looked up in a certain direction, and under his guidance, he calculated with his fingers and instantly understood.

"The time has come; today is the day for me, Zhen Yuanzi, to attain sainthood and become a saint."

He then bowed in a certain direction, and all that could be seen was that Zhen Yuanzi's entire body was shimmering with endless light, instantly illuminating the entire celestial sphere.

"Huh? What's going on?"

"Where did that bright light come from? Has the Zhou Tian Star Array shattered?"

Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, who were fighting, were suddenly stunned. They turned around and saw a strong light coming from the direction of Wuzhuang Temple.

"Zhen Yuanzi, how dare you—"

Without knowing what Zhen Yuanzi was up to, he was immediately labeled as someone who wanted to help the Wu tribe. How could Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi let Zhen Yuanzi succeed?

With a roar, the Heavenly Court demons also looked over and saw Zhen Yuanzi holding the Earth Book, his whole body flashing with endless light, ascending to the heavens with each step, lotus flowers blooming under his feet, and the Xuanhuang Nine Thousand Miles above his head.

Hongjun on Mount Buzhou also realized what was happening, and upon looking over, he was immediately horrified:

"Zhen Yuanzi, how dare you—"

All the saints in the heavens were greatly surprised when they saw it.

"What is Zhen Yuanzi trying to do?"

"Damn it, he's walking on lotus blossoms, surrounded by golden light, with a nine-thousand-mile-long expanse of Xuanhuang above his head. This is bad, he's about to attain enlightenment."

The Sage of Taiqing and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable were greatly surprised.

"This is outrageous! At this time, Zhen Yuanzi actually wants to prove his Dao. Judging from his posture, he must be a true Dao Saint."

"What? A true sage?"

The saints who were fighting suddenly looked at the Styx River. This was the Earthly Saint, who directly supported the two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, after attaining enlightenment.

"No, we absolutely cannot let Zhen Yuanzi succeed in attaining enlightenment."

One Earthly Saint was already enough of a headache for them, but now another one was coming. The Supreme Saint shouted loudly:

"Yuanshi, I'll hold off Tongtian, you go and slaughter Zhenyuanzi."

"Yes, elder brother."

All that could be seen was Yuanshi Tianzun flashing towards Zhenyuanzi's Wuzhuang Temple.

"Hmph, trying to run away? You're really not taking me, the Tongtian Sect Leader, seriously."

At the critical moment, the Tongtian Sect Leader disregarded everything, and the wisp of his newly formed primordial spirit immediately ignited, while at the same time, the terrifying fortune of the Jie Sect suddenly erupted.

Swish swish swish——.

"The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation—"

In an instant, four beams of light enveloped the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

"This is outrageous! It's beyond belief!"

Yuanshi Tianzun was greatly alarmed, realizing that he alone could not possibly handle the Zhuxian Sword Formation. Perhaps Tongtian Jiaozhu had not reached his peak state, but with his primordial spirit and fortune burned, the Zhuxian Sword Formation could not be broken by Yuanshi Tianzun alone.

Upon seeing this, the Supreme Sage was also filled with rage.

"Tongtian, you bastard, don't forget you are a Heavenly Saint."

"Bah, a Heavenly Dao Saint? If I am a Heavenly Dao Saint, then what's with these Heavenly Dao scars on my body?"

The Grand Master of Heaven retorted decisively:

"I consider myself a sage of the Heavenly Dao, but has the Heavenly Dao regarded me as a sage of the Heavenly Dao?"

"Tongtian, how dare you question the heavens!"

The Supreme Sage roared:

"Without the favor of Heaven, how could we become saints? Without the favor of Heaven, how could we possess endless life? Tongtian, you have disappointed me greatly."

"Hahaha."

The Master of Heaven laughed loudly:

"Well said. In that case, you might as well be a good Heavenly Saint. Hahaha, let's fight!"

The Master of Heaven didn't want to explain anymore. The more he explained, the greater the conflict would become, and he couldn't afford to waste a single moment of his time.

Then he suddenly roared loudly:

"Zhen Yuanzi, what are you doing if you don't prove your Dao? This Saint can't hold out for much longer."

These words shook the heavens, and all the saints and powerful beings of the primordial world looked over.

All that could be seen was Zhen Yuanzi holding the Earth Book, slowly ascending into the air, each step creating a lotus flower.

"Today, inspired by the earth's essence, I, Zhen Yuanzi, have attained sainthood as the ancestor of earth immortals."
