Primordial Era: I, the Thirteenth Witch, had my innermost thoughts overheard by my older siblings.

Upon hearing Laozi's question, everyone's hearts tightened, and they couldn't help but look at Hongjun.

Ye Kai's expression also hardened slightly, and a glint of light flickered in his eyes.

[Lao Tzu asked the Way, is the Quasi-Saint realm about to emerge?]

"Quasi-Saint? What's a Quasi-Saint?"

"I heard from my thirteenth brother that a Great Luo Golden Immortal is a saint, right? How come there's also a quasi-saint?"

"..."

Upon hearing Ye Kai's thoughts, Di Jiang and the others were taken aback and asked with some confusion.

Although Hongjun has now attained sainthood, they still do not know what realms exist above the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Even Laozi and the others probably don't know about the existence of Quasi-Saints at this moment.

And so Dijiang and the others thought,

On the high platform, a glint of light flashed in Hongjun's eyes. "What doubts do you have? Ask away."

He didn't seem surprised by Lao Tzu's question.

"The Daoist Ancestor's teachings were profound, but they only went up to the Great Luo Golden Immortal level. I wonder if there are any Daoist methods beyond the Great Luo Golden Immortal level?"

Upon hearing Hongjun's instructions, Laozi did not hesitate and voiced his doubts.

Upon hearing Laozi's question, everyone's attention tightened, and they all looked towards Hongjun.

Just as I expected!

Above the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm lies the Saint realm, but becoming a Saint is not easy, hence the terms Half-Step Saint or Quasi-Saint.

This quasi-saint level is basically equivalent to the strength of a late-stage Ancestral Witch.

Ye Kai focused his mind slightly and sent out a series of thoughts.

"Great Luo, Quasi-Saint, Saint, I never imagined there were so many realms above Great Luo Golden Immortal."

"They, the immortals, have their own realms to cultivate, and we, the Witch Clan, cannot slacken our efforts!"

"Excellent! According to my explanation, our Ancestral Witches can also advance further and are by no means inferior to them!"

"..."

Hearing Ye Kai's thoughts, Di Jiang and the others became even more focused and exchanged ideas in secret.

Their ancestral witches were formed from the essence and blood of the father god Pangu, but they never believed in the concept of destiny, nor did they think they were inferior to others!

Immortals like Hongjun have their own realms of attainment, and the Wu clan also has its own path of advancement!

"Above the Great Luo is the Sage. Only by becoming a Sage can one achieve immortality and invulnerability to countless calamities, and attain the supreme Dao."

At this moment, when Hongjun heard Laozi ask this question, he did not hide anything and answered directly.

Upon hearing Hongjun's reply, Laozi and the others all had a gleam in their eyes, filled with anticipation.

"May I ask the Ancestor, how can one become a saint?"

At that moment, Yuanshi couldn't help but ask Hongjun a question.

"There are three methods to achieve sainthood: one is to achieve sainthood through force, one is to achieve sainthood through the Three Corpses, and one is to achieve sainthood through merit. All three methods can lead to sainthood, but the results are different."

Upon hearing Yuanshi's question, Hongjun smiled slightly and then calmly replied.

"The three methods: upper, middle, and lower?"

"Achieving sainthood through merit is easy to understand, but what about achieving sainthood through the Three Corpses? And what about achieving sainthood through force?"

"Achieving sainthood through force is the superior method. What does it mean to achieve sainthood through force?"

"..."

Upon hearing Hongjun's answer, everyone was taken aback and began to discuss among themselves.

Hearing the crowd's discussion, Ye Kai smiled slightly:

[What three methods, upper, middle, and lower? It's just that Hongjun was blinded by the Heavenly Dao.]

After all, even if one achieves sainthood through merit, as long as the merit is sufficient, it is no less than achieving sainthood through force; the ability to achieve sainthood by severing the three corpses goes without saying.

[In that case, where does the distinction between upper, middle, and lower classes come from?]

……

As a person from a later era, he was very clear that at this time, Hongjun had been blinded by the Heavenly Dao because of his comprehension of it.

Therefore, some of the Taoist teachings he spoke of can be listened to, while others can only be used as a reference.

For example, the current methods of becoming a saint are actually not much different. Whether it is becoming a saint through force, through the Three Corpses, or through merit, there is really no difference.

All they need is power; as long as they have enough power, they can follow their laws and attain sainthood.

Therefore, there is no distinction between them in terms of superiority or inferiority.

As for what Hongjun considered superior or inferior, it was merely an illusion created by the misleading influence of the Heavenly Dao!

Even the Primordial Purple Qi was a pit left behind by the Heavenly Dao!

"Dao Ancestor, I wonder how these three methods should be performed specifically, and which method is the best?"

While Ye Kai was pondering this, Tongtian asked Hongjun.

"The so-called attainment of sainthood through strength is like the great god Pangu's path to sainthood. However, this method requires extremely high strength. Without sufficient power, even a god as powerful as Pangu ultimately met his end by exhaustion and death!"

Upon hearing Tongtian's question, Hongjun's expression hardened slightly, and he explained to everyone.

But as he said this, he deliberately cited the example of Pangu.

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed shock.

They were all terrified by Hongjun!

After all, the primordial world they inhabited was created by the great god Pangu.

Even a god as powerful as Pangu died from exhaustion, so it was naturally even less likely that they would succeed!

Having thought of this, they had already given up the idea of ​​becoming saints by force.

This method is good, but it is very difficult and not suitable for them.

but,

Upon hearing this, Ye Kai couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

[Pangu, the Father God, achieved sainthood through sheer power, only to die from exhaustion? I can only laugh!]

【How can you be so sure that Pangu created the world to attain sainthood? Are you trying to scare me with this? Do you really think I don't know?】

Before the primordial chaos emerged, the concept of sages didn't exist in the primordial world. Pangu and other chaotic demons should have been above sages, at least comparable. How could they attain sainthood and then die from exhaustion? What a joke!

……

Ye Kai does not believe that Pangu created the primordial world in order to prove his Dao and become a saint, and that he eventually died from exhaustion, transforming into all things.

After all, if he truly wanted to attain sainthood, he wouldn't have gone to create the primordial world; instead, he should have pursued the improvement of his own strength!

Therefore, they did not create the world and died from exhaustion!

Not to mention, Pangu killed all three thousand demon gods for this matter!

With such strength, why would he need to become a saint?

This is simply self-deception!

"You're right, little brother. What kind of saint is this? He dares to mess with the Father God?"

"Why does Your Majesty the Father need to attain sainthood through enlightenment?"

"I'd heard him say before that the Three Laws were some kind of nonsense, and now he's even trying to pin this on the Father God! It's utterly absurd!"

"..."

Dijiang and the others were both amused and exasperated.

Especially after hearing Ye Kai's thoughts, they sneered inwardly.

but,

However, they did not stand up to refute it.

After all, they don't have primordial spirits. Hongjun is deceiving himself and misleading the immortals. What does it have to do with them?

As long as Ye Kai isn't misled!

Noticing the pale faces of Dijiang and the others, Hongjun was not surprised. He immediately changed the subject, "Of course, the great god Pangu created the world and created all living beings, which is a great merit for our prehistoric world."

"Indeed, no matter what, the Great God Pangu has done great deeds for our primordial world."

I agree.

"However, this method is too difficult and not suitable for us."

"..."

Upon hearing Hongjun's words, Laozi and the others nodded slightly and sighed.

Hearing their sighs, Dijiang and the others' expressions softened somewhat.

However, Ye Kai smiled faintly and immediately bowed, asking, "May I ask, Dao Ancestor, what is meant by 'Three Corpses Becoming a Saint,' and what is meant by 'Becoming a Saint through Merit'? How do these two methods differ from becoming a saint through force?"
