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

Although Ye Kai didn't have high expectations for the Primordial Purple Qi, he was full of anticipation for the treasure distribution.

After all, in their previous lives, Hongjun distributed treasures, and the Three Pure Ones and other direct disciples all possessed innate supreme treasures.

Nuwa also received top-grade innate spiritual treasures such as the Red Embroidered Ball and the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

Even Jieyin and Zhunti each possess a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Now, like the Three Pure Ones, he is also a direct disciple.

You should have at least two top-grade innate spiritual treasures, right?

Could it be that he, like Tongtian, obtained a treasure comparable to a supreme innate treasure?!

If that's the case, then that would be even more awesome!

Just as Ye Kai was secretly looking forward to it, Hongjun's gaze swept over the crowd, and then he said calmly, "When I attained sainthood, I preached here three times by the will of Heaven to enlighten all living beings. Today, the third sermon has ended, and I can be considered to have achieved perfect merit."

"Thank you for spreading the Dao!"

"Thank you for teaching me!"

"..."

Upon hearing Hongjun's words, Ye Kai and the others immediately focused their attention and bowed to Hongjun in gratitude.

After they expressed their gratitude, Hongjun continued, "If you still have any doubts after today's sermon, please ask, and I will answer them for you."

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Dao Ancestor!"

"Thank you for your explanation, teacher!"

"..."

Upon hearing Hongjun's words, everyone expressed their gratitude once again.

Without hesitation, they immediately addressed their doubts.

only,

When faced with their questions this time, Hongjun did not provide the detailed explanation he had given before.

In particular, when asked about the path to sainthood, Hongjun simply replied, "It all depends on one's own destiny."

Ye Kai was not surprised by this.

[After all, there are only so many saints. If everyone's questions about becoming a saint could be answered, and everyone could become a saint, how many saints would there be in the primordial world?]

Hearing Ye Kai's thoughts, Di Jiang and the others couldn't help but nod slightly, all agreeing.

After all, Hongjun is only one saint, yet he is so powerful. If there are more saints, wouldn't the Wu Clan be even more suppressed?!

To know,

Among their witch clan, apart from Ye Kai, none of them possess a primordial spirit!

To become a saint, however, requires the method of the primordial spirit!

"Fortunately, I overheard my little brother's thoughts before and brought him here. Otherwise, our witch clan would really have been destined to have no one become a saint, just as I told him."

"Indeed, it's fortunate that I was able to overhear my younger brother's thoughts and thus foresee the future."

"As long as my younger brother can become a saint, that will be enough!"

"..."

They thought to themselves.

At this time,

[Actually, becoming a saint isn't all that great. Becoming a saint means being bound by the laws of Heaven. If that's the case, I'll be completely constrained in any future affairs of the Witch Clan.]

What I want to do is become a Primordial Golden Immortal, no less than a Saint, or even stronger!

Only in that way can I lend a helping hand when Heaven plots against my witch clan!

……

One after another, heartfelt messages came through.

Hearing Ye Kai's thoughts, Di Jiang and the others were even more shocked!

"What? Heaven is plotting against us?"

"I had heard before that the Heavenly Dao was plotting against Hongjun, but I never imagined it would even dare to scheme against our Witch Clan! How audacious!"

"You're right, little brother. What a load of rubbish about sainthood! Even becoming a saint is fraught with constraints. It's better not to succeed!"

"What exactly is the Heavenly Way? Hongjun just said he was preaching according to the will of the Heavenly Way, and now you're saying the Heavenly Way is scheming. How come I've never heard of that before?"

"Whatever it is, if I catch it, I'll burn it to ashes!"

"..."

As Dijiang and Zhurong spoke, their faces darkened and became grim.

Although they didn't know what the Heavenly Dao was, they knew very well that the Heavenly Dao was not a good thing!

As they whispered amongst themselves, Hongjun noticed the change in their expressions.

He then asked Ye Kai, "Ye Kai, do you have any doubts?"

Upon hearing Hongjun's question, not only Ye Kai, but also Di Jiang and the others couldn't help but tense up and immediately looked over.

"May I ask, teacher, how many sages are there? Who can become a sage? How can one become a sage?"

Upon hearing Hongjun's question, Ye Kai did not hesitate and immediately asked all three questions that the Three Pure Ones wanted to ask.

In the original narrative, these three questions were to be asked by the Three Pure Ones, which would then lead to a discussion of the Primordial Purple Qi and even the distribution of treasures.

But that would be too much trouble!

Since Hongjun asked him if he had any doubts, he simply asked all three questions at once.

Upon hearing Ye Kai's question, Hongjun was startled, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

After all, he had only told the Three Pure Ones about these three questions before, instructing them to ask them when appropriate.

To his surprise, Ye Kai asked the same question, and even asked three questions in one go.

"Is this kid just a coincidence? Or did he have some kind of premonition?"

Thinking of this, Hongjun couldn't help but have a thought flash through his mind, and he became even more interested in Ye Kai.

On the other side, the three of them were staring at each other in disbelief.

He actually used our words?

We've already said all the words, so what's next?

"Ahem, the Heavenly Way has its own destiny, and so do the number of sages. Since the end of the conflict between the Dao and the Demon, there should be nine sages in the Heavenly Way. To become a sage, one still needs the Primordial Purple Qi."

At that moment, Hongjun coughed lightly and answered seriously.

Regardless of whether Ye Kai or Sanqing asked the question, since they had asked it, he would just answer it accordingly.

Upon hearing Hongjun's reply, Laozi and the other two cleared their throats, "That old..."

only,

"Teacher, what is Primordial Purple Qi? How can we obtain it?"

Before the Three Pure Ones could ask, Ye Kai preemptively asked the question.

Upon hearing Ye Kai's question, the Three Pure Ones opened their mouths, momentarily at a loss for what to ask.

"The Primordial Purple Qi has existed since the beginning of the primordial world and is the key to becoming a saint. I once obtained nine strands of it. One was lost in the struggle between the Dao and the Demon, and I used one strand for myself. Now I still have seven strands of Primordial Purple Qi left."

Hongjun, the old man, said calmly.

"Teacher, I don't know about this..."

Upon hearing Hongjun's reply, Laozi became even more focused and immediately inquired.

But at that moment, Ye Kai spoke up again, asking, "Teacher, is the Primordial Purple Qi necessary for becoming a saint? Is it indispensable?"

This was one of his few remaining opportunities to inquire about the key to sainthood, and since he was going to ask, he couldn't miss it!

only,

Laozi sighed helplessly when he saw Ye Kai take the lead again.

A hint of anger also appeared in Yuan Shi's eyes.

However, he couldn't show it in front of others.

It is indeed a connection to heaven.

He was listening intently at that moment.

After all, it doesn't matter who asks.

Not to mention, Ye Kai asked even more detailed questions than they had imagined.

So he couldn't be bothered to ask anymore.

Not only Tongtian, but everyone else was listening intently at this moment.

Especially upon hearing that only seven strands of Primordial Purple Qi remained, they became even more focused, afraid of missing a single piece of information.

Upon hearing Ye Kai's question, Hongjun was taken aback. "This kid, isn't he asking too many questions?"

Previously, each person was asked one question.

But now,

Good guy!

Ye Kai asked more than a dozen questions all by himself!

Is he so desperate to become a saint?!
