Chapter 47: Zhen Yuanzi Becomes a Saint
Outside the South Heavenly Gate, the Wu and Yao tribes clashed with a grand formation. The Wu tribe's Pangu phantom faced off against the Yao tribe's demon god phantom. The great battle between the two tribes shocked even the Heavenly Dao Saints. In particular, the fact that the Yao tribe, in just tens of thousands of years, was able to produce a grand formation that could rival the Wu tribe's Pangu phantom quickly aroused the fear of all the Heavenly Saints.
The great war between the two races also attracted Hongjun, and with Hongjun's intervention, the two races temporarily ceased their fighting.
Upon returning to Zixiao Palace, Hongjun finally realized something was amiss: why hadn't Xuan Chu appeared? Logically, since he had already intervened, how could Xuan Chu remain seated? Wasn't he afraid that he would take the opportunity to severely damage the Wu Clan?
"What exactly is Xuan Chu doing? The Wu Clan is one of his most important bargaining chips in his fight against the Heavenly Dao. He can't possibly be ignoring it." Hong Jun frowned. Xuan Chu's strange behavior made him uneasy, but Xuan Chu's realm was above his, and with the Pangu Palace shielding the secrets of heaven, Hong Jun couldn't find out Xuan Chu's movements at all.
"We must make Zhen Yuanzi a saint as soon as possible. Once Zhen Yuanzi becomes a saint and the Six Saints return to their positions, I can merge with the Dao. At that time, no matter what schemes or tricks Xuan Chu may have, I can defeat them with one blow." Although not being able to find Xuan Chu's whereabouts made Hongjun somewhat uneasy, the most urgent task was to make Zhen Yuanzi a saint as soon as possible. Once he merged with the Dao, Xuan Chu would be no longer a threat.
Longevity Hill, Wuzhuang Temple
Since obtaining the Primordial Purple Qi, Zhen Yuanzi had been in seclusion to comprehend it. Three thousand years later, Zhen Yuanzi finally emerged from seclusion.
"Greetings, Master! Congratulations on your successful completion of seclusion and your great advancement in cultivation!" Qingfeng and Mingyue, the two attendants of Zhen Yuanzi, came to greet him.
"No need for formalities!" Zhen Yuanzi waved his hand and said, "Today, I will attain sainthood. You should observe carefully; it will greatly benefit you!"
"Master is about to become a saint? Congratulations, Master!" Upon hearing that Zhen Yuanzi was about to become a saint, Qingfeng and Mingyue were extremely excited. As the saying goes, when one attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. As Zhen Yuanzi's attendants, their status would inevitably rise as soon as Zhen Yuanzi became a saint.
Ignoring Qingfeng and Mingyue, Zhen Yuanzi soared into the air, hovering above, and proclaimed to the entire prehistoric world: "By the Heavenly Dao, I, Zhen Yuanzi, hereby establish the Earth Immortal Palace, to manage the gods of the prehistoric mountains and rivers, and to control the primordial ley lines. All beings who have contributed to the prehistoric world may enter the Earth Immortal Palace, be granted divine titles, and manage the prehistoric mountains and rivers. I will use the supreme innate spiritual treasure, the Earth Book, to suppress the fortune of the Earth Immortal Palace. With the Earth Immortal Palace established, I am its master!"
Driven by the Heavenly Dao, Zhen Yuanzi's voice quickly spread throughout the entire prehistoric world. All the saints and countless great supernatural beings came out of their caves and turned their gazes toward the direction of Longevity Mountain. Zhen Yuanzi was first taken in as a disciple by Hongjun, and now he has established an Earth Immortal Palace. Is he about to become a saint?
"Boom!" A thunderclap resounded from the heavens, and then a massive golden pillar of merit descended from the sky, enveloping Zhen Yuanzi. Its merit was even greater than that of Jieyin and Zhunti in establishing the Western Sect.
Zhen Yuanzi continuously absorbed merit, and the Primordial Purple Qi within his primordial spirit surged wildly, its power constantly rising until his primordial spirit completely merged with the Primordial Purple Qi. At this moment, the Heavenly Dao Wheel appeared and accepted Zhen Yuanzi's primordial spirit. The instant the primordial spirit entrusted itself to the Heavenly Dao, a powerful energy burst forth from Zhen Yuanzi's body. Immediately afterwards, purple Qi traveled ninety thousand miles eastward, celestial music filled the air, exotic fragrances wafted, heavenly flowers fell, and golden lotuses sprang from the earth. Zhen Yuanzi officially became a saint.
"My name is Zhen Yuanzi. Today I have attained sainthood and am now known as Zhen Yuan Zhen De Tian Zun. All living beings in the primordial world should congratulate me!" Zhen Yuanzi opened his eyes and proclaimed to the entire primordial world.
"Greetings to Zhenyuan Zhende Tianzun! Congratulations to Zhenyuan Zhende Tianzun on attaining sainthood! May you walk with the Dao, be immortal and indestructible, and be indestructible through countless eons! May Zhenyuan Zhende Tianzun live a long and prosperous life!" All beings in the primordial world paid homage to Zhenyuanzi.
"I, Zhen Yuanzi, will follow the will of Heaven. A thousand years from now, I will not be able to leave the prehistoric world with the Wuzhuang Temple on Wanshou Mountain. All beings in the prehistoric world are welcome to come and listen to my teachings!" After becoming a saint, preaching in the prehistoric world has become a routine task for all the saints of the heavens, and Zhen Yuanzi is no exception.
"The Heavenly Venerable Zhenyuan Zhende is merciful!" Zhenyuanzi's preaching in the prehistoric world excited the prehistoric cultivators who had missed the preaching of Nuwa and the Four Sages. They had once thought that since the Four Sages in one day, there would probably never be a sage preaching in the prehistoric world again. They never expected that Zhenyuanzi would give them such a pleasant surprise.
In the Zixiao Palace, seeing Zhen Yuanzi finally become a saint, Hongjun breathed a sigh of relief. The six saints had finally returned to their positions, and he could finally merge with the Dao.
"The Six Sages have finally returned to their positions, and Hongjun is about to merge with the Dao. Uncle, when will you return? If you don't come back soon, Tongtian may not be able to hold on." On Jin'ao Island in the East Sea, upon learning that Zhen Yuanzi had become a sage, Tongtian's first thought was of Hongjun merging with the Dao. Although Hongjun was not about to merge with the Dao immediately, the return of the Six Sages meant that they didn't have much time left. Xuan Chu, however, had not yet returned, which made Tongtian very uncertain.
The Thirty-Third Heaven, the Lingxiao Palace
If we were to say who would be most affected by Zhen Yuanzi's ascension to sainthood, it would undoubtedly be the demon race. They know better than anyone where the Primordial Purple Qi that enabled Zhen Yuanzi to become a saint came from. Even before becoming a saint, Zhen Yuanzi dared to venture alone into the Southern Heavenly Gate for Hongyun. Now that he has become a saint, it's hard to guarantee that Zhen Yuanzi won't seek revenge against the demon race later. Although the demon race now possesses the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array, which can rival a saint, the Heavenly Dao Saint is immortal and indestructible. Going against the Heavenly Dao Saint is ultimately not a long-term solution.
"Brother, now that Zhen Yuanzi has become a saint, my younger brother will make things difficult for our demon race because of Hongyun's past," Taiyi said to Dijun.
"It's alright. My demon race has the Zhou Tian Star Array, and we have Goddess Nuwa behind us. I doubt Zhen Yuanzi would dare to act recklessly. Just be polite when you encounter people from the Earth Immortal Mansion in the future, and don't give Zhen Yuanzi any reason to target my demon race." Di Jun thought for a moment and said. So what if Zhen Yuanzi has become a saint? The demon race is not something to be slaughtered at will. With the Zhou Tian Star Array and Nuwa, Zhen Yuanzi wouldn't dare to go too far.
"I hope so!" Taiichi sighed.
Longevity Hill and Wuzhuang Temple
After achieving sainthood, Zhen Yuanzi went into seclusion to consolidate his realm. As for the matter of spreading his teachings throughout the prehistoric world a thousand years later, he entrusted it to Qingfeng and Mingyue to prepare.
"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, I have finally become a saint. Rest assured, one day, Dijun, Taiyi, and Kunpeng will pay the price they deserve." Zhen Yuanzi said with a firm look in his eyes. He had never forgotten to avenge Hongyun. However, the demon race was currently a pawn for Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao in their fight against the witch race. But pawns will eventually lose their usefulness. At that time, Zhen Yuanzi could personally avenge Hongyun.
A thousand years later, cultivators from all corners of the primordial world flocked to Longevity Mountain. A sage preaching was a rare and precious opportunity; if you missed this chance, who knew if there would ever be another?
Besides cultivators from all sides of the primordial world, the five Heavenly Dao Saints also brought their disciples to listen to the Dao. Firstly, as the saying goes, "the stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade," and listening to Zhen Yuanzi's Dao might bring unexpected gains. Secondly, Zhen Yuanzi is now Hongjun's disciple, and since they are all fellow disciples, it is only right for him to come and support them.
Inside the Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi placed five futons beside his own, which were prepared for the five Heavenly Dao Saints. Below him were three thousand more futons, which were prepared for the cultivators who came to listen to the Dao.
After everyone had arrived, Zhen Yuanzi began his formal sermon. Zhen Yuanzi preached for a total of three thousand years. After three thousand years, Zhen Yuanzi ended his sermon. At this time, the Six Sages of the Heavenly Dao simultaneously received a message from Hongjun, asking them to go to Zixiao Palace, as there was something important to tell them.
