Chapter 379 The Crystal of the Sage, Proving the Sage's Dao on the Spot?
After all, apart from Niu Ben and the Six Sages of the Heavens, all the other beings present were at the Quasi-Saint level.
For them, the thought was to go further and reach the realm of sainthood.
To advance to the level of a saint, one needs the Primordial Purple Qi, the foundation for sainthood.
For a moment, all the quasi-saints were excited and filled with anticipation.
Niu Ben remained calm upon seeing this; for him, rewards such as the Primordial Purple Qi were utterly unappealing.
After all, he already possessed a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi that he hadn't yet used.
Back then, Kunpeng led several demon gods of the demon race to attack Ancestor Hongyun, wanting to seize the Primordial Purple Qi on Hongyun's body.
However, during this period, many unexpected changes occurred.
First, Zhen Yuanzi arrived, followed by Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi.
After a fierce battle, the Red Cloud Ancestor was forced to choose self-destruction.
The primordial purple energy within his body also became ownerless.
Originally, the Styx Ancestor wanted to make a move to compete for it, but he was interrupted by the saintly incarnations of Tongtian and Zhunti.
Just when everyone thought that the primordial purple energy would fall into the hands of the sage, a giant tortoise tore through the sky and swallowed the primordial purple energy whole.
The incarnation of the Sage Zhunti angrily attacked, but was slapped to the ground by the giant tortoise.
In the eyes of many in the primordial world, the wisp of primordial purple energy on Hongyun's body was stolen by that mysterious giant tortoise.
Unexpectedly, after the giant tortoise seized the Primordial Purple Qi, it immediately gave it to Niu Ben.
Previously, Niu Ben had attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm in the underworld without using the Primordial Purple Qi.
This meant that the Primordial Purple Qi, which many Quasi-Saints dreamed of, was actually of little use to Niu Ben.
Seeing that all the Quasi-Saints were looking forward to it, Dao Ancestor Hongjun did not delay and casually waved his hand.
"Boom boom..."
Then, two dazzling lights suddenly appeared from his palm.
The light was profound and mysterious, radiating a sacred aura.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that two crystals were actually encased within the two orbs of light.
What surprised the creatures present even more was...
The shapes of the two crystals were not fixed; sometimes they were rhomboid, and sometimes they were round like a Dao fruit.
Inside the crystal, there seems to be an endless starry river, flowing runes of the Great Dao, and the unfolding and evolution of chaos.
"what?"
Many Quasi-Saints were shocked when they saw the two crystals that the Dao Ancestor took out.
Their ability to cultivate to the quasi-saint realm demonstrates their exceptional insight.
However, the two crystals that Dao Ancestor Hongjun took out were ones they had never seen before, or even heard of.
Besides the quasi-saints present, the Three Pure Ones and other saints were also surprised to see this.
I couldn't figure out what the crystal the Dao Ancestor had taken out was.
"Um?"
Niu Ben glanced at them, examined them briefly, and discovered that there was a faint, familiar aura emanating from the two crystals.
"This aura... seems to belong to those two extraterrestrial beings of the Chaos Realm."
After a moment's thought, Niu Ben remembered something.
At the same time, many quasi-saints kept muttering doubts:
"What is this?"
"The reward the Dao Ancestor mentioned, could it be these two crystals?"
"I... I thought the reward would be the Primordial Purple Qi!"
"Strange, these two crystals actually contain the aura of a sage."
"What's going on?"
"Dao Ancestor, what is this?"
"..."
Just as many Quasi-Saints hesitated and were puzzled, Dao Ancestor Hongjun smiled slightly and explained:
"Gentlemen, these two crystals are... the crystals of saints!"
Upon hearing this, all the creatures present looked puzzled.
"What?"
"The Crystal of a Saint?"
"What is this?"
"It must be extraordinary to be given as a reward by the Dao Ancestor."
"I've never heard of that before!"
"..."
Many quasi-saints were secretly surprised and doubtful, having never heard of any "saint's crystal" before.
Just then, Dao Ancestor Hongjun continued:
"This Saint's Crystal was condensed by the Heavenly Dao after I and the Heavenly Dao killed those two extraterrestrial Primordial beings."
"Upon refinement, one can instantly attain the status of a Primordial Saint."
Hongjun spoke these words in a very calm tone, but to all the living beings present, they resounded like thunder.
Amidst the stunned silence, a commotion erupted within the Purple Cloud Palace:
"Wh...what?"
"Did I hear that right?"
"These two Saintly Crystals are actually the remains formed after the fall of those two extraterrestrial Primordial Beings?"
"After refining it, one can instantly attain enlightenment?"
"My God!"
"This Saintly Crystal is even more powerful than the Primordial Purple Qi!"
"..."
Many quasi-saints exclaimed in surprise, their faces filled with disbelief.
Just now, they were still somewhat confused.
Only after Dao Ancestor Hongjun explained it did they realize that this crystal of a sage actually had such a great effect.
Once refined, one can instantly attain sainthood.
This Saint's Crystal is even more direct than the Primordial Purple Qi.
After all, even if they obtained the Primordial Purple Qi, they could not immediately become saints; they could only be said to have the foundation for becoming saints.
Further, a great opportunity is still needed, along with the assistance of meritorious deeds, in order to successfully attain enlightenment.
But the Saint's Crystal is very direct; as long as it is refined, one can instantly become a saint.
The more they thought about it, the more excited the many quasi-saints present became, and their gazes toward the two saintly crystals in Dao Ancestor Hongjun's hand were even more intense.
Such a treasure is naturally something everyone would want.
For them, who were quasi-saints, the temptation of attaining sainthood was simply too great to resist.
At the same time, the six sages present were also astonished by the effect of the Sage Crystal.
Although they were saints, they knew that becoming a saint was not an easy thing.
Nuwa molded humans from clay, achieving sainthood through merit, a process that took a very long time and required a great deal of effort before she finally succeeded.
The story of the Three Pure Ones establishing themselves as saints within the three religions is full of twists and turns.
As for the Western religions' Jieyin and Zhunti, they had to make a great vow to borrow a large amount of merit from the Heavenly Dao because they did not have enough merit, before they finally succeeded in attaining enlightenment.
However, the Sage Crystal that Hongjun has taken out can be refined to instantly become a saint.
It's incredible to even the saints.
Even Niu Ben was shaken upon seeing this, and couldn't help but gasp, thinking to himself:
"Oh?"
"Is this Saint's Crystal really that powerful?"
"After refining it, one can immediately attain sainthood."
"This is truly... terrifying!"
Although he did not take the path of achieving sainthood through merit, he chose to attain enlightenment through primordial chaos.
But Niu Ben was also well aware that the path to sainthood was extremely difficult.
Even if one takes the simplest path of achieving sainthood through merit, one not only needs the primordial purple energy that forms the foundation for sainthood, but also great merit, great perseverance, and great opportunity.
But nowadays, all you need to do is refine a Saint Crystal, and all of that is unnecessary; you can directly become a Saint in one step!
"Such a crystal of sainthood is simply a heaven-defying treasure."
Niu Ben sighed inwardly. Although the Saint's Crystal was of little use to him, it would still be a good thing if he could get his hands on it.
