911: Chapter 318 The Six Saints are Coming!
In the scene revealed by the Tai Chi Diagram, Zhunti was wailing loudly over the coffin, tears streaming down his face.
Li Ping’an felt a tingling sensation all over his body.
First, because Jie Yin and Zhunti actually had a teacher, and this teacher was still breathing.
Isn’t this existence similar to that of Taoist Hongjun?
Second, this old man is really shameless, endlessly claiming that the Three Pure Ones are oppressing them, yet they probably already have a ‘Dao Immortal Tribulation Mutual Aid Treaty’ with Yuanshi Tianzun right in front of him!
Is it only they who can bully the Holy Mother Nuwa and the Human Race, and not the Human Race find a strong support to fight back against them?
Li Ping’an felt that sometimes his skin was thick enough—like in affairs of the heart.
But he hadn’t expected,
this elder of the Western Sect, truly…
Li Ping’an momentarily didn’t know how to describe him.
The Stone Coffin was quiet and still; the image displayed on the Tai Chi Diagram trembled slightly, as if some Dao Charm was interfering with it.
The Stone Coffin slowly opened a crack, seemingly filled with endless starlight, and then a shadow appeared in front of Jie Yin and Zhunti.
Jie Yin and Zhunti, along with a lantern beside them, saluted respectfully.
The image on the Tai Chi Diagram grew darker, as if it could disconnect at any moment.
And the shadow, with an indiscernible face, said in a deep voice, “Can Taiqing become a Saint?”
Jie Yin replied softly, “Not yet.”
The shadow was silent for a long time, as if sensing something.
After a while, the shadow said, “When has the Heavenly Dao of this world become …”
Zhunti hastily spoke:
Among the Three Pure Ones, Tongtian Sect Leader now holds the sword at your disciple’s throat!
“They even nurtured a new Heavenly Emperor from the Human Race, seizing control of the Heavenly Dao, and now they are using our hard-earned faith of a hundred thousand years to cut off our chance of becoming Saints!
“You once said, if the great faith method fails, you would grant us the opportunity to become Saints, now, now…
“Your brothers becoming Saints is destined; there is no need to panic.”
The shadow seemed to ponder something for a long time before speaking.
“Go back and make preparations; the opportunity to become Saints will arrive soon.
“But you two must remember,
“Whatever I have given you, I can also take back at any time, do not forget the promise made to me.
“This world is merely a coffin, finding transcendence before the silence of heaven and earth is the right path, being a Saint of the Heavenly Dao is ultimately of the lowest order.”
Jie Yin and Zhunti both bowed their heads in salute.
Zhunti joyfully said: “Thank you, Teacher.”
The shadow shook its head, even though it had no face or specific expression, it still conveyed undeniable disdain.
“From now on, do not disturb my slumber.”
Subsequently, the shadow turned into a wisp of smoke and returned to the Stone Coffin, the crack in the coffin slowly closed, and it disappeared into the cliff without a trace.
A murmur seemed to still be heard from the Tai Chi Diagram:
“Not thinking about how to transcend this world, but instead binding the umbilical cord of the world around one’s neck.
“The creatures of the Primordial World are truly ludicrous.”
The phantom of the Tai Chi Diagram disappeared in a flash, leaving only the old, the middle-aged, and the young, and Li Ping’an facing each other inside the hut.
Li Ping’an swallowed hard and asked softly, “That shadow was…”
“I do not know,” Taiqing shook his head slightly.
Yuanshi Tianzun spoke slowly: “Our teacher once warned us, Jie Yin and Zhunti have their own backings, and it probably refers to the existence within this coffin.”
Tongtian Sect Leader said: “When our teacher lectured us, he often liked to talk about transcendence.
The Stone Coffin contains another universe, quite mysterious, the origin of this shadow might not be so simple.”
Li Ping’an felt dizzy.
At this moment, he seemed to understand many things.
For example, the schemes of the Western Sect, spreading the ‘great faith method’ across these three thousand small worlds, seemingly to achieve sainthood through this method.
This method was taught to them by that shadow in the Stone Coffin;
however, due to his rise, that is, his Golden Cloud could absorb faith and merit and transform it into Heavenly Dao virtues, their plan was completely ruined.
This actually cut off their chance of becoming Saints.
The Western Sect’s two leaders went to their teacher this time, not really because they were aggrieved and went to complain, but they had agreed to go together to appeal:
‘The formula you taught us cannot continue.’
‘How about you arrange for us to become True Heavenly Dao Saints, as you promised us back then.’
The shadow seemed to also realize the changes in the Heavenly Dao, and allowed Jie Yin and Zhunti to return and listen to the child.
Li Ping’an was a bit confused.
Could this shadow really grant the opportunity to become a Saint?
If the two leaders of the Western Sect suddenly became Heavenly Dao Saints, wouldn’t the Three Pure Ones, Nüwa, the Human Race, Xuanyuan, and his own family be in danger?
Taiqing spoke slowly: “There is only one path to becoming a True Heavenly Dao Saint.”
Tongtian Sect Leader explained on the side:
“A so-called Saint of the Heavenly Dao merges oneself with the Heavenly Dao, making one’s own Great Dao the foundation of the Heavenly Dao.
This requires Hongmeng Purple Qi as a guide.
“The so-called Hongmeng Purple Qi is a precious substance formed during the Creation of Heaven and Earth, formless, colorless, and intangible, the foundational root of heaven and earth.
If one merges with Hongmeng Purple Qi, one steps halfway into the threshold of being a Saint of the Heavenly Dao.
“In this world, there are a total of nine threads of Hongmeng Purple Qi, all in the hands of Taoist Hongjun.”
Li Ping’an thought deeply.
His heart of Dao trembled slightly; it was a reminder from the Heavenly Dao.
That shadow wasn’t a creature of the Primordial World, not an Innate God and Demon, not a chaotic spirit, not a creation of the cosmos, seeming to have transcended the Tangible Realm and returned to it, posing no threat to the Heavenly Dao.
