Chapter 862 Luo Zu: I am the strongest contender for the Sainthood

In fact, there is no such thing as Hongmeng Purple Qi. In fact, the most important thing is the first few cushions in the Zixiao Palace, which are commonly known as the holy seat.

As for why they can be called saints, the focus is not on those cushions, nor is it because Patriarch Hongjun selected soldiers and generals and accepted them as entry-level disciples and registered disciples and thus became saints, but rather that they can become saints and have the qualifications to become saints.

"In the past, the general trend of Heaven's Way was already determined. After the Taoist Ancestor certified the Hunyuan Sage, the number of saints actually existed, just as the number of Daluo now exists, and the same is true for Daluo Wuji and Hunyuan Quasi-Sage. There were nine saints in the past, but now there are only seven, with only two left. However, the prehistoric world has a limit, and one was occupied first. So how many saints are there now?" The Great Immortal Zhenyuan gave Luo Zu an arithmetic problem.

"It seems that the Great Immortal and I are also competitors for the sainthood." Luo Zu said half-jokingly.

Zhenyuan Daxian chuckled and said, "Daoyou's cultivation speed is indeed not slow. Perhaps you can really catch up with the competition for the Sainthood."

"Great Immortal, you are not joking, right?" Luo Zu asked curiously.

Zhenyuan Daxian shook his head: "How can this be a joke?"

Luo Zu nodded solemnly: "Then I must practice quickly and achieve Quasi-Sagehood as soon as possible, so that I can discuss the Dao Sainthood with you all."

Ambition does not depend on age; a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement.

Zhenyuan Daxian then talked about the old stories of Zixiao Palace.

After Daozu attained enlightenment as a saint, and before achieving unity with the Dao, he opened up the Zixiao Palace in the Heaven Beyond Heaven, and then spread the teachings of Dao throughout the world, letting all living beings know that there was such a person as Daozu, and that he would pass down a realm above Daluo Wuji.

At that time, all the great gods in the ancient times were still wandering in the realm of Daluo Wuji, and even the realm of cultivation in some areas was not unified. Although the Three Emperors ruled the world, sorted out the principles and ethics of the world, and expanded the realm to the realm of Daluo, the relevant realm was never explained, and it was not something like Golden Immortal or Xuanxian. It was a chaos at that time. Later, various forces came on stage one after another, stirring up troubles in the ancient land, and chaos occurred everywhere. Even when the three tribes were fighting for hegemony, the realms of various places were not unified.

Later, the Taoist ancestor ascended to heaven and defined the realm divisions in the heaven beyond heaven, which gave the practice in the ancient land a general realm, which is now the realm of immortality. The great people who know about it would call it the realm of Xuanmen.

In addition to doing such a great thing, the realm above Daluo Wuji was announced and disseminated.

When the great gods of the ancient times heard about this, they set out from the earth, various caves and paradises, small worlds, and various wonderful realms. In the end, there were as many as three thousand great gods who arrived at the Zixiao Palace, so later generations also called them the Three Thousand Guests of the Zixiao Palace.

Of course, this statement was not widely spread. It was only recorded among the three thousand guests, and then they called each other fellow Taoists.

These three thousand guests are also the key to the matter of the sainthood, because the message from Hongjun Daozu arrived at all places in the prehistoric world at the same time, and the Zixiao Palace has a special location, which is in the sky outside the sky. However, Daozu used his great magical powers to make the distance from all places to the Zixiao Palace the same, but there will be many obstacles in the middle, which is a test of the wisdom and luck of all the great gods.

With this arrangement, the first ones to arrive at Zixiao Palace are the current trendsetters.

The Three Pure Ones arrived first, and then all the great gods arrived at the same time. Among them, Nuwa, assisted by the great god Fuxi, arrived at the Zixiao Palace before the other gods and took a seat there. Then the two saints from the West were also very powerful in Taoism, and they squeezed out the other gods and took seats there as well.

"Hmm? The two saints from the West... took their seats first?" Luo Zu was a little surprised.

It was not the ancestor Hongyun and Kunpeng who sat down, and then the two Western saints coaxed the good man Hongyun to give up his seat like crying.

Then he also pulled Kunpeng down.

But it is also true that if this is true, then in the Hongyun case, there should be a scene where Kunpeng holds a grudge against the two Western saints, and then seeks to settle accounts with these two at the same time. It is impossible that he has remained indifferent until now.

After all, before the two saints in the West became saints, their realm... was probably not much different from Daluo Wuji.

"Hongyun, due to his own genius, ultimately defeated Kunpeng and obtained the futon."

"Isn't this too hasty? To determine the sainthood on a cushion?" Luo Zu wanted to ask in his heart, but Dao Zun was right beside him, so he kept his mouth shut and didn't mention it in the end.

But if you think about it carefully, it is actually related to the selection mechanism set by Hongjun Daozu. The same distance, the same tailor-made test of the same difficulty, the one who can finally break it and arrive first is naturally the one with the highest qualifications and talents.

Therefore, there was nothing wrong with Hongjun Daozu's choice, or rather... He didn't care who came, as long as there were people coming.

Even if the first person to come is a Golden Immortal, perhaps He can grant him the holy position.

"In that case, should Patriarch Hongyun also become a saint?" asked Luo Zu.

"In fact, there were many great gods who arrived at Zixiao Palace at the same time, including Taiyi and Dijun, Kunpeng Minghe, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Hongyun and I, Queen Mother of the West and King Father of the East. We all arrived at the same time as Fuxi and Nuwa, but there were some differences. Taiyi was actually a little faster, and Nuwa was dragged down by Fuxi. So Fuxi finally helped Nuwa with all his strength and squeezed out all the great gods." The Great Immortal Zhenyuan emphasized the old story of Queen Nuwa.

"Hongyun actually took advantage of the situation. When the great gods from all sides were competing with each other, he took the position of one of them." This hidden secret is also interesting.

"Also, Hongyun and the Three Pure Ones have a good relationship, and they also secretly helped him at that time."

So at this time we have to mention that those who are righteous will have many supporters.

"Then why did Donghuang and the others only harm Hongyun? It can't be because the Three Pure Ones are like one body, and the two Western Saints have a deep brotherly love, so it would be difficult for them to do it." Luo Zu still didn't understand.

After knowing the realm of saints, and that the sainthood is closely related to this realm, why would those great gods only besiege Old Ancestor Hongyun and ignore other sainthood winners?

Even Luo Zu would not do such a foolish thing. They must be eradicated completely.

It can only be said that Luo Zu was born too late, and those older generation Daluos all like to tamper with the long river of time. You cut off a section today, and I will cut off a section tomorrow. In order to ensure the normal operation of the long river of time, they will also fabricate history, making later generations face this past time that is either full of fog or irrelevant but can connect the past and the future, and they can only scratch their heads in anxiety.

As for the secret of Zixiao Palace, there were countless dark hands touching it, cutting it into pieces. Otherwise, with Luo Zu's current Daluo realm, he had quietly traced back to the beginning of the long river of time in the ancient times. How could he need Zhenyuan Daxian to tell him this history?

"That's because their Daluo Wuji is different." Zhenyuan Daxian said mysteriously.

What do you mean by different? Luo Zu didn't quite understand.

"That's a state...even now I can't describe it."
