#348 - Three widely known paths to sainthood

However, Hongjun's personal combat power and realm have faintly surpassed the level of a Saint, but not completely detached.

Therefore, whether it was the great powers of the ancient primordial world or some ordinary cultivators, when ranking the Saints, they subconsciously excluded Hongjun from the Saints.

What Red Lotus said directly pointed to Dao attainment, referring to the Saint stage.

There are various rumors about breaking through to the Saint realm in the primordial world.

Some say that after Pangu created the heavens and earth, a total of nine strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi were formed in the world, and obtaining one of them could directly make one a Saint.

In this version of the rumor, Hongjun, as a Chaos God and Demon, entered this new world of the primordial world after Pangu created the heavens and earth, and became a Saint by some unknown method.

Moreover, he is a Saint who is one with the Heavenly Dao, hence the name: Heavenly Dao Saint.

In the ancient primordial world, his status is much higher than that of ordinary Saints.

After becoming a Heavenly Dao Saint, Hongjun began to preach in the Zixiao Palace when the primordial beings were ignorant.

When Hongjun preached, he distributed a total of seven strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi, and the whereabouts of the other two strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi remain a mystery to this day.

The distribution of these seven strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi was as follows: Nvwa, Zhunti, Jieyin, Yuanshi Tianzun, Taishang Laojun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, and Hongyun.

There is also an anecdote about this, originally Zhunti and Jieyin had nothing to do with these seven strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Because the two were late when Hongjun preached in the Zixiao Palace.

At that time, the six futons in front were occupied by Nvwa, Yuanshi Tianzun, Taishang Laojun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, Hongyun, and Demon Master Kunpeng.

Zhunti and Jieyin were late, but they were resourceful and relied on their concerted efforts.

Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian Jiaozhu are collectively known as the Three Pure Ones, and they certainly did not dare to provoke them.

Nvwa was a woman, and her strength was not bad, so there was no need for the two to provoke her.

So they set their sights on Hongyun and Demon Master Kunpeng.

Kunpeng was sitting in the sixth seat, and he had the support of the demon race behind him, so he naturally disdained the threat from Zhunti and Jieyin.

Hongyun was sitting in the fifth seat, he had no great background, and he was the first red cloud in the world to attain the Dao.

He was kind-hearted, particularly enthusiastic about making friends, and had a very gentle personality.

To put it bluntly, he was a bit of a Holy Mother, a bit weak, his strength was average, and his background was even worse.

Therefore, when Zhunti and Jieyin proposed to exchange seats, Hongyun felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, so he took the initiative to give up the hard-won fifth seat to Zhunti.

After Zhunti got the seat, he naturally wanted to get one for Jieyin as well.

The two then set their sights on Kunpeng, and then the two worked together to knock Kunpeng off the seat, allowing Jieyin to successfully replace Kunpeng.

This matter started because Hongyun took the initiative to give up his seat, so Kunpeng blamed this hatred on the old good guy Hongyun, leading to the later events of Kunpeng killing Hongyun.

There are different opinions on the process of Kunpeng killing Hongyun, some say that Kunpeng went to Hongyun's dojo alone to kill Hongyun.

Others say that he joined forces with Donghuang Taiyi, Dijun, and Styx to ambush Hongyun on the way and kill Hongyun.

Still others say that he cooperated with the Styx Ancestor, and the two worked together to kill Hongyun, the statements vary.

But what is generally recognized is that Kunpeng saw that the other six who had obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi had already become Saints, but Hongyun had not yet become a Saint.

In addition, Kunpeng simply made up his mind, set up a plan to kill Hongyun and seize this strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi in order to prove his Dao.

The above is a more mainstream rumor about breaking through to the Saint stage in the ancient primordial world.

There is also another version of the rumor that is also mainstream and widely known, that is, becoming a Saint through merit.

The reason why Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian Jiaozhu became Saints is because the Three Pure Ones are transformed from Pangu's three main souls.

Therefore, most of the merit of Pangu's creation of the heavens and earth was distributed to the Three Pure Ones, and the Three Pure Ones were born with the merit of becoming a Saint.

Nvwa became a Saint because she borrowed 'Nine Heavens Breathing Soil' from Houtu to create the human race, thus obtaining great merit and becoming a Saint.

Zhunti and Jieyin made great vows in the barren West, thus obtaining a large amount of merit and becoming Saints.

The fact that Jieyin and Zhunti became Saints was criticized for a long time afterwards.

Because the two became Saints through speculation and empty-handed tactics.

Whether it was the Three Pure Ones becoming Saints or Nvwa becoming a Saint, there was a source to be found, either they had an extraordinary background or they did practical things.

Only these two brothers did not have an extraordinary background like the Three Pure Ones, nor did they do practical things like Nvwa, but relied on their eloquence to make great vows and become Saints.

What is this in Blue Star, it is advance payment, installment payment...

So Zhunti and Jieyin should be regarded as the first to use advance payment and installment payment in the ancient primordial world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the founders.

It is precisely because of this reason that Jieyin and Zhunti are the weakest in the ancient primordial world's six great Saints.

The bottom of the six great Saints is Zhunti, Jieyin is better than him, ranking second to last, and fifth from the top.

If it were not for the fact that the two have been working together, their status among the Saints in the ancient primordial world would definitely not be very high.

But it just so happens that these two brothers have always been working together, and later they continued to stir up trouble in the ancient primordial world, causing many things.

Having said that, even the weakest Saint is still a Saint, and compared to the relatively considerable number of Quasi-Saints, they are still a rare species.

Similarly, their combat power and realm are also vastly different from Quasi-Saints, Jieyin and Zhunti just have no face in the small circle of Saints.

As for outside this small circle, countless beings in the ancient primordial world still have to treat them with respect.

The path of becoming a Saint through merit can be regarded as a personal opportunity, while becoming a Saint through the Hongmeng Purple Qi can be regarded as predetermined by the Heavenly Dao in the ancient primordial world.

The widespread circulation of these two methods of becoming a Saint shows the expectations and anticipation of the primordial beings for becoming a Saint.

The former is that the primordial beings believe that as long as their own opportunity arrives, becoming a Saint is only a matter of a thought.

The latter is the primordial beings' awe of the Heavenly Dao in the dark, believing that everything is a game set up by the Heavenly Dao.

Of course, there is also a less mainstream way to become a Saint, the difficulty of this way to become a Saint is so great that it can be called ascending to the sky.

Whether it is becoming a Saint through merit or the Hongmeng Purple Qi being predetermined, they cannot restrict the existence of those who take this path to become a Saint.

Compared to this path, the former two are as simple as playing house.

This is proving the Dao with strength, becoming a Saint with strength, and only Pangu has existed in the ancient primordial world to this day, becoming a Saint through this method.

This method of becoming a Saint is extremely dangerous, even Pangu had to die after breaking through this realm and creating the primordial world.

These three paths to becoming a Saint are basically more than 80% of the guesses and rumors of the primordial beings about how to break through to the Saint realm.

As for the remaining 20% of the rumors and guesses, either they are too unrealistic, whimsical to the point that even a fool knows they are impossible.

Or they are too simple and straightforward, so simple that even a fool can think of their infeasibility......
