Chapter 175 The Age of Saints Begins
As early as when the Three Pure Ones established their religion, Zhunti and Jieyin had already realized that their path to sainthood probably lay in establishing their religion. However, the merit of establishing their religion alone was not enough for them to achieve sainthood, so they had to think of other ways to help themselves become saints.
After all, if they were to accumulate enough merit on their own to achieve sainthood, it would probably take an entire eon to do so.
Moreover, the process of becoming a saint cannot be delayed. The Primordial Purple Qi is a great treasure, and the fortune of the primordial world is limited. If one falls behind, one will fall behind step by step. If one is delayed in becoming a saint, countless twists and turns will likely occur.
Putting aside other things, would a saint who has already become a saint watch them become saints and then come to share in the primordial fortune?
Zhunti and Jieyin clearly knew that in the cruel prehistoric world, they could not rely on their senior brothers and sisters who had become saints first to lead them, the two disciples of the Dao Ancestor, to become saints.
In the primordial wilderness, people could only rely on themselves.
"When I generate the Bodhicitta and wish to become a Buddha—" At this moment, Zhunti and Jieyin began to make a great vow together, their voices like thunder, echoing for a long time across the vast western land, and their sound lingered on Mount Sumeru.
As one grand vow after another was made, the Heavenly Dao began to bestow waves of great merit upon Zhunti and Jieyin, enhancing their cultivation.
However, the merit gained from making great vows was decreasing with each wave. After making forty-eight great vows in a row, Zhunti and Jieyin felt bitter as they listened to the increasingly outrageous content of their vows.
However, neither of the Western duo showed any outward reaction.
However, at this moment, Zhunti and Jieyin are still half a step away from becoming saints.
It was just a little short. The merits of establishing a religion decrease with each successive succession. This time, because Styx was the first to establish a religion, the merits of establishing a religion that were originally supposed to be shared equally by Zhunti and Jieyin were much less than before.
The merit of making great vows is also decreasing. Unlike the Three Pure Ones, Zhunti and Jieyin do not have the merit of creating the world to back them up. As long as they establish a religion, they can become saints. Moreover, Zhunti and Jieyin's cultivation is not comparable to that of the original primordial world. When they became saints, their cultivation was unfathomable. All of these factors combined have become a mountain blocking the path to sainthood for Zhunti and Jieyin at this moment.
But what can be done now that things have come to this?
The path you choose, you have to walk it to the end, even if it's tough.
On top of the already outrageous forty-eight great vows, Zhunti and Jieyin continued to add even greater vows.
In the Netherworld Blood Sea, listening to the grand vows of Zhunti and Jieyi, the Styx River's secret passage was absurd.
Is that correct?
Before becoming a saint, Styx's understanding of the Great Vow was not profound. Now, as a saint, and a saint with the cultivation of a Primordial Golden Immortal who is in harmony with the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World, Styx's understanding of the Heavenly Dao is already extraordinary.
The great vow has been made, but it must be repaid. However, it seems that the Styx River, upon hearing the meaning of the vow from Cundi and Jie, no longer wants to think about repaying the vow or the related karmic consequences of heaven and earth; it only wants to become a saint.
However, since the cause and effect were not on Styx himself, he simply ignored it, watched the spectacle, and then continued his cultivation.
Before long, when the great vows made reached a total of seventy-two, the aura of Zhunti and Jieyin rose, and their cultivation finally broke through the Quasi-Saint realm, reaching the Saint realm.
Five divine powers pierced through the primordial world, golden lotuses submerged mountains and rivers, and all sorts of strange phenomena cascaded down upon the world like waterfalls, one after another. The divine power swept across the primordial world, causing all living beings to bow down.
At this moment, the six Heavenly Saints have all become saints, making the evolution of the Heavenly Dao more complete and elevating it to a higher level. As a result, all the Heavenly Dao Saints have also risen in status.
Styx's cultivation level also reached the second level of the Primordial Golden Immortal.
The realm of the Primordial Golden Immortal has twelve levels. Although Styx's current realm is still shallow, who can say for sure what the future holds?
When he first arrived in the primordial world, Styx himself was not confident that he would definitely become a saint in the future. He had walked this path himself.
At this moment, after some deduction, Styx roughly understood the future direction of the prehistoric world.
After the six sages of Heaven have all become saints, if there is no external interference, the future of the prehistoric world is probably destined to be the end of the Dharma era with depleted spiritual energy. In the original prehistoric world, during the Journey to the West calamity, the demon kings of those levels on the Journey to the West calamity were able to dominate the prehistoric world, which is unimaginable in today's prehistoric world.
With the collapse of Mount Buzhou, the world was severely damaged during the Investiture of the Gods calamity, and the amount of spiritual energy that the primordial world could absorb became less and less. However, the immortal and indestructible great supernatural beings were still alive and were absorbing most of the spiritual energy in the primordial world. In addition, the sages needed an unimaginable amount of spiritual energy to accumulate their magical power.
If this continues, how can it last? Perhaps, the end times will eventually come to this desolate place.
Thinking of this, Styx couldn't help but sigh to himself. Why was he thinking about these things? He was already a saint.
However, unlike the other six destined saints, he possesses a divine body with boundless potential. Now, as he attains sainthood, Styx's physical body has surpassed the limit of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm and is gradually transforming towards the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal realm.
The Styx River accumulates magical power, allowing it to devour chaos within chaos, without having to contend with the beings of the primordial world.
With the cultivation of a sage, the Styx River can even continuously absorb and expel chaos, and the excess spiritual energy and turbid energy can nourish the primordial world.
At that moment, a fluctuation in the heavens and earth attracted the attention of the Styx River. Before long, Zhunti and Jieyin emerged from the void, one sitting on a twelve-petaled golden lotus of merit, and the other on a lotus-shaped cloud.
He is a Primordial Golden Immortal, but his status is very unstable.
Like the Quasi-Saint realm, Zhunti and Jieyin are now more like Great Luo Golden Immortals who possess the power of the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Styx saw through Zhunti and Jieyin's current cultivation level at a glance. However, with the blessing of the Heavenly Dao Saint, they can call upon the power of the Primordial World. Therefore, it is hard to say whether Zhunti and Jieyin are stronger or weaker than ordinary Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortals.
However, Styx didn't care much. What could he do? He was just too strong.
With the blessing of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, the power he can unleash is already close to the limit of a Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal. This is the benefit that a Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal with the identity of a Heavenly Dao Saint should receive.
While both possess the blessing of the primordial world, the manifestation of this power in the Styx River is completely different from its manifestation in the six disciples of the Dao Ancestor. It's like how the same computer can have vastly different effects on someone who only knows basic operations versus someone who is a computer expert.
"The two sages have arrived." Styx looked at Zhunti and Jieyin before him and said with a smile.
