Last time was one thing, but this time it's the same old story.
Everyone else came to listen to the Saint preach, but he, on the other hand, came to Zixiao Palace to cultivate. It's simply unbelievable.
And yet, such a person has even entered the Quasi-Saint realm!!!
Currently, in the Great Desolation, the number of people who have entered the Quasi-Saint realm is extremely small.
The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti. Besides them, there are none.
Di Jun originally had the chance to sever his Corpse, but he was always busy with the Demon Clan's affairs, so he was delayed.
Kunpeng could also sever his Corpse, but he didn't have a suitable magic treasure in his hands.
He created the Demon Script and obtained a portion of merit. After absorbing it, his strength increased significantly.
However, what he didn't know was that absorbing merit to increase strength would lead to an unstable realm.
Nuwa is the best example; she Proved Dao through merit, and her strength is the weakest.
The Investiture of the Gods also revealed many problems.
During the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period, the Jiejiao didn't gain much, but the disciples of the Jiejiao who didn't rely on merit to become Quasi-Saints were fiercer than the last, causing chaos among the disciples of the Human and Chan sects.
merit isn't something that can't be absorbed; it's best to absorb it when breaking through a realm; otherwise, there will be a lot of trouble.
Hongjun's preaching time is the best cultivation time, so Xu Feng naturally wants to cultivate diligently during these ten thousand years.
Moreover, he only needs to dedicate a little bit of his mind to listening to the preaching. After all, he doesn't walk the Three Corpses Dao Proving path, so he doesn't need to listen as carefully and comprehend as thoroughly as others.
After the three preachings ended, Nuwa was the fastest to Proved Dao.
At that time, he would pull Nuwa in to help him reduce his shackles, allowing him to cultivate quickly.
Xu Feng believed Nuwa wouldn't refuse.
After all, her treasure for Proving Dao was still in his hands. Without the nine heavens breathing earth, how could she create the Human Race?
It was also fortunate that the will of heaven was just a will. If it were a living person, knowing that Xu Feng was using this method to reduce the pressure of his shackles, he would definitely crush him with a single slap.
Awesome!!!
Every time the pressure of the shackles lessened, cultivating became very comfortable. Xu Feng really liked this feeling.
So these ten thousand years were really important to him.
This time, Hongjun mainly discussed the comprehension of the Quasi-Saint realm, and also mentioned the position of a Saint, which made many people harbor their own little schemes.
Ten thousand years is a very short time.
When Hongjun finished his sermon, Laozi eagerly asked:
"May I ask Master, what is a Saint?"
"One who Proves the Supreme Great Dao, whose primordial spirit is entrusted to the void, and from then on is immortal and indestructible, unfallen through immeasurable kalpas. Below a Saint, all are ants!!!"
Hongjun's words greatly shocked everyone present.
Below a Saint, all are ants.
This sentence had too great an impact on everyone. It meant that if they didn't become a Saint, everyone would be in danger of falling. Only by becoming a Saint could they truly be immortal and indestructible.
Becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal means you are eternally immortal, but you won't die of old age. Can you still avoid conflicts with others?
The so-called opportunities and benefits are all fought for. If you don't fight, you won't get them. If you fight, you might die, but who wants to die?
"May I ask Master, is the number of Saints limited?"
Zhunti asked what was on everyone's minds.
Looking at him, Hongjun said indifferently:
"Saints emerge in accordance with the will of heaven. Under the will of heaven, nine is the extreme number."
"May I ask Master, who can Proved Dao and become a Saint?"
Zixiao Palace suddenly became chaotic, chirping like a vegetable market.
With over three thousand people, one word from you, one word from me, it was chaotic enough.
Xu Feng opened his eyes, feeling regretful.
Ten thousand years was too short, and his accumulation was insufficient. He still needed a lot of time to break through to the mid-Quasi-Saint stage, but Hongjun only had one preaching session left.
The number of sessions was too few, and the time was too short.
It was also fortunate that Hongjun wouldn't peek into the inner thoughts of the people below; otherwise, he would definitely want to kill him.
Preaching three times, if it weren't for transmitting his Dao lineage, and if it weren't for the will of heaven, it's estimated that Hongjun would be too lazy to open Zixiao Palace to preach for others.
Xu Feng, on the other hand, even complained that it was too little.
It can be said that, in the entire Zixiao Palace, except for Xu Feng, everyone else was eagerly looking at Hongjun, wanting to know who could Proved Dao and become a Saint, and who had this qualification.
Hongjun didn't answer the question directly but looked at the Three Pure Ones,
"You three are transformed from Pangu's primordial spirit and can shoulder the important task of transmitting the Dao lineage, thus you can become Saints."
As Hongjun spoke, he opened his hand, and three streams of Hongmeng Purple Energy flew out of his palm and entered the Three Pure Ones' bodies.
"This is Hongmeng Purple Energy, an essential item for Proving Dao."
"We respectfully thank Master!!!"
The Three Pure Ones excitedly thanked Hongjun repeatedly.
Hongjun didn't respond and looked at Nuwa, saying:
"Nuwa, you are my closed-door disciple. In the future, you will have a great opportunity to fulfill, and you can also become a Saint."
"Nuwa respectfully thanks Master, Master's peace be upon you."
Who would want to be an ant if they could become a Saint?
Nuwa was very excited.
What about us?
Everyone else looked eagerly at Hongjun. Hongjun hesitated for a few seconds and continued:
"Jieyin and Zhunti, although you two are from the West, you are also people with great opportunities and great fortune, and you can also become Saints."
"We respectfully thank Master, Master's peace be upon you!!!"
Jieyin and Zhunti's voices trembled with excitement.
Having given what needed to be given, Hongjun finally looked at Xu Feng, the only person still sitting on the futon without moving,
"Xu Feng, you are a descendant of the Ancient Yinglong, destined to lead the Dragon Clan, and possess great merit, thus you can become a Saint."
As he spoke, a stream of Hongmeng Purple Energy entered Xu Feng's body.
Xu Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Why did he come to Zixiao Palace besides cultivating?
Wasn't it for this Hongmeng Purple Energy?
After Pangu opened up the heavens and earth, and the Heavenly Dao order was perfected, one needed Hongmeng Purple Energy to Proved Dao. If it weren't for this, why would Xu Feng bother?
Although the system might reward Hongmeng Purple Energy, it was only a possibility. Who could guarantee it?
It's better to seize this thing early.
Without Proving Dao and becoming a Saint, there's no way to break the shackles on one's body.
No matter how strong a Quasi-Saint is, he can only contend with a Saint for a bit. In a fight, he will ultimately suffer losses and can easily be schemed against and targeted.
"Xu Feng, are you willing to be my personal disciple?"
Previously, Hongjun had intended to take Xu Feng as a registered disciple if Xu Feng had taken the initiative.
But this time, he not only proactively mentioned it but also offered the status of a personal disciple, causing the people in Zixiao Palace to widen their eyes in disbelief, almost thinking they had misheard.
Even the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti found it incredible.
Could there be a Make up operation for accepting disciples?
And it was the status of a personal disciple.
Indeed, if Hongjun didn't have this intention, the system wouldn't have issued the task.
There must be a trap here. Xu Feng didn't want to become the second Master of Tongtian, so he immediately said:
"Replying to Dao Ancestor, this disciple has a bloodline inheritance path and does not cultivate the Three Corpses Dao. It would be inappropriate for me to become Dao Ancestor's disciple."
If he wasn't even walking the Three Corpses Dao Proving path, why bother acknowledging a master and becoming a laughingstock?
Although very few people would actually find it laughable, facts were facts.
Xu Feng brought up this reason, and it was then that the people in Zixiao Palace realized that Xu Feng had not walked the Three Corpses Dao Proving path!!!
After silently observing him for a while, Hongjun withdrew his gaze,
"Very well, you all may withdraw."
Since things had been said to this extent, under everyone's watchful eyes, Hongjun couldn't force the issue.
