Flowers rained down, Golden Crows flew across the sky, and True Phoenixes danced. The sound of the Great Dao resonated throughout the Untainted Land.
The golden altar emitted endless holy light, as if it was cheering and welcoming the arrival of the Sage!
However, the black-robed man who stood in the Void like a Fiendgod did not seem to care about the scene in front of him. He did not respond to the Holy Altar that constantly invited him to ascend to the Sage position.
He just stood in the Void quietly, neither leaving nor ascending to the Sage position. It was as if the Sage position that made countless creatures in the Untainted Land crazy had no value in his eyes.
"What's going on? This senior has already become a Sage. Why is he unwilling to ascend to the Sage position? "
"Could it be that this Sage position has some restrictions? Is that why this senior is unwilling to accept the Sage position?"
"Senior doesn't want it, but I want it. This is the Sage position. Isn't it what we have been pursuing for billions of years?"
As time passed, seeing that the black-robed Sage had no intention of ascending to the Sage position, the creatures in the Untainted Land, who were originally full of reverence, were now full of doubt.
They did not understand. The Sage position was right in front of them. What was this senior waiting for?
"Take back the Holy Altar. I don't need this Sage position!"
After a full hour, under the gazes of countless creatures, the black-robed man looked up at the Void. The first sentence he said immediately made the Innate Gods feel like kneeling down.
Damn it, the Sage position is right in front of you. You don't want it just because you say so?
It's okay if you don't want it. Don't ask the Heavenly Dao to take it back. Leave it to us!
The rain of flowers in the sky suddenly froze, and the sound of the Great Dao also suddenly froze. It seemed that even the Heavenly Dao, who had sent down the Sage position, did not expect to encounter such a situation.
The Sage position was right in front of them, but the person who had become a Sage did not accept it. This was simply a naked provocation to the Heavenly Dao.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao did not have self-awareness and did not have any feelings of anger. After the black-robed Sage rejected the Sage position, the Holy Altar in the Void, which was as bright as the sun, slowly disappeared into the endless Void.
"This king, Haotian, has already achieved the Dao. Three days from now, I will give a sermon at the Haotian Palace outside the 33 Heavens. I will pass down the law of the Great Dao to anyone who is fated to come." Seeing that the Holy Altar had disappeared, the black-robed Saint spoke slowly. A deep and indifferent voice resounded in the Primordial World.
With that, the black-robed Saint took a step forward and directly stepped into the depths of the starry sky, disappearing from everyone's sight. At that moment, the Primeval Universe became peaceful again. The boundless pressure that had been pressing down on everyone suddenly dissipated.
"Phew! The might of a Saint is indeed terrifying. I reckon that he can kill us with just a thought! "an Innate God exclaimed.
"Everyone, do you know why Saint Haotian is unwilling to accept the position of Saint? Isn't it good to become an immortal Heavenly Dao Saint? "Demon Master Kunpeng couldn't understand. One had to know that their lifelong pursuit was to become a Saint.
"Perhaps, Senior Haotian is so powerful that he doesn't care about the Karmic Rank of a Saint?" Fuxi, who was dressed in a black and white Taoist robe, said with a flash of light in his eyes.
"That's normal. Once you accept the position of Saint, you have to accept the constraints of the Way of Heaven. Although you are immortal, you still have to bear the responsibilities of a Saint. If you already have the strength of a Saint, will you still accept the position that constrains you?" The one who spoke was dressed in a blood-red robe and had long blood-red hair. His whole body emitted a bloodthirsty aura. He was the famous Ancestor Minghe in the Primordial World. His strength was not weaker than that of the Three Pure Ones.
"What fellow Taoist Minghe said makes sense. If I have the strength of a Saint, I will also not accept the constraints of the position of Saint. I will be free and unrestrained. Wouldn't that be great?" The person who spoke was dressed in a dark green Daoist robe with a green immortal sword hanging from his waist. He looked very young, and the space between his brows was filled with an unruly expression. It seemed that not many among the group of Innate Gods could enter his eyes.
"What fellow Taoist Tongtian said makes sense. Unfortunately, in this world, except for Senior Haotian, who else can have the strength of a Saint without accepting the position of Saint?" Fuxi shook his head and then said self-deprecatingly, "Moreover, we are a group of practitioners who have not even stepped into the Sage-to-be realm. Isn't it a little too early to talk about the position of Saint?"
"It's not early. Three days later, we will go to Haotian's Palace and get the answer. If Senior is willing to teach us the way to become a Saint, I will worship him as my teacher and respect him as the Tao Ancestor. I will worship him for generations and will never betray him!" The person who spoke this time was a fat monk with a broad body. He had an amiable expression on his face and looked very friendly.
"I am Cundi, from the barren land in the West. Today, I can see Senior Haotian attaining the Tao. This trip is really worthwhile!"
Three Pure Ones and the others glanced at Cundi and found that he was extremely ordinary among the Innate Gods. They could not see anything special about him. Moreover, he came from the barren West, so they did not bother to pay attention to him. For a moment, Cundi stood there in a daze and no one answered him.
Cundi was a little embarrassed, but he was not angry. Over the years, he had been used to these Innate Gods' discrimination against the West. After shaking his head slightly, he was ready to leave this place and go to the depths of the Untainted Universe to find Haotian's Palace, which stood outside the 33 Heavens!
Buzz!
However, at this moment, just as the Innate Gods were about to leave, a powerful force suddenly fell from the Void and suppressed the Innate Gods again.
"What's going on?"
"Could it be that Senior Hao Tian has returned?"
"It doesn't seem like Senior Haotian's way of doing things. It seems … that someone has become a Sage again!"
Just as the Innate Gods were surprised, the Void was filled with the rain of flowers again. The shadow of the Golden Wushen Phoenix appeared out of nowhere. Endless golden lotuses covered the Void, and the familiar rhythm of the Great Dao sounded again.
Buzz!
The huge Holy Altar, which was as vast as the Sun Star, appeared again in the endless Void. The Innate Gods could not help but swallow their saliva when they saw the familiar shadow of the Holy Altar.
"Someone has really become a Sage again?"
"What day is it today? Why are there so many people becoming Sages? Is the Way of Heaven giving out Sages wholesale today? "
Three Pure Ones and the others looked at the sage-like green-robed elder above the Holy Altar with puzzlement. The senior who had become a Sage today seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. They had never seen him before. Was he not the first batch of Innate Gods born after the birth of the Untainted Land?
