Unfortunately, the Jade Emperor did not respond to the Queen Mother's advice. He fell into deep thought. No one knew what he was thinking.
…
Chaos was born. Heaven and earth were born.
In the distant Primordial World, Dao Ancestor Hong Jun had once preached in the Purple Cloud Palace.
He also announced to all living beings in the Primordial World that there were only seven Saints in the world.
The Three Pure Ones were formed from Pangu's essence soul. They later acknowledged Hong Jun as their master and listened to the Dao in the Purple Cloud Palace. They were given three strands of Primordial Violet Qi and established the three sects to become Saints through merit.
Yu Qing Yuanshi Tianzun.
Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun.
Taiqing Daode Tianzun.
As the three of them were formed from Pangu's essence soul, they were born as incarnations of the Dao. They were also the three Saints destined by the heavens and were respected by all living beings.
Later on, there was Zhun Ti who shamelessly complained to Hong Jun in the Purple Cloud Palace. He was able to acknowledge Hong Jun as his master and become an in-name disciple of the Dao Ancestor. Then, he established Western Buddhism and became a Saint through merit.
The sixth Saint was Nüwa of the demon race. Due to her merit in mending the heavens and creating humans, she became a Saint with these two great merits and was called Empress Nüwa by the Myriad Spirit Venerable.
However, after countless years, there were only six Saints in the world. The seventh Saint mentioned by Dao Ancestor Hong Jun had never appeared. The last strand of Primordial Violet Qi was also unknown.
Be it Daluo Jinxian or the quasi-Sages, they searched for the last strand of Primordial Violet Qi in countless years for the last Saint position in the world.
The vicissitudes of the world, the passage of time.
The seventh Saint had never appeared. The Primordial Violet Qi was nowhere to be seen. Even the Dao Ancestor had long merged with the Dao and turned into the Heavenly Dao to control the operation of the world.
Ye Xuan did not care about the Saint position for the time being because he knew that it was not something he could covet now.
Moreover, according to Ye Xuan's knowledge, the Saints in the world were also divided into strong and weak.
There were only three ways to become a Saint.
The first was the way to become a Saint for the Three Pure Ones and the rest. They were all Saints through merit. Only with great merit and Primordial Violet Qi could one transform into a Saint.
The second method was to sever the three corpses to become a Saint. The three corpses were the Good Corpse, the Evil Corpse, and the Self Corpse.
Since the beginning of the world, only Hongjun Dao Ancestor became a Saint by severing the Three Corpses. In the end, he used his own body to make up for the Heavenly Dao. Although the six Saints also wanted to walk the path of severing the Three Corpses to become a Saint, they could only sever the Good and Evil Corpses. In the end, they could not sever their own bodies. In the end, they became Saints by virtue.
As for the third method, it was also the legendary method of becoming a Saint. It was known as using strength to prove one's Dao.
This kind of method was extremely barbaric and could be said to have no chance of survival.
Using strength to prove one's Dao, disrespecting the heavens and the earth. Only cultivating oneself, breaking through the limits of the heavens and the earth, transcending the Heavenly Dao. What they believed in was using strength to break through all techniques.
Legend had it that if someone could prove his Dao through strength, he would be the Saint of all Saints after becoming a Saint. Even killing a Saint would not be a problem.
However, legends were only legends. Since the beginning of the world, no one had been able to prove their Dao through strength.
To put it bluntly, all living beings with intelligence were born and nurtured by the world. Even the spiritual energy they absorbed came from the world. How could they surpass the Heavenly Dao?
Among the three methods of becoming a Saint, the simplest was the first one, becoming a Saint through virtue.
However, this was relatively simple. In the eyes of the Sage-to-be and Daluo Jinxian, it was also an impossible task.
First of all, one had to have Hong Meng Immortal Qi, great virtue, and one's cultivation had to be in the Sage-to-be realm. If it was in the beginning of the world, there might be some possibility. However, in the current Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, where would one get the virtue to become a Saint?
Therefore, many outstanding people were unwilling to be below the Saints. They embarked on the path of severing the three corpses to become a Saint.
However, in the endless passage of time, the number of people who managed to sever two corpses could be counted on one's fingers. There were even people with strong Dao hearts who tried to sever the third corpse, the ego. However, the ego was still the self. If they severed the ego, they would end up dead.
Just as Dao Ancestor Hongjun said, there were only seven Saints in the world. As for when the seventh Saint would be born, it had always been a topic of endless debate in the Three Realms.
Celestial Court, Thirty-Third Heaven, Weiyang Palace.
Ye Xuan was very idle these days. Zhao Gongming visited him from time to time. He even told him that Guanyin of the South Sea had come to the Celestial Court to denounce him, but she was scared away by two decrees.
The first decree was issued by someone, while the second decree was issued by Tongtian. This also made Zhao Gongming hint that Ye Xuan was very important to Tongtian. If he could join the Jie Sect, with his talent, it was not impossible for him to be accepted as a personal disciple by Tongtian.
However, Ye Xuan gave a vague answer. Naturally, he would not agree easily. This made Zhao Gongming extremely bitter, but he did not persuade too much.
On this day, Ye Xuan sat cross-legged in the void. Dozens of Demon Kings stood on his left and right. Below him, the Xuan Tian Celestial Official was pale. He was holding a celestial book and reporting something to Ye Xuan.
"Xuan Tian Celestial Official, you are very bold. You only gave my subordinates a false title, but they have no real power. Do you think I am easy to bully?"
Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes. His voice was cold. The Heavenly Peng King and the others looked at the Xuan Tian Celestial Official fiercely. Their fierce eyes almost scared the Xuan Tian Celestial Official out of his wits.
"Celestial Emperor, please calm down. I have my difficulties." The Xuan Tian Celestial Official wailed. He almost cried and begged Ye Xuan.
"Celestial Emperor, it is not that I want to go against you. However, His Majesty has already said that although the Demon Kings of the lower world have made contributions, they have just entered the Celestial Court. If they are given real power, I am afraid that the other Immortals will not accept it. Therefore, I have temporarily given them a title. After a few days …"
Without waiting for the Xuan Tian Celestial Official to finish, Ye Xuan coldly interrupted, "The Jade Emperor is in charge of the Three Realms. He should be rewarded for his contributions and punished for his mistakes. If he does not even know how to reward and punish, then what is the use of having the Jade Emperor?"
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, the Xuan Tian Celestial Official broke out in cold sweat. He did not dare to continue.
Ye Xuan was the East Pole Emperor. He could speak without restraint. He was just a small Celestial Official. If he said something wrong and the Jade Emperor heard it, he was afraid that he would end up in a miserable state.
Looking at the Xuan Tian Celestial Official's trembling body, Ye Xuan knew that he was just following orders. Even if he made things difficult for him, it was useless. He still had to solve the problem from the root.
"Give me the Celestial Book," Ye Xuan said calmly.
The Xuan Tian Celestial Official did not dare to delay. He handed the Celestial Book to Ye Xuan. As Ye Xuan flipped through the Celestial Book, a cold smile appeared on his face.
"Didn't two of the Nine Brilliance Star Lord die in the battle with the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit? Lion Elephant King and Snake Demon King can take his place."
"Yes, six of the 28 Lunar Mansions died. Green Dragon King and the others can also take their place."
Ye Xuan picked up a jade brush and constantly changed the Celestial Official. This made the Xuan Tian Celestial Official pale. Cold sweat dripped from his forehead to the ground.
"The position of Marshal Tian Peng has always been vacant. He is in charge of the Nine Brilliance Star Lord and the 100,000 Celestial River Navy. This is the most important position of the Celestial Court. There cannot be any mistakes. Tian Peng King is an Allheaven Xuan Immortal. He is the most suitable."
