Below the Purple Cloud Palace, rays of light streaked across and disappeared into it. After a total of seven rays of light streaked across, the gate of the Purple Cloud Palace closed with a bang.
At this moment, inside the Purple Cloud Palace, seven prayer mats had appeared in front of Hongjun at some point in time. They were arranged in an orderly manner in front of him, and there were people standing in front of each prayer mat.
"Greetings, Teacher!"
The seven Sages bowed to Hongjun.
Among them, even Houtu had once received the favor of Hongjun's teachings. Although she had broken through the shackles of the Heavenly Dao with boundless virtue, shed her old body, and cultivated the Indestructible Golden Body of Virtue, her strength had reached the peak of the Fifth Dimension, but she still held respect for Hongjun.
This had nothing to do with strength, but a kind of attitude.
Especially after the invasion of the alternate universe, when Hongjun had single-handedly fought against the strongest of the alternate universe and protected the Wilderness, this kind of respect had become even more obvious.
"Sit!"
Hongjun nodded expressionlessly. He raised his hand, and the seven Sages felt an invisible force that made them sit down cross-legged.
This kind of power was very fascinating. Unfortunately, the Heavenly Dao of the Wilderness was too restrictive, and this realm was too elusive. They had cultivated for so many years and listened to Dao countless times, but they had not been able to break through the shackles and attain half of the Sixth Dimension.
"Teacher, may I know why you've called us here this time? Is there some movement in the alternate universe again? "
The leader of the futons raised his head and said. He also had an old face and looked as indifferent as water. Whether it was his expression or his behavior, he was just like a replica of Hongjun. He was emotionless and emotionless, doing nothing and ending nothing.
This was Laozi, the legendary leader of the Ren School. In fact, he should be the leader of Daoism, the Lord of Dao and Virtue. There was no such thing as the Ren School in the Wilderness.
On one side of him was a calm middle-aged man with a solemn expression. He looked like an incomparably solemn ancient scholar who guarded nature and had a beginning and an end.
On the other side was a handsome young man with a sharp edge and restrained killing intent. He carried four long swords on his back, and his whole body was like a sword edge. He was calm and composed. He was Daoist Heavenspan.
The three of them were the Three Pure Ones, Hongjun's three personal disciples.
Legend had it that they were three parts of the primordial spirit of the great god Pangu, but whether this was true or not, only they themselves knew.
Looking at them one by one, there was the human-headed and snake-bodied Saint Nuwa on one side of the Tongtian Sect, the distressed Buddha Lord Jie Yin (Amitabha), the benevolent Buddha Mother Zhunti (Don't be mistaken, gender no longer mattered when one reached this realm. If one had to be particular, one would be a man), and finally, the Lady of Earth, who was the last to become a Saint among these people but had the highest realm.
"There is something important!"
Hongjun nodded. He swept his gaze across his disciples and calmly said, "Several million years ago, when the otherverse invaded, I had a great battle with their leader. However, there was no clear victor!"
"In fact, I lost. If this wasn't the Primordial World, but some other place, I wouldn't be a match for that person! "
"She also has many subordinates. There are a total of seventy-seven Sages. Although they are not as strong as you, if it were not for the Chaos Barrier, we would not have been able to withstand their attacks!"
"So …"
As Hongjun spoke, he gently tapped the Creation Jade Disk above his head. Instantly, the strange door of light appeared again and opened, revealing the boundless space within.
Several balls of light within the space appeared clearly in front of the Sages.
"Is this merit?"
"Faith!"
"Karma and karma?"
The Sages were slightly surprised. They were knowledgeable and could easily tell what these balls of light represented. However … why did their teacher make these things?
"In the Primordial World, the Heavenly Dao manages everything. I am only the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao and can't control much."
"As for the cultivation of living beings, it progresses step by step from refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining the spirit into the void, refining the void into the Dao, and finally, refining the void into the Dao. In the end, they succeed in the Dao Integration and jump out of the river of time to become a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal."
"But it's too difficult."
"The path of cultivation is too difficult. For those ordinary beings, they have to undergo the Thunder Tribulation to become an Immortal. Under the Thunder Tribulation, less than ten percent of them can survive!"
"After becoming an Immortal, the Yuan Venerate enjoys a lifespan of 129,600 years, which is the number of Yuan."
"After one Yuan, the world will send calamities and tribulations. Three calamities and nine disasters, and the Five Decays of Heaven and Man. If they survive, they can live for another Yuan. If they fail, they will turn into ashes."
"Only Zenith Heaven experts can break free from the shackles of fate and truly jump out of the basic jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao to achieve immortality!"
"As such, although there are many living beings in the Primordial World, there are too few who can become Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals. Our military strength is too weak compared to the other universe!"
Hongjun shook his head inwardly.
He knew a lot about the Myriad Worlds. After all, he had once split into billions of clones in the multiverse to search for the Six-Dimensional Fragment. Naturally, his knowledge was much more than his disciples.
In the multiverse, as long as one reached the level of a Four-Dimensional Immortal, they could live forever. However, it was not enough in the Primordial World. Although the lifespan of an Immortal was endless, the tribulations would not give them a chance. Every Yuan, the world would send calamities and tribulations. If they survived, they could continue to live. If they failed, they would die.
The worst thing was that even becoming a Zenith Heaven was not necessarily safe. This was because the Primordial World had a calamity called the Calamity. Every Calamity, the Heavenly Dao would send out a calamity. When that time came, the entire Primordial World would be in chaos.
To put it simply, it was a great cleansing. Just like taking a bath, it washed away the impurities on one's body and eliminated those weak cultivators who did not contribute to the world.
This was the rule of the Primordial World.
Hongjun did not care about all this at first. This was not without its benefits. It would always maintain the vitality of the Primordial World, and would not be drained dry by the large number of Immortals.
However, all of this would undoubtedly not work in the face of the invasion of the other universe.
There had to be a change.
Therefore, he set up the Samsara in the lower realm. These things naturally could not be hidden from the Sages. However, they did not care when they discovered it. After all, they did not know what it was used for. After all, not everyone could see through the extraction of merit and faith.
"The restrictions of the Heavenly Dao are too great. It is difficult to become an Immortal, difficult to become a Zenith Heaven, and even more difficult to become a Sage."
"In order to obtain more experts, I have to find another way."
As he spoke, Hongjun pointed at the few balls of light.
"Is this your method, Teacher? I wonder what these merit and faith are used for? "The Sages looked at the sea of merit and faith and asked.
"To create Sages!" Hongjun suddenly said. This sentence stunned the seven Sages present.
"I'm sure all of you know about my arrangements in the various Minor Chiliocosms. This is my original plan to extract the merit and faith of all living beings."
Merit, to put it bluntly, was a manifestation of the essence. Hongjun used the repeated creation of living beings and Samsara to extract the essence energy from the essence of the Heavenly Dao.
At the same time, he extracted the faith of all living beings. Naturally, there was karma and karma in the various Samsara cycles, though they were relatively rare.
"Your master has already collected enough merit to create a Saint. With my help, he can break through the fetters of the Heavenly Dao and become a Saint!"
"It is the same with faith. Although the other universe's method of becoming a god through faith is very crude, it is similar to the Dao of becoming a god through incense. It goes to the root. After some time, the power of faith will meet the requirements and use the Investiture of the Gods to create a Saint of faith!" However, from his words, he did not seem very interested.
"As for karma and karma …" Hongjun shook his head. "They are far too lacking."
