The Chronicle of the Emperor of the Great Desolation

Chapter 70
Yuanshi asked; "Dare to ask the ancestors, what is the difference between a saint and a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian?"

Hongjun said: "The saint is the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, but the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian is not necessarily a saint. The common point of the two is that they have cultivated the Hunyuan Dao Fruit that will last forever. The difference is that the saint's primordial spirit entrusts the void, and the The heaven and the way are in harmony, coexisting with the world, immortal and immortal. You can also borrow the power of the heaven and the earth, and there will never be any shortage of mana. In the same realm, the strength of a saint is better than that of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian."

Tong Tian asked: "Dare to ask the ancestors, how many ways are there to become holy?"

Hongjun said: "There are three thousand ways, all of which can prove Hunyuan, but there are three ways to sum up the Tao of Yuanshen cultivated by the poor Taoist."

Then lead the way; "Which three?"

Hongjun said: "First, to prove the Tao with strength. That is to use one's own strength to break the shackles of the Dao of Heaven, the Yuanshen transcends the Dao of Heaven, merges with the Dao, and becomes an existence on par with the Dao of Heaven. This is a sage of the Dao."

"Second, the three corpses prove the way. After the three corpses are cut off, the three corpses can be combined into one, and first cultivate into the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, and then the Yuanshen entrusts the void to become a saint."

"Third, merit proves the Tao. Merit is the evolution of the origin of the Dao of Heaven. You can use the immeasurable merit to directly gain the perception of the Dao of Heaven, and cultivate the fruit of the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal Dao. However, it is difficult to achieve the Hunyuan Dao Fruit. Before that, the primordial spirit must first communicate with the Heaven. With the help of the power of heaven, it can be condensed into Hunyuan Dao fruit."

Nuwa asked, "How does the primordial spirit communicate with the way of heaven?"

Ancestor Hongjun said: "This requires the foundation of the Dao, the Primordial Purple Qi. The Primordial Purple Qi is the bridge for the primordial spirit to communicate with the Dao of Heaven. Without the Primordial Purple Qi, even if you have immeasurable merits, you will not be able to prove the Tao of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, let alone become a saint." .”

Dongwang Gongdao: "That is to say, the first two methods, even without the primordial purple energy to become holy, can also cultivate the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian Daoguo. But the method of merit and virtue to prove the Tao must first have the primordial spirit communicate with the way of heaven, if there is no primordial purple qi Qi, then no matter how much merit you have, can’t you achieve Hunyuan Dao Fruit?”

Ancestor Hongjun said: "The Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian is immortal and can last forever in the infinite chaos. To a certain extent, he has escaped from the cage of heaven. If he can't cultivate Hunyuan Dao fruit, he needs to use merit to evolve the image of the origin of heaven, To achieve the Hunyuan Dao fruit by means of empowerment. This can only be achieved successfully if the primordial spirit entrusts the heavenly way and integrates with each other. Therefore, if there is only merit and no primordial purple energy, it will not be possible to achieve the Hunyuan Dao fruit."

Duke Dong knew in his heart that the most reliable of these three methods was the method of beheading the three corpses.I won’t talk about proving the way with strength. Proving the way with merit seems to be the easiest, but it is too difficult to obtain merit.

And this way of enlightenment is to directly understand the origin of the way of heaven, which is equivalent to doing the questions after you have the answer. After all, you haven't really gone through it down-to-earth, and your foundation is much worse than the method of the three corpses.

And according to this statement, the method of proving the Tao with merit must first communicate with the heavens, and the primordial spirit entrusts the void.

This also means that the three corpses have two options for proving the Dao, either to be a carefree Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, or to further become a saint.However, if you first bind the primordial spirit with merits and virtues, you can only become a saint, and you cannot choose to be a relatively free Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.

Hongjun went on to say: "The one who proves the Dao with strength is the great saint, which only exists in the imagination, and there is no possibility at all. Under the heaven, the saint is also an ant. Imagine a man who can't even achieve the realm of chaos." How do people break free from the Dao of Heaven? This is equivalent to asking a mortal to step into the sky in one step without any tools, which completely violates the laws of the Dao, so to have is to have nothing.”

"In addition to these three methods, there is another existing method of proving the Tao, which is to take the road of body training according to the law. Today's witch clan and Chaos Demon God all follow this method."

"However, the way of law body training is to directly use the body as the universe, connect with the heaven and the earth, comprehend the law of the great way between the heaven and the earth, and imprint the power of the comprehended law on the body. "

"But on the one hand, the law is difficult to comprehend, and on the other hand, the body is difficult to bear. If you want to cultivate the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, you must first train your body to a strength that is not inferior to the innate treasure."

"The Chaos Demon God is born powerful and born in the chaos. His body is indestructible. At the same time, he also has the primordial spirit to comprehend the laws of the Dao. Therefore, it is very easy to master a Dao and cultivate into the Hunyuan Dao Fruit."

"But it is too difficult for the prehistoric creatures to prove the way according to the law. Unless the twelve ancestors and witches of the perfect state of quasi-sages unite and break through the body to the Hunyuan state, there may be hope to cultivate the Tao, otherwise it is basically impossible."

"Pin Dao cultivated the Dao of Yuanshen, so he only summed up the three methods of Yuanshen to prove Dao. The method of proving Dao according to the laws is the road of body training, and Pindao is not very proficient in it."

After Hongjun finished speaking, he began to explain the methods and tricks of condensing Hunyuan Daoguo and his own insights.After everyone got acquainted with the saint, they all listened attentively, for fear of missing a word.

In the blink of an eye, 3000 years passed. After Hongjun finished speaking, he kept silent.

When everyone thought of the immeasurable divine power of the saint, they felt itchy for a moment.Laozi asked again: "If you dare to ask your ancestors, who can become a saint?"

Hongjun was silent for a moment, then said expressionlessly: "Under the Dao of Heaven, there are eight saints."

"Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian, you three were transformed by Pangu Yuanshen, inheriting the legacy of Pangu, and should enjoy the supreme status of heaven and earth. Are you three willing to worship me as your teacher?"

The three of Lao Tzu were moved in their hearts, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "My disciple Meng Dao has passed on the Dharma, and he already has the reality of master and apprentice. Meng Dao Zu will not give up, and the disciple will pay homage to the teacher."

Hongjun nodded with a smile, and said: "There are three primordial purple qi here, and I will give it to you three, so that you can gain enlightenment and prove the status of a saint."

Sanqing took the Hongmeng Ziqi with a full face of excitement, kowtowed in thanks, and sat back on the futon amidst the envy and hatred of everyone.

Hongjun went on to say: "Nuwa, you have a great merit to do in the future, are you willing to close your disciples for me?"

The surprise came so suddenly, Empress Nuwa was stunned for a few seconds, then she knelt down on the ground under Fuxi's reminder, kowtowed excitedly to worship her teacher, and got a burst of primordial purple energy as she wished.

After Hongjun bestowed the four primordial purple qi, he shut up and stopped talking. This made the other innate gods below who thought they were qualified to be holy, all scratching their heads, hoping that the Taoist ancestor would continue to give him the foundation of sanctification.

Zhunti and Jieyin saw that the other four people on the futon got the chance to be holy, but their two brothers were empty-handed, and they couldn't care less about holding back for a while, so they hurriedly knelt down and cried, "Please Taoist ancestor take pity on me who is poor and poor in the west!" , also accept my brother as a disciple, and give us the opportunity to benefit the Western Continent."

Hongjun opened his eyes, and said calmly: "I hope you two will remember what you said. But you and I have a shallow fate, so we can only be registered disciples."

When Jieyin and Zhunti heard that there was a door, they were overjoyed.Although he is a registered disciple, he is better than outsiders, isn't he?Hurriedly and reverently, he bowed to the teacher, and his attitude was no less respectful than that of Sanqing and other direct disciples.

At that moment, Hongjun bestowed the two of them with the grand purple energy. So far, the six people sitting on the futon in front of them all received the foundation of sanctification.

This scene made Ancestor Hongyun and Ancestor Kunpeng extremely regretful, especially Ancestor Kunpeng, if he insisted on not giving up his seat at that time, the Primordial Purple Qi he received now would be his own.

Thinking of this, he hated Patriarch Hongyun who took the initiative to abdicate and persuaded himself to abdicate to die. At the same time, he even added a bit of hatred to Brother Di Jun who made a fuss and drove him down.

But the Dijun brothers didn't have the heart to pay attention to Kunpeng's thoughts at this time.At this time, six of the eight saints have gone, but among these six people, even Nuwa, who has the lowest sense of presence among the four emperors of the demon clan, has them, but they don't have their brother's share. How can this be tolerated?

Seeing that the two of them were begging and begging, and got the majestic purple energy, Di Jun didn't care about the majesty of his own emperor, and hurriedly knelt down, and shouted: "Daozu, as the emperor of heaven, the master of the prehistoric world. The credit goes to heaven and earth, and I implore Taoist ancestors to give disciples the opportunity to become saints."

Ancestor Hongjun said indifferently; "The sage holds the authority of teaching and transformation, preaching and teaching karma to the prehistoric creatures, and at the same time guides the creatures to be good, reducing the breeding of cause and effect, so as to benefit the growth and promotion of the world."

"But the way of heaven emphasizes balance, so saints should not be great, and they should not hold the authority of the order of life and criminal law."

"The emperor of heaven is the ruler of the prehistoric world. He is the greatest of heaven and earth. His duties are opposite to those of saints. He cannot hold the power of education, but only holds the order of the criminal law of heaven and earth."

"So a sage cannot be the emperor of heaven, and the emperor of heaven cannot be holy."

When Di Jun heard the words, he felt regretful and angry like five thunderbolts.Unexpectedly, the position of Emperor of Heaven that he had worked so hard to seek would become an obstacle to his sanctification at this time.

Although the position of Emperor of Heaven is good, in the Great Desolate Continent, after all, strength is the most important thing.Although he has a high status now, he can't move even the innate gods of the same level.If they can be sanctified and have immeasurable divine power, would these people still dare to be obedient?

Hongjun went on to say: "You don't have to be discouraged, the Heavenly Emperor and the Queen of Heaven are called the Great Heavenly Venerable, and they are ranked first and second in the prehistoric world. They are only stronger than saints, but not weaker. If you use them well, wait After cultivating the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, you can also mobilize the power of heaven and earth at will, with the constitution of heaven in your mouth, and follow the law in your words, and you will never be worse than a saint."

Di Jun had no choice but to kneel down and thank Daozu. At the same time, thinking about what Daozu said in his heart, he felt quite reasonable.

After all, there are many Saints, but there is only one Heavenly Emperor. It is self-evident which one is more noble.
