Chapter 33 In the Purple Cloud Palace, the Sage Asks the Question

Chapter Thirty-Three: In the Purple Cloud Palace, the Sage Asks the Question

Tongtian established the Jie Sect, but the merit of establishing the sect was withheld by the Heavenly Dao. In the end, the Great Dao warned the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao then released the merit. Tongtian used the merit of establishing the sect to refine a golden wheel of merit.

After the Jie Sect was established, Xuan Chu said to Tong Tian, ​​"Tong Tian, ​​now that you have established a great sect, you should open your doors wide and recruit disciples with excellent character and aptitude. Only in this way can you glorify the Jie Sect, promote its traditions, and prepare for the future struggle for destiny."

"Uncle? Are you really going to take on a disciple?" Tongtian was somewhat reluctant, mainly because he felt he was simply not capable of befriending a disciple.

"Nonsense!" Seeing Tongtian's appearance, Xuan Chu immediately reprimanded him, "Do you think establishing a sect is a joke? Since you have established a great sect and vowed to enlighten all living beings in the primordial world, you must carry it out to the end. Otherwise, not only will the Heavenly Dao not let you off the hook, but even the Great Dao itself will not let you go, understand?"

"Yes, Tongtian understands." Seeing that Xuan Chu was angry, Tongtian quickly said that he understood.

"That's good. I have other important matters to attend to. If you need anything in the future, you can seek help from the Twelve Ancestral Witches at Buzhou Mountain. Now you are all in the same boat, so you should help each other through thick and thin, understand?" Xuan Chu said.

"Uncle, rest assured, Tongtian knows what's important," Tongtian said.

"Hmm!" Xuan Chu nodded and said, "Very well. Now that this matter is settled, I will not linger any longer. Take care of yourself from now on!" After saying that, he left Jin'ao Island.

After Xuan Chu left, Tong Tian immediately followed Xuan Chu's wishes and announced to the prehistoric world that he would soon open his gates on Jin'ao Island to recruit disciples. Anyone who could pass his test could enter the Jie Sect.

The news of Tongtian accepting disciples caused an uproar throughout the prehistoric world. Countless cultivators flocked to the East Sea, and even some cultivators who had listened to the Dao at Zixiao Palace were unwilling to miss such an opportunity. After all, Tongtian had been incredibly powerful in the battle of the East Sea, fighting against four Heavenly Dao Saints single-handedly. As a result, one of his opponents died and three were seriously injured. Such a feat was unprecedented and unparalleled. Being able to become a disciple of such a formidable figure was a dream come true. In an instant, Jin'ao Island was filled with the atmosphere of ten thousand immortals paying homage.

In the Chaos Purple Cloud Palace, the Five Sages of Heaven gathered together. In the battle of the East Sea, the Xuanmen had lost face beyond measure. The other side had only sent one Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal and twelve Hunyuan Golden Immortals, yet they had defeated two of their so-called top Heavenly Sages of the Primordial World, resulting in three serious injuries and two deaths. How could they possibly bear this?

Upon returning to Zixiao Palace, Hongjun mobilized the power of the Heavenly Dao to heal the three seriously injured individuals: Taishang, Yuanshi, and Jieyin. However, while physical injuries were easy to heal, the emotional wounds were difficult to erase.

"Sigh..." Seeing the dazed and confused state of the group, Hongjun couldn't help but sigh, and then angrily rebuked them: "What's wrong with you? It's just a loss. I've taught you that the battle between sages is not a matter of a day or two. A temporary victory or defeat doesn't matter. Whoever laughs last is the real winner."

"Teacher, please forgive us! We have failed your teachings!" After being reprimanded by Hongjun, everyone came to their senses. However, they scoffed at Hongjun's words. What talk of temporary success or failure, what talk of just losing a game? Is this a matter of success or failure? In the battle of the East Sea, they were almost completely crushed. However, they dared not say such things in front of Hongjun.

"Alright, I know you've suffered a great blow this time. I won't blame you. Blame yourself. If I hadn't failed to tell you about the existence of the Primordial Golden Immortal, you wouldn't have lost so badly." Hongjun took the blame upon himself. This was a helpless move, after all, as the representative of the Heavenly Dao, he knew of the existence of the Primordial Golden Immortal but deliberately didn't tell them.

"Teacher, this is not your fault. If anyone is to blame, it is us who became too arrogant after becoming saints, forgetting that there are always higher heavens and more powerful people. That is why we suffered this defeat. However, teacher, in the battle of the East Sea, the strength of the Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal was clearly stronger than that of us Heavenly Dao Saints. I wonder if we have any chance to attain the Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm?" Taishang said. This was his real purpose. Now that they had witnessed the strength of the Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal, the Heavenly Dao Saints were no longer appealing to them.

Upon hearing this, the others looked at Hongjun with expectant eyes, hoping that he could give them some advice.

However, Hongjun had no choice. Theoretically, his method of severing the three corpses to become a saint could indeed lead to the status of a Primordial Golden Immortal, but it was only theoretical. After all, there were very few people in the Primordial World who could possess three innate spiritual treasures of the same origin at the same time. Moreover, after a Heavenly Dao Saint becomes a saint, his primordial spirit is entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, which makes his primordial spirit incomplete. Even if he could find three innate spiritual treasures of the same origin and successfully sever the three corpses, he would not be able to reunite the three corpses.

Seeing Hongjun's troubled expression, the group knew that there was probably no chance, but they didn't want to give up. What if Hongjun could come up with a solution?

After a long silence, Hongjun finally spoke, "Actually, it's not entirely impossible!"

"Please enlighten us, teacher!" Upon hearing that Hongjun had a solution, the group immediately perked up and hurriedly asked what the solution was.

"I was born at the beginning of the creation of the world. At that time, every cultivator who took human form aimed to become a Primordial Golden Immortal. However, throughout the endless ages, although many exceptionally talented individuals have emerged in the primordial world, such as the Beast Emperor Shen Ni and the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, their aptitude far surpasses that of ordinary people. Some of them are even beyond my reach. However, they cannot reach the Primordial Golden Immortal realm even if they dedicate their entire lives to it." Hongjun did not immediately reveal his method. Instead, he used examples such as the Beast Emperor Shen Ni and the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, who once dominated an era, to illustrate the difficulty of becoming a Primordial Golden Immortal.

However, the group did not care, especially Taishang and Yuanshi. They had personally witnessed Tongtian attain the Dao and become a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal. If Tongtian could do it, why couldn't they, who were also transformed from Pangu's primordial spirit, do the same?

Seeing that the group remained unmoved, Hongjun had no choice but to explain his solution: "Actually, the Three Corpses Method that I taught you can help you attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. However, to achieve this, you must have a complete primordial spirit. Otherwise, even if you achieve the unity of the Three Corpses, you will not be able to reach it. You are all Heavenly Dao Saints, and your primordial spirits are entrusted to the Heavenly Dao. Only by retrieving your primordial spirits from the Heavenly Dao will you have a chance. However, once you retrieve your primordial spirits, it means you will no longer be Heavenly Dao Saints and will not be immortal. At the same time, leaving your saintly position will also subject you to Heavenly Tribulation. No one can guarantee that you will survive the Heavenly Tribulation."

Hongjun was rather cunning. He didn't make it clear that the three corpses needed to be united into one, requiring three innate spiritual treasures of the same origin. Without these three treasures, the three corpses couldn't be united. Without this, Taishang and the others wouldn't dare to retrieve their primordial spirits and break away from the Heavenly Dao. This gave Taishang and the others hope while ensuring the integrity of the Heavenly Dao Saints—it was practically perfect.

As expected, after hearing Hongjun's words, everyone fell silent. After all, the Heavenly Tribulation was no joke. Even a Heavenly Saint wouldn't dare to say they could withstand it unscathed, let alone a Quasi-Saint. But since there was hope, they were willing to give it a try.

"I need more guidance from teachers!"
