Chapter 315: Chapter 315: Choosing the Saint
“It is decided then!”
Yang i Ancestor took a deep breath, and once Ren Changsheng finished his lecture on the Dao, he spoke these words to Ren Changsheng. From now on, even if Ren Changsheng wishes to send him away, he will not leave.
He was relying on Ren Changsheng now.
You see,
Ever since he encountered Ren Changsheng, he had received nine streams of the Hongng Purple Qi and countless rits, resolving all the conundrums that had plagued him for millions of years!
“Silence!”
With a wave of his hand, Ren Changsheng hushed the multitude of mighty ones, all of who were looking at him with reverence in their eyes.
Luo Hou.
Di Jun…
Such invincible powerhouses among the ancient Quasi-Saints were now looking at Ren Changsheng with faces filled with anticipation. How exactly is the path to sainthood?
When Hong Jun Dao Zu lectured at Zixiao Palace in the past, although it was also a lecture on Dao, he never ntioned anything about achieving sainthood, as if he feared the thought of everyone becoming Saints.
But Ren Changsheng, on the other hand, directly shared the thod to attain sainthood.
Comparing the two,
Ren Changsheng is the true Ancestor of Dao.
Within Zixiao Palace.
“This daring soul, to actually speak of the thod to attain sainthood, could it be he is not aware that Saints are preordained by the heavens?” said Daode Tianzun angrily.
Sect Hierarch Tong Tian and Yuanshi Tianzun also had sowhat gloomy expressions, but Nuwa and the other two, Jieyin and Na Zha, had a glint flickering in their eyes.
The status of Saints is preordained by heaven.
Then how did Ren Changsheng beco a Saint? Could it also be preordained by heaven? Especially Nuwa, who knew clearly that the phrase ‘preordained by heaven’ was nothing more than soone’s word!
“What nonsense about a thod to sainthood, absurd!”
Hong Jun Dao Zu waved his hand, casting a spell that enshrouded Zixiao Palace. Daode Tianzun and the others wanted to observe what was happening on Mount Tai, but now they could no longer see anything.
“So narrow-minded!”
Nuwa thought to herself, Dao Zu’s mind was too narrow, not even allowing them to glance at the Emperor’s lecture on Dao.
Atop Mount Tai.
“The so-called thod to attain sainthood essentially divides into two paths, one is preordained by heaven, the other is man-made,” said Ren Changsheng, speaking enigmatically.
“Preordained Saints!”
Di Jun and Luo Hou’s eyes sparkled, of course, they understood what a preordained Saint was. Pan Gu, The Three Pure Ones, and the others like them beca Saints as preordained by heaven, but could man-made efforts also produce Saints?
Man-made Saints?
Could it be possible!
“What’s called preordained is the choosing of individuals by the Heavenly Dao, who then receive the gift of the Hongng Purple Qi and the opportunity for sainthood. Given ti, they will inevitably beco Saints, but such Saints are almost always those of virtue and destiny, for whom the realm of sainthood is their limit. They should not even dream of surpassing it to the level of the Great Taoist Saint!”
Ren Changsheng’s voice rang out once more.
“May I ask the Emperor, how are Saints categorized?”
Master Zhenyuan stepped forward and eagerly asked.
He had heard lectures in the Zixiao Palace before, but never about the thod of achieving sainthood. Now, hearing Ren Changsheng speak thus, he couldn’t help but feel agitated.
“Good question, my friend. Saints are divided into four major realms: the common Saints who achieve their status through virtue and destiny are the lowest; above them are the Saints of the Heavenly Dao, then Chaos Saints, and lastly the Great Taoist Saints!”
Ren Changsheng said indifferently.
“Good heavens, are there so many distinctions among Saints?”
Many mighty figures beca restless, thinking that Saints were an invincible existence, only to realize that even Saints have classifications!
Even Saints, it turns out, have things they fear!
“May I ask you, Human Emperor, what realm does your current cultivation reside in?”
Kong Xuan stepped forward and asked.
“By the virtue of strength, I have proven the way, and I am currently in the mid-stage of the Saint realm, still a long way from the Heavenly Dao Saint. However, very soon, I shall prove the way of the Heavenly Dao Saint!”
Ren Changsheng responded with a light chuckle.
“Human Emperor has beco a Saint not long ago, and to think that you have already reached the mid-stage of the Saint realm. Given so ti, becoming a Heavenly Dao Saint seems not too hard for you!”
“Didn’t you hear the Human Emperor say ‘very soon’?”
“That is…”
…
The crowd began to discuss amongst themselves.
At Mount Tai, Ren Changsheng’s teachings were much more relaxed than those of Yang i Ancestor. Whatever questions these people asked, Ren Changsheng answered directly.
“Dare I ask, Human Emperor, how does one achieve sainthood as a human?”
A deep voice echoed, and at this mont, Luo Hou couldn’t help but stand up. He was one of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, but alas, he had yet to beco a Saint. Moreover, he could only dwell beneath the damaged Spirit Vein in the west, biding his ti and daring not to co forth.
“What is ant by human effort…”
Ren Changsheng glanced at Luo Hou and Di Jun, considering that in this primordial world, these two were the only ones who could prove the way through strength.
But unfortunately.
Di Jun was too impatient, was played by Hong Jun, and the demon clan almost perished entirely. Luo Hou originally had the opportunity to prove the way through strength, but he too was calculated by Hong Jun. Before becoming a Saint, Hong Jun shattered his physical body, and he was severely injured, hiding beneath the Spirit Vein.
“What is called human effort, is to break free from the binds of the Heavenly Dao, to prove the way through strength. Such Saints do not need opportunity, nor do they need heaven’s decree!”
“Everything speaks through the fist!”
“Whoever doesn’t let you beco a Saint, you obliterate them. If heaven doesn’t allow you to beco a Saint, then you shatter the heavens. This is what human effort ans!”
Ren Changsheng’s arrogant voice echoed at the summit of Mount Tai.
“Proving the way through strength, speaking with the fist!”
Luo Hou and Di Jun were deeply moved in their hearts. This is what a true Saint is. As for those Saints determined by heaven, frankly, they are but pawns of the Heavenly Dao.
Used to stabilize the Heavenly Dao.
“What I am going to speak about today, is proving the way through strength. As for the thod of becoming a Saint as determined by heaven, it relies on chance, and it’s useless to speak to you of it!”
Ren Changsheng said with a faint smile before starting his teachings.
“Proving the way through strength!”
Behind Ren Changsheng, Yang i Ancestor sighed. The quality of Ren Changsheng’s teaching this ti was truly high – even he dared not speak of proving the way through strength.
But how many of these people could understand, that was unknown. Without question, Ren Changsheng’s teachings left them with possibilities; in ti, there might erge more beings in the primordial world who could prove the way through strength.
“It has begun!”
Luo Hou, Di Jun, and others imdiately sat down cross-legged, listening attentively to Ren Changsheng’s teachings. Proving the way through strength was their hope as well.
“Outside of the heavens, chaos extends, vast and unknowable in size…”
Ren Changsheng began to teach, and at this mont, the power of rit descended one after another from the void. At this ti, the Heavenly Dao seed to greatly favor Ren Changsheng.
Among the disciples of the Human Emperor’s Palace.
Nearly all had reached the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm. Although Di Sha and the other two were Quasi-Saints, they were already comparable to rit Saints now.
Ti.
Slowly passed.
Three years of teaching, most of it done by Yang i Ancestor, and in the remaining few hours, Ren Changsheng simply provided an awakening to these people.
He pointed out a way, the path of proving the way through strength. As for who among them could prove the way through strength, Ren Changsheng could not be bothered to care.
The teaching, slowly ca to an end.
“Thank you, Human Emperor!”
At this mont, Di Jun and Luo Hou knelt on the ground and saluted towards Ren Changsheng. The last few hours of Ren Changsheng’s teachings had been too significant for them.
