SEC Chapter 564 Utter Envy! Haotian Attains Sainthood!
Chapter 564 Utter Envy! Haotian Attains Sainthood!
At the same time, many powerful beings in the primordial world also sensed the unusual situation in the celestial realm.
"Is this... Haotian about to attain sainthood?"
"Such powerful holy might!"
"A new sage is about to be born in the primordial world."
"..."
Many powerful figures sighed with envy.
In the Netherworld, beneath the eighteen levels of hell, above a sea of blood, the Styx Ancestor appeared.
"Haotian... is about to attain enlightenment!"
The Styx Ancestor looked on with a sigh.
You should know that he is only one step away from becoming a saint.
But this one step is something I just can't seem to get past.
With a sigh of regret, the Styx Ancestor muttered hesitantly:
"I wonder if I, the ancestor, will ever have the chance to become a saint in this lifetime?"
……
Meanwhile, in the eighteen levels of hell.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva slowly opened his eyes.
Although he came from the Western religion, when Niu Ben was establishing the Underworld, he was able to enter the eighteenth level of Hell through the intervention of the two great saints, Jieyin and Zhunti.
"Such a saintly aura...it means that Haotian is about to attain sainthood!"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva slightly raised his eyes and looked towards the location of the Heavenly Court.
Previously, in the great battle against the Xuanhuang Realm, Ksitigarbha's accumulated battle merits were only slightly less than Haotian's.
Finally, Dao Ancestor Hongjun bestowed the position of Sage Dao Fruit upon Haotian.
"Whoosh!"
After a moment's thought, Ksitigarbha took a deep breath and suppressed his inner turmoil.
"I previously failed to attain the sage's fruition, simply because the time was not yet ripe."
Ksitigarbha sighed inwardly, then composed himself and stopped thinking about it.
……
The sacred land of the human race, within the realm of the Human Emperor.
"Um?"
"Such an aura, from the Celestial Realm?"
"It seems that Haotian is about to attain sainthood!"
Zhen Yuanzi looked shocked, his eyes burning with fervor as he gazed at the Heavenly Realm.
Prior to the great war with the Devouring Universe Realm, he had been invited by Huang Tian to join the human race.
For countless years afterward, Zhen Yuanzi diligently cultivated, naturally hoping to one day attain sainthood.
Unfortunately, like the Styx Ancestor, he was also stuck at the last step.
"Humans can now be considered the masters of the primordial land."
"Logically speaking, shouldn't a sage be needed to oversee this?"
Zhen Yuanzi muttered to himself, then gave a bitter smile, wondering where his chance to become a saint lay.
……
The Western religion, located within a sacred mountain.
"Um?"
"This aura... it means Haotian is about to become a saint!"
Kunpeng snapped out of his cultivation, his gaze sharpening as he looked directly toward the Heavenly Court.
"hateful!"
"This...this Haotian is about to become a saint."
When will I be able to reach the level of a sage?
The thought of Haotian's impending attainment of sainthood filled Kunpeng with resentment.
It should be noted that he had already advanced to the level of a sub-saint after creating the demonic script, which was infinitely close to becoming a saint.
Subsequently, he left the demon race and joined the Western Sect, becoming the third Buddha of the Western Sect and enjoying the sect's fortune.
Even so, it still didn't allow him to reach the level of a saint.
"Is it... because there's no Primordial Purple Qi?"
"How wonderful it would be to obtain a Saint's Crystal!"
Kunpeng murmured softly.
In his view, if he wanted to become a saint, he either needed to obtain the Primordial Purple Qi, the foundation for sainthood, or he needed to obtain a Saint Crystal.
"The primordial purple energy that Hongyun possessed back then is very likely on Niu Ben's body."
"If I were to beg him, would he give me that wisp of primordial purple energy?"
"That's highly unlikely!"
"..."
For a moment, Kunpeng's thoughts became complicated.
Back when he was still a demon master, he led a group of demon gods to intercept and kill Hongyun.
Their purpose, of course, was to obtain the Primordial Purple Qi from Hongyun's body.
Unfortunately, too many changes occurred during that struggle.
First, the two demon emperors, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, appeared, also wanting the Primordial Purple Qi.
Under duress, Hongyun chose to self-destruct, and the primordial purple energy within his body became ownerless.
Subsequently, the Styx Ancestor appeared, attempting to seize the Primordial Purple Qi.
Unexpectedly, the incarnation of the Sage Zhunti appeared and directly blocked the Styx Ancestor.
Then, the incarnation of the Sage of Heaven also descended.
Then, the two saints incarnated and made their move to determine the final ownership of the Primordial Purple Qi.
Originally, everyone thought that the ownership of the Primordial Purple Qi would be decided between Zhunti and Tongtian.
Unexpectedly, at the crucial moment, a gigantic black tortoise tore through the void and swallowed the wisp of primordial purple energy in one gulp.
Since then, the Xuan Turtle and the Primordial Purple Qi have disappeared without a trace.
Until the Lich War, Mount Buzhou collapsed, causing a gap in the sky.
Even though the sage Nuwa refined five-colored divine stones to mend the gap in the sky, it still could not stop the sky from collapsing.
At the crucial moment, Niu Ben appeared, along with an enormous black tortoise.
Niu Ben cut off the four legs of the Xuan Turtle and erected four pillars, which helped to restore the Primordial Heaven.
In Kunpeng's view, since Niu Ben was able to kill the Xuan Turtle, the wisp of Primordial Purple Qi that was swallowed by the Xuan Turtle must also be on Niu Ben's body.
"call……"
After pondering for a while, Kunpeng let out a long breath, shook his head, and said:
"The Niu Ben of today is no longer the unknown little calf of the Niu clan it once was."
"Even if a sage were to beg him, I doubt he would give up that wisp of Primordial Purple Qi."
As he spoke, Kunpeng shook his head and sighed helplessly.
He knew very well that with Niu Ben's current status and strength in the prehistoric world, he wouldn't take him seriously at all.
"That's enough!"
"Let's find another opportunity later!"
Kunpeng sighed, then forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart.
……
Just as many powerful beings were in shock.
In the Heavenly Court, a figure soared upwards from its depths.
Soon, the figure revealed its true form; who else could it be but Haotian, the ruler of the Heavenly Court?
At this moment, Haotian was in high spirits, his imperial robes fluttering in the wind.
Upon appearing, Haotian directly proclaimed to the Primordial World:
"I, Haotian, have endured countless tribulations and attained sainthood!"
"From this day forward, I will wield heavenly punishment, establish heavenly rules, and protect all living beings, eternally unbreakable!"
"From this day forward, all living beings of the primordial world shall follow the will of Heaven; those who defy Heaven shall be punished!"
"Heaven and Earth bear witness!"
As Haotian's announcement was made, his aura began to rise rapidly.
"boom!"
Then, his cultivation level broke through the shackles at the Quasi-Saint level and leaped to the Saint level.
Upon sensing the aura of a sage emanating from Haotian, the entire Heavenly Court erupted in excitement.
"His Majesty has attained enlightenment! His Majesty has attained enlightenment!"
"A sage! Heaven finally has its own sage!"
"Very good!"
"From this day forward, our Heavenly Court will also have a sage presiding over it!"
"Your Majesty's divine might!"
"..."
Countless heavenly soldiers, generals, officials, and fairies were so excited that they all knelt down and wept with joy.
