Chapter 83: The Drawbacks of Hongmeng Purple Qi, The Drawbacks of Heavenly Dao Saints
The most important viewpoints among them were three.
First: Hongmeng Purple Qi is an object evolved by the Heavenly Dao to control living beings. When Hongjun gave his lecture, he once said that the limit of Saints is nine, but he only distributed seven strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi.
And nine is the extreme.
According to Hongjun's view, he is a Saint, there are six Saints under his tutelage, and another strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi could also create one Saint.
In this way, the number of Saints in the Great Desolation would reach eight, and if there were one more, the Immeasurable Calamity would arrive.
From this, it can be seen that Hongmeng Purple Qi is not a good thing; it can even be said to be a ticking time bomb.
Because of this, the second viewpoint is that Hongyun obtaining the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and even Hongyun's eventual death, were manipulated by Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao behind the scenes.
The purpose was to make that strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi disappear openly or be shattered, so that it would be impossible to gather the opportunity and possibility for nine Heavenly Dao Saints.
For example, the Three Sovereigns of the future.
They proved the Dao by gathering the luck of the Human Race and were directly at Half-Saint cultivation, but they were trapped in the Fire Cloud Cave for their entire lives and could not go out.
Combined with Hongyun's death and the shattering and disappearance of the Hongmeng Purple Qi, the Three Sovereigns likely obtained that incomplete Hongmeng Purple Qi to prove the Dao, which allowed them to surpass the Quasi-Saint boundary, but it also touched the bottom line of the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun, which is why they were completely restricted to the Fire Cloud Cave and not allowed to continue to grow stronger by enjoying the blessing of the Human Race's luck.
As for the third viewpoint, that is Houtu transforming into Samsara in the future.
Even though she had just transformed into Samsara, and even her physical body was annihilated, consuming most of her merit to condense her Primordial Spirit, Houtu still proved the Dao and became a Saint.
But one must know that at that time, Houtu only had the cultivation of a Saint early stage, yet strangely, she relied on her own strength to master the entire Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Underworld, and the interests of the Netherworld.
Even the Six Saints participated in it, but in the end, they only obtained positions like the Ten Yama Kings and Judges, possessing law enforcement power within the Underworld but no ownership.
If the Saint does not die, the great thieves will not stop.
With the greed of a Saint, how could they abandon the core of the entire Netherworld and the Six Paths of Reincarnation?
But the Six Saints at that time just couldn't do it, and it was only when Hongjun personally came forward that he obtained Houtu's promise not to leave the Netherworld.
From this, it can be seen how powerful Mother Houtu, who did not use Hongmeng Purple Qi to prove the Dao and become a Saint, was; even the Six Saints working together could not suppress her.
In this way, the drawbacks of Hongmeng Purple Qi seem to be clear at a glance.
"What does Fellow Daoist mean by this?"
Frowning, Tongtian Jiaozhu's face turned ugly.
As a Saint.
How could he not know that the Saint Realm is also known as the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.
Precisely because he knew, the words of the Chaos Spiritual Root made him uncomfortable, and he even vaguely felt uneasy and that something was wrong.
He is now at the Saint mid-stage cultivation, but according to the other party, he is not even half of a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal. What does this mean? Doesn't it mean that his Saint status is full of water, and even...
"Sigh~"
Sighing, the Chaos Spiritual Root seemed to think of something and said: "Perhaps this is the weakening after Pangu opened the heavens and split the earth!"
"Although I don't know the specifics of the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal of this era, compared to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal of the Chaos era, it is indeed too much worse. Even I can contend with you now, but I cannot take human form, cannot truly advance to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm~"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place was silent.
Tongtian Jiaozhu stood on the spot, his expression changing, and his inner thoughts turning constantly.
Lin Fan was even more certain of his guess, and his heart was also filled with lingering fear, secretly saying: "Sure enough, the water in the Great Desolation is very deep, and I, in my small True Immortal realm, cannot grasp it."
"On the path of survival, I still need to comprehend carefully."
"Stay steady, don't be reckless, first set a small goal: become a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal!"
Looking at the twelve Ancestral Witches, they were staring at the Chaos Spiritual Root in a daze.
If they hadn't heard it with their own ears, they would have almost suspected that they had fallen into an illusion.
It was just a spiritual root, yet it dared to boast that it could rival a Saint, and it seemed that Tongtian Jiaozhu hadn't refuted it. This was simply... unbelievable.
Immediately after, the twelve Ancestral Witches became excited.
No matter what the specific situation was, at least one thing was certain.
That was that this spiritual root was indeed very strong and very terrifying.
If they, the Ancestral Witches, could get its guidance, could they also reach the stage it was at? Even without Hongmeng Purple Qi, without a Primordial Spirit, and unable to prove the Dao and become a Saint, could they still master combat power rivaling a Saint?
Although they had the Twelve Capital Divine Array, they could summon a Pangu physical body comparable to the Quasi-Saint late stage.
But that was the result of the twelve Ancestral Witches working together; who wouldn't want their own personal strength to go to the next level?
"Many thanks to Fellow Daoist for clearing up my confusion!"
After a long time, Tongtian Jiaozhu regained his senses, cupped his hands in a salute to the Chaos Spiritual Root, and then said: "I believe Fellow Daoist also knows our goal for coming here this time."
"I won't beat around the bush; I just want to know if you have any Pangu inheritance here, or Pangu relics left behind!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Fan and the twelve Ancestral Witches were energized.
Regardless of thinking about anything else, they all raised their heads and looked at the Chaos Spiritual Root, waiting for its answer.
After all, the matter of Pangu inheritance and relics was their previous guess and inference; to be honest, they didn't know or understand the specific situation.
"Yes!"
Facing the inquiry, the Chaos Spiritual Root answered calmly: "The Pangu Hall is transformed from Pangu's head, and we spiritual roots were also collected by him in his sea of consciousness in the past. The world we are in now is transformed from Pangu's sea of consciousness, but it has shrunk tens of thousands of times; otherwise, it should have been able to reach the level of the Great Desolate World."
"However, although we have Pangu inheritance and relics in our hands, they need to be obtained by Pangu descendants who pass the test. Besides that, others cannot touch them, and there is no possibility of obtaining them."
Speaking of this, that pair of dark green flames jumped a few times, a divine sense swept across the audience, and then continued: "Now there are only three who are qualified to participate in the assessment, namely you, Fellow Daoist, and the two little guys over there who have mastered the Laws of Space and Time."
"As for the others, their strength is too weak, their bloodline concentration is insufficient, and they are not qualified to accept the test!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place was silent.
Tongtian Jiaozhu was fine; he had vaguely felt that something was wrong.
But the other Ancestral Witches were broken.
Except for Dijiang and Zhujiuyin, the other Ancestral Witches like Qiangliang all had faces as cold as frost, as if they had been slapped hard.
Weak strength, insufficient bloodline.
This simple sentence was simply the greatest insult to them.
But the guy who said this sentence was too strong, completely beyond their ability to contend with, and now they didn't dare to have any refutation! ===== CHAPTER 84 =====
