Chapter 663: The States of the Six Saints! The Mysterious Saint Taishang

What needed to be shown has been shown; there's no need to hide the purpose anymore.

"So you came to Nüwa Palace to ask me to join you in opposing Ancestor Hongjun? Then you've come to the wrong place…"

Since Luo Fu's goal is to oppose Ancestor Hongjun, from Pingxin Niangniang's perspective, his reason for coming to Nüwa Palace is now obvious.

To persuade her to join him in opposing Ancestor Hongjun.

Pingxin Niangniang greatly admired Luo Fu for accomplishing so many impossible feats, and she fully supported his decision to break the seal of Huoyun Cave.

Had it been possible, Pingxin Niangniang would have shattered the seal of Huoyun Cave long ago.

From the very beginning, Pingxin Niangniang had resented Ancestor Hongjun for imprisoning Emperor Fu Xi in Huoyun Cave.

Unfortunately, she could not resist Ancestor Hongjun.

Therefore, Pingxin Niangniang could only choose to refuse Luo Fu's purpose in coming to Nüwa Palace.

Yet before Pingxin Niangniang could speak, Luo Fu interrupted her.

"I came to Nüwa Palace for two reasons: first, Emperor Fu Xi gave me a token and asked me to come here; second, I wish to confirm the current states of you other Saints."

"Confirm our states? It seems you know us well. Then again, if you didn't know these secrets, you wouldn't dare directly oppose Ancestor Hongjun."

After a brief moment of surprise, Pingxin Niangniang recovered.

She had confirmed that Luo Fu must have an astonishing origin and knew the many hidden truths of the Primordial World extremely well.

Otherwise, there was no way to explain why he chose to revive Daoist Yuan Feng, Ancestor Zu Long, and Beginning Qilin to gather cosmic fortune and consolidate the position of a Human Saint.

Nor could it explain why he had the confidence to oppose Ancestor Hongjun.

"My current state is still acceptable. Over these years, I've rarely used Heavenly Dao power, striving to peel away its influence."

Without further words, Pingxin Niangniang directly informed Luo Fu of her current state.

"But we are ultimately Heavenly Dao Saints; our entire power comes from the Heavenly Dao, and we cannot possibly resist it. So I cannot help you oppose the Heavenly Dao."

As she spoke these words, Pingxin Niangniang could not help but sigh.

Everyone says Saints tower above all, ruling over all life—but who knows that the Saintly position is merely a cage, and the Saints themselves are but puppets?

Below the Saints, all are ants.

To the Heavenly Dao, what are Saints but ants?

Should the Heavenly Dao wish it, a single thought could strip a Saint of their position.

Strip away the Saintly title, and a Saint is inferior even to an ordinary Peak Saint.

For a Peak Saint still has a chance to attain the Primordial Dao; but a Saint is eternally bound by the Heavenly Dao's restrictions.

If she could relive her life, Pingxin Niangniang would never choose to become a Saint.

"Hmm, roughly what I suspected. Do you know the states of the other Saints?"

Luo Fu nodded slightly, indicating he understood, then asked again about the states of the other Saints.

"The other Saints?"

After a brief pause, Pingxin Niangniang continued:

"The two Western Saints are confirmed to be deeply influenced by the Heavenly Dao, nearly turned into puppets. As for Master Yuanshi, I'm unsure—he's probably much like me."

"Saint Tongtian has long tried to break free from the Heavenly Dao; that's precisely why Ancestor Hongjun suppressed him. Given Saint Tongtian's nature, he would never compromise with the Heavenly Dao—his state must be far better than mine."

"As for Saint Taishang, his strength has always been a mystery. I even suspect he may have already broken free from the Heavenly Dao—but I also find that hard to believe."

Pingxin Niangniang told Luo Fu everything she had deduced about the other five Saints.

"Saint Taishang?"

After hearing Pingxin Niangniang's deductions, Luo Fu was slightly surprised.

The state of the two Western Saints required no deduction—they were deeply entangled with the Heavenly Dao.

After all, they attained their Sainthood by borrowing power from the Heavenly Dao.

Once you borrow from the Heavenly Dao, you can never escape its control.

Master Yuanshi's state was no surprise either; as one of the Three Pure Ones, his Dao has always aligned with the Heavenly Dao, but he would never sink to the level of a puppet like the Western Saints.

Saint Tongtian, of course, needed no explanation—Luo Fu understood him best. Tongtian was never one to accept fate; his very Dao was defiance of Heaven.

To cut a thread of cosmic fate—isn't that precisely defiance of Heaven?

For the Jie Sect, he was even willing to destroy the Primordial World.

Such a man would rather die than become a puppet of the Heavenly Dao.

The only one who surprised Luo Fu was Saint Taishang.

Luo Fu had never expected Pingxin Niangniang to hold such a high opinion of Saint Taishang.

She actually believed Saint Taishang might have already broken free from the Heavenly Dao's control.

But that was the Heavenly Dao—the supreme ruler of the Primordial World. How could it possibly allow anyone to escape its control?

Yet, upon deeper reflection, it wasn't impossible.

After all, Saint Taishang was far too mysterious—he was unquestionably the most inscrutable of the Six Saints.

Perhaps, over these years, Saint Taishang's seclusion was precisely to break free from the Heavenly Dao's chains.

"I understand. It matches my suspicions. Now I have even greater confidence in confronting Ancestor Hongjun."

Suppressing his thoughts on Saint Taishang, Luo Fu spoke again, his tone brimming with confidence.

"Luo Fu, Ancestor Hongjun is no ordinary figure. He has ruled the Primordial World for so long—he must have countless hidden cards. You must think carefully."

Though Luo Fu had accomplished many near-impossible feats, Pingxin Niangniang still harbored deep concerns.

Deep inside, she still did not truly believe Luo Fu could resist Ancestor Hongjun.

Ancestor Hongjun had ruled the Primordial World for so long—he must possess countless hidden cards.

The Six Saints might well be the least important of his cards.

After all, Ancestor Hongjun has always understood the thoughts of the Six Saints perfectly.

With Ancestor Hongjun's wisdom, how could he possibly treat the Six Sages as his trump card when they were not united with him?

Yet, compared to Ancestor Hongjun, Luo Fu was equally mysterious, equally unfathomable.

The plan he proposed appeared highly feasible and well-developed, which is why Pingxin Niangniang did not directly urge Luo Fu to abandon his resistance against Ancestor Hongjun.
