The first of these three conditions was to have the Primordial Violet Qi. Only by obtaining the Primordial Violet Qi could one obtain the approval of the Great Way and have a chance to become a Sage!
Fortunately, Gu Han had obtained a strand of Primordial Purple Aura a long time ago. This strand of Primordial Purple Aura had been given to Gu Han by Fleeting Maple … Even now, Gu Han still did not understand why Fleeting Maple, who had come from another dimension, had obtained Primordial Purple Aura from the Origin World and had given it to him so generously.
Although he did not understand this, he did not bother thinking about it. Anyway, the Primordial Violet Qi in Guhan's body was genuine Primordial Violet Qi, and that was enough.
The second condition was that Guhan had to master the method of splitting consciousness fragments, which Guhan had already done. Moreover, Guhan had hundreds of millions of consciousness fragments. This requirement could not be more perfect for Guhan.
The third condition was that Guhan had to obtain the remains of Pangu. The so-called remains of Pangu actually referred to Pangu's corpse … and it could not be an ordinary corpse, but a corpse that had condensed Pangu's life essence.
This was because the main world was in a state of chaos. It was Pangu who gave birth to the Great Way and created the world. In other words, Pangu was the source of all things and powers in this world, and the Great Way itself was born from Pangu's body.
To become a Sage under the Great Way, one had to obtain Pangu's remains and become one with the Great Way in order to become a Sage.
Back then, Sage Hongjun obtained Pangu's Primordial Elixir, which was the Jade Butterfly of Fate, and became a Sage.
Taishang Laojun, Tongtian, and Yuanshi Tianzun were originally the incarnation of Pangu's primordial spirit. They themselves were Pangu's remains, so this problem was not a problem for them at all.
Sage Zhunti and Sage Jiyin became Sages because they obtained Pangu's weapon, Pangu's Axe, and the Bodhi Tree, which was transformed from Pangu's wisdom.
As for Goddess Nüwo, she and her brother Fuxi were innate gods that were born before Pangu created the world. They shared the same origin as Pangu, but Pangu grew the fastest and achieved the mission of creating the world.
Goddess Nüwo and Fuxi had only awakened after Pangu's creation of the world. However, because they shared the same origin as Pangu, they later obtained the Living Soil of the Nine Heavens, which was transformed from Pangu's essence, and finally became Saints.
And now, it was Guhan's turn … Pan Gu had been dead for god knows how many years, and the remains of Pan Gu had long been divided up by those who intended to become saints. How could there be any remains left for Guhan?
Theoretically, Guhan couldn't find Pan Gu's body even if he spent his entire life searching.
But as the saying goes, fortune lies in the midst of misfortune.
Right now, the best set of Pangu's remains was right in front of Flowing Maple!
He believed that everyone understood by now that this set of Pangu's remains was none other than the arrogant and despotic 12 Zu Wu, who had been hunting humans everywhere.
The 12 Zu Wu were formed from Pangu's blood essence, and their entire bodies were Pangu's remains. They were born in the same way as the Three Pure Ones of Taoism.
However, the 12 Zu Wu were not intelligent enough, and could never become saints in their entire lives. They became the only way for Guhan to fulfill the last requirement … This did not conflict with Guhan's original goal. Guhan originally wanted to kill the 12 Zu Wu.
But now, he had another goal, and that was to refine the 12 Zu Wu's blood essence to fulfill the last requirement to become a saint.
After all three requirements were fulfilled, Guhan could choose one of the three ways to become a saint to prove his Dao.
Among the three ways, the first was to prove his Dao through strength.
As the name implied, this method was to continuously accumulate one's strength until it reached the level of a saint. Then, one could defeat the Heavenly Dao and directly reach the Great Dao to become a saint.
The second method was to achieve the Dao by severing the Three Corpses, which was to sever good, evil, and one's self so that the Heavenly Dao could not monitor one's existence. Finally, one could reach the Great Dao and become a saint.
The third method was to become a saint through virtue. By accumulating unparalleled virtue, one could obtain the recognition of the Heavenly Dao and let the Heavenly Dao take the initiative to allow one to reach the Great Dao and become a saint.
This might sound a bit confusing, but let's use a simple analogy.
First, one had to understand that the supreme thing in the world was the Great Dao. The Great Dao controlled the operation of all things. Whether it was the Origin World or the Dimensional World, it controlled the order and rules of all worlds.
If one wanted to surpass the Emperor's Sword and reach the realm of a saint, one had to obtain the recognition of the Great Dao and obtain the understanding of the order and rules of the Great Dao to become a saint.
The Heavenly Dao was the incarnation that the Great Dao directly used to control different worlds. It was equivalent to the son of the Great Dao. Every world had its own Heavenly Dao. There were as many Heavenly Dao as there were different Dimensional Worlds.
The Great Dao was not something that one could see just because one wanted to. The Great Dao was extremely mysterious. It drifted away from all worlds and one could not find it even if one wore out iron shoes. The only way to find the Great Dao was through the Heavenly Dao. This was the only way to communicate with the Great Dao.
The Great Dao was like a general sitting steadily in the central military tent, while the Heavenly Dao was like a soldier guarding the entrance of the central military tent.
Among the three methods to become a saint mentioned previously, the Dao by Strength was to use one's own strength to directly defeat the soldier guarding the entrance of the central military tent. Then, one could openly enter the central military tent to meet the general.
The Dao by Severing the Three Corpses to become a saint was to find a way to make oneself invisible and hide from the eyes of the soldier guarding outside the central military tent. Then, one could sneak into the central military tent to meet the general.
The Dao by Virtue was to bribe the soldier with a large amount of bribes. Finally, the soldier would take the initiative to step aside and let one in.
From this, it could be seen that in terms of difficulty, the Dao by Strength was naturally the most difficult. The Dao by Severing the Three Corpses was slightly less difficult, and the Dao by Virtue was the easiest.
So far, no one had been able to walk the path of Dao by Strength. In other words, no one had become a saint through the method of Dao by Strength.
As for Hong Jun, Taishang Laojun, and Jie Yin, the three of them achieved the position of a saint through the method of Severing the Three Corpses to become a saint. As for Goddess Nvywa, Saint Zhun Ti, as well as the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi and Sect Leader Tongtian, they all achieved the position of a saint through the method of Merit.
Among them, Goddess Nvywa became a saint by relying on the merits of human beings, Saint Zhun Ti became a saint by relying on the merits of establishing Buddhism, and the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi established the Chan Sect with the help of Taishang Laojun. At the same time, he educated human beings through the Chan Sect, which was to teach human beings the merits of cultivating to become immortals.
As for Sect Leader Tongtian, he did the opposite. He relied on teaching non-human creatures and accumulated merits to become a saint.
In fact, in terms of merits, Goddess Nvywa's merits were the highest. She created humans and mended the sky. Her merits were boundless. In the end, Goddess Nvywa was the weakest among the saints.
The merits of Sect Leader Tongtian and the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi were actually far inferior to Goddess Nvywa. However, Sect Leader Tongtian and the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi were too heaven-defying. They were formed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit and were born with the great merits of Pangu's creation of the world. They were only a step away from becoming a saint.
As a result, after becoming a saint, the strength of Sect Leader Tongtian and the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi was actually above Goddess Nvywa and Saint Zhun Ti. This was the benefit of having a powerful father.
[PS: Regarding the theory of becoming a saint, first of all, I have to thank the great creator of Dreaming of Divine Armaments. I'm just copying from others.
However, Primordial Chaos was formed by the power of many later authors. Various sayings and settings of becoming a saint are only self-justifying under a certain framework.
Therefore, I hope that all the readers will not use the settings in other novels to criticize the author for being wrong or the settings are wrong.
Of course, it's your right to say it, but it's my right to turn a blind eye to it!]
…
As for the current Guhan, he had read these three methods over and over again several times. However, he felt that none of them were suitable for him because the Heavenly Axiom no longer existed.
Yes, you're right. The Heavenly Axiom no longer existed.
In order to surpass the saints and reach an unprecedented height, Hong Jun decided to integrate himself with the Heavenly Axiom. In other words, he used his own body to integrate with the Heavenly Axiom and then completely control the Heavenly Axiom. As long as he controlled the Heavenly Axiom, Hong Jun would be able to surpass the saints … This was not based on any previous experience. It was completely guessed by Hong Jun himself after tens of millions of years.
As a result, Hong Jun was indeed a genius of his generation. He actually gradually integrated himself with the Heavenly Axiom. This was why Hong Jun had the strength to crush any saints.
However, no one knew why Hong Jun died. He was killed by Sect Leader Tongtian.
When Hong Jun died, the result was that the Heavenly Axiom, which had gradually integrated with Hong Jun, also died … However, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. The Heavenly Axiom died, but it did not immediately collapse. Instead, it began to gradually disintegrate. This led to tragedies such as the sinking of China.
Later, the saints also realized that there was a big problem with the Heavenly Axiom. However, the saints did not dare to imagine the fact that the Heavenly Axiom had died. They thought that there was something wrong with Hong Jun's cultivation. Therefore, they wanted to see their master and simply went to visit him. However, they were ambushed by the scheming Sect Leader Tongtian.
The battles that happened later that affected all the Dimensional Worlds accelerated the collapse of the Heavenly Axiom. Today, 1,000 years later, the Heavenly Axiom was completely finished. The Main World had completely lost the control of the Heavenly Axiom like a motherless child.
Otherwise, no matter how great the remaining power of Sect Leader Tongtian was, it was impossible for him to open the Dimensional Wall of the Main World so wantonly and let Yuan Kou enter the Main World.
If this happened millions of years ago in the Untainted Land where people worshiped the Heavenly Axiom, it would definitely scare many people to death. However, Guhan, who was born in modern times, had just heard the word "Heavenly Axiom". Before that, he did not know or care about the Heavenly Axiom. Even if he knew that the Heavenly Axiom no longer existed, his emotions did not change.
For people in the Untainted Land, the death of the Heavenly Axiom was like the death of their mother.
For Guhan, the death of the Heavenly Axiom was like the death of their next-door neighbor, even if the next-door neighbor was their biological mother.
However, a biological mother was a biological mother after all. Therefore, in the face of the current situation, Guhan felt troubled. To become a Saint, one had to pass the Heavenly Axiom. However, now that the Heavenly Axiom was finished, where should Guhan find a new Heavenly Axiom? This seemed to have become an unsolvable problem.
