Chapter 559 The Foundation to Sainthood! Haotian is bestowed the Dao Fruit of Sainthood!
Besides, all the great sages secretly made their own guesses.
They pondered who was most likely to attain the saintly Dao fruit.
"Disciple, who do you think it could be?"
The Supreme Sage turned his gaze and looked at Niu Ben with a meaningful expression.
Niu Ben remained calm and said indifferently:
"have no idea."
"But no matter who becomes a saint, the格局 (geju, a concept encompassing the overall structure and overall situation) of the primordial world will be changed once again."
The Supreme Sage nodded in agreement with what Niu Ben said.
After all, that is the Dao Fruit of a Saint. Its distribution means that the primordial world will welcome a new Saint.
"Could it be Ksitigarbha?"
Sage Zhunti muttered something slightly nervously and glanced at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva not far away beside him.
After all, in the previous great battle with the Xuanhuang Realm, Dizang had killed quite a few quasi-saints from the Xuanhuang Realm here.
The Sage who guided the way glanced at the man slightly but remained silent.
In his view, the two most likely candidates to be granted the Dao fruit of sainthood are Haotian and Ksitigarbha.
Of course, in the heart of the sage who guides us, we hope that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva of the Western Paradise will attain the fruit of sainthood.
"In my opinion, His Majesty Haotian is the most qualified!"
Just then, a quasi-saint from the Heavenly Court spoke out loudly:
"His Majesty led from the front, slaying dozens of Quasi-Saints from the Xuanhuang Realm, earning him the title of Quasi-Saint Killer!"
"Such achievements, who can compare?"
Upon hearing this, a quasi-saint from the Western religion was immediately displeased and retorted:
"My Western Buddhist Ksitigarbha is no less impressive!"
Immediately afterward, the quasi-saint Suiren Ancestor of the human race spoke:
"The Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi is highly respected and devoted himself wholeheartedly in the previous great battle."
"He should also have the opportunity to attain the fruit of sainthood."
……
For a time, arguments raged in Zixiao Palace, with each side sticking to their own version of events.
Kunpeng's face turned grim after hearing the crowd's discussion.
He is a near-saint here, and he contributed a great deal in the great battle against the Xuanhuang Realm.
But no one spoke up for him.
In particular, all the people of the Western religion favored Ksitigarbha, and no one remembered him as the third Buddha of the Western religion.
Of course, Kunpeng was well aware of this as well.
He joined the Western religion halfway through his life, so the many beings in the Western religion naturally wouldn't treat him wholeheartedly.
"call……"
After a brief pause, Kunpeng took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
Seeing the murmurs and chatter among the crowd, Niu Ben remained calm and collected, muttering to himself:
"What's there to argue about?"
"Since the Dao Ancestor has summoned everyone here, he must already have a chosen candidate in mind."
While everyone was discussing, Hongjun Daozu remained calm, letting the many beings below argue.
For a moment, his gaze swept across the many saints, quasi-saints, and near-saints present.
Upon receiving Hongjun's gaze, all the saints immediately fell silent, daring not to say another word.
Then, Dao Ancestor Hongjun spoke:
"Gentlemen."
"There's no need to argue any further."
"Who will attain the fruit of sainthood is already predetermined by the will of Heaven!"
As Hongjun spoke, all the creatures present were tense and held their breath in anticipation.
Seeing this, Hongjun didn't keep them in suspense any longer. His gaze swept over everyone and finally landed on Haotian:
"Haotian, you are the ruler of the Heavenly Court, governing the Three Realms and maintaining order."
"In the previous great battle against the Xuanhuang Realm, you took the lead and killed many quasi-saints from the Xuanhuang Realm, making outstanding contributions."
"Heaven's judgment: This sagehood is yours!"
After saying that, Dao Ancestor Hongjun suddenly waved his hand, and then a wisp of primordial purple energy, the foundation for becoming a saint, shot out and entered Haotian's brow.
Upon seeing this, Haotian was visibly shaken.
Immediately afterwards, an uncontrollable surge of joy erupted in his eyes, and he bowed deeply to Hongjun, his face flushed red.
"Thank you very much, Dao Ancestor!"
"Thank you, Heaven!"
Amidst his excitement, Haotian also felt a sense of doubt.
"strangeness."
"What... it's Primordial Purple Qi?"
"Shouldn't it be a Saint's Crystal?"
"Didn't the Dao Ancestor take away the Origin Saint's essence during the great battle with the Xuanhuang Realm?"
"Logically speaking, I should be rewarded with a Saint's Crystal!"
Haotian kept muttering to himself.
Although he was overjoyed to have attained the Dao fruit of sainthood.
But what Dao Ancestor Hongjun gave was a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi.
It's important to understand that there's a significant difference between achieving sainthood through primordial purple energy and achieving sainthood through the crystals of a saint.
Haotian obtained the Primordial Purple Qi here, but if he wants to become a saint, he needs to accumulate more merit and fortune.
If it is a Saint's Crystal, then one may attain sainthood simply by refining and absorbing it.
Of course, although he was very hesitant, Haotian did not dare to question anything aloud.
After all, obtaining this Sage Dao Fruit is already no easy feat.
Meanwhile, the other saints in the hall all had different expressions after seeing that the Dao Ancestor Hongjun had rewarded them with a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi.
They originally thought that Hongjun was going to give them the Saint's Crystal.
"How can it be the Primordial Purple Qi, the foundation for achieving sainthood?"
Niu Ben secretly suspected something.
During the previous great battle in the Xuanhuang Realm, he joined forces with the Supreme Saint to completely suppress and kill the Guiyuan Saint of the Xuanhuang Realm.
Subsequently, Dao Ancestor Hongjun appeared and directly took away the origin of Guiyuan Saint.
Logically, after obtaining the essence of the Guiyuan Saint, Hongjun should have been able to refine it into the Saint's Crystal.
"Could something have gone wrong during the refining process?"
Suddenly, a thought popped into Niu Ben's mind.
After thinking for a moment, he came to his senses and didn't dwell on it.
In fact, Niu Ben also possessed a trace of the Primordial Purple Qi that forms the foundation for sainthood.
Back when Kunpeng was still a demon master of the demon race, he led a group to intercept and kill Hongyun.
In the end, Hongyun self-destructed and died, and the wisp of primordial purple energy on his body became ownerless.
While the incarnations of Sage Zhunti and Sage Tongtian were vying for the Primordial Purple Qi, the Heaven-Supporting Black Tortoise appeared and swallowed the Primordial Purple Qi in one gulp.
Subsequently, the Xuan Turtle gave that wisp of Primordial Purple Qi to Niu Ben.
Over the years, Niu Ben has preserved that primordial purple aura and is still thinking about who he should give it to.
Firstly, he is the king of the Bull Clan, so it would be reasonable for him to give that wisp of Primordial Purple Qi to the Bull Clan.
In addition, he is also the senior disciple of the three religions, so it is acceptable for him to leave the Primordial Purple Qi to the three religions.
Furthermore, Niu Ben was the teacher of the Human Emperor Huang Tian and the ancestor of literature Cangjie. It would be feasible for him to give the Primordial Purple Qi to the human race.
At this moment, Taishang, Yuanshi, Tongtian, and Nuwa all remained calm and unconcerned when they saw that Daozu Hongjun had bestowed the title of Sage upon Haotian.
After all, Haotian's performance in the great battle against the Xuanhuang Realm was evident to all.
Giving him the fruits of sainthood is well-deserved.
On the contrary, the two saints of the Western Sect, Jieyin and Zhunti, had slightly darkened expressions, as if they were somewhat dissatisfied with this result.
