The main hall fell silent for a moment, and then all the powerful figures frantically used their movement techniques to rush towards the Treasure Sharing Rock. They couldn't eat the meat, but they definitely had to have a sip of the soup.
"Huh? Did they leave?"
Yi Shuihan moved at a moderate pace, heading towards the Treasure Dividing Rock. He noticed that Dijiang did not go to the Treasure Dividing Rock, but left directly.
When Yi Shuihan arrived at the Treasure Distribution Rock, the scene was already in a frenzy. Hongjun didn't care much for the treasures on the Treasure Distribution Rock, but they were not ordinary items either. At the very least, they were all high-grade acquired spiritual treasures, and there were quite a few top-grade acquired spiritual treasures, and even some innate spiritual treasures were mixed in.
The powerful beings who come to listen to the Dao are not usually even known to possess a single innate spiritual treasure. Even top-grade acquired spiritual treasures are enough for them to fight over.
"Damn, the Wordless Heavenly Book, the Mysterious Heavenly Plow, and the Five-Light Box—I'm not slow!"
Upon seeing Laozi putting away his treasures, Yi Shuihan was startled. He had no interest in the Treasure Distribution Rock, but fearing that the Heavenly Dao would use Hongjun's hand to scheme against him again, he no longer hesitated and began to snatch the treasures.
So what if we scheme? We'll take the benefits first. After all, no matter how precious these treasures are, they can't compare to the Primordial Purple Qi.
With a thought, he frequently made his move, and in a short time, he acquired several decent treasures.
Yin-Yang Furnace, Primordial Chaos Banner, Tai Chi Talisman, Dragon and Phoenix Zither, Heaven-Swallowing Cover, Rainbow-Piercing Rope, Heaven-Illuminating Seal, Heaven-Stabilizing Hairpin, Ethereal Heaven-Entangling Belt...
One by one, the treasures were collected, and although none of them were top-grade innate spiritual treasures, Yi Shuihan still felt that the trip was worthwhile.
After most of the day had passed, all the treasures on the Treasure Sharing Rock had finally been looted. No one left empty-handed; everyone had obtained at least one or two treasures, and some even obtained dozens of magical artifacts, making it a very fruitful day.
Although Yi Shuihan made his move later, his speed was undeniable, and he ended up reaping the most rewards. These treasures could be worth tens of thousands of value points.
"The combined magical treasures of Hongjun are comparable to the treasure trove of the Wu Clan. He truly is the number one figure in the prehistoric world."
The fact that Hongjun could so easily give up so many treasures proves that he had already subtly surpassed the level of a saint, putting Yi Shuihan under immense pressure.
Many of the main characters eventually acquired this treasure rock, saying it was a valuable item, but the true nature of it remains unknown.
Yi Shuihan took out a special value tester and aimed it at the Treasure Dividing Rock. After a few beeps, a number that surprised Yi Shuihan appeared on the screen: 10000. What did this mean? It was enough to buy a system that could cultivate a Great Luo Golden Immortal, equivalent to the value of a high-grade innate spiritual treasure.
Without a word, he immediately put away the Treasure Sharing Rock, a move that left all the powerful figures who hadn't yet left completely stunned.
"Alas, how could I not have thought that this Treasure Sharing Rock was also a treasure?"
"This Taiyi is quite a remarkable person, but is he unaware of the perilous situation he faces, or is he simply overconfident? The Primordial Purple Qi! Who wouldn't be tempted by it?"
"I'm leaving, I'm leaving. Such important matters are beyond my ability to get involved in. The primordial world is about to become turbulent again. I need to go into seclusion for a while. Unless the primordial world is shattered, I will not come out no matter what happens outside."
There are bold people and timid people, but those who can cultivate to the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal are not ordinary people. They are all shrewd and experienced. If Hongjun hadn't exaggerated the saints to the point that it would be the end of one's life if one didn't become a saint, these powerful beings wouldn't have been so deeply influenced.
Yi Shuihan saw it all. Because of Hongjun's words, the tribulation energy that was originally unable to invade the Great Luo Golden Immortals was unknowingly used by many people. Although it did not completely deceive them, it had an intentional or unintentional influence. At critical moments, this thing would be absolutely fatal.
“Fellow Daoist Taiyi, we have all obtained the Primordial Purple Qi this time. Why don’t you come with us to Kunlun Mountain to comprehend the foundation of the Great Dao together, so that we can ascend to the Sainthood?”
Just as Yi Shuihan was about to go watch the exciting war between the Lich King and the Demon King, Tongtian stepped forward and invited him.
Having obtained the Immortal Execution Sword, Tongtian exuded a murderous aura, creating a killing field around him. If one's cultivation level was insufficient, he might directly become a killing puppet.
"Tongtian, Fellow Daoist Taiyi must have other things to do, so please don't disturb him."
Yuanshi spoke up, saying that Taiyi was clearly a source of trouble, and countless people were eyeing him. Yuanshi didn't want to get involved in this mess. Besides, although they had obtained the supreme treasure and had the title of Hongjun's personal disciple, they seemed to be safe and sound, but there were always those who would take risks. If they really went with Yishuihan, they might all become targets.
“Yuanshi is right. I do have other matters to attend to, so I won’t go to Kunlun. I will definitely visit him at some time in the future.”
Seeing through Yuan Shi's little scheme, Yi Shuihan didn't bother to expose him and immediately said...
"and many more!"
"Oh! What brings you here, fellow Daoist Laozi?"
"Could you buy me a few operating systems?"
Which system do you want?
"Is there a system that allows one to cultivate to sainthood?"
When Lao Tzu said this, he had already secretly sealed off the surrounding space, clearly not wanting others to hear him.
Tongtian and Yuanshi were stunned when they heard Laozi's words, thinking that Laozi was joking. However, when they saw Laozi's unfathomable eyes, they immediately realized something and stared straight at Yi Shuihan.
"Yes, it is, but unfortunately you can't afford it."
"Can't afford it?"
A glint flashed in Laozi's eyes, and a smile appeared on his face, which startled Tongtian and Yuanshi. Even they rarely saw Laozi smile.
Chapter 1043, The False Saint and the True Saint
"Can this be replaced with the Holy System?"
Laozi flipped his hand, and a wisp of primordial purple energy appeared in his palm.
"not enough!"
Looking at Laozi in surprise, Yi Shuihan hadn't expected Laozi to be so decisive, as this was the key item for him to become a sage.
The Primordial Purple Qi is precious in any world, but that's under normal circumstances. The Primordial Purple Qi taken from Hongjun's hands is much less valuable because it has been tampered with.
"Brother, don't listen to his nonsense. He doesn't have a system that can make people become saints. How could such a system exist in this world? Even a system that can make one a Great Luo Golden Immortal, I don't think he has one."
“He has it! It’s already certain that he has achieved the Great Luo Golden Immortal level. Di Jiang only gained immortal cultivation and was able to come and listen to the Dao because of the system that can help one achieve the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.”
"Dijiang!?"
Upon hearing Laozi mention Dijiang, Yuanshi was taken aback. He then recalled the scene in the main hall earlier and finally understood that Dijiang had indeed come to listen to the Dao, because he had attained immortal cultivation.
Because Dijiang is currently only a Great Luo Golden Immortal, Laozi did not guess that Dijiang actually possessed a Quasi-Saint level system.
No wonder, no wonder my brother asked if Taiyi had a system that could lead to sainthood.
Previously, Taiyi even wanted to give the Primordial Purple Qi he had acquired to Hongyun. Was that because he was being deliberately mysterious, or did he genuinely not care? Because he was confident that he could become a saint without relying on the Primordial Purple Qi?
Yuanshi's gaze towards Taiyi completely changed. Before, he still looked down on Yi Shuihan, thinking that as one of the Three Pure Ones transformed from Pangu's primordial spirit, his origins must be far superior to Yi Shuihan's. After Hongjun designated him as one of the saints and bestowed upon him the Pangu Banner, he became even more arrogant. Although Yi Shuihan also obtained the Primordial Purple Qi, it was merely luck, and it was completely incomparable to his destiny.
Now that he knew that Yi Shuihan didn't care about the things he valued so much, Yuan Shi felt indescribable emotions.
"Could all of these be exchanged for a Quasi-Saint System?"
Lao Tzu took out everything he had previously stolen from the Treasure Dividing Rock, including some treasures he had found or refined while still alive. Among them were seven or eight innate-level spiritual treasures. If Zhunti saw them, he would definitely cry out that it was unfair, as the gap was too great.
"Wait, let me see."
Yi Shuihan took out the value point tester and tested it one by one. Finally, he gave it a value of 9, which was more than enough to buy a quasi-saint system, as long as Yi Shuihan lowered the price a little.
"That's enough. You can exchange it for a Quasi-Saint system, but I suggest you bring the Taiji Diagram with you. That way, the Quasi-Saint system you get can be cultivated to the peak of Quasi-Saint, comparable to a strong person who has severed the three corpses, only weaker than a Saint who has merged the three corpses."
"If you are willing to take the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda with you, I recommend a system that will guarantee to make your foundation extremely solid. With the help of the system, you will have a 5% chance of becoming a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal without relying on the Primordial Purple Qi."
The Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda is the number one defensive treasure in the primordial world. Even the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation cannot break through it. The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation cannot be broken by anyone other than the Four Saints, but that does not mean that it can kill the Three Saints. If Laozi were to use the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda to go through the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, he would at most be trapped for a period of time.
Yi Shuihan wasn't joking. For people like Laozi who could achieve sainthood on their own, choosing the best quasi-saint system would be enough. They could rely on the strong foundation laid by the system and their own talent to push for breakthroughs.
"Fellow Daoist, could you please tell me the specific differences between a Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal and a Sage?"
Laozi did not accept Yi Shuihan's suggestion, but instead asked a question.
"The Primordial Golden Immortal is actually a level above the Golden Immortal. A Saint is a rank, just like the Heavenly Emperor. The strength of a Saint is related to the strength of the world. Saints in the Primordial World should at least be Primordial Golden Immortals. As long as you become a Saint in this world, regardless of whether your cultivation has reached the Primordial Golden Immortal level, you will be promoted to the Primordial Golden Immortal level."
"However, if you become a saint, your fate will be tied to the primordial world. If you ever face great difficulties and leave the primordial world or fall from your sainthood, the blessing power you received from this world will disappear. If that happens, and your own cultivation level is below the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, you will directly fall below the Primordial Golden Immortal realm."
"Generally speaking, the position of Saint is an external force, while the power of the Primordial Golden Immortal is entirely one's own. Generally speaking, people call the Primordial Golden Immortal a True Saint, while those who become Saints by virtue of their world position are called False Saints."
The Primordial Golden Immortal is indeed a realm above the Golden Immortal. In fact, the Quasi-Saint cannot be considered a complete realm; it is merely a transition.
Yi Shuihan never intended to become a false saint; his only goal was to become a true saint. Therefore, he had absolutely no interest in the Primordial Purple Qi.
After listening to Yi Shuihan's account, the Three Pure Ones fell silent, their excitement at being ordained as saints by Heaven subsiding. They were not fools; they could already sense Yi Shuihan's disdain for the false saints.
If they didn't know the reason behind this, the Three Pure Ones would definitely choose to become Heavenly Saints without hesitation. However, now that they know the difference, they hesitate. It's obvious that becoming a True Saint is a better path! Even if choosing this path is much more difficult.
Is there a path beyond the path of a sage?
Lao Tzu's voice was unusually serious, as if he were asking a crucial question that would affect his entire life.
"Yes! Even a saint is just a minor expert in all the heavens and myriad realms."
They gave an affirmative answer.
......
"Brother, you're finally back! How was it? How did you fare?"
"I have broken through from the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal to the middle stage. Hongjun's sermons are indeed remarkable."
"We have all achieved the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and the overall strength of the demon race has now been reduced by half. It is the perfect time to launch an attack."
"Very well, pass on my orders to launch a war to exterminate the demon race. This time, we must make sure that the demon race is completely forced to withdraw from the stage of domination."
Without warning, the Wu tribe launched a full-scale war, plunging the entire prehistoric world into the smoke of battle. The demon tribe was caught off guard, and by the time Di Jun and other demon tribe leaders returned, the demon tribe had been slaughtered, with rivers of blood flowing down their faces—a truly tragic scene.
"Waaaah, Dijiang, I'm going to kill you!"
Di Jun went mad on the spot. His good mood after obtaining the treasure at the Treasure Sharing Rock vanished instantly, and he became completely insane. The Witch Clan had gone too far this time, completely destroying Di Jun's foundation. It would be almost impossible for him to gather such a large momentum again.
"Brother, calm down. As long as you can become a saint, there is still a chance for everything."
Donghuang Taiyi cared most about Dijun, not the demon race, so he calmly offered advice at this moment, which was completely the opposite of the previous time.
Chapter 1044, Pangu's True Form Appears
Donghuang Taiyi's words did indeed bring a flash of clarity to Di Jun's eyes, but from their unseen perspective, endless calamity energy surged wildly into Di Jun's body, causing that clarity to vanish again in the blink of an eye.
"Even so, I will make them pay the price before I leave."
Di Jun roared, his body transforming into a giant fireball as he charged into the battlefield, beginning to slaughter the ordinary witch clan members.
In just a short while, by the time the other Ancestral Witches realized something was wrong, more than 100,000 Witches had died at the hands of Di Jun.
"Di Jun, you're asking for death."
Dijiang immediately came up and launched a frenzied attack on Dijun, while Donghuang Taiyi was surrounded by five Ancestral Witches.
Judging from this situation, it seems that the demon race is on the verge of defeat.
"Fuxi, Nuwa, do you really intend to become enemies with my Wu tribe?"
Four Ancestral Witches were blocked by Nuwa and her group. In the past, they would have naturally started fighting directly. However, after learning from Dijiang that Nuwa was destined to become a saint, they were somewhat wary and did not start fighting immediately. Of course, the main reason was that even without them, the Witch Clan still had the upper hand.
"Your Wu clan took advantage of our overhearing to ambush and kill the younger generation, which is extremely shameless. Now you want to wipe us out completely? I used to think that every member of the Wu clan was an upright and honest man, but it turns out that they were all pretending. You are even said to be formed from the essence and blood of the Great God Pangu. You are truly a disgrace to the Great God Pangu."
Fuxi said angrily. He was still loyal to the demon race. If the witch race and the demon race were to fight, even if he lost, Fuxi would not be so angry. The main problem was that the witch race was using despicable methods. The ancestral witches killed most of the elites and launched a sneak attack before Dijun and the others returned.
Nuwa, standing to the side, had an icy expression and held a red embroidered ball in her hand, ready to strike at any moment. Her anger was no less than that of Fuxi.
After Fuxi said that, the ancestral witches who were blocked also showed embarrassed expressions. There was nothing they could do. What he said made a lot of sense. They had already done it, so why couldn't others say anything?
It's all that guy's fault. If he hadn't sold us the system, we wouldn't be in this situation.
A certain ancestral witch, with a heart full of malice, attributed all the cause and effect to Yi Shuihan, and Yi Shuihan, who had just appeared on the battlefield of witches and demons, seemed to sense something and turned his gaze here.
"It's so miserable!"
After taking a quick look at the battlefield, Yi Shuihan suddenly realized that he had made a mistake. If he hadn't bought the system, these demons wouldn't have been slaughtered. Perhaps their original fate would have been death anyway, but at least they wouldn't have died so uselessly.
Of course, such thoughts only flashed by, and at Yi Shuihan's level, he would no longer be easily swayed by these emotions.
"This time, the Ancestral Witch can win even without revealing the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation."
With the addition of physical strength and magical power, the Ancestral Witches, despite only being Great Luo Golden Immortals, each experienced a surge in strength of 10% to 20%. For someone of their level, this 10% to 20% increase was enough to change the course of the battle.
Rumble,
Donghuang Taiyi was blasted into the earth, and hundreds of mountains were shattered as a result.
Even though Donghuang Taiyi possessed the Chaos Bell, he was still seriously injured at this moment. It wasn't that the Chaos Bell was ineffective, but rather that with his current cultivation level, he couldn't fully utilize its power. The Chaos Bell was a supreme treasure used by saints.
Originally, Donghuang Taiyi could barely handle four Ancestral Witches and was mostly at a disadvantage. This time, he faced five directly, all of whom were enhanced versions. It was only natural that he was defeated so quickly.
"Second brother!"
When Di Jun saw that Donghuang Taiyi was in danger, his eyes turned red. He didn't bother to continue attacking Di Jiang and immediately went to rescue Donghuang Taiyi.
Although Dijiang's strength had increased, he still couldn't gain the upper hand against Dijun and failed to stop Dijun from coming to the rescue.
"Brother, I'm fine."
Donghuang Taiyi's robes were damaged, he was covered in dust and dirt, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. He stood up, but he gave people the feeling that he was forcing himself to stand up.
"I know you're all watching? Do you really want the Witch Clan to wipe out the Demon Clan? Even without the Demon Clan, your lives won't be easy."
Di Jun shouted to those around him. Although he did not appear, anyone at the Quasi-Saint level could vaguely sense the presence of someone of the same level. The surrounding void had long been hiding countless powerful beings.
As Di Jun spoke, the Ancestral Witches also temporarily stopped, gathered together, and exuded an incomparably powerful aura, as if they would launch a thunderous attack if anyone dared to stand up.
"Alas, Heaven cherishes life, how about you all stop here?"
