Chapter 873 Hongjun's Plot, Chaos Ancestor Excited!
Hongjun's eternally unchanging face was now filled with unprecedented majesty and confidence.
It was an absolute confidence that allowed one to control everything and have absolute power over one's words.
"That's right, it's about creating a saint!"
He repeated it once more, each word seemingly containing an indescribable power, causing the Chaos Ancestor to tremble in his heart.
The Chaos Ancestor's body froze in place.
Those scarlet eyes stared intently at Hongjun, the emotions surging within them slowly shifting from initial shock to a kind of absurd doubt.
To create a saint?
How easily those two words are uttered!
He spoke in a hoarse voice, each syllable uttered with great difficulty.
"Without the Primordial Purple Qi, how can one become a saint?"
"Hongjun, have you been driven mad by that Gu Changqing?!"
This was not because the Ancestor of Chaos wanted to argue with Hongjun or vent his anger.
Rather, he was genuinely shocked and uncertain.
Creating a saint?!
Listen to this! Is this even human language?!
It should be understood that since the formation of the primordial world, the status of a sage has been an unattainable and irreplaceable position.
The Heavenly Dao's control over the Dao Fruit of a Sage is unimaginably strict.
Otherwise, how could so few saints have appeared throughout the ages?!
And now, Hongjun is so casually talking about "creating saints"?!
What will we use to build it?
"Even if you truly possess extraordinary abilities and forcibly create a few so-called 'saints,' they are nothing more than empty shells with weak combat power—false saints!"
"Besides, no matter how many of those kinds of people there are, how could they possibly shake Gu Changqing's current prestige?"
What the Ancestor of Chaos said is perfectly reasonable.
No wonder he was so agitated!
After all, in anyone's eyes, Hongjun's actions were probably just an attempt to create some "false saints".
To put it bluntly, it's just that it looks dignified on the surface.
In fact, even sages like Lao Tzu and Yuan Shi are no match for him.
Not to mention dealing with Gu Changqing, who is a true Grand Luo Golden Immortal.
However, Hongjun remained calm in the face of Chaos Ancestor's reaction.
He glanced meaningfully at the Chaos Ancestor before continuing:
"A false saint?"
Hongjun uttered two words softly, with a hint of obvious sarcasm.
"Fellow Daoist Chaos, what you describe is indeed a scene from the past!"
Hongjun remained calm as he uttered these words.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, it seemed to have stirred up some unspeakable, overwhelming power from the depths of the universe.
boom!
boom!
......
Then, a series of muffled celestial sounds rang out.
At the same time, large swaths of Daoist divine patterns suddenly appeared around Hongjun, rising and falling, reflecting each other.
Within those divine runes, all sorts of astonishing scenes unfolded, seemingly capable of obliterating eras and suppressing the heavens and earth—an unspeakable terror.
Seeing this scene, the Chaos Ancestor was shocked.
Hongjun's aura, or rather his strength, seems to be many times stronger than before.
Seemingly sensing the shock of the Chaos Ancestor, Hongjun's voice continued.
"But now, the rules of heaven and earth have changed drastically."
"I have long since merged with the Heavenly Dao, or rather, I have become the true Heavenly Dao."
"In this world today, becoming a saint requires no primordial purple energy, only... a single word from me!"
boom!
Hongjun's words left the Chaos Ancestor completely stunned.
The latter's heart was also uncontrollably stirred with turbulent waves.
No need for Primordial Purple Qi?
Could a single word from Hongjun create even more sages?!
What domineering words!
Harmony with the Dao, harmony with the Dao...
He always thought that Hongjun's merging with the Dao was simply making him the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao, allowing him to draw upon its power.
But I never imagined that the fusion between Hong and the Heavenly Dao would reach such an unbelievable level!
In a sense, he can already represent the will of this primordial world!
Seeing the distraught appearance of the Chaos Ancestor, Hongjun remained indifferent and continued to explain.
"The rules and order of this world have already undergone earth-shattering changes because of that anomaly, Gu Changqing."
"The old path to sainthood is no longer the only one."
"As the holder of the authority of the Heavenly Dao, I have naturally obtained unprecedented privileges."
"Without the Primordial Purple Qi, I can directly condense the 'Saint Dao Fruit' and bestow it upon those with the right destiny, helping them ascend to the heavens in one step!"
Hongjun's voice echoed in the deathly silent palace, filled with boundless magic.
The chaotic aura of the Chaos Ancestor gradually calmed down.
He began to think.
He no longer questioned whether Hongjun had the ability.
Because Hongjun's current state has already proven everything.
He was pondering, what is the point of doing this?
As if seeing through his thoughts, a cold smile appeared on Hongjun's lips.
"Do you think that I created saints merely to increase my number of henchmen?"
"That's just one aspect."
"More importantly, it's about people's hearts!"
"Human hearts?" The Chaos Ancestor was slightly taken aback.
"Indeed, the human heart!"
Hongjun's voice suddenly rose a few decibels, carrying an indifferent air of insight into all living beings.
"Previously, you and I seized the essence of the demon god, intending to merge with the Heavenly Dao in order to gain stronger control, but we were unexpectedly exposed by Gu Changqing, which brought everything to light."
"This action has caused us to lose our sense of awe for all living beings."
“They would feel that Heaven is unjust and that the sages are selfish.”
Hongjun walked slowly, and with each step, ripples of Daoist energy spread out from beneath his feet.
"And the matter of 'creating saints' is a powerful remedy!"
"I ask you, in this primordial world, throughout history, how many brilliant and talented individuals have been trapped at the peak of Quasi-Saint, unable to make any progress in their entire lives?"
"Attaining sainthood is their greatest obsession!"
Who could resist such temptation?
"Who dares to resist?!"
Hongjun suddenly turned around, his eyes bursting with extremely dazzling divine light, piercing straight into the depths of the Chaos Ancestor's heart.
"If all living beings in the world know that I can help people become saints!"
"What do you think Randeng of the Chan Sect will choose?"
"Will the Kunpeng of the demon race still defend the Northern Sea to the death?"
"Even... among those myriad immortals of the Jie Sect, those powerful figures who follow Gu Changqing, will their Dao hearts remain as steadfast as ever?"
A series of questions, each one more piercing than the last!
At this moment, the Chaos Ancestor's breathing completely stopped.
In his mind, he frantically reenacted the scene described by Hongjun.
A magnificent yet turbulent picture slowly unfolded before him.
He saw it.
He saw the flames of greed reignite on the bitter face of the lamp-burning man.
He saw the ancient demon in the Northern Underworld Palace, which had remained motionless for ten thousand years, beginning to stir.
He saw an endless sea of blood, with towering waves!
He even saw that on Jin'ao Island, people's hearts were in turmoil, and the gazes of countless Jie Sect immortals toward Biyou Palace were beginning to become complicated...
This……
This is no longer a simple increase in combat power.
This is clearly a calculated and deliberate move to undermine the enemy's defenses!
Use the temptation of becoming a saint to divide and weaken Gu Changqing's camp, shake his foundation, and put him in a predicament where he is an enemy of the world!
