Chapter 120 The Three Ways of the Saint
As soon as Hongjun said this, all the gods fell silent. These words seemed mysterious, but in the final analysis they meant one thing: Hongjun didn't know how to help them become Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. Everything depended on themselves.

Yuanshi Tianzun asked again: "May I ask you, Master, how did you achieve the status of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian?"

Yuanshi Tianzun's words were very bold. It was equivalent to asking Hongjun about private matters, and they were extremely private secrets.

The opportunity of achieving enlightenment, when and how to achieve enlightenment are all great secrets of Hongjun. If Hongjun does not care, then he can naturally tell it, but if he is unwilling, then Yuanshi Tianzun's move can be regarded as a great insult.

Even if Hongjun killed him on the spot, the gods would not say anything and would only think that Yuanshi Tianzun was stupid and had angered the saint in vain.

Laozi and Tongtian didn't know that Yuanshi Tianzun was so bold, and they couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for him.

Hongjun didn't care about it at all, and said calmly: "Everyone's chance of becoming a Taoist is different, so it's okay to tell you that I am the first innate Hunyuan Qi wrapped in the first innate spiritual energy and transformed. I am the ancestor of all qi and I am born with a predestined relationship with Hunyuan.

During the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity, I joined forces with several fellow Taoists to kill Luohu. Before his death, Luohu actually blew himself up, causing an endless explosion in the west. In the end, he transformed into a demon with the power of the explosion. However, because of my achievement in killing Luohu, I was favored by the Heavenly Dao, and all its secrets were opened to me.

The Heavenly Dao is the incarnation of Pangu's spirit and soul, and it can utilize the great power of Pangu during his lifetime. I have understood the secret of power, and I have a feeling in my heart. Then I use the secret method of beheading the three corpses to eliminate distracting thoughts, and then I have achieved Hunyuan Daluo."

Hongjun told without reservation how he achieved Hunyuan Daluo, and all the gods present were silent after hearing it.

As expected, the experience of every Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian cannot be replicated. The reason why Hongjun was able to achieve Hunyuan Daluo, in addition to his original body, was that through the merit of killing Luohou, the Heavenly Dao opened up all the secrets to him, even the extremely secret avenue of power.

You have to know that Luohou blew up the entire West into pieces, and it has been difficult to recover until now. Hongjun killed such a ruthless person so that the Heavenly Dao could cheer him up. If they want to copy this path, where can they find a West to make them explode?

Are we going to use the Eastern Continent?
Not to mention that other great gods would not agree, just with Hongjun being here, who would dare to act recklessly?

Yuanshi Tianzun also retreated silently, closing his eyes slightly and pretending to be thinking.

Tongtian immediately stepped forward and asked, "Teacher, what is the difference between a saint and a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian?"

When the gods heard this, they became alert and immediately pricked up their ears to listen carefully. A saint is equal to a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. If one cannot become a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, becoming a saint is also great.

General Hongjun could see the expressions of the gods present, shook his head slightly, and said: "The full name of the saint is the Great Saint of the Great Desolation. He is the highest level of the Great Desolation and has the authority to mobilize part of the power of the Heavenly Dao. In the Great Desolation, he is equal to the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. He can even slightly suppress the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian with the power of the Heavenly Dao. But if he leaves the Great Desolation, the saint will have a hard time defeating the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. After all, the saint's power is borrowed from the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao protects the Great Desolation and naturally will not let the power flow out.

The power of the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian depends entirely on itself. No matter where it goes, even if it leaves this world and universe, its power will not be damaged in the slightest. It is perfect and free, eternal and at ease. Even if the primordial world is destroyed, the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian can freely travel through countless avenues and spaces. It is a truly carefree person. "

After getting the answer, Tongtian also looked thoughtful. As Hengming was the fourth person in line, it was finally his turn to ask questions.

Although none of the gods present knew the order of the questions, they saw that Hongjun only answered the questions of the seven people on the cushion, and even did not care much about the questions they asked that involved privacy, and he also ignored the change of seats by the Twelve Ancestral Witches. He knew that he had to ask for his own answers through the mouths of these seven people.

Afterwards, all the gods present looked at Hengming with eager eyes, hoping that he would ask questions that would be useful to them.

Hengming completely ignored those looks and asked, "Teacher, may I ask how can I achieve the status of a saint?"

After hearing this question, Hongjun looked at Hengming and said with a smile, "That's a good question. If you want to achieve the status of a saint, there are three ways. The first way is to prove the way with strength, cultivate the power path that is consistent with the great god Pangu, and attract the attention of the heaven. If you have the assistance of any of the three treasures of creation, then the probability of attracting the attention of the heaven will be greater. One day, you may be favored by the heaven and be given the status of a saint.

The second method is the way of beheading the three corpses that I created. After killing the three corpses, the three corpses will be combined into one and integrated into one's own body, which will be completely perfect. Naturally, the Way of Heaven will condense the sainthood for you. However, this way is only suitable for me. Those who learn from me will live, and those who imitate me will die. If you imitate my behavior at will, it will only harm you.

The third method is the way of merit. Do things in accordance with the will of heaven within the world and gain merit. After accumulating immeasurable merit and gathering immeasurable luck, you can then use the hand of heaven to create the status of a meritorious saint for yourself.

These three methods have their own strengths and weaknesses. The first one has the highest power and can borrow the power of Heaven. Even after becoming a saint, it is possible to become a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. The second one is perfect in itself, with a heart of Tao that can shine for thousands of years. It is not as good as the best, but better than the worst. The third one has the weakest power and lacks a heart of Tao, but it is the most difficult to provoke. If you offend it, at the very least, Heaven will be displeased and your luck will be greatly damaged. At the worst, Heaven will send countless people to anger you, and even if the prehistoric world is damaged, it will still kill you completely."

After hearing these three ways to achieve enlightenment, all the gods were speechless. The first one has the highest strength and potential. After becoming a saint, it is possible to achieve Hunyuan Daluo.

But the prerequisite for taking this path is to cultivate the avenue of strength. However, among the three thousand guests in Zixiao Palace, all of them are Golden Immortals today. The avenues they cultivate were already determined at the Golden Immortal stage. How could it be possible to change it?

Moreover, even after the change, one may not necessarily be favored by Heaven. The status of a saint may seem easy to achieve, but it is just like a flower in the mirror or a moon in the water. It may seem within reach, but in the end one will end up losing both his wealth and his life.

As for the third type, it is even more unreliable. Merit is so rare that even if they continue to teach sentient beings, if they want to obtain infinite merit, I am afraid that by the time the primitive world is destroyed, they may not even be able to get half of it.

The second one does have some possibilities. Although Hongjun said that those who learn from him will live, and those who imitate him will die, there is only a chance of success. What if they succeed?

Although this possibility is extremely small, even so slim that it is unimaginable, it is still a ray of hope.

But among the gods present, there was one with a bright gaze, and that was Taiyi.

"The Chaos Bell is one of the three treasures of Creation. Could it be that I am destined to cultivate the great power?"

The more Taiyi thought about it, the more impatient he became. He wished he could take out the Chaos Bell right then and there and start practicing the Great Dao. However, since he was now in the Zixiao Palace, there were many people around, so he could only wait to return to the Thirty-Sixth Heaven to try again.

Di Jun noticed Taiyi's eyes. They were brothers and had a mutual understanding. Di Jun knew what Taiyi was thinking at once. He was shocked, but didn't know how to persuade him.

"Changing to the Great Dao is so dangerous. We must persuade Taiyi! How can he do such a foolish thing!"

After getting this answer, Hengming retreated silently, while Nuwa shook her head slightly, indicating that she had no questions to ask.

Jie Yin thought about it and shook his head. After all, the four people before him had asked all the questions that should be asked, and he didn't know what to ask, so he simply didn't ask.

Zhunti seemed a little impatient. Seeing that the two people in front of him had nothing to say, he immediately asked: "Teacher, the obsession with good and evil must be placed on innate things, but if the obsession with good and evil is placed on acquired things, would it be inappropriate?"

Except for a few great gods who knew the method of beheading the three corpses and remained calm, the other great gods were shocked and listened carefully.

They are not fools. Hongjun said that it is possible to achieve sainthood after beheading the three corpses. Inexplicable Taoists appeared above the heads of several people present, especially the seven people on the cushions. Except for Zhunti, there were two Taoists appearing above the heads of the other six people. It was obvious that they had reached the stage of beheading two corpses.

These people obviously know the secret method of beheading the three corpses, and if they want to achieve the fruit of sainthood, they must obtain this secret method. Otherwise, can they really turn to the great way or accumulate immeasurable merits? How is it possible?

Hongjun said: "Beheading the Three Corpses is a secret method of the Tao Heart. It doesn't matter if you have something to rely on or not. But you are all innate gods, so it is better to use innate things. Acquired things are ultimately contaminated by the turbid air of the world, which is not in line with your Taoism.

The gold relic that you cultivate is of innate nature, and you can place your obsession with good and evil on the golden body. However, when you were refining the golden body, you used acquired things to smelt it, which easily caused the entanglement of cause and effect karma.

If you place your obsession with good and evil on the innate spiritual treasure, the strength of the three corpses will increase to the limit, and naturally they will be able to help you. You can explore the wonderful uses of many things by yourselves."

After hearing this, Zhunti breathed a sigh of relief. One must know that the West is extremely poor and even innate things are rarely born, let alone such a divine thing as innate spiritual treasures.

The golden body of the relic is a kind of wonderful magical power that he and Jie Yin specially refined after careful study by using the method of transforming the acquired into the innate. It is like a spiritual treasure, like a magical power but not a magical power. It is now beginning to spread slowly.

A faint smile appeared on Hengming's face. No wonder the golden bodies of Buddhist relics in the future would all be burned with karma. And almost all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas had golden wheels of merit circling behind their heads, and some even had more than one golden wheel entangled. It can be seen that the golden bodies of relics are indeed easy to provoke cause and effect. They must be burned with karma fire and suppressed with merit to obtain purity and freedom, and the paradise beyond bliss.

And with the power of karma fire, the strength of the golden body of the relic can be increased, and it can also burn away the filth and return to the original origin. No wonder there are so many Nirvana Bodhisattvas and Nirvana Buddhas, and even the so-called end of Nirvana. It turns out that they are all for cultivation.
