Chapter 272 Testing
In the Heavenly Palace, Ziwei Palace, Jia Hu suddenly opened his eyes, stretched out his hand and waved to dispel the pressure from the saint.

"Tathagata became a saint? He is not the Golden Immortal of Hunyuan Daluo. Could it be that he obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi?" Jia Hu was also puzzled.

But then he closed his eyes. Even if Tathagata became a saint, he would not be his opponent. Now his target was Hongjun.

In the chaos, Nuwa was not surprised that Tongtian and Yuanshi were here.

"Big Brother, why can Tathagata become a saint?" Nuwa asked impatiently.

Tongtian's eyes were extremely complicated. After all, Tathagata was still his disciple, but he had gone to the West.

Yuanshi also frowned and said, "Yes, brother, can you become a saint without Hongmeng Purple Qi?"

Tai Qing's eyes were dim. "What if he has Hongmeng Purple Qi?"

"What? Impossible, absolutely impossible." Yuanshi immediately shook his head.

Nuwa also said, "Big Brother, there is only so much Hongmeng Purple Qi, how could Tathagata obtain it?"

The Great Purity Saint said slowly, "Have you forgotten the Hongmeng Purple Qi of the Red Cloud Ancestor?"

"Didn't it disappear? I didn't hear that it was obtained by Tathagata." Nuwa asked puzzledly.

The Saint Taiqing smiled and said, "Oh, it disappeared. Who do you think made it disappear?"

Tongtian suddenly said in a deep voice, "Teacher"

Nuwa and Yuanshi's faces changed and they also reacted.

Nuwa said in a deep voice, "Big Brother, are you saying that the teacher gave the Hongmeng Purple Qi to Tathagata?"

The Saint Taiqing nodded slowly. "Other than this, I really can't think of how Tathagata became a saint."

Everyone fell silent. This was Hongjun's work. What exactly did Hongjun want to do?
Tongtian said faintly, "In this way, there are three saints in the West, which is no worse than our Three Pure Ones."

Yuanshi's face darkened. "Humph, how can they compare with us Pangu authentic ones?"

Tongtian glanced at Yuanshi and said, "At least the others are united."

Originally
It's a murder that breaks one's heart. Yuanshi Tianzun felt a burning sensation on his face. Who could blame him for the indisputable fact?

"Okay, Tongtian, your personalities are like this, there is nothing we can do about it, please be more understanding." Taiqing sighed helplessly.

Tongtian did not provoke Yuanshi again, thinking that he might have some problems too.

Nuwa said quickly, "Let's not talk about other things first. What do you think is the purpose of the teacher doing this? Will he imprison Tathagata in the chaos?"

Tongtian was stunned. "That should be the case. After all, the Three Realms cannot withstand the actions of a saint."

"No." Saint Taiqing said firmly.

"Huh?" Several people looked at Saint Taiqing in surprise.

"You have forgotten that Buddhism should flourish. However, because of Emperor Ziwei, Buddhism is not flourishing but has fallen into decline." Taiqing said slowly.

Several people fell silent. Nuwa asked anxiously, "Are we going to let Buddhism dominate alone?"

Yuanshi and Tongtian were also anxious, "Yes, with the existence of the saint, can our sect still be preserved?"

But they knew the power of saints. Those who were not saints were just ants. How could their disciples be their opponents?

Tai Qing's eyes flashed, "Don't worry, don't we still have the Purple Star Emperor?"

"Hmm? Yeah, I almost forgot about him." Tongtian slapped his forehead, and then asked worriedly, "But will he take action?"

Nuwa laughed and said, "I will definitely take action. Have you forgotten about him? He is the one who betrayed Buddhism and went to seek Buddhist scriptures."

"Uh" Yuanshi and Tongtian were startled. They really hadn't thought of this. After all, he was already a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. Who could have remembered his identity as a pilgrim? The Taiqing Saint smiled and said, "I was originally wondering when he would take action. Now it seems that it will be Tathagata who will take action."

Yuanshi suddenly said, "Brother, do you think it is possible that the teacher discovered his strength and allowed Tathagata to become a saint?"

Several people were stunned, and even Saint Taiqing looked thoughtful.

After a long while, he shook his head and said, "No, if we had discovered it, the teacher would have already taken action, or asked us to do it."

Inexplicably, Nuwa and the others all breathed a sigh of relief. They still didn't want Jia Hu to be exposed so soon.

Lingshan, where Tathagata was in seclusion, was looking at the shadow in front of him respectfully, "Thank you, Daozu, for your help."

That’s right, the person in front of him was Hongjun, but his figure seemed a little illusory and obviously not his real body.

"Well, very good. Remember, in this calamity, Buddhism needs to flourish. Although there have been many changes before, you are now a saint, and no one should be able to defend against you." Hongjun said lightly.

"Daozu, I understand." Tathagata said respectfully.

Hongjun nodded and disappeared.

Tathagata breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Hongjun disappear, but even though he was facing a phantom, he still felt a little frightened.

Then a smile appeared on his face. "Haha, I finally became a saint." He looked up at the sky, as if he had seen through the chaos. "Master, you didn't expect this, right? This shows that I was right to leave Jiejiao."

He also didn't expect that Hongjun would suddenly appear when he was in seclusion and give him a ray of Hongmeng purple energy.

He was almost scared to death at that time, and then he was extremely surprised. No matter what Hongjun said, he agreed without hesitation.

After all, that is the Hongmeng purple energy, the foundation for becoming a saint. Who wouldn’t want it?

Suddenly, a voice sounded in his ears, "Daoyou, can you come and see me?"

Tathagata grinned. This was the voice of Jie Yin. It was indeed different. Now they addressed themselves as fellow Taoists. Is this a saint?
He put away his smile and disappeared in a blink of an eye. He really wanted to meet these two Western saints. As Buddhism was flourishing, he still needed to discuss things with them.

In the chaos, Mount Sumeru, Jie Yin and Zhunti looked at the Tathagata in front of them with complicated eyes.

"Congratulations, fellow Taoist, on becoming a saint." Jie Yin said with a smile.

After saying that, he made a cloud bed so that Tathagata could be on equal footing with them.

Tathagata's eyes were full of smiles. "You are too polite, Daoist Jieyin. It was just a fluke."

Zhunti shook his head and said, "There is no such thing as luck in becoming a saint. This shows that you are a man of great luck."

Then he changed the subject and said, "Daoyou, did you become a saint using the Hongmeng Purple Qi?"

Tathagata smiled. This was the point. He did not hide it. He smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, it is the Hongmeng Purple Qi."

Jie Yin and Zhunti looked at each other and said, "Daoyou are really lucky. You can even get the Hongmeng Purple Qi."

Tathagata just smiled and said nothing.

Jie Yin and Zhunti couldn't help but shake their heads. They couldn't directly ask where the Hongmeng purple energy came from, as it was someone else's secret.

Jie Yin smiled and said, "This is a great joyous event for our Buddhist sect. With one more saint in charge, our Buddhist sect will surely prosper."

Zhunti also nodded and said, "Yes, if you count it this way, we already have three saints, no less than the Three Pure Ones."

After they finished speaking, they looked at Tathagata with sharp eyes, worry flashing in their eyes.

Tathagata smiled, knowing that the two were testing him, fearing that he would turn around and betray Buddhism and go find Tongtian.

"You two fellow Taoists are right. It is time for our Buddhist sect to flourish."
