Chapter 560: Western religions are dissatisfied, feeling it's unfair?
It should be noted that Ksitigarbha, a disciple of the Western Sect, also fought bravely against the Xuanhuang Realm in the great battle.
In terms of military achievements, he was not much inferior to Haotian.
"hateful!"
"This sage's fruit of enlightenment was actually given to Haotian."
Zhunti was indignant inwardly, but outwardly he appeared as usual.
The guide shook his head and sighed with a troubled expression, thinking to himself:
"So it really was given to Haotian!"
Earlier, the guide had already had such material in mind.
Firstly, Haotian's military achievements were indeed numerous.
Secondly, Haotian was once a pageboy of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
Both logically and emotionally, the possibility of bestowing the title of Sage Haotian upon him is greater than that of Ksitigarbha.
Of course, although he was somewhat unwilling, Jieyin did not dare to refute anything.
Upon hearing the announcement from Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Ksitigarbha's expression changed slightly, but he quickly recovered.
For him, obtaining the Dao Fruit of Sainthood would be the best possible outcome.
But if you don't get it, there's no need to be discouraged.
Niu Ba remained calm upon seeing this.
He had previously led the Bull Clan army in the great battle against the Xuanhuang Realm.
Unfortunately, this saint was entangled with the saints of the Xuanhuang Realm and was unable to spare any effort to help the other beings of the Bull Clan kill foreign enemies and gain merits.
"It seems that a new sage will soon emerge in Heaven!"
Niu Ba sighed inwardly, feeling envious.
Although he attained sainthood here by relying on a Saint's Crystal.
But as the patriarch of the bull clan, Niu Ba naturally wanted his clan to be as powerful as possible.
The two sages, Di Jun and Di Jiang, glanced at Haotian simultaneously, a strange light flashing in the depths of their eyes.
After the great war with the Xuanhuang Realm ended, the demon race and the witch race returned to their respective realms.
Both races naturally hoped to obtain the Dao Fruit of Sainthood.
If the demon race's Donghuang Taiyi and the other ancestral witches of the witch race, except for Dijiang, could obtain the Dao Fruit of a sage, they could all become sages in the future.
Unfortunately, this sage's Dao fruit was ultimately bestowed upon Haotian by the Dao Ancestor.
"That's enough!"
"We'll have to think of other ways to help my second brother achieve sainthood later."
Di Jun muttered to himself, glancing intentionally or unintentionally at Donghuang Taiyi beside him.
On the other side, Dijiang also glanced at Xuanming and the other Ancestral Witches.
Thinking that if other ancestral witches could also attain sainthood, they would have to find another way.
Just as the saints were lost in their own thoughts, a voice of discontent suddenly rang out from inside the hall:
"Dao Ancestor, this is not fair!"
The speaker was a quasi-saint of the Western religion.
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, all the saints in the hall were taken aback.
Unexpectedly, these disciples of the Western Sect were so bold as to dare to question the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
Seeing this, the quasi-saint of the Western religion also went all out and said angrily:
"The number of Quasi-Saints that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva of my Western Sect has killed in the Xuanhuang Realm is not much different from that of Haotian."
"Why wasn't this sacred fruit of enlightenment given to Ksitigarbha?"
Before Dao Ancestor Hongjun could respond, a quasi-saint from the Western Sect chimed in:
"Yes, Dao Ancestor!"
"This Heavenly Court already has many powerful beings. Although Haotian is the Heavenly Emperor, there are many Quasi-Saints in the Heavenly Court."
"Why must we give the Heavenly Court another saint?"
"That's right, our Western religion is already impoverished, and it desperately needs a sage to oversee it!"
"..."
Seeing the dissatisfaction of the Western Sect disciples, Hongjun's expression remained unchanged; he merely raised his hand slightly.
"boom!"
The next moment, an invisible pressure spread out.
Upon sensing the oppressive aura, the Western Sect Quasi-Saint, who had been indignant just moments before, immediately fell silent.
"The Heavenly Court governs the Three Realms and maintains the order of Heaven and Earth; it bears a heavy responsibility."
"Without a sage to oversee things, how can we awe the four directions? How can we uphold the Way of Heaven?"
"This matter is settled and there is no need to discuss it further."
Hongjun's voice was very calm, but it carried an undeniable air of authority.
Upon hearing this, none of the many quasi-saints of the Western Church dared to refute it further.
At this moment, Haotian stepped aside and bowed once more to Dao Ancestor Hongjun:
"The Dao Ancestor is wise!"
"Haotian will certainly not fail the trust placed in him by Heaven, nor the expectations of the Dao Ancestor!"
After saying this, Haotian straightened up, his gaze sweeping over the dissatisfied Quasi-Saints of the Western Sect, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
Seeing Haotian's appearance, the quasi-saints of the Western Sect were all furious, but there was nothing they could do.
"Everyone, step back!"
After a brief silence, Hongjun's voice rang out.
Subsequently, many saints, quasi-saints, and near-saints left Zixiao Palace.
"boom!"
Just after everyone left, a strange change suddenly occurred deep within the primordial sky.
All that could be seen was an endless cloud of auspicious clouds.
Immediately afterwards, golden light of merit descended from the auspicious clouds.
All the primordial beings who had previously participated in the great war against the Xuanhuang Realm received the power of merit rewarded by the Heavenly Dao.
The merit that was heading towards the Western Religion was intercepted and taken back by the Heavenly Dao halfway there.
The Western religion is located at Mount Sumeru.
"Damn it!"
"It actually allowed Haotian to obtain the Dao Fruit of Sainthood."
"The merits that should have been given to my Western religion have also been taken away by Heaven."
Zhunti was furious.
Upon hearing this, the guide standing nearby gave a wry smile and said:
"Junior brother."
Why are you so angry?
"The fact that the sage's position was not granted to our Western religion can only be attributed to the fact that the time was not right."
Zhunti paused, his lips trembled as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he was speechless.
……
On the other side, where the Heavenly Court is located.
When Haotian returned, he was overjoyed.
Although he did not receive the reward of the Saint's Crystal, he did receive the Saint's Dao Fruit and was also bestowed with the Primordial Purple Qi, the foundation for becoming a saint.
"Next, all you need to do is accumulate enough merit and good fortune."
"Then I can leapfrog into the realm of a sage!"
Haotian said excitedly, his eyes full of anticipation.
……
Meanwhile, where the human race is located.
The era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors officially came to an end with the return of Yu the Great.
Humanity has entered a new phase.
On the main island of Penglai Immortal Island, the Three Pure Ones gathered together.
The Supreme Sage looked towards the direction of the human race and said calmly:
"After the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the human race shall have a new ruler."
"Who is this new master?"
Upon hearing what the Supreme Sage said, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable smiled slightly and replied:
"Supporting a new master will surely bring a lot of good fortune."
Before the Supreme Sage could reply, the Master of Heaven spoke up:
"Second Brother, in this primordial world, the one who most desires the power of destiny is none other than Haotian of the Heavenly Court!"
Yuanshi Tianzun and Taishang Taishang could neither agree nor disagree with what Tongtian Jiaozhu said, both giving a meaningful smile.
The Heavenly Court, the Lingxiao Palace.
Haotian sat high on the imperial throne, his face solemn.
Although he has attained the position of a saint, the position of sainthood does not come out of thin air; he still needs sufficient merit and good fortune to truly attain enlightenment.
He needs to earn this merit and good fortune himself.
