Primordial: I, Dijun, Only Want to Build the Great Desolation-Chapter 376 - 270 Reactions from All Sides, Daoist Ran Deng_2

Chapter 376: Chapter 270 Reactions from All Sides, Daoist Ran Deng_2

This is all thanks to Emperor Jun’s various measures, which brought a wealth of merit to the Demon Clan.

Moreover, becoming part of the Demon Clan is not a simple matter; it requires passing through various assessments.

Unfortunately, the barrier of innate aptitude still stops most of the Demon Clan’s living beings.

Then comes the second barrier, whether it’s living beings who choose the Chan Sect or those who opt for the Jie Sect, none have been able to pass.

Immortal Court.

As opposed to Emperor Jun’s decree, the heart of the East King harbors an unwillingness for the beings of Immortal Court to take refuge under the Saints.

If there were beings in Immortal Court that took refuge under the Saints, where would the East King place them?

However, the East King must conceal these emotions.

After all, considering the support provided by Taiching Daoist Heavenly Venerate for the Immortal Court, and since The Three Pure Ones act as one, the East King naturally could not harbor any objections.

And the majesty of Saints, inviolable, it’s no laughing matter.

The East King sat alone in the grand hall of the Immortal Court, his expression sullen.

Power, Saints!

If he, like Emperor Jun, possessed the power of Saints, why would he need to glance at the expressions of others?

Even if the Immortal Court had Saint’s disciples, with his power as a Saint, he could treat them as he wished.

To think that he and Emperor Jun originated from the same era, now Emperor Jun was able to contend with the once Demon Ancestor Luo Hou during doctrinal discussions and suppress six Saints.

Yet here he was, as the ruler of the Immortal Court, still faced with numerous restrictions.

Thinking this, his gaze involuntarily turned towards the long vacant Fire Cloud Cave.

His gaze then shifted to Longevity Mountain Wuzhuang Temple, filled with greed.

That was where his hope for becoming a Saint lay.

He thought in his heart: Daoist Hong Yun, I do not believe you can continue hiding in the Wuzhuang Temple.

Thinking of the last time in the Chaos, when Daoist Hong Yun did not conceal himself, the East King understood that Daoist Hong Yun could no longer hold back.

The East King collected his expression and continued to wait.

Witch Clan.

The Twelve Ancestor Witches had no thoughts about the matter of Saints taking on disciples.

Although they also claimed to be the descendants of Pangu, their connection with The Three Pure Ones was not substantial.

They were aware that their own cultivation path was different from the paths practiced in the Primordial, and they’d certainly not go to Kunlun Mountain to seek mentorship from Saints.

Other races in the Primordial each had their own considerations, some even waiting and watching, not making any rash moves.

Mount Sumeru.

Daoist Jie Yin and Daoist Zhun Ti looked upon the numerous living beings of Kunlun Mountain with envy.

They, the two brothers, founded Buddhism and also sought to recruit talents broadly, but very few beings joined Buddhism.

The difference was clear to them.

Because Buddhism is situated in the Western Primordial, a barren land within the Primordial, naturally beings are reluctant to join.

Another main reason is that they, the two brothers, defected from Xuanmen to establish Buddhism.

Although they are the registered disciples of Hong Jun, they are not disciples of Xuanmen.

And now, the path of cultivation practiced by the beings within the Primordial is primarily the one passed down by Xuanmen.

The choice is self-evident.

Although Daoist Zhun Ti and Daoist Jie Yin understood all this in their hearts, they were unable to change the current situation.

Lingjiu Mountain.

Daoist Ran Deng finished his cultivation practice, opened his eyes, and with a dispirited expression, he couldn’t help but sigh.

This attempt at breaking through to the Quasi-Saint Realm has indeed failed.

Daoist Ran Deng thought to himself.

He is a being who was born in the same era as The Three Pure Ones, the Western Two Saints, Daoist Ming He, Donghuang Taiyi, Zhen Yuanzi, and other such great powers.

He was also one of the three thousand guests of the Purple Cloud Palace’s mundane world, he had attended all three lectures of Hong Jun, without missing one, and had listened to them in full.

The Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun, during his first lecture, spoke of the path of the Daluo Golden Immortal. Daoist Ran Deng, who had just broken through to become a Daluo Golden Immortal, was able to understand it.

During Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun’s second lecture, he spoke of the Quasi-Saint Path. By then, Daoist Ran Deng, a mid-stage Daluo Golden Immortal, found it extremely difficult to understand, and was quite confused by the latter part.

In Daoist Hong Jun’s third lecture, he yet again delved into the teachings of the Quasi-Saint Path, in greater depth. Daoist Ran Deng, then at the late stage of Daluo Golden Immortal, was directly unable to comprehend.

In his cultivation, he had never slacked off, yet after three lectures, he still hadn’t broken through to the Quasi-Saint Realm.

Then, the Nuwa Saint became a Saint, creating worlds within the Primordial, teaching all beings.

With his profound foundation, he was one of the few Daluo Golden Immortals who persevered to the end.

After returning, he digested and contemplated, but still did not break through to the Quasi-Saint Realm.

What pleased him was that soon after, five Saints ascended, creating worlds within the Primordial, teaching all beings.

Although there was a change in events, turning lectures into debates, he still resisted the indoctrination of the Demon Path by Luo Hou, understanding the Laws that resonated with him, and persisted until the end.

Now he has fully digested what he learned back then, but regrettably, he still remains in the Golden Immortal Realm.

Under such circumstances, let alone the Saint’s Path, even the Quasi-Saint Path seems an insurmountable gulf for him.

With so many opportunities, Daoist Ran Deng still couldn’t break through to the Quasi-Saint Realm, and he couldn’t help feeling despair.

He even questioned whether there was something wrong with his own path.

Beings generally do not doubt their own paths, especially those in the Golden Immortal Realm who have found their own way, and are even less likely to harbor doubts.

This is also the reason why beings in the Golden Immortal Realm find it difficult to become disciples under a Saint.

Unless they are one of the rare Golden Immortals whose path in cultivation is highly compatible with a Saint’s teachings.

Yet, Daoist Ran Deng, this Golden Immortal with profound foundations, began to doubt his own path.

He is not of lowly origins; he is a Primordial Spirit formed from an innate coffin.

Nor are his opportunities meager; he has never missed the teachings of Saints, including Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun.

Yet, he cannot break through.

And it was at this time that he heard the news that a Saint was taking disciples.

After learning of this, his heart was in turmoil.

Firstly, he understood that a Saint taking disciples meant passing on one’s teachings, and although he doubted his own path, he had not yet decided to completely abandon it to inherit the teachings of a Saint.

Secondly, there was the issue of his identity.

As one of the Three Thousand Guests of the Purple Cloud Palace, he once listened to Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun’s teachings alongside The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa Saint, the Western Two Saints, and other prominent figures, belonging to the same generation.

If he successfully became a disciple under a Saint now, he would be like those juniors, cultivating under the guidance of a Saint.

Those who were once of his generation would now be above him.

Two very important issues required Daoist Ran Deng to make a decision.

After a long period of turmoil over these two issues, Daoist Ran Deng finally made his decision.

He would become a disciple under a Saint.

When he made this choice, he abandoned his current path and changed his allegiance.

When he resolved not to follow his old path anymore, his Cultivation Realm began to slowly decline.

This process was very slow; even after several eons, his Cultivation Realm would not completely fall from the Golden Immortal Realm.

However, there was no doubt that if a Cultivation Realm could not advance, it could only retreat.

Unless he finds his new path once again.

This does not mean simply choosing any path, but rather finding one that deeply resonates as the right one from the bottom of one’s heart.

When Daoist Ran Deng gave up his path, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

When he was doubting his path, he was under tremendous stress, not knowing if he was correct.

When he abandoned his path, he actually felt relieved, for better or worse he had already given up, and there was no more pressure in his heart.

He stood atop Lingjiu Mountain, looking towards Kunlun Mountain without any hesitation, and directly proceeded there.

Now, giving up his original path and becoming a disciple under a Saint seemed like a very good choice.

Upon reaching the foothills of Kunlun Mountain, without any hesitation, he directly entered the first trial.

As an Innate Primordial Spirit, naturally, his talent goes without saying, and his character also posed no issue, allowing him to smoothly pass the first trial.
