192: Fellow Daoist, please wait.
"Heavenly Dao above, We, Jieyin and Zhunti, achieve Dao validation today. Not for ourselves, but for the living beings of the West. May the Heavenly Dao bear witness!"
"If I attain the Dao, may all living beings in the West attain the Six Supernormal Powers!"
"If I attain the Dao, may immeasurable light shine upon the ten directions!"
"If I attain the Dao, may my lifespan be immeasurable to deliver all living beings!"
...
One grand vow after another descended, and the Heavenly Dao responded once more, bestowing Karma upon the two.
The living beings of the Primordial World were awakened by these vows.
To think it was actually possible to do this—making grand vows to the Heavenly Dao to borrow Karma and become a Saint.
One had to admire the thickness of these two's faces.
It is easier said than done.
These grand vows did not sound like easy tasks.
The two of them were actually able to make so many with such peace of mind.
They truly weren't afraid of overextending themselves.
It was no wonder Jieyin and Zhunti were greedy; once these vows began, they could not be stopped.
If they stopped midway, they would be stuck in an awkward Realm and owe much Karma, which would be a huge loss.
Thus, the two simply threw these thoughts to the back of their minds and reeled off one grand vow after another.
The vows continued.
They had established forty-seven grand vows in a row, yet they still felt their own shackles had not been broken.
The two steeled their hearts, closed their eyes, and said: "If I attain the Dao, the great prosperity of the West... will be just around the corner!"
As this forty-eighth grand vow fell, the two felt as if the Heavenly Dao itself had personally acted to bestow Karma upon them, creating boundless auspicious signs.
Sure enough, their Dao lay in this West.
However, could such grand vows truly be repaid?
After all, the great prosperity of the West was not a simple matter.
They could have kept delaying their previous verbal promises.
But now that they had become grand vows recognized by the Heavenly Dao, things were different; they had to show the appropriate attitude.
It was foreseeable that they would likely have no peaceful days ahead, constantly busy for the sake of the West's prosperity.
But things had reached this point; it was out of their hands now.
Forget it, become a Saint first.
At this moment, atop Mount Sumeru.
As Jieyin and Zhunti completely issued the forty-eight grand vows.
Boundless Heavenly Dao Karma gathered again, forming thick golden clouds of Karma above their heads.
The Heavenly Dao recognized it, and the auspicious signs were finally complete.
Jieyin and Zhunti had become Saints.
...
Immortal Volcano.
The furnace fire within the qiankun cauldron was extremely vigorous, with two streams of light, one blue and one red, constantly intertwining and undergoing Fusion.
Yuan Phoenix was refining several strands of their dao rhyme.
Having witnessed the auspicious signs of the five Saints in one day, she originally did not have much of a reaction.
But hearing that Jieyin and Zhunti had become Saints by "borrowing" and making grand vows,
she could not help but raise an eyebrow, "To think this could actually work, it is…"
Unable to think of more words to describe her current mood, she could only blurt out, "Not bad!"
Qing Wu also nodded. Although he had anticipated it, hearing the two from the West thoroughly incorporate the great prosperity of the West into their grand vows, he could not help but feel some admiration.
Once this step was taken, they would have plenty to be busy with in the future.
"Regardless, the Saints have finally returned to their positions."
"The Primordial World will also become more stable."
The return of the Saints was undoubtedly a major event for the Primordial World.
Although they were still far from true transcendence, this marked a step forward for the Primordial World.
The world was more stable, and the Primordial World was more complete.
They would also have greater confidence to deal with some entities that might appear in the future.
...
In Chaos, sensing that the Saints would again play an important role in the stability of the Primordial World,
Karma and Fate also realized that some processes needed to be accelerated.
"Fellow Daoist, why not appear and meet!" Karma said toward the Void Realm.
Space trembled, and Yang Mei appeared from the Void Realm. Looking at the two he hadn't seen for a long time, his face was full of wariness.
There is a saying: Time is supreme, Space is king. When Fate does not appear, Karma reigns supreme...
Now that these two were always tangled together, he did not want to provoke them easily.
"Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, long time no see. Are you interested in doing something big?" Fate raised a hand and invited.
"There have been some changes in the Primordial World; someone has achieved Dao validation of the Primordial Origin."
"We need your help."
"Not interested, farewell!" Upon hearing this, Yang Mei turned to flee.
"Fellow Daoist, please stay."
With this sudden remark from Karma, Yang Mei suddenly felt a stir in his heart, and Karma was born on its own.
It made him unable to help but stop in his tracks...
The Saints entrusted their own Dao fruits to the Heavenly Dao, forming an inseparable bond with this world.
Their Primordial Spirit imprints were deeply engraved within the Laws of the Heavenly Dao, like the roots of a towering tree digging into the earth, both drawing nutrients from it and, in turn, stabilizing the soil.
This connection was extremely profound.
A Saint could sense the operation of the Heavenly Dao with a single thought, and subtle changes in the Heavenly Dao would ripple in the Saint's Dao Heart.
The Primordial World also showed unprecedented tolerance toward the Saints.
The Heavenly Dao seemed to be actively coordinating with every move of the Saints.
But this connection was not a one-way gift.
Whenever a Saint used great magical power to interfere with the operation of the Primordial World, corresponding waves would arise in the long river of the Heavenly Dao.
These waves would not only affect the Primordial World but would also affect them personally.
While the Heavenly Dao granted special privileges to the Saints, it also required them to shoulder the heavy responsibility of maintaining balance.
As for the living beings of the Primordial World, the existence of the Saints completely changed their understanding of cultivation.
In the past, Cultivators pursued Heaven-Defying actions, but now they began to emphasize conforming to the Heavenly Dao.
Many Cultivators discovered that their deduction techniques were meaningless in front of the Heavenly Dao and the Saints.
Their minor means could not even enter the Dharma Eye of the Saints.
Thus, the living beings of the Primordial World became increasingly respectful and obedient toward the Saints and the Heavenly Dao.
If ordinary creatures could occasionally receive the favor of a Saint, they might obtain unexpected Opportunity.
It could be said that the influence of the Saints on the Primordial World had permeated every aspect.
The most significant change was the increasing stability of the Primordial World.
In the past, a clash at the quasi-Saint level could tear the Void Realm, leading to the fragmentation of the Primordial World and the shifting of stars.
But now, for clashes of this level, the structure of the world would only tremble slightly and then be quickly suppressed.
This was because the Dao fruits of the Six Sages jointly constituted a new barrier of the Heavenly Dao, just like six heavenly pillars supporting a more solid firmament.
As long as the Six Sages could not be shaken, the Foundation of the Primordial World would be safe.
The Saints themselves also presented a subtle balance.
On one hand, they were beyond the catastrophe and, in theory, were no longer tainted by Karma.
On the other hand, having become Saints by establishing sects, they had to pay attention to the Luck of their sects.
The constraints of the Heavenly Dao on the Saints were hidden within this seemingly supreme authority.
They were both spokespersons for the Heavenly Dao and a part of the Heavenly Dao's balance.
The current Primordial World was like a large net rewoven by the Dao fruits of the Saints.
Every living being moved on this net, and the six Saints were both the nodes of the network and its maintainers.
