Capítulo 1546: Chapter 1544: How Are Saints Made?
Though we’re already at the foot of Spirit Mountain, since it’s New Year’s, of course, we have to celebrate properly!
As a result, the New Year’s Eve dinner was prepared to be quite sumptuous!
A big table full of fine wine and exquisite dishes was set, and everyone sat down to feast!
At the sa ti, fireworks and firecrackers were all lit, making the atmosphere feel very fitting!
Of course, the Journey to the West team was getting closer and closer to Spirit Mountain, and at this ti, the entire attention of Spirit Mountain was almost all focused on them!
Therefore, the lively scene here was noticeable to the people on Spirit Mountain!
Unexpectedly, the Journey to the West team appeared to be quite at ease!
Knock, knock, knock!
Just when Jiang Liu and his disciples were celebrating in the Exquisite Immortal Mansion, relaxing before the final battle, suddenly, there was a knock on the door!
Upon hearing the knock, naturally, Sha Wujing hurried over to open the door!
Soon after, a figure walked in from outside the door!
“Kunpeng? What brings you here?” Looking at the figure that entered, Jiang Liu showed a touch of surprise on his face and asked!
“Sect Hierarch, isn’t it the New Year? So, I thought I’d co here to celebrate today, surely you wouldn’t mind?”
Walking in, Kunpeng said to Jiang Liu with a touch of laughter!
“How could I? Please, take a seat!” Hearing Kunpeng’s words, Jiang Liu laughed and then invited Kunpeng to sit down!
Since it’s the New Year, let’s celebrate it well together!
Drinking and eating, Kunpeng didn’t say much more, he picked up his chopsticks, first downed a full cup of fine wine, then picked up a piece of at and tossed it into his mouth, nodding repeatedly, “Good wine, good at! The Sect Hierarch’s cooking skills are truly unmatched, nothing more can be said!”
“Then eat more!” Jiang Liu said, glancing at Kunpeng!
As the highest cultivation level in the Ming Sect, and representing the power of the Demon Clan within the Ming Sect, Jiang Liu naturally valued his status and strength!
Celebrating the New Year together, after all, we are acquainted, so there was no awkward atmosphere!
However, as they had their fill of food and drink, the master and disciples sat together to watch the night, with the three brothers Sun Wukong, along with White Dragon Horse, exactly four of them sitting at the mahjong table, chatting as they played, the atmosphere was great!
This ga of mahjong was actually invented during a previous New Year’s Eve, when the master created it out of boredom!
So, on New Year’s Eve, the master and his disciples playing mahjong seed to have beco a set tradition for the Journey to the West team!
While Sun Wukong and the others were playing mahjong, Jiang Liu stepped out of the Exquisite Immortal Mansion and sat down by the stone table in the courtyard!
A short while later, perhaps finding mahjong boring, or perhaps because there was sothing to discuss with Jiang Liu!
Soon, Kunpeng ca to the courtyard and sat down next to Jiang Liu!
“Sect Hierarch, in a few days you’ll probably arrive at the Great Thunder Monastery, right?” Kunpeng asked Jiang Liu in a casual tone!
“Yes, that’s right!” Hearing this, Jiang Liu nodded and said!
He felt a bit of the nervousness of approaching his hotown; these many years of preparation have all been in the effort to overthrow the Great Thunder Monastery!
But today, finally being close to arriving at the Great Thunder Monastery, and with the Ming Sect’s current power being very strong, as well as the Journey to the West team’s strength being formidable…
Yet Jiang Liu felt sowhat anxious and unsure, with a lack of confidence in his heart!
“Aside from coming to celebrate New Year, I also wanted to see if you have any specific instructions, Sect Hierarch?” Kunpeng asked Jiang Liu after a slight nod!
“Specific instructions? No rush on that, if there’s anything, I’ll send you a ssage!” Jiang Liu lightly shook his head in response to Kunpeng’s inquiry!
Indeed, it’s possible to send ssages remotely, even video chat, so there’s no need for face-to-face talks; remote information dispatch can suffice!
After saying this, Jiang Liu’s gaze then fixed on Kunpeng!
Since it wasn’t necessary for him to co personally, what was the purpose of his special visit to the Exquisite Immortal Mansion this ti?
Being under Jiang Liu’s gaze, Kunpeng could also understand Jiang Liu’s thoughts!
After a brief mont of silence, he continued, “Now, you, Sun Wukong, and Zhu Bajie, all three have reached Quasi-Saint level, right?”
“That’s correct!” Nodding, Jiang Liu continued looking at Demon Master Kunpeng!
Isn’t this already a well-known fact? What’s there to ask?
“Now, with Zhunti having fallen from the Saint position, a Saint position in the world is vacant! All Quasi-Saints in the world are eligible to compete for it!” Demon Master Kunpeng continued!
“Wait…”
Hearing Kunpeng’s statent, Jiang Liu interrupted slightly and asked, “Regarding the attainnt of Saintliness, I only know half-understand, but you know more, could you share with ?”
“Of course!” Hearing Jiang Liu’s request, Kunpeng imdiately nodded and said!
Then, regarding the attainnt of Saintliness, he explained everything he knew in detail to Jiang Liu!
And from Demon Master Kunpeng’s words, Jiang Liu finally gained a relatively accurate concept of the attainnt of Saintliness!
In short, the task of proving the way and attaining saintliness is sothing that all Quasi-Saints are qualified to pursue, regardless of their cultivation level!
From a gaming perspective, whether you’re at level 91, just having reached the Quasi-Saint stage, or you’re level 100, having reached the Quasi-Saint Peak, you are qualified to beco a Saint!
The difference between level 91 and level 100 only represents the strength disparity within the sa stage, but it doesn’t determine your likelihood of proving the way!
Using Kunpeng’s analogy, back in the Primordial tis, the cultivation level of Goddess Nvwa could only be considered barely reaching the Quasi-Saint threshold!
However, because of the rit from creating the Human Clan, she directly proved the way and beca a Saint!
At the ti, both Dijun and Taiyi, because of their talents and abilities, were considered the top existences among Quasi-Saints!
However, they never had the opportunity to prove the way and beco Saints!
Indeed, from a gaming perspective, being above level 91 only grants you the qualification to beco a Saint, but whether you can actually beco one involves many factors!
Besides being at level 91, the Hongng Purple Qi, the foundation of the Great Dao, is also indispensable!
Finally, you need a powerful treasure as the proving the way item!
For instance, each of the current Saints has their own proving the way item!
Even when all these hard conditions are t, you still need an opportunity!
Only when the right ti, place, and people coincide can you prove the way and beco a Saint!
Truth be told, back then, Hongyun’s Hongng Purple Qi was snatched by Eastern Emperor Taiyi!
Did Eastern Emperor Taiyi not break through to the Quasi-Saint stage in terms of cultivation level?
Did he not have the Eastern Emperor Bell as a proving the way treasure?
And with the Hongng Purple Qi in hand, all the hard conditions for proving the way were already t!
But did Taiyi ultimately succeed?
So, having the hard conditions t does not guarantee success!
Additionally, you still need an opportunity!
These opportunities are subject to Heavenly Intent!
“Sigh…”
Listening to Kunpeng’s explanation about proving the way, Jiang Liu couldn’t help but let out a long sigh, saying, “Even when all these hard conditions are t, it ultimately depends on Heavenly Intent?”
“So that ans, all the efforts made to beco a Saint seem to be useless!”
“Oh? Why do you say that, Hierarch?” Upon hearing this, Kunpeng glanced at Jiang Liu with so surprise!
“Think about it! Even if you have a treasure, even if your cultivation level is inadequate, even if you possess the Hongng Purple Qi, ultimately whether you can prove the way and beco a Saint still depends on Heavenly Intent, but…”
Pausing slightly, Jiang Liu continued, “But if Heavenly Intent truly favors you and wants you to prove the way and beco a Saint, I suppose, even if you do nothing, you could still succeed, right?”
“This, this statent doesn’t seem wrong…” Listening to Jiang Liu’s words, Demon Master Kunpeng hesitated slightly, then nodded!
Yes, indeed, if Heavenly Intent truly favors you, destined you to beco a Saint, it seems even if you do nothing, you will eventually beco one!
However, if the Heavenly Dao does not favor you, even if you’re like the previous Eastern Emperor Taiyi, where all the hard conditions are genuinely t, you still cannot succeed!
Although saying this might be hard to accept, it is indeed the truth!
“Hierarch, although what you say isn’t wrong, we can’t be so pessimistic, can we? Even a person attempting suicide by drowning struggles a bit before dying to save themselves!”
“Soone attempting suicide by hanging would still kick their legs a few tis!”
Although he felt Jiang Liu’s words were indeed not wrong, Demon Master Kunpeng still spoke sowhat helplessly!
“Right, your words also make sense…” Listening to Kunpeng’s words, Jiang Liu also nodded, agreeing!
Indeed, that’s exactly how things are!
Even if so things seem hopeless, you still have to try to strive for them!
“So, are you now thinking of making a good struggle for it? Kicking your legs a bit?” Jiang Liu suddenly teased, looking at Kunpeng with a smile!
“Could it be? You don’t intend to, Hierarch?” Demon Master Kunpeng didn’t deny it, only staring at Jiang Liu and responding with a question!
“Alright, that’s indeed the case! When the opportunity to beco a Saint is right before you, everyone wants to strive for it; it’s only natural!” Jiang Liu also didn’t deny, nodding and saying!
Indeed, if the chance to prove the way and beco a Saint is right before us, could I resist it?
It’s impossible!
Since I can’t ignore it, I won’t utter false words either!
Haven’t you noticed that even Supre Elder Laozi, who has always preached non-action from ancient tis to this day, couldn’t resist the temptation of becoming a Saint?
“So?”
Bringing the conversation to this point, Jiang Liu gazed at Kunpeng, saying, “You didn’t co here just to have a chat about this, did you?”
