Chapter 627: Chapter 501 He is Another Heavenly Dao, Repairing the Heavenly Dao_2

"The words I just said were only meant to comfort him,"

Although the path to Achieve Saintliness in the Three Realms seemed to have been severed, he understood that the path of the Three Realms had not been completely broken.

"The path to Achieve Saintliness has not been severed, this is certain!"

Daoist Ancestor Hongjun thought for a while and murmured to the empty palace.

Having Merged with the Dao, if the path to Achieve Saintliness were severed, he would definitely sense it.

However, Wang Yang’s situation indeed posed an extremely thorny issue for him.

It should be noted that nowadays, with Wang Yang, who had merged with fifty types of the Great Dao, they all regarded him as the hope of the Three Realms. Even in Hongjun’s view, there was no need for Wang Yang to advance to a Three-Step Sage; being a Two-Step Saint was already enough to rival a Three-Step Sage.

But now, Wang Yang becoming a Saint had become a major problem, which also made Daoist Ancestor Hongjun extremely anxious.

"Merging the Great Dao can, in turn, nourish the heavenly Dao."

"Logically speaking, the Saint Fruit Flavor should have been bestowed by now."

"With the power of fifty types of the Great Dao, if I were the celestial Dao, I would not abandon it either."

"Do I still need to ask the celestial Dao for clarification?"

Wang Yang did not know that because of his affairs, Daoist Ancestor Hongjun in the Purple Cloud Palace was so anxious that he wanted to seek clarification from the celestial Dao.

After returning to Golden Turtle Island from the Underworld, he announced he was entering seclusion.

Apart from the Quasi-Saints on Golden Turtle Island, the rest of the Quasi-Saints returned to their own Dojos.

Wang Yang of the Celestial Court needed no further oversight, leaving everything in the hands of the Judicial celestial God and Taibai Jinxing.

Houtu also returned to the Underworld, while Guanyin, somewhat homeless, remained on Golden Turtle Island.

But at this time, naturally, no one would drive Guanyin away.

...

Above the Chaos, within the Purple Cloud Palace, Daoist Ancestor Hongjun’s mind raced with increasing unease, always feeling that there was something odd about this matter.

He then left the Purple Cloud Palace and traveled alone deep into the Chaos.

As a Three-Step Sage who had Merged with the Dao, Daoist Ancestor Hongjun was naturally able to represent the will of the celestial Dao within the Three Realms because he could understand the celestial Dao Will after merging.

And now what he had to do was to find the celestial Dao and get a clear answer to this matter.

The issue concerning Wang Yang was now of utmost importance.

He traveled through the Chaos for who knows how long until he reached the Origin Lands. He opened the gateway to the Origin Lands and directly dashed inside.

Seeing that of the original five mountains, now only four and a small mound remained, Hongjun’s lips twitched uncontrollably.

Fortunately, this was not the first time he had seen this scene.

Afterward, he took a deep breath, continued walking further inside, and did not linger there.

Deep within the Origin Lands, a barrier of the Void lay before him, yet Daoist Ancestor Hongjun passed through it as if it were invisible.

If Daoist Yang Mei were to see this scene, he would undoubtedly shout excitedly,

because behind this barrier of the Void was the core of the Three Realms.

The existence of the Origin Lands is due to the celestial Dao being located just behind them in the Origin Lands.

Of course, this is not a place that anyone can come to; throughout the Three Realms, only Daoist Ancestor Hongjun, who had Merged with the Dao, could traverse this barrier of the Void.

And looking at the clump of Misty Qi before him, a solemn expression inevitably appeared on Hongjun’s face.

"Wang Yang of the lower realm, merging fifty types of the Great Dao, why does the celestial Dao not grant him the Saint Fruit Position to aid his attainment of Saintliness?"

"If he could Achieve Saintliness, the Power of the Great Dao would greatly increase, and he could fully nourish you in return."

"Such a mutually beneficial situation without any harm, I truly cannot comprehend it."

Hongjun spoke as if talking to an old friend, his tone casual and familiar,

as if catching up on old times.

Throughout these countless years, he had stopped here numerous times, using his power of the Great Dao to mend the heavenly Dao.

However, the originally dazzling Misty Qi, after continuous grand battles in the Three Realms, had become somewhat dim.

If it did not receive timely rectification, relying solely on Daoist Ancestor Hongjun, it would be a struggle to merely maintain the status quo.

If Daoist Yang Mei were to lead the Demon Clan in an attack then, the entire Three Realms would likely be helpless.

This was also why Hongjun hoped that Wang Yang would swiftly become a Saint and also help the heavenly Dao recover its strength.

However, Wang Yang was unable to become a Saint, which was undoubtedly a loss for the Three Realms.

Of course, the Celestial Dao only has a will and cannot communicate like humans.

Daoist Ancestor Hongjun stood here merely to sense the will of the Celestial Dao.

Before long, Hongjun’s eyes were firmly fixed on the Misty Qi, with a hint of incredulity in his gaze.

"You’re saying he’s like you? Impossible, you are the Celestial Dao, he is merely from the Human Race."

"Moreover, since he has accepted the power of merit you bestowed, there must be karmic ties between you."

"Helping him achieve saintliness, and him reciprocating, would be a very normal thing."

"Could he possibly threaten you? If he becomes a Saint, might you disappear as the entire Three Realms change?"

The more he contemplated the will of the Celestial Dao, the more incredulous Hongjun felt.

From this cluster of Misty Qi, as soon as Hongjun mentioned helping Wang Yang achieve saintliness, the Misty Qi seemed somewhat fearful.

But constrained by the rules of the Celestial Dao, the merit also had to be bestowed, and the Celestial Dao could only act naturally, utterly unable to do anything to Wang Yang.

Yet, it was precisely because the Celestial Dao sensed a hint of danger that it hesitated to grant Wang Yang the Saint Fruit Position.

Were it not for this hint of danger, without waiting for Wang Yang to comprehend the power of fifty types of the Great Dao, relying on the power of the Great Dao within him even before he entered the Origin Land would have sufficed for the Celestial Dao to grant him the Saint Fruit Position.

"If Wang Yang becoming a Saint poses a danger to you, what kind of danger is that? I trust him; he couldn’t possibly betray the Three Realms!"

"But none of this makes sense, I don’t believe your words! The Three Realms are already in a state of turmoil!"

"Once the Demon Clan’s army arrives, if I go to stop them, you will be the first to collapse, but if I stay here to maintain the operation of your Great Dao, then the Three Realms will suffer horribly."

"Now, only Wang Yang, who has comprehended thirty types of the Great Dao, has a chance to save you, to save the entire Three Realms."

"And yet, you refuse to grant Wang Yang the Saint Fruit Position because of this feeling? Do you not realize that you are digging your own grave!"

"By then, if the Three Realms cease to exist, the Celestial Dao will no longer exist, the Origin Land will turn into fragments, and all the Great Dao of the Three Realms will revert to the Void!"

The more Hongjun spoke, the angrier he got. He had merged with the Dao to be able to assist the Three Realms.

To complete the Great Dao of the Three Realms.

It can be said that since becoming a Saint, Hongjun has been continually helping the Three Realms and the Celestial Dao.

And now, as the Three Realms face a crisis, they had finally found someone with the potential to help the Three Realms weather this crisis. It was unexpected that the first to object would be the Celestial Dao itself.

With this thought, Hongjun turned to leave.

His face still looked furious.

The cluster of Misty Qi seemed to understand Hongjun’s anger, appearing somewhat anxious.

In this expanse of the Void, it continuously tumbled, as if trying to explain something.

Hongjun stood for a while longer, then turned to look at the Misty Qi, remaining silent for a long time.

"I understand now, since you are unwilling to grant it, then don’t grant it."

"However, although he could become the new Celestial Dao, you shouldn’t treat him with such hostility!"

"You were born because of the Three Realms, so everything should prioritize the Three Realms!"

After saying this, Hongjun let out a somewhat helpless sigh.

In the matter of helping Wang Yang achieve saintliness, he was completely out of options.

"Since I’m here, I might as well help you repair the Great Dao a bit more!"

Having said that, Hongjun approached the Misty Qi and sat down on the ground in a meditative posture.

At the same time, he released all the power of the Great Dao within him.

If Wang Yang were here, he would be surprised, because the sum of the fifty types of the Great Dao he possessed was still not as powerful as any one type of the Great Dao within Hongjun.

This is the distinction between the strengths within the same type of Great Dao.

After all, personal strength varies, and the comprehension of the Great Dao also differs.

Having merged with the Dao for so many years, Hongjun’s own comprehension of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was naturally extremely powerful.

And the Celestial Dao, feeling the aura of the Great Dao from the Misty Qi, was delighted like a child, greedily absorbing this power of the Great Dao.

Hongjun remained here for a long time, and the Misty Qi also absorbed for a long time.

And all this seemed very ordinary, because Hongjun had done this many times before.
