Rebirth of the Wilderness

Jie Yin and Zhunti, seeing the boundless merit and fortune surging in like a tide, felt ripples of joy in their hearts and were extremely excited.

However, amidst this excitement, a subtle sense of strangeness gradually emerged.

As their merit and luck slowly dissipated, the two discovered that although the precious primordial purple energy in their bodies was ready to move, there seemed to be an insurmountable gap between them and it.

It floats outside the soul, flashing a mysterious and alluring light, but is reluctant to blend in and become a true part of them.

This sudden change was like a bolt from the blue, filling Jie Yin and Zhunti's hearts with disappointment and confusion.

They looked at each other in silence, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

The desire and yearning for the holy land seemed to vanish into thin air at this moment, leaving behind endless doubts and helplessness.

However, as practitioners, they are well aware that the path of practice is full of unknowns and challenges.

In the face of difficulties and setbacks, only persistence and hard work can find a way out.

So, Jie Yin and Zhunti calmed their minds and readjusted their states.

They began to deeply analyze their own cultivation and state of mind, looking for the root cause of why the primordial purple energy could not be integrated.

They believe that as long as they can find the crux of the problem and put in enough effort and wisdom, one day they will be able to break free from the shackles and achieve true transformation and sublimation.

When Jie Yin and Zhunti were deeply confused and struggling, they might not have realized that for the three brothers Tai Shang, Yuan Shi and Tong Tian, ​​the merit and fortune gained from establishing the religion was actually just a small introduction on the road to the holy realm.

What truly enabled them to cross that chasm and achieve the supreme sainthood was the vast merits left behind by the great god Pangu when he created the world.

This merit not only illuminates their path of practice, but also becomes an indispensable cornerstone on their path to sainthood.

On the other hand, Jie Yin and Zhunti have worked hard in the western part of the wilderness over the years, repairing the earth veins and accumulating considerable merit and fortune.

However, compared with Pangu's contribution to creating the world, these merits and fortunes seem insignificant, like a drop in the bucket, and can hardly support them to cross the threshold of becoming a saint.

In addition, their establishment of the religion was more inspired and stimulated by the sainthood of the three Taishang brothers, rather than out of their own deep understanding and firm belief in the Tao.

Therefore, the merits and fortune they obtained are difficult to compare with those of the three Taishang brothers in terms of quality and quantity.

Although Jie Yin and Zhunti jointly founded a sect and tried to use it as an opportunity to become saints, the reality cruelly told them that this alone was far from enough.

The road to the holy realm requires not only profound cultivation and outstanding talent, but also endless pursuit of and deep insight into the Tao.

All of this requires time and effort, and cannot be achieved overnight.

Not long after, Jie Yin and Zhunti realized this, but seeing that the three brothers Nuwa, Tai Shang, Yuanshi and Tongtian had all become saints one after another, they did not have the patience to slowly accumulate merit and fortune.

They knew very well that accumulating merit and fortune in the conventional way would be a long and arduous process, and they obviously did not have enough time to wait, so they could only find another way.

Therefore, driven by the desire and urgency to become a saint, Jie Yin and Zhunti made a bold and risky decision - to advance some merits from the Heavenly Way.

Once this idea came into being, it grew wildly in their minds like weeds and could not be stopped.

They understand that doing so is undoubtedly making a deal with the laws of nature and putting themselves in a position full of unknowns and risks.

But these seem insignificant compared to the temptation of sanctification.

They cautiously and tentatively made requests to the Heavenly Dao, their hearts filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

However, to their surprise, Heaven actually granted their request.

So the two of them couldn't wait to make a wish to the Heaven:

The first vow is that when I become a saint, there will be no hells, hungry ghosts, animals, or even insects and crawling creatures in my kingdom. If I cannot fulfill this vow, I will never become a saint.

Second wish: When I become a saint,

………………

A heavy load of merit and fortune fell upon them like a heavenly rain, making them feel unprecedented strength and satisfaction.

But behind this satisfaction lies a heavy price.

From the moment Jie Yin and Zhunti decided to advance merit and fortune from the Heavenly Dao, they knew clearly that they had embarked on a road full of unknowns and challenges.

They knew that this heavy debt would require countless efforts and struggles in the future to repay bit by bit, and the heaviness of this debt was far beyond their imagination.

However, for Jie Yin and Zhunti, this debt was not their biggest concern.

What they are more worried about is whether the promises they made can guarantee their successful sanctification.

After all, although the merits and fortune bestowed by heaven can temporarily alleviate their urgent needs, it cannot guarantee that they will succeed.

This uncertainty fills their hearts with anxiety and uneasiness.

As the number of wishes they made increased, the merit and fortune bestowed by heaven began to gradually decrease.

This made them realize that the gift of heaven was not endless, but had its own rules and limitations.

Every time they make a wish, they are consuming a certain balance and harmony between them and the way of heaven.

The disruption of this balance also made them feel the pressure and test from the way of heaven.

However, Jie Yin and Zhunti did not give up.

They knew they had no way out.

Only by continuing to move forward can we find the path leading to the realm of saints.

So they continued to make promises and continued to pray to heaven for the grant of merit and fortune.

Finally, at the moment when they made the 48th promise, they felt an unprecedented change.

They clearly felt that the primordial purple energy that was originally free from their souls seemed to be pulled by some mysterious force at this moment, slowly approaching their souls and finally merging with them.

At that moment, their hearts were filled with shock and joy, as if something was quietly awakening in their bodies, leading them into a whole new realm.

They knew that at this moment, they had finally successfully stepped onto the steps of sainthood.

When the primordial purple energy completely merged with them, strange phenomena began to appear in the ancient world.

Colorful clouds linger, fairy music floats, and thousands of beasts cry...

All of these visions declared that two practitioners had successfully entered the realm of saints.

At this moment, Jie Yin and Zhunti finally let go of their worries.

They knew that their years of hard work and dedication had finally paid off.

However, they also know that this is just the beginning.

The road ahead is still long, and they still need to continue working hard to repay the heavy debt to heaven.

Jie Yin and Zhunti knew very well that withdrawing merit and fortune from the Heavenly Dao in advance was like dropping a heavy piece on the chessboard of fate, which brought both a turning point and hidden dangers.

They know in their hearts that they have already shouldered the commitment and responsibility to the Way of Heaven. This heavy debt can only be repaid bit by bit in the days to come through unremitting efforts and firm beliefs.

But they believe that as long as they have faith, persistence and hard work in their hearts, nothing can stop them from moving forward.

However, because they owe such a heavy debt to the Heavenly Dao, their path of cultivation is still long and full of variables, and they need to move forward more cautiously.

However, Jie Yin and Zhunti did not regret their decision.

They believe that as long as there is hope in their hearts, no matter what challenges and difficulties they will face in the future, they will work hand in hand and face them together.

Because on this path to holiness, they have found their own direction and faith.

Although the path to sainthood for Jie Yin and Zhunti was full of twists and turns and hardships, it was these experiences that forged their indomitable will and extraordinary cultivation.

The two of them secretly made up their minds that in the days to come, they would continue to explore the mysteries of the Great Dao as saints, lead the creatures of the prehistoric world towards a more glorious future, and strive to repay the cause and effect of Heaven as soon as possible.
