I'm In Heaven, I Just Want To Work Overtime

Chapter 49: The Return of the Saints, the Eastern Emperor Goes to War

After a thousand years, the population of humans on the Primordial Continent has reached an astonishing billion. Thanks to the help of the Witch Clan, the development of the Human Clan has been very smooth. Although the Yao Gods in the Yao Court often plunder the Human Clan as food, they are ultimately a minor annoyance due to the strength of the Witch Clan. The Human Clan has finally established a firm foothold in the Three Realms and has taken on the form of the protagonists of Heaven and Earth.

Kunlun Mountain, one of the ancestral veins of the Primordial Continent, surpasses Xumi Mountain and Shouyang Mountain. Only the yet unbroken Zhoushan Mountain can compare. On this day, the sky above Kunlun Mountain is filled with purple aura, the glow of the clouds reflecting in the sky, and golden lotuses and golden clouds surging from the ground.

"I, Taiqing Daoist, hereby establish a teaching today, known as the Human Teaching, to enlighten all living beings and suppress luck with the Taiji Diagram, using the White Jade Flat Peach as the proof of the Dao! I respectfully request the judgment of the Heavenly Dao. Human Teaching, established!" A majestic voice resounds through the Primordial, echoing from the Yao Court to the Netherworld, all resonating with the voice of Taiqing Daoist.

The Heavenly Dao trembles. Above the firmament, countless rays of glowing light bloom, auspicious clouds roll, and purple aura comes from the east, with a huge cloud of merit descending towards Taiqing Daoist. The majestic aura of the Saints surges from Kunlun Mountain, sweeping across heaven and earth.

While the beings of the Primordial are still in shock, a powerful aura emanates once again. "I, Yuqing Daoist, also establish a teaching today, named the Expounding Teaching. 'Expounding' means clarity, expounding the principles of the Dao, expounding the truths, and opening up Myriad Manifestations. I use the Expounding Teaching to enlighten all beings, so that all beings can discern good from evil, distinguish fortune from misfortune, and follow the Dao of Heaven and the Dao of Humanity. I suppress luck with the Pangu Banner and use the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi as the proof of the Dao. Let the Heavenly Dao judge it! Expounding Teaching, established!"

The sky is filled with wonders, and golden lotuses surge from the ground. Once again, a huge cloud of merit appears in the sky and descends towards the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

Not long after the vision dissipates, another cloud of merit envelops Kunlun Mountain, and four sharp Sword Intents shoot straight into the sky. "I, Shangqing Daoist, also establish a teaching today, named the Intercepting Teaching. I use the Four Swords of Zhu Xian as the treasures to suppress the teaching, with the Qingping Sword as the supreme proof of the Dao. The Great Dao is fifty, and the Heavenly Manifestations are forty-nine. If one is removed, I will intercept that thread of life for all living beings! Intercepting Teaching, established!"

The Heavenly Dao trembles once again. A huge cloud of merit appears and descends towards the Tongtian Daoist.

Originally, the Tongtian Daoist did not possess the Four Swords of Zhu Xian, only the two killing swords of Yuantu and Abi. However, Xia Yi transmitted the true meaning of the Immortal Execution Sword Formation to the Tongtian Daoist in the Azure Lotus space. The Tongtian Daoist spent thousands of years and re-refined the two killing swords and the Zhu Xian Formation, which is only slightly weaker than the original Immortal Execution Sword Formation.

Countless beings feel a bit dizzy. Three Saints have been born in a single day.

"We pay our respects to the Saints!" All living beings face the east and bow their heads in respect.

On the Yao Court, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi says, "The Three Clears have become Saints, and it's our turn now!"

Emperor Jun furrows his brows slightly and says, "With the resources of the Yao Court now, it is only enough for one person to become a Saint. Second Brother, you possess the Chaos Bell and your cultivation is higher than mine, so you should become a Saint first."

"Big Brother..." Eastern Emperor Taiyi was about to say something but was stopped by Emperor Jun. "If the Yao Court wants to unify the Primordial, you must become a Saint first. If Luo Hou seizes the opportunity, it will be troublesome!"

Thinking of this, Eastern Emperor Taiyi no longer hesitates. He releases all his aura and loudly proclaims to the heavens, "I, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, hereby establish the Yao Teaching today, to enlighten all beings in the Three Realms, suppress luck with the Chaos Bell, and use the River Diagram and Luo Book as the proof of the Dao! I respectfully request the judgment of the Heavenly Dao. Yao Teaching, established!"

As soon as the words fall, the Heavenly Dao reacts. A huge cloud of merit falls into Eastern Emperor Taiyi's body, followed by a wave of sacred aura.

Mount Sumeru.

Seeing the Eastern Emperor and the Three Clears becoming Saints, the Primordial Daoist is also a bit impatient and says, "Senior Brother, let's begin!"

"Good!"

Jieyin nodded.

Back then, in the Purple Cloud Palace, Zhun Ti Daoist relied on his thick-skinned face to squeeze out Hong Yun from his position and successfully obtained the Primordial Violet Qi, occupying a sacred position.

But Jieyin Daoist didn't have such good luck.

Originally, Zhun Ti wanted to squeeze out Luo Hou from his position, but he was cut by the Sword of Slaying Gods and lost his face.

Fortunately, later on, Dao Ancestor Hongjun descended upon Mount Xumi and bestowed Jieyin Daoist with a strand of Primordial Violet Qi.

"I, Jieyin (Zhun Ti), now establish the Western Teachings to enlighten all beings in the world. I will suppress luck with the Twelfth Grade Golden Lotus and use the Seven Treasures Mysterious Tree (empowered by the Sacred Staff) as proof of my enlightenment.

All sentient beings who generate the Bodhi mind, wholeheartedly do good, and receive my power of guidance, can go to the Boundless Buddha Land, the Paradise of Utmost Bliss."

As a result, two waves of Great Dao fluctuations simultaneously rose in the Western Teachings, connecting with the Heavenly Dao, and a powerful aura of the Heavenly Dao swept across the world.

A vast cloud of merit and virtue manifested, then split into two halves, each falling into the bodies of Jieyin and Zhun Ti.

"The merit of establishing a teaching is indeed not enough for the two of us to achieve sainthood."

Zhun Ti's face was filled with distress.

"Since that's the case, we can only do it that way!"

Jieyin Daoist then looked up at the sky, with a determined expression.

"My first vow, if I attain supreme enlightenment, and there are beings in the realm who are hungry ghosts or animals in hell, I will never take supreme enlightenment.

My second vow, if I attain supreme enlightenment, and there are sentient beings in the realm who have fallen into evil realms, I will never take supreme enlightenment.

...

My forty-seventh vow, if I attain supreme enlightenment, and the Bodhisattvas in other realms, upon hearing my name, become pure and joyful, abiding in equality, unable to manifest all phenomena, I will never take supreme enlightenment.

My forty-eighth vow, if I attain supreme enlightenment, and the Bodhisattvas in other realms, upon hearing my name, attain the first, second, and third levels of forbearance, unable to regress in all phenomena, I will never take supreme enlightenment."

Jieyin Daoist made forty-eight grand vows in succession, shaking the world, and under the response of the Heavenly Dao, another cloud of merit and virtue descended.

In an instant, two immensely powerful holy auras rose from Mount Xumi, permeating the entire world.

At this point, the era of the Saints arrived!

Seven Saints manifested in the world, gathering disciples and enlightening all beings, their holy aura awe-inspiring.

However, many innate beings couldn't help but have a question in their hearts, what about Luo Hou?

Why didn't Luo Hou achieve sainthood?

It should be noted that back then in the Purple Cloud Palace, Luo Hou also obtained the Primordial Violet Qi.

And he even cut off Zhun Ti Daoist's Seven Treasures Mysterious Tree with a single sword, taking the Innate Gourd from Mount Zhou ahead of all the gods.

Thousands of years later, he made a bold move, evaporating the Blood Sea and annihilating the Lord of the Dark River.

His ferocity was unmatched!

Who would have thought that even the two in the Western Teachings achieved sainthood, while Mount Shouyang remained silent.

"The path of sainthood is not something that anyone can achieve. Those who follow unorthodox methods will never be able to make a difference!"

Yuan Shi Daoist from Kunlun Mountain spoke up, causing a commotion among the creatures of the world.

Even Zhun Ti Saint said, "Saints transcend the mundane, they are the utmost virtuous and benevolent. How could someone like Luo Hou, who seeks revenge for the slightest grievance, achieve sainthood?"

Because the Saints knew that now that there were already seven Saints in the world, the entire world had reached its limit, and it was impossible for another Saint to be born.

The Heavenly Dao couldn't bear it, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun would not allow it.

"Now is the best time for my Demon Cult to unify the world!"

Dong Huang Taiyi, having achieved sainthood, naturally understood this principle. He immediately commanded hundreds of thousands of Myriad Monsters and set off for Mount Shouyang!
