Chapter 558 A Message from Zixiao Palace! Rewards to be Distributed?
Meanwhile, in the Western Religion, within a sacred mountain.
"strangeness!"
"So much time has passed, why hasn't the Dao Ancestor summoned us yet?"
Kunpeng glanced at him, his brows furrowed deeply.
"I wonder if the battle merits I've earned are enough to earn me a Saint's Crystal?"
Thinking of this, Kunpeng's expression immediately became much more serious.
In the previous great battle with the Xuanhuang Realm, although he had killed quite a few beings from the Xuanhuang Realm, he was not the most outstanding or dazzling among them.
"snort!"
"I never imagined that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was hiding so well."
"They actually killed so many Quasi-Saints from the Xuanhuang Realm during the great battle."
Upon thinking of Ksitigarbha, Kunpeng's expression suddenly turned cold.
He originally thought that his opponents in this battle would be the likes of Haotian, Zhenyuanzi, and Styx Ancestor.
Who would have thought that this would produce a Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva within the Western religion?
The number of Quasi-Saints he killed on the battlefield was only slightly less than that of Haotian.
"call……"
After a moment's thought, Kunpeng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"That's enough!"
"What I gain is my fortune, what I lose is my fate."
"If we cannot obtain the Sage's Dao Fruit this time, we will have to find another opportunity later!"
……
Mount Sumeru, beside the Golden Pool of Eight Treasures and Merits.
Jieyin and Zhunti sat facing each other.
"Senior brother, the probability of our Western Sect obtaining a saint's position this time is very high!"
Zhunti glanced at Jieyin and said with great excitement.
Upon hearing this, Jieyin nodded, naturally knowing that the person Zhunti was referring to was Ksitigarbha.
"yes!"
"If Ksitigarbha could attain the status of a saint."
"It would be wonderful if our Western religion could gain another saint."
"Among all beings below the level of a sage, only... Haotian of the Heavenly Court can rival him."
Upon hearing Jieyin's words, Zhunti narrowed his eyes slightly, a look of worry immediately appearing on his face. He then whispered:
"Senior brother, could it be that our Dao Ancestor will give the Sage's Dao Fruit to Haotian?"
Upon hearing this, Jieyin was taken aback, and his brows furrowed slightly.
He knew very well that Haotian had gained more battle merits than Ksitigarbha in the great battle against the beings of the Xuanhuang Realm.
Even if the Dao Ancestor were to reward Haotian with the Dao Fruit of a Saint, that would be perfectly justifiable.
In addition, Haotian was once a pageboy of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, so their relationship was naturally close.
After a moment's thought, Jieyin let out a long sigh before speaking:
"Junior brother, it's best if we don't speculate on what our teacher is thinking."
"Besides, it's not necessarily true that the reward this time will only be a single Sage Dao Fruit."
After hearing what Jieyin said, Zhunti nodded and said nothing more.
……
The sacred land of the human race, within the realm of the Human Emperor.
The atmosphere was somewhat somber.
Huang Tian, Zhen Yuanzi, and other high-ranking members of the human race were all present.
In the silence, Cangjie, the ancestor of Chinese civilization, turned his gaze and looked directly at the heavens:
"Senior Brother Huangtian, it seems our human race will not be able to obtain the Saintly status this time!"
After Cangjie said this, all the high-ranking members of the human race present lowered their heads.
Although they had all been fighting fiercely in the previous battle.
However, they also knew that the human race's military achievements were far less than those of other forces such as the Heavenly Court.
Upon hearing this, Huang Tian remained calm and did not rush to reply. He glanced at the many high-ranking members of the human race before smiling faintly and saying:
"It's alright."
"If we cannot obtain the Sage Dao Fruit this time, there will certainly be other opportunities later."
"I believe that one day, our human race will surely have a sage of our own to preside over it!"
Upon hearing Huang Tian's words, Cang Jie and the other high-ranking members of the human race immediately shook off their dejection and nodded in agreement.
……
On the other side, in the demon realm.
Inside the main hall, Di Jun was talking with Donghuang Taiyi.
"Brother!"
"This great battle ended some time ago, so why is there no sign of Zixiao Palace?"
"Could it be that there won't be any rewards this time?"
Donghuang Taiyi said, sounding slightly anxious.
Upon hearing this, Di Jun glanced at himself and said calmly:
"Second brother, don't be in such a hurry!"
"It seems that the Dao Ancestor is also weighing something."
Donghuang Taiyi neither confirmed nor denied what Dijun said, then changed the subject:
"By the way, elder brother."
"Our demon race has killed many enemies this time and accumulated a lot of merits."
"Obtaining this Saint's Crystal shouldn't be a problem, right?"
To Donghuang Taiyi's surprise, Dijun's expression immediately became serious after hearing what he said.
Judging from his expression, he clearly didn't think much of the reward that the demon race could receive the Saint's Crystal.
Seeing Di Jun's expression, Donghuang Taiyi quickly pursed his lips and said:
"What's wrong?"
"Does Elder Brother lack confidence in our demon race?"
Upon hearing this, Di Jun smiled bitterly and replied:
"This great battle with the Xuanhuang Realm is very different from the great battle with the Devouring Universe Realm!"
"After thousands of years of great battles, one of the saints of the Xuanhuang Realm has truly perished."
"During this period, I was constantly hampered by the saints of the Xuanhuang Realm and was unable to spare the time to help the demon race accumulate battle merits."
Upon hearing Di Jun's words, Donghuang Taiyi's expression immediately turned gloomy.
After all, he was hoping that the demon race could obtain the Saint's Crystal this time.
In this way, Donghuang Taiyi could use the Saint's Crystal to attain sainthood in one fell swoop.
Seeing that Donghuang Taiyi remained silent for a long time, Dijun took a deep breath and said again:
"Second brother."
Don't overthink it.
"When the time comes, we will naturally know that the Dao Ancestor and the Heavenly Dao will reward us in this way."
……
For a time, all the powerful beings in the primordial world were waiting.
On this day, a voice transmission came from within the Purple Cloud Palace and then fell directly into the primordial world.
Upon hearing this message, many powerful figures were greatly encouraged.
"It's...it's the Dao Ancestor's voice transmission!"
"Send all the saints and quasi-saints of the heavens to Zixiao Palace immediately."
"Very good!"
"Looks like it's time to start distributing the rewards for defeating the Xuanhuang Realm!"
"..."
In their excitement, many saints, quasi-saints, and near-saints all headed towards Zixiao Palace.
……
In the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun sat high on the cloud platform, with many powerful beings gathered below.
The atmosphere inside the main hall was solemn and dignified, yet it also subtly conveyed excitement and anticipation.
After a moment of silence, Hongjun's gaze swept over the crowd, and he slowly spoke:
"Gentlemen."
"In the previous battle against the Xuanhuang Realm, our Primordial World won a great victory."
"Because the Primordial Heavenly Dao devoured the Heavenly Dao of the Xuanhuang Realm, it also made our Primordial World stronger."
At this point, Hongjun paused slightly before continuing:
"Now, I will select one from among all the quasi-saints and bestow upon him the status of a saint."
As soon as Hongjun uttered these words, the hall erupted in uproar.
Flames ignited in the eyes of all the quasi-saints.
Haotian, Ksitigarbha, Zhenyuanzi, Styx, Kunpeng... all had their eyes burning with anticipation, hoping to be chosen!
