The Quasi-Saint Path, Taiqing Breaks Through!

At these words, everyone's heart tightened, and they quickly calmed their minds, preparing to listen.

Then, waves of Dao sounds, like a great bell, resounded throughout Purple Firmament Palace.

Boundless Purple Qi surged in from the Chaos, golden lotuses bloomed layer upon layer, and Great Dao runes swirled through the void, transforming into clear cultivation diagrams.

"The Quasi-Saint realm is not achieved overnight; it is a path of progressive stages, the core of which lies in using Innate Spiritual Treasures to sever the Three Corpses."

"You have all cultivated to the Da Luo realm, your Primordial Spirits already pure and refined, yet lingering thoughts still bind you, making it difficult to glimpse higher levels of Law."

"What is called severing a corpse is to strip away the evil thoughts, good thoughts, and obsessions that arise during your cultivation, one by one, and entrust them to Innate Spiritual Treasures."

"Use the sturdiness of the spiritual treasure to bear the thoughts, use the laws of the spiritual treasure to nourish the thoughts, so that the thoughts transform into a corpse body, complementing the original body."

"This path is divided into three stages: severing the first corpse enters Early Quasi-Saint."

"The first corpse severed is often the Good Thought, as it resonates most easily with one's own Dao Heart and is the easiest to stabilize the Dao Foundation."

"After being borne by an Innate Spiritual Treasure, it can strip away the original body's compassionate obsessions, making the Dao Heart impartial and allowing for easier comprehension of Laws."

"Severing the second corpse advances to Mid Quasi-Saint. The second corpse severed is often the Evil Thought, which contains killing and violent energy."

"After being borne by a spiritual treasure, it can strip away the original body's ferocity, reduce interference with the Dao Heart, and prevent falling into the demonic path during cultivation."

"Finally, severing the third corpse reaches Late Quasi-Saint. The last corpse severed is the Obsession."

"Obsession is the root of cultivation for all Sentient Beings, whether tied to perseverance on the path or attachment to treasures and relationships."

"Entrusted to a spiritual treasure, it allows the original body to break free from the shackles of obsession and perceive the Great Dao from a broader perspective."

"The key to severing corpses lies first in the choice of spiritual treasure. Even low-grade, mid-grade, or high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures can serve as tools for severing the Three Corpses, as long as they align with one's primary cultivated Law."

"But know this: corpses severed with such spiritual treasures only possess the cultivation of a Da Luo Golden Immortal, with limited Combat Power."

"Only Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, due to their profound Law foundations, can sever Quasi-Saint-level corpses with strength close to the original body."

"Second lies in 'stripping away thoughts.' You must meditate and visualize your Primordial Spirit, discerning the root of your thoughts."

"Evil thoughts often arise from killing and conflict, good thoughts from protection and compassion, and obsessions from perseverance on the path or attachment to treasures and relationships."

"Use the power of your Primordial Spirit to slowly strip them away. Do not rush for quick results. If you strip too hastily, at best your Dao Heart will waver; at worst, your realm will regress."

"Once the thoughts are stripped, use your own essence blood as a guide, inject it into the spiritual treasure, and bind the thoughts completely to the treasure. Then, the corpse-severing is considered successful."

The Dao sound paused briefly. Hongjun's gaze swept over the crowd, and his tone grew heavier.

"After all three corpses are severed, you will face the barrier of the Three Corpses Unity."

"If the three spiritual treasures entrusted are of the same origin or are top-tier treasures from the same lineage, the three corpses can merge under the guidance of the Primordial Spirit, and your realm will ascend directly to Peak Quasi-Saint."

"Moreover, through the Law resonance of the same-origin treasures, you can touch the threshold of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin."

"But such supreme treasures are rare in the Primordial Wilderness, either scattered in the Chaos or hidden in forbidden lands. Among ten thousand, not one can gather all three."

"If not, though the three corpses can coexist and you can cultivate to Peak Quasi-Saint, it will be difficult to break through the final barrier, effectively cutting off the path to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin."

At these words, the crowd reacted differently. Most Taiyi and Da Luo Golden Immortals felt a wave of relief.

As long as they could find a low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, they could break through to Quasi-Saint and escape the shackles of life and death—that was already a tremendous opportunity.

As for the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin, it was too distant for them, and they paid it little mind.

Only the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and other top Innate Great Powers clenched their fists secretly.

They had always aimed for the pinnacle of the Primordial Wilderness, so they naturally understood the importance of the Unity barrier.

But the fact that Innate Spiritual Treasures of the same lineage were already scarce in the Primordial Wilderness weighed heavily on their hearts, though they did not entirely give up the search.

Hongjun seemed not to notice the changes in the crowd's mood and continued, "You may have heard of the path of the Golden Immortal of the Origin, seeking to break through by deeply comprehending the Great Dao Laws through the Unity of Law and Self."

"But now the Great Dao has receded, and the Heaven and Earth Laws grow increasingly obscure. Even Innate Great Powers find it difficult to touch the Great Dao Origin."

"Moreover, this path requires endless time, and the slightest misstep can shatter the Dao Heart. For the current Primordial Wilderness, it is nearly a dead end."

"Thus, the Quasi-Saint Path is your best and only choice to break through the Da Luo bottleneck."

With these words, he completely cut off everyone's hopes for the Golden Immortal of the Origin path, and they all realized they had no choice but to take this road.

In comparison, Haotian and Jade Pool were much more relaxed, as they had already broken through to the Golden Immortal of the Origin before this.

They could still walk the path of the Golden Immortal of the Origin through the Unity of Law and Self, without being limited by the Quasi-Saint Path—this was a unique opportunity in the Primordial Wilderness.

Therefore, after calming their minds, the two quietly continued listening to the teachings on the Quasi-Saint Path.

And Hongjun's Dao sounds, still like a great bell, echoed endlessly through the hall.

These Dao sounds, unlike the Da Luo foundation teachings of the first sermon, focused more on the Threshold of Origin.

Every syllable carried Law runes—golden corpse-severing runes, cyan Law-and-Self runes, purple Origin runes—interweaving in the air into a net, slowly merging into everyone's hearts.

Outside the hall, the Chaos Airflow seemed drawn by the Dao sounds, transforming into rainbow streams of spiritual qi that poured in through the doors, mingling with the golden lotuses and Purple Qi inside, creating a hazy atmosphere for enlightenment.

If anyone were to observe closely at this moment, they would find that this Heaven and Earth Phenomenon was secretly divided into three, six, and nine grades.

On the left and right sides of the high platform, the Purple Qi surrounding Haotian and Jade Pool was the most intense.

It was a rare purple mist with golden edges, entwined with faint cyan Space Law flowing light and pale blue Ren Water Spiritual Qi.

Every golden lotus that landed on them turned into fine Law light points, seeping deep into their Primordial Spirits.

The path to Quasi-Saint, though not of great use to them, still slowly enhanced their cultivation through the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon and the Law Golden Lotus.

Next in line were the six figures at the front—the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti—whose Heaven and Earth Phenomenon were secondary.

Around them swirled ordinary Purple Cloud Mist, and when the golden lotuses fell, they could only transform into spiritual energy, nourishing the flesh and Primordial Spirit.

For those in the back row, like Dijun, Taiyi, and Zhenyuanzi, the Purple Qi was even fainter, and the golden lotuses' gifts were barely enough to soothe the chaotic laws within their bodies.

As for the lower-realm Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals and Primordial Unity Golden Immortals, they ranked even lower; the Purple Qi and golden lotuses they could claim were pitifully few, only enough to catch the edges of the Dao Sound.

As the Dao Sound flowed, three thousand years had already passed by more than half.

At a certain moment, Grand Pure One Laozi suddenly opened his eyes, and the Purple Qi around him erupted into a boil.

He raised his hand and produced a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, named the Taiqing Treasure Pearl, which contained the Way of Non-Action, perfect for entrusting a Good Thought.

Laozi formed a hand seal with his fingers, and from his Primordial Spirit, a wisp of pure white spiritual light separated, slowly infusing into the Precious Mirror.

"Hum—" The Precious Mirror blazed to life, and from within it stepped the phantom of a White-Robed Elder.

The elder's face was identical to Laozi's, his body wrapped in the Dao resonance of Pure and Non-Action. He bowed to Laozi and said, "This poor Daoist is Taishang Laojun. Greetings, Original Body."

"Good." Laozi nodded slightly, his voice calm yet carrying a sense of release, and with a wave of his hand, he withdrew this Good Corpse Incarnation back into his Primordial Spirit.

In an instant, an aura of Early Quasi-Saint spread outward, and the laws within the hall seemed to fall silent—this was the first great power in the Primordial Wilderness to break through to Quasi-Saint!
