Purple Firmament Palace Second Lecture

Empress Houtu left in thought, heading to Purple Xiao Palace to hear the Dao.

After hearing Fang Xun's theory of monopolizing power, she seemed to agree with it. The only question was whether this somewhat reckless Houtu would truly beat her brothers and sisters half to death.

As for the Witch Clan's internal competition, it had nothing to do with Fang Xun anyway.

After Houtu left, the Time-Space loop broke apart as well.

Fang Xun hurriedly looked up at that Da Luo battle. The Battlefield remained as it had been when Di Jun had just entered it. Zhu Rong was already outmatched and could only endure through the strength of his physical body.

"Brother Zhu Rong!" At that moment, a Giant Beast covered in bone spikes suddenly crashed out from the void. She smashed apart the world formed by the River Diagram and Luo Book and pulled Zhu Rong out from within!

Ancestral Witch Xuan Ming!

At the same time, a Candle-Dragon with a human face and dragon body poked its head out from an illusory yet vast river.

The river was faint and traceless, yet it truly ran through the entire Primordial Wilderness. Droplets of river water converged into a current, flowing slowly before suddenly surging forward.

That Candle-Dragon seemed like the shadow of the River of Time, able to roam freely through this river condensed from the concept of time.

Ancestral Witch Zhu Jiuyin!

"Farewell, Dao Friends. We shall take our leave!" Zhu Jiuyin's tail, almost fused with the River of Time, swept out. Time reversed, wrapping up Zhu Rong and Xuan Ming before they vanished from the Primordial Wilderness's current point in time in an instant.

"Trying to run?!" The Chaos Bell above Tai Yi's head burst with radiance. He had clearly been truly enraged and intended to use the Chaos Bell to shake the three Ancestral Witches hiding within time out into the open.

"Stop!" Di Jun urgently called out, pulling the red-eyed Tai Yi toward Purple Xiao Palace through Great Luo Divine Mystery.

No matter what these Ancestral Witches were after, the most important thing now was hearing the Dao at Purple Xiao Palace!

"Tsk, too deliberate." Fang Xun shook his head slightly as he watched the Primordial Wilderness Starry Sky gradually recover.

He returned to Wa Imperial Palace and resumed his life of inscribing Dao Marks and cultivating diligently.

During this round of teachings at Purple Xiao Palace, Fang Xun truly had no intention of causing any trouble.

At this moment in Purple Xiao Palace, the two brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi ultimately made it in time, proving that they were still Fated Ones.

There were quite a few new Fated Ones this time. Some newly advanced Taiyi had gradually grown stronger over Three Thousand Yuan Hui and become "Fated Ones," such as Randeng Daoist.

Everyone took their seats, and Hongjun the Dao Ancestor silently appeared upon the Cushion.

"This time, I will teach you the Method of Dao Attainment through Three Corpses."

Hongjun's expression was indifferent, like the Heavenly Dao itself. His aura was even more unfathomable than it had been Three Thousand Yuan Hui ago, and his fusion with the Heavenly Dao had reached a new stage.

"The Three Corpses are also called the Good Corpse, Evil Corpse, and Obsession Corpse. They are the obsessions of all living beings. Once all Three Corpses are severed and all obsessions are gone, one may attain the True Meaning of 'Nothingness'..."

"The key to severing the corpses lies in Innate Objects..."

In the Primordial Wilderness's cultivation system, the Great Luo Dao Realm was already the ultimate extreme of "being." One could roam eternally and freely through endless Time-Space, with no distinction remaining between the past, present, and future.

Moreover, upon attaining Da Luo, one became Immortal and Indestructible. Even if one failed in a struggle for the Dao, one could return at a future point in time.

At such a Dao Realm, "being" seemed to have reached its end. At that point, one began with "Nothingness" and pursued even greater profundities.

The Method of Dao Attainment through Three Corpses was a path that pursued "Nothingness," and it already contained part of the True Meaning of "Nothingness."

This True Meaning instantly captivated the Great Luo Supremes, who had never encountered such a concept before.

Of course, there was an exception, and it was Nuwa.

She had previously obtained the True Meaning of Taiji and secluded herself in Chaos for nearly Three Thousand Yuan Hui, gaining some insights. Now, as she listened to the Method of Dao Attainment through Three Corpses, she felt as if a veil had been lifted. The two confirmed each other, and her gains were immense.

This teaching passed without incident. The one teaching was united with the Dao, while those listening were utterly enraptured.

"...However, good and evil are easy to sever, while obsessions are difficult to find. The True Meaning of 'Nothingness' within them is even more obscure."

At the end, Hongjun offered a reminder.

"...Do you have any doubts?" He looked toward Nuwa, but Nuwa was quietly contemplating this time and did not ask anything.

"May I ask, Dao Ancestor, what is the Method of Attaining Dao through Merit?" Grand Pure Daoist asked.

"Those who render great merit to the Primordial Wilderness will receive merit bestowed by Heaven to aid their Dao attainment, becoming Heavenly Dao Sages. Sages command the great power of the Primordial Wilderness..." Hongjun answered calmly, explaining how to use merit to become a Heavenly Dao Sage.

After another three questions and three answers, the teaching came to a complete end.

"This teaching ends here. Three Thousand Yuan Hui from now, I will teach the True Meaning of 'Nothingness' and the Path of the Sage. How much you gain will depend entirely on your own fortune."

"After three teachings, I will have settled all Yinguo and merged with the Heavenly Dao. I will no longer remain in the Primordial Wilderness. Take care of yourselves."

The Dao Ancestor vanished once more, and the Great Luo Supremes looked at one another.

"Merging with the Heavenly Dao... what manner of Dao Fruit might that be?" One unknown Great Luo Supreme let out a faint sigh, suddenly feeling as though they stood at the foot of a towering mountain.

Even as Great Luo Supremes, who held a degree of Heavenly Dao authority within the Primordial Wilderness, they were still inconsequential before the Dao Ancestor.

One had fused with the Heavenly Dao, while the others merely held authority granted by it. The gap between them was impossible to measure.

"Dao Friend Nuwa, what do you make of merging with the Heavenly Dao?" The Great Luo Supremes each departed Purple Xiao Palace, but Grand Pure Daoist lingered a step behind and looked at Nuwa, who seemed to be lost in thought.

"..." Nuwa was naturally not distracted but comprehending the True Meaning of "Nothingness." Hearing Grand Pure Daoist's question, she could not help looking at the foremost of the Three Pure Ones, once known as the first among Innate Divine Saints.

"I have an ill feeling, but while trapped within the situation, I cannot see through it."

Hesitation appeared on Grand Pure Daoist's withered face.

"Am I not trapped within it as well? Dao Friend, go cultivate."

Nuwa shook her head slightly and vanished from Purple Xiao Palace through Great Luo Divine Mystery.

"..." Grand Pure Daoist stood in Chaos, silently watching Purple Xiao Palace gradually fade away.

"Big Brother?" Jade Pure and Upper Pure Daoist saw Grand Pure Daoist like this for the first time.

"..." Grand Pure Daoist came back to himself and looked at his two younger brothers. "Go cultivate!"

Nuwa had not answered, but she had pointed out the only solution.

Go cultivate, and raise their cultivation as quickly as possible!

Whether through Reverse Proof of Wuji or Three Corpses Attainment, as long as they were fast enough to comprehend the True Meaning of "Nothingness," many problems could be resolved!

"What a pity I cannot find the Taiji Diagram." Grand Pure Daoist sighed softly and returned to Kunlun Mountain with his two younger brothers.

Meanwhile, Nuwa arrived at the Wa Imperial Palace in the Heavenly Court for the first time.

"Teacher!" Fang Xun hurriedly rose and bowed.

"This palace is not bad," Nuwa commented. "But it is not mine in the end."

"I am going to travel through the Primordial Wilderness. Will you come with me?" She looked at Fang Xun.

"Yes!" Fang Xun immediately agreed.

Nuwa nodded in satisfaction and swept Fang Xun away from the Heavenly Court with a wave of her hand.
