Tai Yi Doesn't Even Think Much of Peak Quasi-Saints

"You want him to walk that legendary path? One Attainment, Eternal Attainment?"

Ancestor Minghe cried out in shock.

The composure he had been forcing himself to maintain instantly crumbled, and for the first time, an almost horrified expression appeared on his face—one he could not conceal!

Zhen Yuanzi shot upright from his Pouf, the light of the Book of the Earth in his hand flickering erratically as his eyes filled with unbelievable shock!

Only at this moment did Minghe and Zhen Yuanzi truly understand!

Tai Yi had invited Minghe here precisely for the path of One Attainment, Eternal Attainment!

And the point where this path diverged lay in the cultivation method of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm!

That was why Tai Yi had sought Minghe's advice on the method of incarnations!

Throughout the Great Desolation World, no one wielded incarnation techniques better than Minghe.

Other great powers, even if they plucked a hair to create a duplicate, merely created a duplicate. They could not compare to Minghe.

Of course, Minghe's Blood God Son incarnations were not the incarnations cultivated by Primordial Unity Golden Immortals.

His Blood God Son divine ability seemed to split into billions, but at its core lay the principle: "So long as the Blood Sea remains undying, my true self remains one."

It was a life-preserving secret art that took a shortcut by relying on a special origin.

This was not the true Path of Incarnating Billions at all!

The true Path of Incarnating Billions required one, from the very beginning of cultivation, to forgo cultivating the Five Qi in the Chest and instead directly divide one's own "Dao" outward.

Every incarnation would become an independent Seed, carrying the imprint of "self"!

This was not merely a divine ability; it was a Path to Enlightenment fundamentally different from the mainstream of the Great Desolation!

The terrifying thing about this path was that it was simply too difficult!

First, the workload was as vast as a sea of stars!

Every incarnation had to independently undergo the process of comprehending laws!

Billions of incarnations meant billions of times the cultivation!

This was simply beyond what the mind and Primordial Spirit of an ordinary living being could endure!

Second, Converging Timeline was nearly hopeless!

Upon reaching the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, one had to converge every timeline of one's past, present, and future selves, returning ten thousand selves to one, before one could attain the Grand Unity Dao Fruit.

But for one who followed the Path of Incarnating Billions, the complexity of their timelines would explode geometrically!

Billions of independent yet interconnected timelines, intertwined and entangled—trying to perfectly converge them into one?

That was practically equivalent to challenging the laws of the Heavenly Dao itself!

Countless great powers of the Great Desolation had deduced it: this path was impassable!

It was a dead end!

And now, Tai Yi actually wanted his nephew—a Sixth Prince who had only just undergone Nirvana Rebirth and whose realm was still at the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal stage—to walk this universally acknowledged dead end?

Zhen Yuanzi's gaze was likewise filled with incomprehensible shock as it swept back and forth between Tai Yi and Lu Jun.

What... was so extraordinary about this child?

For Eastern Emperor Tai Yi to stake everything on his Dao path like this?

Could it be only because he had successfully undergone Nirvana?

But there had been countless members of the Phoenix Clan who had undergone Nirvana. None had ever dared attempt this path!

He tried to see through Lu Jun. Aside from that Taotie-like devouring instinct and a foundation far more profound than those of the same realm, there seemed to be no other traits sufficient to support such a mad ambition.

Yet faced with the almost tangible looks of shock and suspicion from the two supreme powers, Tai Yi remained exceptionally calm.

He slowly nodded. "That's right. I want him to walk that path."

"Why?" Minghe nearly blurted it out.

"This path... is a dead end! Dao Friend Tai Yi, you are destroying his future!"

Tai Yi's gaze fell upon Lu Jun. "Brother Minghe, Great Immortal Zhen Yuan, listen to me."

"First, his realm is low enough. The timing is exactly right."

"Lu Jun is still only at the early Primordial Unity Golden Immortal stage. This is precisely the crucial phase for laying his Dao foundation."

"Dividing his incarnations at this point may be difficult, but it means acting at the source of his 'Dao,' where the foundation is purest."

"If he waits until his realm is higher and his Dao foundation has solidified, then trying to reverse it and divide himself—would the difficulty merely increase by billions of times?"

"Second, his reserves are profound enough to support it."

Tai Yi looked at Lu Jun with a trace of approval.

"After Nirvana Rebirth, the strength of his physical body can already rival that of an Ancestral Witch!"

"The True Sun Fire accumulated within him, along with the Chaos essence he has devoured, is so vast in total that it could even support an ordinary Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!"

"This terrifying foundation is hundreds of millions of times beyond those of the same realm!"

"Taking the Path of Incarnating Billions consumes a vast sea of Primordial Spirit power and mana—and he happens to possess an 'amount' that vastly surpasses his realm!"

"Even if he incarnates into billions, the strength of each individual incarnation, backed by such foundations, would still be enough to crush ordinary Taiyi, perhaps even contend with weaker Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals!"

"Third, the shackles of the traditional path have already become apparent." Tai Yi's gaze shifted toward the profound void.

"The Way of Slaying the Three Corpses is, of course, the grand and orthodox path passed down by the Dao Ancestor."

"Yet Severing the Corpse requires an Innate Spiritual Treasure corresponding to one's obsessions as a vessel. How difficult is it to find a top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure?"

"Though our Demon Race possesses deep reserves, we still cannot support every core descendant with a top-tier spiritual treasure."

"Even if Lu Jun's talents are extraordinary, without a top-tier spiritual treasure to Sever the Corpse, his upper limit will ultimately be locked at the peak of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. He will never glimpse the Great Dao of the Quasi-Saint!"

"Even if he fortunately succeeds in Severing the Corpse and becomes a Quasi-Saint, he would merely become another 'me' or another 'Di Jun.'"

"As far as the Demon Race's overall landscape is concerned, it would only add another top-tier combatant. It would be difficult to bring about any qualitative transformation."

Tai Yi's voice suddenly rose, carrying the resolute determination of one who had smashed the cauldrons and sunk the boats:

"But now, relying on his Nirvana body, he already possesses combat strength capable of matching—even surpassing—some Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals!"

"The room for the traditional path to improve his strength is already limited!"

"Rather than have him walk blindly down a road whose end is already visible, we might as well make a desperate gamble and let him attempt this 'One Attainment, Eternal Attainment' path that no one has dared tread for Hundreds of Millions of Years!"

"What if... he truly manages to walk it through?"

That final rhetorical question exploded like thunder in the heart-lakes of Minghe and Zhen Yuanzi!

The hall fell into prolonged silence.

Ancestor Minghe and Zhen Yuanzi, these two towering giants standing at the pinnacle of the Great Desolation, both sank into deep contemplation.

Tai Yi's words were like an icy blade, cutting apart their ingrained understanding.

That was right!

What difference would one more Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal or one more Quasi-Saint make to the Demon Race?

It would merely add another member to the highest ranks beneath the Saints of this world, one standing on equal footing with old-established Quasi-Saints like themselves.

Its impact on the overall situation of the Wu-Demon struggle would be limited.

But an existence embarking upon the path of "One Attainment, Eternal Attainment"—even if he had merely glimpsed its threshold—would possess utterly revolutionary potential!

He would be a variable capable of changing the Great Desolation Landscape!

What was more, Di Jun and Tai Yi themselves were still comprehending that world-shocking, convention-defying method of "Nirvana."

If the two brothers succeeded, the Demon Race would gain two terrifying existences who had become Saints through Physical Body!

At that time, the Demon Race's fortune would surely reach an unprecedented pinnacle!

Against such a backdrop, allowing a crown prince with such special foundations to attempt the legendary path of "One Attainment, Eternal Attainment"...

Failure would mean no more than losing a top-tier Taiyi. Yet with his foundations, even dying would be difficult. With billions of incarnations, his ability to preserve his life stood unparalleled in the Great Desolation.

But if he succeeded... it would be glory beyond imagination!

Moreover, Ancestor Minghe and Zhen Yuanzi exchanged a glance, and each saw a deeper speculation in the other's eyes.

Tai Yi... definitely had secrets he had not revealed!

Secrets concerning Lu Jun!

How could a Golden Crow Crown Prince comprehend the true essence of Nirvana before even Di Jun and Tai Yi?

This was absolutely no coincidence!

He must be concealing some heaven-shaking opportunity or fortune!

Perhaps this was the true confidence that gave Tai Yi the nerve to let him attempt this dead-end path?

Having understood these crucial links, the shock in Ancestor Minghe's heart gradually receded, replaced by an unprecedented... anticipation!

Even a trace of excitement!

If Lu Jun truly succeeded, even if he only took a tiny step forward, then he, Minghe, as the original provider of the secret art of Incarnating Billions, would surely form profound Karma with him!

That Karma would become an immeasurable protective talisman in the future!

One could even say that on the path of Incarnating Billions, he was half of Lu Jun's guide!

And even if Lu Jun failed, all Minghe had done was pass on a secret art that was not a core secret to him. He would lose nothing at all!

"Phew..." Minghe slowly exhaled a mouthful of blood-scented Turbid Qi.

A strange light flickered in his scarlet eyes.

He looked at Tai Yi, and a genuinely "sincere" smile appeared on his face:

"Eastern Emperor, Dao Friend... what courage! What vision!"

"In that case, This Poor Daoist will impart the Blood God Son incarnation method without reservation!"
