Ao Hai successfully shattered his corpse
On the other side.
The West Queen Mother also reached the same point.
Buzz!
As the incantation was activated, a figure appeared, identical to her in appearance, yet filled with compassion and peace.
It emerged from her body and floated silently in front of her.
It was the Good Corpse she had severed years ago.
The Good Corpse looked at the True Body and seemed to sense something as well, a look of pity appearing on its face.
The West Queen Mother remained completely unmoved.
"Fellow Daoist, we are originally one. Today, please return to your Origin Essence!"
"Broken!"
A cry rang out in her heart.
Click!
The sound of something shattering echoed deep within her soul.
Cracks appeared on the body of the Good Corpse, and its immense Origin Essence power began to leak out uncontrollably.
At the same time, an unimaginable pain instantly swept over the entire Primordial Spirit of the West Queen Mother!
That pain stemmed from a tearing apart of the Origin Essence!
But she gritted her teeth and kept the magic flowing, frantically crushing the Origin Essence of the Good Corpse.
She knew this was the most crucial moment; if she backed down, all her previous efforts would be in vain.
They themselves will suffer severe damage, with no chance to start over!
Finally! I don't know how much time had passed.
Boom!
A deafening explosion resounded in their minds.
The cracked, phantom image of the Good Corpse shattered completely!
It transformed into the purest and most Origin Essence essence.
These vital energies did not dissipate in the slightest, but were instead drawn together by an invisible force.
It transformed into a torrent, frantically flowing back into their True Body!
"Ugh!"
Ao Hai and the West Queen Mother both let out a muffled groan.
The return of the Origin Essence power brought not comfort, but a more violent shock.
Their physical bodies and their Primordial Spirit groaned under the overwhelming force.
It was like a ball about to burst.
But they knew this was the most crucial moment.
If successful, the Dao Path will continue.
Defeat means death and the annihilation of one's spiritual path!
The two exerted all their strength, guiding this Origin Essence power to cleanse their Dao Foundation again and again, following the route recorded in the Cultivation Method.
Time seemed to lose its meaning at this moment.
I don't know how much time passed.
That violent Origin Essence force finally subsided and completely merged with their True Body.
Ao Hai and the West Queen Mother both breathed a long sigh of relief.
They succeeded!
He successfully shattered the Good Corpse and absorbed all its Origin Essence into himself.
Inside the secret chamber, the violent Origin Essence power finally subsided.
Ao Hai slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing within them.
The Dao Path has begun!
He succeeded!
"Hahaha..."
Ao Hai couldn't help but laugh out loud, his laughter filled with the unbridled joy and excitement that Eon.
After stabilizing his internal energy for a moment, Ao Hai couldn't wait any longer and got up to push open the Stone Gate of the secret chamber.
Zhou Ming was already waiting outside.
Seeing Ao Hai come out, Zhou Ming smiled.
"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on the continuation of your Dao Path."
Upon seeing Zhou Ming, Ao Hai immediately composed himself, bowed deeply, and performed a grand salute.
"Ao Hai, thank you so much for the Saint's grace in restoring me!"
This bow came from the bottom of my heart.
If it weren't for Zhou Ming, he would have been trapped in the Quasi-Sage Realm for the rest of his life, never seeing the path ahead.
Zhou Ming raised his hand to support him, and a gentle force lifted him up.
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for such formalities."
Zhou Ming looked Ao Hai over and nodded in satisfaction.
The difficulty of Shattering the Good Corpse was within his expectations.
Ao Hai has a solid foundation and a firm will, so his success is not surprising.
"Your success is also due to your own desire for enlightenment and great perseverance."
I was just providing a method.
Ao Hai straightened up, his face still unable to hide his excitement.
"For Saint, it's merely a method; for Ao Hai, it's everything!"
Ao Hai's success proves that the difficulty of Shattering the Good Corpse is entirely within the acceptable range for top-tier Great Powers like them.
How are you feeling?
Ao Hai answered respectfully.
"Reporting to the Saint, this method is infinitely wondrous! I have completely reclaimed the Origin Essence my Good Corpse, and my Dao Path has been resumed!"
"However, after merging the Origin Essence the Good Corpse into oneself..."
"I just realized that my understanding of the Law seems to have fallen far behind, and it's somewhat inconsistent with my current level."
Zhou Ming was not surprised by this.
"Now your Dao Path has been continued, but your foundation is still somewhat unstable."
"The most urgent task is to go into seclusion as soon as possible to improve one's understanding of the Law and thoroughly solidify this foundation."
Ao Hai nodded repeatedly.
"The Saint is absolutely right! That's exactly what I was thinking!"
Ao Hai took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Zhou Ming.
"Saint, this is my understanding of Shattering the Good Corpse; please accept it."
Zhou Ming accepted the Jade Slip and said to Ao Hai.
"Then you may go, fellow Daoist. The Spiritual Qi within the Pangu Hall is abundant; you can peacefully cultivate here in seclusion."
"Thank you, Your Saint!"
After bowing once more, Ao Hai turned around impatiently, preparing to continue his secluded cultivation.
Having just resumed his Dao Path, although his cultivation level hasn't declined, his realm is still insufficient.
He currently possesses power but lacks understanding; he needs to quickly enhance his comprehension of the Law.
After Ao Hai left, Zhou Ming's gaze turned to another still tightly closed secret room.
That was the place where the West Queen Mother secluded herself.
Inside the West Queen Mother's secret chamber, the energy fluctuations did not stabilize; instead, they became increasingly turbulent.
Zhou Ming's strength was immense; with just a glance, he instantly understood.
He could sense that the West Queen Mother was determined to merge the Evil Corpse into her body in one fell swoop!
Zhou Ming's figure flashed and he appeared outside the secret chamber where the West Queen Mother was in seclusion.
Sensing Zhou Ming's arrival, Houtu turned around and gave him a gentle smile.
"Elder Brother."
"Fellow Ao Hai has succeeded."
"Hmm," Zhou Ming responded, but his attention was entirely focused on the West Queen Mother's secret chamber.
"He Shattering the Good Corpse; things went relatively smoothly."
"The West Queen Mother's pursuit of the Dao is truly as firm as a rock, leaving herself no way out."
"He had just merged the Good Corpse into his body when he began to Shattering the Evil Corpse."
"His unwavering resolve and resolute will are rare even in the Primordial Wilderness."
Having just integrated the Good Corpse into his body, his Primordial Spirit and Dao Foundation were still undergoing intense turbulence and reshaping.
She dared to proceed directly to the next step and begin Shattering the Evil Corpse.
This decisiveness and ruthlessness impressed even Zhou Ming.
Houtu agreed.
"Yes, the pain of being torn apart strikes at the Origin Essence; for an ordinary person, experiencing it once is already their limit."
"Her ability to continue without hesitation is truly admirable."
"However, Elder Brother, the difficulty of Shattering the Evil Corpse is probably far greater than that of Good Corpse."
Houtu's words carried a hint of worry.
