Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun's Resolve

Zhou Ming pulled himself out of the conversation and stopped talking about it.

He looked at Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi, and solemnly took out two Jade Slip.

"Fellow Daoists, please take a look at this first."

Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi were puzzled, but they still accepted the Jade Slip as instructed and probed it with their Divine Sense.

The next moment, both of their bodies jolted violently.

An expression of disbelief appeared on their faces.

Time passed slowly.

On Zhen Yuanzi's and Hong Yun's faces, shock, anger, resentment, and finally, enlightenment alternated.

They were all top-tier Great Powers in the Primordial Wilderness, their minds and character already tempered to be as firm as a rock.

But at this moment, upon learning the method of achieving sainthood that he had always held as the guiding principle...

Even after it seemed like a dead end, it still stirred up a massive wave.

"I see... I see!"

Zhen Yuanzi muttered to himself, then gave a bitter laugh, his face full of self-mockery.

"Dao Ancestor Hongjun... what a magnificent Slaying Three Corpses Method!"

"We have always believed that Slaying Three Corpses is the Great Dao to the Hunyuan."

"But unexpectedly, from the very beginning, we embarked on a wrong path."

Hong Yun also looked bitter. He sighed and put down the Jade Slip.

"If it weren't for your insight today, Fellow Daoist, Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi and I would still be kept in the dark."

"How laughable that they thought they could see the dawn of the Hunyuan Realm simply by severing the Three Corpses!"

Both of them were top-tier Great Powers in the Primordial Wilderness, just one step away from Slaying Three Corpses.

They have always regarded this method as a broad and smooth road to the Great Dao of Hunyuan Great Dao.

Little did they know, it was all a huge scam!

Zhou Ming looked at them calmly.

"It's pointless to say these things now."

"I invited you here today to ask you some questions."

"The latter half of the Jade Slip Method of Shattering the Three Corpses,' are you willing to cultivate it?"

The hall fell silent instantly.

Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun exchanged a glance, both seeing the resolute look in each other's eyes.

Are you willing?

Is that even a question?

"Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming, can this method... truly restore Dao Path?"

Hong Yun's voice trembled slightly.

Zhou Ming nodded.

"Not long ago, Ao Hai of the Dragon Clan and the West Queen Mother had already practiced this technique."

"Ao Hai has successfully shattered his Good Corpse, and the West Queen Mother has even shattered both her good and evil corpses."

"Fellow Daoist West Queen Mother... has your two corpses been shattered?"

Hong Yun gasped, her heart filled with admiration.

"Since the path ahead is blocked, and now there is a way to resume the Dao Path before us, why don't we cultivate it?"

Zhen Yuanzi was the first to speak, his voice calm and firm.

"If we don't cultivate this method, even if Fellow Daoist Hongyun and I are fortunate enough to achieve sainthood through the Earthly Dao and Humanity Dao in the future..."

"Perhaps their foundation is flawed, forever trapped in the realm of Saint, with no possibility of further progress."

"Saint like that are better off not existing!"

Hong Yun nodded vigorously.

"Daoist Brother Zhen Yuanzi is absolutely right!"

The path to enlightenment is inherently fraught with thorns and dangers.

"If we dare not even take this small risk, how can we talk about Attain the Primordial Chaos!"

"I'm willing to fix it!"

Seeing their determined expressions, Zhou Ming smiled with satisfaction.

This is exactly the kind of ally he wants.

They possess great perseverance, great determination, and, more importantly, a spirit of daring to strive for the truth.

"Good."

Zhou Ming flicked his finger, and two new Jade Slip flew toward the two of them.

"This contains all of Ao Hai's insights and experiences in Shattering Three Corpses with the West Queen Mother, detailing all the dangers and difficulties involved."

"The two of you should first thoroughly understand this Cultivation Method and its insights in the Pangu Hall."

"Dismembering a body is no child's play; one must not act rashly."

Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi solemnly accepted the Jade Slip and bowed deeply to Zhou Ming.

"We understand!"

"Thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist!"

Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi each entered a secret chamber.

Pangu Hall, tranquility returned to normal.

Zhou Ming withdrew his gaze and looked at Houtu to the side.

"Sister Houtu, you shall remain in the Pangu Hall to protect Zhen Yuanzi and Fellow Daoist Hongyun."

"I'm going out for a bit to 'invite' some old friends back."

"The next Tribulation is about to begin."

"We can no longer let them develop freely in the Primordial Wilderness."

"It's time for them to come back and pay the Karma for their past transgressions."

Houtu was incredibly clever; with a quick thought, she had already guessed a few things.

"Elder Brother, you mean... Di Jun, Taiyi, and the others?"

Zhou Ming nodded calmly.

"Good."

The reason for sending Di Jun, Taiyi, and others into Reincarnation was, of course, to preserve the Origin Essence of these top-tier Great Powers for the future.

But more importantly, it made them owe him an enormous favor.

This Karma is not so easy to repay.

Now that the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation is about to begin, it is time for them to return.

Houtu nodded solemnly.

"Elder Brother, go in peace."

"With me at the Pangu Hall, nothing will go wrong."

"Good."

Zhou Ming responded with a nod and said no more.

With a single step, he vanished from the Pangu Hall.

The Primordial Wilderness Southern Domain.

The habitat of the Fire Crow Clan.

Dao Body appeared silently; it was Zhou Ming.

His Divine Sense, like an invisible and intangible net, instantly enveloped the entire Fire Crow territory.

The next moment, his Divine Sense precisely locked onto a Cave Abode deep within the volcanic cluster.

There, he sensed two presences that were both intimately familiar and strangely unfamiliar.

A playful, intrigued look appeared on Zhou Ming's face.

"As expected of Di Jun and Taiyi."

Even if I were to be reincarnated, I would still not be one to be subservient to others.

In his Divine Sense perception, Di Jun's reincarnation had become the patriarch of the Fire Crow Clan.

Taiyi's reincarnation remains the same as in his previous life, being his Elder Brother's most loyal and powerful supporter.

only...

"Peak of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal?" Zhou Ming shook his head slightly.

This level of understanding is simply not enough in today's Primordial Wilderness.

If it were an ordinary living being, it could do so Human Sect.

To have cultivated to this level in such a short period of Eon is truly a gift from heaven.

But they are Di Jun and Taiyi.

This level of strength is far from sufficient.

"There's no point in letting them develop on their own outside."

"We should bring them back to the Wu Clan and help them recover their strength as soon as possible, so that they can play their proper role."

With his mind made up, Zhou Ming moved.

The next instant, he appeared inside the Cave Abode.

Inside the Cave Abode, two young men dressed in crimson feather robes were meditating cross-legged.

The young man at the head of the group had a handsome face and an imposing, dignified air about him.

It was Huo Jun, the new patriarch of the Fire Crow Clan.

Beside him stood another young man with an equally imposing presence.

Surrounding Body exuded an air of arrogance that seemed to look down on the world; he was Huo Jun's younger brother, Huo Yi.

Suddenly, the two of them opened their eyes at the same time.

An overwhelming sense of crisis suddenly enveloped their minds!

"Who!"
