The Human Clan Would Henceforth Cultivate Only the Path of Law, Not the Slaying Three Corpses Method
After a long while, Wu's gaze fell on Hong Yun, who had just calmed down.
"Fellow Daoist, your cultivation has greatly advanced since you emerged from seclusion, reaching the peak of the Peak Primordial Origin Golden Immortal realm."
"He's just one step away from reaching the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm."
"I wonder, fellow Daoist, when do you think you will be able to take that step?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to Hong Yun.
This is not only a question for Wu, but also a hope in everyone's heart.
Fellow Daoist Hongyun's current cultivation level is already the highest among them.
If Human Clan could give birth to a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, the significance would be entirely different.
Upon hearing Wu's question, the heroic spirit that had just risen on Hong Yun's face instantly turned into a bitter smile.
He shook his head and chuckled.
"Fellow Daoist, you overestimate me."
"Although thanks to the Sage Zhou Ming, I was fortunate enough to glimpse that sliver of the path and thus gain the qualification to attain enlightenment."
"But this last step is incredibly difficult."
"From the Peak Primordial Origin Golden Immortal to the true Primordial Great Luo, it seems like only a step is involved, but in reality, there is an insurmountable chasm between them."
"It will take an unknown amount of time and effort to overcome this obstacle."
Hong Yun let out a long sigh, filled with emotion.
"Like Fellow Daoist Di Jiang and Fellow Daoist Zhu Jiuyin of the Wu Clan, aren't they all exceptionally talented individuals?"
"They reached the peak of the Peak Primordial Origin Golden Immortal much earlier than I did."
"In terms of accumulated knowledge and experience, who isn't a hundred times more profound than me?"
"But even now, aren't they still stuck at that point, unable to take that step?"
"This shows how difficult it is to attain enlightenment!"
Hong Yun's words cooled the lively atmosphere that had just ignited in the Cave Abode.
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a deep sense of sympathy.
Yes, Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin are Pangu Descendants, and among the best of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
His foundation, comprehension, and perseverance were all top-notch; even such strong individuals have been unable to break through for a long time.
How easy is it for Hong Yun to break through?
To Attain the Primordial Chaos Grand Unity Golden Immortal, one must not only accumulate Magic Power and spiritual attainment, but also possess an extraordinary understanding of the Great Dao.
And that elusive yet crucial opportunity.
Fuxi stroked his long beard and echoed the sentiment with deep agreement.
"Fellow Daoist Hongyun is right."
"The path to enlightenment is a journey of ascents to heaven with every step."
Shennong Shi's face was full of helplessness.
"For those of us who cultivate Martial Path, proving our path through martial arts is even more difficult."
"The road ahead is long, and we must proceed step by step to deduce and pave the way."
"First, I need to elevate my Martial Path realm to a level sufficient to support the Hunyuan Fruit."
"But the difficulty of deducing the Great Dao is almost no less than proving the Dao oneself!"
Everyone nodded, their faces showing a hint of helplessness.
Most of these ancient Human Clan Forefathers followed the path of Martial Path pioneered by Wu.
Although this path has boundless potential, it is, after all, a newly opened Great Dao, far less mature and traceable than the Immortal Path.
To attain Hunyuan status through this method, they would need to spend countless years.
We must pave this path and elevate the realm of Martial Path to a higher level.
Among the Human Clan, although there are quite a few who cultivate the path of Immortal Path, the strongest among them is only at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Peak.
It is still far from reaching the Hunyuan Realm.
For a moment, the atmosphere inside the Cave Abode became somewhat heavy again.
Seeing the worried expressions on everyone's faces, Wu smiled faintly.
"Proving the Way is difficult, but it is not entirely impossible."
He looked at Hong Yun, then changed the subject.
"Fellow Daoist, your luck is actually quite good."
"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, your luck is somewhat better than that of Di Jiang and the others."
"Oh?" Hong Yun looked at Wu with some confusion.
Everyone turned to look on with curiosity.
Wu spoke slowly.
"This Investiture of the Gods Tribulation is a calamity for our Human Clan, but it is also an immense opportunity."
"If we plan properly, we can lead Human Clan safely through this calamity, and even reap a wave of the Tribulation Qi."
"At that time, Human Path Fortune soar, under the blessing of that immense Fortune."
"Fellow Daoist, you say that if you don't, you can break through the barrier in one fell swoop and glimpse the true Hunyuan Realm!"
Yes!
Tribulation!
This is both Destruction and rebirth!
This is the time when the Fortune is at its most intense!
"What Wu said is absolutely right!" Fuxi's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
"If the Human Clan is robbed and can survive safely, the Human Clan's Fortune will surely soar."
"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, as a sage of the Human Clan, is blessed with Fortune and has a very high chance of breaking through through this!"
"After all, among our Human Clan, you, Fellow Daoist Hongyun, are the only one with the best chance of attaining the Dao!"
Hong Yun felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
He originally thought that even with guidance from Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming and the help of the power of Humanity Dao, he could succeed.
To truly attain enlightenment, one must diligently Eon, slowly and painstakingly refining one's skills.
I never expected to catch such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
For a moment, Hong Yun felt a surge of heroic spirit within her.
He looked at Wu, took a deep breath, and bowed solemnly to Wu.
"If that's truly the case, then I must thank you for your plan, fellow Daoist."
"However, this will require you to go through a lot of trouble, fellow Daoist."
"By risking his life for the sake of the Human Clan, for my sake... to secure this sliver of hope for survival, Hong Yun will forever remember this kindness!"
"We are both Human Clan, so there is no need for thanks."
"All of this is for the sake of the Human Clan."
Hong Yun nodded heavily.
He sighed for a moment, then his expression suddenly became extremely serious.
"By the way, fellow Daoists..."
"There's something I must remind everyone of."
Seeing that his expression was unusual, everyone sat up straight and listened attentively.
"Fellow Daoist, please speak."
"From this day forward, all members of my Human Clan who cultivate the Immortal Path are forbidden from practicing the Slaying Three Corpses Method!"
"All cultivators of the Immortal Path cultivate only the Path of Law!"
These words shocked everyone present.
Fuxi, Shennong, and the others all stared at Hong Yun in astonishment.
"What?"
"No longer practicing the Slaying Three Corpses Method?"
"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, what... what is the reason for this?"
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Hongyun."
"Cultivating only the Law is too ethereal and elusive; its difficulty is more than a hundred times greater than Slaying Three Corpses."
"In that case, wouldn't it be even more difficult for us Human Clan cultivators to achieve anything in the Immortal Path?"
The crowd discussed it amongst themselves, unable to understand Hong Yun's decision.
Wu was not surprised by any of this. It seemed that the drawbacks of this Slaying Three Corpses Method were not limited to failing to attain enlightenment.
Otherwise, Hong Yun wouldn't have said that, since not everyone can attain enlightenment.
It's already quite impressive to have reached the Quasi-Sage Realm using the Slaying Three Corpses Method.
Faced with everyone's doubts, Hong Yun simply shook her head.
He looked troubled, as if he had something difficult to say.
"Fellow Daoists, please forgive me for not being able to disclose the specific reason."
"I can only say that the Path of Slaying Three Corpses is indeed not suitable for our Human Clan to continue cultivating."
"This involves some... secrets that I cannot speak of."
Seeing that Hong Yun was unwilling to say more, and seeing his troubled appearance, the others stopped asking.
They all knew Hong Yun's character and understood that his Fortune was intertwined with that of the Human Clan; their fortunes were intertwined, and their losses were intertwined.
Since he said that, he must have his reasons; he could never possibly want to harm the Human Clan.
Fuxi nodded and said in a deep voice.
"If you don't wish to elaborate, we will naturally believe you."
"I will make the arrangements shortly, for all Human Clan who enter the Huoyun Cave from now on."
"We will no longer teach them the Slaying Three Corpses Method; we will only guide them to comprehend the Law Great Dao."
The others nodded in agreement.
"Good!"
"As you say, fellow Daoist!"
No one asked Hong Yun how she should conduct herself now that she had already mastered the Slaying Three Corpses Method.
Since he was able to make this suggestion, he must have already considered it.
Seeing how much everyone trusted him, Hong Yun felt a warmth in his heart and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to them.
"Good!"
"Thank you for your trust, fellow Daoists."
With the matter settled, the atmosphere inside the Cave Abode completely relaxed.
Everything is ready, except for the east wind.
Hong Yun looked out of the cave, where the surging sea of clouds seemed to already give the impression of an impending mountain rain.
He spoke slowly, his voice calm yet firm.
"Therefore, let us await the Tribulation."
