Cihang has a complete plan for her own path.

Although he practiced the Three Corpses Technique, it was merely a secret technique for refining the origin and improving the physical body's aptitude.

Whether it's achieving sainthood through merit or Three Corpses Unity, these are merely external forces.

The Primordial Chaos Path is his foundation.

Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal is his goal, but not his final destination.

"Fellow Daoist Cihang is too modest. Others may not be able to sever the Proving the Dao by Severing Three Corpses, but you are not necessarily incapable of doing so."

Seeing that you, fellow Daoist, used the World-Ending Black Lotus and the Karmic Fire Red Lotus to Severing Corpse, it's not that you lack the desire to attain enlightenment!

Jieyin Cihang's explanation as an excuse and continued to probe.

There were quite a few Quasi-Saints in the Primordial World, but most of them used mid- to low-grade spiritual treasures to Severing Corpse.

Not to mention spiritual treasures of the same origin.

Even for him and Zhunti, their Severing Corpse Spiritual Treasures were only of the high grade.

They weren't without the idea of Proving the Dao by Severing Three Corpses, but as Cihang said, it was too difficult.

Not only did they fail, but the Sanqing Ones also failed.

Although he didn't know if the Sanqing had reached the point of severing the Three Corpses, he was certain of one thing: the Sanqing had not reached the state of Three Corpses Unity.

Cihang, however, laid a foundation far superior to theirs.

It not only uses two top-tier spiritual treasures, the Lotus Platform, to Severing Corpse, but its own body is also Twelve-grade World-Purifying White Lotus, originating from the same source as the Severing Corpse spiritual treasures.

Cihang is also the cultivator most likely to achieve the Three Corpses Unity after Hongjun.

Of course, this is on the premise that one can obtain the Twelve-Petal Merit Golden Lotus.

Although there are many Primordial World treasures, there are only four lotus platforms derived from the Chaos Green Lotus.

Even the Five Directions Heaven and Earth Flags cannot perfectly match the other lotus platforms.

Cihang wanted to Three Corpses Unity, and only the Merit Golden Lotus could achieve this.

This was one of the reasons they came to see Cihang.

"Among us cultivators, who doesn't yearn for the Dao?"

The same applies to Cihang.

However, Cihang was self-aware; she knew that reaching this point was already Cihang limit.

Moreover, although the Path of Three Corpses is profound, it is not what I seek."

As they spoke, Cihang removed his disguise, revealing his true cultivation level to the two of them.

An aura distinct from that of a Quasi-Saint emanated from Cihang.

He is still young and doesn't want the Jieyin to think he's eyeing the Merit Golden Lotus, thus becoming a target.

Moreover, he himself did not have this idea.

In comparison, revealing Primordial Origin Golden Immortal is not that important.

While modern cultivators pursue the path of Quasi-Saints, there are also some ancient Primordial Origin Golden Immortal.

However, their cultivation had long since reached a bottleneck, with no hope of ever breaking through.

"Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, and a late-stage Primordial Origin Golden Immortal at that!"

"Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, fellow Daoist, you truly possess remarkable perseverance and fortuitous opportunity!"

Even with the mindset of Jieyin and Zhunti and Zhunti, one couldn't help but be surprised by Cihang's cultivation level.

At this moment, they truly believed Cihang's explanation.

"The path to sainthood is now blocked, so Cihang naturally has to make plans for himself."

Unfortunately, like the Quasi-Saints, the Primordial Chaos Path also has no future in the Primordial World!

Cihang gave a helpless, bitter smile at the opportune moment.

"Fellow Daoist's aptitude and comprehension are truly admirable."

However, as my fellow Daoist said, although the Primordial Chaos Path is the right path, there is no way to do so in the Primordial World.

In comparison, the Three Corpses Unity is the most suitable path for you, fellow Daoist!

Suppressing the surprise and shock, the Jieyin returned to the main topic.

Although they were shocked by Cihang's true cultivation level, they did not agree with Cihang's choice.

Since the beginning of time, no one has been able to attain the Dao of Primordial World.

That is the path of Chaos Demon God.

After the fall of the Chaos Demon God and demons and the creation of the primordial Primordial World, the Primordial Chaos Path was severed.

Yang Mei was unknown to the cultivators of the Primordial World, as the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun had long since erased his traces in the Primordial World.

Hongjun would never let anyone know that he too had once attained the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal!

"The World-Ending Black Lotus and the Karmic Fire Red Lotus are already Cihang's greatest opportunities."

As for anything else, Cihang dared not even dream of it!

Cihang reiterated that she had no desire to covet the Merit Golden Lotus.

However, doubts arose in his mind. Through the conversation, he realized that Jieyin and Zhunti did not seem to be warning him.

On the contrary, they very much hope that he will follow the path of the Three Corpses Unity as One.

"Fellow Daoist Cihang, since you were able to create the Red Lotus Path, you should have a very deep understanding of my Western traditions."

Although my Western tradition cannot compare to the Sanqing, its lineage is not inferior, and most importantly, it resonates perfectly with you, fellow Daoist.

I once again sincerely invite my fellow Daoists to join the Western Paradise.

If you have any concerns, please feel free to raise any requests you may have!

Jieyin's admiration for Cihang grew, and he once again invited Cihang to join the Western Paradise.

If the previous hints were merely suggestions, this Jieyin has almost explicitly stated its position.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but unfortunately, Cihang's ambitions lie elsewhere!"

Cihang did feel the sincerity, but he did not intend to go against his original intention.

"Fellow Daoist, you might as well listen to my conditions first."

If you, fellow Daoist, are willing to join the Western Sect, you will become the third leader of our Western Teachings and share in Western Teachings destiny with us.

Fellow Daoist, there is no need to fear the Sanqing. Although they are strong, the two of us are not weak either, and we are still capable of protecting you.

In addition, I can also present the Merit Golden Lotus to my fellow Daoists.

With the Merit Golden Lotus, fellow Daoist will surely be able to achieve the Three Corpses Unity.

Even a sage cannot do anything to you, fellow Daoist!

Fellow Daoist, what do you think of this?

Seeing that Cihang remained unmoved, Jieyin directly revealed everything.

Despite having some suspicions, Cihang was still shocked to hear the news and was momentarily at a loss for words.

He knew Jieyin and Zhunti the Merit Golden Lotus of Merit; it was more than just a top-tier spiritual treasure.

It is also a treasure for stabilizing the Western world, and a source of contention among Western Teachings.

Now, they're actually willing to go to such lengths to win him over.

Cihang couldn't help but admire the courage and Zhunti of Jieyin and Zhunti.

However, Cihang quickly understood.

Jieyin and Zhunti have already attained enlightenment and become saints. Although Lingbao has an effect on them, it is not as significant as one might imagine.

The greatest function of the Merit Golden Lotus is to suppress the flow of fortune.

Once he joins the Western Teachings, the Merit Golden Lotus in his hands is no different from the one in the hands of the Jieyin.

Furthermore, he himself possesses two lotus platforms, which will undoubtedly further stabilize the fortunes of the West.

Not to mention he had the opportunity to Three Corpses Unity.

At that time, Western Teachings will truly be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Sanqing.

Moreover, besides these, he is the Lord of the South Sea and possesses one-tenth of the human race's fortune.

Once he joins the Western Teachings, the Sanqing's suppression of the West will cease to exist.

Just as the later patriarch converted barbarians to Buddhism, in order to maintain the integrity of Western Teachings, Transforming Barbarians into Buddhas and Jieyin and Zhunti directly handed over the sect to Duobao.

This not only thwarted Laozi's plans but also allowed Western Teachings to advance further.

Although they live in seclusion behind the scenes, they are not actually affected and still control the entire Western Teachings.

How similar this is to the choices we make today.

Even the Sanqing might not have had such great courage.

No wonder, the Sanqing Ones were later Jieyin and Zhunti, causing the Buddhist fortune to surpass that of the Sanqing.
