"Finally, I'm a Great Luo Golden Immortal."
"From today onward, I'm one of Hong Huang's Great Supernatural Beings as well."
Gu Xi's face lit up with joy.
Ever since he had transmigrated into Hong Huang, the pressure that had been quietly accumulating in his heart had vanished by more than half in an instant.
As an ordinary person from the modern world, suddenly transmigrated into a world like Hong Huang—a world filled with gods and demons, where the heavens and earth could be destroyed at the slightest turn—it would have been a lie to say he felt no panic or pressure.
Fortunately, he had bound himself to the Heavenly Dao Credit Card.
Through the Heavenly Dao Credit Card, he could borrow vast amounts of merit from the Heavenly Dao, making the Heavenly Dao his creditor and thereby gaining its protection.
But even with the Heavenly Dao's protection, unease and apprehension still lingered in his heart.
Because he could not be certain whether the Heavenly Dao would protect him forever.
Over these twenty-three thousand years, he had offended countless gods and demons.
He had even offended the Witch and Demon Races.
If one day, the Heavenly Dao suddenly stopped protecting him—
With so many enemies waiting for him, he would be finished.
But now, things were different.
He had advanced to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and become one of Hong Huang's Great Supernatural Beings.
With that, more than eighty percent of his enemies had automatically disappeared.
—Those gods and demons beneath the Great Luo realm whom he had once swindled or offended would surely be more than willing to forget their grudge against a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Now, his true enemies were only the Witch and Demon Races.
As a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he would not be easy for the Witch and Demon Races to deal with.
What was more, he still had the Heavenly Dao's protection.
"The Great Dao stretches long and far!"
"On the path to Primordial Unity, the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm is only the beginning!"
"I must continue striving and cannot slacken!"
Gu Xi muttered to himself, the smile still lingering on his face.
Though it was merely the beginning of the path to Primordial Unity, without being falsely modest, a God and Demon Dao Lord had already secured a place in Hong Huang.
Among ten thousand Primordial Unity Golden Immortals, not even one might successfully break through to become a God and Demon Dao Lord.
More importantly, when he advanced to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he had condensed two Dao Fruits at once.
Moreover, whether it was the Innate Merit Dao Fruit or the Four Seasons Sequence Dao Fruit, their potential far surpassed that of ordinary Great Luo Dao Fruits.
Furthermore, within his Primordial Five Elements Dao Embryo, the Primordial Water Element Dao Embryo had already reached the great perfection of the Dao Embryo realm.
Given some more time, he was confident that he could elevate this Dao Embryo into a Great Luo Dao Fruit as well.
The remaining four Dao Embryos would sooner or later also be elevated into Dao Fruits.
From this point alone, no one in all of Hong Huang could match his foundation.
Thus, he was extremely confident in his Dao path.
"Now that I have advanced to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, aside from steadily elevating the remaining Primordial Five Elements Dao Embryos into Dao Fruits one by one and advancing my cultivation, I must also begin preparing to advance to Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerate."
Gu Xi pondered inwardly.
Beyond the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm lay the Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerate realm.
In present-day Hong Huang, many Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerates had achieved their realms through the Method of Slaying Three Corpses passed down by Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
But the Method of Slaying Three Corpses was not the only way to become a Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerate.
Before Dao Ancestor Hongjun passed down the Method of Slaying Three Corpses, among the earliest generation of Great Supernatural Beings before the Dragon-Phoenix-Kirin Tribulation, there were already those who had advanced to Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerate.
Luohu, Great Immortal Yang Mei, Ancestor Dragon, Ancestor Phoenix, Ancestor Kirin, Ancestor Yin Yang, Ancestor Qiankun, Ancestor Qingtian, and others were all Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerates renowned throughout the ancient era.
Even now, the Twelve Ancestral Witches had not become Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerates through the Method of Slaying Three Corpses.
In the end, the advancement of a cultivator's realm still rested chiefly upon comprehending and mastering the Great Dao Laws.
As long as one could progressively deepen one's comprehension and mastery of the Great Dao Laws, upon reaching a certain level, one would naturally advance to Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerate.
The defining trait of a Great Luo Golden Immortal was divine command over laws: one's Primordial Spirit merged with the Great Dao, commanding the power of laws and becoming the master of all laws within the range shrouded by one's divine power.
And the primary criterion for advancing to Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerate was Man and Law Unite!
The Great Dao Laws were vast beyond measure, and their methods as countless as the sands of the Ganges. How could one possibly command them all? Better to take a step back and find an ocean of open sky—let man stand equal to law, let man and law unite, blaze another trail from within, and attain the supreme mysterious realm of doing nothing while leaving nothing undone.
That was the Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerate realm.
It went one step beyond a Great Luo Golden Immortal's divine command over laws.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches had advanced to Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerate through the ancient method of directly comprehending the Great Dao Laws.
The reason the Secret Method of Slaying Three Corpses passed down by Dao Ancestor Hongjun had gradually become the mainstream method by which many Great Supernatural Beings advanced to Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerate was chiefly because it possessed advantages over the ancient method.
The "Three Corpses" represented the three kinds of "evil desires" within the human body—every kind of obsession.
These evil desires and obsessions existed within living beings, seriously affecting and hindering their comprehension of the Great Dao Laws.
Through the Method of Slaying Three Corpses, one could sever these evil desires and obsessions, making one's thoughts purer and making it easier to comprehend the Great Dao Laws.
Moreover, when one severed one's Good Corpse, Evil Corpse, and Self Corpse, they could be entrusted to Primordial Spiritual Treasures, granting three immensely powerful incarnations.
Once a living being had fully comprehended ten levels of Great Dao Laws, they could merge with the Three Corpses once more, advancing further, deepening their foundation, and gaining the capital to challenge the Primordial Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.
This was the true secret of slaying the Three Corpses.
It was also the superiority of the Method of Slaying Three Corpses.
Naturally, Gu Xi had no objection to the Method of Slaying Three Corpses.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches were born without Primordial Spirits and could not cultivate the Method of Slaying Three Corpses. That was why they had no choice but to continue choosing the ancient method, using it to advance into Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerates.
Gu Xi himself possessed a Primordial Spirit. There was no way he would pass up a superior method like this.
As the saying went, black cat or white cat, the one that catches mice is a good cat.
However, although the Method of Slaying Three Corpses was widespread throughout Hong Huang, what had been passed down were all incomplete, rudimentary methods.
The true complete inheritances were basically all held by those Great Supernatural Beings who had once gone to Zixiao Palace to hear the Dao.
Gu Xi had also obtained the Method of Slaying Three Corpses from Dong Yin Daojun's Primordial Spirit, but it was merely the rudimentary version widely circulated in Hong Huang.
It was not as though the rudimentary version could not be cultivated.
But it certainly could not compare to the complete version!
"Looks like I'll have to find a way to get the complete Method of Slaying Three Corpses someday!"
"The Heavenly Dao Credit Card has the 'Great Dao Furnace' function. It can fuse cultivation methods and divine abilities, or deduce them to a higher level."
"If I obtain the complete Method of Slaying Three Corpses, perhaps I can use the 'Great Dao Furnace' function to deduce an even more perfect Method of Slaying Three Corpses."
"If I truly can't get it... then I'll just start deducing and upgrading it from the rudimentary version. At worst, I'll spend a little more merit!"
Gu Xi pondered inwardly.
The more he thought about it, the more fortunate he felt to have bound himself to the Heavenly Dao Credit Card.
With the Heavenly Dao Credit Card's functions, he had no need to worry about high-quality divine abilities or secret arts.
Gu Xi gathered his thoughts and appeared before Suiren Shi and the others, whose faces were brimming with excitement.
"Congratulations to the Holy Father on ascending to the Golden Immortal of Great Unity realm! From this day onward, eternal and unbound, undying and indestructible!"
Suiren Shi and the others could hardly contain their excitement. They all dropped to their knees, their voices shaking the skies.
"Hahaha, little friend Gu Xi, congratulations on becoming a God and Demon Dao Lord!"
Suddenly, a hearty laugh rang out. Ying Long, bearing five-colored divine wings, appeared soundlessly above the Human Sacred Hall, countless starlights swirling around him.
Even though Gu Xi was now a God and Demon Dao Lord with two Dao Fruits, he had failed to detect any trace before Ying Long's arrival.
Feeling Ying Long, who seemed like the incarnation of the Innate Star Constellation Great Dao itself, Gu Xi's heart trembled slightly.
These old monsters were far more terrifying than he had imagined.
No wonder that when he had appeared back then, he had immediately demanded that the many God and Demon Dao Lords and Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerates give him face.
He truly had the confidence to do so.
Just as Gu Xi was about to step forward to greet Ying Long, his mind trembled again.
In an instant, a figure blooming with boundless divine light of annihilation, and another blooming with boundless Bodhi divine light, appeared in his mind at the same time.
Along with them came golden lotuses filling the heavens and waves of Buddhist chants emerging within his mind.
"No way... could The Two from the West have come too?"
Gu Xi's heart gave a fierce jolt.
