Chapter Summaries

Chapter Summary: Understanding the Three Lives Method

Key Plot Points and Events

• During Hongjun’s second lecture, he explains the Three Corpses Method, including how the quality of the spiritual treasure used in corpse-slaying affects the strength of the resulting corpse.
• Qing Huan realizes that Hongjun’s method acts as a foundation for him to derive a different technique based on his mastery of the Time Law: the Three Lives Slaying Corpse Method.
• Qing Huan’s method divides cultivation into three stages:
  • Past Corpse: Uses the power of time to trace past lives, extract karmic origins, and sever the destiny-bound chains of previous existences.
  • Present Corpse: Confronts worldly delusions, desires, emotions, and bodily attachments, ultimately achieving freedom from worldly disturbances.
  • Future Corpse: Faces one’s future Dao-proving shadow, overcoming fear, obsession, and excessive desire while discovering a unique path toward the Great Dao.
• After the three corpses are slain, their essences become three treasures: the Flowing Light of Time, Seal of the Present, and Future Dao Seed. These are then fused through Yin-Yang principles, immense heavenly luck, and an Innate Supreme Treasure.
• Successful fusion creates an Immortal True Spirit, allowing one to form an independent Dao foundation rather than entrusting one’s existence to the Heavenly Dao. The cultivator reaches a state of transcendence and becomes a sage who controls their own spacetime origin.
• Qing Huan recognizes that although this method surpasses Hongjun’s Heavenly Dao-bound approach, its requirements are extraordinarily severe. It demands multiple same-origin top-grade spiritual treasures, immense heavenly luck, and an Innate Supreme Treasure, making it inaccessible to nearly all beings.
• Hongjun then announces that he will appoint leaders to govern the male and female immortals and help establish order in the newly stabilized Primordial Wilderness.
• Contrary to the expectations of Di Jun and Tai Yi, Hongjun appoints East Prince as Head of Male Immortals and Queen Mother of the West as Head of Female Immortals.
• The appointment shocks the assembly. Di Jun and Tai Yi react with concealed hostility, while the Three Pure Ones are surprised. Qing Huan remains amused and detached, apparently understanding more than he reveals.
• Hongjun bestows treasures upon the newly appointed leaders.

Character Developments

• Qing Huan: Demonstrates exceptional insight by transforming Hongjun’s teaching into an original, independent cultivation system rooted in the Time Law. He shows both ambition and caution, understanding the method’s power but also recognizing its nearly impossible requirements. His playful reaction to the appointments suggests he may know or anticipate future developments.
• Hongjun: Continues to act as the supreme authority of the Primordial Wilderness. He not only explains the Dao but also begins actively restructuring the world’s political order.
• Di Jun and Tai Yi: Reveal their confidence and ambition by assuming they will receive leadership positions. Their disappointment quickly turns into resentment when East Prince is selected instead.
• East Prince: Receives an unexpected promotion and responds with gratitude and determination, accepting the responsibility of restoring order.
• Queen Mother of the West: Is similarly elevated because of her Yin-based origin and accepts the role reverently.
• Tongtian: Shows curiosity about Qing Huan’s apparent composure and asks for an explanation through his gaze, but Qing Huan refuses to clarify.

Significant Themes

• Transcendence versus dependence: Qing Huan’s method seeks freedom from reliance on the Heavenly Dao, offering a path toward an entirely self-sustaining Dao and True Spirit.
• The nature of time and identity: Past, present, and future are treated as distinct aspects of existence that must each be understood and severed before true transcendence can be achieved.
• Self-confrontation: Advancement requires confronting karma, worldly desires, and one’s own future ambitions and fears.
• Balance between reality and illusion: The Future Corpse stage emphasizes Yin-Yang balance; excessive attachment to form leads to stagnation, while excessive immersion in illusion leads to annihilation.
• Power and qualification: Spiritual treasures, heavenly luck, and innate foundations determine who can pursue higher realms, highlighting the extreme inequality among cultivators.
• Unexpected authority and political order: Hongjun’s appointments challenge the assumptions of powerful figures such as Di Jun and Tai Yi, showing that prestige and leadership may be granted according to cosmic principles rather than personal strength or expectation.
