The hall was filled with the sounds of Daoist philosophy, and the crowd was engaged in a deep discussion.

After exchanging some ideas about the methods of attaining enlightenment, the Three Pure Ones took the lead in bringing up the subsequent practice of the Three Corpses Method explained by Old Ancestor Hongjun during this sermon, specifically how to find the Self Corpse among the Three Corpses, and the problems that might be encountered during the process of Three Corpses Unification.

In fact, after listening to the Dao, the Three Pure Ones always had some unusual feelings, as if something was missing. The warnings from heaven and Fortune caused by their luck also made them a little uneasy. However, the joy of obtaining the treasure made them suppress these unusual emotions.

Of the ten people present, apart from Jiang Yun, all the others were Quasi-Saint who had severed one of their physical bodies. After listening to the Dao this time, they would probably be close to severing Two Corpses as well!

However, as the saying goes, it is easy to cut off good and evil, but difficult to find one's true nature. The two corpses of good and evil can be easily found through emotional guidance, and after being nurtured in the body, they can be cut out of the body.

However, one must constantly seek one's true self, reflect on past experiences, and earnestly understand life in order to rediscover it in the long river of time. Then, one must continuously strengthen this belief, question one's true self, and only when the belief takes shape can it be broken free.

In this respect, the Western Region actually has a significant advantage, mainly because Jieyin the Two Zhunti obtained the Void Spirit Protection Seal from the Heavenly Dao. This magical Divine Ability is used to protect the True Spirit of living beings.

However, a person's True Spirit best reflects their personal pursuits. When the True Spirit is in a state of emptiness and thoughtlessness, many distracting thoughts will be eliminated from the mind, revealing the original intention and obsession. Then, using this thought as a guide, one can find the location of the Obsession Corpse.

Regarding the issue of Self Corpse, everyone has their own set of methods, and everyone had in-depth exchanges on some related concepts.

Next came the main event. During the sermon, Hongjun explained a Secret Technique for merging the Three Corpses Unification, how to separate the Three Corpses from the Corpse Slashing Spiritual Treasure and reintegrate them into the body and Primordial Spirit, and how to solve the problem of repulsion between the Three Corpses and the main body during the merging process.

To be honest, the purpose of severing the Three Corpses from the body is to eliminate extreme personal emotions, making it easier for people to concentrate their minds and comprehend the Heavenly Dao Laws. When finally breaking through to the Hunyuan Great Luo realm, it is still necessary for the living being to fuse this part of the Three Corpse Bodies that govern human emotions and intellect to be considered complete.

However, when the Three Corpses are attached to Spiritual Treasure or other objects, they will inevitably absorb the aura of Laws and other elements contained within them. As a result, the Three Corpse Gods that are retrieved will inevitably have different auras of Laws and elements.

Regarding this point, the Fusion Secret Technique has a relevant solution, but the entire process of the Three Corpses Unification should be one of the core elements of the Three Corpses Method, and there should be quite a few key points involved. The way Old Ancestor Hongjun described it is too simple, making it a little hard to believe.

As Innate Demon God, they are not so easily fooled. They will not easily cultivate many Daoist techniques before they have been seriously verified.

Jiang Yun exchanged glances with Jieyin, Zhunti, the Ziwei Star Lord, Zhenyuanzi, and Hong Yun, and they all nodded almost imperceptibly.

Zhunti spoke Zhunti, saying, "Fellow Daoists, the following words are of great importance, and we must handle them with caution. I hope you will not take offense."

After speaking, five of the six used their Quasi-Saint power to disrupt the Heavenly Secrets of this world, and then joined forces to seal off the surrounding space.

"Hmm, what are you doing... to prevent information from leaking?" Tongtian realized the intention behind their actions.

The celestial phenomena above Kunlun Mountain suddenly became chaotic, the previously clear Heavenly Dao trajectories became blurred, and the space inside the palace was sealed off by layers upon layers of Law Chains.

Yuanshi's expression changed, and some thoughts began to form in his mind. "Are you all on guard against that person?"

Zhunti his hands together, said nothing, and simply nodded slightly.

Laozi's eyes swirled with the Yin-Yang Two Energies, and suddenly, with a flick of his sleeve, he created a illusory Taiji symbol that enveloped the entire Three Pure Ones Hall: "In that case, why not add another layer of Restriction?"

Nuwa listened to their conversation, her thoughts became clearer. She noticed the solemn expressions on the faces of the Western Region, even the usually carefree Hong Yun was tense. Alarm bells rang in her heart. "Could it be... that there's something wrong with the Three Corpses Method?"

"Fellow Daoists," Jieyin slowly began, "On the eve of the Third Lecture, my Western Region Dharma Protector Black Tortoise Turtle, was nearly possessed by the Remnant Souls of Chaos Demon Gods."

Jieyin guide spoke about something unrelated to the others' topic. The others were a little curious but didn't pay much attention and waited for him to continue.

"I imagine some of you are wondering why I'm bringing up this seemingly unrelated matter. But what I'm about to say is that Luohou, during the Great Dao-Demon Tribulation, was actually a Remnant Souls of Chaos Demon Gods who possessed the bodies of my Primordial World Living Beings."

The hall fell silent.

Tongtian's hand, which was caressing the Qingping Sword, suddenly stopped. The jade bell tied to the sword tassel rang out with a crisp "ding," and Laozi, Laozi, and the Yuanshi also looked surprised.

The secret revealed by Jieyin was truly shocking: a Chaos Demon Gods rejected by the Primordial Desolation World was able to become the master of the Tribulation Cycle, contend with the three races and Hongjun, and even almost survived the Great Tribulation to become a saint.

"Is this really true?" Laozi asked Jieyin to confirm.

Jieyin nodded. "This matter was personally experienced by Zhunti and me. If it weren't for the Heavenly Dao the Two us, we would probably have ended up like that Western Region who was possessed."

"After the second lecture, my Zhunti, my disciple Jiang Yun, and I seriously deduced the Three Corpses Method together. With the help of a precious treasure, we made some progress."

The most important point is that, according to our deductions, the objects used to entrust the Three Corpse Gods in the Three Corpses Method must be of the same origin; otherwise, the subsequent fusion of the three into one may cause unrest.

However, this matter was never mentioned in the sermon, which made the three of us doubt the Old Ancestor Hongjun.

However, thinking that he might explain this matter during the Third Lecture, we didn't think much of it at the time. But when he didn't mention it at all during this lecture, we realized that the Three Corpses Method might be a trap.

Considering the story of Luohou possessing the Primordial World of Innate Demon God, perhaps this Old Ancestor Hongjun is the same!

Jieyin's words were like a bolt from the blue, sending chills down everyone's spines. Although the amount of information contained was not much, it was enough to make people's hearts tremble.

After they calmed down, they carefully recalled in their minds all of Hongjun's actions from the last Great Tribulation to his attainment of sainthood.

During the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, the three races were manipulated by Hongjun, Luohou, and others. When the three races were instigated to fight each other on the stage and were severely weakened, these the Two came out to clean up the mess and harvest their Fortune. It was through this that Hongjun was able to become a saint.

He then preached to the world, Purple Sky Palace welcomed Three Thousand Guests, reaping the Fortune of these Xiantian gods once again. During his Third Lecture, he had already said that he was about to Union with the Dao, which was probably the purpose of his preaching.

So, what was his purpose in Union with the Dao?
