After completing his last seclusion to adjust his Physical Body Cultivation Method, Jiang Yun rested for a period of time after emerging from seclusion to adjust his physical and mental state in preparation for the next stage of seclusion.
Back in the Quiet Room, Jiang Yun began to meditate and calm his mind; he was preparing to Corpse Slashing.
He used the Dao Derivation Disk to deduce all the details of the Three Corpses Method and the World Law once again. This time, he intended to combine the strengths of both to achieve his own path of cultivation.
The Yin-Yang Fetal Membrane from last time have already helped the Inner World grow considerably. The Heavenly Dao within the world is almost complete, while the Earthly Dao and the Dao of Humanity are also growing.
However, his Dao of Humanity is far inferior to the other two paths. This is mainly because Jiang Yun has not devoted much energy to the beings in his Inner World, letting them develop naturally.
He had also considered reflecting some races and creatures from the Primordial Desolation World into his Inner World, so that perhaps Dao of Humanity in the world would grow rapidly. However, when he was about to implement this, a bad omen suddenly arose in his heart.
He then used the Dao Derivation Disk to conceal the Heavenly Secrets and made some calculations. He realized that this approach would create great Karma ties with many powerful figures and would be counterproductive, so he gave up the idea.
Jiang Yun calmed his mind and began to mobilize the emotions within his body. The Good Corpse of a person is a collection of positive emotions. In order to sever it, he first had to find the location of the Good Corpse, then nurture and strengthen it to take shape before it could be severed from the body.
Since coming into this world, he has spent most of his time in the Western Region. Having lived in the Western World for so long, he has a deep love for his Western Region.
Following this profound love for heaven and earth, he gradually followed the flow of his emotions to search for the location of the Good Corpse within his body.
He also owed it to the power of his Inner World, a power that could make various emotional energies manifest. In this way, his mind could easily follow the guidance of his emotions and slowly find the location of the Good Corpse.
After finding the Good Corpse, he mobilized his emotions and amplified the goodness within him: his love for heaven and earth, his respect and admiration for his teachers, his friendship and care for his fellow disciples, and his sincerity and mutual benefit towards his allies...
All these emotions transformed into resources that strengthened the Good Corpse within his body. At a certain moment, when the Good Corpse reached its peak, Jiang Yun raised his hand and used his own Laws to sever the Good Corpse, which then merged into the collection of Laws within the Heavenly Dao Space of his Inner World.
Subsequently, the Laws absorbed the Good Corpse. Now that the Heavenly Dao possesses Jiang Yun's Good Corpse consciousness, it no longer blindly follows the rules but can utilize them. Well, he has finally achieved the Quasi-Saint Realm.
Quiet Room, Jiang Yun's aura rose and fell like the tides. At the moment when the Heavenly Dao Space in his Inner World and the Good Corpse Perfect World merged, a profound Dao rhythm soared from his Heavenly Crown, transforming into the image of Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown at the top of the Quiet Room's dome.
After a violent tremor, the Heavenly Dao Space gradually stabilized. The originally illusory flower of benevolence now solidified, with the light and shadow of the World Evolution flowing across its petals.
"So this is the Quasi-Saint realm... With the severing of the Good Corpse, my mind and spirit are closer to the Primordial Desolation Heavenly Dao, allowing me to mobilize some of the Laws within the Heavenly Dao to empower myself."
With a slight thought, Jiang Yun's Inner World's Heavenly Dao immediately responded, and at the same time, the world and space of his 365 Acupoints trembled, with a vast World Power surging within his Physical Body.
At this moment, he only needs a single thought to invoke the Heavenly Dao Laws of a small part of the Middle Thousand World.
To test his skill level, he formed a sword shape with his fingers and made a light slash.
No spiritual light was seen at his fingertips, yet a smooth cut appeared silently on the stone wall three zhang away. This was a rift formed by directly manipulating the Space Law. Compared to the Great Luo era, when he needed to activate his Magical Power to unleash his Divine Ability, now every move he made was a manipulation of the power of the Heaven and Earth Laws.
Moreover, he can invoke the Primordial Desolation Heavenly Dao and also control the Inner World Heavenly Dao within his own body, resulting in double enhancement and boundless power.
"Now that the Good Corpse is complete, let's test its effect on the world's growth!"
Jiang Yun's Primordial Spirit sank into his Inner World. At this moment, at the top of the Kunlun Wood, the collective consciousness of the Heavenly Dao had transformed into a hazy ball of light, within which a figure identical to Jiang Yun could be vaguely seen sitting cross-legged.
Sensing the arrival of the main body, a wisp of pure energy separated from the ball of light and landed to take shape, which was the Good Corpse Avatar wearing a Daoist robe with Star Rune.
"Greetings, fellow Daoist." The Good Corpse cupped its hands and smiled, its body radiating a gentle aura of the Heavenly Dao.
Unlike the Three Pure Ones Incarnation each had their own distinct personalities after their Corpse Slashing, this Good Corpse, because it was in harmony with the Heavenly Dao, appeared even more upright and peaceful.
Jiang Yun nodded in response; their hearts were in sync, and no further words were needed.
The Good Corpse raised its hand to invoke the power of the Heavenly Dao, Yin-Yang Fetal Membrane at the edge of the world suddenly accelerated its absorption and release of Chaos, with the conversion efficiency increasing by more than 50% compared to before.
As Chaos Qi was continuously poured in, the Earth Veins of the central continent roared, and another Innate Spirit Veins was being conceived.
"Excellent!" Jiang Yun himself couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
With Good Corpse presiding over the Heavenly Dao, the world's growth rate can be described as rapid as a thousand miles a day.
He suddenly sensed something, his Primordial Spirit returned to his Physical Body, and he took out the Dao Derivation Disk to deduce the Dao. Starlight flowed on the disc's surface, indicating that according to the current progress, it would only take three Kalpa for his Inner World to naturally advance to the Great Thousand World.
Just as they were rejoicing, a deep voice from the Black Tortoise suddenly came from outside the Cave Abode: "Boy, the Jieyin have sensed your breakthrough aura and are already at your Cave Abode. Don't keep them waiting."
Jiang Yun quickly composed herself and left the Quiet Room.
Jieyin, Zhunti, and the Ziwei Star Lord were drinking tea in the hall. Upon seeing him appear, Zhunti the first to smile and say, "Nephew, with your breakthrough, our Western Teachings has gained another Quasi-Saint. This is truly a cause for celebration!"
Jiang Yun spent a lot of time in seclusion this time. During this period, Jieyin successfully severed his Evil Corpse and advanced his cultivation to a higher level. Zhunti and Ziwei Star Lord had no other good Spiritual Treasure or Spirit Root to choose from, so they temporarily suppressed their breakthroughs.
During the conversation, Jiang Yun learned that after his teacher used the Twelve-grade Merit Golden Lotus to sever the Good Corpse, he used the Pure World White Lotus provided by his teacher to sever the Evil Corpse. Now that Two Corpses are still present, his cultivation has reached the Quasi-Saint Middle Stage. He quickly offered his congratulations.
"Now that you've broken through, there are some things you should prepare for." Jieyin put down his teacup, and a Golden Light flew out from his sleeve, transforming into a three-dimensional image. "The exploration of the Guixu is imminent, and this time we discovered..."
The image shows Chaos Whirlpool surrounding the Guixu, marked with seven flashing points of light.
Jieyin explained that these are the Safe Path recently deduced. Taking these paths can reduce the energy expenditure of everyone and allow them to face the challenges inside the Guixu in better condition.
The Western Teachings now has four Quasi-Saint, plus Black Tortoise, a Great Luo Peak. This is a formidable force, which he believes is sufficient to deal with the unknown Demon God Remnant Soul in the Guixu.
"We will set off in a thousand years," Zhunti added. "You've just broken through; you can consolidate your realm first."
Jiang Yun nodded solemnly.
After discussing some details, he immediately returned to his Quiet Room and began to adjust his state after the Jieyin left.
Under the introspection of the Primordial Spirit, the Good Corpse was organizing the Laws in the Heavenly Dao Space.
Seeing the main body's attention, the Good Corpse transmitted its thoughts. "The Chaos Qi the Guixu is violent, but I can adjust the properties of the Yin-Yang Fetal Membrane in advance." As it spoke, it manipulated the Heavenly Dao to change the structure of the Fetal Membrane, making them more resistant to Chaos.
At the same time, Jiang Yun took out the Three Lives Stone and other Spiritual Treasure obtained from the Treasure Distribution Cliff and refined them one by one with the World Power.
When Spiritual Power was injected into the Sin Mirror, the mirror suddenly reflected the scene of the Guixu —it was actually a rare treasure that could see into the Land of Nine Netherworlds. With a thought, he entrusted these Spiritual Treasure to the Good Corpse to nurture, as they might be of great use in the future.
