Returning to the Mountain and the Demon Abyss
After Jiang Yun left, he first went to the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace.
When the Witch-Demon destroyed the Immortal Court, it's unclear what the Dragon Clan did to prevent either clan from attacking the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace.
However, this had nothing to do with Jiang Yun. He came to the Dragon Palace only to ask the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace to look after the Human Clan and at the same time to restrain the East Sea tribes so as not to disturb the development of the Human Clan.
Given that the Human Clan was created by Nuwa, and with Jiang Yun's endorsement, Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea, was very pragmatic and readily agreed to Jiang Yun's request. This was a great opportunity to gain the favor of both a Popular Support and Quasi-Saint.
After giving his instructions, Jiang Yun didn't linger and returned directly to Mount Sumeru.
When Jiang Yun returned to Mount Sumeru, the mountain was completely peaceful.
He stood before the main hall atop the mountain, feeling the surging magical Magical Power within his body. After Three Corpses Slashed, his Dao Attainment had reached the peak of Quasi-Saint. His Primordial Spirit was as clear as a mirror, and endless Daoist charm flowed with every gesture.
" With Three Corpses Slashed, the next step is to become Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal..." Jiang Yun murmured to himself, his gaze profound.
However, how difficult is the Path to Hunyuan?
The Hongmeng Purple Qi is hard to come by; one must entrust Primordial Spirit's primordial spirit to the Heavenly Dao to attain Sainthood. Prove Dao with Merit requires great opportunities to gain great Merit. In the future, there will be some opportunities to obtain a large amount of Merit. Prove Dao with Strength is even more dangerous.
He currently has his Three Corpses residing in the Three Ways of Heaven, Earth, and Man within his Inner World. Once the World Law Rule mature, he can attempt to unify the Three Corpses Unification. Since they all originate from the same source, they should easily merge under the influence of the World Power.
If his Inner World could advance further and become Great Thousand World, Three Corpses could reach the Hunyuan Great Luo realm. When the three were combined, they would probably be comparable to the Hunyuan Taiji Great Luo, which is the Heavenly Dao Realm.
He pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered the Western Region Demon Abyss, a mysterious place that no one dared to venture into since Luohou's fall, the only unrestored region remaining in the Western World.
"Perhaps, with my current cultivation level, I can resolve the Demonic Qi in the Western Region Demon Abyss and restore this place to normal!"
He flashed and arrived at the Guardian Hall.
At this moment, Kong Xuan was handling religious affairs in the hall. Seeing him enter, he looked up and asked, "What? Didn't you go on a trip? You've finished so quickly?"
Jiang Yun nodded and said directly, "Kong Xuan, I'm planning to make a trip to the Demon Abyss."
Kong Xuan frowned. "The Demon Abyss? That's the source of Demonic Qi in the Western Land, extremely dangerous and unpredictable. Are you sure?"
"During this journey through the primordial world, I assisted the goddess Nuwa in successfully creating humans and gained some fortuitous opportunities. Now that I have severed all three of my physical bodies, my strength has greatly increased, and ordinary dangers are no longer a threat," Jiang Yun said in a deep voice. "Moreover, the Demon Abyss may contain opportunities left behind by Rahu. If we can obtain them, they will greatly benefit our Western Sect."
Kong Xuan pondered for a moment, then said, "This matter needs to be decided after the Two Religious Leaders, Jieyin and Zhunti, return."
Jiang Yun smiled and said, "Of course, I'm just discussing this with you first. We'll inform them after they return before we set off."
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Kong Xuan did not try to persuade him further, but simply said, "Since you have this intention, I will accompany you on this journey."
More than two thousand years later, auspicious clouds surged above Mount Sumeru, and Three Paths of light flew down from the Beyond Heaven, which were none other than Jieyin, Zhunti, and the Ziwei Star Lord.
Jiang Yun and Kong Xuan were already waiting at the mountain gate. Upon seeing the three return, they stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Welcome back to the mountain, Master and Uncle."
Jieyin slightly, his gaze lingering on Jiang Yun for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "The Three Corpses Slashed? Not bad~ Not bad~."
Zhunti smiled and said, "It seems you have another opportunity."
Jiang Yun humbly replied, "I was merely fortunate enough to witness the process of Empress Nuwa Creating Humans and achieving sainthood. It was precisely because of this opportunity that I was able to sever my Self Corpse."
The Ziwei Star Lord nodded approvingly. "Three Corpses Slashed, you've already taken a half-step into the Hunyuan. One more step and you'll reach the Sage Dao. You've already surpassed me."
Back in the main hall, Jiang Yun recounted in detail how Nuwa Creates Humans, explaining, "Compared to us Congenital Divine Demons, the Human Clan was initially weak, but their innate Dao bodies possess boundless potential. Nuwa, our Martial Uncle, created this race using the Way of Creation, and the Heavenly Dao bestowed immeasurable Merit upon her to help her achieve sainthood. This shows that the Human Clan is extraordinary and will surely have great opportunities in the future."
Jieyin pondered for a moment and said, "You mean, our Western Teachings should make preparations for the Human Clan in advance?"
"Indeed." Jiang Yun nodded. "Human Clan is still in its infancy and has no methods of cultivation. If our Western Teachings can pass on its Dao Lineage, it will surely receive the Fortune in the future."
In this life, he became the Holy Father of the Human Clan and possessed the supreme treasure of Dao of Humanity, the Kongtong Seal. It's uncertain whether Laozi can establish Human Religion among the Human Clan.
Zhunti for a moment. "This is feasible, but we must proceed with caution and avoid displeasing Nuwa."
The Ziwei Star Lord nodded in agreement.
Jieyin finally made the decision. "In that case, Jiang Yun will be in charge of this matter. When the time is right, we will send disciples to the Human Clan to spread the Dao."
After discussing matters concerning the Human Clan, Jiang Yun said, "Master, I have another matter to discuss."
Jieyin looked at him. "What is it?"
"Kong Xuan and I intend to explore the Demon Abyss."
Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent.
Zhunti frowned. "The Demon Abyss is dangerous. Although Luohou has perished, his Demonic Thought have not dissipated, and there may be Remnant Soul remaining. Are you confident in your ability to control it?"
Jiang Yun said in a deep voice, "Three Corpses Slashed my corpses, and my strength has reached the peak of Quasi-Saint. Ordinary dangers cannot harm me in the slightest, and even if I encounter danger, I can retreat unscathed."
Jieyin a moment of silence, Jieyin suddenly looked at Kong Xuan and asked, "Kong Xuan, are you going too?"
Jiang Yun nodded. "He has already agreed to come along. With me here, there shouldn't be any problems."
Jieyin a moment's thought, Jieyin finally nodded. "Since you're confident, then go!"
Having said that, he waved his sleeve, and two beams of spiritual light flew out, transforming into two lotus flowers that floated in the air.
One lotus is as white as jade, with crystal-clear petals, exuding an aura of purification; the other is shrouded in Purple Qi, its heart hinting at Reincarnation, mysterious and profound.
"I will temporarily lend you the Pure World White Lotus and the Reincarnation Purple Lotus the Two protection," the Jieyin solemnly said. "The Demon Abyss is treacherous; please be careful in all matters."
Jiang Yun and Kong Xuan accepted the lotus flower and bowed in unison in gratitude. "Thank you, Master (Sect Leader), for bestowing this treasure!"
Zhunti also cautioned, "If you encounter an insurmountable force, retreat immediately and do not be reckless."
The Ziwei Star Lord then took out a starlight talisman and handed it to Jiang Yun: "This talisman can draw upon the Circumference Star Power to protect the body; it may save your life in a critical moment."
Jiang Yun thanked him again and carefully put the talisman away.
With the three of them stationed at Mount Sumeru, and with the Ziwei Star Lord temporarily overseeing Kong Xuan's Guardian Hall, there's no need to worry about any actions taken by the Witch Clan or the Demon Clan. Moreover, they have gained a lot from this sermon and need to digest it properly.
