Between Existence and Non-existence, The Method of Becoming a Saint

"Exactly, exactly." Yuanshi's old face broke into a smile. He was proud of his disciple, happier than anyone!

One must know that Yuanshi was extremely protective of his own. This was evident from the Investiture of the Gods! Initially, it was his disciples from the Heavenly Origin Sect who had committed the killing tribulation, and thus his sect should have been the one to receive the Investiture of the Gods. But what happened? He dragged in Taishang Laojun, one of his elder brother Laozi's good corpses, and all the disciples of his third brother Tongtian were forced into the tribulation!

One could imagine how protective Yuanshi was, and how meticulous and cunning he was!

"Since that is the case, my disciple has not yet awakened. How about we discuss the Dao for a while?" Yuanshi said with a smile.

"Excellent!" Tongtian and Laozi nodded simultaneously. Fuxi, seeing this, also nodded and said, "Then Fuxi respectfully accepts your invitation."

"Good, I shall begin then," Laozi smiled and said, "Between existence and non-existence lies the Great Dao. The Great Dao is called 'wu wei' (non-action). Wu wei is also fearless. Fearless and yet..."

Laozi spoke slowly. While golden lotuses did not sprout from his mouth, the flowers by the pavilion bloomed vibrantly. Many small demons quietly stayed thousands of steps away, listening to Laozi and the others discuss the Dao.

Many people say that Laozi cultivates the Dao of Wu Wei, of non-action, of doing nothing. This is incorrect. Taiqing Laozi, Yuqing Yuanshi, and Shangqing Tongtian, the Three Pure Ones, are all from Pangu. Their cultivation methods, their Daos, are different yet the same!

For example, Yuqing Yuanshi cultivates by explaining heavenly principles and following the will of heaven. This is from existence to non-existence.

Another example, Shangqing Tongtian cultivates by 'jie', by intercepting a sliver of life between heaven and earth. This is from non-existence to existence.

As for Taiqing Laozi, he cultivates 'wei' (action). Wei is also movement, action, doing. This is also known as what can be done, and what cannot be done. This is from between existence and non-existence!

Each of the Three Pure Ones inherited from Great God Pangu. To give an analogy, Great God Pangu awoke from Chaos. Seeing that Chaos was uninteresting, he wanted to create an interesting world. This is from non-existence to existence!

Then the three thousand demon gods obstructed him, so he slew them. After killing all three thousand demon gods, some escaped and some died. This is from existence to non-existence!

Taiqing Laozi's cultivation is precisely between existence and non-existence, named: Wei!

Soon, the Three Pure Ones finished their discussion of the Dao, and Nuwa awoke. She was currently facing the tribulation of severing her corpse, but she did not have a spiritual treasure to sever her corpse...

It is shameful to say, but Nuwa had been in seclusion since her form transformation. Had she gone out to gain experience? She really hadn't! With her brother Fuxi, who doted on her, everything was taken care of for her, and she just quietly lived as a princess.

In modern terms, Nuwa was a shut-in, a very beautiful one at that!

But now? She didn't even have a spiritual treasure to sever her corpse... Pitiful (д) and helpless, and sad. Where had her brother gone? He hadn't even given her a spiritual treasure...

Thinking of this, Nuwa glanced at Chen Tian, who seemed to still be in enlightenment. Hearing the sound of the discussion on the Dao, she went over.

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa? Come, come, let us discuss the Dao!" Laozi was still lecturing when Tongtian called out.

"Then Nuwa will not disturb you," Nuwa bowed and also sat in the pavilion. Fuxi immediately waved his hand, and a cup of tea appeared before Nuwa.

Damn it! Why does this feel so much like love? No!! This is sibling affection!

The Three Pure Ones and the Fuxi siblings discussed the Dao, while Chen Tian was still busy cultivating the Immortal Dao Body!

The Immortal Dao Body is very similar to the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, but also different! Because the Immortal Dao Body cultivation will cultivate a primordial spirit. Although the primordial spirit is very weak, it is still a primordial spirit!

However, when combined with the Lunar Divine Skill or the Solar Divine Skill, it would be perfect.

The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique only cultivates the physical body!

Also, the complete Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique does not exist in the Primordial World!

Stop believing those novels that say you can become a Saint by stealing the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique from the Witch Clan or tricking them. The complete Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique does not exist in the Primordial World.

This is because of the Heavenly Dao's schemes!

The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique is Great God Pangu's method for cultivating the physical body, while the Nine Revolutions Origin Technique is Great God Pangu's method for cultivating the primordial spirit. The two combined are the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique!

After Great God Pangu transformed into the Primordial World, the Nine Revolutions Origin Technique was divided into three parts and given to the Three Pure Ones, renamed the Taiqing Dao Method, Yuqing Dao Method, and Shangqing Dao Method.

The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique was given to the Twelve Ancestral Witches. However, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were formed from Great God Pangu's essence blood and absorbed the malevolent energy of the three thousand demon gods to transform. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao feared that if the Twelve Ancestral Witches became Saints, they would slay it. Thus, it changed the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique to eight revolutions!

Although the name is still Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, there are only truly eight revolutions, achieving the Quasi-Saint realm, not the Saint realm!

This is why the Twelve Ancestral Witches could never become Saints.

As for Houtu, it was because she was the youngest among the Twelve Ancestral Witches and absorbed the least malevolent energy from the three thousand demon gods. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao allowed her to transform into the cycle of reincarnation!

The Heavenly Dao's original plan was for Hongjun to unify with the Dao and rule the heavens, and for Houtu to transform into the cycle of reincarnation and rule the earth. However, perhaps Hongjun was unwilling, and thus he schemed against Houtu, which led to the Great Compassionate Empress Houtu only being able to stay in the Underworld and not enter the Primordial World.

But if the Immortal Dao Body were given to the Twelve Ancestral Witches... it would be interesting if the Twelve Ancestral Witches cultivated primordial spirits then.

Of course, Chen Tian did not have that intention yet.

Two thousand six hundred years later, the discussion of the Dao between the Three Pure Ones and the Fuxi siblings also concluded.

If they were to continue discussing the Dao, they could, but there were only four hundred years left until they had to go to the Purple Heaven Palace, so they had to stop.

As for Chen Tian's cultivation, by this time, Dao marks had faintly appeared on his body!

This was the cultivation method of the Immortal Dao Body! Currently, the "Immortal Dao Body" had reached the peak of the fifth revolution and was close to the sixth revolution.

Chen Tian's physical body and primordial spirit had both reached the peak of the Taiyi Profound Immortal realm! He was about to break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!

Currently, the Heavenly Dao was incomplete, and there wasn't even a form transformation tribulation, only a Grand Unity tribulation! A heavenly tribulation would descend upon breaking through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm!

"Greetings to the three masters, senior Fuxi, and sister Nuwa." Chen Tian awoke and came to the pavilion to bow.

"Why do you call me senior and my sister sister?" Fuxi asked with a cold face. Damn it! You scoundrel, you're shameless! So vulgar!

Chen Tian: Where am I being vulgar?

"Then what should I call you? Should I call you brother-in-law?" Chen Tian rolled his eyes.

"What is brother-in-law??" Fuxi looked confused. Of course, in the Primordial World era, how could the term "brother-in-law" exist?

"He's my Dao Companion's older brother. Chen Tian looked at Nuwa and chuckled, then turned to Fuxi and directly rolled his eyes, saying, 'Brother-in-law!'"

Fuxi's face turned red and his neck bulged with anger. He stood up and said, "Daoist Tongtian, lend me your Qingping Sword for a moment. I want to skin this fellow and see if his hide is thicker than Buzhou Mountain!"

The Three Pure Ones watched the scene with smiles, while Nuwa naturally blushed and avoided looking at Chen Tian. Did he not understand her meaning yet?

"Cough, cough, forget it, forget it. Just a little joke between juniors," Tongtian coughed twice and looked at Chen Tian, saying, "By the way, disciple, why did it take you so long to comprehend the Dao this time?"

This enlightenment took Chen Tian even longer than the Three Pure Ones!

Tongtian: This old man is feeling unbalanced! Speak up! Let's see if this old man doesn't retort you to death!

"Alas, this disciple woke up faster than my masters. After waiting for a long time, none of you woke up, so I went to study the Dao Method. Unexpectedly, I comprehended a method to become a Saint. I decided to cultivate it, and it turned out quite well!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Three Pure Ones were dumbfounded, Fuxi was shocked, Nuwa was surprised, and even Hongjun, who was secretly peeking, was startled!

Cough, cough... This chapter is a freebie. It's for the contract! So, three chapters have been released today, and there will be no update tonight!
