Chapter 43

This strategy also led to a rapid increase in the Immortal Venerable Gods within the Corpse Clan.

This speed also gave Jiang Chen new worries.

He thought, "The Corpse Clan relies on devouring to grow. If I restrict the mutual devouring of corpses above the Immortal Venerable God level, their growth rate might become extremely slow."

He hoped to create a canonical text that would allow the Corpse Clan to cultivate on their own, just like he did.

Just as cultivators of the New Era explore new forms of cultivation, the future Primordial World would also usher in new cultivation methods.

Although the Great Dao is boundless, only a few people can directly cultivate it.

Most cultivators will seek new paths, learning from their predecessors, which is the inevitable birth of canonical texts.

For mentors, it is impossible for everyone to guide them personally, especially for powers that appear as entire clans.

With canonical texts, clans can better pass down their heritage.

Those with outstanding talent can forge their own paths, while those with mediocre aptitude find the safest choice is to follow the paths of their predecessors.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Jiang Chen decided to create a cultivation canonical text for the Corpse Clan.

Much like Tai Ming's Primordial Chaos Dao Slaying Demon God Incarnation Book, this was also a good opportunity for Jiang Chen to organize his understanding of the Corpse Dao.

In the time of this Yuan, he had comprehended the power of many Great Dao Laws, and by sorting them out, he could integrate them into his own Corpse Dao System.

After a period of effort and reflection, he finally succeeded in creating a cultivation canonical text for the Corpse Dao lineage.

Looking at the entire Death Land again, because Jiang Chen's rules restricted the mutual devouring of the Corpse Clan, the number of corpses decreased by countless times, but there appeared trillions of Immortal Venerable God level corpses.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen felt fortunate for his foresight in creating a new cultivation method for the Corpse Clan to cultivate and grow.

The Corpse Dao originates from the Primordial World's Source of Negativity, feeding on living beings and Negative Energy. Although they lack Nascent Soul cultivation, they can continuously evolve their Corpse Body and master Corpse Dao power.

Just as I can draw power from the Netherworld Blood Sea and Death Forbidden Zones, the Corpse Clan can also strengthen themselves through the Primordial World's Negative Energy.

Negative Energy is ubiquitous in the Primordial World. The Netherworld Blood Sea and Death Forbidden Zones are just two relatively concentrated areas, with more scattered throughout the entire Primordial World.

Therefore, Jiang Chen focused on this vast reservoir of energy.

More importantly, with no one competing for this resource, the Corpse Clan could gain a monopoly.

Clearing these Negative Energies would not only help restore order to the Primordial World but might even earn Heavenly Dao Merit.

Although the Corpse Clan is often overlooked, they silently contribute to the entire Primordial World.

There is no absolute distinction between the positive and negative sides of the world; the existence of the Corpse Dao is a manifestation of the extreme of the negative leading to the extreme of the positive in Yin and Yang.

Jiang Chen projected the light of inheritance onto the Corpse Clan, dividing it into the Profound Method of Heavenly Corpse Giving Birth to Gods, and instructed them to switch to this method, cultivating by absorbing the Primordial World's Negative Energy to condense a Corpse Dao Golden Core.

This method is only suitable for cultivators of the Immortal Venerable God realm and above, and for members of the Corpse Clan who have developed advanced sentience.

Because the Corpse Clan does not produce a Nascent Soul, their difficulty in gaining wisdom is far greater than that of other living beings.

Jiang Chen discovered that in the Primordial World of this era, Corpse Clan members below the Immortal realm lacked sufficient wisdom to comprehend the profound mysteries of this technique.

If they were to cultivate the <Profound Method of Heavenly Corpse Giving Birth to Gods>, they would only instinctively devour negative energy without being able to perfect their Corpse Dao Core and embark on the true path of cultivation.

Corpse Clan members who do not cultivate the Great Dao are like the Fierce Beasts of the past, universally reviled.

In the Primordial World, how can those who do not cultivate the Great Dao be called Dao Seekers? Even if the Corpse Clan evolves to the Grand Unity realm, without the Power of the Great Dao, they might not even be able to contend with ordinary Grand Unity cultivators.

Unless the limits of the Corpse Clan can be elevated to the level of Chaos Demon Gods, it is still best to focus on cultivating the Corpse Dao.

Breaking all laws with a single force is by no means easy, and not everyone can turn the tide like Pangu.

As the Primordial World continuously progresses, the wisdom threshold for the Corpse Clan is also constantly lowering.

In the future, Corpse Dao cultivation methods will also be more complete, allowing even Corpse Clan members below the Immortal realm to cultivate.

Of course, there will always be limits to evolution through devouring.

Just like the Fierce Beast Clan, which was formed from the Remnant Body of Chaos Demon Gods, they could not reach the realm of Chaos Demon Gods no matter how much they devoured.

Fierce Beasts at the Grand Unity level were also extremely rare.

Therefore, Shen Ni created the Path of Gods and Devils, allowing the Fierce Beast Clan to transform into demon gods with him as their template.

The current Corpse Clan is also like this, they are transforming towards Jiang Chen, the Progenitor of the Corpse Clan.

The <Profound Method of Heavenly Corpse Giving Birth to Gods> is the law for all Corpse Clan members to transform into Jiang Chen.

The first step is to give them the Corpse Dao Seed—the Corpse Dao Golden Core, which is the core of negative energy.

When the Corpse Dao Golden Core completes nine revolutions, the Corpse Clan will become purer, closer to the state of Innate Divine Beings, and their strength can reach the perfection of the Immortal Venerable God realm.

As long as the Corpse Core is not destroyed, the Corpse Clan is immortal!

The next step is for the Corpse Dao Golden Core to break and then establish itself, completely integrating into the Corpse Clan's body, forming the immortal Zombie True Body, similar to the form of Jiang Chen's true body.

At this point, the Corpse Clan's power can rival that of ordinary Grand Unity Venerable Gods. Every move they make carries an attack imbued with the Power of the Corpse Dao, similar to the Witch Clan in the legends of the myriad realms.

Jiang Chen is exploring the higher Corpse Dao Grand Unity realm, but he stated that this part is not yet complete.

With Jiang Chen's enlightenment, the Corpse Clan began to get on the right track, officially embarking on the cultivation journey of the Corpse Dao.

The Corpse Clan transformed into Negative Energy Vortexes within the Death Forbidden Zone, and even more so, they manifested their Zombie True Bodies.

Jiang Chen felt his Corpse Dao becoming the Main Vein, with numerous Branch Veins constantly growing, heralding terrifying future advancements.

Jiang Chen's cultivation was like the entire Corpse Clan's achievements bound together, strengthening as the Corpse Clan grew.

When the Corpse Clan got on track with their cultivation in the Corpse Dao, he would usher in a period of explosive growth in strength, potentially even catching up to the cultivation realm of his Main Soul, Tai Ming.

However, despite the joy in his heart, Jiang Chen was still clear that he was trapped in this place.

Thus, he conceived a bold idea—since he couldn't leave, why not refine the entire Death Land?

Although he alone couldn't shake the Death Land, which was like a great world, with the birth of numerous Corpse Clans and shared achievements, if all the Corpse Clans joined forces to refine this forbidden zone, there would be a possibility of success.

After careful consideration, Jiang Chen decided to try.

He commanded all the Corpse Clans to refine this forbidden zone world with all their might.

Although they were a group of Corpse Clans below the Great Unity realm, they actually managed to shake this great world.

From the rocks and mountains to the rivers, and then to the dark clouds... billions of Taiyi Corpse Clans and trillions of Immortal Venerable Gods, like marching ants, moved in an orderly fashion, leaving the imprint of the Corpse Dao wherever they went.

When the Death Forbidden Zone was refined to one ten-thousandth, the world's origin began to condense before Jiang Chen's eyes.

Jiang Chen gazed at the origin and instantly realized that his plan had been perfectly realized.

"It's truly incredible, with my insignificant strength, I was actually able to defeat the powerful Demon Ancestor Rahu."

He sighed with emotion.

"The power of all beings can invert the universe, shake heaven and earth, churn the oceans, change the trajectory of destiny, and even help me refine the entire universe!"

At this moment, he entered a state of enlightenment for the first time, and endless insights into the Corpse Dao surged in his heart.

At a visible speed, the more than a hundred complete laws of the Three Thousand Great Daos that he originally possessed began to surge.

From three hundred to five hundred, then to a thousand, three thousand... until a full thirty thousand complete laws were condensed, he finally awoke from his enlightenment.

"Is this what enlightenment feels like?"

He muttered to himself, "No wonder my strength could reach such a state in such a short period."

However, he was also clear, "My Corpse Dao, compared to Tai Ming's Ghost Dao, is still somewhat inferior.

Thirty thousand Innate Great Dao laws are already my limit."

Next, he planned to break through to become a Great Unity.

Unlike Tai Ming, he knew himself well and knew that the changes of the Ghost Dao could not be replicated.

He could completely follow the path of most Primordial Grand Unity experts, breaking through first, then gradually accumulating Foundation, and finally reaching the peak of the Thirty-Six Layers of Great Luo Dao Realm.

Just as Jiang Chen began to refine this Death Forbidden Zone world, the Primordial land, apart from the occasional emergence of prodigies, appeared unusually calm overall.

The powerhouses of the major forces are still in seclusion, and the new generation of prodigies has not yet entered the Grand Unity era, so they cannot ignore the limitations of time and space.

But in the Virtual Primordial World, it is exceptionally lively, and the limitations of distance in reality no longer exist in the virtual world.

The new generation of Primordial prodigies have gathered at the virtual Buzhou Mountain, engaging in fierce battles.

In their spare time from cultivation, they enjoy discussing who is stronger and who is weaker.

Among them, the Son of God from the Divine Court lineage is hailed as the strongest below Grand Unity, possessing the Archaic Three Sovereigns Bloodline, and has yet to encounter an opponent.

However, Mysterious Yin True Lord and Pure Yang True Lord from the Heavenly Dao lineage can join forces to manifest the Taiji Dao Diagram, possessing astonishing power.

There is also Old Ancestor Nether River from the Earthly Dao lineage, who has mastered the Blood Sea Nether River Dao and can claim a domain of his own.

All beings are releasing themselves in various ways in the Virtual Primordial World, enjoying debates, and the stubborn Primordial Beings even dare to criticize the Mighty Beings of the Grand Unity realm.

However, as the true prodigies begin to compete, a shocking change concerning the future of the Virtual Primordial World is quietly unfolding.

In this battle, the Son of God, full of spirit, challenged Mysterious Yin True Lord, a powerhouse of the Heavenly Dao lineage, and defeated him.

Just as he was about to accept his victory, Old Ancestor Nether River suddenly appeared.

The battle intent between the two sides quickly escalated, triggering a fierce confrontation.

A virtual battle immediately sparked a grander debate: What is the strongest Dao? A decisive battle will reveal the answer within this virtual world.

Upon hearing the Son of God's bold declaration, Old Ancestor Nether River was equally fearless.

He had lived for a long time and had seen many arrogant newcomers like the Son of God; he had not feared even when all the gods gathered in the Divine Holy Period.

He firmly believed that the path he walked and the sword in his hand were the only ways to achieve power, not just boasting like the other party.

So, when the Son of God heard Old Ancestor Nether River's taunt, he immediately became enraged.

Facing Old Ancestor Nether River's challenge, the Son of God immediately displayed his formidable strength, wielding a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure-level Divine Halberd and Divine Armor, instantly forcing Old Ancestor Nether River to unleash the Blood Sea Nether River transformed from the Great Dao.

Within the Virtual Primordial World of Buzhou Mountain, this battle immediately attracted a large number of onlookers.

The onlookers began to discuss who would gain the upper hand, and the battle had been evenly matched so far, with the next step depending on who would reveal a flaw first.

These onlookers had discerning eyes, and among them might be hidden Grand Unity Venerable Gods.

The two combatants were fully focused, and the battle had already lasted for hundreds of days, from the virtual Buzhou Mountain to the Virtual East Sea, attracting more and more attention.

Even the strongest among the new generation of Grand Unity Venerable Gods, such as Ancestor Dragon's Nine Sons, Kong Xuan, Garuda, Cai Feng, and the Five-Colored Qilin, believed they were evenly matched.

The old generation of Grand Unity experts from the Archaic Era could not help but marvel at the rapid growth of the juniors upon witnessing this scene.

After the Heavenly Dao displayed its power, their cultivation speed was like using a cheat.

Although their Foundation could not compare to the Archaic Grand Unity experts who directly cultivated the Dao, their cultivation speed was enough to compensate for everything.

While the great war in the Virtual Primordial World was raging, what no one noticed was that a powerful Dark Energy was quietly being born in the Origin Land of the Virtual Primordial World.

With the perfect integration with the real Primordial World, the Virtual Primordial World also began to experience problems similar to reality.

The venting of all beings in the Virtual Primordial World caused Negative Energy to accumulate and grow stronger.
