World Dao Proving Method? Are Thirty-Six Saint Incarnations Really Okay?!

"Not bad. Earlier than this master expected."

Inside Biyou Palace.

Sect Master Tongtian lounged sideways upon the great seat, looking lazy and at ease. His saintly eyes seemed capable of seeing through every obstruction, inspecting Cangyuan inside and out.

He saw that Cangyuan's Grand Unity Dao Fruit was perfectly round and singular, without the slightest flaw. He was a top-tier Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!

His future attainment of Quasi-Sainthood was already set in stone.

"It is all thanks to Teacher's guidance."

Cangyuan bowed and smiled.

Sect Master Tongtian smiled faintly. "Now that you have Attained the Great Luo, it is time to consider how you will attain Quasi-Sainthood."

"To attain Quasi-Sainthood through Severing Three Corpses, you must prepare three Innate Spiritual Treasures to house the three corpses of good, evil, and self. Your reserves of Innate Spiritual Treasures are sufficient, but... it would be best to prepare spiritual treasures of the same root and origin to sever the three corpses. That is the optimal choice."

In the Prehistoric World, spiritual treasures of the same root and origin were exceedingly rare. Even the Six Saints had not managed to gather three Innate Spiritual Treasures of the same root and origin to sever their corpses and attain enlightenment.

Thus, Sect Master Tongtian was merely mentioning it in passing.

Just as Sect Master Tongtian finished speaking, before Cangyuan could respond, the system popped up first.

"Ding! Detected that Saint Tongtian has recommended that the Host take the path of Severing Three Corpses to attain Quasi-Sainthood.

Choice One: Agree and follow the Severing Three Corpses method to attain Quasi-Sainthood.

Reward: High Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure—Innate Wood Spirit Pearl.

Choice Two: Refuse, and state that you intend to follow the Law Path to Enlightenment and attain the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal Dao Fruit!

Reward: World Dao Proving Method!"

Cangyuan calmly looked over the two choices.

He then chose the second.

"System, I choose Choice Two."

The path of Severing Three Corpses was already a dead end. Using Innate Spiritual Treasures not of the same root and origin to sever the corpses made it simply impossible to unite the three corpses as one and achieve Great Perfection of the Quasi-Saint.

And even if the three corpses were united, advancing from Great Perfection of the Quasi-Saint to the Saint Fruit Position still required one crucial thing.

Primordial Violet Qi!

Cangyuan did not have that thing at all.

Thus, he directly passed on the Severing Three Corpses method.

Though the Law Path to Enlightenment was fraught with difficulties, at least there was hope, was there not?

Attaining the Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit and achieving great freedom and boundless ease was far better than being trapped at Great Perfection of the Quasi-Saint for an entire lifetime.

"Teacher."

Cangyuan raised his eyes, meeting Sect Master Tongtian's gaze. He said, word by word, "Great Perfection of the Quasi-Saint requires Primordial Violet Qi to attain the Saint Fruit Position. You also know how rare that item is; I fear it has already vanished from existence. So... this disciple intends to take a gamble and walk the Path of Laws!"

"Ding! The Host has completed the Choice Mission. Reward: World Dao Proving Method!"

Cangyuan did not immediately inspect the World Dao Proving Method, instead waiting for Sect Master Tongtian to continue.

"The Law Path to Enlightenment... this path is indeed difficult, but it is not a dead end." Sect Master Tongtian frowned slightly as he pondered. "Before this master and your several martial uncles attained enlightenment, even before your Great-Grandmaster attained enlightenment, there was a senior who successfully traversed the path of using laws to attain Primordial Chaos.

He roams free through Chaos and does not remain confined to the Prehistoric World."

Cangyuan nodded. Naturally, he knew this senior's great name.

The legendary Daoist Yang Mei, formed from the Supreme Innate Spiritual Root—the Hollow Willow Tree.

In the Prehistoric World records he had read in his previous life, some even mentioned that he had once been one of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, the reincarnation of the highly ranked Space Demon God.

His strength was terrifying, and no one could rival his attainments in the Dao of Space.

Not even Dao Ancestor Hongjun could compare.

Sect Master Tongtian continued, "Besides that senior, quite a few fellow Daoists in today's Prehistoric World walk the Path of Laws. Take the Twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch Race, for instance. Each was born mastering a law, and their combat power is formidable."

"Or Eastern Emperor Tai Yi of the Heavenly Court, who attained the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal through the Law of the Sun. He has now reached the perfection of the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal realm—the true number one beneath the Saints!"

"This master will expound the Dao for you. Afterwards, you may travel abroad and properly seek guidance from those fellow Daoists walking the Path of Laws."

Cangyuan was delighted upon hearing this, yet he hesitated. "Teacher, the seniors you mentioned are basically all mighty Quasi-Saints. That Eastern Emperor is even the number one beneath the Saints. If this disciple rashly goes to seek their guidance... I will not be thrown out, will I?"

Sect Master Tongtian's lips curled upward, his expression teasing, though his gaze was peerless in its dominance. "In principle, that would be the case. But when the time comes, this master will have you bring the principle with you."

As he spoke, the Qingping Sword placed some distance away began to hum and tremble, Sword Dao Law surging without cease.

Cangyuan raised a thumbs-up. "Teacher, you're badass."

Afterward, Sect Master Tongtian expounded the Dao to Cangyuan within Biyou Palace.

If you can't find it by searching the book title, try searching for the author instead. Perhaps it was merely renamed!

Blatantly giving him special tutoring.

All right.

Actually, not really.

When Duobao, Jin Ling, Wudang, and the others attained Great Luo Golden Immortality, Sect Master Tongtian had specially expounded the Dao to them for ten thousand years.

During that time, Cangyuan also examined exactly what the World Dao Proving Method was!

After reading it, he was greatly shaken!

Wasn't this an alternative path to Sainthood?

Normally, whether they were Heavenly Dao Saints, Earth Path Saints, or Humanity Path Saints that had never yet appeared, their essence was the same: they entrusted their Saint Dao Fruit to the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Human, borrowing the power of the world to wield Saint-level might within the Prehistoric World.

Saints were Saints only within the Prehistoric World. Once they ventured deep into Chaos and could no longer borrow the Prehistoric World's power, their cultivation would instantly fall back to what it had been before they attained enlightenment!

That was, Late Quasi-Saint.

The World Dao Proving Method, however, emphasized creating a world of one's own and entrusting one's Dao Fruit to that self-created world. One's strength would rise and fall with the World Rank of that world.

For example, if the world one opened up reached the level of a Lesser Thousand World, it could grant the bearer of the entrusted Dao Fruit strength at the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal level.

A Middle Thousand World—Great Luo Golden Immortal!

A Greater Thousand World—one stood among Quasi-Saints!

A Myriad Heavens World—one achieved Sub-Sainthood!

An Origin World—one attained Sainthood!

If the world one opened up could reach one-third the scale of the Prehistoric World, one could achieve the Dao Integration Realm.

If it matched the Prehistoric World, then the Heavenly Dao Realm!

This was a new path that led straight to the Great Dao!

Moreover, the created world would be hidden within one's body. No matter where one went, one could carry it along, borrow the power of Heaven and Earth anytime and anywhere, unleash Saint-level battle strength, and roam freely through Chaos in utter freedom.

Rather than being like the Saints of the Prehistoric World...

However...

Raising a world's rank was far from simple.

It could be called hell-level difficulty!

It was even somewhat harder than the Law Path to Enlightenment.

But the road was open.

That was enough.

At that moment, Cangyuan had already made up his mind!

Cangyuan!

Two!

He wanted both!

That was right—Cangyuan planned to cultivate two paths at once.

If he first used the Law Path to Enlightenment to attain Primordial Zenith Heaven Golden Immortality, then the World Rank should be able to rise to that of an Origin World.

Even if he could not elevate all of his Inner Worlds, he should at least be able to elevate one or two of them into Origin Worlds, right?

Then, if he condensed incarnations similar to Heavenly Dao incarnations and entrusted their Dao Fruits to Origin Worlds, wouldn't he alone be equivalent to two or three Saint-level beings?

Just thinking about it made him feel wonderful.

(I wonder whether you've read Perfect World. Back when Huang was in the Cave Heaven realm, didn't his ten Cave Heavens nurture those creatures? The protagonist would be something like that—one incarnation per world. Those incarnations would possess neither consciousness nor emotions, serving only as tools for battle.)

"Mm, they can't all be exactly the same. I can collect some powerful races from the Prehistoric World, so that the World Incarnations can be more diverse in the future."

"For instance, the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, Qilin, Golden Crow, and the like..."

Cangyuan thought to himself.

Just as Tongtian was expounding the Dao to Cangyuan, Heavenly Court, Sun God Hall!

"Your Majesty, please look. This is a magic treasure forged from resentful souls extracted after the deaths of Human Race members. It may not be very effective against other races, but it happens to restrain the Witch Race's physical bodies..."
