Prove Dao with Force, Three Corpses Severance, Merit Sanctification? Law Proving Dao! (Please Keep Reading)

Great God Pangu's Prove Dao with Force meant using his own strength to break free from the Great Dao's restraints, forcibly refining the Primordial Violet Qi, the foundation of the Great Dao, and intervening in the Heavenly Dao to claim his own Dao Fruit.

Thus, he created the world, proved Mixed Yuan through strength, attained supreme freedom, and transcended the bitter sea of chaos.

With this method of proving Dao, infinite great power returned to oneself. Once proven, it remained proven forever, and one's magic power was the most condensed.

After proving Dao, one would be unconstrained by anything, able to disregard the Heavenly Dao Laws and stand on equal footing with the Great Dao.

It was equivalent to the Great Dao Realm, not an ordinary Sage or Grand Luo Golden Immortal Zenith.

However, Pangu's actions not only enraged the Great Dao and violated its rules, but also sought to seize the authority and seat of the newborn Heavenly Dao. This was an intolerable act for anyone.

For this very reason, Great God Pangu's Prove Dao with Force faced obstacle after obstacle.

The Three Thousand Chaos Gods and Demons manifested by the Great Dao came to block his path. After the Primordial Heavenly Dao evolved, it desperately suppressed and erased the influence Daoist Pangu had left upon the Primordial Continent, while rooting out every possible means by which Daoist Pangu might be revived.

The Beast Calamity, Dragon-Han Calamity, Witch and Demon Cataclysm, the collapse of Buzhou Mountain, Investiture of the Gods Calamity, Journey to the West Calamity, Dharma Ending Calamity... and countless other calamities.

Have to say, all of them carried a faint, hidden intent to eliminate the power of Pangu's legacy.

Take the Witch and Demon Cataclysm, for example. It directly crippled the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Pangu's bloodline, nearly driving them to extinction.

The Investiture of the Gods Calamity even drove a wedge between the Three Pure Ones of primordial spirit, making them tear off all pretenses and fight fiercely until they became strangers for life.

Think about it. Think carefully.

Did the protagonists behind these calamities not often represent the inherited power of Great God Pangu?

For the Heavenly Dao to reclaim the authority that belonged to it, it naturally had to completely destroy Great God Pangu's influence.

It was like when an old leader stepped down and a new leader took office, burning three fires.

On the surface, those fires burned the second-, third-, fourth-, fifth-, sixth-, and seventh-in-command. But who were they really meant for?

They were meant for the old leader!

They burned away the influence left behind by the old leader!

As the supreme Heavenly Dao that ruled over billions of sentient beings, endless realms, and the Myriad Realms, it naturally would not permit anything beyond its control to exist.

Therefore, Prove Dao with Force was a false proposition in the current Primordial Wilderness.

Without the strength of a Sage, yet dreaming of creating the world within the Chaos Sea, one would simply die without even knowing how.

The outcome would definitely be even more miserable than Great God Pangu's.

Daoist Pangu at least had three Chaos Supreme Treasures to protect him.

He stood upon the Chaos Green Lotus, held the Jade Plate of Creation above his head, and gripped the Heaven Splitting Axe in his hand.

Even with such a three-piece divine set, he could not withstand the Great Dao's obstruction and the Heavenly Dao's schemes.

In the end, he suffered Death and Dao Annihilation, transformed into the Primordial Wilderness, and even the contingencies he left behind were precisely purged by the Heavenly Dao through calamities.

"Prove Dao with Force is fundamentally a paradox!"

"Without the strength of a Sage, how can one create the world in chaos?"

"But if one already has the strength of a Sage, is there even any need to create the world?"

Taiyi shook his head. He felt that Prove Dao with Force was fundamentally a false proposition.

Aside from Prove Dao with Force, the most mainstream Dao proving methods in the Primordial World were Three Corpses Severance and Merit Sanctification.

The so-called Three Corpses Severance was to use great magic power to condense the Good, Evil, and Obsession Corpses.

Then, using Great Merit as the catalyst and the sword of wisdom, one would sever the corpse of good thoughts, the corpse of evil thoughts, and the corpse of obsessive thoughts.

One would cut away one's Seven Emotions and Six Desires, as well as all notions of good, evil, and obsession, turning one's true self into an emotionless, desireless primordial lifeform infinitely close to the state of mind of the Heavenly Dao.

With an indifferent and ordinary heart, one would observe the countless forms of the world and all things.

After comprehending the self, the true self, and the transcendent self, one would fuse and absorb the Good, Evil, and Obsession Corpses once more, reaching a state where Mixed Yuan became one and completely aligning with the heart of the Heavenly Dao.

Afterward, one would refine the Primordial Violet Qi, the foundation of the Great Dao, entrust one's primordial spirit to the Heavenly Dao, and attain Mixed Yuan.

This method of proving Dao involved comprehending and condensing the heart of the Heavenly Dao, standing level with the Heavenly Dao.

In the future, one could even merge with the Dao in truth and become a spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao.

Thus, the power of the laws of heaven and earth one could wield was the greatest and most majestic.

One could be called the foremost person beneath the Heavenly Dao.

Among those who practiced Three Corpses Severance, only its creator, Hongjun, had succeeded.

Taiyi was somewhat uneasy about a path created by someone else.

There was a saying that for every Great Dao, only the first person was its true Dao prover.

All later arrivals were merely nourishment and incarnations for the Dao prover.

Once the time came, they would be harvested like leeks.

The more one thought about it, the more terrifying it became.

Although he did not know whether it was true, Taiyi would rather believe it existed than believe it did not.

In any case, none of the later arrivals had successfully attained Dao through Three Corpses Severance.

Even the Three Pure Ones had at most severed one or two corpses.

Therefore, Taiyi directly discarded the Three Corpses Severance Method.

Merit Sanctification, on the other hand, became the mainstream in the later Primordial World.

Regardless of whether it was the Three Pure Ones, the Western Duo, or Goddess Nüwa, they all followed the path of Merit Sanctification.

Compared to the others, Merit Sanctification was less difficult. So long as one could obtain boundless merit, one could become a Sage.

Using one's own Great Merit, Great Magic Power, and Great Destiny to stir the heart of the Heavenly Dao, break one's own shackles, refine the Primordial Violet Qi, the foundation of the Great Dao, and entrust one's primordial spirit to the Heavenly Dao, one could directly attain the Primordial Great Dao and become a Heavenly Dao Sage.

Among the Sages of heaven and earth, those who proved Dao through this method held the most exalted status. They enjoyed the protection of the Heavenly Dao, the blessing of merit sacred patterns and the will of sentient beings, and eternally possessed serene freedom and a Sage Seat.

Even if heaven and earth were destroyed, a Heavenly Dao Sage would not suffer the slightest harm.

However, Merit Sanctification also had considerable drawbacks. If one accepted the merit of the Primordial Heavenly Dao to become a Sage, one would be subject to the Primordial Heavenly Dao's control.

From then on, one would become a puppet beneath the Heavenly Dao, unable to defy the will of heaven.

Moreover, one had to follow the general trend of the Heavenly Dao and could not arbitrarily alter the greater flow of destiny.

To Taiyi, such Sages were no different from puppets.

At the very least, Hongjun Daozu could still stand on equal footing with the Heavenly Dao. He was a senior partner.

The Three Pure Ones and the Western Two Sages, on the other hand, were nothing more than senior managers.

They had no autonomy at all and would be controlled by the Heavenly Dao for lifetime after lifetime.

They could not attain freedom.

Much less great freedom.

Therefore, Taiyi discarded all three of these mainstream Dao proving methods of the Primordial Wilderness.

Beyond these, there was Demon Ancestor Rahu's Slaughter Dao Proving, the Witch Clan's physical body Dao proving, Dao proving by opening an inner universe, and the rarely mentioned Law Proving Dao.

Trying to attain Dao through slaughter in the Primordial Wilderness was simply a sign that one had a hole in one's head.

Before one could even raise a butcher's blade, some mighty expert would have already killed them.

As for the Witch Clan's physical body Dao proving, it was quite good, but it did not suit Taiyi.

Dao proving by opening an inner universe... without the cultivation of a Sage, one should just go home, wash up, and sleep.

Even someone as powerful as Great God Pangu had exhausted himself to death while creating the world in chaos. Taiyi did not believe himself to be more formidable than Pangu, so naturally he could not undertake such an act.

"After calculating it all, Law Proving Dao is the only relatively reliable option."

"One only needs to perfectly fuse with a Great Dao Law to attain a Mixed Yuan Dao Fruit."

"And best of all, it carries no hidden dangers."

"Unlike Prove Dao with Force, which is purely reckless."

"Nor is it like Merit Sanctification, which takes shortcuts and leaves endless future troubles."

After some consideration, Taiyi had tentatively chosen the direction of his future Dao proving.

"Law Proving Dao... which law should I choose to prove Dao through?"

"Right, I was originally transformed from solar fire essence. The Law Dao Fruit most compatible with me is none other than the Solar Law Dao Fruit."

"If I prove Dao through the Sun Law, would that work?"

Taiyi acted as soon as the thought came to him.

With a thought, he connected to the Great Sun Golden Flame at the deepest source within his body.
