After discussing the Dao with Tai Hao, Xuanyuan took the illusory human emperor dao fruit and left the Gate of Myriad Wonders of the humanity dao that Fu Xi had manifested.
Upon returning to the Primordial World, Xuanyuan did not hesitate. He immediately summoned a golden divine sword he had forged using the military dao methods Chi You had taught him.
Because of the military dao, however, this divine sword was like a dao body of Xuanyuan's.
Chi You's military dao had actually drawn inspiration from the West's sarira method, allowing one to merge a grand unity dao fruit with a personally refined lifebound divine weapon.
In this way, the lifebound divine weapon was equivalent to a corpse. If one could refine three lifebound treasures, one could naturally rival a Three Corpses Quasi-Saint of the immortal dao.
However, Chi You had yet to create a method of Three Weapons Unification, so its upper limit still fell short of the methods of the immortal dao and Buddhist dao!
Three Corpses Unification relied on the innate undying spiritual light within Innate Spiritual Treasures, while the unification of three bodies relied on the imprints of past lives contained within sariras, uniting three lives and making past, present, and future one.
Although a lifebound divine weapon could also house one's Great Dao, it was ultimately an acquired creation and could not merge perfectly with one's grand unity dao fruit.
Xuanyuan's expression remained unchanged, his gaze resolute, as he slowly said, "The Great Dao numbers fifty; Heaven unfolds forty-nine, and one escapes. People today need not be inferior to the ancients, disciples need not be inferior to their teachers, and teachers need not be wiser than their disciples. What my teacher cannot accomplish, I might not be unable to
accomplish."
He cultivated the human-demon dao.
