Quasi-Saint Early Stage

Xuanyuan's divine sense probed his own body, and he suddenly frowned slightly.

The cultivation method of proving Dao by severing three corpses was indeed miraculous and powerful.

But it wasn't without its drawbacks.

After all, the three corpses severed would carry a trace of the main body's primordial spirit.

And this trace of primordial spirit was equivalent to injecting the life force of the main body into the three corpses, giving them independent thoughts and consciousness.

This way, the more powerful the three corpses severed were, the more primordial spirit would be consumed.

In other words, if one wanted to prove Dao by severing three corpses, the price to pay would be an incomplete primordial spirit of oneself.

This price was not low!

Think about it, once the primordial spirit was separated, it wouldn't be easy to restore it.

It could be said that once one embarked on the path of proving Dao by severing three corpses, there would be no turning back.

Because to prove Dao by Law, in addition to comprehending the Laws, a complete primordial spirit was also required.

If part of the primordial spirit was given to the three corpses, then the conditions for proving Dao by Law could not be met.

Therefore, choosing to prove Dao by severing three corpses was a path of no return!

Either success or failure, there was no middle ground.

Reaching this point, Xuanyuan finally understood why the Sanqing, Jieyin, Zhunti, Nuwa, and others, once they embarked on the path of proving Dao by severing three corpses, could no longer pursue proving Dao by Law.

It wasn't that their talent was insufficient, but that it was fundamentally impossible.

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan's heart stirred. He suspected that in the entire Primordial World, perhaps only Hongjun could walk both the path of proving Dao by severing three corpses and proving Dao by Law simultaneously.

After all, the method of severing three corpses was created by Hongjun himself, and he would definitely understand its pros and cons better than others.

Moreover, Hongjun's main body was a Chaos Demon God, and he existed long before Great God Pangu created the heavens and earth.

Over countless years, who knew how much Great Dao Merit Hongjun had accumulated, and how many hidden means he possessed?

No one knew!

He even suspected that the reason the Heavenly Dao abandoned Demon Ancestor Luohu and chose Hongjun was very likely because Hongjun had created the method of severing three corpses himself.

The Heavenly Dao intended to control the direction of the entire Primordial World through Hongjun's method of severing three corpses.

"Unfortunately, you calculated everything, but you missed me, the anomaly!"

Xuanyuan sneered, and a large amount of Great Dao Merit surged out, continuously replenishing the primordial spirits of himself and his Evil Corpse.

Merit, as a universal panacea in the Primordial World, had many uses.

One of them was to replenish the primordial spirit.

Xuanyuan had already tested this point on the Witch Clan.

As the endless Great Dao Merit continuously poured into his body, Xuanyuan clearly felt his originally incomplete primordial spirit being repaired at a visible speed.

The wondrous feeling was like parched earth receiving nourishment, or like a decaying tree regaining its vitality.

Every trace of Great Dao Merit was like the most precious nourishment, nurturing his damaged primordial spirit, allowing it to gradually recover its completeness and strength.

It was an indescribably beautiful experience, allowing Xuanyuan to immerse himself deeply, enjoying this gift from the Great Dao Merit.

Time quietly passed, and several days went by, like a long dream finally coming to an end.

The primordial spirits of his main body and his Evil Corpse had been completely repaired. The previously incomplete parts were now renewed, emitting a powerful aura.

Finally, everything returned to its original state, and all damage was perfectly repaired.

At this moment, Xuanyuan slowly opened his eyes, which had been closed for many days, and a bright light flashed within them.

He took a deep breath, feeling the surging power within his body, as if he had been reborn.

Then, he stretched his body, extending his limbs to their fullest, allowing his muscles and bones to relax.

This simple action made him feel incredibly comfortable, as if all fatigue had vanished at this moment.

Xuanyuan opened the System panel and took a look.

His cultivation had finally broken through to the Quasi-Saint Early Stage.

His strength was more than ten times greater than before.

What surprised Xuanyuan even more was that the Evil Corpse he had just severed also had a cultivation of the Quasi-Saint Early Stage.

This point was quite puzzling.

After all, Hongjun had made it clear during his sermon that cultivating the method of severing the three corpses would result in the newly severed Evil Corpse, Good Corpse, and Self Corpse being significantly weaker than the main body.

This was related to the innate talent, origins, and strength of the one Severing Corpse to Prove Dao.

It was also related to the Innate Spiritual Treasure used during the severing.

The minimum requirement for a spiritual treasure needed for severing the corpse was an Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Only an Innate Spiritual Treasure could withstand the immense energy of severing the corpse.

Xuanyuan pondered for a moment and decided to first check on the condition of his Evil Corpse.

He used his divine sense to perceive the Evil Corpse's state and found that its aura was stable, its soul was intact, and it possessed the same memories and way of thinking as himself.

"Could it be because I used the Chaos Bead to sever the corpse?" Xuanyuan speculated inwardly. "The Chaos Bead is a treasure born in the Chaos. Perhaps its special properties allow the severed Evil Corpse to possess such immense strength."

"Another point is that after Severing Corpse to Prove Dao, the primordial spirit of both the main body and the Evil Corpse is incomplete. Now that a large amount of Great Dao Merit has been used to repair the primordial spirit, the primordial spirits of both the main body and the Evil Corpse are no longer flawed, and their strength has increased, which is also reasonable."

To complete the primordial spirits of the main body and the Evil Corpse, Xuanyuan had consumed nearly five billion Great Dao Merit.

Now, he only had 3.7 billion Great Dao Merit left.

It was no longer enough to support him in repairing his primordial spirit again after severing the corpse.

"It's time to go to Buzhou Mountain to obtain the Innate Gourd Vine and complete the System's mission!"

After a brief exchange with the Evil Corpse, Xuanyuan sensed the auras of Dijiang, Zhujiuyin, and the others. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

Immediately after, he put the Evil Corpse into his sea of consciousness, took one step, and his figure instantly disappeared.

The next moment, he appeared directly before everyone.

Dijiang, Zhujiuyin, and the other Ancestor Witches all looked up, their gazes fixed on Xuanyuan before them.

A hint of surprise and curiosity flashed in their eyes.

More than that, there was excitement and joy.

They were happy for their brother's cultivation breakthrough and greatly increased strength.

Xuanyuan, on the other hand, stood there with a calm expression, meeting everyone's gaze. A unique aura emanated from him, inspiring a sense of awe in others.

"Xuanyuan, is this the Quasi-Saint realm?"

Houtu asked curiously.

Among the Twelve Ancestor Witches, the other Ancestor Witches did not need to follow the path of Severing Corpse to Prove Dao. They only needed to comprehend diligently and enhance their own law power.

Only she, because she had to embody reincarnation, needed to sever a corpse to replace her main body.

Therefore, she paid more attention to the matter of Severing Corpse to Prove Dao than the other Ancestor Witches.
