"Eldest Brother!"
"Have you severed one corpse?"
Seeing Ye Xuan emerge from seclusion, Daoist Zhunti felt the aura radiating from him and couldn't help but gasp, asking the question aloud.
He hadn't even gone to the Purple Cloud Palace yet, and already the other party had reached the Realm of Quasi-Saint. In less than an Epoch, the other party had advanced again. In Daoist Zhunti's view, no matter how strong his Eldest Brother was, he couldn't possibly have ascended to the mid-stage of the Quasi-Saint realm in one go, right?
After much deliberation, Daoist Zhunti still felt that it must be that Ye Xuan had entrusted his Good Corpse, which was why his strength had reached a higher level.
Hearing this, Ye Xuan couldn't help but chuckle softly. He had actually severed one corpse long ago, even before ascending to the Realm of Golden Immortal of the Origin, but Ye Xuan did not speak of it, merely nodding slightly.
"Yes!"
"It was just good fortune, not worth mentioning."
Seeing that Ye Xuan's face remained calm, as if ascending to the Realm of Quasi-Saint were as easy as turning over one's hand, Daoist Zhunti was left speechless.
They had listened to the Dao in the Purple Cloud Palace for thirty thousand years, and after returning, they had spent another thirty thousand years in Secluded Cultivation, yet they still hadn't entrusted their Good Corpses. But after he had returned, the other party had merely taken a glance and had actually severed a corpse. Seeing the dejected look on Daoist Zhunti's face, Ye Xuan spoke up.
"Second Younger Brother, you haven't entrusted your Good Corpse yet, have you?"
Hearing this, Daoist Zhunti gave a bitter smile, revealing a look of helplessness.
"Eldest Brother!"
"This Three Corpses Becoming Saint Method is too profound; I have yet to fully comprehend it."
"It is a good thing that you haven't severed it yet. This Three Corpses Becoming Saint Method has a flaw."
Looking at Daoist Zhunti, Ye Xuan spoke in a cold voice.
"But!"
"This came directly from the mouth of the Dao Ancestor..."
Just as he was about to retort, Daoist Zhunti paused. The Dao Ancestor was certainly not a benevolent man or woman; otherwise, the living beings in the West would not have been reduced to less than one in a hundred. Thus, he asked again.
"Eldest Brother, what is the problem with this Three Corpses Becoming Saint Method?"
"The Three Corpses Becoming Saint Method relies on Innate Spiritual Treasures to entrust the three corpses, and finally, the Three Corpses Unification!"
"How many Innate Spiritual Treasures are there in the Primordial World? If any three Innate Spiritual Treasures could be unified to become a Saint, wouldn't there be thousands of Saints?"
After Ye Xuan spoke, Daoist Zhunti calmed down and then asked.
"Are there other requirements for the Innate Spiritual Treasures?"
To the side, seeing that the other party had figured it out, Ye Xuan nodded.
"A child worth teaching!"
"In my view, the greatest difficulty in the Three Corpses Becoming Saint Method lies in the Three Corpses Unification."
"To achieve Three Corpses Unification, three Innate Spiritual Treasures must be fused together. Unless these three Innate Spiritual Treasures are originally one, originating from the same Innate Spiritual Roots, or contain the same Great Dao, or perhaps even require both conditions to be met, one cannot become a Saint."
After he spoke, Daoist Zhunti nodded repeatedly and asked, "Eldest Brother, I can understand the need for three treasures of the same origin, but why is it necessary for them to contain the same Great Dao?"
Seeing the look of confusion on Zhunti's face, Ye Xuan imparted a supreme divine ability to him.
"It is called the Tong Xuan Dao Chapter!"
"This supreme divine ability is something I derived from the Three Corpses Becoming Saint Method. Once you entrust your three corpses into the Innate Spiritual Treasures, you can grasp the power of the Great Dao Laws within them in one go. Once you have fully comprehended them, you can then put them to use."
"With the Tong Xuan Dao Chapter, if you obtain three Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, you can comprehend at least fifty percent of a single Law. By relying on your mastery of your own Great Dao, you can achieve Three Corpses Unification and finally step into the Realm of Sages."
After hearing this, Daoist Zhunti was left speechless. If not for Ye Xuan's reminder, the Three Corpses Becoming Saint Method would have seemed profound and mysterious to him. But after Ye Xuan spoke, he could sense a hint of incompleteness, as if it were a fragmented text.
However, even though he now knew he needed three treasures of the same origin that also aligned with his own Great Dao, where could he possibly find them?
"Do not be impatient!"
"I have seven Innate Spiritual Treasures in my possession, all of which are of the same origin. If you cannot find other Innate Spiritual Treasures, you can use the Innate Soul Scattering Gourd to entrust your first corpse. As for the other Innate Gourds, I still have a few in my hands."
Hearing this, Daoist Zhunti nodded.
Looking at Daoist Zhunti, Ye Xuan remembered that he still possessed one Innate Spiritual Root, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, which was the companion treasure of the other.
With a wave of his hand, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree appeared in his palm.
"Second Younger Brother!"
"I have already finished comprehending the Way of Five Elements. Take it back, will you?"
Looking at the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in his hand, Daoist Zhunti shook his head. After helplessly pushing it back, he said, "If I need three treasures of the same origin, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree will not be of use. Eldest Brother, you are creating the Three Thousand Worlds; this Innate Spiritual Root can stabilize the Yin, Yang, and Five Elements, so you should keep it for yourself!"
Hearing this, Ye Xuan thought for a moment and did not object. The two had known each other for tens of millions of years, so there was no need for formalities. With another wave of his hand, ten thousand drops of Three Light Divine Water and a lump of Nine Heavens Breathing Soil appeared in Daoist Zhunti's hands.
"Eldest Brother, this is..."
"Repairing Mount Sumeru will grant you supreme power of merit. I still need to perfect the Three Corpses Becoming Saint Method, so do not try to comprehend this method of becoming a Saint just yet. Use the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil and the Three Light Divine Water to stabilize the spiritual veins and prevent the Innate Spiritual Qi from leaking away. You will gain the power of supreme great fortune."
"Once you return, it will not be too late to pursue the Three Corpses Becoming Saint Method!"
Hearing this, a look of great joy appeared on Daoist Zhunti's face. Mount Sumeru was the ancestor of the Western spiritual veins; if he could repair it, he would surely gain supreme merit. This was a universal solution—if he possessed the power of supreme merit, he would be immune to all calamities, untainted by karma, and even favored by the Heavenly Dao. Obtaining three Innate Spiritual Treasures would then no longer be a difficult task.
Furthermore, if one were to take action and perfect it, it would even be possible to take up residence within.
Back then, after the Devil Ancestor detonated himself, Mount Sumeru was destroyed in the same blast. Consequently, the Innate Spiritual Qi throughout the vast West was reduced to less than ten percent, and it would never again produce Innate Spiritual Qi.
After bidding farewell, Daoist Zhunti departed.
Once he had left, another electronic sound reached the ears of Ye Xuan.
[Ding Dong!]
[Detecting that the Demon Emperor and others intend to invite Daoist Fuxi and Daoist Nuwa to join the Heavenly Court. Host, please make a choice from the options below.]
[Option One: Obstruct Fuxi and the others from entering the Heavenly Court. Upon completing the mission, you will receive one Innate Supreme Treasure.]
[Option Two: Ignore the situation and remain steady, staying put. Upon completing the mission, you will receive a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Qiankun Diagram!]
Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Ye Xuan's face. There was no need to even ask; he would definitely choose the second option. He spoke immediately.
"I choose the second one!"
The Qiankun Diagram was a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure and one of the companion treasures of Ancestor Qiankun. It contained a world of Qiankun within it. Once integrated into his Three Thousand Heavens, he would certainly be able to advance to the Mid-stage Hunyuan realm.
After he spoke, another electronic sound reached his ears.
[Ding Dong!]
[Host has chosen to ignore the situation and remain steady, staying put. The Innate Spiritual Treasure Qiankun Diagram is being issued. Please check it yourself, Host.]
