In the Endless Western Continent, seeing Daoist Zhunti send him a voice transmission saying that all the spiritual veins in the West had been cleared and that he should head to the Pure Land of Spiritual Mountain, Ye Xuan gave a slight nod. The Three Corpses Becoming Saint Method had been in his hands for some time now, and he could fully pass it on to Daoist Zhunti. With a flash of Innate Divine Light, an innate spiritual treasure appeared in his hand.

It was a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Void Mirror!

After acquiring this innate spiritual treasure along with the Spatial Teleportation Grand Array, Ye Xuan's speed had become even more formidable—even Daoist Kunpeng would struggle to match him!

Back in the Purple Cloud Palace, Daoist Kunpeng, without any allies or innate spiritual treasures, had relied solely on his unmatched speed—the fastest among the Innate God-Demons—to secure a seat in the front row.

With the Void Mirror and the Spatial Teleportation Grand Array at his disposal, once Ye Xuan unleashed them, he could claim the title of fastest among the Innate God-Demons!

"Boom!"

After a moment's thought, Ye Xuan tore open a rift and stepped into it.

Inside the Pure Land of Spiritual Mountain, Daoist Zhunti was in secluded cultivation when a flash of Innate Divine Light appeared, and Ye Xuan's figure materialized between heaven and earth.

"Eldest Brother!"

Seeing him arrive, Daoist Zhunti's face lit up with joy. He was about to speak when he noticed that Ye Xuan's aura had become even more ethereal, carrying a trace of vast, abyss-like majesty. A look of shock crossed his face—he had only been away for two thousand years, not two Yuanhui, yet his Eldest Brother's strength had undergone another tremendous leap.

"Not bad."

"You have truly reached perfection at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. With just one innate spiritual treasure, you can ascend to the Quasi-Saint realm."

Hearing this, Daoist Zhunti's face flushed with embarrassment. Although he had reached a point of no further progress at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, actually slaying a corpse would still take who knows how many years. The gap between him and his Eldest Brother was like heaven and earth—utterly insignificant.

"Eldest Brother!"

"Your aura is even stronger now. Could it be that you've reached the Mid-Stage Golden Immortal of the Origin?"

At Daoist Zhunti's question, Ye Xun gave a slight nod.

"I've also further refined the Method of Becoming a Sage in Dreams!"

Seeing Ye Xuan confirm it, Daoist Zhunti's eyes flashed with shock. How many years had it been? His Eldest Brother had already advanced to the Mid-Stage Golden Immortal of the Origin—such talent was simply staggering.

What's more, he hadn't even attended the lectures at the Purple Cloud Palace. He had relied entirely on himself to reach this realm.

Among all the top Innate God-Demons in the Primordial World, not one could compare to him.

"Eldest Brother is already at Quasi-Saint Mid-Stage, and yet you still tease me!"

Hearing the hint of grievance in his voice, Ye Xuan let out a hearty laugh. "Second Younger Brother, why belittle yourself? In as little as a thousand years, or at most ten thousand, you too can step into the Quasi-Saint realm—and become even stronger."

Ye Xuan waved his hand, and a supreme method of becoming a sage entered Daoist Zhunti's Primordial Spirit.

"This method of becoming a sage has some issues."

"The complete Three Corpses Becoming Saint Method is originally called the Three Yuan Dao Proving Corpse Slaying Secret Record."

"Within it lies a supreme great divine ability known as the Tong Xuan Dao Chapter."

"The Three Yuan Dao Proving Corpse Slaying Secret Record requires three treasures of the same root, aligned with one's own Great Dao, to perfectly merge together. After the Three Corpses Unification, one can ascend to the Realm of Sages and even seize the position of Dao Lord in one go."

"With three treasures of the same root merged, one can still enter the Sage realm, but they cannot compete for the Dao Lord position."

"Between the two paths—one harder but more powerful, the other easier but certain to achieve sagehood—which do you choose?"

"If you need three treasures of the same root, I can provide them."

Hearing this, Daoist Zhunti fell into thought. With the Three Yuan Dao Proving Corpse Slaying Secret Record before him, he could see that the Three Corpses Becoming Saint Method passed down from the Purple Cloud Palace was indeed incomplete.

As for which of the two paths to choose, Daoist Zhunti pondered deeply.

In his view, while his Eldest Brother's creation of the Method of Becoming a Sage in Dreams showed unparalleled genius, forging his own supreme Dharma Gate to reach the Sage realm was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

If he sought the Dao Lord position, who knew how many sages would emerge in the East in the future? The West might not produce a single sage at all. The West was already in decline; losing one sage would only make things worse. He shook his head and spoke to his Eldest Brother.

"Eldest Brother, I'll choose the three treasures of the same root. The Dao Lord is unique—the Three Thousand Demon Gods from back then may not all be dead. If I fail to obtain the Dao Lord position, wouldn't all that effort be wasted? Besides, even if others can't see it, just relying on the Path of Three Corpses to ascend to the Sage realm would still put me far ahead of everyone else!"

Hearing this, Ye Xuan was slightly surprised but didn't take it too seriously. With him around, once he reached the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he could easily help his Second Younger Brother slay a Demon God and seize its Dao Lord position.

For now, the priority was to boost his own strength.

Ye Xuan waved his hand, and two more Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures entered Daoist Zhunti's grasp.

"The first is called the Immortal Slaying Gourd."

"Inside it contains a gourd seed. When fused with the Innate Geng Metal Qi, it can be refined into an Immortal Slaying Flying Knife."

"Once unleashed, even a Quasi-Saint will have their Primordial Spirit destroyed!"

"The second innate spiritual treasure is called the Water Fire Gourd. It contains an Innate Water Spirit and an Innate Fire Spirit."

Hearing this, Daoist Zhunti's expression shifted, and he tried to decline.

"The Immortal Slaying Gourd is so powerful—shouldn't Eldest Brother keep it for himself?"

Beside him, Ye Xuan's face showed a confident smile. "If I make a move, within the same realm, I can suppress anyone with a wave of my hand, without needing an innate spiritual treasure."

At the same realm, Ye Xuan possessed three methods of becoming a sage—who could stand against him?

Seeing the aura of unrivaled dominance radiating from Ye Xuan, Daoist Zhunti gave a slight nod. Given his Eldest Brother's strength, he truly had no need for this innate spiritual treasure. He then asked another question.

"Eldest Brother, are you planning to seize a Dao Lord position among the Three Thousand Great Daos?"

Hearing this, Ye Xuan shook his head and said nothing. What he sought was not a single Dao Lord position, but to hold all Three Thousand Great Daos in his grasp.

Moreover, Ye Xuan already had a faint clue about how to achieve this.

But this was too shocking. If word got out, it wouldn't be a good thing for him, so he brushed it off with a perfunctory reply.

"My Great Dao still lies in the Method of Becoming a Sage in Dreams!"

"As for the Three Corpses Becoming Saint Method, it is merely a reference, not my Great Dao."

"Second Younger Brother, would you care to debate the Dao with me?"

After he spoke, Daoist Zhunti's face lit up with great joy. Ye Xuan was at the Mid-Stage Golden Immortal of the Origin realm, and hearing him expound on the Great Dao from such a lofty vantage point would be immensely beneficial. He immediately replied.

"Excellent!"

"Eldest Brother's lecture on the Dao is something I have long sought."

On the side, Ye Xuan waved his hand and opened a Dao palace atop the Spirit Mountain, naming it the Dao Seeking Palace. He then produced an Innate Spring Eye and set it atop the palace to connect with the boundless Chaos Qi.

In an instant, endless Innate Chaos Spiritual Qi burst forth from the Innate Spring Eye.

"Boom!"
