East King Duke Establishes Immortal Court, Three Lives Body Method!

"The Dao of a Saint is truly profound—lofty and commanding, with its own unique insights."

Ten thousand years later, Ye Xuan ceased his Dao discussion with Daoist Zhunti, a hint of surprise flickering across his face. That old schemer, born with a belly full of plots, was no wonder the first Saint between heaven and earth; there was simply a chasm between himself and the other.

Hearing this, Zhunti nodded slightly and spoke in turn: "The power of a Saint is indeed formidable. I too have benefited greatly. If Eldest Brother were to go, he might even be the first to step beyond Grand Unity Golden Immortal Perfection and ascend to the Realm of Quasi-Saint!"

"As for Quasi-Saint, it is a method of becoming a Saint that the Saint himself pioneered, named the Path of Becoming a Sage through Three Corpses. In each Innate Spiritual Treasure, one can entrust a corpse, also known as the Realm of Quasi-Saint, which lies above Grand Unity Golden Immortal Perfection."

"After one Yuanhui, the Saint will pass down the Three Corpses Becoming Saint Method and expound on the Dao of Quasi-Saint. Would Eldest Brother like to go with me?"

"The Dao of Quasi-Saint..."

Ye Xuan let out a light chuckle. As an old bookworm, he was all too familiar with the Path of Three Corpses. Though it could lead to sainthood, what was passed down was always incomplete.

In his own hands, he held a complete method of becoming a Saint, one belonging solely to himself—why would he covet the Three Corpses Becoming Saint Dao? Studying it would only leave a trace of influence on him. So Ye Xuan shook his head and spoke.

"In these ten thousand years, though I have not yet entered the realm of Golden Immortal of the Origin, I have gained a spark of inspiration. As for the Three Corpses Becoming Saint Method, I might reference it, but there's no need to make a trip to the Purple Cloud Palace."

Hearing this, Zhunti looked at Ye Xuan with disbelief: "Eldest Brother, do not jest. Ten thousand years ago, you had just stepped into Grand Unity Golden Immortal Perfection..."

"My Dao differs slightly from other methods of becoming a Saint, and so does my path to sainthood."

Beside him, Ye Xuan's face showed a hint of confidence. After a slight nod, Zhunti did not press further—it was enough that the other was his Eldest Brother. He took his leave and entered secluded cultivation.

After he left, Ye Xuan was about to enter seclusion himself when an electronic sound rang in his ear.

[Ding Dong!]

[Detected that on the eastern shore, the Head of Male Immortals, East King Duke, is establishing the Immortal Court. Please choose from the options below.]

[Option One: Enter the Immortal Court, help him sweep through the Primordial World, and take the seat of Great Heavenly Venerate. Complete the task to receive an Innate Supreme Treasure.]

[Option Two: Ignore it, remain in seclusion, and let him develop. Complete the task to receive the Three Lives Body Method!]

"Choose the second—ignore it!"

Looking at the two options on the light screen, Ye Xuan did not hesitate and spoke directly.

East King Duke was an arrogant fool. Though he was the Head of Male Immortals, he failed to see the gap between himself and others, especially Emperor Taiyi and his ilk, who were among the strongest of the Innate God-Demons and even wielded an Innate Supreme Treasure.

Moreover, Ye Xuan had reached Grand Unity Golden Immortal Perfection on his own. A mere Head of Male Immortals—how could he be worthy of Ye Xuan's allegiance? Getting involved would only lead to one outcome: being dragged into the Great Tribulation and dying alongside him.

After he made his choice, another electronic sound entered his ear.

[Ding Dong!]

[Host has chosen to ignore it. The Three Lives Body Method is being distributed. Please check it yourself.]

A supreme Dharma gate entered Ye Xuan's Primordial Spirit, as profound as the Method of Becoming a Saint in Dreams.

Every character held endless mystery, containing the Three Thousand Great Daos.

After reading it, Ye Xuan drew a sharp breath. In his view, this supreme divine ability was heaven-defying. It could sever the Rebirth Aspect, the Living Beings Aspect, and the Future Aspect—three supreme Dao bodies, each with its own subtlety.

The first was the Rebirth Aspect, representing the endless past!

By severing his own endless past, he could obtain a supreme Dao body, merging all his karma into it.

All karma was left in the past—what did it have to do with the original body?

Go find the Rebirth Aspect!

Moreover, once severed, Ye Xuan would effectively have a Dao body. The strength of the two would be identical. If one of them—the Rebirth Aspect or the original—advanced in cultivation, the other would rise with it.

As for the Future Aspect, it was the most difficult. Once severed, it could borrow a sliver of future power.

If in the future Ye Xuan was at the Realm of Sages, he could draw a trace of saintly power.

If at the Realm of Heavenly Dao, he could borrow a sliver of Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal power.

The last was called the Living Beings Aspect, existing between past and future, able to freely traverse the River of Time. When the three aspects merged, he could be everywhere, existing in every instant, with immeasurable power.

Moreover, the three were linked to Ye Xuan's original body.

As long as one of them did not die, the other three could all defy fate and return.

In the art of lying low, it was practically the supreme divine ability.

Among them, past events had already occurred, unchangeable, eternal—it was the simplest of the Three Lives Body.

"This supreme Dharma gate is profoundly mysterious. At my current Grand Unity Golden Immortal Perfection, I won't be able to use it before stepping into Quasi-Saint..."

Ye Xuan shook his head. Among all divine abilities, supreme divine abilities were the highest tier. Once one reached the Realm of Sages, some abilities became useless. After sainthood, one had boundless, inexhaustible magical power. Only those still usable among Saints qualified as supreme divine abilities.

Laozi also possessed a supreme divine ability: One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, still usable after becoming a Saint.

But a supreme divine ability required at least the Quasi-Saint realm to begin comprehending.

After some thought, Ye Xuan entered seclusion once more.

As for East King Duke, while Ye Xuan was in seclusion, he had already established the Immortal Court, demanding that three thousand Innate God-Demons enter it to pay homage to him, intending to become the Emperor of All Immortals alongside Queen Mother of the West.

However, the Innate God-Demons did not show the Dao Ancestor any face, mocking East King Duke instead.

Moreover, Queen Mother of the West had already gone into seclusion after the Immortal Court's establishment. Though displeased, she was helpless against the others.

Laozi and the rest were already at Grand Unity Golden Immortal Perfection, but among the Innate God-Demons, they were not particularly outstanding.

A normal person would have gone into seclusion long ago, but East King Duke was already caught in the Great Tribulation, swearing to make the Immortal Court sweep across the endless lands and, through supreme fortune, become the first to enter the Realm of Sages!
