Slaying the Good Corpse, Penglai Emerges!

Looking at the lifeless Dao Ancestor on the high platform, who kept staring at him, East King Duke finally spoke.

"Disciple follows the Dao Ancestor's decree! Establishes the Immortal Court, sets the order. But Taiyi and his ilk, relying on their Innate Supreme Treasure, established the Heavenly Court, styled themselves Demon Emperor, seeking to seize this disciple's position as Head of Male Immortals, and have even subjected this disciple to all kinds of humiliation. This disciple's position as Head of Male Immortals was established by the Dao Ancestor—this is not merely slapping my face, it is clearly provoking You! I beg the Dao Ancestor to take action and punish Taiyi and the others!"

Emperor Taiyi and his group bore immeasurable luck; even a Sage would not lightly kill them. In his view, merely asking for them to be punished was enough. Once he obtained immeasurable luck and sat in the seat of Great Heavenly Venerate, a mere Emperor Taiyi could be killed with a backhand.

Hearing this, the Dao Ancestor first made some calculations, then let out a thoughtful hum before speaking.

"Good. Taiyi and the others were born from the Solar Star and possess immeasurable great luck. If you wish to secure your position as Head of Male Immortals, you must rely on your own efforts."

Below, a trace of disappointment appeared on East King Duke's face.

"However, I still hold one supreme treasure in my hands."

The Dao Ancestor pondered for a moment, and a scroll of array diagram appeared in his hand. He spoke to him: "This itself is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, but it has no offensive power. It is called the Myriad Immortals Array Diagram! It contains a Myriad Immortals Great Formation. If there are ten thousand Grand Unity Golden Immortal Perfection experts, it can allow the formation's master to rival a Sage. If there are no Grand Unity Golden Immortals, finding ten thousand Primordial Unity Golden Immortals can still grant the power of a Quasi-Saint. Moreover, for every additional person, the power of the Myriad Immortals Great Formation rises another level. After you return, comprehend it on your own."

East King Duke looked at the scroll of array diagram in his hand, and great joy spread across his face.

Ten thousand Primordial Unity Golden Immortals could grant the power of a Quasi-Saint. Ten thousand Grand Unity Golden Immortals could even grant the might of a Sage. This innate spiritual treasure had enormous potential!

"Disciple East King Duke thanks the Dao Ancestor for bestowing this treasure!"

On the high platform, the Dao Ancestor waved his hand and sent him out of the Purple Cloud Palace.

The next moment, endless dense purple mist spread out, extending into the boundless Chaos Qi until the Purple Cloud Palace could no longer be seen, then dissipated into nothingness. After making a solemn bow toward that direction, East King Duke's divine light flashed, and he returned to the Immortal Court, preparing to go into secluded cultivation for about ten thousand years, first refining the treasure, then comprehending the mysteries of this great formation.

Within the West, relying on the Sky-Probing Instrument in his hand, Ye Xuan was openly comprehending the Path of Becoming a Sage through Three Corpses in his own Dao field!

After reading it, a look of shock appeared on Ye Xuan's face.

The Path of Becoming a Sage through Three Corpses involved severing one's Good Corpse, Evil Corpse, and Self Corpse—the three obsessions—and entrusting them to innate spiritual treasures. The power of obsession was the most representative of one's true self for cultivators. This allowed the connection between oneself and the innate spiritual treasure to be even closer, instantly comprehending all its power of Great Dao Laws. Moreover, each of the three corpses possessed boundless Dharma power.

However, what Ye Xuan held was the complete method of severing the three corpses. As for the true method of becoming a Sage through three corpses, what had been passed down to the three thousand Innate God-Demons must have been heavily abridged. As for how much was cut, Ye Xuan could not tell.

"The supreme method of the Three Corpses Becoming Saint Method uses three treasures of the same root, aligned with one's own Great Dao. The three corpses unite to become a Sage, and can even seize the position of a Dao Lord. Moreover, when the three innate spiritual treasures merge, they can also ascend a level, serving as one's own Dao-founding treasure. As for the middle method, it uses three treasures of the same path. By relying on the Three Corpses Becoming Saint Method to fully comprehend their Great Dao Laws, the three corpses cannot unite, but one can still challenge the Dao Lord. The inferior method uses three treasures of the same root, allowing the three corpses to unite and enter the Realm of Sages, but it only makes one a Sage. One can humiliate lesser cultivators and rely on Sage power to suppress them, but against a Dao Lord, there is no power to fight back."

"The key to this supreme Dharma gate lies in this one supreme great divine power!"

Looking at the complete Three Corpses Becoming Saint Method within his Primordial Spirit, a thoughtful expression appeared in Ye Xuan's eyes.

"The complete Three Corpses Becoming Saint Method is also called the Three Yuan Dao Proving Corpse Slaying Secret Record! As for its divine power, it is the Tong Xuan Dao Chapter. In this method of becoming a Sage, the Tong Xuan Dao Chapter is the most crucial part. Without the Tong Xuan Dao Chapter, the Three Corpses Becoming Saint Method is just an ordinary Sage-making method, slightly stronger than becoming a Sage through great merit!"

In Ye Xuan's hand, the Jade Plate Fragment also produced endless mysterious light, guiding him into the Dao and elevating his understanding of the Three Yuan Dao Proving Corpse Slaying Secret Record to a higher level.

Ten thousand years later, around Ye Xuan's body, dense Law power surged once more.

"Sever!"

Ye Xuan's eyes snapped open, and he let out a great shout. The powerful aura from his body swept across millions of miles of land. With the shout, a shadow was severed from his physical body.

Seeing the Good Corpse emerge, Ye Xuan flipped his hand, and a beam of Innate Divine Light shot out from the Three Thousand Heavens. An Innate Gourd, carrying endless purple-gold divine light, began to merge with it.

"Boom!"

With a thunderous roar, when the innate spiritual treasure, the Karma Gourd, fell into the Good Corpse's hand, the figure became even more lifelike, indistinguishable from a true living being. After severing the Good Corpse, Ye Xuan's aura surged wildly, as if it would ascend straight into the Realm of Quasi-Saint. Endless power of Great Dao Laws poured from his body into the world. Under this aura, countless living beings trembled.

Watching this scene, Daoist Zhunti was stunned, unable to believe his eyes.

"This is..."

"Eldest Brother!"

"Only thirty thousand years, and he's entered the Quasi-Saint realm?"

From Grand Unity Golden Immortal Perfection, he had surged straight into the Realm of Quasi-Saint in less than half a Yuanhui. Watching the formidable aura radiating from Ye Xuan, Zhunti felt immense pressure and promptly retreated into Secluded Cultivation again.

Seeing his own law power multiply tenfold in one go, Ye Xuan let out a faint smile.

Moreover, he had comprehended another supreme Great Way.

One of the highest paths—the Way of Karma.

Just as Ye Xuan was about to enter Secluded Cultivation to stabilize his strength, another Electronic Sound rang in his ears.
