Donghua Slays Another Corpse and Ascends to the Peak
Jingyang Palace in the Purple Mansion, the Daoist temple of Donghua, is isolated from the world, forming its own space.
Just as Taishang, Zhen Yuanzi, Hong Yun, and others arrived, Donghua remained immersed in his cultivation.
When he realized that "the Emperor's Way suppresses everything, everything is the Emperor's Way, and the Emperor's Way is everything," he began to focus on cultivating the Emperor's Way in order to break through to the Peak Quasi-Saint.
Moreover, this time he not only wants to break through to the Peak Quasi-Saint, but he also wants to take advantage of this opportunity to achieve the unity of Immortal and Demon and defeat Luohu to sever his obsessive corpse.
The Obsessive Corpse, also known as the Self Corpse or Self Corpse, is the last of the Three Corpses and the most difficult to eradicate.
Of course, not severing the three corpses does not affect the attainment of the Attain Hunyuan Dao. After all, Slaying Three Corpses is just a method to improve Dao Realm Cultivation, allowing one to get closer to the Great Dao.
Just like how Luohu could Attain Hunyuan Dao without practicing the Method of Severing the Three Corpses.
According to Donghua's memories inherited from Luohu, the method used by the Devil Dao to enhance their Dao Realm Cultivation during the Quasi-Saint stage was called the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Method.
The seven emotions refine the mind, the six desires extinguish the mind!
This method is quite similar to the methods of cultivating the mind in later Buddhist Sect, and they are of the same essence!
Perhaps the methods of cultivating the mind in later Buddhist Sect were a new approach developed by Jieyin and Jieyin and Zhunti based on the methods of Slaying Three Corpses and the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Method.
The River of Destiny emerges!
Donghua once again steps into the River of Destiny, where various destinies intersect.
The past does not exist; where we stand is the present. As for the future, a single thought is the future.
This is the River of Destiny!
The long river, which should have been covered by various Desire and Obsession, now only contained obsessions, because Donghua had already severed Good and Evil Two Corpses, and only obsessions remained.
Donghua begins his journey through the River of Destiny!
Every step forward requires suppressing the waves of the long river with one's own great path.
As Donghua moved forward, various obsessions began to hinder him, and all sorts of thoughts arose in his mind, wanting him to succumb to them.
A single thought can determine one's destiny!
A thought will come out in the future!
Donghua's every obsession and idea transformed into unpredictable futures, which in turn led to the evolution of the world and the formation of different lives.
This is the nature of the unknowable future. If the future were clear and predictable, what would be the point? Wouldn't that just be living like a puppet?
When you try to change this fate, the future has already changed. This is the magic of fate, and this is also the magic of the primordial chaos, because the primordial chaos shattered into the River of Time and Space and the River of Destiny.
Donghua walked forward slowly. This time, the number of obstacles in the River of Destiny was much less than before, but the quality of the obstacles had greatly increased. Each obstacle required Donghua to deal with it carefully.
Because the one who is fixated on something is oneself!
But none of this could stop him from moving forward!
Countless obsessions surged forth, transforming into countless "selves" that hindered Donghua's progress.
In the River of Destiny, magical power is not manifest, only the Dao remains. The Heavenly Emperor Dharma Form appears and stands behind him. The attacking figures are like moths drawn to a flame, instantly suppressed and subdued by the Heavenly Emperor Dharma Form.
This is the simplest way to break free from attachment: break it with force!
Another approach is to delve into one's obsessions, to experience the future shaped by those obsessions, and then to overcome those obsessions through endless evolution.
And this method is the best, because you only understand it through experience.
Those who cling to things have never experienced them, never taken them up, so how can they truly let go!
But Donghua didn't have much time left, so he directly shattered some simple obsessions with force, while he would delve into those obsessions that he felt he had to face, to slowly experience them and then gradually overcome them!
The River of Destiny is neither wide nor long, Donghua just keeps moving forward. The surging waves cannot stop him, nor can his many obsessions hinder him.
As Donghua moved forward, too many obsessions of victory had gathered behind him: his own obsession on Earth, his original body, the East King Gong, and the obsession that arose after his rebirth in the Primordial Wilderness.
They are incredibly diverse!
The obsessions on Earth are insignificant; before him now, if they dare to appear, they can be shattered instantly. The difficulty lies in finding them.
The River of Destiny is so vast that if one's obsession is not manifest, there is really no way for him to find it. He can only search little by little, and this is what he discovered when he first stepped into the River of Destiny after his rebirth.
The original East King Gong's greatest obsession was to become the Heavenly Emperor Position. Although he has not yet achieved the Heavenly Emperor Position, his heart has reached that level.
Therefore, the original owner's greatest obsession was shattered in an instant before him, which can be considered a piece of news.
Another obsession of the original owner was to attain enlightenment, or rather, this is also an obsession of Donghua now.
This is also his biggest obsession so far!
It's also the most difficult obsession to overcome!
It cannot be broken by force; only by immersing oneself in it, experiencing the difficulty of Attain Hunyuan Dao, and Attain Hunyuan Dao in the River of Destiny can one overcome this obsession!
The future is determined by a single thought!
In this life, Donghua devoted himself to cultivating the Pure Yang Great Dao. He cultivated the Pure Yang Great Dao to its peak, where Pure Yang gave birth to Yin, and the sun and Yin became one. However, he still failed in the end and could not Attain Hunyuan Dao.
Unwilling to accept defeat, he seemed to be caught in some kind of obsession and began cultivating the Pure Yang Great Dao once again. This time, he only cultivated Pure Yang, the ultimate form of which is Supreme Yang.
The ultimate is the highest!
But he still failed. No matter how powerful the Yang energy was, Yin cannot produce life, and Yang cannot grow. He failed to Attain Hunyuan Dao.
Upon arriving at this point, Donghua was somewhat confused. Pure Yang Transformation wouldn't work, nor would Supreme Yang.
Is the Pure Yang Great Dao truly a dead end?
"No, it shouldn't be like this. Of the Three Thousand Great Daos, each one can prove Hun Yuan. The Pure Yang Great Dao must be able to do it."
However, Donghua regained his senses at this moment and did not fall into this obsession.
He gave up on using the Pure Yang Great Dao to prove his Dao. Although Three Thousand Great Daos can be used to prove one's Dao, why was he the one who had to use the Pure Yang Dao?
This time, Donghua chose to prove his Dao using the Eight Trigrams Great Dao. The Eight Trigrams evolve into myriad paths, from the Wuji Great Dao to the Eight Trigrams Great Dao, and then to the infinite!
In this timeline of destiny, Donghua ascended to the Peak Quasi-Saint with an invincible aura, but he was still unable to break through to the Hun Yuan!
Because he cannot suppress all paths with one, nor can he be one with the Eight Trigrams, because he always feels that the Eight Trigrams are missing something.
A dead end!
Donghua thus sank into the River of Destiny, trying again and again various great paths and methods to Attain Hunyuan Dao, but without success!
He didn't know how much time had passed, nor what he was doing. He seemed to have forgotten everything, and just kept struggling forward in the River of Destiny.
He went through countless lifetimes of seeking enlightenment, and even nearly succumbed to the cycle of existence, but all his attempts failed.
Until the moment the Emperor's Path was born, countless future worlds that cultivated the Emperor's Path evolved. In each of these worlds, Donghua tried countless methods to attain the Emperor's Path.
After traversing world after world, Donghua is finally about to succeed!
In that world, Donghua's might overwhelmed the heavens, and his virtue extended to all living beings. He established the Heavenly Court, which ruled over the three realms of Heaven, Heavenly Court, Heaven, Earth, and Human Realms. The name of the Heavenly Emperor spread throughout the Myriad Worlds, and it seemed that his philosophy of governance had been recognized by everyone.
Because those who disagree are all dead!
At that moment, Donghua gathered the power of all living beings and grasped the Heavenly Dao Power, successfully Attain Hunyuan Dao!
Meanwhile, in the River of Destiny, the obsession with attaining enlightenment instantly transformed into another "Donghua" who came to kill him.
In the River of Destiny, Donghua, after experiencing countless worlds, had a hazy and lost look in his eyes. But at the moment of attaining enlightenment, his eyes instantly cleared, all the paths converged into his body, the Emperor's Path emerged, and the Heavenly Emperor Dharma Form reappeared.
In the River of Destiny, Donghua took a light step forward, a step that stirred up boundless waves.
He stood firm amidst it all, completely unaffected.
"The Heavenly Emperor treads upon destiny, and all laws return to his body!"
With one step, his obsession with attaining enlightenment crumbled and instantly transformed into a ball of light standing behind Donghua.
With this obsession overcome, Donghua continued forward, beginning his journey across the River of Destiny, because he not only wanted to successfully Slaying the Corpse, but also to achieve the Peak Quasi-Saint.
All laws return to the body, the Heavenly Emperor Dharma Form treads upon destiny, Donghua continuously advances in the River of Destiny.
Every wave that surges through the long river is a test of his Dao and a trial of his Dao Heart.
Even with the Heavenly Emperor Dharma Form upon him, he could only move forward with difficulty, and in the end, his Dao could no longer suppress the long river.
Sometimes, taking one step forward only results in being pushed back several steps!
"I am the Heavenly Emperor, and I shall suppress all!"
"Destiny is in our own hands!"
At that moment, Donghua rushed forward without hesitation, and a crisp sound rang out, as if a barrier had been broken.
At that moment, Donghua stood on the River of Destiny, and he finally saw the other side!
The other side is right there!
But he no longer had the strength to cross the river and was instantly knocked out of the river.
When Donghua's mind returned to the Jingyang Palace, he instantly summoned the Pure Yang Sword, his natal Top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure.
The Pure Yang Sword swept across the sky, and strands of white light emanated from Donghua's body, which began to be gathered together.
As the Pure Yang Sword absorbed the obsession, it also began to emit Daoist charm, and the Pure Yang Great Dao manifested in Jingyang Cave!
The Great Way and unwavering conviction combined!
The Pure Yang Sword instantly transformed into a figure and appeared before Donghua.
Dressed in imperial robes and wearing a purple-gold crown!
How majestic!
"You are the embodiment of the Pure Yang Sword, my obsession. I will name you Pure Yang, which also means 'the highest heaven'!"
"Pure Yang/Qiong Gao greets this Venerable One!"
Donghua smiled gently, and with a thought, Pure Yang transformed into a stream of light and entered his body.
"It's time to break through to the Peak Quasi-Saint!"
Donghua activated the One Hundred and Eight Heavens of the Purple Mansion and the One Hundred and Eight Heavens of the Qingfu, with immortals and demons sharing the same body. Two completely different magical powers began to circulate, and the two great heavens formed Taiji world within his body.
Surrounded by the Three Thousand Great Daos, destiny is bestowed upon him, cause and effect accompany him, time and space flow, pure Yang is born, the Eight Trigrams open the heavens...
The Dragon Head Golden Staff transformed into Golden Dragon encircling it, Kongtong Seal formed a grotto-heaven above its head.
The Heavenly Emperor Dharma Form reappears, his imperial path sweeps across the sky, operating the Three Thousand Great Daos to suppress everything!
At this moment, Donghua reached his peak!
P. S.: That's all for now. The final battle will be in the last chapter, which might be a little later!
