Slaying a Corpse to Attain Sainthood, Another Innate Supreme Treasure!

Purple Cloud Palace.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun, with a kind brow and benevolent expression, looked calmly at East King Duke.

With such a deep background and boundless fortune, why couldn't he contribute to the Primordial World?

He could see that East King Duke had been holding back all along, which was why he entrusted the latter with explaining the methods of proving the Dao.

"Daoist Brother East King Duke, please explain the methods of proving the Dao for us!"

"Wah wah... have pity on us brothers! We traveled billions of miles from the Western World, yet we cannot grasp the method to prove the Dao—we are too miserable!"

Within the Purple Cloud Palace, wails filled the air.

Zhunti and Jieyin, that pair of living treasures, wept bitterly, their bodies trembling as they played up their misery before East King Duke, utterly disregarding the face of Innate Deities.

Shameless wretches!

Seeing this, East King Duke gave a slight nod, then spoke eloquently, explaining the methods of proving the Dao to the assembly.

"The Great Dao has three thousand paths, and the methods to prove the Dao are countless. However, This Emperor categorizes them into four types!"

"The first is proving the Dao through Laws. During the Chaos Era, the Three Thousand Demon Gods were born mastering Laws, their cultivation far surpassing that of Heavenly Dao Saints. Great God Pangu, moreover, wielded the Law of Strength and was proficient in the Three Thousand Laws, using his invincible might to create the world."

"Among the Three Thousand Laws, supreme power reigns. This Emperor used the Law of Strength to break through the barrier between the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal and the Quasi-Saint, thereby transcending the River of Life, immune to all tribulations!"

As East King Duke's words fell, the crowd fixed their gazes upon him.

Could one actually prove the Dao and become a Saint through Laws?

Among the Innate Deities present, most of the great powers had some understanding of Laws, but they had never considered using them to prove the Dao and become Saints.

After East King Duke's explanation, a seed seemed to sprout in their hearts.

"May I ask, Daoist Brother East King Duke, can our Wu Race prove the Dao through Laws?"

Houtu stood up and gave a slight bow to East King Duke.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches had mastered Laws since birth, with Dijiang's Space Law and Zhu Jiuyin's Time Law being the most profound—and naturally, the most difficult to comprehend.

If they could prove the Dao through Laws, the Wu Race might give birth to twelve Saints.

Moreover, among the countless Wu Race members, there were still many beings capable of sensing Laws.

"Naturally, it is possible. However, comprehending Laws is extremely difficult. Even This Emperor had to refine countless opportunities to achieve Minor Achievement of the Law of Strength and break through to Early-stage Quasi-Saint."

"Cultivating Laws requires not only the tempering of endless years but also the blessing of supreme opportunities. As for the Twelve Ancestral Witches, they are born with Laws. Even if they cannot prove the Dao and become Saints, they will still be unmatched in the Quasi-Saint Realm!"

At these words, the light of hope in Houtu's eyes faded.

East King Duke's words had cast her into an abyss, as if no one in the Wu Race could become a Saint.

Pausing briefly, East King Duke looked at Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi and began to explain the second method of proving the Dao.

"The second is proving the Dao through Fortune. During the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, the Three Races fought a great war, contending for the fortune of the Primordial World. As long as one can unify the Primordial World and become the Lord of Heaven and Earth, one can prove the Dao and become a Saint through Fortune."

"The Yao Race Heavenly Court has just been established. Daoist Brother Dijun is blessed with boundless fortune. It seems that after this sermon, you will likely prove the Dao and become a Quasi-Saint!"

Upon hearing this.

The various Innate Great Powers turned their heads, casting glances of hostility at Dijun.

To rule over the Primordial World—that would mean riding above them all.

Innate Deities would never submit.

"The third is proving the Dao through Merit, using Great Dao Merit or Heavenly Dao Merit to forcibly elevate one's cultivation. However, one's combat strength will naturally be inferior to those who prove the Dao through Laws or Fortune."

"This Emperor cultivates the path of the Three Thousand Laws, with the Law of Strength as the foundation and the other Laws as supplements. In time, I will achieve the ultimate combat power. But the path is long and arduous, and proving the Dao to become a Saint is extremely difficult."

"Therefore, proving the Dao through Merit is a shortcut. Fellow Daoists may give it a try."

As Soon as These Words Were Spoken, the Purple Cloud Palace erupted in uproar.

The path of the Three Thousand Laws!

East King Duke's ambition was too great—he actually sought to rival Pangu. So Terrifying!

"Sister, the Immortal Emperor wants to prove the Dao through the Three Thousand Laws. He is truly a great man, far superior to that pair of brothers, Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi. They always want us to join the Heavenly Court, clearly with ill intentions."

"During the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, the Three Races died horribly. Rather than fight over that elusive fortune, it's better to quietly cultivate Laws and find a powerful Innate Great Power to protect each other."

Changxi gazed at East King Duke, her tender heart racing.

Dijun was heavy-hearted, Eastern Emperor Taiyi acted rashly, but only East King Duke possessed boundless Immortal Charm and an extraordinary bearing—domineering yet gentle in his dealings with others.

"You little girl, could you be in love?"

Xihe chuckled softly, though doubts stirred in her own heart.

The Dao Sound was vast, the Great Dao profound.

On the Cloud Platform, Dao Ancestor Hongjun radiated immortal energy, the Jade Disk of Creation shimmering with the faint light of Laws.

"This child can bear the great responsibility of the Primordial World. Once he proves the Dao and becomes a Saint, this poor Daoist's Jade Disk of Creation should change hands!"

"The Immortal Dao and the Heavenly Dao—these are this poor Daoist's path!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun's mind was clear, and he quickly made his decision.

Since he was going to nurture East King Duke, he had to give him sufficient support.

The Jade Disk of Creation contained the Three Thousand Great Daos, and it was fitting for East King Duke to possess it.

"The final method of proving the Dao is the Method of Slaying Three Corpses to Attain Dao, a unique path created by this Dao Ancestor!"

"Slaying the Three Corpses to prove the Dao is the simplest way to break through to Quasi-Saint, but to actually prove Dao and become a Saint is extremely difficult—those without sufficient opportunity cannot become Saints!"

As soon as East King Duke spoke these words, many of the Innate Deities' eyes lit up, and they perked up completely.

But when they heard that becoming a Saint was difficult, their heads drooped one after another, as if lamenting the injustice of the Heavenly Dao for not allowing them to become Saints.

"The method of slaying the Three Corpses to become a Saint requires relying on homologous Innate Spiritual Objects to slay the Good Corpse, the Evil Corpse, and the Self Corpse. Only when the Three Corpses are finally unified can one prove Dao and become a Saint."

"However, in the Primordial Wilderness, homologous Innate Spiritual Objects are extremely rare. Even This Emperor cannot gather a full set, so those lacking in talent and opportunity will find it difficult to become Saints."

"The higher the grade of these Innate Spiritual Objects, the stronger the combat power of the slain Three Corpses. Whether they are Innate Spiritual Roots or Innate Spiritual Treasures, both are acceptable!"

As his words fell.

The many Innate Deities had not yet reacted, all standing dumbfounded as if they had lost their wits.

At that moment.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun suddenly trembled, seizing some kind of opportunity. The Immortal Charm around him grew denser, and the Great Luo Three Flowers manifested, within which the Three Corpses opened their eyes.

"No wonder this poor Daoist always felt there was a flaw in the Three Corpses Dao-proving method. It turns out one must use homologous Innate Spiritual Objects to slay the Three Corpses. This poor Daoist used the Jade Disk of Creation, which is a homologous object."

"But your opportunities are insufficient, and homologous Innate Spiritual Objects are far too few. Therefore, you still need a divine object bestowed by the Heavenly Dao to fuse the Three Corpses before you can prove Dao and become a Saint!"

"This poor Daoist... understands!"

Boom!

As Dao Ancestor Hongjun murmured to himself, his mana surged several times over, and he actually broke through a realm, reaching the peak of a Heavenly Dao Saint.

If he merged with the Heavenly Dao after the third lecture, his cultivation would rise even further.

Above the Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus, East King Duke raised an eyebrow slightly.

The divine object Dao Ancestor Hongjun spoke of was likely the Primordial Violet Qi. Unfortunately, Primordial Violet Qi was extremely scarce within the Primordial Wilderness, clearly reserved for the Heavenly Dao Saints. The other Innate Deities could not prove Dao by slaying the Three Corpses.

After this lecture, the entire Primordial Wilderness would erupt into chaos over the struggle for Innate Spiritual Objects. A storm of blood and slaughter was about to unfold, utterly brutal.

"These four methods of proving Dao and becoming a Saint—fellow Daoists may consider them for yourselves!"

With that said.

Above the Purple Cloud Palace, countless celestial phenomena began to converge.

Purple Qi Came from the East, Heavenly Flowers Scattered, and an infinite golden light of merit surged toward East King Duke, coalescing in the air into the Heavenly Dao Merit Golden Wheel, shining with dazzling golden radiance.

For a moment, all the Innate Deities were filled with envy.

The Heavenly Dao merit East King Duke had obtained was truly incalculable.

"These are twelve Sea-Calming Pearls. Together with the twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls in West Queen Mother's possession, they form a complete set. You have explained the Dao-proving methods on behalf of this poor Daoist, so I gift this spiritual treasure to you!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun lightly waved his jade sleeve, and twelve pearls shimmering with Mysterious Light floated before West Queen Mother. Her Primordial Spirit trembled slightly, and the remaining twenty Sea-Calming Pearls flew out, evolving the myriad heavens in the air.

"Thank you, Dao Ancestor!"

East King Duke bowed respectfully, then channeled his mana to make the thirty-six Sea-Calming Pearls operate along a mysterious trajectory, manifesting the vast power of the myriad heavens.

"An Innate Supreme Treasure! These thirty-six Sea-Calming Pearls are actually an Innate Supreme Treasure!"

"Twelve of them are a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, which means West Queen Mother can use the thirty-six Sea-Calming Pearls to slay her Three Corpses and thus prove Dao and become a Saint."

"Hiss..."

Fuxi exclaimed in shock, his voice echoing through the Purple Cloud Palace.

In an instant, the jaws of the many Innate Deities dropped once again—this was simply too outrageous.
