Immortal aura swirled all around as the Supreme Yin Law swept through the air.

The West Queen Mother gazed at the Thirty-six Sea-Calming Pearls and suddenly fell into a state of enlightenment, carefully comprehending the Method of Slaying Three Corpses to Attain Dao as Dong Wanggong explained it.

In an instant!

Twelve Sea-Calming Pearls separated from the rest and merged into one of the West Queen Mother's Great Luo Three Flowers. Her primordial spirit wrapped around them, and an aura of supreme goodness emerged.

The West Queen Mother was the first to decide to slay her Good Corpse and become a Quasi-Saint powerhouse.

Cultivating the Method of Slaying Three Corpses to Attain Dao did not hinder her comprehension of the Supreme Yin Law. In fact, the two could even fuse with each other, producing many wondrous mysteries.

In no time at all,

a hazy figure took shape atop that Flower of Zenith Heaven. It looked remarkably like the West Queen Mother, but its aura of goodness was even more pronounced, as if it embraced all living beings and followed the Dao of compassion.

"Early-stage Quasi-Saint. I did it!"

The West Queen Mother murmured to herself, then withdrew her Flower of Zenith Heaven. The Thirty-six Sea-Calming Pearls also returned to her primordial spirit, radiating an obscure Dao Resonance.

The might of a Quasi-Saint suppressed all things.

The many Innate Deities present immediately sensed the power contained within the West Queen Mother's delicate body. Their hearts grew even more restless, as they wondered which path to enlightenment they should choose.

"Husband, it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, I could never have become a Quasi-Saint!"

"When the lecture ends, I'll let you unlock a new divine ability, as well as the Method of Inhaling and Exhaling Merit you've been looking forward to!"

The West Queen Mother nestled in Dong Wanggong's arms, stroking his chest with her right hand. Her red lips parted, and her breath was fragrant; she looked enchanting and tender.

Her cheeks were as rosy as the sunset, her skin as fair as Snow of Mount Tian.

Enjoying the softness of the beauty in his arms, Dong Wanggong's lips curled into a faint smile. He had already decided how he would punish the West Queen Mother.

First this, then that!

This was the life!

"Ahem, ahem..."

"Dong Wanggong and the West Queen Mother really are enviable. If only I'd known this would happen, I would've shaped myself a female immortal body on the day I took form. Then I might've won myself an Innate Supreme Treasure, too."

"What a pity!"

Fuxi gave a light cough. Even as a top powerhouse, he only had the Fuxi Qin, a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. He had never even touched an Innate Supreme Treasure, let alone owned one.

The West Queen Mother had already gained an unparalleled opportunity through Dong Wanggong.

By contrast, none of the male immortals present had broken through to Quasi-Saint—not even Old Master Taiqing. They were all useless.

On his meditation cushion,

Old Master Taiqing stood up once more and bowed to Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"May I ask, Dao Ancestor: if we Three Pure Ones cultivate the Method of Slaying Three Corpses to Attain Dao but lack innate spiritual objects of the same origin, can we use the Heavenly Dao divine objects you mentioned to fuse our Three Corpses and become Heavenly Dao Saints?"

At his words, everyone on the cushions grew excited.

Slaying the Three Corpses was far easier than attaining Dao through the laws, becoming a Saint through destiny, or becoming a Saint through merit. If they could find a way to fuse their Three Corpses, they would certainly cultivate this path.

"When the lecture resumes next time, I will grant you an opportunity. But Heavenly Dao divine objects are exceedingly rare, so you should think carefully before making your decision."

"Besides, not all of the Three Thousand Innate Gods possess exceptional talent. If they do not cultivate the Method of Slaying Three Corpses to Attain Dao, they will have scant opportunity to break through to Quasi-Saint in this lifetime."

"However, those with great perseverance may endure a thousand tribulations and still have a chance to attain Dao. You may also cultivate the Three Corpses and the laws together; the two paths do not interfere with each other!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun spoke without revealing the Heavenly Secrets.

Sometimes, it was better to cultivate steadily than to reach beyond one's grasp.

Hearing this, a glimmer of wisdom flashed in Old Master Taiqing's eyes. He seemed to have reached an epiphany.

The Heavenly Dao divine objects would naturally be granted to those with the right origins.

And among the Three Thousand Innate Gods, except for the extraordinary Dong Wanggong, the other powerhouses' talent and destiny were inferior to those of the Three Pure Ones. Thus, the Three Pure Ones would surely obtain the Heavenly Dao divine objects.

"Thank you for your guidance, Dao Ancestor. I am willing to cultivate the Method of Slaying Three Corpses to Attain Dao!"

"Heaven and Earth Mysterious Exquisite Pagoda, Great Dao Merit Golden Wheel, appear!"

"The Dao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to all things! Boundless Dao, let my Self Corpse be severed!"

At once!

Old Master Taiqing brought out the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Exquisite Pagoda and fused it with the Great Dao Merit Golden Wheel, transforming them directly into the strongest innate spiritual object to house his Self Corpse.

Very soon, Taiqing energy surged, and the entire Zixiao Palace erupted with unparalleled phenomena.

Old Master Taiqing possessed the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique, so he quickly formed his Self Corpse. He also merged his Grand Pure Incarnation into it, giving it extraordinary power and depth as it underwent a complete transformation.

"I am Taishang Laojun. Greetings, fellow Daoist!"

Unlike the West Queen Mother, Old Master Taiqing manifested his Self Corpse directly. It was Taishang Laojun, whose body radiated the might of a Quasi-Saint, with the Law of Elixirs swirling around him.

"Please, no need for formalities. This is the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Purple Gold Gourd. From now on, the task of refining Nine-Revolutions Golden Elixirs is yours."

Old Master Taiqing stirred his magical power, sending a streak of light into Taishang Laojun's body.

When ordinary Innate Deities first slayed a corpse, their Three Corpses Incarnations were certain to be extremely hazy. They could only remain within their Great Luo Three Flowers and slowly be nurtured, unable to manifest.

But Old Master Taiqing had broken through the taboo. His Self Corpse was exceptionally complete, and he had even specifically cultivated the Law of Elixirs. This would save him countless years and allow him to devote himself to cultivating the Dao.

"Yuqing's way—slay the corpse!"

"Shangqing's way—slay the corpse!"

Seeing that even his eldest brother had slayed his Self Corpse, Yuanshi and Tongtian naturally followed suit. Using the gourds they had obtained from Buzhou Mountain to slay their Good Corpses, they broke through to become early-stage Quasi-Saint powerhouses.

As for the other Innate Deities, some had yet to decide, while others were short on resources and lacked suitable spiritual treasures with which to slay their Three Corpses. They did not break through.

"This lecture has ended. You may all disperse!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun sighed softly and merged into the Heavenly Dao Golden Wheel. In an instant, the Three Thousand Innate Gods were swept out of Zixiao Palace.

The Dao Sound lingered, and immortal charm filled the air.

Dong Wanggong held the West Queen Mother around her willowy waist as he stood atop Qiongqi's draconic body.

Thunder rumbled, shattering the darkness.

Crossing the boundless Chaos and starry sky, the two headed for Penglai Immortal Island in the East Sea.

Amid the Chaos Qi Flow, Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi looked gloomy.

"Elder brother, how should we deal with Dong Wanggong and the West Queen Mother? With the strength of our Yao Race Heavenly Court, we probably aren't their match right now."

"If we could seize all the treasures in Dong Wanggong's possession, we'd have the strength to vie for supremacy in the Primordial Wilderness and suppress the Ten Thousand Races."

Eastern Emperor Taiyi was unwilling to accept it. Why did Dong Wanggong get to possess all those treasures, each of which was no less powerful than his own Chaos Bell?

At this, Dijun shook his head.

"Dong Wanggong is too powerful. We should focus on figuring out how to deal with the Wu Race."

"By the way, once we return to the Sun Star, we must hurry and refine the Zhou Tian Star Banner. Only then can we set up the Myriad Stars Great Array. When the time comes, even Dong Wanggong might not be a match for our Yao Race!"

Dijun had gained the Myriad Stars Great Array by observing the Archaic Stars of the firmament and comprehending the Hetu Luoshu. Once deployed, it could draw on the power of countless stars to crush its enemies.

"Excellent!"

"The day our Yao Race unifies the Primordial Wilderness will be the day Dong Wanggong falls!"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi clenched his fists, True Sun Fire blazing in his eyes. It was as though he could tear Dong Wanggong to pieces the very next moment and grind his bones to dust.

After making their plans, the two led the Yao Race powerhouses toward the Sun Star.

As for the other Innate Deities, each had their own schemes, and no one could know what plots they were hiding.

Penglai Immortal Island.

Spirit beasts galloped as immortal herbs swayed.

The West Queen Mother and Dong Wanggong were absorbed in cultivation, while Qiongqi guarded the Three Immortal Islands. Using the Chaos Gourd, he formed a sea of thunder and attained enlightenment in the Thunder Law within it.

"Husband, you should hurry and find me a sister. I really can't withstand your Primordial Power!"

"I think Fellow Daoist Nuwa, and the sisters Xihe and Changxi, would all make fine choices. Besides, their cultivation is strong, and they'll be able to help you in the future!"

The West Queen Mother was sore all over, her forehead glistening with fragrant sweat.

Although she also cultivated the Great Dao Yin-Yang Art, the energy contained in Dong Wanggong's Chaos Demon God Body was indeed terrifying and vast, utterly beyond comparison with that of an ordinary person.

Dong Wanggong stroked the West Queen Mother's head and smiled with satisfaction.

"Then I'll have to refine a jade bed big enough to fit several women. But are you really willing to let me make a move on the other female immortals?"

"Nuwa, Xihe, and Changxi are all peerless female immortals. If I cultivate with them, my Yin-Yang Law will surely grow even more profound!"

Dong Wanggong admitted to the shameless thoughts in his heart.

Now that he was in the Primordial Wilderness and cultivating the Yin-Yang Law, why not build a harem?

"Hmph, I knew it!"

"Now it's my turn to punish you! Take this, Supreme Yin Law!"

The West Queen Mother gave a delicate snort and turned the tables, pinning Dong Wanggong beneath her.

As expected of a woman skilled in the art of seduction—she had a charm all her own.
