Severing Three Corpses to Prove the Dao Method, Fortune and Misfortune Depend on Each Other

As Hongjun spoke, the Dao Sound transformed from mere sound into patterns of Law flowing directly into the hearts of every listener:

"Great Luo beings transcend the river of fate and roam freely between heaven and earth, yet beyond the river lies another sky, and their hearts remain bound. Thus, they do not possess true freedom.

Only by Severing Three Corpses, achieving the Quasi-Saint realm, and obtaining the Dao Fruit of a Sage can one attain true freedom!"

As the Dao Sound faded, golden lotuses sprouted from the void, sweet springs welled from the earth, and rays of auspicious light condensed into tangible seal script, encircling the palace as if the Great Dao itself was resonating.

"The Primordial Spirit of all beings is like an uncarved jade, yet from the moment of its birth, it is veiled by the Three Miasmas. These Three Miasmas are the Three Corpses."

The first is the Corpse of Good Intent: Goodness is virtue, but excessive attachment becomes shackles. Compassion can trap oneself, causing one to become self-righteous and bound, unable to attain liberation.

The second is the Corpse of Evil Intent: Evil is malevolence, but indulgence becomes an abyss. Brutality devours clarity, causing one to be self-indulgent and self-destructive, losing their true nature.

The third is the Corpse of Obsession: This is the most hidden, the most stubborn, and the Corpse of Self.

All greed, anger, ignorance, and arrogance, all attachments, originate from this. It is like a heart-prison, defining boundaries and preventing you from recognizing your true self."

At this point, Hongjun flicked his sleeve, conjuring an illusion. An ancient mirror, covered in dust, was gradually wiped clean, revealing its brilliant radiance once more.

"The Dao Heart is like a bright mirror, and the Three Corpses are like dust. Severing the corpses is not about destroying the mirror, nor is it about severing emotions or desires. It is about wiping away the dust so that the mirror becomes bright and illuminates all things."

"Severing the Three Corpses requires facing one's True Heart, observing movement in stillness, and maintaining stillness in movement. One may witness the collapse of galaxies without wavering, or enter the myriad layers of the mortal world without losing their spirit.

When the Three Corpses are severed, one does not become like dead wood or cold stone, but attains a heart of great freedom.

Goodness, evil, and obsession drift away like clouds across the sky, leaving no trace; all Karma is like a boat sailing on clear waves, passing without a ripple.

As the Dao Sound resonated, the Dao Rhyme within the Purple Firmament Palace lingered for a long time. The three thousand guests either pondered, suddenly understood, or wore expressions of bitterness, all immersed in this supreme and wondrous method.

The Severing of the Three Corpses produces formless thoughts, which require tangible objects as anchors to manifest their power and endure in the world.

Therefore, after Severing the Three Corpses, one must choose an Innate Spiritual Treasure as a vessel. You must understand that this object concerns your future Dao path, and you must be extremely cautious."

Hongjun's Dao Sound paused slightly. He swept his gaze over the many powerful beings below, who were deep in thought, and continued his lecture.

"Firstly, the vessel chosen must be of the highest possible grade. The more profound the Origin of the vessel, the stronger the Dao thought it can bear, and the more wondrous the manifested Spiritual Powers of the Three Corpses will be in the future. This is the foundation that determines the height you will reach."

"Secondly, compatibility is key."

As the Dao Ancestor's voice fell, two intertwined streams of Dao Rhyme brilliance appeared in the air.

One stream was of the same root and origin, tightly connected. The other, though originating from different sources, resonated with the same Law fluctuations.

"There are two types of compatibility, and you may choose your path."

He pointed to the first stream of brilliance:

"One is 'Same Origin': If you use a vessel of the same origin to house the Three Corpses, their auras will be connected, and their Dao Rhyme will be in harmony. When the Three Corpses eventually merge, it will be as natural as water reaching its destination, with greatly reduced resistance."

"However, the Primordial World is vast, and such spirit treasures of the same origin are extremely rare. Only those with great destiny can obtain them, making them incredibly difficult to find."

The Dao Ancestor then turned to the second stream of brilliance:

"The second is 'Same Law': This path, while not as seamless as the 'Same Origin' path, is a smoother road."

"All Innate objects contain profound Laws. If you can find three spiritual treasures that embody the same Law, it will require some effort, but it is far better than pursuing those illusory treasures of the same origin."

"Using this method to house the Three Corpses will allow you to delve deeply into one Law, establishing a stable foundation. It is a wise choice."

The next moment, the voice of Hongjun Dao Ancestor suddenly rose, like a great bell and a thunderous roar from the nine heavens, shaking the Primordial Spirits of the three thousand

Because of this, during the long years after breaking through to the Quasi-Saint realm, the Spiritual Power they displayed often surpassed that of Golden Immortals of the Origin of the same level.

However, this power was ultimately "borrowed." The true comprehension of the Laws by a Quasi-Saint had not reached a corresponding level due to Severing Three Corpses.

The Laws contained within Innate spiritual items are fixed; they are predetermined by the Innate endowment and do not grow or transform.

Therefore, the initial strength of a Quasi-Saint is like a rootless tree, appearing lush but unable to reach the heavens.

If one wishes to advance further and glimpse the realm of Hunyuan Great Luo, they must eventually turn back, tread steadily, and truly comprehend the profound workings of the Heaven and Earth Laws.

This method of Severing Three Corpses, though seemingly a shortcut, ultimately guides the cultivator back to the most fundamental "path of Laws."

However, the method of Severing Three Corpses is extremely profound. How difficult is it to follow the Heavenly Dao and break through to Golden Immortal of the Origin by walking the path of Laws?

During the Fierce Beast Great Tribulation, only a select few, such as Hongjun, Yang Mei, Luohu, Wuxing, and Qiankun, managed to achieve it, and they were all beings who had previously been Chaos Demon Gods.

By the time of the Dragon Phoenix Great Tribulation, even powerful beings like the Ancestral Dragon, Primordial Phoenix, and Beginning Qilin needed to rely on immense fortune to bolster themselves, supplemented by comprehension of Laws, before they could break through to the Golden Immortal of the Origin realm.

However, by relying on the method of Severing Three Corpses, most of the three thousand guests of the Purple Firmament Palace have hope of reaching the Quasi-Saint realm.
