Retreating Was Actually Moving Forward

Above the void, Zhang Jian could now clearly sense the changes in himself after severing his good corpse.

His Dao heart, Primordial Spirit, eternal will, Dao body, and everything else had become even more lucid and ethereal. His Dao heart had drawn closer still to the source of Heaven and Earth's Great Dao.

He could also sense that the Three Corpses Severance Technique itself was a secret method of the Heavenly Dao.

Its ultimate goal was to pursue union with the Dao.

Yet Zhang Jian had never intended to unite with the Dao. He merely wished to use this body close to the Dao to better comprehend the various sources of Heaven and Earth's Great Dao.

"It seems that whether cultivation or battle, everything has become much more convenient. Being close to the Dao allows me to better borrow the power of Heaven and Earth's Great Dao!"

Zhang Jian pondered inwardly. His vast eternal will flowed out from around his body and merged into the true forms of mountain ranges, rivers, and peaks.

Throughout this process, Zhang Jian discovered that his deduction abilities had improved greatly.

After all, he had gained a good corpse, which was equivalent to gaining another helper at the level of a Dao Venerable of the Other Shore.

A good corpse was completely unlike ordinary incarnations. It likewise possessed the ability to innovate and deduce independently.

It was practically a completely independent individual!

Yet during this process, Zhang Jian also realized that his advantage was disappearing.

More and more innate divine objects and treasures of Heaven and Earth had gradually been found by the various Dao Masters and Divine Emperors over the past two thousand years.

And there was also Eastern Emperor Taiyi lurking in the shadows.

There were not many opportunities left for him.
