While Xiao Yun's true body cultivated, his avatar Li Yun, far away in the Primordial World, was not idle either.
Li Yun found a small island amid the vast East Sea and entered seclusion.
His good and evil corpses were also there.
As for Zhao Youji's avatar, fearing that Hongjun might have left some hidden contingency within it, Li Yun had left it at Jade Wanderer Palace.
At this moment, Li Yun looked at the good and evil corpses before him and pondered what his obsession was.
If he could sever his obsession corpse, then once the three corpses merged into one, attaining sainthood would follow as naturally as water flowing downhill.
Then, after merging with his true body, he could enter the World Lord level in one stroke.
At that point, he would no longer need to fear Ancestor Yang Mei.
But the obsession corpse was the hardest to sever.
Think of Zhenyuan the Great, Styx Ancestor, and Demon Master Kunpeng—after cultivating for countless years, had they not still failed to sever their obsession corpses?
An obsession was an obsession precisely because it was a person's pursuit and persistence, something they would not readily abandon.
Therefore, even when one clearly knew what one's obsession was, it could still be difficult to let go.
It was like a reader following updates. He knew perfectly well that if he simply put the book aside for a while and waited until it was finished before reading it, he would not have to wait so painstakingly every day. Yet he just could not resist following the updates.
The Buddhist School spoke of laying down the butcher's blade and becoming a Buddha on the spot, but laying down the blade in one's hand was easy; laying down the blade in one's heart was hard.
