Three Corpses Method

Within Chaos.

Endless chaotic energy raged.

Three thousand years passed, and the cultivation of the Innate Divine Saints had greatly improved.

They faced Chaos's ravages with far greater composure.

Before long.

They arrived at the Purple Cloud Palace.

They found their places and sat down.

Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi saw Di Jiang and the other Ancestral Witches and began transmitting their voices.

"Fellow Daoist Di Jiang! Fellow Daoists!"

Di Jiang nodded and transmitted back, "Fellow Daoists!"

Kunpeng also transmitted to Di Jiang, "Fellow Daoist Di Jiang! Thank you for last time!"

Di Jiang replied through voice transmission, "It was nothing!"

Jie Yin and Zhun Ti also arrived. The latter smiled and nodded at Hong Yun before transmitting his voice.

"Fellow Daoist Hong Yun! Thank you for your seat!"

The moment Hong Yun saw them, his eyes turned bloodshot. He rose to rebuke them furiously, but Zhen Yuanzi stopped him in time and transmitted his voice.

"Hong Yun! Don't!"

"This is Hongjun Sage's sacred ground, after all. Making a scene will do neither of us any good."

"Rest assured! This karmic debt will definitely be settled!"

Only then did Hong Yun calm down, though he continued glaring angrily at Jie Yin and Zhun Ti.

Jie Yin and Zhun Ti had no idea why Hong Yun was acting this way.

After thinking for a moment, they were immediately alarmed. They guessed that their ambush of Hong Yun had been exposed, and Jie Yin transmitted his voice.

"Junior Brother! Our matter has been exposed!"

"I'm afraid Hong Yun and the others couldn't have discovered it on their own."

Zhun Ti transmitted, "Senior Brother, you mean..."

Jie Yin transmitted, "That's right! Di Jiang must be meddling behind the scenes!"

Zhun Ti's expression shifted uncertainly as he transmitted as well.

"Di Jiang is meddling again!"

"The seat, and now the matter with Hong Yun!"

"He truly deserves death!"

Jie Yin could not conceal his killing intent either.

Di Jiang naturally noticed their expressions and sneered inwardly.

He had not even acted yet, and these two were already unable to keep themselves hidden.

After Ming He, Fuxi, and Nuwa arrived, they each offered Di Jiang a salute upon seeing him. The strong were worthy of their respect, and Di Jiang merely nodded calmly.

Then Di Jiang looked at Dijun and Taiyi, who were speeding over. His gaze held amused interest, yet a faint cold smile rested on his lips.

Those two crows actually dared to come.

When Dijun and Taiyi saw Di Jiang's gaze, their scalps went numb. Taiyi in particular bore even deeper resentment after having the Eastern Sovereign Bell taken from him.

The Three Pure Ones seated at the foremost positions suspected that the Ancestral Witches had been behind the robbery they had suffered, but they had no proof.

Their gazes merely kept examining the Ancestral Witches.

The Ancestral Witches sensed the Three Pure Ones' stares and guessed that it was because of the previous robbery. They found it amusing.

Among the Three Pure Ones, Yuan Shi not only thought of being robbed, but also remembered how Kunpeng had dared to contradict him in front of so many people.

His gaze immediately turned somewhat malicious as he looked at Kunpeng. Kunpeng's hair stood on end under Yuan Shi's stare, and he began to smile bitterly inwardly. It seems I've offended Yuan Shi.

The Purple Cloud Palace appeared calm, but hidden currents surged beneath the surface.

At that moment, Hongjun appeared before them. Everyone came back to their senses and hurriedly saluted him.

Hongjun was just about to begin his sermon when he suddenly sensed Di Jiang's aura. He was instantly startled, and his snowy-white beard trembled.

Di Jiang had become a Primordial Golden Immortal?

How was that possible?

Had he not yet explained the path of Quasi-Sages?

He had not even begun preaching!

The shackles of heaven and earth had yet to be opened!

Could this be Pangu's contingency plan?!

Stormy waves rose in Hongjun's heart.

He then secretly took out the Creation Jade Disc and began calculating.

Yet he rubbed the Creation Jade Disc until it practically smoked.

He still could not calculate anything.

Hongjun's expression grew solemn.

Why did it feel as though events were developing in a direction beyond his expectations?

I must merge with the Dao as soon as possible!

Unease filled Hongjun's heart. To avoid unforeseen changes, he had to begin merging with the Dao as quickly as possible.

Seeing that Hongjun remained silent, the Divine Saints could only sit quietly, though they were inwardly puzzled.

Haotian and Yaochi exchanged glances, wondering what was wrong with their master. Then Haotian softly prompted him.

"Master! Master..."

Hongjun came back to his senses and calmly said.

"Now, I shall begin the sermon!"

"This time, I shall speak of the path of Quasi-Sages! Quasi-Sages stand above the Great Firmament and below Sages!"

"With..."

At once, heavenly flowers fell in profusion, golden lotuses surged from the earth, boundless Dao resonance emerged, and golden Dao flowers condensed and drifted through the air...

Time passed, and gradually, two thousand five hundred years went by.

Hongjun stopped preaching.

The Divine Saints now understood what a Quasi-Sage was.

They were immersed in comprehension.

Yuan Shi of the Three Pure Ones asked excitedly.

"Sage! We now understand the principles of Quasi-Sages!"

"May I ask, Sage, how are we to break through to the Quasi-Sage realm?"

It was here!

The Divine Saints focused and began listening carefully.

They already knew what a Quasi-Sage was!

But Hongjun had yet to explain how to break through to the Quasi-Sage realm, or what methods there were for doing so!

Di Jiang watched with great interest.

Hongjun spoke calmly.

"There are three thousand Great Daos and countless methods of attaining the Dao, but most fall into four categories!"

"First, attain the Dao through laws! This can lead to the Primordial Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm. During the age of Chaos, the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods were like this. They were born wielding laws, able to use them at will. Pangu mastered the Law of Strength and split open heaven and earth."

When Hongjun mentioned Pangu, Di Jiang noticed a trace of fear and unwillingness flash deep within his eyes. Had Di Jiang not been watching closely, no one would have noticed.

"Second, attain the Dao through fortune! In the past, the dragon, phoenix, and qilin clans of the Primordial World stirred up the Immeasurable Calamity, fighting for fortune and seeking to become the common rulers of the world, ascending to Sagehood in one stroke!"

A bright light flickered in Dijun's eyes. Was this not the path he wished to pursue?

The dragon, phoenix, and qilin clans of the past had been foolish.

But he, Dijun, was not foolish!

"Third, perform immense meritorious deeds for the Primordial World and use merit to attain a Sage's position."

Upon hearing this, Nuwa inexplicably felt a faint stirring within her heart.

Fuxi noticed Nuwa's unusual reaction and transmitted his voice to ask her.

"Little sister! Are you all right?"

Nuwa shook her head and transmitted back.

"Elder Brother! I'm fine! It's just that I seem to have sensed something!"

Concern appeared in Fuxi's eyes.

At that moment, Hongjun paused after speaking of attaining Sagehood through merit.

Yuan Shi asked anxiously.

"May I ask, Sage! What of the fourth method of attaining the Dao?"

The other Divine Saints were curious as well.

Hongjun had only spoken of the first three, leaving out the fourth.

Hearing this, Hongjun looked at Yuan Shi and nodded approvingly inwardly. Yuan Shi was truly excellent at setting him up. His expression remained calm as he said.

"The fourth was created by me! It is called the Three Corpses Method!"

"This method can attain the Heavenly Dao Sage realm. One entrusts one's Primordial Spirit's true essence to the Heavenly Dao. So long as the Heavenly Dao endures, the Sage shall not die!"

The Divine Saints were instantly stunned.

One could actually entrust one's Primordial Spirit's true essence to the Heavenly Dao.

So long as the Heavenly Dao endured, the Sage would not die!

This was simply inconceivable!
