Hong Yun Takes a Master, Li Yi Plots for the Western Saint Position

Feeling the gazes of the four disciples below, Hongjun's heart did indeed ripple at first.

But he was, after all, a Peak Quasi-Saint who had lived from the chaos to the present. His mind was firm, and in the blink of an eye, he had thought of how to respond.

"Foolish!"

"The Three Corpses Severing Method is the path I walked myself. How could it be a dead end?"

As he spoke, Hongjun deliberately furrowed his brows.

"Have you listened to some of that Heaven-Earth Daoist's demonic nonsense?"

"You have all been deceived by that Heaven-Earth Daoist!"

"Ah, I had intended to tell you about this later, but now I shall explain everything to you."

"I have told you before that there are three paths to sainthood!"

"The first is to become a saint through laws, the second is through the Three Corpses Severing Method, and the last is through Heavenly Dao Merit!"

"In terms of combat power, the Law Dao ranks first, corpse severing second, and Heavenly Dao Merit last!"

"But do you know that the Law Dao is the path walked by the fiendgods born within chaos? Fiendgods are naturally suited to this path, yet even so, there were very few who attained sainthood in chaos!"

"Even with the talents of fiendgods, it was so difficult. Though you are Primordial Divine beings, do you think yourselves comparable to those fiendgods?"

The four below all fell somewhat silent at his words.

Seeing their silence, Hongjun wore a faint smile.

"Therefore, seeking sainthood through the Law Dao may seem powerful on the surface, but it is in truth a dead end!"

"Next, the Three Corpses Severing Method is a cultivation path I developed using supreme treasures. How could it be wrong? That Heaven-Earth Daoist does not understand this method. He merely saw the final Three Corpses Unity and concluded that the Spirit Treasures used in this method must share the same origin!"

"That claim is nothing more than his own baseless speculation! In truth, any kind of Spirit Treasure can achieve Three Corpses Unity!"

"Of course, when I taught you the Three Corpses Severing Method, I never believed you could attain the Dao through it!"

"It is not that the method is flawed, but that your aptitude is insufficient!"

Knowing that a haphazard explanation would more easily arouse their suspicions, Hongjun simply mixed one lie with nine truths, hiding the falsehood among the truth.

In any case, only he possessed the Three Corpses Severing Method. He had the final say in how it was explained!

As for failing to attain it? That was not because he had withheld anything, but because these disciples lacked the comprehension!

Hearing Hongjun's final words, the four were somewhat stunned.

There was nothing wrong with the method their teacher taught? But he also thought their aptitude was insufficient? Then why had he taught them this method at all?

Hongjun continued explaining.

"The key to your attaining sainthood lies in the final step!"

"Though your aptitude makes it difficult for you to achieve Three Corpses Unity through the Three Corpses Severing Method, it can still help the four of you quickly reach the realm of Peak Quasi-Saint!"
