Thus, Nascent Soul Dao Proving was also worth considering. He could try to explore it.
As for Dao Proving Through Killing, which seemed best suited to him, he could forget about it. In the Primordial World, it was practically impossible to achieve.
There was also Dao Proving Through World Creation. This method of proving the Dao seemed to overlap with the Dao Proving Through Strength that Hongjun had mentioned.
But what exactly Dao Proving Through Strength was, even Hongjun himself probably had not figured out yet.
After all, using Pangu as an example, with strength like Pangu's, he had no need for any Dao Proving Through Strength.
Even if it was Dao Proving Through Strength, what one proved would be the Great Dao, not Hunyuan, much less sainthood.
Therefore, setting Dao Proving Through Strength aside, he returned to Dao Proving Through World Creation.
This method of proving the Dao was worth considering. Of course, the first possibility to rule out was directly creating a world within chaos.
That was a dead end. Even Pangu could not hold on, so who could possibly succeed?
However, there was one absolutely viable method: creating a world within the Chaos Pearl.
That could work, but the prerequisite was possessing the Chaos Pearl.
Otherwise, he would need all manner of opportunities to create something similar to the Chaos Pearl.
For example, if the Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls were fused into one, a world could also form within them.
There were even rumors that the Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls were actually formed from fragments of the Chaos Pearl.
Then there were some bold and exceptionally capable people who directly created worlds within their own bodies.
That was even more unimaginable. At least with Minghe's current cultivation, he absolutely could not attempt it lightly.
Still, he could consider it and try to explore it.
There were countless methods and countless Daos in the world. Every method, every Great Dao, could lead to Dao Proving.
Since Hongjun could create Dao Proving Through Severing Three Corpses, why could he not create a path of Dao Proving that belonged to him alone?
Minghe refused to admit defeat! Not only would he, a transmigrator, refuse to admit defeat—even the original Minghe had never admitted defeat.
How could he admit defeat?
In this life, with the system in hand, he would definitely discover a path to Dao Proving.
"Moreover, aside from all these varied methods of proving the Dao, there is another that points directly to the essence: Dao Proving Through Laws."
Minghe knew that there was already a predecessor. Ancestor Yang Mei, the reincarnation of the Space Demon God, had relied on Dao Proving Through Laws to become the Primordial World's true first Dao Prover.
He was also the first Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal, rather than some so-called saint.
In truth, sainthood was not a cultivation realm, but a rank bestowed by the Heavenly Dao.
A saint's true realm was the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Yang Mei had proved the Dao before Hongjun. Even after Hongjun proved the Dao, he encountered Yang Mei.
The two fought, and Hongjun exhausted every method at his disposal, including all the treasures in his possession, only for Yang Mei to collect them all with Space Divine Abilities.
However, Yang Mei held no attachment to the Primordial World. Though he defeated Hongjun, he returned all of Hongjun's treasures to him.
With a sweep of his sleeve, he finally left the Primordial World and entered chaos.
Dao Proving Through Laws meant comprehending the laws corresponding to the Great Dao and thereby grasping the Great Dao's essence.
Once one completely mastered the Great Dao's myriad transformations, Dao Proving would follow naturally.
This was undoubtedly the most orthodox method of proving the Dao. At the same time, however, it was also extremely difficult.
The Great Dao possessed infinite transformations and changed at every moment. How could one comprehend its fundamental changes and grasp its essence?
It was far too difficult. Only incomparable comprehension and perseverance could make it possible.
After all, he was not Yang Mei. Yang Mei was the reincarnation of the Space Demon God and inherently possessed the deepest understanding of the Space Dao.
For him, comprehending the Space Law, reclaiming mastery over the Way of Space, and using it to prove Hunyuan was like recovering his own instincts.
Minghe shook his head and calmed himself, the thoughts in his heart gradually settling as well.
There was no use thinking too much.
For now, he should first steadily and solidly raise his cultivation step by step.
With that thought in mind, Minghe once again entered secluded cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, another hundred thousand years passed. On this day, above the Blood God Palace deep within the Netherworld Blood Sea, surging blood light suddenly shone forth as boundless blood qi boiled.
Within the Blood God Palace, Minghe's entire body was shrouded in blood qi as he sat cross-legged atop the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus.
The Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus blazed fiercely, burning away the impurities within the blood qi and reducing all baleful qi to ash.
At last, the purified blood qi poured into Minghe's body.
Minghe's eyes remained tightly shut. From the countless acupoints across his body, blood light seemed to erupt.
Enveloped in that blood light, he appeared both divine and demonic.
This was Minghe's cultivation technique, the Blood Scripture. It allowed him to cultivate by drawing upon the blood qi of the Blood Sea.
This continued for a long while. Then, suddenly, Minghe's eyes flew open.
His aura paused, then rose in successive surges, sweeping outward like an explosion of qi.
In an instant, the entire Blood God Palace seemed on the verge of being blasted apart by Minghe's aura.
Yet at that very moment, the aura around Minghe suddenly halted again. He opened his eyes, and his aura rapidly withdrew like a receding tide.
As all of his aura was restrained, the various phenomena gradually vanished as well.
With a thought, Minghe changed into a black robe. He now seemed to have returned to simplicity, with not the slightest trace of aura leaking out.
"Whew!"
Minghe let out a long breath. After these hundred thousand years of secluded cultivation, he had finally broken through.
He had advanced from the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm to the middle stage. His strength had increased tremendously once more.
Moreover, relying on his own talent, Minghe had gradually comprehended some of the mysteries of Great Dao laws.
There were two laws in total: the Law of Blood and the Law of Slaughter.
These two laws were the most compatible with him. It was only natural that Minghe would be able to comprehend them.
After comprehending the laws, Minghe naturally broke through.
It could be said that laws truly provided an enormous boost to Minghe. By wielding them, the strength he could unleash was many times greater than before he had comprehended any laws.
And this was only because Minghe had grasped the barest surface of the two laws. Once his comprehension deepened and he mastered more of them, his strength would continue to rise.
"Is Dao Proving Through Laws truly the most correct path?" Minghe muttered.
Immersing himself in his comprehension of laws had left him almost intoxicated.
This made Minghe yearn even more for Dao Proving Through Laws. If he had the chance in the future, it would be best to prove the Dao through laws.
After all, there were countless methods of proving the Dao, yet those methods also differed in superiority.
For example, Hongjun's three methods of Dao Proving were divided into upper, middle, and lower grades.
Dao Proving Through Strength was the highest grade, Dao Proving Through Severing Three Corpses was the middle grade, and Dao Proving Through Merit was the lowest-grade method of proving the Dao.
In Minghe's view, among all methods of proving the Dao, Dao Proving Through Laws should be the most orthodox and the highest-grade path.
