Treasures Had Spirits, the Three Pure Ones Broke Through

At that moment, the Three Pure Ones were frantic. They had never imagined that breaking through beyond the Daluo Golden Immortal realm would be so perilous.

They had tried to force a breakthrough with their own power, yet success continued to elude them.

They were also at a loss as to how they should walk the path beyond Great Luo, which had led to their earlier predicament.

They were clearly in the midst of breaking through, stopped before a barrier as thin as window paper, yet no matter what they did, they could not shatter their shackles.

Otherwise, how could they have failed to hear such a tremendous commotion on Buzhou Mountain?

But what were they to do now? Their current situation left them deeply troubled.

Just then, at this critical moment—

Wang Shi stood motionless in the air and began transmitting his voice to the Three Pure Ones.

"My Three Masters, this humble disciple possesses a method for breaking through to the Quasi-Saint realm. Please hear me out."

The Three Pure Ones were stunned.

Their disciple had only just assumed human form, yet he actually knew a method for breaking through to the Quasi-Saint realm.

After all, the Quasi-Saint realm was merely something spoken of in the Primordial World. No one had truly reached it.

Sect Master Tongtian transmitted his voice in bewilderment.

"My disciple, how could you possibly possess a method for breaking through to the Quasi-Saint realm? This is no matter to joke about."

Wang Shi gave a bitter laugh. Fire was already singeing their eyebrows, yet they were still worried that his method was false.

"Please do not doubt me, my Three Masters. We share glory and ruin alike. I would never harm you."

"Besides, all the mighty figures gathered around us are watching you make fools of yourselves. If you abandon your efforts halfway now, do you want to become a laughingstock?"

Wang Shi's words were sound and well reasoned, making them truly convincing.

Sect Master Tongtian shook his head helplessly.

"Very well. Since you say you have such a method, it surely cannot be far wrong. Tell us at once."

Wang Shi's gaze immediately grew firmer.

At this point, he no longer cared whether he would be divulging a secret.

He began quietly transmitting his voice.

"Everyone in the Primordial World knows that above the Daluo Golden Immortal realm lies the Quasi-Saint realm, but no method of breaking through has been known."

"A mighty figure once broke through on Buzhou Mountain. By a stroke of luck, I obtained his method for reaching the Quasi-Saint realm."

"This method is called the Method of Severing the Three Corpses to Attain Sainthood."

"We cultivators have Three Corpses within us: the Good Corpse, the Evil Corpse, and the Self Corpse."

"To sever the Three Corpses is to sever the obsessions within our bodies, using this to achieve a breakthrough."

"Severing the Three Corpses requires treasures to serve as vessels. The higher the grade of those treasures, the greater your strength will be when you become Quasi-Saints..."

He explained the Method of Severing the Three Corpses in detail.

The Three Pure Ones listened, utterly entranced.

"Marvelous! Truly profound!"

"To think our disciple encountered such a tremendous opportunity and obtained so exquisite a method of attaining sainthood! I am certain that once we sever the Three Corpses, we will not be far from attaining the Dao."

"What a wondrous Dao method! My disciple, do you know who this mighty figure was? Why has his name never been heard in the Primordial World?"

Wang Shi grumbled inwardly. How could he know who that nonexistent mighty figure was? He had made the man up on the spot.

But now that the Three Pure Ones had questions, he could only fob them off.

"That man possessed unfathomable strength and was exceedingly mysterious. He left no name behind. All I know is that his true form was an innate willow tree that had gained sentience. From what I observed, he might even have possessed a chaos fiendgod's Dao body."

The Three Pure Ones' hearts jolted.

An innate willow tree, a chaos fiendgod's Dao body—it all fit. It had to be Great Immortal Yang Mei from ancient times.

Only an existence like him could possess such strength.

They no longer hesitated.

They began condensing their Evil Corpses.

The so-called Three Corpses were the obsessions within the body.

Since evil thoughts were the easiest to condense, they naturally chose to sever their Evil Corpses first.

The three of them resisted the Lightning Tribulation filling the sky.

At the same time, they condensed the Evil Corpses within their bodies.

Meanwhile, after undergoing the tempering of the Lightning Tribulation, the three treasures gradually took shape as well.

The jade-red blossom became the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.

The white lotus root formed the Taiyi Whisk.

The lotus leaf transformed into the Qingping Sword.

Most importantly, the auras of the three treasures matched those of the Three Pure Ones, allowing them to acknowledge their masters with extraordinary ease.

The mighty figures surrounding them sighed.

"What a pity, what a terrible pity! Such Supreme Treasures have actually acknowledged masters."

"Our fortune is insufficient. We cannot obtain these Supreme Treasures."

"As expected of the Three Pure Ones Daoists! They all possess tremendous fortune. Even during a breakthrough, treasures deliver themselves to their doorstep."

Just then, the Three Pure Ones finally finished condensing their Evil Corpses.

An Evil Corpse separated from each of their bodies.

The two sides immediately clashed in fierce battle.

The sight left everyone dumbstruck.

Amid the Lightning Tribulation filling the sky, they had actually begun fighting themselves. Had they gone mad?

After a fierce struggle, both sides were covered in wounds. In the end, however, the original bodies proved superior and suppressed the Evil Corpses.

The three recalled Wang Shi's instructions. The key was to seal their Evil Corpses within treasures and refine them completely.

They looked toward the supreme-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures that had delivered themselves to their side.

"Three Treasures Jade Ruyi!"

"Taiyi Whisk!"

"Qingping Sword!"

"Suppress!"

In the blink of an eye, their Evil Corpses were suppressed, and their cultivation soared by leaps and bounds. They broke through instantly.

After the three of them broke through, the Lightning Tribulation filling the sky gradually dispersed as well.

Boundless Merit descended from heaven and earth, gathering around each of them.

The sight made everyone's eyes burn with envy.

So much Merit! Who knew how much fortune it could help them gather?

The Three Pure Ones withdrew their divine powers.

They landed steadily around Wang Shi.

The way they looked at Wang Shi was so covetous that they seemed ready to swallow him whole.

The gratitude in their eyes defied words.

"Congratulations, my Three Masters, on successfully reaching the Quasi-Saint realm."

The three of them had truly stolen the limelight this time.

What puzzled Wang Shi, however, was that revealing the Method of Severing the Three Corpses had not caused any upheaval in heaven and earth.

Could many mighty figures have already reached the Quasi-Saint realm, but simply never spread this method far and wide?

His conjecture was not without possibility.

After all, most of these mighty figures cherished even their worn-out brooms as treasures, jealously guarding what they possessed.

Before Hongjun began preaching the Dao, for instance, he could hardly have gone around teaching everyone the Method of Severing the Three Corpses.

It was only after attaining sainthood, when he wished to advance further, that he delivered his three sermons.

Only after gaining the Heavenly Dao's recognition did he become the voice of the Primordial World, merge with the Heavenly Dao, and become an existence above Saints.

A Saint could be called a primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.

Above Saints stood primordial limitless Daluo Golden Immortals.

That was a true Dao fruit, far beyond imagination.

Hongjun had preached the Dao to obtain that Dao fruit as well.

Everything that happened in the Primordial World was bound up in entanglements of self-interest.

Wang Shi shook his head. These were not matters he could interfere with now.

The Three Pure Ones chuckled.

"Good disciple, without your help, how could we have broken through so easily? You deserve tremendous credit."

At that moment, the many mighty figures of the Primordial World stepped forward.

"Congratulations to the Three Pure Ones Daoists on your successful breakthrough! What a joyous occasion!"

"To think the Quasi-Saint realm above Daluo Golden Immortals truly exists! Might the Three Pure Ones Daoists be willing to impart this method?"

"As the saying goes, those who attain mastery may serve as teachers. We are willing to take the Three Pure Ones Daoists as our masters. We ask only that you impart this method."
