Lin Tian smiled. "Although I won't guide you directly within your consciousness in the future, once I emerge in person, I can still do many things for you, fellow Daoist, and teach you face-to-face!"
Yunxiao felt reluctant to perform Corpse-Slaying and sever Lin Tian from herself, but this was a road she had to walk.
Without Corpse-Slaying, Yunxiao's magic power could not flow freely, and her comprehension of the laws would forever face an obstacle. A great boulder lay across her path; unless she moved it aside, she could never advance her magic power or her mastery of the laws.
The difference between slaying one corpse and slaying two was enormous.
Sensing Yunxiao's reluctance, Lin Tian hurriedly said, "When others perform Corpse-Slaying, their good, evil, and self refuse to leave, yet you actually can't bear to sever yours! Fellow Daoist, you must walk this road sooner or later. With a great battle underway, the sooner you slay your corpse, the sooner you comprehend the Dao. Besides, this isn't a parting in life and death. Later, I'll guide you in slaying your Self Corpse too!"
"Very well. I was being foolishly rigid. Thank you for your guidance, fellow Daoist. I, Yunxiao, am truly blessed by Heaven to have your help! Then I shall slay my corpse!"
Lin Tian nodded. "Good. Then I shall leave! Remember to give me the Daoist name Lin Tian after you slay your corpse!"
Yunxiao suddenly said, "Fellow Daoist, after the Corpse-Slaying, could you avoid taking on a terribly evil appearance?"
Lin Tian laughed heartily. "Of course. I understand!"
What did an evil corpse represent? The darkness within a person's heart. Just look at the mighty figures of the Primordial World: they all displayed their good corpses, looking righteous and dignified, but none would reveal their evil
