Dao Ancestor Hongjun was indeed an unimaginable genius in cultivation. His comprehension and talent were absolutely top-notch in the Primordial World. In addition, after merging with the Heavenly Dao, he reached the true Great Dao Realm realm. The New Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method he created was flawless.
In an instant, those powerful beings from the Primordial World went mad, plundering the Innate Spiritual Treasure from others to use for their own cultivation of the New Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method.
Because of the opposition of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Heavenly Dao could not form a powerful trend, and the suppression of many powerful beings in the Primordial World was reduced to a freezing point.
In addition, the power of the New Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method caused slaughter to appear everywhere in the Primordial World in an instant, and there was even a strong sense that a Immeasurable Tribulation was about to arrive.
This also reveals the sinister intention behind Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method: to use this method to lure powerful beings in the Primordial World into fighting and vying for power, thus accelerating the birth of the Immeasurable Tribulation.
Most importantly, Dao Ancestor Hongjun concealed the core of the Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method.
The Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method does not mean that one can attain enlightenment simply by severing the three corpses; in the end, one must reunite the three corpses.
To achieve the unification of the three corpses, the three Innate Spiritual Treasure used to sever the corpse must originate from the same source.
The spiritual treasures used by Dao Ancestor Hongjun to sever his corpse were three fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation. The initial intention of the Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method was merely to repair and fuse the Jade Disc of Creation, and then, on this basis, the complete Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method was created.
However, Innate Spiritual Treasure that originate from the same source are extremely rare in the world, and the number of people who can ultimately succeed in cultivating this method of attaining enlightenment is extremely limited.
Moreover, the power of the Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method depends entirely on the Innate Spiritual Treasure used to sever the corpses. The more powerful the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the more powerful the three corpse incarnations will be.
In fact, the most suitable items for severing the three corpses in the Primordial World are the Three Treasures of Creation, namely the Chaos Bell, the Taiji Diagram, and the Pangu Banner. These three can be fused together and restored to create the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe through the Method of Severing the Three Corpses.
While it's impossible to truly recreate the complete version of the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe, at least Issei of its power can be reproduced.
Unfortunately, the Chaos Bell was shattered during the Great War of the Wu and Demons and its whereabouts are now unknown. The remaining Pangu Banner and Taiji Diagram are also in the hands of Heavenly Venerable of Primordial Beginning and Dao De Tianzun respectively. No one has the ability to snatch the Three Treasures of Creation from the two Sage.
Therefore, the Severing the Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method to attain enlightenment" is, to put it bluntly, a dead end and is not suitable for widespread dissemination.
Even when the Dao De Tianzun and the Jieyin the Three Corpses severed their three corpses, they could not attain enlightenment through this method. In the end, they had to rely on merit to overcome the final hurdle and become Heavenly Dao Sage.
Knowing the flaws in the Severing the Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method, Wang Hao didn't hesitate and immediately transmitted it. In an instant, it was as if many powerful beings who were fighting and vying for power in the Primordial World had been doused with a mixture of ice water, leaving them feeling thoroughly chilled and exhilarated.
Anyone who can cultivate to this level is not stupid. Reflecting on the enlightenment process of the six Sage, it is found that they all used merit. In particular, the Three Pure Ones used the merit of establishing their religion to draw upon their own merit of Heaven-Opening and thus attain enlightenment.
The Two Sages of the West also made great vows and attained enlightenment through their abilities, while the Saint Nuwa attained enlightenment purely through her merits.
Upon reflection, many powerful beings were horrified to discover that, apart from Dao Ancestor Hongjun, no one had actually Proving the Dao by Severing Three Corpses —it was a dead end!
Even if they were able to obtain Innate Spiritual Treasure and sever their three corpses, they would still be unable to take the final step if they could not complete the fusion. Facing Sage, they would still be an ant, at most a stronger ant.
The reason why the six Sage were able to attain sainthood was not primarily due to their merits, but more importantly, to the Primordial Violet Qi.
Of the seven streams of Primordial Violet Qi that Dao Ancestor Hongjun presented, Six Paths led to the creation of the current Six Saints. The last stream of Primordial Violet Qi was also shattered, which in turn formed the Dao Fruit of the Three Sovereigns Five Emperors of the Human Clan.
This is tantamount to saying that the hope of Proving the Dao by Severing Three Corpses has been completely extinguished!
The powerful beings of the Primordial World, plunged into despair, harbored deep resentment towards Dao Ancestor Hongjun who had passed down the Severing the Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method. This hatred for the destruction of the Dao was irreconcilable!
The Six Saints did not react at all, because they had already discovered the fatal flaw of the Severing the Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method when they were proving their Dao.
The two Sage, Dao De Tianzun and Jieyin, who had the highest cultivation levels, had also speculated about the fusion of the three corpses. The news released by Wang Hao was merely a confirmation of their conjecture.
Although they felt the same resentment towards Dao Ancestor Hongjun, they were also well aware that Dao Ancestor Hongjun's power was beyond their ability to contend with. The wisest course of action now was to swallow their anger, secretly improve themselves, and wait for an opportunity.
Not long after, Wang Hao's new method 2.0 was freshly released. Although its power was somewhat inferior to Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Severing the Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method after it was completed, it was superior in that it could truly prove the Dao. Most importantly, it did not require external objects such as Innate Spiritual Treasure, but only cultivated the self, making it more suitable for popularization.
In a short time, more powerful beings from the Primordial World era began to cultivate Wang Hao's new method.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun was furious about Wang Hao revealing the biggest flaw in the Severing the Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method. If it weren't for the restraint of the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Wilderness, he would have personally slapped Wang Hao to death.
Realizing that the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Wilderness was blocking his way, he could do nothing to Wang Hao, and even the Six Saints began to outwardly comply with his orders but inwardly defy them.
Ultimately, Dao Ancestor Hongjun further refined the Severing the Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method to attain enlightenment, striving to eliminate that fatal flaw.
It must be said that Dao Ancestor Hongjun truly deserves to be called a genius of cultivation. With the help of the Jade Disc of Creation, he quickly perfected the fatal flaw of the Severing the Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method, and even enhanced its power.
The latest Severing the Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method, as revealed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, has overjoyed the powerful beings of the Primordial World who were originally unwilling to accept it. They immediately revised the latest version of the Severing the Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method.
After all, not everyone can be so ruthless as to destroy the three corpses they have severed. Most of the powerful beings in the Primordial World are taking a wait-and-see approach, planning to go with whichever one has a promising future.
Wang Hao did not attempt to perfect a stronger version of the latest version of Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Severing the Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method. After all, his talent was far inferior to that of Dao Ancestor Hongjun. He had the system's Dao Comprehension Function that boosted his comprehension tenfold, but Dao Ancestor Hongjun had the even stronger Jade Disc of Creation!
Therefore, it's impossible to win in a quality competition. Since we can't break through in quality, we should focus on quantity.
Drawing upon his boundless imagination as a new generation of well-rounded individuals, Wang Hao, based on the new law 2.0 and using his wild imagination as a framework, has devised numerous methods for attaining enlightenment, showing a strong potential to recreate the Three Thousand Great Dao.
Such behavior may seem weak, but in reality, his main purpose in challenging Dao Ancestor Hongjun was to thwart the latter's conspiracy regarding the Severing the Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method. As long as the spread and number of practitioners of the Severing the Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method were suppressed and gradually eliminated, Hongjun's plans in this regard would inevitably collapse.
Even if it cannot truly eliminate them, it can greatly reduce the number of people practicing the Severing the Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method, thus achieving the same goal of thwarting Hongjun's conspiracy.
Therefore, Dao Ancestor Hongjun in the Purple Cloud Palace went berserk, his old face as black as the bottom of a pot.
Although the methods of proving the Dao created by Wang Hao were not as good as his Severing the Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method, they were more targeted, and most cultivators could find a method of proving the Dao that suited them.
Even if this kind of Dao-proving method that suits oneself is not stronger than the Severing the Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method, it is not much different.
Most importantly, the cultivation conditions for these various methods of attaining enlightenment are very low; at least they do not require powerful Innate Spiritual Treasure, making them far more universal than the Severing the Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method.
After all, the foundation of the Severing the Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method is the Innate Spiritual Treasure, which is also the core of his plan. The number of Innate Spiritual Treasure is extremely limited; there are only 129,600 Innate Spiritual Treasure in the entire Primordial World.
This number sounds like a lot, but compared to the powerful beings in the Primordial World, it's just a drop in the ocean; it's far from enough to provide one for everyone.
This was only recently after the Great Tribulation of the Wu and Demons, when most of the powerful figures had perished. New powerful figures had not yet truly grown up. Once a new generation of powerful figures emerges, Innate Spiritual Treasure will become even more scarce.
This time, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was truly at a loss, and the carefully laid out strategy in this regard was basically crumbling.
" Master Hao, I admit my talent is far inferior to yours, but when it comes to imagination, I'm miles ahead of you!"
Seeing that Dao Ancestor Hongjun hadn't updated the Severing the Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method for Jiujiu, Wang Hao chuckled coldly, knowing that the old fellow had run out of tricks in this area.
Of course, the main reason he was able to win was that Dao Ancestor Hongjun was too ambitious in this regard, which left great limitations on the Severing the Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method, which allowed Wang Hao to take advantage of the loophole.
At the same time, the Six Saints were also searching for methods that suited them among the methods of enlightenment that Wang Hao had devised, in order to change their own foundations.
After all, the Severing the Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method is too much of a trap. Even if they find three compatible Innate Spiritual Treasure and complete the final fusion, there's no guarantee that the Dao Ancestor Hongjun won't leave an even bigger pitfall for them to fall into.
Therefore, the best approach is to change one's own foundation and completely erase any traces of the " Severing the Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method. Only in this way can the root cause be addressed.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Wilderness had a rare disagreement with Dao Ancestor Hongjun, making it impossible for them to gather a powerful force to suppress the Six Saints, thus allowing them to take the opportunity to change their foundation.
Otherwise, in the past, when they took action, they would have been detected by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who would have had plenty of ways to stop them.
Ultimately, the Six Saints were no less intelligent than Dao Ancestor Hongjun; the only thing they lacked was an aid similar to the Jade Disc of Creation, a divine artifact of Creation.
Seeing the subtle actions of the Six Saints, Dao Ancestor Hongjun in the Purple Cloud Palace was not angered. Instead, he regained his composure and finally closed his eyes to cultivate.
He laid out countless contingency plans in the Primordial World, Severing the Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method was just one of the better ones.
It's a pity that this path was abandoned, but the loss isn't too great, and the final outcome won't change in the slightest.
Without the restraint of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Wilderness once again gathered great power, which, though not overwhelming, prompted many powerful beings in the Primordial World to rely on His and Wang Hao's will to continue setting up the unfinished Primordial Wilderness Grand Formation.
Because the Severing the Three Corpses Dao Attainment Method has been almost eliminated, many Primordial World beings in the prehistoric world, although still very envious and eager for Innate Spiritual Treasure, at most use them as tools to assist their own cultivation and combat.
They could refine such artifacts into their own acquired Acquired Spirit Treasure, which would be even more compatible with them.
As a result, many powerful beings no longer had the morbid enthusiasm for Innate Spiritual Treasure as before, and they all responded to the plan of Heaven and Wang Hao, integrating them into the Primordial Wilderness Grand Formation according to the requirements of the array base.
