"You are..."
The princess had never been so vigilant. She had heard of these so-called ultimate ancient forces, which were rumored to have controlled the world for billions of years. Such forces must have very terrifying members, and she had never underestimated them.
But are all these random people who appear now really this powerful?
If that's the case, do the Great Jin or the Human Race have any hope of winning?
"Your Highness, the Eldest Princess," the other person bowed to the Eldest Princess.
The ceremony was quite unique, but the princess had heard of it. Some wandering Daoist priests often used this kind of kowtow, and it was said that Daoists had long ago used this kind of etiquette to travel the world.
However, Daoist doctrines are not very easy to attract believers in any country, which is different from Buddhist School in the past. Buddhist School talks about the afterlife, while Daoism focuses on cultivating this life.
If you can't succeed, it's because you're not talented enough, while others can succeed because it's fate. Such an outcome is too cruel. Although this is true, there are only a few talented people in the world, while the majority are not talented. It is painful for most people to admit that they are just ordinary people and that no matter how hard they try, they can't change their lives.
How could such doctrines possibly attract followers?
She had been curious for a long time about how a religion like Daoism could survive for so long. No matter the era, there would always be wandering Daoist priests who believed in the ethereal legends of Daoist School.
"How should I address you?"
"This humble Yunyue," the nun said with a slight smile.
"You look exactly like Ziyue, and you're also named Yunyue. Is it a coincidence or something else?" the princess asked directly.
"It's certainly not a coincidence." The other party laughed, " Ziyue is me, Yunyue is also me. There's a Daoist method that Your Highness may not have heard of."
" Severing the Three Corpses!"
The King of Qin, standing to the side, coldly took over the conversation.
"It seems King of Qin Highness has indeed received quite a few memories." Yunyue looked at the other party and smiled gently. Unlike Ziyue's aloofness, although Yunyue looked the same as the other party, her temperament was incomparably noble, truly like the moon on the edge of the clouds.
" Severing the Three Corpses?" The eldest princess frowned. "Is it the same method as Kagura's?"
She had heard King Xiang say that the Kagura they had seen was not the real Kagura, but rather the demonic thought within Kagura, the Demon Buddha Kagura, which was the manifestation of the true Kagura's Heart Demon!
"There are some similarities, but also significant differences," Yunyue said softly. "The supernatural power of Buddhism is to completely eliminate one's desires and evil thoughts from oneself, thus becoming a true Buddha without desires or thoughts. The demonic body, on the other hand, is desire itself. In the end, the two will inevitably clash. Whether the Buddha will convert the demon, or the demon will devour the Buddha, depends on their respective fates."
"Then what's different about yours?" the princess asked with a smile.
"The Daoist practice of 'Severing the Three Corpses ' involves cutting away evil and good thoughts from the body, then allowing the true self to cultivate in purity. The two thoughts, good and evil, each cultivate independently, until the three bodies unite as one, and finally, one attains the Great Dao!"
"Interesting." The eldest princess chuckled. "The Daoist priest is quite the master of ambiguity. What's the difference between him and the Buddhist School? In the end, it's all about skill, and then seeing who devours whom."
"It's different." Yunyue shook her head. "Although the Three Pure Ones are separate, they are still one. No one will devour the others. Even if they are one, they are still independent. It's just that whoever has the greatest Dao will ultimately become the main body."
"Is that so?" The princess's eyes lit up, and she asked curiously, "Doesn't that mean it's truly divided into three? Suddenly you have the power of three more strong individuals?"
If this is true, it is indeed a good method. What does the Great Jin lack right now?
What's lacking are King Level experts. If we could find this method, allowing ourselves and the Emperor to split into three, and then diligently nurture two more who are about to break through, wouldn't the Great Jin have ten King Level experts in a very short time?
"Indeed, it has that effect." Yunyue smiled. "The Daoist School is a sect of hermits. When it comes to competing for resources in the world, it is at a disadvantage. Back then, it didn't have enough manpower to support this force. Compared to the three major forces of Buddhist School, the Heavenly Court, and the Demon Domain, the Daoist School didn't have a continuous stream of outsiders. If it didn't use this technique, it would be difficult to compete with the three of them."
"Oh? Is that so?" The eldest princess stepped forward, her eyes gleaming. "In that case, would the Daoist School be willing to impart this method? You should also know what we lack right now. As allies, if we provide troops, shouldn't you also show some sincerity?"
"That makes sense," Yunyue said with a smile. "We are not stingy with this method if it can help the Great Jin, but given the current situation, neither Your Highness nor His Majesty in the capital needs it for the time being."
"Why?" The eldest princess narrowed her eyes. If this method was real, it would be the best way to solve the current shortage of top-tier combat power in the Great Jin. She had to get her hands on it no matter what!
"Because the Great Jin cannot do without the two of you!"
"What's the meaning?"
"The method of Severing the Three Corpses involves severing the Good Corpse, the Evil Corpse, and the true self. Many people believe the true self is the main body, but in reality, it isn't," Yunyue said softly. "The good and evil corpses will inherit the power of the main body, while the true self will Samsara and start over!"
Princess Eldest: "."
What kind of weird magic is this?
Samsara of the original body? Inheritance of power by a clone?
That's bullshit, isn't it?
"What is the significance of this method?" King of Qin asked, frowning.
"It's just a risky method, like snatching chestnuts from the fire," Yunyue said softly. "If the original self's power is equal to the original self's, then there is absolute control, but one must start from scratch. The two personalities of the good and evil corpses are extremely short-lived, mutually restraining each other. Once the original self can grow and return, it can turn one person into three equally powerful individuals at once. This is the advantage of this method. The disadvantage is that once the balance is broken, and the Evil Corpse gains the upper hand, or rather, the Evil Corpse devours the Good Corpse, then the situation will be completely different!"
"This method is truly amazing." The princess was momentarily speechless. To be honest, if this method had appeared twenty years earlier, she would have used it without hesitation.
But now, the pillars of the entire Great Jin are her and her younger brother. How could the two siblings dare to reincarnate again?
"I see." The King of Qin nodded immediately. "I wonder if you are the Good Corpse or Evil Corpse form of Ziyue?"
"After awakening, the Evil Corpse Hongyue went to find its original body." Yunyue's expression darkened slightly at this point. "Once it devours the original body and disrupts the balance of good and evil, the consequences could be severe. Ziyue is one of the main pillars of the Daoist School, and one of the Venerable!"
King of Qin: "."
--
Who are you?
Inside the capital, after Chen Qing and the emperor returned to the palace, they also saw someone.
Dressed in white with a natural face, she was incredibly beautiful, even to Ziyue, who looked exactly like her, she seemed worlds apart!
"Your Majesty, Your Highness King of Qin?" The woman bowed to both Chen Qing and the Emperor simultaneously. "My name is Yunyue."
