Ming Wang Three Worlds Method

Purple Cloud Palace.

Chaotic qi surged as violently as ever, the ancient Dao palace standing tall and unmoving, unchanging through the ages.

Yet the moment Ming Xin stepped through the palace gates alongside the two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, the originally low and solemn atmosphere within the hall suddenly rippled with an invisible disturbance.

Countless gazes—more scorching, more complex, and harder to conceal their shock than before—converged like invisible spotlights, instantly locking onto that gray figure!

Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, Perfection!

How long had it been?!

At the East Sea Immortal Gathering, he had just entered the Zenith Heaven realm. Though his foundation was terrifying and his divine abilities bizarre, his cultivation level was still shallow. But now... how many years had passed?

In the Primordial World, time was immeasurable, but for great powers, a single seclusion or enlightenment could span tens of thousands of years. To go from just entering Zenith Heaven to the Perfection stage in such a short time?!

What terrifying cultivation speed was this?! What heaven-defying foundation and depth?!

That aura—flawlessly harmonious, deep as an abyss, faintly resonating with the laws of heaven and earth—could not be faked!

It even sent a tremor through the hearts of some ancient existences who had long reached Zenith Heaven Perfection!

The gazes of the Three Pure Ones fell upon him simultaneously. A faint ripple, barely perceptible, passed through Laozi's ancient, well-like eyes.

Primordial Lord of Heaven's pupils contracted slightly, the fingers gripping his jade ruyi turning pale. The regret and unwillingness in his heart—that "this child should have joined my Chan Sect"—grew ever stronger.

Lord of the Heavens raised an eyebrow, his battle intent flaring, but more than that, a sense of recognition for a "fellow Daoist" emerged.

Empress Nuwa's beautiful eyes shimmered with brilliance, her aura of creation stirring faintly. Fu Xi's divination fingers moved faster.

Di Jun and Tai Yi's faces darkened like water. Ming Xin's explosive cultivation growth posed a more direct threat to them.

East King Duke had long lost his earlier composure. His gaze wavered, and he dared not even meet Ming Xin's eyes.

Deep in Old Ancestor Ming He's blood-red pupils, greed and wariness intertwined. Hong Yun was simply amazed. Zhen Yuan Zi's expression turned grave.

As for those great powers who had once sneered at Ming Xin's origins in the Western Teachings or secretly envied him, their minds now churned like a storm, a mix of emotions!

"Zenith Heaven Perfection... how long has it been?!"

"The Dao Ancestor personally judged him as having a Sage's Demeanor... and it's this terrifying?!"

"Twelve-Petal Bloom... could he truly have the potential to reach the Primordial realm?!"

"Damn it! Why wasn't I the one to meet him first?! Why did it have to be those two paupers from the West!"

"The Western Teachings... with this child, their momentum is set; it can no longer be suppressed!"

Silent divine thoughts wove wildly through the hall, filled with shock, jealousy, regret, and even a trace of fear.

Jieyin and Zhunti took it all in. Beneath the sorrow and compassion on their saintly faces was a pride and exhilaration that nearly overflowed!

Their backs were straighter than ever!

Ming Xin seemed oblivious to all of this. His expression was calm as still water. He followed his masters to the Western seat and sat down serenely, eyes watching his nose, nose watching his heart, like an old monk in deep meditation.

Only the naturally emanating, undeniable aura of perfected Dao around him silently proclaimed his presence.

In this strange and oppressive atmosphere, space above the Dao platform rippled faintly, and the figure of Dao Ancestor Hongjun appeared without a sound.

His indifferent gaze swept across the hall, pausing for an extremely brief moment on Ming Xin, as if his sudden cultivation breakthrough was no surprise.

"The third lecture begins. This time, I will speak of the Primordial Dao Fruit, the secrets of sainthood, and... the method of Slaying the Three Corpses to achieve Sainthood."

As Dao Ancestor Hongjun spoke, the sound of the Great Dao surged like a flood, instantly scattering all stray thoughts in the hall and forcibly drawing everyone's minds into the profound and mysterious Primordial Dao!

This time, the Dao Ancestor spoke not of foundational Dao, but directly of the core secrets of the highest realm in the Primordial World—the Primordial Saint! What is the Primordial realm?

How does one become a saint? Achieving Sainthood through Merit, Proving the Dao through Strength (Proving the Dao through Laws), and the most detailed method, regarded by the Dao Ancestor as the orthodox path—the method of Slaying the Three Corpses!

Dao Ancestor Hongjun held nothing back. He explained in detail the key points of slaying the Good Corpse, Evil Corpse, and Self Corpse, the required spiritual treasures, the mental state needed, and how, after slaying all three corpses, one uses an Innate Spiritual Treasure to entrust obsessions.

Finally, the process of merging the three corpses to prove the Primordial Dao Fruit was meticulously elaborated.

The sound of the Great Dao thundered, countless law runes born and dying in the void. Golden Lotuses Erupting from the Ground, celestial maidens scattering flowers—auspicious signs abounded!

All the great powers held their breath, absorbing this supreme method with rapt attention. This was the key to the highest realm of the Primordial World!

Ming Xin's mind was clear and empty, fully deducing and comprehending. The Primordial Dao, the secrets of sainthood, and especially the method of Slaying the Three Corpses, opened a brand-new door before him.

His Great Nirvana Killing Buddha Scripture operated at an unprecedented speed. Slaughter, Nirvana, the Red Dust, Salvation, the Five Elements... countless laws clashed, merged, and sublimated under the baptism of the Primordial Dao sound!

Slaying the Three Corpses... cutting away obsessions, manifesting independent selves, and finally merging to prove the Primordial realm...

This method was profound, truly a Heaven-Connecting Great Dao!

Yet... deep in Ming Xin's heart, a faint sense of rejection and... incompatibility arose!

His Dao was to kill in order to protect life, to sever karma rather than people! To strive through the Red Dust and transcend through slaughter!

To control everything about himself, to cut through shackles with absolute power and will, reaching the origin!

Though the method of slaying corpses was good, it required borrowing Innate Spiritual Treasures to entrust obsessions. In the end, it relied on external forces. Moreover, the three corpses existed independently before merging...

Could this truly be without hidden dangers? Was it truly the most suitable path for his Dao, centered on "Slaughter," "Nirvana," and "Only Self"?

"No... this is not my path..."

A clear thought emerged deep in his Dao heart, growing more and more resolute!

"I have the system's deduction power, the Great Nirvana Killing Buddha Scripture as a fundamental method pointing straight to Chaos. I have Old Ancestor of Five Elements' origin and the Five-Needle Pine to solidify my foundation, the Myriad Killing Art, Mortal World Palm, Immortal Crossing Art, and the Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Ability to protect my path... Why should I walk the road of borrowing external objects, slashing out dissidents, and then fusing them back?"

"The path I will walk is one that takes myself as the foundation, unifies everything, achieves ultimate sublimation, and with absolute power, proves my Chaos Dao!"

"Slaying the Three Corpses is slashing out obsession incarnations... Then I will slash out 'Past'! Slash out 'Present'! Slash out 'Future'! What is slashed out is not an independent corpse, but the reflections of my own existence across different times and spaces! It is an extension of power, a verification of the Dao path, and in the end, all streams return to the source, I alone am supreme! This is—the Slaying Three Worlds Method!"

[ Ding! Detected host's strong Dao path appeal and inspiration from Dao Ancestor Hongjun's corpse-slaying method! Combining the fundamental essence of Great Nirvana Killing Buddha Scripture, Red Dust Law, time insights... Deducting... Deduction complete! ]

[ Comprehended exclusive Method of Attaining Dao: Slaying Three Worlds Ming Wang Method! ]

[ Core concept: No reliance on external objects, I alone am supreme! Slash the fetters of past karmic hindrances, slash the confusion of present Red Dust, slash the variable causality of the future! Unite the three worlds, and Chaos is self-formed! Currently slayable: Past Self! ]

Boom!

It was as if a thunderclap of heaven-splitting and earth-shattering force exploded within Ming Xin's sea of consciousness! A Chaos path, uniquely his own and perfectly aligned with his personal Dao, was clearly laid out before him!

And at the very moment Dao Ancestor Hongjun reached the critical point of slaying the Good Corpse, when the Dao's sound roared to its peak and the entire Purple Cloud Palace was saturated with Dao resonance to the extreme—

The perfectly rounded and flawless aura of Ming Xin's Great Luo completion suddenly erupted into something incomparably violent, sharp, and filled with a terrifying will to sever everything and be supreme alone!

He snapped his eyes open!

In his left eye appeared an endless sea of blood and karmic hindrances, struggling soul shadows, and the obsession and regret buried deepest in his soul—the memory of the former life's Buddha's Son Ming Xin dying to save a girl! That was his "Past"!

In his right eye, gray-white Nirvana Buddha Flame and a pitch-black Demon Abyss vortex spun madly, reflecting the myriad Red Dust, the myriad forms of sentient beings, and countless choices and confusions along the path of cultivation! That was his "Present"! (Though not yet slashed, it had manifested.)

"Three worlds of reincarnation, I alone am supreme!"

"All past matters, karmic hindrances entangling, unfinished worldly ties—all are illusions!"

"Today, with my Nirvana Killing Buddha Dao, I sever the fetters of the past!"

"Past Self—Slash!"

Ming Xin let out a low shout that was like a decree of the Great Dao!

He did not rely on any Innate Spiritual Treasure!

Instead, he formed his fingers into a blade, using his palm as a knife, imbued with his ultimate insight into all the causes, effects, karmic obstacles, and worldly ties of the "Past," along with the supreme power of the Great Nirvana Killing Buddha Scripture, and slashed fiercely at the origin of his own Primordial Spirit!

Chi—!

A soft sound, as if it did not exist in reality yet resounded in the deepest Primordial Spirit of all great powers—the sound of severing the shackles of fate!

Under the gaze of countless horrified and incredulous eyes, Ming Xin's figure seemed to tremble slightly. A blurry gray-robed figure, identical to his main body but exuding endless vicissitudes, compassion, and a faint phantom of a karmic fire lotus, stepped out from within him!

This figure's face was identical to Ming Xin's, but it appeared somewhat younger, with a trace of lingering compassion and regret between its brows, and clear eyes. It was as if it were still that pure Buddha's Son who had never weathered the storms of the Primordial World, willing to die just to save one person. Its aura was pure and faint, yet carried a sense of liberation from severing the past and attaining great freedom.

It pressed its palms together, bowed slightly to Ming Xin's main body, then quietly stood at his side, eyes closed and silent.

Past Self! Slain!

At this moment, within the Purple Cloud Palace, a profound silence fell!

Even the sound of Dao Ancestor Hongjun's lecture seemed to pause for half a second!

All the great powers, including the Three Pure Ones, Empress Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti, all stared wide-eyed, looking at Ming Xin as if he were a monster.

And at the "Past Self" beside him, just slashed out, with a distinct aura yet sharing the same root!

Slain a corpse?! He actually slashed a corpse on the spot while listening to the Dao?!

No! This is absolutely not the method of Slaying the Three Corpses! Slaying the Three Corpses requires an Innate Spiritual Treasure of corresponding rank to host the obsession, and the auras would be completely different!

But he... he didn't use any spiritual treasure at all! What he slashed out was clearly another "himself"! A self that carried the "Past"! Though its aura was weak, it was of the same origin as the main body, connected by Dao resonance!

What... what kind of bizarre, unheard-of Method of Attaining Dao is this?! To be able to directly slash out a self-reflection of the "Past"?!

"Hiss—!"

After a brief dead silence came the sound of countless sharp intakes of breath! All the great powers were utterly shaken by this unbelievable scene!

"Self... self-slashing the Past?!"

"No spiritual treasure? What was slashed out is... another self?!"

"What kind of method is this?! Even more overbearing and bizarre than the corpse-slaying method passed down by the Dao Ancestor!"

"His Dao... just how far has his Dao reached?!"

"Monster! A true monster!"

Jieyin and Zhunti were first stunned, then ecstasy instantly flooded their faces, nearly losing their composure from excitement!

Our disciple... our disciple actually comprehended a Method of Attaining Dao more suited to himself while the Dao Ancestor was lecturing, and slashed out his Past Self on the spot! What talent! What fortune! The rise of the West truly has hope! It has hope!

The Three Pure Ones' expressions were extremely grave. Laozi's eyes shot with sharp light. Primordial Lord of Heaven's face was iron, his finger joints white from clenching.

Lord of the Heavens took a deep breath, the battle intent in his eyes nearly materializing.

Empress Nuwa covered her lips, her beautiful eyes full of disbelief. Di Jun and Tai Yi's faces were so dark they could drip water.

Old Ancestor Ming He's blood-colored pupils flickered, no one knew what he was thinking. East King Duke's face had already turned ashen.

On the high platform, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's indifferent gaze once again fell upon Ming Xin, and that barely perceptible ripple deep in his eyes stirred once more.

Yet he still did not speak a single word, though the sound of the Dao seemed to become even more ethereal and distant.

Ming Xin felt the presence of his Past Self beside him, and an unprecedented lightness and clarity surged through his entire being. It was as if the heaviest shackle on his soul had been completely severed, and his understanding of his own "Dao"—

—instantly ascended to a whole new level! Although his cultivation realm had not immediately broken through, the path ahead was now utterly bright!

He slowly closed his eyes, once again immersing himself in the Dao Ancestor's Primordial Dao, but this time, he used his own "Slaying Three Worlds" Dao to verify, to absorb, to transcend!

Within the Purple Cloud Palace, the Dao Sound remained majestic.

But the hearts of all the great beings could no longer remain calm.

That gray figure, and the Past Self standing quietly beside him, were like a massive exclamation mark.

Deeply imprinted in the hearts of every great being of the Primordial World, proclaiming an indisputable truth—

Ming Xin of the West already possessed his own Primordial Dao path! His momentum... could no longer be stopped!
