“‘Cutting off the Three Corpses to become a Saint’ is no big deal?”
Shi Ji laughed, “You, a mere mortal, dare to discuss the Dao taught by Daozu?”
“Looking at your expression, it seems you are not convinced.” Shi Hao glanced at her, understanding her feelings.
In the primordial world, Daozu Hongjun is the supreme existence. The Three Pure Ones and the Six Saints are all his disciples.
Shi Ji said, “Nonsense, although I haven't had the chance to learn the 'Three Corpses Severing' method, it is indeed the supreme path to the Dao, everyone knows this.”
Shi Hao smiled and asked, “Then tell me, besides Heavenly Dao Hongjun, are there any other Saints who have achieved Sainthood through the 'Three Corpses Severing' method?”
She was about to say the Six Saints, but after thinking about it, Shi Ji froze.
Although the Six Saints had practiced the ‘Three Corpses Severing’ method, none of them became Saints because of it. For example, Laozi, the Grand Master, only used it to cultivate to the peak of Quasi-Saint. The two from the West only reached the level of ‘Two Corpses Severing’. In the end, they all became Saints by relying on immense merit!
“There are none, right. The Three Corpses are good thoughts, bad thoughts, and the self. Using innate spiritual treasures to sever them is the path to Quasi-Saint. Severing all three corpses makes one a ‘Three Corpses Quasi-Saint’. Merging the Three Corpses into one allows one to achieve the Fruit of the Great Golden Immortal!”
“But severing the Three Corpses is difficult, and merging them is even more difficult. Throughout the Primordial World, only Hongjun, using the Jade Disc of Creation to house his Three Corpses, was able to merge them, and since then no one has achieved Sainthood through this method.”
“Unless there is a treasure like the Jade Disc of Creation that can house all three corpses simultaneously, or if one finds three innate spiritual treasures of the same origin, but throughout the entire Primordial World, how many innate spiritual treasures can meet these conditions? The ‘Three Corpses Dao’ is great. It provides a way out for those who are destined to never become Saints. As long as they use innate spiritual treasures to sever their Three Corpses, they can break through from Great Golden Immortal to Quasi-Saint, but it also limits the practitioner’s future.”
“Without three innate spiritual treasures of the same origin, severing the Three Corpses would be a dead end?” Shi Ji’s face stiffened. Let alone three treasures of the same origin, she only had one innate spiritual treasure.
She had just used it to successfully sever her corpse, and before she could be happy, Shi Hao’s words hit her like a hammer. How was she supposed to cultivate afterwards?
Thinking about it carefully, even if she knew it was a dead end, what could she do? If Hongjun hadn’t passed down the ‘Three Corpses Severing’ method, there would have been no path at all.
Countless beings would remain at the peak of Great Golden Immortal, unsure of how to break through or how to cultivate. That’s why Hongjun is called the Daozu.
And the ‘Three Corpses Severing’ method gives those stuck at Great Golden Immortal a glimmer of hope to move forward.
Even though the conditions are very strict, requiring innate spiritual treasures to house the severed bodies, there will still be many powerful beings in the Primordial World who have the potential to break through.
Especially the first batch of innate powerful beings born in the Primordial World, which one of them doesn’t possess several innate spiritual treasures?
“What about my senior brother, Duobao, of the Intercepting Sect? He is exceptionally talented and has countless treasures. With the Intercepting Sect’s destiny supporting him, can he achieve Sainthood?”
In Shi Ji’s heart, although there are countless powerful beings in the Primordial World, her senior brother is the most likely to become a Saint.
“Duobao? He can’t! After the next great tribulation, his strength may be considered the first among Quasi-Saints, a perfect ‘Three Corpses Quasi-Saint’. He might even obtain immense merit, but he still won’t become a Saint. Achieving the Great Golden Immortal is extremely difficult. Duobao’s talent, destiny, and strength are all good, but becoming a Saint requires recognition from Heavenly Dao, otherwise, nothing can be done. Except for Houtu, in Hongjun’s plan, there are only six Heavenly Dao Saints in the entire Primordial World!”
So it’s fortunate to be born in the Primordial World. Some beings are born as Great Golden Immortals, standing at the peak of cultivation. Even if mortals ascend, they have almost no bottlenecks. But it’s also unfortunate. The path to achieving the Dao seems to have been blocked by Hongjun alone.
“So, in the end, even my senior brother won’t succeed?” Shi Ji was shocked, then she sighed. She can’t tell the truth from the lie, but the fact that this younger brother dared to talk about Hongjun scared her.
“Actually, it’s not bad for them. After the Conflagration of the Gods, all the Saints were confined by Hongjun. So Quasi-Saints and Great Golden Immortals are the ceiling of strength. After the Conflagration of the Gods, Quasi-Saints live a much happier life than Saints, at least they don’t have any restrictions,” Shi Hao laughed.
Hearing this, Shi Ji was slightly taken aback. The despair for the future made her disheartened again.
“Younger brother, besides those three methods of the Daozu, is there really no path to becoming a Great Golden Immortal?” Unable to contain herself, Shi Ji looked at the man she had only met twice, who mistakenly took her as his sister, with hopeful eyes.
Maybe Shi Ji still had doubts about Shi Hao’s words, but the man’s remarks were profound and mysterious. He even understood the cultivation methods for becoming a Saint, how could Shi Ji dare to underestimate him?
“You’re just a small Qi Refiner. Why are you asking so much? Knowing it won’t be of any benefit to your cultivation.”
Shi Hao chuckled, without intending to answer.
“Yes, you’re right. How could you know about something that even Saints don’t understand?” Shi Ji laughed at herself.
Caiyun, who had just woken up from her tea-induced state of enlightenment, felt as if she had overheard a huge secret, and was shocked.
Who is this mysterious man in front of her? A simple cup of tea raised her mental cultivation, and he can discuss Dao with her Master.
“Yes, yes, you’re right.”
Shi Hao’s laughing and evasive face made Shi Ji want to punch him. Although she didn’t think he knew, he could at least say something.
“Sister, actually, I suddenly called you back today because I want you to help me move.”
“What, do you want to move and run away?”
When they last met, Shi Ji thought Shi Hao was just joking. She didn’t expect him to be serious!
“What else? You’ve been cultivating for decades, so I want you to take me away. Otherwise, with the speed of a mortal, it would take a long time to travel tens of thousands of miles.”
The Primordial World is vast and boundless. Its size cannot be compared to Blue Star. Today, a distance of tens of thousands of miles is just a blink of an eye to some powerful beings.
For example, Sun Wukong can flip ten thousand eight thousand miles with one somersault.
“Younger brother, you don’t need to move. The crisis in the Skull Mountain White Bone Cave has been resolved. Nezha of the Chen Tang Guan has been beheaded by Shi Ji Niang Niang.”
Shi Ji said calmly.
