Primordial Era: Taking the blame to become a saint, proving one's path through eccentricity!

Chapter 372 [Severing All Three Corpses, Straight to the Level of Quasi-Saint]

Xuan Yin's body was surrounded by a surge of Daoist energy, with the innate Daos of time, space, the five elements, cause and effect, creation, and thunder constantly revolving around the Dao of Law.

Following that, other acquired paths such as swordsmanship, formation, weaponry, talisman, alchemy, warfare, and wealth evolved into various laws and divine patterns.

These are all the great principles he has comprehended!

Time, space, and the five elements originated from the Twelve Ancestral Witches; the Great Dao of Creation originated from Nuwa; and the Dao of Swords and the Dao of Arrays originated from the Tongtian Sect Master.

There are also military strategies from Chi You, financial strategies from Zhao Gongming, and so on!

Some of these great principles were discovered through his own enlightenment, some were learned from listening to sages preach, and some were grasped when discussing the principles with others.

While the Law Dao, as his core Dao, can govern these Daos, it cannot fuse them all together.

Or perhaps it's because his understanding of the Great Dao is insufficient, and he hasn't reached that level yet!

In terms of the same cultivation time and space, he is definitely inferior to Dijiang and Zhujiuyin.

The same applies to the Great Dao of Creation.

Although he managed to get a lot of insights about the Great Dao of Creation from Nuwa by taking the blame for her, his cultivation level was limited. Even if he had the corresponding insights into the Great Dao, he couldn't use some of the supernatural powers related to the Great Dao of Creation!

For example, he did have similar insights into creating the world using the laws of creation, but limited by his realm, he could not, like the goddess Nuwa, melt water and fire, create the universe, and open up the Primordial Heaven with a single thought!

For beings below the level of sainthood, the key to mastering laws is quality, not quantity. Unless they are stuck at a certain level for more than ten eons, they will not spend too much time studying other laws.

For sages, time has no meaning. They have studied all three thousand Great Daos, but they still only cultivate a few of them.

If Xuan Yin hadn't acquired the Water Element Dao Fruit, Fire Element Dao Fruit, and Earth Element Dao Fruit from Zu Long, Yuan Feng, and Shi Qilin respectively, he wouldn't have been able to master so many Great Dao Laws at the moment.

At this moment, he was pondering how to endow these laws of the Great Dao with new characteristics.

The Three Thousand Great Daos are the foundation of the Primordial True World. If we want to integrate them into one, the World Laws or the Chaos Laws are the best choices.

but----

The acquired Dao techniques that Xuan Yin mastered were not suitable for integration with this method.

"Is there a Great Dao that combines both innate and acquired characteristics?"

The normal path is either born innately, nurtured by chaos, or created after birth, and then gradually sublimated.

Although those great paths that were created later in life have acquired innate characteristics after sublimation, their foundation still comes from the acquired. The laws of the world and the laws of chaos still cannot melt them down.

Suddenly, Xuan Yin thought of a great path!

"Gossip!"

This Great Dao originated from the Pre-Heaven Bagua, followed by the Post-Heaven Bagua. If examined closely, the chaotic universe also has the foundation for the evolution of this Great Dao.

after all----

Among the three thousand demon gods are the Heavenly Demon God, the Earthly Demon God, the Water Demon God, the Fire Demon God, the Wind Demon God, and the Thunder Demon God.

Since the Pre-Heaven Bagua can evolve into the Post-Heaven Bagua, it is naturally also possible for it to evolve into the Chaos Bagua before the beginning of time.

However, no Chaos God did this during the Chaos God Era!

Combining the eight Great Daos together can be considered as giving the Great Daos new characteristics.

"Unfortunately, I can't do that yet!"

Xuan Yin shook his head: "Combining the eight Chaos Great Daos together isn't difficult, but they must first reach the level of a Chaos Demon God!"

Of these eight Great Daos, the Water, Fire, and Wind Great Daos, due to the Water Element Dao Fruit, Fire Element Dao Fruit, and Wind Element Dao Fruit, and with the foundations of the Primordial Water Spirit, Primordial Fire Spirit, and Primordial Wind Spirit, are only one step away from becoming the Great Daos of Chaos.

Then comes the Earthly Dao Fruit, which has the late stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm. Once he attains this, he will open the Heaven and Earth Spirit, naturally becoming comparable to the three Great Daos of Water, Fire, and Wind.

As for the Great Dao of Thunder, due to the origin of Taixiao, there is also a mid-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

The remaining three Great Daos—Heaven, Mountain, and Marsh—are still at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Among them, the Great Dao of Heaven is particularly special, as it wields two Heavenly Dao authorities, theoretically allowing it to unleash profound mysteries at the level of a sage.

However, his own understanding of the Way of Heaven is far from reaching that level.

"It's best not to aim too high!"

Once he achieves the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he may be able to delve deeper into these great paths.

But for now, it's better to put your ideas into practice, choose a fundamental principle, and try to give it new characteristics.

According to his deductions, the most suitable one is a certain line from the Eight Trigrams of the Earlier Heaven.

With a slight thought, the Great Dao of Cause and Effect transformed into a gentle breeze, a wind of cause and effect that could disrupt the cause and effect within a cultivator.

Immediately afterwards, the Great Dao of Time materialized, transforming into an illusory river of time and space.

This is flowing water!

It can reflect the past, and it can also change the flow of time in the surrounding area on a small scale!

Then, the fates of all beings manifested, and streams of anger transformed into flames of resentment, instantly shattering the boundary between reality and illusion.

But Xuan Yin shook his head.

His understanding of certain Great Daos is insufficient. Some Great Daos can manifest as wind, while others can manifest as water or fire. However, some Great Daos cannot directly manifest as wind, water, or fire.

After much thought, he still felt that the Great Dao of Thunder was the most suitable, since the Great Dao generates thunder, and when different Great Daos collide, thunder will be generated in the void.

In addition, the power of thunder magic is immense. Several saints in the prehistoric world, regardless of what path they cultivate, all delve deeply into the path of thunder.

The Supreme Clarity Divine Thunder and the End Divine Thunder of the Tongtian Sect Leader, the Jade Clarity Divine Thunder of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the Supreme Clarity Divine Thunder of the Taiqing Laozi, the Creation Divine Thunder of the Goddess Nuwa, and the Annihilation Divine Thunder of the Guide Daoist —

These can all be used as a reference!

"Ray is coming!"

With a thought, Xuan Yin conjured up the Creation Divine Thunder, the Supreme Clarity Divine Thunder, the End Divine Thunder, the Jade Clarity Divine Thunder, the Great Clarity Divine Thunder, and the Annihilation Divine Thunder in succession.

Immediately afterwards, he also manifested the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Destruction Divine Thunder of Demon Ancestor Luo, and the Geng Metal Divine Thunder of Daoist Zhunti.

Although it is far inferior to a sage in terms of power, it has already begun to take shape!

But this is not the end.

Although Xuan Yin had never seen Hou Tu unleash the Reincarnation Divine Thunder, he possessed remarkable attainments in both the Dao of Reincarnation and the Dao of Thunder.

In the void, the six paths rotated, the heavens and earth trembled, and instantly a divine thunder of reincarnation, containing the aura of reincarnation, emerged, resembling a giant serpent with its head and tail connected.

"Can!"

After successfully evolving the Reincarnation Divine Thunder, Xuan Yin was overjoyed and immediately began to try to transform other Great Daos into thunder forms.

Boom!

Under the influence of the Dao Yi Seal, cause and effect collide continuously, and then transform into the Divine Thunder of Cause and Effect.

A moment later, the Dao Yi Seal transformed into the Void Seal, and the vast void, constantly arising and colliding, evolved into spatial divine thunder.

Immediately afterwards, different timelines overlapped, and the past, present, and future collided, and the Time God Thunder, capable of transcending time, appeared in the world.

Xuan Yin is currently unleashing the Time Divine Thunder, but due to the Great Dao of Time, it is possible that he will appear in the past or future.

Even the other seven Great Daos, which are also part of the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Heaven, can manifest as thunder. For example, there is the Heavenly Thunder, which contains the aura of the Heavenly Dao; the Great Dao of the Marsh, which manifests as a thunderous marsh; the Water Thunder, which flows like water; and the Formless Wind Thunder, which is as elusive as the Great Dao of Wind.

Thunderbolts as fierce as fire, landmines and mountain mines as heavy as the earth and mountains!

After an unknown period of time, the innate Great Dao that Xuan Yin had mastered all evolved into the form of thunder, and under the influence of the Law Dao, they merged into one.

But this is still not the end.

after all----

In addition to these innate Great Daos, Xuan Yin also possesses many acquired Great Daos.

The Dao of Alchemy manifested, transforming into a Thunder Pill, followed closely by the Dao of Array, which formed countless thunder array patterns around the Thunder Pill.

Furthermore, the military strategy reveals the intent of killing and warfare, which condenses into thunder and lightning, taking on various forms such as knives, spears, swords, and halberds.

Thunder transforms into swords, lightning into weapons; the way of the sword and the way of the weapon instantly evolve into sword thunder and weapon thunder.

Even the path to wealth has evolved into the imagery of thunder; when the golden thunder god of wealth falls, it can wipe out a cultivator's fortune completely.

Now, only the law remains!

After an unknown period of time, the Law Dao, as the central force, also transformed into thunder, governing all laws and regulations. The Law Dao Divine Thunder directly commanded all kinds of thunder.

Various thunderous images manifested by the Great Dao swirled around the Divine Thunder of the Law Dao, and Xuan Yin felt the Heavenly Sound of the Great Dao constantly exploding in his ears.

"I see!"

Suddenly, Xuan Yin had a flash of inspiration and laughed, "No wonder the lightning I conjure is far less powerful than the lightning techniques of the sages!"

"Their lightning is all based on their own Great Dao, then fused with other Great Daos, and finally manifests the laws of their Great Dao in the form of lightning!"

The Shangqing Divine Thunder used by ordinary disciples of the Jie Sect only follows the Shangqing Dao, and naturally cannot compare to the Tongtian Sect Master in terms of the power and mystery of thunder magic.

The greatest function of the Nine Heavens Origin obtained by direct disciples is to use it as a foundation to integrate the various laws they have mastered into one.

The Nine Heavens are the nine heavens. Great Luo Golden Immortals can open up the Great Luo Heaven, and the origin of the Nine Heavens is the Great Luo Heaven evolved from the Great Luo Heaven of the Tongtian Sect Master.

"The Great Luo Heaven is actually the rudimentary form of the Heavenly Dao, but ordinary Great Luo Heaven practitioners grasp too few laws and lack sufficient understanding of the Great Dao. Their Great Luo Heaven is not even one ten-millionth as powerful as the Heavenly Dao!"

"The sages, having absorbed the myriad paths of knowledge, have already made their Great Luo Heaven a minor celestial realm!"

"Apart from Dao Ancestor Hongjun, among all the sages, Taiqing Laozi possesses the most Dao, so he can naturally evolve the rudimentary form of the Heavenly Dao!"

Xuan Yin couldn't help but think of the Supreme Demon Ancestor, whose Heavenly Dao Domain was actually a fusion of himself and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

The Great Dao of the Tongtian Sect Master, Demon Ancestor Luo, and others, because it is perfect enough, can reveal some true images of the Heavenly Dao when they are used!

His ability to perform the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones must mean that he has a far greater understanding of the Great Dao than ordinary saints, as demonstrated by the Primordial Heavenly Venerable and the Tongtian Sect Master.

The fact that the Three Pure Ones' incarnations possessed the combat power of a sage indicates that their understanding of the Jade Purity Dao and the Upper Purity Dao had reached the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal.

The fact that the Supreme Demon Ancestor possessed the strength of a quasi-saint indicates that he also had extremely high attainments in the demonic path.

In addition, his ability to convert barbarians to Buddhism during his twenty previous reincarnations also demonstrates his attainments in the Buddhist path.

According to Xuan Yin's calculations, Taiqing Laozi's foundation is definitely the deepest among the Heavenly Dao Saints, apart from Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

However, he has never fully transformed his accumulated knowledge and skills into his own strength.

"Is his evolution of the rudimentary form of the Heavenly Dao perhaps an attempt to establish a separate Heavenly Dao, encompass all other Daos, and forge his own essence into a completely new Heavenly Dao?"

"Is this how you compare to the Dao Ancestor?"

As Xuan Yin transformed all the Great Daos he had mastered into the form of lightning, he instantly understood the essence of the Great Luo Heaven.

Through understanding the true nature of the Great Luo Heaven, he also guessed the scheme of Taiqing Laozi!

The Heavenly Dao is the Great Dao of Chaos. Among the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, there are Heavenly Demon Gods. The ancient Emperor Cangli and several other great beings, such as the Heavenly Duke, Qingtian, Huangtian, and Cangtian, cultivated the Great Dao of Heaven.

Among them, Cangli went the furthest. He cultivated the Heavenly Dao and had already broken free from the shackles of the Heavenly Demon God. Although he ultimately failed, he laid the foundation for Dao Ancestor Hongjun to perfect the Heavenly Dao.

In Xuan Yin's view, the current Heavenly Dao is probably the closest to the general principles of the Great Dao.

However, the Jade Disc of Creation is incomplete, and the Three Thousand Great Daos integrated into the Heavenly Dao are not perfect. Dao Ancestor Hongjun still needs to find a way to further improve the Heavenly Dao.

The same applies to tunnels.

Among the three thousand chaotic demon gods, there are earth demon gods, such as the Earth Emperor Yue Jianshi, the Earth Mother Yuanjun, and Zhen Yuanzi, all of whom have extremely high attainments in the earthly realm.

Of the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man, only the Human Path is not a Chaotic Great Dao. However, based on Xuan Yin's research on the Human Path system during this period, he has also incorporated many Chaotic-level Great Daos, such as the Five Primordial Primordial Elements. The Nine-Headed Clan wants to create a completely new Great Dao.

Cangli and Yuejian, including Hongjun and Houtu today, all built upon the foundations laid by their predecessors, endowing the two paths of Heaven and Earth with new characteristics of the Great Dao.

They also succeeded.

Under normal circumstances, a single Chaos Path can only support one Chaos Demon God.

However, the current Heaven and Earth Dao can support several sages, which undoubtedly means that they have broken free from the original constraints of the Heaven Dao and Earth Dao.

The Great Dao may take many paths, but they all lead to the same destination. Laozi of Taiqing studied the Great Dao of other sages and evolved a new Heavenly Dao. Nuwa attempted to attain the same Dao of Heaven, Earth, and Man. In fact, they all wanted to integrate the various Great Daos they had mastered into one, so that their fundamental Great Dao, like the Great Dao of Power, would become the general outline of the Great Dao!

Furthermore, Yuanshi Tianzun's pursuit of creation and origin, and his desire to attain the Dao Fruit of Pangu, was probably also in order to directly obtain the enlightenment of the Great God Pangu.

As for their own teacher, he is the master of the end times. When heaven and earth come to an end and all laws return to stillness, there will naturally be an opportunity to forge many great Daos.

His focus on the Great Dao of Acquired Realm is probably also in order to break free from the shackles of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

If all sages mastered the three thousand Great Daos and transformed their fundamental Dao into something like the Great Dao of Power, then whose fundamental Dao would be the strongest general principle of the Great Dao?

Both are fundamental principles, and under normal circumstances, it would be difficult to determine a winner.

But what if a certain sage possessed more Dao principles than Pangu and other sages?

Other saints forged three thousand chaotic great paths, but the Tongtian Sect Master could forge a sword great path on top of the three thousand great paths!

Three thousand and three thousand and one may seem not much different, but a fine line can sometimes reveal the difference in the level of one's path!

Xuan Yin suddenly realized: "It seems that the teacher has some advantage?"

"but----"

"Taishang Laozi attained Hunyuan through alchemy and also cultivated one of the three thousand Great Daos into a Chaos Great Dao at the level of a Chaos Demon God. It seems that Master's advantage has been caught up?"

If all the sages could master the Great Dao, then the Dao of Sword and the Dao of Alchemy would be the advantage that the Tongtian Sect Master and Taiqing Laozi had over other sages!

"etc!"

"What Taiyi and I did has affected Yuanshi Tianzun's plans to pursue the Origin. Could he also follow in his teacher's footsteps and pursue the Acquired Dao?"

"If possible, it would be better to let him continue to cultivate his skills on the Innate Path!"

"In that case, even if he manages to master the Great Dao's fundamental principles and refines all the Daos, he will still fall to the level of Master Weakness and Laozi of Taiqing on the Great Dao!"

"In the long run, it's better to prevent Yuanshi Tianzun from cultivating the acquired path; in the short term, it's better to prevent him from attaining the primordial path!"

After realizing this, Xuan Yin was immediately conflicted. If he could, he would certainly like to dig a big pit for Yuanshi Tianzun at this time.

However, he also had his own ideas about the Primordial Dao and did not want to give it to the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

"That's enough!"

Xuan Yin couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

After much deliberation, he decided to act according to his original idea—if Yuanshi Tianzun is going to follow the path of the acquired world, then so be it!

At worst, I can just cultivate a few more acquired paths after I become a saint!

If Yuanshi Tianzun possesses 3,001 Great Daos, he possesses 3,002, giving him an advantage in this regard.

Tongtian Jiaozhu, Zhao Gongming, and Chiyou, these outstanding practitioners of the acquired path, are currently standing on the opposite side of the Chan Sect and Yuanshi Tianzun!

The advantage lies with me!

Having understood this, Xuan Yin saw the road ahead clearly, and the hundreds of lightning bolts he had created instantly merged into the Divine Lightning of the Law!

Boom!

The fusion of all paths, the intertwining of the innate and the acquired, evolved into a completely new divine thunder, which even resonated with the imprint left by Pangu.

【Shaoqing Divine Thunder】

Xuan Yin went against the past to prove that he was the grandson of Pangu and the son of Shangqing, Shaoqing Daoren!

After endowing the Great Dao of Thunder with numerous characteristics, he finally possessed a terrifying thunder technique at the level of Chaos Divine Thunder.

Because it has been forged from enough Dao principles, its power far exceeds that of the Wildfire.

If he wanted to, he could condense a Thunder Origin Dao Fruit at the late stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm right now, relying on his own understanding of the Thunder Dao!

But this is just the beginning.

Having bestowed upon the Great Dao of Thunder hundreds of new characteristics, Xuan Yin's Dao Heart was now clear, and he finally found the opportunity to sever the lingering attachment within him.

"cut!"

With a thought, Xuan Yin unleashed his Obsession Corpse, which, along with the Wind Origin Dao Fruit, was placed on the Immortal-Slaying Gourd he had obtained from Taiyi.

"melt!"

After severing the three corpses, Xuan Yin did not hesitate at all and directly attempted to use the Sacred Law Gourd, a treasure for proving the Dao, to melt down the Immortal Slaying Gourd.

After an unknown period of time, the essence of the Immortal-Slaying Gourd completely merged into the Sacred Law Gourd. The essence of the Sacred Law Gourd had surpassed the level of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure and reached the level of a half-step innate supreme treasure.

The Wind Element Dao Fruit was completely integrated into the Law Element Dao Fruit. The power of the three mixed-element Dao Fruits evolved into a water-fire Tai Chi diagram in the Law Element Dao Fruit, with the power of water and fire on the left and right, and the power of wind becoming the central axis that balances the two.

Xuan Yin's Dao Fruit directly reached the Perfection of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, and the Three Corpses of Immortal Dao also allowed him to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm of Immortal Dao.

Next, as long as he can attain the power to open the spirit of heaven and earth and thoroughly refine the Dao Fruit of the Earthly Origin, he will truly possess the ability to become a Dao Saint!

When he returns to the primordial world, he will melt down the Purple Gold Gourd that entrusts his physical body, the Heaven and Earth Gourd that entrusts his spiritual body, and the Demon-Summoning Gourd that entrusts his spiritual body. Then the Sacred Law Gourd will be able to transform into a supreme innate treasure.

In a moment of sudden enlightenment, all three corpses were severed, the Dao fruit was perfected, and one directly entered the realm of Quasi-Saint!

The path to sainthood is right before our eyes!
