Primordial Era: If I remain in Longevity Mountain, I will steadily attain sainthood.

Chapter 17 Perfect Version of the Three Corpses Severing Method

After making her choice, Hongyun secretly prepared to rush into the Zixiao Palace as soon as the gates opened.

However, a small accident occurred at this moment: the Twelve Ancestral Witches arrived. The Twelve Ancestral Witches also noticed Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi, and they all greeted them.

While Hongyun responded enthusiastically to Zhen Yuanzi, he was inwardly somewhat speechless. Now he was considered a close friend of the Ancestral Witches.

So, should we advise them to go back now? The cultivation they practice is completely different from Hongjun's.

If he went in, wouldn't he be listening to Hongjun recite heavenly scriptures? But after thinking about it, Hongyun decided to let things take their course.

We don't seek to hear the Dao, but it is necessary to let the Ancestral Witches witness the power of the Sage.

After some time, the gates of Zixiao Palace finally swung open with a clang, and two attendants emerged: Haotian and Yaochi.

Haotian stepped forward and shouted, "My master is about to begin his sermon, you all..."

However, before he could finish speaking, the crowd, who were already impatient, surged forward.

The Three Pure Ones took the lead, and although they were closest to the palace gate, they were the first to enter Zixiao Palace.

Secondly, Nuwa, pushed by her brother Fuxi, became the fourth to enter the Zixiao Palace.

What Hongyun didn't expect was that he didn't need to leave Zhen Yuanzi at all. Because Zhen Yuanzi was always there, but at this particular moment, he went to talk to Houtu.

Among the twelve ancestral witches, Houtu is the ancestral witch of earth, and has a deep understanding of the laws of earth. In addition, she is the most simple and kind-hearted.

Zhen Yuanzi also cultivated the Way of Earth, so he got along best with Houtu.

However, this was just right, as Hongyun felt even less burdened. But there was a second thing that surprised Hongyun.

That means he wasn't the sixth person to enter Zixiao Palace, but the fifth.

That Kunpeng had fallen behind him.

Without thinking twice, Hongyun headed straight for the six prayer cushions placed beneath the altar.

The whole process was a long story, but it actually happened in the blink of an eye. The three Pure Ones sat down on the three prayer cushions in front of them.

Nuwa sat down on the fourth futon.

Hongyun sat on the fifth futon, and Kunpeng followed suit, sitting on the sixth futon.

In the blink of an eye, all six prayer cushions had found their owners.

The other powerful figures who entered saw this and decided not to argue any further. After all, this was a sage's dojo, and if a conflict broke out, wouldn't that displease the sage?

Therefore, since no one could get a prayer mat, they had no choice but to sit on the ground behind them.

Zhen Yuanzi couldn't get a prayer mat either, but seeing that Hongyun had managed to sit on one, he was overjoyed and said to Houtu, "Hongyun's good fortune has always been very deep."

All the Ancestral Witches heard this, and their goodwill towards Zhen Yuanzi increased even more. After all, although the two were brothers, Zhen Yuanzi's character, which showed no jealousy, was truly a match for their temperament.

At this moment, Hongyun's mind was racing, and she realized that she had actually sat on the fifth futon.

Then I wouldn't be the first one to be affected.

So, is he going to step down from the title of "good guy" and hand it over to Kunpeng?

Just then, as Hongyun had already managed to grab a futon and sit down, the system's rewards were distributed.

In an instant, a document about the method of severing the three corpses appeared in Hongyun's mind.

Hongyun carefully reviewed the so-called "perfect version of the method to sever the three corpses" provided by the system and found that it was indeed different from the method to sever the three corpses that she knew.

The method of severing the three corpses that I know involves using a primordial spiritual treasure to entrust one's obsessions and severing three incarnations.

Finally, through repeated union of the body and spirit, he attained the Dao of Hunyuan.

The problem is that, apart from Hongjun himself, no one else in the primordial world has ever severed their three corpses to attain enlightenment.

Even if someone like Laozi of Taiqing had completely severed the three corpses, he still did not attain enlightenment by uniting the three corpses; he still attained enlightenment through merit.

As a result, it's no wonder that conspiracy theories related to Hongjun Daozu have become popular.

Is there really a problem with the method of severing the three corpses transmitted by Hongjun? Was it intentional, or is it because the people are incapable?

Hongyun glanced through the method of severing the three corpses and gradually gained an understanding of it.

Perhaps the method of severing the three corpses transmitted by Hongjun is actually not the problem; it's just that people can't do it.

Why do I say that?

Because the method of severing the three corpses that Hongyun obtained has two types, superior and inferior. The inferior method is the one that Hongyun knows, which is also the method of severing the three corpses that Hongjun passed down.

This method of severing the three corpses relies on innate spiritual treasures to entrust one's obsession with severing the corpses, and it does not require any spiritual treasures of the same or different origins.

After all, there aren't many spiritual treasures of the same origin in the primordial world. If there were such a drawback, Hongjun wouldn't have passed it on.

In fact, the Dao of Lingbao itself cannot be the same as the Dao of its own.

The first step in severing the three corpses and entrusting one's obsessions to a spiritual treasure is to refine the innate spiritual treasure and become familiar with its Dao before severing the corpses. In this way, one can transform the Dao of the innate spiritual treasure into a part of one's own Dao.

This is the principle behind using spiritual treasures to sever the three corpses. However, if you use three spiritual treasures with vastly different attributes and laws to sever the corpses, and your own Dao cannot properly adjust and unify the Daos of these three treasures, then there will indeed be quite a few problems.

Besides, there is another drawback to using a spiritual treasure to sever the three corpses: the resulting primordial chaos is not stable.

Once the three corpses merge into one and the primordial chaos is achieved, the spiritual treasure used to entrust one's obsessions will also become part of the primordial chaos.

If this magical treasure is broken and destroyed, although it will not necessarily cause one to fall from the Hunyuan realm, it will inevitably suffer a great loss of vital energy.

Furthermore, the Lingbao Severing the Three Corpses technique has another drawback: the treasure must be completely refined.

If someone tries to take a shortcut and pin all their obsession on a single treasure, they might be able to skip most of the final steps of combining the three corpses. However, the requirements for the treasure they choose will be much higher.

It needs to be powerful enough to contain the immense magical power and cultivation associated with the three obsessions.

Therefore, only innate supreme treasures could possibly be the treasures to which one can entrust the three great obsessions.

It is possible to completely refine a primordial treasure. Unless it has already reached the Hunyuan stage, the difficulty of refining it is, well, we can refer to Donghuang Taiyi again.

Therefore, the path of severing the three corpses with spiritual treasure is not only difficult, but in fact extremely difficult.

It's no wonder that after Hongjun passed down the method of severing the three corpses, no one in the prehistoric world used it to attain enlightenment.

However, upon seeing the superior method of severing the three corpses provided by the system, Hongyun was once again shocked.

This superior method is the so-called perfect way to sever the three corpses, while the inferior one is merely used by the system for comparison.

Hongyun was shocked when he saw this superior method, but he thought of Taiqing Laozi, who said that he had severed the three corpses but had not been able to reunite them. Perhaps he did not believe it to be true.

Taiqing Laozi may not have severed the Three Corpses to attain sainthood, but it is very likely that he did manage to reunite the Three Corpses.

However, this should have been done after he became a saint.
