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

Chapter 36 Three Methods of Corpse Severing, Third Sermon

"Brother Zhenyuan is right. I haven't figured out the method of proving the Dao in this world yet. Trying to achieve both world-based Dao and the method of severing the three corpses simultaneously will only drag me down. Even if I don't fail to achieve the Dao, it will greatly increase the time required," Hongyun sighed inwardly.

At the same time, Hongyun also began to think about this world. To increase its foundation and strengthen its roots, the best way would naturally be to integrate more innate spiritual treasures into this world.

This is the most direct approach. After all, the Qiankun World itself originated in this way. And the first choice of innate spiritual treasures would naturally be the remaining twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.

"If I am fortunate enough to obtain it, that would be best. But if Tongtian gets it, would I exchange it for a top-grade innate spiritual treasure?" Hongyun thought to himself, not really willing to part with it.

He doesn't have many top-grade innate spiritual treasures on hand right now. The Twelfth Grade Pure World White Lotus is his means of transportation, so naturally he can't exchange it for anything else.

They were equally reluctant to part with the treasure-gathering plate and the treasure-dropping coins.

As for the Yin-Yang Tower, Hongyun also had its uses and didn't want to give it to Tongtian.

So, what should we do? Hongyun thought about it but still couldn't come up with a solution. She could only wait and see.

Besides the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, other innate spiritual treasures are also acceptable.

This is also why Hongyun didn't want to exchange for the treasure.

At worst, we can use some different innate spiritual treasures; it's not worth giving up a top-grade innate spiritual treasure—that would be too painful.

For the Qiankun World, the most useful innate spiritual treasures, with the best attributes, are those with spatial attributes.

Secondly, there are the Five Elements attributes, and then the Four Symbols attributes.

These three types of innate spiritual treasures can greatly enhance the origin of the universe in a short period of time.

To enhance our foundation and resources, enabling the world to continue to develop and improve.

However, Hongyun was not in a hurry. After thinking for a while, he calmed down and silently comprehended the way of the world.

Consolidate your own level of understanding.

And so, another thousand years passed, and finally, on the other side, there was movement in the Mingde Palace where Zhen Yuanzi was located.

Along with another surge of innate spiritual energy, which poured into Mingde Palace, Zhen Yuanzi successfully severed the benevolent corpse not long after.

However, unlike Hongyun, his benevolent corpse was merely created by the essence flower.

The benevolent corpses created in this way are much weaker, which is why Hongyun added the Five Elements Dao to the corpse-slaying technique.

The Three Flowers Severing Corpse is a method of seeking the Dao within, without relying on the Dao and power inherent in the innate spiritual treasure itself. Therefore, it is much weaker than the Innate Spiritual Treasure Severing Corpse.

However, this was only the case at the beginning. The avatars created by the Three Flowers Corpse Severing technique can gradually increase their cultivation level through practice.

It is much smoother than using a primordial spiritual treasure to sever a corpse.

Hongyun takes the best of both worlds and eliminates their weaknesses. Although using the Dao to sever the corpse will reduce the cultivation of the main body, it will make the severed avatar stronger and no weaker than the spiritual treasure's corpse-severing technique.

In general, each of the three methods has its own strengths and weaknesses. The Three Flowers Corpse Severing method produces a relatively weak avatar. The Spirit Treasure Corpse Severing method produces an avatar that cultivates more slowly. In fact, if one does not fully grasp the Dao contained in the Spirit Treasure, it will hinder one's cultivation and make it even more difficult to improve one's cultivation. However, if the Spirit Treasure used is powerful enough, the avatar produced by the First Severing method can be very strong.

As for Hongyun's creation of the Dao to sever corpses, although it combined the advantages of both, it weakened him in turn, causing damage to his cultivation.

Of course, although there are losses, by severing one's own path, the avatar can help Hongyun specialize in a path, thus saving Hongyun a lot of time and energy.

Moreover, in addition to this, Hongyun also exploited a small loophole in the process of severing the three corpses to prove the Dao and proving the Dao in the world.

That is.

Although Hongyun severed his own path, the Five Elements still exist within the Qiankun World.

Therefore, although his cultivation level was temporarily reduced, he could quickly replenish it through the world.

Therefore, the weakening effect of using the Dao to sever the corpse on Hongyun is not actually that significant.

By the time Zhen Yuanzi had severed the corpse, it wasn't long before the third sermon at Zixiao Palace.

It must be said that Hongjun Daozu (the Dao Ancestor) timed this very carefully. Ten thousand years was just enough time for everyone to comprehend and digest the Dao.

He then continued preaching, urging the crowd not to cause too much trouble.

Therefore, although there were quite a few quasi-saints who severed their corpses, not many things happened in the prehistoric world.

After Hongyun emerged from seclusion, he taught his three disciples on Longevity Mountain.

Although Kong Xuan mastered the Five-Colored Divine Light, he still did not take human form.

Both Qi and Xuanpeng were born with the cultivation level of Golden Immortals. However, although their starting point was high, it was not easy for them to transform into human form.

They will only be able to take human form when they break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal level.

Of course, Hongyun wasn't in a hurry. Now was the time for them to lay a solid foundation. If they were taught well, she could save herself a lot of trouble later.

Time passed slowly, and finally, the voice of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun arrived once again, announcing that the third sermon at Zixiao Palace was about to begin.

Everyone was quite excited, after all, this sermon was about the way of the sages, which was something they couldn't miss no matter what.

In an instant, streaks of light rose from all directions, flying rapidly toward the chaos beyond the heavens.

Longevity Hill, Wuzhuang Temple.

After instructing his three disciples, Hongyun set off with Zhen Yuanzi.

Meanwhile, just like last time, the system remained silent during the third lecture at Zixiao Palace, offering no choice or reward.

Hongyun ignored it and, seeing that Zhen Yuanzi was about to take out the Twelve-Petaled Pure White Lotus, said, "Brother, let's not use this lotus platform. This time, I'll just take you with me and fly away. We can get to Zixiao Palace sooner."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi said, "Going too early won't do any good, Hongyun, why are you in such a hurry?" However, despite saying this, Zhen Yuanzi still put away the Twelfth-Grade Pure World White Lotus.

Hongyun laughed heartily, then used his supernatural power to create a red cloud that enveloped both himself and Zhen Yuanzi before quickly flying away.

"Whether it's early or not doesn't matter. I just want to see if my speed of escape can be considered the best in the entire prehistoric world," Hongyun said to Zhenyuanzi.

Zhen Yuanzi was both amused and exasperated, but soon he was shocked by the ever-increasing speed of the red cloud.

It took him a long time to come to his senses.

"The title of 'Number One in the Primordial World' is indeed true," Zhen Yuanzi said, finally acknowledging that Hongyun's speed was unparalleled in the Primordial World.

Along the way, all the powerful figures were startled by Hongyun's incredible speed.

The two of them left all others in their dust, surpassing all the great beings, including the Three Pure Ones, as well as Di Jun, Tai Yi, and so on.

In the end, the two of them were indeed the first to enter Zixiao Palace.

However, upon entering the Zixiao Palace, the two were surprised to see that Hongjun Daozu was already sitting on the Dao platform.

The two quickly stepped forward and bowed to Hongjun, the Dao Ancestor, saying, "Disciples greet Master."
