Primordial Era: Starting with the Immortals of the Jie Sect to Prove the Dao of Hunyuan

Chapter 105 New Insights, Simultaneously Attaining Enlightenment (The Path to Enlightenment Revealed)

Upon hearing such a secret, Li Qing was shocked and grateful that he had taken a sage as his master, otherwise he would never have known about it!

"It is difficult to sever the three corpses. To sever good thoughts, one must perform great good deeds without taking credit; to sever evil thoughts, one must experience great evil without sinking into it; to sever attachments, one must have great attachments and then let them go."

Even if all three households were wiped out, it would be even more difficult to reunite them.

Even if the three corpses are not united and integrated into one's own body, there will still be an impact in the end.

But proving one's path through force is extremely difficult, and as for proving it through merit, it's simply out of the question.

The Tongtian Sect Leader sighed, "The difficulty of becoming a Primordial Golden Immortal is beyond words!"

"However, during the years I was sealed by the Heavenly Dao, it was also the time when I had the deepest understanding of the Heavenly Dao. I discovered a new path to becoming a Primordial Golden Immortal, which I call the Dao of Laws."

The Tongtian Sect Leader's tone held a hint of emotion, perhaps this was what Hongjun Daozu wanted him to see.

In the primordial world, only he, the saint who cuts off a sliver of life for all living beings, could see the path of law!

Perhaps Hongjun Daozu also discovered it back then, but gave up for some reason, which is why he was able to inspire Tongtian Jiaozhu to see it.

"So, Xuanqiong, do you have any thoughts about your path of cultivation? Do you intend to take the safer method of severing the three corpses, wasting your current foundation, or do you have other ideas?"

"The method of severing the three corpses involves severing good thoughts, evil thoughts, and obsessions in order to purify the mind and ultimately achieve the unity of the three corpses and attain the state of Hunyuan."

But I believe that good thoughts are a part of the mind, evil thoughts are also a part of the mind, and attachments are the very foundation of the mind. Having grasped the power of the mind, I cannot sever my own path forward.

Li Qing now uses his mental power to create and destroy the world with a single thought. His cultivation, magical power, and physical body are all advancing at the same time. He can feel his strength improving every moment. How could he possibly abandon his martial arts?

"I am willing to follow the path of the Master's teachings."

Li Qing answered firmly that he could feel that this was the most suitable path for him!

"Good, I knew I hadn't misjudged you! Within the chaos, there are three thousand Great Daos. Reaching the ultimate level of any one of these Great Daos can lead to becoming a Primordial Golden Immortal."

The great god Pangu proved his Dao with force, breaking all laws with his power. This is the most domineering of the three thousand Great Daos.

To attain enlightenment through the laws, one must continuously master those laws, and ultimately merge oneself with a supreme law; the law is you, and you are the law!

"Disciple understands."

Li Qing took a deep breath, and Qingyun involuntarily unfolded, with the laws of the world transforming into a clear light that flowed around him.

As his mental energy moved, the world was born and destroyed, and his understanding of the laws of the world continued to grow stronger.

Although the Tongtian Sect Leader was unable to move, he could still sense that Li Qinggan was quite satisfied with him.

"Come here, and I will impart to you the key to attaining enlightenment through the laws!"

Since the Tongtian Sect Leader was unable to move, Li Qing stepped forward. A purple aura flew out from the Tongtian Sect Leader's eyes and landed in Li Qing's primordial spirit. The immense power of the laws crisscrossed his primordial spirit like chains.

"Find the origin of the law, break the shackles, and completely master it to become the law itself. You must take it one step at a time!"

"Yes, but this disciple also wishes to take another path at the same time."

Li Qing continued, "Prove the Dao with force, in the way that the Great God Pangu did back then, by relying on one's own strength to break through the shackles of the Heavenly Dao and prove oneself as a Primordial Golden Immortal."

"In the primordial world, proving the Dao through force is almost a pipe dream."

The Tongtian Sect Leader was slightly shocked: "Although you have cultivated the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique and the Eight-Nine Profound Technique, don't think that you can prove the Dao by force. Let me tell you the truth, even if you cultivate to the ninth revolution of the Profound Technique, you are still far from proving the Dao!"

As for attaining enlightenment, even the slightest error can lead to a vast difference in outcome. Don't be fooled by methods of physical cultivation! At least severing the three corpses has a method to follow and a path to abide by. As for attaining enlightenment through force, even your master only knows the name, not the method. You can only explore it on your own.

"I ask you, how do you intend to prove the truth by force?"

However, Li Qing is currently in the Netherworld. He is sealed in the chaos and does not know Li Qing's specific situation, so he asked Li Qing what he relied on.

"The Twelve Capitals Underworld King Banners"

Li Qing uttered these six words.

The Tongtian Sect Leader's brow twitched slightly, and he suddenly realized.

"The Twelve Capital Heavenly King Banners contain the essence and blood of the Twelve Ancestral Witches. The Witch Clan uses them to form the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, which can summon the true form of Pangu."

Li Qing's voice was steady and powerful: "My physical body is infused with the essence of Pangu, sharing the same origin as the blood and essence of the Twelve Ancestral Witches. If I can obtain those twelve banners and recreate the images of the Ancestral Witches within them, I might be able to attempt to recreate Pangu!"

"The laws of the world create the world, and then recreate the creation of heaven and earth by Pangu to prove the Dao. This is all interconnected."

After some deduction, the Tongtian Sect Leader discovered that Li Qing's plan was indeed promising.

Dijiang's space, Zhujiuyin's time, Zhurong's fire, Gonggong's water, Jumang's wood, Rushou's metal, Xuanming's rain, Qiangliang's thunder, Tianwu's wind, Xizi's lightning, Shebishi's poison, and Houtu's earth.

These twelve laws, along with the laws of Li Qing's world, also require Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the warp and weft of time and space, which facilitated his understanding of the laws of the world.

The world shattered into chaos, and the Twelve Heavenly Kings Banners reappeared as the Twelve Ancestral Witches, who then reunited as Pangu, just in time to split the chaos and create the world again.

"Alright, since you have an idea, after the decisive battle between the Lich and Demon races, I will get you the twelve Heavenly King Banners!"

The Twelve Capital Heavenly King Banners are the clan's protective artifacts. To obtain them now, one must first confront the eleven Ancestral Witches and then the Heavenly Dao. Even a sage might not be able to manage it.

But things will work out if we wait patiently. After the Lich War, things became much easier to handle.

"No need for Master to trouble himself. The Ancestral Witch Houtu has granted me a karmic debt. The weight of this karmic debt is enough for me to ask for those twelve flags after the decisive battle between the two races."

Li Qing shook his head; this was a small matter that the Tongtian Sect Leader didn't need to handle.

"Good. However, gathering all twelve Pangu Ancestral Witch imprints is only the first step. How to fuse them into one furnace without them repelling each other, and how to control the true body of Pangu without being devoured, are all unprecedented tasks."

Finally, even if you do manage to condense the true form of Pangu and prove the Dao through force, you will still have to face the suppression of the Heavenly Dao.

"I was sealed here, though it was my own doing, it was also because I defied the will of Heaven."

Li Qing said, "This disciple understands, but it must be done, even if it's difficult."

The Tongtian Sect Leader looked into Li Qing's eyes, and there was no hesitation, no fear, only a firm and almost stubborn certainty.

"You have more courage than I did when I was younger. So go for it. I'll always be there for you!"

"Since you wish to recreate Pangu, how can you possess only a physical body without a primordial spirit? Pangu's primordial spirit was divided into three parts. Your eldest and second eldest uncles each received a mark of Pangu's primordial spirit. After I escape my predicament, I will personally travel to Shouyang Mountain and Kunlun Mountain to retrieve it for you!"
