Chapter 363 The Three Corpses Emerge, Bait Scattered

Duncan no longer cares.

They can kill and trample on the people of this world however they want.

However, when the Great Free Heaven Demon Lord picks up the butcher's knife and begins the great purge, it is hoped that they can bear all the consequences. After all, when Duncan said he would throw people into the Avici Hell and never let them be reborn, he really meant that people could never be reborn.

"Destroy the Shangqing faction."

"They created the Jade Emperor Daojun."

"These old Taoist priests couldn't compete with the bald monks in their missionary work, so they created the Jade Emperor, hoping to replace Haotian in the mortal world."

"As a result, the Song Dynasty was extremely cowardly. Not long after bestowing the title of Jade Emperor, the Jingkang Incident occurred."

"Let me tell you."

The three corpses kept babbling on and on, their faces full of arrogance. They scoffed at the Song Dynasty, saying, "Why don't we just kill Zhao Kuangyin too?"

"Anyway, you can take the enemy general's head from among ten thousand troops."

"You have already killed Zhao Guangyi. If you kill Zhao Kuangyin as well, the Song Dynasty will be destroyed."

"Without the support of the dynasty's destiny, those Taoist priests could not possibly be appointed as the Jade Emperor. It can be said that the nine provinces of China have been saved."

"At that time, the fate of the Central Plains will not be lost."

"After you unify the world and establish the Ming Dynasty, you will be blessed by Heaven, and the stars in the sky will illuminate the world."

"Talented people like Su Shi, Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, Fan Zhongyan, Yue Fei, and Xin Qiji will all be your subjects after they are reincarnated. In less than a hundred years, with these talents constantly emerging, it will definitely be an unprecedented golden age dynasty."

"Where the sun and moon shine, all is China."

At this point, the Three Corpses suddenly became excited, like a keyboard warrior debating with a group of scholars in later generations, clapping his hands and saying, "Yes, that's right."

"That's it."

"To hell with the Song Dynasty! The first time China lost its rule was because of this bunch of good-for-nothings."

"We, the proud descendants of Yan and Huang, once looked down upon all heroes. When have we ever lost the world?"

"The humiliation of Jingkang led to his suicide by jumping into the sea at Yaishan."

"The north was lost for hundreds of years. If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty taking it back, I would have been in deep trouble."

"If you ask me, it's that damned Jade Emperor who stole the destiny of the Central Plains. Otherwise, when has the Central Plains ever not been suppressing the nomadic tribes?"

"So many talented people emerged during the Song Dynasty."

"How did things come to this?"

Duncan frowned as he listened, glancing at the Three Corpses and saying, "Don't forget the Five Barbarian Invasions."

"Nomadic peoples have a period of dominance in the course of history."

The Three Corpses remained unconvinced, stubbornly retorting, "So what? Didn't the Han Dynasty still suppress the Xiongnu?"

The Three Kingdoms period.

"Any warlord could easily defeat the nomadic tribes so badly that they wouldn't dare utter a sound."

“Take a look at the period after the Jin Dynasty.”

"damn it."

"Sima Yi's descendants are also a bunch of useless people. The Three Kingdoms period exhausted the heroic spirit, and the Jin Dynasty was full of rats!"

The Three Corpses get particularly excited when talking about history, cursing and swearing about the Five Barbarian Invasions, belittling the Wei, Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties as worthless. In his eyes, only the unified dynasties of the Central Plains can be praised, and apart from the Han and Tang Dynasties, only the Qin Dynasty can excite him a little.

Duncan didn't even bother to respond. It's a historical pattern: what goes up must come down. The periods of dominance of nomadic peoples in history were terrifying. The Han Dynasty also suffered heavy losses when it fought the Xiongnu.

"Don't you also have plans with the Qiyan tribe on the Mongolian grasslands?"

"Let's just unify the Mongol tribes in the name of the Eternal Heaven."

"Horses trample the Central Plains, marching south to capture the dragon."

"You can be Genghis Khan too."

At this point, the Three Corpses, with an air of arrogance, pointed north and said, "First destroy the Liao Kingdom, then the Northern Song Dynasty, from north to south, and then conquer the Western Regions."

"Let's go and compete with the Arab Empire!"

"Let them know who the King of Kings really is!"

"In my opinion, you are just being too soft-hearted. If you had followed the same methods you used in the West, you would have made them kneel down and submit long ago."

"Back then, you stood your wheels upright and used them to cut down the Vandals."

"I've never seen you so soft-hearted before!"

At this point, the Three Corpses got excited again and said, "If you ask me, what's the point of standing the wheels up? Just lay them flat and chop them down."

"Back then, when you wiped out the Vandals, you saved yourself so much trouble."

"Even the Pope was scared to death."

The three corpses seemed to be reminiscing, with an expression like Xiang Yu holding a wine cup, completely intoxicated, muttering, "Why do you care about the lives of other people? When will people stop dying?"

"Kill them all, kill anyone who disagrees."

Who in the world can stop you?

"If Xiang Yu hadn't been so stupid, he could have beaten Liu Bang to a pulp."

"You have both strength and brains."

"Why be soft-hearted?"

"Just kill them all and that will solve the problem."

Duncan had almost forgotten his immature self from his youth. Looking at the three corpses beside him, he couldn't help but twitch his lips and coldly rebuked, "Shut up."

"We've arrived at Gezao Mountain."

Upon hearing this, the three corpses shuddered and lowered their heads, saying, "Oh."

He is Duncan's former self. Because he is the former self, he knows how terrifying the current Duncan is, not to mention that he also has the face of a god of war and slaughter.

A normal Three Corpses would be very lively, but he was very cowardly.

But aside from facing Duncan, the Three Corpses were extremely arrogant. He was the one who shouted the loudest, saying that he would flatten Longhu Mountain and drag Zhang Tianshi out to beat him up.

The figure of the black dragon descended from the sky.

The Three Corpses glanced at the dilapidated Taoist temple on Gezao Mountain and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "How did the Lingbao Sect end up in such a miserable state?"

Duncan said calmly, "After the Tang Dynasty, no great masters have emerged from the Lingbao Sect."

"It seems that the Jade Emperor's affairs have nothing to do with them."

His Majesty never bothers poor people.

The Lingbao School advocates that practitioners should not only seek personal immortality, but also use this opportunity to help others do good deeds and attain enlightenment, thus saving all sentient beings.

On Mount Gezao, a dozen or so Taoist priests were packing their belongings and carrying medicine boxes down the mountain. The old Taoist priest in the lead was not highly skilled, but he had some merit. He handed several volumes of Taoist books to his disciples and gave them some instructions on how to deal with plagues and diseases.

The Lingbao School originated from Ge Hong, who authored "Elbow-Side Emergency Prescriptions" and made significant contributions to medicine.

However, most people know about "Baopuzi".

"Judging from their appearance, they seem to be planning to go down the mountain to treat and save people."

"This lineage of Daoism seems to be quite good."

The Three Corpses rested their chins on their hands, their murderous intent lessening. The Celestial Masters' Sect of Longhu Mountain possessed countless fertile fields and a luxuriously constructed Celestial Master's Mansion, so their calls for violence were not excessive. However, the Taoist temples here were quite dilapidated, and it felt somewhat inappropriate for them to engage in such violence.

Duncan ignored him and rode away on his dragon, saying indifferently, "Not everyone in the three talisman sects deserves to die."

The Three Corpses remained defiant, continuing, "What about the Divine Firmament Sect?"

"The Jade Emperor of later generations was created by them, so it wouldn't be unreasonable to kill them all, would it?"

Duncan said calmly, "The Divine Firmament Sect has not yet been established."

"Moreover, the founder of the Shenxiao Sect was Wang Wenqing, a highly accomplished Taoist master, a grandmaster of thunder magic, and a man of virtue and merit."

"It was Lin Lingsu who tricked Emperor Huizong of Song into believing that he was the reincarnation of the Eternal Emperor."

"He was also the one who conferred the titles of immortal officials upon Cai Jing, Tong Guan, and others. Historical records show that the Shenxiao Palace forcibly seized farmland from the people, and the Taoist priests all lived in luxury. They were all Taoist priests of the Lin Lingsu lineage."

The three corpses were stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

But he still forced himself to say, "Then at least all the Taoists of Lin Lingsu's lineage must be killed."

"Correct."

"And then there's the Shangqing Sect; they're the ones who created the Jade Emperor Daojun."

Duncan glanced at the three corpses indifferently and said calmly, "Don't you like killing?"

"Mount Mao is just ahead."

“I will use my cultivation to condense a primordial spirit and lend you an external avatar.”

"Go."

The Three Corpses were overjoyed upon hearing this and clapped their hands, saying, "Excellent!"

"I'll show you what I'm capable of!"

As he spoke, a wisp of Duncan's primordial spirit separated, transforming into a hazy humanoid outline. Then, he infused it with his true essence, revealing the appearance of an external avatar, similar to a Yin spirit.

The three corpses were overjoyed and immediately fled into it.

He sensed the cultivation level of this external avatar and, as if he had gained freedom, stepped into the air, reached out and grabbed at the sky. The next second, a bolt of lightning struck the gate of Maoshan. This was the lightning technique of the Taiping Dao.

The primordial spirit avatar that Duncan separated possessed roughly the strength of the Dao Realm, no weaker than Fan Hu Zi back then.

Rumble!
Thunderbolts fell from the sky.

The Three Corpses forcefully stormed the Shangqing Sect's mountain gate, and judging from his appearance, he seemed intent on wreaking havoc.

Duncan stood still.

After an unknown amount of time, the commotion inside gradually subsided. He patted the dragon horn of the black dragon, then descended from the sky, his gaze calmly sweeping over the corpses scattered on the ground. He then looked at the three corpses, their brows furrowed, holding a blood-stained longsword, their palms gathering lightning magic, their expressions hesitant as they stared at a group of crying children.

The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period had been turbulent for a long time.

The Maoshan sect took in many homeless children. Some were brought into the Taoist sect as disciples, while others were raised to adulthood and then sent down the mountain to find their own way to survive.

The three corpses were initially very enthusiastic and wanted to go on a killing spree, but as they killed, they found it hard to bring themselves to do it.

This was different from his expectation of a massive, devastating victory.

If the Three Corpses truly destroy the Shangqing lineage today, Duncan will have to destroy the Three Corpses in front of him one day, because his true self, no matter how many flaws he has, is at least not someone who likes to kill innocent people indiscriminately.

"Let's go."

Duncan waved his hand gently, withdrawing the cultivation of his primordial spirit avatar. The three corpses, no longer possessing the Yin spirit body, transformed back into his old self within his sea of ​​consciousness.

He left behind a decree, and the black dragon soared into the sky.

The Three Corpses stood on the clouds, looked down at the corpses scattered on the ground, then looked up at Duncan and asked, "I can't bring myself to kill, and you don't even laugh at me?"

Soft-hearted and cowardly, no matter how fiercely they shout, they can't bring themselves to wield the butcher's knife.

Duncan said calmly, "What's so funny?"

"Back in the small village of Pannonia, when I fought off those fleeing soldiers all by myself, I was almost scared to death."

"That half-armored knight almost killed me."

The Three Corpses seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but chuckle. They sat on the back of the Ink Dragon and said, "You almost ate human flesh back then."

Duncan stared blankly into the distance.

The Three Corpses looked up at Duncan, who was standing against the wind in front of them, and sighed for some reason, saying, "I used to think that if you weren't good enough, I could do it too."

"But it seems that may not be the case now."

Duncan ignored him.

He patted the dragon's horns, turned around, and flew off in the other direction.

The three corpses asked curiously, "Where are we going?"

Duncan calmly said, "Go to Jingnan."

"Didn't you say you were going to kill Zhao Kuangyin?"

"Didn't you think my solo charge into battle back then was nothing special? Now I'll lend you some of my cultivation, so you can experience what it truly means to be invincible against ten thousand men!"

Upon hearing this, the three corpses looked excited, then a hint of suspicion appeared on their faces as they asked, "You would be so kind?"

"Are you trying to trap me again?"

Duncan smiled and said calmly, "Back then, I was wearing light armor and broke through enemy lines alone. If I had been careless, I would have died in the chaos of battle."

"Even during the Battle of Shalon, I was wounded dozens of times a day and bled profusely in battle."

"Then they embarked on a long-distance pursuit of the Scourge of God, fighting until they were almost exhausted."

"The general's personal guard who followed me back then."

"Of those who survived to see me ascend the throne, less than one in a hundred remained."

"Today I will lend you some of my cultivation to help you condense your protective true energy and impart your innate six senses, so that you can experience the battlefield with your cultivation at the Dao Realm level."

"Are you scared?"

What's there to be afraid of!

The Three Corpses looked eager to try. After calculating in his mind, he looked up and asked, "Are you really going to give me protective true energy?"

Duncan nodded and said, "Here you go."

The Three Corpses then asked, "You also imparted to me the innate six senses of the Dao Realm?"

Duncan nodded again and said, "Here you go."

The three corpses, shameless and with a somewhat roguish expression, grinned and said, "How about you teach me the Heavenly Demon Undying Body again? Or teach me some of the divine powers of the Blood God Great Art?"

"No matter how many people there are, I won't be afraid."

Duncan glanced at him speechlessly and said calmly, "You turned the past into an illusion, trapping my mind."

"I enter your past illusions."

"With nothing, I, a mere mortal, relive the battles along this path."

"how?"

"Today I will give you an incarnation in the human world?"

"You don't even have the courage to try? You actually want me to teach you the Heavenly Demon Undying Body and the Blood God Technique?"

"Should I summon the Oath Keepers for you as well?"

Upon hearing this, the Three Corpses shamelessly replied, "It's not that it's impossible! It's more fun to mow down enemies on the battlefield!"

"Forget about the oath keepers."

"Why don't you summon the Sword of Excalibur and let me use it?"

Was I really that shameless back then?

Duncan rubbed his forehead and casually slapped the phantom of the Three Corpses away. He used to think that Fan Huzi's behavior as the Three Corpses created by the Jade Emperor Daojun was outrageous, but looking at his own Three Corpses today, he felt that they were even more outrageous.

"Don't! Don't! Don't!"

"Don't do it."

"Let's talk this out. If you don't want to give it to me, then don't."

When the Three Corpses saw Duncan about to make a move, they immediately backed down and shouted, "Just lend me a little bit of your cultivation. You just want me to experience the path you walked back then, don't you?"

"I don't want Excalibur anymore."

"I don't need the Heavenly Demon Immortal Body, just give me my protective true energy!"

Speaking of which.

The three corpses' expressions gradually turned serious. They stared intently at Duncan before them and slowly said, "Do you really want to become one with me?"

"Instead of killing me?"

"You must know that by cutting off your old self, you can see your true self. If you cut off your old self, you will have the opportunity to attain enlightenment."

"Perhaps he can become a saint!"

Duncan calmly replied, "I am the King of Kings."

Upon hearing this, the three corpses murmured, "That's right."

"King of Kings".

"The emperor was granted the title of human emperor and bestowed divine titles upon deities."

"You don't cultivate immortality."

Duncan stared at the three corpses before him, let out a soft sigh, and said slowly, "I've always been generous to everyone else."

"Does it mean that we should completely destroy our old selves?"

The Three Corpses trembled and looked up, saying, "Even if I am transformed from the Three Corpses?"

Duncan nodded and said, "Yes."

"Even if you are the embodiment of the Three Corpses."

Imperfect people are human, and only humans can become emperors.

The immortal cultivator's practice of severing the three corpses and eliminating the five thieves, with the will of Heaven replacing the heart of man, is not Duncan's path. The appearance of his three corpses was also an accident. If someone hadn't stolen the secrets of Heaven and plotted against him, Duncan wouldn't have paid any attention to all that. Perhaps he would have enjoyed himself in the mortal world and then left this world on his own.

The Three Corpses stared blankly at Duncan before them, their expressions inscrutable, and said, "What if I never accept your authority?"

Duncan said calmly, "One day, you'll be convinced."

"Go."

"Pacify Jingnan for me."

With a casual wave of his hand, Duncan's primordial spirit condensed into a wisp of Yin spirit incarnation, infusing it with a bit of cultivation, and the figures of the Three Corpses descended from the sky.

This time it's a true God's-eye view.

Duncan's figure stood proudly above the clouds, riding a true dragon, looking down at the three corpses below.

The authority of dimensional space can carry consciousness into a human body, and Duncan today also possesses some of the supernatural powers of creation. His primordial spirit can be divided to condense external avatars, and he can also create souls to be reincarnated. This is the cycle of tribulations in the Eastern cultivation system, and it is also the cultivation level of the immortal realm.

The Three Corpses thought that killing could solve all problems, but Duncan had already killed enough in the past.

But for some reason, the Three Corpses suddenly had the illusion that they had been tricked again.
