The prehistoric infrastructure maniac

Chapter 40 Beheading the Corpse
The other powerful cultivators with the Golden Immortal level of cultivation in Zixiao Palace couldn't help but look at Shi Mo with some envy.

They didn't expect that gaining merit would have such benefits.

Even though one’s cultivation level is the weakest after becoming a saint through merit, it is still a way to become a saint, and it seems to be the easiest to succeed.

"Don't think too much. No matter what method is used, as long as I can become a saint, it's fine. Becoming a saint is the key! No. The most important thing now is to behead the corpse as soon as possible and become a quasi-saint," Shi Mo quickly calmed down.

"May I ask how the Taoist became a saint?" Tongtian suddenly asked curiously.

In an instant, everyone in the hall was shocked and looked at Hongjun with burning eyes.

Glancing at Tongtian, Hongjun said calmly, "The Three Corpses Become Saints!"

"Daozu, I wonder if I, Di Jun, can become a saint?" Di Jun asked directly with his eyes burning as if golden flames.

"You still want to become a saint? What good things are you dreaming of?" Shi Mo glanced at Di Jun and sneered in his heart.

Hongjun glanced at him and said calmly, "Under the laws of nature, there is always a glimmer of hope. Whether you can do it or not is all due to chance!"

Di Jun frowned upon hearing this. What difference does it make whether he said this or not? It's all just bullshit!
"Don't you understand this? It means you are not destined to become a saint!" Shi Mo laughed secretly when he saw this.

"Excuse me, Taoist Ancestor, can my Wu clan follow the path of Father Pangu to prove the truth through force?" Di Jiang, the leader of the twelve ancestral witches of the Wu clan, couldn't help but ask.

"Under the Way of Heaven, everyone has the opportunity to achieve enlightenment and become a saint, and the Wu clan is no exception. However, achieving enlightenment through strength depends on fate."

Hongjun's answer immediately made Dijiang's eyes light up, and the other ancestors of the witch clan were also surprised.

"Hongjun, please don't fool around. Are you afraid that they don't have ambition and won't die fast enough?" Shi Mo was speechless when he heard this.

These twelve ancient witches were really simple-minded. Hongjun's casual words gave them hope and they no longer cared about the difficulty of proving the truth by force.

They also don’t think about it. If there really is a chance to prove the truth and become a saint through force, why would Hongjun choose the method of becoming a saint through the Three Corpses?
Next, without waiting for anyone to ask more questions, Hongjun began to explain in detail the three methods of attaining enlightenment.

Among them, Hongjun only briefly mentioned the method of proving the truth with force, and mainly talked about the method of becoming a saint by beheading the three corpses. He explained in particular how to behead the three corpses of good, evil and self.

It was not until the end of this sermon that Hongjun spent a relatively short time explaining the method of becoming a saint through merit.

In fact, there is nothing much to say about becoming a saint through merit. It is basically the same as becoming a saint by beheading the three corpses.

However, after reaching the peak level of quasi-saints, cultivators with great merits can gain the recognition of the Heavenly Dao, making it easier for the three corpses to unite into one, and naturally they can achieve enlightenment and become saints.

As for how to gain merit, even the most powerful cultivators in the prehistoric world still have only a vague understanding of it. To become a saint through merit, they don't know how much merit they need to accumulate.
As for proving the truth with force, forget it! Therefore, the method of beheading the three corpses to become a saint seems to be everyone's only best choice.

To kill the three corpses, one needs to rely on innate spiritual treasures, innate spiritual roots or spiritual materials.

The higher the quality of the innate items used, the more profound the magical power of the three corpse clones will be, the stronger their foundation will be, the greater their hope of achieving sainthood in the future, and the higher their spiritual power will be after becoming a saint. Therefore, after learning the conditions for beheading the three corpses, except for those powerful cultivators who have no shortage of spiritual treasures, most cultivators developed a greedy desire for innate spiritual treasures and spiritual materials.

It can be imagined that in order to prove their truth by killing corpses, there will definitely be many cultivators in the coming prehistoric times who will fight for the innate things at all costs.

Especially those Daluo Jinxian who already have the hope of beheading the corpse, they are definitely more determined to obtain the innate things.

Shi Mo naturally had no shortage of innate things for beheading corpses. After leaving Zixiao Palace and returning to the prehistoric world, he separated from Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi and returned to Jiuding Tiecha Mountain to meditate in seclusion.

Inside the cave, Shi Mo, who was sitting cross-legged on the jade platform, was hesitant and frowning as he thought:

"I have now reached the peak of Daluo cultivation and can become a Quasi-Sage at any time by beheading corpses. However, should I take the path of beheading the three corpses or prove the truth through force?"

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore! No matter which path I take, improving my strength and realm is the most important thing. It's not a bad idea to take both paths at the same time." Shi Mo quickly made up his mind, took a deep breath and looked expectantly:

"Now, relying on the support of the Chaos Gods and Demons, I have diligently tempered my body. Under the tempering of vast amounts of earth vein spiritual energy and the power of the stars in the sky, I am no less powerful than the Ancestral Witch. I can even gain a bonus in strength by using the chaotic energy in the chaos. It is difficult to quickly improve the physical body in a short period of time."

"So, let me chop off the corpse first and become a quasi-saint!" Thinking of this, Shi Mo closed his eyes and calmly pondered the method and trick of chopping off the corpse.

Time passed quietly. Only a few months later, Shi Mo opened his eyes and pondered for a moment. Then, an idea moved his mind. A sword light fell from the top of Babao Peak and fell into Shi Mo's hand, turning into a magic sword with flowing starlight. It was the Zhoutian Xingyun Sword.

"Now, the Zhoutian Xingyun Sword has been tempered by the power of the Zhoutian stars. Its power has surpassed many high-grade innate spiritual treasures and is close to the ultimate innate spiritual treasures. Moreover, it was refined from the jade fragments of my original body, which is the most compatible with me. It is the best choice to kill the good corpse."

Holding the Zhoutian Xingyun Sword, Shi Mo hesitated for a moment and then threw it up. Then, with a thought, the five energies surrounded his chest, clouds surged above his head, and the faint mysterious luster gathered and transformed into three golden lotuses that contained the mystery of the origin of Tao.

Swish. The Zhoutian Xingyun Sword lit up, and a sword light directly slashed towards one of the golden lotuses. Then, the somewhat illusory golden lotus turned into a golden light, fell to the side and turned into an illusory and blurry figure.

Buzz. The Zhoutian Xingyun Sword vibrated slightly, and an increasingly dazzling and mysterious light was projected towards the figure.

Suddenly, the originally illusory and blurry figure began to solidify and become clear at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a mysterious and powerful aura wave also spread from its body.

The next moment, that figure transformed into a young Taoist wearing a starry Taoist robe, his body sparkling with starlight, his skin radiating a jade-like luster, and his eyes as bright as galaxies, as if he understood the mysteries of the movement of the stars in the sky.

"From now on, I, the incarnation of the Good Corpse, will be called Taoist Xingyun," Shi Mo said with a satisfied nod and a smile as he looked at the incarnation of the Good Corpse.

Taoist Shanshi Xingyun also bowed to Shi Mo and said with a smile: "Xingyun greets the deity!"

"Haha. Come on!" Shi Mo said with a chuckle, and his mind moved. The incarnation of the good corpse, Taoist Xingyun, had already entered his body.

Feeling the surging and powerful quasi-saint power in his body, Shi Mo closed his eyes and carefully sensed it. Soon, he opened his eyes with a look of joy:
"I didn't expect that after beheading the Good Corpse, my incarnation of the Good Corpse could comprehend the mysteries of the earth and the stars in the sky more clearly. No wonder the comprehension of the Quasi-Sage and Saint realms can improve so quickly."
