Primordial Era: Exceptional Comprehension, Destroying Buzhou Mountain at the Start

Chapter 19 The Corpse-Slaying Legend of the Primordial World: The Ancestor's Fear, the Bait for Dao Attainment, and Luo Hou's Scheme

Upon seeing this method of attaining enlightenment that had been passed down through the primordial world, Di Qing immediately thought of the method of severing the corpse in later generations.

Compared to the later methods of severing the three corpses, the methods we see today encompass much more. Yet each one is extremely incomplete.

Di Qing pondered deeply, muttering to himself, "Slaying gods, slaying the Dao, slaying the body, slaying the corpse... this seems strangely similar to the method of slaying the corpse. Perhaps Hongjun created the method of slaying the corpse based on these?"

Even Di Qing couldn't help but be tempted by the concept of the corpse-severing technique that had been passed down through generations. In fact, for many years, Di Qing had also considered creating his own corpse-severing technique. However, lacking sufficient knowledge, merely relying on the concept of the technique made it difficult to actually create it.

However, if he were to obtain some texts or intriguing methods related to the art of severing corpses, Di Qing would definitely be able to use them as a foundation, combined with his own insights into the Great Dao, to create his own version.

However, in the Kunlun Mountains, Di Qing discussed the Dao with countless patriarchs and even interacted with Patriarch Hongjun, yet he saw no trace of the Corpse-Severing Method. At that time, Di Qing believed that this Corpse-Severing Method would only be born when the Dao was preached at Zixiao Palace.

However, it seems that although the method of severing corpses was not born, its predecessor has appeared.

Di Qing gasped, feeling that the more he looked at this method, the more it resembled the precursor to the Corpse-Severing Technique. Thinking of this, a small surge of excitement inevitably rose within Di Qing.

That is the method of severing the corpse, the method of severing the corpse passed down to later generations. This method is profound. Even if it cannot lead to the attainment of Hunyuan, it is at least a path that can quickly improve oneself.

Thinking of this, Di Qing was excited and wanted to comprehend this method and create the 14 methods of severing corpses.

However, after studying it for a long time, Di Qing discovered that the method was extremely incomplete, and couldn't help but ask, "Mo Lin, is all the methods circulating outside this method this incomplete?"

"Most of them are incomplete, but there are also many differences. However, this method is scattered too much, and it is difficult to collect them all in a short time." Mo Lin did not shy away from the truth.

Upon hearing this, Di Qing felt an urge to quickly gather all the incomplete techniques. However, a chilling aura emanated from the Temple of Wisdom, instantly calming Di Qing down.

Di Qing's eyes widened, and a hint of caution immediately appeared: "No, there's something wrong. In the primordial world, all the wondrous methods related to attaining the Dao are extremely precious. How could they be spread so casually? There's something wrong here."

All his previous impulsiveness transformed into a cold wariness. Di Qing couldn't help but wonder, how did this technique appear at this time, and why did it suddenly emerge?

Secondly, who revealed this profound method, and why?

Di Qing sensed a peculiar danger and conspiracy behind this technique.

Therefore, Di Qing pondered for a long time: "Mo Lin, send your subordinates to collect the incomplete methods circulating outside. But do not trace the origin of these incomplete methods. Also, have the beast race prepare, as war may break out in the primordial world again."

Mo Lin's expression turned slightly serious, but he trusted Di Qing's words implicitly and immediately replied, "Yes, Clan Leader!"

Mo Lin withdrew, but Di Qing felt increasingly clear that Luo Lian was still behind this matter.

He sighed softly, "Luo Lian, oh Luo Lian, I still believe you're the mastermind behind all this. But you've hidden yourself so well, even possessing such a method for achieving enlightenment? Could it be your strength? No, I must perfect that secret technique as quickly as possible, otherwise, if it really is as I suspect, then things will be troublesome."

Di Qing had an idea, and immediately focused on comprehending and perfecting a special secret technique.

Di Qing remained cautious, but the many patriarchs of Buzhou Land did not share the same view.

The patriarchs of today have all obtained secret methods related to attaining enlightenment. Originally, they didn't care about such methods, but they have spread so widely that many cultivators have relied on them to break through bottlenecks. Therefore, the patriarchs naturally wanted to take a look.

Upon seeing this method, many patriarchs were also moved. Although the method was incomplete, they could all see its profound mystery and potential. In particular, after much verification by the patriarchs, they concluded that this method was truly a way to help them achieve enlightenment.

The allure of achieving enlightenment tempted many patriarchs. However, many patriarchs were not fools; in such chaotic times, they secretly hunted down numerous powerful individuals. The sudden appearance of such a method for achieving enlightenment could very well be a trap.

Therefore, many elders were cautious, while many cultivators pursued the origin of this method. The result was that many of these cultivators perished tragically. This further convinced many elders that the method was merely bait.

On one hand, there's the allure of achieving enlightenment; on the other, the threat of death. Caught in this dilemma, many patriarchs still choose to proceed cautiously. These patriarchs, who have cultivated for countless years, possess no shortage of patience. They believe that with time, all secrets will be revealed. When they are revealed, they will step forward to vie for the opportunity to achieve enlightenment.

In the blink of an eye, billions of years have passed.

Over countless millennia, the primordial world has grown increasingly chaotic. Perhaps in the search for the path to enlightenment, or perhaps due to the chaos of the past, the cultivators of the primordial world have engaged in increasingly brutal battles against each other.

During this time, many patriarchs perished. The bird and scaled races also suffered heavy losses, driving both races into madness. They suspected the witch race was behind it all, but they never saw the witch race leave Buzhou Land, nor did they see any of the beast race. They dared not venture into Buzhou Land.

They had suspected Luo Hou countless times, after all, Luo Lian was a cultivator without any moral compass. However, because of this matter, Luo Lian was forced by many patriarchs to come to the Kunlun region, right under their noses. Luo Lian was so close, and there was no one among the demons who could rival him; no one believed that Luo Lian was responsible.

Just as the entire prehistoric world was becoming increasingly chaotic, an ancestor returned, carrying a severely injured body, and fled back to the Kunlun Land. He then found many other ancestral figures and revealed a piece of news that instantly stunned the entire prehistoric world.

Immediately, the entire prehistoric world erupted in chaos, with countless cultivators and patriarchs roaring in unison, "Luo Lian, it really is you!"

Surrounded by numerous elders, Luo Lian showed no intention of defending himself. Instead, he calmly said, "Haha... I must say, you're all a bunch of useless trash. Only now do I realize the truth; I'm practically dying of laughter. All these years of acting with you, by the end I almost couldn't hold back my laughter. Today it's finally over, and I can laugh freely again. Ahahaha..."

That mocking laughter humiliated countless cultivators. Who could have imagined that the true culprit who had wreaked havoc on the primordial world for countless years and harmed countless cultivators was none other than Luo Lian before their very eyes?

Especially since Luo Lian was following them, watching their every move, yet they were completely unaware. This was utterly shameful, incredibly shameful.

The enraged cultivators were about to kill Luo Lian. But Ancestor Hongjun roared, "Luo Lian, since you are the root of all chaos, then the opportunity to attain the Primordial Chaos realm is also true?"

"Didn't you see the truth from the soul of this Ancestor Qingmu? That's right, I found a great opportunity, a hidden opportunity to attain the Primordial Dao. Unfortunately, trying to uncover this opportunity would cause too much commotion. So, the reason I stirred up the primordial world and caused so much strife is to hide this opportunity."

"To make you even more wary and believe that there is a mastermind behind all this, I didn't hesitate to scatter a few inheritances related to the path to enlightenment throughout the primordial world. This was to make you believe that it was a lure. At the same time, it made you believe that a cultivator who could casually use the path to enlightenment as bait and silently hunt down so many ancestors must be incredibly powerful."

"Given your personalities, knowing all this will undoubtedly make you extremely cautious. You'll wait until everything becomes clear before making your move to seize it."

"It is precisely because of your personalities that my plan succeeded, giving me more time."

"Now, I've explored most of the place where I can attain enlightenment. I've also gained considerable insight into the methods of achieving enlightenment. So, it's too late for you to try and find it now. Haha..."

Luo Lian did not hide anything and openly admitted it, even angrily cursing many of the elders.

Instantly, countless elders, filled with resentment, glared angrily at Luo Lian. Undoubtedly, Luo Lian was far too adept at manipulating their emotions.

Indeed, the many ancestors have cultivated for countless years and experienced countless vicissitudes since their birth, making them extremely calm and steady.

Many times, the actions of our ancestors were characterized by meticulousness and extreme caution, unlike the impulsiveness of hot-blooded youths.

This very personality allowed them to cultivate to ever greater heights. However, it also made them suspicious, causing them to miss out on many opportunities.

Luo Lian seized upon this to disrupt the primordial world and intimidate many ancestral figures. He then used the promise of inheritance to deceive them.

Such actions had truly tricked many of the patriarchs. Enraged, the patriarchs glared at Luo Lian.

"Luo Lian, you are going to die today no matter what!" the Kongtong Patriarch roared.

"Hmph... If you want to kill me, then come on. Besides, do you really think I'm the real me? This is merely an avatar." Luo Lian laughed.

"An incarnation, perhaps?" the Yin-Yang Ancestor asked in return.

"That's right, this is the avatar I manifested through the method of attaining enlightenment. This avatar is identical to myself, and even you can't tell the difference. Haha..."

Luo Lian was even more arrogant.
