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

Chapter 48: Severing the Body, Severing the Flesh, Severing the Dao, Severing the Great Dao, Severing the Witchcraft, Severing the Witch Blood

As they pondered, the excitement in their eyes grew even stronger: "The Method of Severing One's Body to Understand the Dao. This method is truly real, truly..."

Di Jiang was so excited he couldn't speak, clearly captivated by the method created by Di Qing. He also saw the profound mystery of the Body-Severing Enlightenment Method.

Di Qing also sighed slightly, recalling the past: "The Method of Severing the Body to Understand the Dao, like the Three Methods of Severing the Dao, is also divided into three methods. One of the Methods of Severing the Body to Understand the Dao is the Method of Severing the Body. The core of this method is to sever one's own physical body."

"Our Wu clan possesses an innate strength in physical bodies, but this strength is so great that it causes many problems. Because our physical bodies are extremely strong from the moment we are born, our Wu clan lacks the cultivation process of starting from scratch and the experience of tempering our bodies little by little."

"Although with the powerful physical bodies of our Witch Clan, lacking these 'four-three-three' elements is not a problem at all. However, it is precisely the lack of these elements that makes it difficult for our Witch Clan's physical bodies to surpass the limits of our bloodline, and also makes it difficult to achieve the Primordial Unity of the Physical Body."

"After all, the foundation of our Wu clan's physical body is innate, not something we create ourselves. Continuing to cultivate and grow on this innate foundation will inevitably be influenced by it."

"Therefore, the core of the 'body-severing technique' is to sever the foundation one is born with, and then rely on oneself to temper the body little by little, grow little by little, and then accumulate strength to reach the peak."

"This, this is somewhat similar to what the Three Pure Ones said back then." Houtu listened and, combining her own understanding, suddenly recalled the scene when she first went out with Di Qing and encountered the Three Pure Ones.

Di Qing smiled slightly and nodded at Houtu: "That's right. Back then, the Three Pure Ones told me that although they possessed innate powerful cultivation after taking human form, that cultivation all came from their innate inheritance, not from their own arduous cultivation. To break through the bottleneck, they needed to sever their innate cultivation, create their own cultivation method, and then cultivate anew. Only in this way could they advance further."

"After all, every cultivator's path of cultivation is different. And each cultivator's path of cultivation is unique, only by walking it themselves can it truly belong to them."

"Actually, after returning from Kunlun that year, I thought about severing all my innate cultivation and powerful physique, and then starting all over again. Unfortunately, the threat from Luo Lian and many other matters required us to maintain our strength, so I gave up on this idea."

"But things are different now. Luo Lian has been suppressed, and there are no obvious external threats in the Primordial World. Our Wu Clan can now rebuild with peace of mind."

Upon hearing this, many members of the Wu tribe nodded in agreement, showing their strong support for Di Qing's explanation.

However, Di Qing continued, "The second step of the Body-Severing Clarification Method is the Dao-Severing Method. Although this method is also called the Dao-Severing Method, it does not sever a pure path of Dao. Rather, it relies on this method to sever the Great Dao propagated by our bloodline."

"We, the Witch Clan, not only possess innately powerful physical bodies, but also innate Dao principles. These Dao principles arise spontaneously through the propagation of our bloodline, requiring no comprehension whatsoever; we simply possess them. While our Witch Clan can certainly control these Dao principles acquired in this way, is this kind of Dao, directly imprinted through bestowal, truly good? Is it truly suitable for us? Does it truly belong to us?"

"Di Qing, what do you mean by that? From the moment we are born, the Great Dao within our Wu clan is perfectly integrated with us. We are the Great Dao, and the Great Dao is us. Take Zhu Rong, for example, who was born with the Great Dao of Fire. Moreover, Zhu Rong's personality and temperament are all in line with the Great Dao of Fire. It can be said that every one of us in the Wu clan is an embodiment of the Great Dao, and every one of us is perfectly in harmony with the Great Dao. There is absolutely no need for..." Shebi Shi said with a hint of doubt.

Zhu Jiuyin and Di Jiang remained calm, responding to Shebishi's doubts by saying, "Shebishi, Di Qing is actually right. From the moment we are born, our Wu clan is endowed with the Great Dao. And although this endowed Great Dao suits us, we did not choose it! Especially this compatibility—is it the Great Dao that suits us, or we that suit the Great Dao, or are we forcibly suited by the Great Dao?"

"This..." Shebi Shi and the others fell silent, clearly having too many options when faced with this problem.

Yes, from the moment the Witch Clan gained intelligence, the Great Dao within their bloodline began to flourish. By sensing the Great Dao within their bloodline, they gradually transformed into the Great Dao, gradually becoming one with it. This transformation—is it the Great Dao influencing us, causing us to lose ourselves, and ultimately shaping the character and form of the Great Dao?

Or perhaps the bloodline of the Witch Clan, based on our character and understanding, has subsequently developed a Great Dao that suits us.

At this moment, no one can say for sure what to do with these two concepts.

Di Qing had anticipated the silence: "It's because our Witch Clan had already propagated the Great Dao before our birth, leaving us with no choice. That's why I created the Body-Severing Enlightenment Method and the Dao-Severing Method, to sever the Great Dao imprinted on our own bloodline, making our bloodline pure. Then we can choose for ourselves whether to continue cultivating the Great Dao we were born with or to choose to cultivate other Great Daos."

"This choice, which allows our Wu tribe to make its own decisions, is invaluable to our Wu tribe." Dijiang was both cautious and expectant.

Di Qing nodded, then continued, "The third step of the Body-Severing Enlightenment Technique: The Severing of the Witches! This technique is not aimed at the Witch Clan, but at our own bloodline. The greatest pride of our Witch Clan is that we are descendants of the Father God Pangu, formed from the essence and blood of the Father God Pangu."

"It can be said that the most precious thing about our Wu clan is our bloodline originating from the Father God Pangu. And the Slaying Wu Technique is to sever one's own Wu clan bloodline, to sever one's most precious thing."

"This..." Upon hearing this, even the most composed Zhu Jiuyin couldn't help but fall into a solemn state: "Di Qing, you created the Body-Severing Enlightenment Technique, first severing the core physical body of our Wu Clan's strength! Then severing the Great Dao inherent in our bloodline! Finally severing the bloodline we are so proud of! With these three severings, what will our Wu Clan have left?"

"It seems that after all these things are cut off, our Witch Clan will only have our true spirits left. Then, will our Witch Clan still be the Witch Clan?" Qiangliang also wondered...

Upon hearing this, Di Qing laughed: "Zhu Jiuyin is right. After mastering the Body-Severing Enlightenment Technique, our Wu Clan will truly have nothing left. However, I never said that I would completely eradicate all three."

"The Body-Severing Technique requires severing all the powerful physical cultivation. The Dao-Severing Technique requires severing all the Dao imprinted in one's bloodline. The Witch-Severing Technique is to sever one's own bloodline, but this bloodline will not be severed completely; rather, it will only sever the impurities that have proliferated within the bloodline."

"Our ancestral witch bloodline is considered the purest among the witch clan. However, compared to the essence of our father god's blood, our bloodline is like an impurity. Cultivating the Slaying Witch Technique removes all impurities from our bloodline, or what we perceive as impurities. What remains is the purest bloodline."

"So that's how it is! I understand now. The core of this Body-Severing Enlightenment Technique is to sever all the cultivation of our Witch Clan, our Great Dao of the Witch Clan, and to sever all the impurities in our bloodline. The remaining purest essence and blood, along with the true spirit, will return to its previous unformed state. Then, we will cultivate and transform once more!" Zhu Jiuyin comprehended the technique, his eyes shining as he understood its core.

"Indeed, from our birth to the present day, our Wu clan has undergone arduous cultivation and great battles, resulting in a qualitative change in our physical bodies and a sublimation of our strength. This has driven the propagation of the Great Dao and the tempering of our bloodline. Now, after the impurities of our tempered bloodline are removed, the purest bloodline remains transforms into new Wu clan essence blood, which is then reborn and re-formed along with our true spirit. In terms of bloodline and aptitude, we, the newly born ones, far surpass those before."

"Of course, that explanation might be a bit complicated. Simply put, it's about cutting off the old body and creating a new one. Then, you rebuild yourself with the new body and become even stronger."

"Our current physical bodies are the old bodies. After mastering the Body-Severing and Dao-Enlightening Technique, we will condense the purest bloodline from the old bodies to evolve into new bodies, reshape ourselves, and cultivate anew! I understand, I understand." Zhu Rong's eyes shone with excitement.

Di Qing smiled and said, "That's right. Sever the old body and condense a new one. The birth of the new body will also be an opportunity for our Wu Clan to make a new choice. How you choose is up to you. Of course, perhaps in the process of the new body's evolution, pure bloodlines will still propagate the same Great Dao. If that's the case, then there's nothing I can do."

"Secondly, the severed old body, although lacking a true spirit, resembles a powerful puppet. However, it can..."

The old system can be transformed into a powerful force, or it can be transformed into a tool for destruction. In short, the old system has many ingenious uses!

Dijiang and the others nodded, their minds filled with many thoughts, especially about how to cultivate the Body-Severing Enlightenment Technique.

Di Qing saw through their thoughts and immediately said, "Brothers, choose one first, and then cultivate this method here. Let's see how effective the Body-Severing Enlightenment Method is!"
