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

Chapter 70 The Three Methods of Seeking the Dao: Seeking Chaos, for only through Chaos can one achieve Primordial Chaos.

But achieving this is truly difficult. Even Di Qing, despite relying on the blessings of the Temple of Wisdom, the Bodhi Tree, and the Jade Butterfly of Creation over the years, has still failed.

It's not that Di Qing lacks wisdom or comprehension. Rather, it's that the creation of humanity lacks the most crucial and core solution. Without resolving this issue, creation becomes impossible.

Di Qing knew that if the problem of the transformation of the human race could not be solved, the creation of the human race would be delayed indefinitely. Therefore, he decided to abandon the idea for now and create the human race later after the problem was solved.

The Immortal Venerable of Life and the Immortal Venerable of Creation, understanding Di Qing's dilemma and helplessness, said, "Clan Chief Di Qing, rest assured, we will focus on comprehending this from now on. If we gain any insights, we will inform you immediately."

"Then I'll leave things to you from now on." Di Qing forced a smile.

The Immortal Venerable of Creation nodded, but then suddenly asked, "Clan Chief Di Qing, the matter of creating the human race has come to a temporary end. We currently have some questions about cultivation; may we ask them?"

"Of course you can. However, with your cultivation level, you should have reached the peak of the half-step Hunyuan realm. So your question is about how to break through to the Hunyuan realm using the Three Methods of Severing the Dao, right?" Di Qing seemed to have known this all along.

"Yes. We used the Three Methods of Severing the Dao created by our clan leader to sever our avatars. Furthermore, we nourished them with compatible innate essences, allowing our avatars to undergo multiple transformations and reach a state of pure impurity. Next, we should unite the three elements to become the nourishment for our breakthrough to the Primordial Chaos realm."

"But the clan chief specifically instructed us back then that when we reached this final step, we shouldn't rush to break through; we needed to consult you first. So right now..."

The Immortal Venerable of Creation asked without hesitation, his gaze filled with inquiry, as if he already knew the reason why Di Qing had done this.

Following their gazes, Di Qing smiled gently, "Haha...it seems you've noticed the problem too. Yes, the three methods of severing the Dao are incomplete. And this missing part is the final part for achieving the Dao. That's why I told you back then to ask me about breakthroughs."

"As expected!" The Immortal Venerable of Life sighed slightly, her gentle voice tinged with a hint of coquettish laughter: "Clan leader, you really know how to hide things. You actually concealed such a crucial point. If that cultivator who obtained the Three Methods of Severing the Dao back then really wanted to use this method to break through, wouldn't he be..."

"Don't worry, they won't. Although the Three Methods of Severing the Dao have flaws, this method is still a supreme one. It can enable cultivators to break through the extreme of the half-step Hunyuan realm, just a hair's breadth away from achieving the Great Dao Hunyuan level. As long as they don't rely on this method to forcibly break through to the Great Dao Hunyuan realm, there won't be any problems."

"Furthermore, how could I possibly selflessly spread the method of attaining enlightenment that I painstakingly created? If other cultivators rely on this method to break through to the Primordial Chaos Realm and then use it to intimidate the Witch Clan and the Kunlun Immortal Clan, wouldn't I be creating a formidable enemy for myself?"

"To prevent my race from being threatened, I naturally have to hold back. Therefore, the Three Methods of Severing the Dao can only allow cultivators to break through to the pinnacle of the Half-Step Primordial Chaos Realm. And a large number of those at the pinnacle of the Half-Step Primordial Chaos Realm are enough to fight against the Luo Alliance. And this final method, which involves attaining the Dao, can naturally only be passed on to my own people."

Di Qing truly had no reservations whatsoever, nor did he feel the slightest guilt for concealing his method of attaining enlightenment. After all, it was all perfectly reasonable.

No one wants to bring trouble upon their race or their faction because of their own actions.

Moreover, at that time, each of the Dao Alliance's many patriarchs was a powerhouse among powerhouses. If one of them were to attain Dao, it would not be a good thing for the Witch Clan.

In order to protect the interests of the Wu Clan, Di Qing will inevitably have to reduce the number of non-Wu Clan members and the number of powerful individuals from non-Wu Clan forces.

The Immortal Venerable of Life and the Immortal Venerable of Creation understood and immediately asked, "Clan leader, what exactly is the last of the Three Methods of Severing the Dao?"

"The Three Methods of Severing the Dao are merely accumulations on the path to enlightenment. After the Three Methods of Severing the Dao come the Three Methods of Seeking the Dao. These Three Methods of Enlightenment are the key to achieving Primordial Chaos." Di Qing spoke of the Three Methods of Seeking the Dao with pride. After all, Di Qing was filled with pride in the Dao-Enlightenment technique he had created.

The Life Immortals, driven by curiosity and longing, approached Di Qing. Without any hesitation, they asked, "Clan Leader, what are the Three Methods of Seeking the Dao?"

"If we were to pinpoint the core of the Three Methods of Severing the Dao, it would be to sever a pure self, to sever a state of innate perfection. You must understand that after mastering the Three Methods of Severing the Dao, whether it is one's own path of cultivation, one's own innate origin, or the great Dao one cultivates, all will reach a state of perfection, an ultimate state."

"Yet even in such a pure, perfect, and ultimate state, it is still difficult for us to achieve the Great Dao Primordial Chaos! This requires us to ponder deeply. Is it because our cultivation is insufficient, or our accumulation is inadequate? Or is there something lacking in our innate nature, or some limitation, that makes it difficult for us to achieve the Great Dao Primordial Chaos?"

"Therefore, I created the three methods of seeking the Tao: seeking the true self from purity, seeking chaos, and seeking transformation."

At this point, Di Qing paused for a moment, seemingly melancholy or helpless, and sighed slightly, looking somewhat disappointed.

Emperor Qing's transformation further fueled the desires of the Life Immortals to understand the true meaning of the Three Methods of Seeking the Dao, and the reasons behind Emperor Qing's creation of these methods.

After sighing, Di Qing returned to the serious tone and began to explain the three methods of seeking the Dao: "The first method of seeking the Dao is to seek the true self. What is achieving the true self? This requires discussing what we truly are."

"For example, the Creation Immortal Venerable, on the surface, is the Creation Immortal Venerable. But at a deeper level, she is the embodiment of the origin of life. But from the perspective of chaos, what is she? Perhaps she is the embodiment of a wisp of life force that emerged after the birth of the primordial world. Perhaps she is the remnant of the Life Demon God. Perhaps she is the embodiment of the life force of the Great God Pangu? And this True Self is about finding one's origins, tracing one's origins, and determining how one came to be and how one evolved."

"The second of the three methods of seeking the Dao is to seek chaos. What is chaos? Chaos is the Chaos Demon God, the origin of chaos. After finding your true self, you will know your origin. Then dig into your origin, dig into your own source of chaos. And then find the aura of chaos within it."

"The third of the three methods of seeking the Dao is seeking transformation. By seeking the chaotic aura and chaotic cognition, one can transform oneself. It can be said that it draws upon the former chaos, triggers the pure self, and initiates transformation. It enables the self to achieve the Great Dao Primordial Chaos, and also enables the self to transform from a primordial being into a chaotic being."

"These three methods are the three methods for seeking the Way. They are also the methods for attaining the Way!"

When the Three Methods of Seeking the Dao were mentioned, Di Qing's dejected mood shifted again, turning into pride and elation. Especially when the core of these methods was discussed, it plunged the Creation Immortal Venerable and the others into silence and a daze.

After a long while, they came to their senses, their eyes bright yet filled with doubt: "Seeking one's own chaotic origins, then transforming oneself into a chaotic demon god, and finally achieving the Great Dao. Is this the core meaning of the Three Methods of Seeking the Dao created by Clan Chief Di Qing?"

"Indeed. The Three Methods of Seeking the Dao is an idea that arose after I saw Luo Lian single-handedly contend with many patriarchs. Perhaps innate beings are simply incapable of achieving the Great Dao Primordial Chaos. Perhaps only Chaos Demon Gods are qualified to achieve the Great Dao Primordial Chaos. Alas..." Di Qing sighed again, as if thinking of the inadequacy and helplessness of innate beings.

"This, this..." The Creation Immortal Venerable and the others were clearly speechless and astonished by Di Qing's conjecture. The Life Immortal Venerable's expression shifted, and she exclaimed incredulously, "How is this possible? Why is it that only chaotic beings can break through to the Great Dao Primordial Chaos Realm, while we innate beings struggle to cultivate to the Primordial Chaos Realm?"

"Just think of Luo Lian. Putting aside Luo Hou's actions, Luo Lian's own cultivation level far surpasses that of countless cultivators today. Yet, even with such cultivation and such a foundation, Luo Lian still struggles to achieve the Great Dao Hunyuan realm. This shows the difficulty of achieving the Great Dao Hunyuan realm, as well as the limitations and problems of us cultivators."

"However, although Luo Lian did not achieve true Great Dao Primordial Chaos, his physical body did indeed step into the Primordial Chaos Realm. This alone is enough to prove that Luo Lian has glimpsed the Great Dao Primordial Chaos Realm. And how did Luo Lian achieve his Primordial Chaos physical body? You should also know."

When Luo Lian's Primordial Body was mentioned, the Creation Immortal Venerable and the others fell silent. They had all participated in the battle back then, so they naturally knew how Luo Lian had cultivated his Primordial Body.

The Immortal Venerable of Life spoke with utmost solemnity: "Luo Lian's Primordial Body was formed by sacrificing the blood of all living beings and filling it with a chaotic blood pool refined from the flesh and blood of the Destruction Demon God, thus evolving into chaotic flesh and blood. Only after being nourished by this chaotic flesh and blood was his body able to step into the Primordial Realm."

"Yes! Even Luo Hou's physical body reached the Hunyuan realm by relying on Chaos Blood and Flesh. So what is needed to reach the Hunyuan realm in cultivation?" Di Qing's rhetorical question was like a vast thunderbolt, striking the hearts of all the cultivators. It caused them to explode and fall into a daze.
