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

Chapter 71 Innate Deficiency, Only by Forming Chaos Can the Great Dao Be Achieved; The Three Corpses Severing Technique is Born

Clearly, they were all taken aback by Di Qing's speculation. They also vaguely believed it. Di Qing continued, "I also saw Luo Lian's breakthrough to the Primordial Realm, which led me to speculate that in the Primordial World, to achieve the Primordial Realm, one must step into the Chaos."

"No matter how much a primordial being cultivates or accumulates, it is difficult to achieve the Great Dao Primordial Chaos. Even if one does achieve the Great Dao Primordial Chaos, it will inevitably be achieved through external forces and other means. Such a Great Dao Primordial Chaos can only be considered a pseudo-Primordial Chaos."

"To become a true Great Dao Primordial Being, one must transform oneself from a primordial being into a chaotic being. Of course, it may not be a perfect transformation into a chaotic being, but one must still evolve towards becoming a chaotic being and acquire some of the characteristics of a chaotic being before being qualified to break through to the Great Dao Primordial Being."

Di Qing's conjecture, aside from witnessing Luo Lian's various actions, also stemmed from his own memories of later generations. Thinking about the Primordial Chaos Realm that appeared in later generations, it seemed there wasn't a single pure Primordial Chaos Realm.

For example, Hongjun, the first cultivator to reach the Hunyuan Realm, achieved this state through the Heavenly Dao, and later even merged with the Dao himself. Strictly speaking, Hongjun can only be considered a Hunyuan cultivator of the Heavenly Dao.

The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti all relied on the Primordial Purple Qi to prove their Dao through merit, and then achieved the Primordial Chaos of Heaven.

Is the Heavenly Dao Primordial Chaos truly the Primordial Chaos of the Great Dao? Clearly not. The Heavenly Dao Primordial Chaos is subject to the Heavenly Dao; it possesses the strength of the Primordial Chaos Realm only through the Heavenly Dao. This is absolutely not the true Primordial Chaos of the Great Dao.

Therefore, Di Qing, combining the past and present, made this conjecture: only by creating chaotic beings can one achieve the Great Dao of Hunyuan.

Therefore, Di Qing created the "Three Methods of Seeking the Dao," giving innate cultivators the opportunity to find the Primordial Chaos and achieve a life form of chaos.

Silence, endless silence. The Creation Immortals were all so silent, especially as they listened to Di Qing's words and became more and more convinced of his conjecture, a sense of despair rising in their hearts.

Yes, it was despair. Clearly, with their intelligence, they had all made some guesses, especially after verifying what Di Qing said. They felt even more strongly that what Di Qing said was the truth, the reality.

But the truth is often the most terrifying, the hardest to accept, and the most despairing.

After a long while, the Creation Immortal Venerable spoke with bitterness and self-mockery: "Clan Chief Di Qing, according to your words, are we, these innate beings, destined to never even touch the Great Dao's Primordial Chaos?"

"No, although we, as innate beings, are limited and find it difficult to achieve the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos, it is not without opportunity. After all, if we trace our origins and roots, we can find ourselves connected to the Chaos God. Since we have this special connection, that is where our hope for attaining the Dao lies."

"The three methods of seeking the Way that I created are the methods to find this hope and make this hope come true. Find the true foundation, excavate the chaos from the foundation, and then transform through the foundation."

"I suspect that as long as we possess even a few characteristics of chaotic beings, we are qualified to step into the Great Dao Primordial Chaos realm without becoming complete chaotic beings. After all, Luo Lian himself was also a primordial being, and when his physical body broke through to the Primordial Chaos realm, he was not a complete chaotic being, but merely a primordial being with only a few chaotic characteristics," Di Qing reassured them.

After all, they were cultivators who had cultivated for countless years, and their Dao hearts were not so fragile. Even if they knew that achieving Dao was difficult, and even if they knew that the hope of becoming a chaotic being was slim, they still saw the path ahead and knew how to walk the road ahead.

Therefore, they looked at each other and calmed their minds: "Please, Clan Chief Di Qing, teach us the Three Methods of Seeking the Dao. We want to try to find our own origins and seek self-transformation."

"That's natural! However, the Three Methods of Seeking the Dao are my initial creations, and many aspects are not perfect, some are even conceptual. Therefore, they are extremely difficult to cultivate, especially the process of finding Chaos, which requires endless years of accumulation. So whether you can achieve the Great Dao with this method depends on yourselves." With a flick of his finger, Di Qing passed on all three methods of seeking the Dao that he had created to the Creation Immortal Venerable and the others.

They were engrossed in their contemplation, their brows furrowing slightly, clearly struggling to grasp many aspects of the method, finding it too profound and complex.

Di Qing continued, "The Three Methods of Seeking the Dao have been passed on to you. This method is also one of the few among the many methods I created that is not to be passed on to outsiders. Therefore, you must be very careful in inheriting this method."

"Don't worry, Clan Leader, we know what to do," the Life Immortals said in unison.

.........

Many years passed in this way, and the Life Immortals and the others also withdrew, preparing to go into seclusion to comprehend and seek the Three Methods of the Dao.

Di Qing watched them leave, letting out a slight sigh of relief before saying, "The Three Methods of Seeking the Dao have been spread, and the idea of ​​creating the human race has failed. It seems that the problem of the Wu Clan's reproduction will not be solved anytime soon."

"Di Qing, the problem of reproducing this clan is so difficult, so let's take it slowly, there's no need to rush!" Xuan Ming comforted him, not wanting Di Qing to bear more pressure.

Di Qing smiled slightly, understanding Xuan Ming and the others' thoughts, and then said, "Alright, I understand. Right now, I should also go into seclusion to cultivate. Being busy with these clan affairs all day long has slowed down my cultivation progress."

With that, he turned and flew towards the core of Buzhou Mountain, even entering the Pangu Temple. The Pangu Temple had long been Di Qing's exclusive cultivation method.

Houtu and Xuanming also followed, resuming their previous habits. They followed Di Qing in everything, one to protect him and the other to obey his orders at all times.

Di Qing was used to their company, and after flying into the Pangu Temple, he began to cultivate in seclusion.

The old body flew out of the main body, and Di Qing's new body cultivation also progressed from the half-step Hunyuan realm to the Quasi-Saint Great Perfection realm. Years of busyness had delayed his cultivation. As a result, while the other Ancestral Witches had all successfully severed their old bodies twice, Di Qing hadn't even managed to sever his second old body.

Di Qing activated the "Body Transformation into Earth Technique" to temper his physical body, sweeping in the boundless energy of the earth, causing his physical body to gradually transform.

...

Time flows on, and things change endlessly.

Since Di Qing devoted himself to cultivation, countless years have passed in the primordial world.

Over the course of time, the vast primordial world remained largely unchanged. It maintained the status quo, with the only difference being the increasing number of newly born cultivators, gradually restoring the number of cultivators to what it was before the conflict between the Dao and Demonic Realms.

However, while the number of cultivators gradually recovered, their cultivation levels were still far from what they had been before. In particular, the newly born cultivators were several levels lower in both aptitude and background than before.

Lacking innate inheritance and unaware of cultivation methods, they could only seek out cultivation techniques. Fortunately, two cultivation systems were widely prevalent in the present primordial world, giving newly minted cultivators, who had few other options, a choice to pursue.

The two cultivation systems are the Immortal Path system and the Buddhist Path system. Since its creation by Di Qing, the Immortal Path system has spread throughout Kunlun and scattered across the prehistoric world as Kunlun cultivators roamed it. Countless cultivators have practiced the Immortal Path system and become Immortal Path cultivators. However, without Di Qing's order, the Kunlun Immortal Clan did not accept them, so they are not considered part of the Kunlun Immortal Clan.

The Buddhist and Taoist systems spread to the West, becoming the core cultivation system for the people there. Countless cultivators seeking this system flocked to the West. The powerful figures Jieyin and Zhunti, through the Buddhist cultivation system, drew countless cultivators to the West, filling its various regions.

This allowed the sparsely populated West to gradually regain its vitality, with countless cultivators becoming Western cultivators.

With more Western monks, the amount of faith offered also increased. Furthermore, with more monks, the monks Jieyin and Zhunti began to consider transforming the West. They sought blessed lands and mountains from other places and moved them to the West to build and adorn it.

Such behavior earned them the contempt of cultivators from other places. But Jieyin and Zhunti didn't care at all; they only hoped that the West would get better and better.

However, this vast and primordial world gradually developed in this way. In the Kunlun region, within the Jade Capital Mountain.

After years of cultivation, enlightenment, and creation of laws, Hongjun finally awoke from the endless river of the Great Dao.

"Haha..." The moment Hongjun awoke, he burst into laughter, seemingly insane: "I succeeded! I created it! It is absolutely no less than, and even surpasses, the Three Methods of Severing the Dao for the attainment of Dao. Moreover, this method is more perfect and flawless than the Three Methods of Severing the Dao; it is the perfect method for attaining Dao! Haha..."

Hongjun's laughter echoed across Jade Capital Mountain, resounded from the heavens, and even reached the ears of the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao remained as indifferent and ruthless as ever: "Interesting. You actually created a method for attaining the Dao. It seems your wisdom is stronger than I imagined."

Hongjun smiled confidently, his wise gaze shining through him: "Hmph, I am, after all, a powerful figure at the Ancestor level. Cultivation is not..."

Over the years, accumulating immeasurable wisdom, it's normal that they were able to create this method.

"Then what about the methods you created?" Heaven asked in return.

"The method I created for attaining the Dao is called 'Severing the Three Corpses'! This method is similar to the Three Methods of Severing the Dao created by Emperor Qing, but my method of Severing the Three Corpses does not involve completely severing the path of the Dao and cutting off the heart of the Dao as the Three Methods of Severing the Dao..."

"Instead, it is a broader concept of 'severing the corpse.' The 'severing of the three corpses' that I created can represent one's good thoughts, evil thoughts, or obsessions. By severing them, they evolve into the good corpse, the evil corpse, and the obsession corpse."
