Primordial Era: Innate gourd vine, self-dismemberment

Moreover, due to the limitations of his cultivation level, he has not yet deduced and created the part about the fusion of the three corpses.

At this time, a simplified version of the Three Corpses Severing Technique was created through deduction, but Yuan Yan did not immediately use it to sever the three thoughts of good, evil, and attachment, entrusting them to innate spiritual treasures, innate spiritual roots, or innate spiritual objects, and transforming them into independent Three Corpses Dao bodies.

It's not that he doesn't have enough innate spiritual treasures or roots to entrust to his Three Corpse Dao Body, nor is it that he can't understand the nature of his own good, evil, and attachments.

He did this because he planned to combine some ideas from his previous life to deduce a method that was more suitable for him to cultivate an independent Dao body, and to see if these methods could be combined with the method of severing the three corpses.

If possible, even if Hongjun becomes a saint in the future, preaches in Zixiao Palace, and passes down the method of severing the three corpses, he will still have a huge advantage when facing his peers who are innate saints.

Immediately, Yuan Yan once again immersed himself in enlightenment and deduction.

Because of the simplified version of the Three Corpses Severing Technique as a framework, and because he already had ideas and directions, in less than two Yuanhui, Yuan Yan deduced and created three different but similar methods for cultivating an independent Dao body.

The first method is to sever the three bodies in the past, present, and future. This method involves first casting a spell to summon the past body, present body, and future body, and then entrusting them to innate spiritual treasures, innate spiritual roots, and innate spiritual objects to transform them into independent Dao bodies.

Although this independent Dao body can exist in the world for a long time, it is constantly subjected to the backlash of the river of time. Unless it disregards its own origin and erupts, it is difficult to exert more than 80% of its strength in normal times.

Moreover, to cultivate this method, it is best to focus on the Great Dao of Time. Otherwise, as one's strength increases, the backlash will become stronger, and the power that the three incarnations can exert will become weaker and weaker, even to the point of being destroyed.

Secondly, the method of severing the three selves is an improved version of the method of severing the three worlds.

The Heaven-Covering Technique contains three selves: the past self, the original self, and the Dao self! These represent the past self, the present self, and the future self.

However, it is neither a past body, present body, nor future body. Even if it is condensed and entrusted to innate spiritual treasures or innate spiritual roots to form an independent Dao body, it will not suffer the backlash of the river of time.

Thirdly, the simplified version of the Three Demon Slaying Technique involves understanding one's own seven emotions, six desires, and inner demons, severing them and entrusting them to innate spiritual treasures or innate spiritual roots to transform into an independent Dao body.

The reason for using the simplified version prefix is ​​that in his deduction, there is also an upgraded version, similar to the Hongjun version of the Three Corpses Severing Technique.

Not only must one understand, but one must also see through things; the two are similar in principle.

Moreover, among these three methods that can cultivate an independent Dao body, the second method, the method of severing the three selves, can be combined with the method of severing the three corpses or the method of severing the three demons.

This superposition doesn't mean he can simultaneously cultivate the methods of severing the three selves and severing the three corpses/severing the three demons.

Instead, he cultivates the method of severing the three selves, severing the departed self, the original self, and the Dao self. After that, both the original self and the three selves can cultivate the method of severing the three corpses or the method of severing the three demons.

However, the methods of severing the three corpses and severing the three demons conflict with each other. Although the three thoughts of good and evil are not entirely the same as the seven emotions and six desires of the heart demons, they are similar in essence and cannot be cultivated at the same time, let alone in combination.

After pondering for a moment, Yuan Yan decided to first cultivate the method of severing the three selves and cut off the three selves.

As for the methods of slaying the three corpses or slaying the three demons, which can be combined with the method of slaying the three selves, they will be postponed for now.

Firstly, the treasure upon which the independent Dao body is entrusted determines the foundation, potential, and comprehension of the independent Dao body.

He didn't have that many high-quality innate spiritual treasures or innate spiritual roots. Rather than carelessly severing his Dao Body with limited potential, he would rather save them for the future.

Secondly, he still hoped to obtain the authentic method of severing the three corpses, so that he could practice it after referring to it, so as not to attract Hongjun's attention, and also to make rapid progress in his mental cultivation after severing the three corpses.

At this time, Yuan Yan had already made plans for the treasure to which he entrusted his three selves.

He did not intend to use the Primordial Chaos Gourd or the Nine Heavens Breath Soil. Instead, he set his sights on the Primordial Gourd Vine, planning to dismember it into three parts.

When he took human form, he seized nearly one-third of the innate essence of the innate gourd vine. During this time, the innate essence of the innate gourd vine recovered a little, and the innate essence it contained was about 69% of what it was before he took human form.

If it is divided into three, then each of the three selves should occupy two innate gourds, each occupying 23% of the innate origin.

Although it cannot compare to the original body, after taking human form and being born, it is definitely a top-tier innate divine origin, and among top-tier innate divine origins, it should not be considered bad.

Having made up his mind, Yuan Yan didn't hesitate any longer. He sat cross-legged and began to condense his three selves.

In the world of Shrouding the Heavens, some exceptionally talented cultivators, when practicing the Great Emperor's Scripture at the Dao Palace realm, will chant the Scriptures of the Departed Self, the Original Self, and the Dao Self.

With his cultivation level, even without the Heaven-Covering Scripture, it wouldn't be difficult for him to comprehend the mysteries of the Three Selves and condense them.

In less than a month, Yuan Yan condensed his former self, original self, and Dao self.

Shifting his gaze to the innate gourd vine, Yuan Yan had a thought and sent his former self, original self, and Dao self into the innate gourd vine.

At the same time, under Yuan Yan's control, the remaining three parts of the innate origin of the innate gourd vine combined with his past self, original self, and Dao self, each occupying a section of the innate gourd vine, with two innate gourds hanging on each section.

The "three selves" can deeply integrate with the innate origin of the gourd vine, while using its innate origin and innate immortal spiritual light to cultivate the innate true spirit and innate primordial spirit.

Yuan Yan then stopped paying attention and focused all his attention on himself, comprehending the laws of the Great Dao while simultaneously developing the Great Dao of the Mind. He used his mind to explain and evolve his understanding of everything in the world, thus perfecting the Great Dao of the Mind.

He wanted to open up the Great Dao of the Mind as soon as possible and perfect it to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

In this way, once the three bodies of myself are born, they will all be able to immediately break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Ten Yuanhui later!

With a deafening roar, it sounded like the voice of the Great Dao, or perhaps it was the acknowledgment of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

The innate gourd vine split into four sections, one of which was hung with the Hunyuan Wandao Gourd, while the other three sections each had two innate gourds hanging from them.

Suddenly, Yuan Yan regained his innate Dao body! The other three sections of the innate gourd vine were also changing, evolving into innate Dao bodies and gradually taking on human form.

After a long time, the innate gourd vine completely disappeared, replaced by three tall and handsome young Taoists. If you looked closely and compared them with Yuan Yan, you would find that they all resembled Yuan Yan by about 70%, but each had a different temperament.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!" The Three Selfs bowed respectfully.

"Good! Very good!" Yuan Yan nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the three Dao bodies before him.

As the three bodies of the self, equivalent to the past self, the present self, and the future self, he has absolute control over them, not only communicating with them mentally but also knowing them inside and out.

They were just born, and their cultivation was at the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal. Their origins were all top-tier innate saints. Although their origins, aptitude, and comprehension were slightly inferior to his, they were not by much.

He believed that it wouldn't be long before their cultivation level caught up with his, and with their help, he would surely succeed in cultivating the four paths of Yin and Yang, Reincarnation, World, and Mind.
