Primordial Era: I, the auspicious beast Pixiu, am the darling of the Great Dao.

Chapter 55 Hongjun: The Drawbacks of the Three Corpses? Was I also tricked by the Heavenly Dao?!

now.

When Hongjun spoke of attaining enlightenment through merit and accumulating immeasurable merit, the atmosphere in the entire Zixiao Palace suddenly became extremely strange.

The three thousand innate saints present almost all turned their gazes toward Tianlu, who was perched on the clouds.

This is because behind this mythical creature is a gigantic, almost tangible golden wheel of merit!

If accumulating immeasurable merit can lead to sainthood, then the merit this Pixiu possesses now is probably enough to attain enlightenment several times over.

Although most innate deities can only see a huge golden wheel of merit.

But that doesn't prevent them from having the same vision.

However, Nuwa and Fuxi, who were sitting in the front row, had another extremely crazy idea when they saw this scene.

The brother and sister knew perfectly well a shocking secret about Tianlu.

Tianlu's so-called immeasurable merits were not obtained from doing anything beneficial to heaven and earth, but rather from the merits he forcibly expelled after consuming the fruit of a top-grade innate spiritual root.

Doesn't this mean that as long as there are enough top-grade innate spiritual fruits, Tianlu can create an unlimited number of saints?!

That's what I think, but Fellow Daoist Tianlu, why should we give them and their siblings merit?

Although the brother and sister were on good terms with Tianlu, they even traveled together in the prehistoric world.

But such immeasurable merit that can create a saint cannot be obtained by mere words of friendship.

unless----

Unless, of course, the siblings can offer the fruit of a top-grade innate spiritual root in exchange.

With this in mind, Nuwa and Fuxi had already made up their minds that once the lecture at Zixiao Palace was over, they would immediately go to the prehistoric land to look for opportunities and see if they could find any top-grade innate spiritual roots.

If I can find it, I must exchange it with Tianlu for the merit of becoming a saint.

Just as the various deities in Zixiao Palace were harboring different thoughts and experiencing undercurrents, Hongjun's voice once again rang out from the prayer mat above the main hall.

"This sermon has been preached for 36,500 years, and the quasi-saintly way has been passed down."

"When the third lecture is held, I will expound the supreme way of the sage and show you the way to transcendence."

"If you still have any doubts after hearing the teachings, please speak them."

Hongjun's deep gaze swept over the crowd below, awaiting their questions.

Just when Hongjun thought that these mortals, who were completely intimidated by the Saint's realm, would have no more doubts.

Just as he was about to end his sermon, a lazy voice suddenly rang out in the hall, leaving him stunned.

"Sage, you just said that one can become a sage by severing the three corpses of good, evil, and attachment. You explained the method of severing the three corpses very clearly, but what about uniting the three corpses?!"

"What kind of innate spiritual treasure did you use to sever your three corpses, old man?"

"Could it be that your method only involves severing the three corpses? Where is the method for uniting the three corpses?!"

Upon hearing this, the vast Zixiao Palace fell into an instant silence.

Everyone's eyes turned in unison to look in the direction from which the sound came.

Hongjun's gaze also sharpened slightly as he looked towards the source of the sound.

Upon seeing that it was Tianlu, the darling of the Great Dao who even the Heavenly Dao found troublesome, Hongjun's lips twitched slightly.

But on the surface, he still maintained that calm, serene, and otherworldly demeanor.

He spoke slowly, his voice grand and solemn.

"The spiritual treasure I severed from the three corpses was a fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation."

"As for the method of uniting the three corpses, one only needs to re-merge the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation that are entrusted to the three corpses into one, and the three corpses will naturally merge into one, thus attaining the supreme sainthood."

Upon hearing this answer, Tianlu's eyes lit up, and he instantly discovered a shocking blind spot in the answer.

He suddenly stood up from the clouds and started shouting.

"Fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation? Those things all share the same origin and are completely identical in essence, so their fusion is a natural progression!"

"But what if other innate deities don't use the same innate spiritual treasures to sever their corpses?!"

"A fire-attribute spiritual treasure, a water-attribute spiritual treasure, and a wood-attribute spiritual treasure—how could they possibly be combined into one?!"

"Forced fusion will only lead to a fundamental conflict, causing the spiritual treasure to explode and the three corpses to backfire!"

"This isn't some kind of 'three corpses united,' it's clearly a dead end where the Great Dao is completely severed!"

"You, a sage, have such a fatal flaw in your method of enlightenment, and you still don't know it?"

"By distributing this incomplete and detrimental method to all living beings in the primordial world, are you preaching the Way or destroying humanity's path?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Zixiao Palace fell into a deathly silence.

You could hear a pin drop.

Having already broken through to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm during his listening to the Dao, Taiqing Laozi, who had already relied on his profound foundation, had a layer of fine cold sweat seeping from his forehead.

He felt a wave of fear wash over him, but secretly rejoiced.

Ok!

Fortunately, although I was completely absorbed in listening to the music and wanted to take this opportunity to sever the corpse, I unfortunately did not have any innate spiritual treasures, only acquired merit treasures.

Otherwise, if one were to truly sever one of the three corpses, wouldn't one later face the dire situation of having different origins and the collapse of the Great Dao when trying to combine the three corpses to attain enlightenment?

Not only Taiqing Laozi, but also Yuqing Yuanshi, Shangqing Tongtian, and those innate saints with extremely high comprehension who had already touched the threshold of severing the corpse, were all still feeling lingering fear at this moment.

Although their gazes toward Hongjun still held reverence, a hint of dissatisfaction and doubt had already begun to emerge deep within them.

That's how it is.

After hearing this method that directly leads to the path of quasi-sages, most worldly people felt endless gratitude and respect for Hongjun.

They all wanted to address Hongjun as the Dao Ancestor at the end of their sermons.

After all, Hongjun imparted his teachings to them, and if they were to impart their teachings to all living beings in the prehistoric world in the future, then Hongjun would naturally be the ancestor of all laws in the prehistoric immortal path.

But now, with Tianlu's actions causing such a huge blunder that almost severed everyone's path to enlightenment, who can still utter the title of Dao Ancestor?

At most, it's just maintaining a sense of awe towards the realm of saints.

On the futon above, Hongjun was now completely numb from Tianlu's influence.

This mythical creature is practically his nemesis.

In addition, a storm raged in Hongjun's heart, and a terrifying thought emerged.

It seems he, too, has been set up by fate!

This Three Corpses Method was originally a supreme method he created by combining fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation, communicating with the rules of Heaven, and spending countless eons to establish.

He himself successfully attained enlightenment by relying on the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation of the same origin, and naturally assumed that this method was perfect.

But he never expected that there was such a fatal clue hidden in this!

Why didn't Heaven remind him?

Was it something that Heaven couldn't predict, or was it something Heaven intentionally orchestrated?

Now that Tianlu has exposed him in public, he is in a difficult situation and extremely embarrassed.
