Primordial Era: Infinite Evolution, Starting with Intercepting the Queen Mother of the West

"There was definitely something wrong!"

"It really was a fake road!"

"As expected, Hongjun's preaching was a scam!"

"..."

However, at this moment, Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Nuwa had completely believed in their judgment.

Although Hongjun's probing was understated, they could clearly sense the emotions and probing he was conveying.

Especially the certainty in those last words made them all feel that the latter was trying to cover up the truth.

However, despite their deep conviction, they dared not turn against Hongjun at this moment.

After exchanging a glance, Tongtian stepped forward and explained, "Dao Ancestor, this is not a matter of our suspicion, but rather something that has already spread throughout the entire prehistoric world."

"Within the primordial world, many cultivators have rejected the practice of severing the three corpses, saying that it is a path that cannot be succeeded without the Primordial Purple Qi."

"Under such circumstances, cultivators throughout the prehistoric world have begun to doubt the integrity of the Three Corpses Severing Technique, and many cultivators have even abandoned it."

What!

The news spread throughout the entire wilderness.

The cultivator is abandoning the practice of severing the three corpses!

Upon hearing this, Hongjun became anxious.

This is not good news, as the transmission of the Three Corpses is related to the transmission of his lineage.

He called himself the master of the Xuanmen (Taoist sect).

This "severing of the three corpses" is the most important method of the Xuanmen sect, and also their best way to control the primordial world.

Now that the cultivators of the Primordial Era have denied the practice of severing the Three Corpses, and even abandoned it altogether, how can the lineage of the Xuanmen be passed on?

Even those three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace, once they abandon the practice of severing the three corpses, at most they will only incur karmic debts rather than become his disciples and grand-disciples. At that time, he will not be able to obtain any benefits, faith, or fortune from these people.

For a moment, Hongjun disregarded the presence of the Three Pure Ones and others, and immediately began to calculate with his fingers.

However, due to the existence of variables and anomalies, the secrets of the primordial world are obscure at this moment, and even the Heavenly Dao has difficulty participating in them. How could Hongjun possibly figure out the reason for this?

In an instant, Hongjun opened his eyes and couldn't help but grit his teeth: "Donghuang Taiyi, Zhen Yuanzi!"

Although he didn't understand the specifics, he already knew that Donghuang Taiyi had directly abandoned the idea of ​​severing his three corpses and cut off his good and evil corpses.

They also learned that Zhen Yuanzi was currently destroying his two corpses, one good and one evil, and had even succeeded in doing so.

In addition, he could feel his fortune within the primordial world rapidly weakening, and even his faith power rapidly declining.

In particular, among the three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace, apart from a small number who had cultivated the Three Corpses Severing Technique, the rest, even those who had reached the level of Severing Corpses, did not perform any actions or behaviors related to it, which clearly indicated that they were somewhat suspicious of him.

At this moment, Hongjun's eyes widened in fury.

He wished he could personally enter the primordial world and kill the creators and their accomplices, or even just give them a good warning or a shock.

Unfortunately, he cannot leave Zixiao Palace under the current circumstances.

Because of the contract he signed with the Heavenly Dao, he is no longer able to directly intervene in matters within the primordial world.

Thinking of this, Hongjun's gaze then locked onto Laozi and the others.

Now, it seems that he only has the six people in front of him left to rely on.

After all, they had already merged with the Primordial Purple Qi. Even if they had doubts or distrust, they had no power to resist and were even forced to submit to their own will and plans.

Thinking this through, Hongjun calmed down considerably and then said, "Truly, he has ruined his own future!"

"To actually abandon the practice of severing the three corpses—this is their greatest loss!"

"During the next sermon, I will let everyone know the power of severing the three corpses and its bright future!"

Upon hearing this, Laozi and the others remained outwardly calm, but inwardly they were filled with contempt.

They weren't idiots; how could they not see what Hongjun's previous reaction meant?

That's the kind of attitude that makes you want to kill Donghuang Taiyi and Zhen Yuanzi. Clearly, their actions have angered Hongjun. And what could possibly make him angry is that they abandoned the act of severing the three corpses.

Previously, they might have looked down on Donghuang Taiyi and Zhen Yuanzi's actions, or even thought that their methods were foolish.

But now, after watching Hongjun's performance, they have to admit one thing.

The "severing the three corpses" technique is indeed a trap.

They have already deeply penetrated it, and are even tightly bound together because of the Primordial Purple Qi.

However, for other cultivators, practicing this method would be suicidal. Donghuang Taiyi and Zhen Yuanzi's seemingly reckless actions actually broke free from their shackles and even thwarted Hongjun's plans.

"Master~"

At this moment, Nuwa stepped forward, bowed to Hongjun, and asked, "Master, if one attains enlightenment through merit, is it unnecessary to sever the Three Corpses as a foundation?"

"There shouldn't be a necessary connection between severing the three corpses and attaining enlightenment through merit!"

Although what they were more curious about was the proof of the law.

However, Nuwa and the others also need to thoroughly understand the situation regarding the three methods of enlightenment that Hongjun fabricated in the past.

The idea of ​​proving the Dao through force is undoubtedly a fabrication by Hongjun.

The Three Corpses Severing Technique requires the assistance of Primordial Purple Qi; otherwise, it is impossible to succeed.

What about attaining enlightenment through merit?

What exactly is this method of enlightenment that Hongjun has belittled and even described as somewhat vague?

"yes!"

Hongjun gave Nuwa a deep look, and this time he was no longer hesitant or uncertain.

He knew that Laozi and the others had begun to doubt him, and even the plans within the primordial world had been destroyed.

Under such circumstances, rather than continuing to play along with Lao Tzu and others, it would be better to lay all the cards on the table directly.

After all, they have already merged with the Primordial Purple Qi, and unless they sever their own primordial spirit, none of these guys can escape his grasp.

Moreover, with the Primordial Purple Qi, they can all attain sainthood and become saints. Even if they know that many things are schemes, they are incomparable to the attainment of sainthood.

For example, the three clans of dragon, phoenix, and qilin from back then.

They could have lived peacefully in one place, so why did the duel break out just to prove their path?

"really!"

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Nuwa and the others looked even more displeased.

However, they dared not turn against Hongjun at this moment, and Nuwa could only respond and return to her position.

"Dao Ancestor!"

As Nuwa retreated, Jieyin and Zhunti no longer hesitated.

After exchanging a glance, the two stepped forward, clasped their hands in a respectful bow, and asked, "May I ask, Ancestor, what is the meaning of proving one's Dao through the laws?"

"May I ask the Ancestor, can one attain sainthood through the application of laws?"

"May I ask, Ancestor, why is proving one's Dao through laws so far more powerful than severing the Three Corpses?"

"May I ask the ancestor..."

With a barrage of questions posed, Laozi and his companions nervously looked towards Hongjun.

This is their biggest question.

It is also their greatest curiosity.

Is proving one's path through laws truly as Di Tian described? Does it really lead to greater power, or even...?
