In this primordial world, this Hongyun is too cowardly!

Chapter 116

"The method of attaining enlightenment!"

Zhen Yuanzi did not show much surprise upon hearing Styx's request.

It can be said that he had anticipated what the Styx Ancestor wanted this time.

"Fellow Daoist Styx, you also know how difficult it is to attain Dao without the Primordial Purple Qi."

"In the entire primordial world, only my old friend Hongyun has succeeded in attaining enlightenment without the Primordial Purple Qi. Perhaps only my old friend Hongyun can answer this question for you."

Looking at the respectful Styx Ancestor, Zhen Yuanzi sighed slightly.

He was also well aware of the Styx Ancestor's eagerness to attain enlightenment at this moment.

If it weren't for Hongyun's great help, he might be no different from the Styx Ancestor now.

He will likely remain stuck at the peak of the Quasi-Saint level, showing no signs of breaking through.

Where else can one attain sainthood, merge one's primordial spirit with the Heavenly Dao, and become immortal and indestructible, just like now!

"Fellow Daoist Styx, I will not hold back. Today I will explain my insights into the Dao. Whether you can gain any understanding is up to you!"

Looking at the Styx Ancestor, Chen Ye slowly spoke.

"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Hongyun. Styx is deeply grateful. If the day comes for the announcement, Styx will certainly do his utmost!"

Upon hearing Chen Ye's words, the Styx Ancestor was extremely excited.

Prove the Way!

This is his hope, which has lasted for billions of years!

He originally thought that with his Styx Ancestor's talent and comprehension, even without the Primordial Purple Qi, he could still successfully attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

However, over the course of countless years, he has come to deeply understand the difficulties of attaining the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

There's absolutely no way in!

It wasn't until that moment that he realized just how terrifying Hongyun's talent was to attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

"Fellow Daoist Styx, there's no need for this!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ye smiled faintly.

Immediately, his expression also became slightly solemn: "Fellow Daoist Styx also knows that the Dao Ancestor once said that there are three methods to prove the Dao."

"Prove the Dao through force, by severing the three corpses, and through merit!"

Upon hearing this, the Styx Ancestor slowly nodded: "As the Dao Ancestor once said, all three methods can lead to enlightenment!"

"What the Dao Ancestor said is indeed correct!"

Chen Ye nodded slightly and then said, "However, proving the Dao through force is too difficult, almost impossible."

"Severing the Three Corpses is feasible, but the methods you use to sever the Three Corpses are all incomplete, so it is still difficult to attain enlightenment."

"All the saints, except for Zhen Yuanzi, have attained sainthood through merit and virtue, so this method is the weakest."

As Chen Ye finished speaking, Styx Ancestor's mind was buzzing.

"The method of severing the three corpses is incomplete!?"

Looking at Chen Ye and Zhen Yuanzi, Styx was utterly shocked.

"That's right. The method of severing the three corpses requires the complete method of severing the three corpses, plus three innate spiritual treasures of the same origin, in order to successfully attain enlightenment."

Looking at the awe-inspiring River Styx, Zhen Yuanzi nodded slightly: "If it weren't for my old friend Hongyun's guidance back then, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to successfully attain sainthood!"

Upon hearing Zhen Yuanzi's confirmation, Styx was deeply shaken, his gaze involuntarily turning towards the heavens, a few beads of cold sweat appearing on his forehead.

The method of severing the three corpses was personally taught by Dao Ancestor Hongjun. He knows better than anyone what problems might arise.

Hongjun Daozu was certainly well aware of these two questions, but he did not explicitly state them…

In an instant, Styx's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, proving the Dao through force is not feasible, and severing the Three Corpses is also out of the question for me. If not now, I can only prove the Dao through merit?"

After a long while, Styx finally came to his senses and looked at Chen Ye with a solemn expression.

"Accumulating merit to attain enlightenment is indeed a path, but to successfully attain enlightenment, one must accumulate sufficient merit."

"In today's primordial world, there isn't enough merit to go around for you to cultivate your Dao!"

Chen Ye spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, Styx's face turned deathly pale.

Hearing Chen Ye's words, didn't that mean he had no hope of attaining the Great Luo Primordial Dao?

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, please show me the way!"

Then, Styx spoke again with utmost respect.

"The Law Proves the Way!"

"This is your only method of attaining enlightenment, fellow Daoist!"

Looking at the River Styx, Chen Ye said directly, "Actually, proving the Dao through force is also a form of proving the Dao through laws!"

"The Law of Power is the strongest law among the three thousand Great Laws, so it is extremely difficult to use it to attain enlightenment."

"However, after the Law of Force, the other thousands of laws can all lead to the attainment of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, and none of them require the same level of difficulty to achieve through force."

After a pause, Chen Ye looked at Styx: "Fellow Daoist, you were born from the Blood Sea, naturally possessing the Law of Slaughter, and all your cultivation is based on the Law of Slaughter."

"Therefore, you can only attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm through the Law of Slaughter!"

A flawless version after careful inspection!

The Law of Slaughter!

In an instant, a glint appeared in Styx's eyes, clearly indicating that he had gained some understanding.

"The Law of Slaughter: Prove your path through killing!"

"I understand, thank you, Fellow Daoist Hongyun!"

Then, the Styx Ancestor's expression revealed a strong killing intent, and a terrifying killing aura descended unconsciously.

Sensing this chilling, terrifying killing intent, even Zhao Gongming's face turned deathly pale.

This is the Styx Ancestor at the peak of Quasi-Saint level!

Even if he successfully enters the Quasi-Saint realm, he is still far from it!

Not to mention his teacher and his senior brother Zhen Yuanzi, who had both reached the level of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.

He has a long way to go!

"To prove one's path through killing is but a minor path!"

"Fellow Daoist Styx, if you wish to prove your Dao through this method, you have strayed from the right path!"

Looking at the Styx Ancestor, who was now exuding murderous intent, Chen Ye shook his head.

"Please enlighten me, fellow Daoist!?"

In an instant, Styx's murderous intent vanished, replaced by a hint of confusion.

He originally planned that even if it meant killing billions of living beings, he would still succeed in attaining enlightenment through killing.

However, upon hearing Hongyun's words, he said that this was nothing more than a minor technique.

"Styx, do you truly understand the art of killing?"

Looking at the River Styx, Chen Ye continued, "Slay the heavens, slay the earth, slaughter all life!"

"That's just on the surface!"

"The true method of killing is far more complex than simply killing."

"On the contrary, to truly comprehend the laws of killing, one must possess a heart of great love. The deeper the love, the deeper the hatred; the deeper the hatred, the more one will slaughter all things!"

"This is the law of slaughter!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ye slightly raised his fingertips and then pointed them towards the center of Styx Ancestor's forehead.

In an instant, a Heavenly Dao Law containing supreme Daoist principles surged directly into the space between the eyebrows of the Styx Ancestor.

Immediately afterwards, the Styx Ancestor's body surged with power, and the power of the laws around him surged and swept across the world.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Hongyun. If one day Styx succeeds in attaining enlightenment, I will become your disciple!"

It is unknown how much time passed before the Styx Ancestor finally opened his eyes, clearly having gained considerable insight.

"There's no need for that. If you, fellow Daoist, can attain enlightenment, it will be a joyous occasion for the Primordial World. Besides me, the Primordial World will gain another Grand Luo Immortal, which is truly something to celebrate!"

"Fellow Daoist Styx, just remember this: seeking enlightenment through killing is always a minor path!"

Finally, Chen Ye gave a word of advice, then slightly raised his head: "Fellow Daoist, please go!"

"The Styx River will remember this, thank you, Ancestor!"

The Styx Ancestor bowed in gratitude, then his figure flashed and he left Wuzhuang Temple.
