Chapter 146: Daluo’s reliance, the three corpses become saints!
For a period of time that followed, Qi Yu stayed in the Yuxu Palace, deducing the concept of Daluo Daoguo together with the Three Pure Ones, trying to further improve the immortal system and enable Xuanmen to take advantage of the opportunity to make further progress.

This is certainly not a small project. On the contrary, even with the Three Pure Ones now together and the assistance of Qi Yu, an ancient god whose realm is comparable to that of a quasi-saint, the progress of the deduction is definitely not fast. Many details were perfected bit by bit through discussions among several people.

Among them, although Qi Yu was only an auxiliary, his role was not small at all, no less than that of the leader, the Lord of Morality.

The reason for this is, firstly, because Qi Yu’s realm in the past was high enough, perhaps even better than the current Yuanshi and Lingbao Heavenly Venerables, and only slightly inferior to the Daode Heavenly Venerable. In this way, even though he was the Shinto Heavenly Venerable back then, he can now draw inferences from one instance to another, and even perfect the concept of Daluo from a more unique perspective.

Secondly, he already had some understanding of the concept of Daluo, and had tried to deduce the mysteries of the immortal Daluo independently. Naturally, he had more basic knowledge than other people. It is always better to cross the river by feeling the stones than to wade through the flood directly. This is obviously beyond doubt.

In short, the four of them sat there for three thousand years, and with everyone’s joint efforts, the concept of Daluo finally took shape. Although it is still a long way from perfection, it is finally more than just a concept.

Lingbao Tianzun was obviously deeply moved by this.

“When I achieved the Luotian Dao Fruit in the past, I didn’t think there was anything special about it. Now that I’m trying to open another one and perform the Daluo Fruit, I realize that it is indeed extremely difficult and full of obstacles!”

“I think that when the Ancestral God and the Chaos Gods performed the Luotian Fruit in the past, they also went through endless trials and tribulations before they finally succeeded.”

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun nodded, Daode Tianzun sighed, and Qi Yu’s eyes turned deep, obviously remembering something –

The ancestor god mentioned by Lingbao Tianzun is naturally Pangu, the great god who opened up the present primitive world. As for the gods of chaos, they are the first group of gods in the primitive world. They were all born in the chaotic era. After the creation of the world, they established the present primitive order together with the Emperor of Heaven Cangli.

Whether it is Xuanpin Daomu or Qi Yu’s predecessor Yuqiang, they are all among the so-called chaotic gods.

It was precisely because the original innate gods such as Pangu, Cangli and Qi Yu opened up and gradually perfected the concept of Luotian Dao Fruit that the realm of Daojun was promoted in the prehistoric world.

Therefore, if we really want to talk about the ancestor of Shintoism, the first person that comes to mind must be the great god Pangu, followed by the Emperor of Heaven Cangli.

As for Qi Yu, he participated in the creation of two Taoist lineages. The title of Taoist ancestor is of course an exaggeration, and he is not worthy of that title for the time being. But being called the ancestor of two Taoist lineages is completely sufficient in terms of his participation in the creation of the two great Dao fruits, Luotian and Daluo.

Unfortunately, in the interpretation of Luo Tian Dao Fruit, Qi Yu and others were only perfectionists, not pioneers. The two great gods who really took over the relay were Pangu and Cangli. Therefore, they, the perfecters, had no merits to speak of, but could only share a little of the origin of the gods.

Otherwise, if one participates in it, what a huge amount of merit from the Heavenly Dao will one get? And what kind of fortune from the Godly Dao will one occupy?

This is simply unimaginable!
Fortunately, now he is actually involved in the interpretation of Daluo Daoguo and occupies a very important role. Once the concept of Daluo is born in the future, Qi Yu will naturally not lack merit or immortal luck.

Xuanmen Xiandao, as a newly established giant that is destined to rise, is indeed the most suitable place to invest in. It can be said to be a profitable place. In this way, Qi Yu’s decision to decisively give up the Shinto was not wrong at all.

Completely devoting oneself to the path of immortality must be much better than trying to get the best of both worlds!
After everyone expressed their feelings for a while, finally, the Lord of Morality spoke.

“In this way, the concept of Daluo has taken shape. It will eventually come to the world in due time. Once the Daluo Dao Fruit appears in the world, it will be a great blessing for all living beings in the prehistoric world. My Xuanmen will also prosper from this. It is indeed a great act of kindness.”

“Thank you for your hard work this time, fellow Daoist and two junior brothers.”

The Heavenly Lord of Morality said so. Of course, the second half of the sentence was mainly directed at Qi Yu. They were the Three Pure Ones, and at least today before becoming saints, they were still so close that they were inseparable. Qi Yu, as a strong man who was invited to help, was of course thanked by the Heavenly Lord of Morality now that the matter was accomplished.
Qi Yu naturally understood the meaning of this and smiled immediately.

“I don’t deserve your thanks, fellow Daoist. This is just my duty. However, the concept of Daluo is new now, and I’m afraid it will take enough time to be nurtured before it can really take shape and be engraved in the Heavenly Dao.”

“And unlike the Luotian Dao Fruit, the Daluo Dao Fruit does not rely on the Heavenly Dao. I’m afraid it needs to be carried by other places. I wonder if Daoist friends have any ideas about this?”

Qi Yu first exchanged some pleasantries, and then asked a practical question.

Yes, although it is no longer constrained by the innate constants of the Way of Heaven, the new Way of Daluo still needs a place as a foundation to support itself.

This is a kind of anchoring. Without this anchoring, the Dao Fruit will be completely exposed to the world. This is a very dangerous behavior. If an ordinary Dao Lord does this, it can even be said that he is disregarding his own life and property.

Only when one reaches the level of Heavenly Venerate can one temporarily manifest one’s own Dao Fruit, without fear of influence. Only when one reaches the realm of Saint can one be said to have achieved the perfection of Dao Fruit, and can manifest it at will in the wilderness, and even become the foundation of a great Dao.

According to the deductions from ancient times, if one wanted to be truly free from constraints, one would have to achieve a realm higher than that of a saint. From Qi Yu’s current perspective, that meant being on par with the way of heaven, or even transcending it.

Qi Yu even has a view that is not mainstream. The Way of Heaven can perhaps be regarded as a kind of Dao fruit, the Dao fruit of the world formed by the entire prehistoric world. However, it is still in the process of interpretation. Perhaps when the prehistoric world can one day get rid of the troubles of countless calamities, this grand Dao fruit that does not belong to anyone can truly mature.

He was not sure whether such a day would ever come. After all, although birth, existence, decay and death were later concepts of Buddhism, they also reflected the truth of the cycle of birth and death in the world.

How easy is it to break free from this cycle? From Qi Yu’s perspective, at least for now, there is no hope at all.

Thinking of this, Qi Yu looked at the Lord of Morality, waiting for the latter’s reply.

Obviously, the Lord of Morality had already made plans for this.

“I do have some ideas about this.”

“Daoyou, do you think that the innate spiritual treasure can bear the Daluo Dao fruit and carry the Great Dao?”

Hearing the answer from the Lord of Morality, Qi Yu nodded, but frowned.

“The innate spiritual treasures are of course enough, but even though the number of innate spiritual treasures is much greater than that of the Three Thousand Great Daos, there is still an end to it.”

“In this case, even if the concept of Daluo is born, I am afraid it is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution. After all, it still has limitations!”

“What if we count those innate magic treasures, or even acquired spiritual treasures?”

This time, it was Lingbao Tianzun who spoke, but his idea was rejected by Yuanshi Tianzun.

“Compared to the innate spiritual treasures that are born from the heavens and are flawless, the innate magic treasures do have some acquired traces after all. Even though they still belong to the innate category, they are often not perfect and do not have the characteristics of immortality. I am afraid it is still dangerous to use them to carry the fruits of the Tao.”

“As for the acquired spiritual treasures, things that are acquired, there is no need to say more.”

As the most skilled in refining instruments among the Three Pure Ones, Yuanshi Tianzun’s words are undoubtedly authoritative. The matter of Dao Fruit is too important to be taken lightly. When carrying it with an instrument, one has to be extremely careful. In his opinion, only innate spiritual treasures can meet such conditions.

Unexpectedly, in response to his point of view, the Lord of Morality spoke again.

“It’s not a bad idea to have a sky-high idea.”

“If the complete Dao Fruit is carried by acquired spiritual treasures and innate magic treasures, it will be extremely risky. However, if the Daluo Dao Fruit is split, this may not be impossible.”

As he spoke, the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Tao performed a method for Qi Yu and the two Heavenly Lords, Yuan Shi and Ling Bao, which actually split up the complete Daluo Dao Fruit and constructed a step-by-step path to enlightenment.

According to this method, if a cultivator wants to attain enlightenment again, he does not have to build a complete Daluo foundation at the beginning, but instead first breeds a point of innate immortal spiritual light, and places it in an object as a source to support an imperfect prototype of the Tao fruit.

Then, as he continued to practice, using more magic weapons to carry the embryonic forms of his own Dao Fruit, his own Dao became more and more perfect, until the last step, when the many Dao Fruit embryonic forms merged into one, and he leaped up to become a truly flawless Daluo Immortal, equivalent to a person with great supernatural powers, and could advance into the Quasi-Saint realm at any time!
“If you use this method to prove the Way, then you can also achieve the Daluo level with the things from the acquired world.”

“In this way, the great way can be achieved.”

Having said this, Lord Daode stroked his beard. It was obvious that there was nothing wrong with this solution, and it could even be called perfect.

“The only pity is that from now on, those who achieve enlightenment with acquired things are destined to be inferior to those who achieve enlightenment with innate spiritual treasures.”

This was Lingbao Tianzun sighing. He saw clearly that although this method was extremely wonderful, the difference between innate and acquired meant that it still had limitations.

The Daluo who achieved enlightenment with the help of several acquired spiritual treasures has a foundation no more than that of the original Luotian Daojun, while the strong ones who possessed innate spiritual treasures did not even need this method at all, and could reach the same level by condensing the Daluo Dao fruit normally.

Then, if there is a strong person from a famous family who possesses multiple innate spiritual treasures at the same time, can he be “invincible at the same level”?
After all, the gap in the foundation of Taoism is there, and it is really not something that can be easily eliminated by other means. In this regard, Daode Tianzun is helpless. He has another idea. If Xuanmen can rule the heaven and become the orthodoxy of the prehistoric world, then the Three Pure Ones can work together to open up the Three Pure Ones Heaven, which can stand side by side with the Supreme Daluo Heaven and carry the fruits of the immortals.

But now, Xuanmen is still far from this stage, so this idea is meaningless. The current method is already the best solution.

Lingbao Tianzun naturally understood the difficulties of his elder brother. After sighing, he didn’t say anything else. However, Qi Yu suddenly had an inspiration after hearing Lingbao Tianzun’s sigh.

Immediately, he looked at the Lord of Morality and asked.

“May I ask, fellow Taoist, after the Dao Fruit embryos are united, where will the Dao Fruit of the Great Luo be stored?”

“Of course, it is still divided into spiritual treasures.”

The Lord of Morality spoke like this.

Hearing this, Qi Yu smiled slightly and said.

“In my opinion, this is not necessarily the case!”

As he spoke, Qi Yu casually pointed out, and the true form of the Taoist body evolved in the void, splitting into three.

“Every living being has greed, anger, and delusion, also known as the love of ornaments, the love of delicious food, and the love of lust. They can be called the three corpses.”

“The Three Corpses are nameless and formless, yet real. If you cut them out with an object and turn them into reality, they can be called the Three Corpse Gods.”

“The path to becoming a quasi-saint is nothing more than the evolution of Hunyuan. If you can separate the Daluo Dao Fruit and then reunite it at the moment of perfection, then why can’t Hunyuan Dao Fruit do the same?”

As he spoke, Qi Yu waved his sleeves and split the symbol in the void that symbolized the perfect Daluo Dao Fruit again. However, this time the split had a fixed number, that is, one split into three, which were respectively integrated into the phantoms of the Three Corpse Gods.

“At this point, the three corpses changed again, becoming the body that is good to me, the body that is evil to me, and the body that holds me.”

Then, the Three Pure Ones saw a scene that amazed them.

With the continuous growth of the Three Corpse Gods, the already perfect Daluo Dao Fruit changed again. This time, external forces could no longer affect the growth of the Dao Fruit. Everyone was at the same level at the moment of beheading the corpses.

This time, the strength of the cultivator in the quasi-saint realm is only closely related to his own Dao. The stronger the Dao, the stronger the feedback he will get. Obviously, this is a fair competition and no one can “cheat” anymore.

“I call this method the Three Corpses Slashing Method. Eventually, when the Three Corpses are perfected, one will be at the pinnacle of Quasi-Sainthood, and invincible under the Primordial Chaos.”

“What happens after that?”

The one who spoke was Yuanshi Tianzun. Obviously, he already had the answer in his mind, but the matter was of great importance, so he couldn’t hold back and wanted to ask Qi Yu to confirm it.

“After that, the three corpses will merge into one, and they will attain the Holy Primordial Realm!”

Qi Yu spoke, confirming Yuanshi Tianzun’s guess, and also caused a storm in the hearts of the Three Pure Ones –

Hunyuan!

That is the supreme realm and the highest fruit of the Tao that countless powerful people have been pursuing since the beginning of the world!
Even though they knew in their hearts that what Qi Yu said was just a possibility and that this was not a tested and proven path to enlightenment, Sanqing still felt inexplicably moved and their gazes towards Qi Yu changed again.

At this moment, Qi Yu’s heart was also filled with excitement.

In fact, just like the search for Daluo Dao Fruit, Qi Yu had also begun exploring the method of beheading the three corpses a long time ago and had achieved considerable results.

Due to this, coupled with the deduction of Daluo Daoguo over the past three thousand years and the method of differentiating Daluo Daoguo demonstrated by the Lord of Dao and Virtue not long ago, Qi Yu perfected the method of beheading the three corpses in one fell swoop, and launched it at this moment, severely shocking the Three Purities!
“This method is wonderful, fellow Taoist is truly a great talent!”

This time, it was Yuanshi Tianzun who spoke up to praise Qi Yu’s idea. Obviously, the method of beheading the three corpses allowed Yuanshi Tianzun to see more possibilities, and for a moment he seemed to have realized something.

Immediately, Lord of Daode also clapped his hands in praise, and Lord of Lingbao was even more delighted with a smile on his face.

In this way, after the Daluo Dao Fruit was born, it not only gained widespread support from acquired creatures, but also gained the approval of many innate ancient gods who were eager to achieve enlightenment.

After all, a method of cultivation that can lead to sainthood, even if it is just an idea, will definitely tempt this group of people. Having been trapped in the quasi-saint realm for so long, how can they resist giving it a try when they see a ray of hope?
Such a huge temptation is impossible for anyone to avoid!
Thinking of this, the Lord of Morality couldn’t help but look at Qi Yu. Fortunately, the latter stood on the side of Xuanmen and was one of the current ancestors of the immortal way. Otherwise, if he stood on the opposite side of Xuanmen and supported Shinto, who knows how much extra price he would have to pay in the future when Shenxuan fought for orthodoxy!
Such thoughts made Lord Daode more satisfied with his original decision, and he felt relieved.

“Speaking of which, elder brother, can you still perform the method of beheading the three corpses? Perhaps you can use this to advance half a step further. Even if you cannot directly reach the realm of Primordial Chaos, your Taoism can be greatly improved, and from then on you should be no worse than that of Taiyi clan?”

After Yuanshi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun spoke and asked a very crucial question.

Qi Yu was obviously very concerned about the answer to this question, and immediately looked at the Lord of Morality, waiting for the latter’s reply.

After hesitating for a moment, the Lord of Dao finally gave a positive answer.

“This method is also feasible for me, and it has great potential!”

“Even though my path has already been decided, it is probably difficult to achieve enlightenment right away just by combining the three corpses. But if the three corpses are perfect, at least Taiyi will no longer be a threat.”

Such an answer immediately cheered up Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun, and even Qi Yu felt more confident.

“This is a happy event. I would like to congratulate Taoist Taiqing first.”

“I would also like to thank you for your Three Corpse Slashing Technique.”

Upon hearing this, Lord Daode replied.

“However, I have another idea in my mind. The Three Corpses Slashing Method is obviously more in line with the foundation of Daluo, and the Daluo Dao is all-encompassing, and it may be possible to replace the Luotian Dao.”

“Therefore, I want to give it a try, reverse my foundation, and kill the three corpses with the Daluo Dao Fruit to achieve perfection.”

I have to say that this is a kind of great courage. The Taoist has no regrets, and it is not just talk. The fact that the Lord of Morality dares to make this attempt is indeed extraordinary.

However, the other three people present did not dissuade anyone from doing so. After all, they actually had the same idea in their hearts and were ready to try it!
Especially Qi Yu, now he has not yet achieved the status of Heavenly Venerate, so naturally it is easier to turn around because the boat is small. In addition, his own vision and realm are extraordinary enough. Compared with the Three Pure Ones, his possibility of direct success may be even greater.

Of course, that’s not how it is said, at this moment, Qi Yu said solemnly.

“Then I wish you success and that you can achieve the state of Hun Yuan with your Daluo body! If this is accomplished, you will be a pioneer and the true first saint of our Xuan Sect!”

Although it was just polite talk, Qi Yu was more or less sincere at the moment. After all, if a true “Hunyuan Daluo” could really be born, then it would be inevitable for the immortal way to replace the divine way.

On one side is the Shinto method that has defeated three consecutive generations of emperors, and on the other side is the Immortal method that can give birth to a saint. It goes without saying how to choose.

In response to this, the Lord of Dao and Morality also had a serious expression.

“I, a poor Taoist, should do my best.”
