Chapter 31: Hunyuan Realm is a Quasi-Sage, Hongjun wants to merge with the Dao
Hongyun didn't say anything. Zhen Yuanzi thought about it and declined. He explained to Houtu that he planned to go back and break through the realm after listening to the teachings.
After hearing this, Hou Tu couldn't help but feel envious and said, "You immortals cultivate your souls, which is much better than us witches who can only cultivate our bodies."
"Moreover, the Taoist master also said that during this sermon, he would pass down the method of beheading the three corpses. This method is also based on the primordial spirit, and it has nothing to do with our Wu clan."
"According to what Daozu said, I'm afraid the only way is to prove the Dao with force. We can give it a try."
Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi fell silent. After thinking for a while, he consoled her, "Sister Hou Tu, why not take this opportunity to ask Daozu to see if there are any other predestined ways for the Wu Clan?"
Hou Tu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Okay, I have to thank you for your guidance, Brother Dao."
The two of them were talking back and forth, but Hong Yun pretended not to see anything. In the Zixiao Palace, as time went by, more and more powerful people came.
Even on the cushions next to them, Jie Yin and Zhunti were sitting. When the two brothers entered the sect, they saw the two cushions and could not believe their eyes.
Even the Taoist Master Jie Yin, who always had a bitter face among the two, rarely showed a bright smile.
They sat down hurriedly, and when they saw Hongyun sitting next to them, they both felt a little nervous.
However, thinking about the good relations he had established with Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi, he felt relieved and greeted each other.
The last ones to enter the Zixiao Palace were the King of the East and the Queen Mother of the West.
They have to manage the prehistoric world, so inevitably their energy is dispersed a lot, and now their cultivation is already lagging behind others.
However, they manage the group of immortals, establish order for the prehistoric world, have merits, and carry the aura of a superior, so people dare not look down on them.
In this way, after all the powerful people who were predestined to be there had gathered, Hongjun finally showed up and started preaching without any nonsense.
The second sermon in Zixiao Palace was about the Dao of Hunyuan. After the explanation of Hongjun Daozu, everyone finally understood the realm of Hunyuan.
It turns out that above the Daluo Jinxian, there is not immediately the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. There is another realm in the middle called Hunyuan Jinxian.
However, this Hunyuan Golden Immortal was also the name before the last catastrophe. Daozu Hongjun has now changed the name of this realm and called it Quasi-Sage.
If one follows the method of beheading the three corpses, then after reaching perfection in the Golden Immortal state of Daluo, one only needs to behead one corpse to become a quasi-saint.
Killing one corpse means the early stage of quasi-sainthood, killing two corpses means the middle stage of quasi-sainthood, and killing three corpses means the late stage of quasi-sainthood.
And if after killing the three corpses, one can still unite the three corpses into one, then he can become the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.
This Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian is the pinnacle of immortality and the realm of a saint. However, a saint is a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, but a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian is not a saint.
There can be at most nine saints between heaven and earth. Even if the others can attain enlightenment, they can only become Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.
Three thousand years of preaching passed quickly, and I was immersed in listening to the sermons without realizing it.
When the Taoist voice lingering in his ears stopped, Hong Yun opened his eyes and saw that Hongjun Daozu on the platform was no longer preaching.
The other powerful men also woke up one after another, all of them with a feeling of wanting more.
Daoist Ancestor Hongjun glanced at everyone and said, "Since Pangu created the world, I have obtained the Jade Book of Creation and cultivated the Dao to become a saint. However, when the world was created, the Jade Book of Creation also suffered a disaster, so the Dao is incomplete and the Dao of Heaven is also flawed."
"Ten thousand years later, when the Purple Cloud Palace gives its third sermon, after I have finished explaining the Way of the Sage, I will unite myself with the Way to complete the Way of Heaven, and from now on I will no longer be a saint."
When everyone heard this, they were shocked. They heard Hongjun Daozu say again: "When the time comes, I will be the Heavenly Dao, not Hongjun, and I will only care about the general situation. If the general situation of Honghuang does not change, I will not appear in Honghuang. You must also remember that you cannot go against the Heaven, otherwise even if you are a saint, there will be punishment from Heaven." After that, Hongjun Daozu's eyes suddenly became deep, and everyone was unconsciously attracted to his eyes. They felt an incomparably terrifying heavenly power erupting, and they seemed to be in a trance as if they were in a heavenly punishment.
The terrifying feeling of becoming so insignificant under the might of heaven made everyone sweat profusely.
When he woke up and looked at Hongjun Daozu again, his eyes had returned to normal.
But everyone also knew that this was a warning from Daozu Hongjun to them, so they all said they didn't dare.
Daozu Hongjun nodded and was about to dismiss everyone when Houtu suddenly stood up and asked, "Daozu, Houtu has something to ask."
Upon hearing this, Daozu Hongjun glanced at Houtu and said, "I already know your doubts. We will have a chance to solve them in the future. Please leave now."
When Hou Tu heard this, although she didn't know what Hongjun Daozu was talking about, she had no choice but to sit back.
After Hongjun answered Houtu's question, he did not allow the crowd to continue asking questions like he did last time. Instead, he directly announced the end of the sermon and asked everyone to go back to seclusion and practice meditation and come back ten thousand years later.
Then he disappeared from the platform. Seeing this, everyone stood up and left Zixiao Palace.
Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun stood up and saw Hou Tu still sitting there. Zhen Yuanzi called out, "Sister Hou Tu, let's go."
Hou Tu seemed to come back to her senses, and forced a smile, then said to Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun: "My two Taoist friends, I'm afraid I won't come to the next lecture."
"Why?" Zhen Yuanzi asked with a frown.
Hou Tu shook her head and explained, "The Dao that Hongjun Daozu preached is becoming more and more profound. After all, I am an ancestor witch, and I don't have a primordial spirit, so I gained almost nothing from preaching this time."
"Next time, I will talk about the way of the saints, which will be even more difficult to understand. So instead of gaining nothing, it is better to stay in the clan and reunite with the brothers."
Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but sigh and said, "Well, that's fine! But Hou Tu, don't be discouraged. As the saying goes, different paths lead to the same destination. The soul and the body just have their own strengths."
"Although you Wu clan don't cultivate your soul, your physical body is very powerful. In the prehistoric world, what race can defeat you?"
Hou Tu heard this and smiled, "Thank you for your comfort, Brother Zhen Yuan. In that case, Hou Tu will leave first."
Zhen Yuanzi watched Hou Tu leave, and then after being slapped by Hong Yun, he suddenly came to his senses.
When I turned around, I saw a wicked smile on Hongyun's face.
"What's wrong?" Zhen Yuanzi asked puzzledly.
"Brother, are you interested in Miss Hou Tu?" Hong Yun asked with a smile.
When Zhen Yuanzi heard this, he quickly covered Hong Yun's mouth, then looked around guiltily. Seeing that no one noticed, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Hong Yun, "Don't talk nonsense, we are just fellow Taoists."
"And don't you think that the ancient witches would be very disappointed if they don't have their own spirits and can't listen to the teachings?"
Hong Yun thought for a moment and said, "That's because you, brother, have never been hit by their fists. Aren't their bodies something we envy?"
Zhen Yuanzi nodded and shook his head. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. He just said, "Okay, let's go back too."
The two of them also left the Zixiao Palace, and together they offered up their lotus platforms and returned to Wanshou Mountain.
However, he planned to return to the mountain to discuss and exchange ideas, and then use the method of beheading the three corpses to break through the realm and be promoted to a quasi-saint.
