Chapter 158: Chapter 156 [Primordial Golden Immortal, Slaying Two Corpses] (Please Subscribe)

Kunpeng’s Primordial Spirit is somewhat unique; ordinary beings only have one Primordial Spirit, while he actually has two, which are the Kun Fish Primordial Spirit and the Roc Primordial Spirit.

These two Primordial Spirits, just like the Taiji Yin Yang, can switch at will and can also merge into one... Therefore, Kunpeng’s power of the Primordial Spirit is several times that of fellow Cultivators of the same realm, and even if one Primordial Spirit falls, he can rely on the other to re-evolve. It can be said to be an extremely counter-heavenly ability!

"No wonder Emperor Jun’s Evil Summoning Banner has no effect on Kunpeng; that guy probably only gave one of his two Primordial Spirits to Emperor Jun at the beginning!"

Xuanqing suddenly realized.

At that time, during the fierce battle between the Witch Demons, Kunpeng directly escaped and even took away the River Map and Luo Book that Emperor Jun used to set up the "Primordial River Luo Formation". Emperor Jun wanted to use the "Evil Summoning Banner" to force Kunpeng to return the two Spiritual Treasures, but in the end, it was of no use.

Now it seems that the "Evil Summoning Banner" wasn’t ineffective, but Kunpeng, having two Primordial Spirits, brazenly withstood the risk of soul backlash and outsmarted Emperor Jun.

And over the years, Kunpeng has never left Beiming, presumably using the other Primordial Spirit to re-evolve the one extinguished by the "Evil Summoning Banner".

In fact, if he hadn’t seen with his own eyes the Feathered Immortal developing a "Second Primordial Spirit", he wouldn’t dare believe that such a secret was contained within Kunpeng’s bloodline!

"Looking at it this way, Pangu’s Nine Transformations might not be just as simple as they look on the surface; it involves not only the physical body but also the Primordial Spirit!"

"Wait a minute..."

"It is said that The Three Pure Ones were transformed from Pangu’s Primordial Spirit, but is it after the fall of Pangu that the Primordial Spirit actively divided, or did Pangu originally have three Primordial Spirits?"

"Since Kunpeng and the Feathered Immortal can both give birth to two Primordial Spirits, wouldn’t it make sense for Pangu, who created heaven and earth, to have three Primordial Spirits?"

"From Dao comes one, from one comes two, from two comes three, from three comes all things... When the power of the Primordial Spirit is strong enough, evolving a second and third Primordial Spirit, or even more, doesn’t seem impossible!"

The more Xuanqing thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed, so he immediately returned to Golden Turtle Island to consult the Tongtian Sect Master, and he couldn’t help but speculate that Taiching’s "One Qi Transforms into The Three Pure Ones" involved the mystery of Primordial Spirit division, and after having mastered the Yuqing Dao and Shangqing Dao, he could very well evolve new Taiqing Primordial Spirits, Yuqing Primordial Spirits, and Shangqing Primordial Spirits on his own!

"It’s not impossible!"

After hearing Xuanqing’s analysis, the Tongtian Sect Master immediately laughed and said: "Everyone knows that Pangu’s physical body is unmatched, but one must not underestimate his Primordial Spirit and Mana... otherwise, how would we have your two Senior Uncles and me?"

Although all the beings in the Primordial world were transformed from Pangu, only those transformed directly from Pangu’s Primordial Spirit, The Three Pure Ones, and those transformed from Pangu’s Essence Blood, the Twelve Ancestor Witches, can be called the authentic lineage of Pangu... This wasn’t them boasting, but their blood or Primordial Spirits really inherited parts of Pangu’s Dao fragments!

Why did the Great Dao Merit only choose The Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestor Witches and not other Primordial beings?

Could it be that the Great Dao also believes that only The Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestor Witches can truly be considered Pangu’s authentic lineage?

Xuanqing thought about it; practice is the only standard to test the truth. If you want to clear up the secrets of Pangu’s Nine Transformations, the secret of the nine Dao bodies must be investigated!

He directly went to the World of Darkness.

Here, there are nine little Taiyang Stars containing the bloodline of Xi He, and Qiu Shouxian containing the Primordial Lion bloodline, which might help him unlock the secrets of Pangu’s Nine Transformations!

He first found the nine little Taiyang Stars and studied them carefully, discovering their Primordial Spirits could originally draw the power of the Taiyang Star to grow continuously.

In the beginning, when Emperor Jun founded the Demon Clan, he not only created the "Taiyin Refining Form Technique" but also, according to his own Dao, created the "Great Sun Refining God Technique" that could enhance the power of the Primordial Spirit... however, beings are all selfish, and he only passed on the "Great Sun Refining God Technique" to several of his offspring!

"Interesting!"

Having understood the secret of the Taiyang Star’s transformation, Xuanqing then approached Qiu Shouxian and said he had a way to enhance the power contained in his bloodline.

Qiu Shouxian didn’t doubt him and immediately transformed into his true form, allowing Xuanqing to apply his Divine Skills.

Xuanqing followed the book, just as he had with the Feathered Immortal, casting a ray of "World Purification Divine Light" to help Qiu Shouxian purify the impurities in his bloodline.

Originally, Qiu Shouxian only had one head, but as the power of his bloodline kept rising, new heads kept emerging, each containing a Primordial Spirit.

The power of his Primordial Spirit was several times stronger than that of the Feathered Immortal of the same realm!

"So that’s how it is!"

Xuanqing immediately understood the secret of the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits bloodline: "The reason why he’s called the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits is because he has nine Primordial Spirits!"

As for the Dao bodies of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, and Qilin, he had refined a wisp of their essence, so there was no need for him to research like this!

The Azure Dragon contains the Creation Dao; it can be continuously nourished by the Creation Essence and support the growth of the Primordial Spirit.

The White Tiger contains the Killing Dao; it can use constant killing to strengthen its own Primordial Spirit.

The Vermilion Bird contains the Nirvana Dao; essentially, it uses Nirvana to complete the transformation of the Primordial Spirit.

The Xuanwu contains the Yin Yang Dao; Yin and Yang generate each other, which can be used to promote the growth of the Primordial Spirit.

The Qilin contains the Balance Dao; balancing the Five Elements, it uses the power of the Yin Yang Five Elements to help the Primordial Spirit transform.

As for the Dao bodies of the Taiyang Star, Kunpeng, and Primordial Lion, they build upon the changes of the previous five kinds, bringing the power of the Primordial Spirit and the Physical Body to a new stage.

Pangu’s nine transformations in a day, divine in heaven, holy on earth, the previous eight transformations involve not only the change of the physical body, but also the transformations of the Primordial Spirit and the Dao... As for the Innate Taoist Body that symbolizes the ninth transformation, it’s because it has already completed the transformation, in harmony with the heart of heaven and the Chaos Dao, it appears to have returned to simplicity!

"Roar!"

While Xuanqing was deep in thought, the nearby Qiu Shouxian, with nine heads, started to fight each other: "Senior Brother, my Primordial Spirit power has increased too fast, it’s several times stronger than before, and I feel like I can’t control it well!"

Hearing this, Xuanqing immediately pointed at Qiu Shouxian’s head, helping to subdue his other Primordial Spirits, while imprinting the "Great Sun Refining God Technique" he had learned from the little Taiyang Stars into Qiu Shouxian’s Primordial Spirit: "Small problem! As long as you practice the spell I’ve taught you, you’ll be able to command the other eight Primordial Spirits as easily as your own limbs!"

"Now, with the enhancement of your bloodline’s power, reaching the Daluo Golden Immortal should not be a problem for you; in the days to come, practice well!"

"Do not let down the expectations of the teacher!"

Xuanqing did not want to reveal the matter of the "Twelve Grade Purifying World White Lotus," so for the Feathered Immortal and Qiu Shouxian’s bloodline enhancement, he attributed it all to the Tongtian Sect Master.

"Yes!"

Qiu Shouxian quickly nodded in agreement.

However, the sight of his nine heads nodding simultaneously was quite comical.

He immediately transformed into his Innate Taoist Body form and respectfully bowed towards the direction of Golden Turtle Island: "Disciple Qiu Shouxian will not disappoint teacher’s expectations!"

Whereas Xuanqing silently departed and directly found a place on Luo Feng Mountain to close in cultivation.

With the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill" as the foundation, he integrated the methods of "Tai Chu Nine Refinements" and "Pangu’s Nine Transformations" into it, instantly evolving a new method.

Primordial Chaos Nine Refinements!

This is a comprehensive method, aimed at enhancing the Primordial Spirit, Physical Body, Mana, and Great Dao, profound and unfathomable, sufficient to completely assist him in knocking on the gates of the Primordial Golden Immortal Realm.

Threads of Creation Divine Radiance merged into his physical body, as countless Innate Daoist Scriptures interwove, transforming into beams of divine light, merging into every inch of his skin, every inch of his flesh, and every inch of his bones... And his Daluo physical body transformed intermittently into an Azure Dragon, a White Tiger, and a Vermilion Bird as if it sought to exhaust the way of transformations!

Even the top-notch Divine Skill of "Embryo Transforming Form Technique" from the Xuan Sect’s three teachings was not comparable to his current metamorphosis, which touched upon the essence of origin.

And his Primordial Spirit also underwent continuous transformation, with the Multiverse endlessly expanding, forming a vast ocean of Primordial Spirits, with the infinite power of the Primordial Spirit capable of evolving all things.

Even the previously transformed Mana underwent a new round of metamorphosis, if the original Mana was iron, the present Mana had become steel!

Boom!

The Physical Body invoked the Power of Heaven and Earth, releasing thunderous sounds, Creation Divine Radiance surged endlessly, as if the Great Dao played heavenly music, composing the Chapter of life.

Mana, Primordial Spirit, and Physical Body became unified, beginning to feed back to the Dao Fruit, with the almost complete Daluo Dao Fruit instantly evolving with the meaning of Primordial Chaos as one.

Chaos Qi descended from the void, falling into the auspicious clouds above Xuanqing’s head, evolving into a Chaotic Universe, with boundless Great Daos unfolding heaven and earth within it.

Method with Primordial Spirit, Divine Spirit like the Universe, Body like Chaos, Dao that transforms heaven and earth... The four prerequisites for stepping into the Primordial Golden Immortal have all been achieved by him now!

And he, as a matter of course, naturally transitioned into the realm of the Primordial Golden Immortal!

But this was not the end!

With a thought from Xuanqing, the "Twelve Grade Destructive Black Lotus" and "Twelve Grade Purifying World White Lotus" appeared from the auspicious clouds above his head in unison with his intentions.

The gate to the path of the Primordial Golden Immortal had been knocked open by him, thus the practice of the Slash Three Corpses could not fall too far behind the path of the Primordial Golden Immortal.

He, at present, lacked not Merit, and could directly Slash away two of his corpses utilizing the power of Merit.

"Slash!"

Xuanqing shouted loudly, and from within his Primordial Spirit, instantly a good thought and an evil thought separated, each carrying the power of Merit and affixed upon two Innate Spiritual Treasures.

However, unlike other Cultivators who Slash their corpses, when he expelled the evil thought, he chose the purifying "Twelve Grade Purifying World White Lotus" to hold it.

And when he expelled the good thought, he selected the symbol of destruction, the "Twelve Grade Destructive Black Lotus."

This was also his thoroughly deliberated idea.

Heaven and Earth divide Yin and Yang, humans bear good and evil, just as the Taiji Yin Yang is, within Yin is Yang, within Yang is Yin, within evil is good, within good is evil, only this conforms to the Way of Heaven and Earth.

"There is no body of good and evil at heart, but there is good and evil in intent, to know good and evil is the conscience, to do good and dispel evil is fundamental, only to achieve the unity of good and evil can one glimpse the essence of things, and match the balance of Yin Yang Dao!"

"If one only possesses extreme goodness, or say extreme evil, it is also biased."

As the Good Corpse and Evil Corpse were manifested from Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, as soon as they materialized, they possessed an aura not inferior to common Quasi-Saint Cultivators.

Moreover, because there is good within the evil and evil within the good, the Good Corpse and Evil Corpse that Xuanqing Slashed out were far more sentient than the typical Cultivator’s Good Corpse and Evil Corpse.

"Not bad!"

Xuanqing nodded in satisfaction.

Immediately with a thought, he recollected the Good and Evil Corpses back into the Mud Pill Palace.

Good Corpse and Evil Corpse can leave the original body and move freely, but the vast majority of Quasi-Saint Cultivators in the Primordial world choose to keep their Three Corpses Incarnations within the Mud Pill Palace.

The reason is simple!

The Good Corpse and Evil Corpse are both entrusted upon Innate Spiritual Treasures, and most Quasi-Saint Cultivators do not possess multiple Innate Spiritual Treasures; if they allow the Slashed Three Corpses to leave the original body, the original body would lack protective Spiritual Treasures.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, the Three Corpses’ strength is a notch below the original body, should they venture outside, they could easily be killed by others.

Once the Three Corpses Incarnation is slaughtered by someone, it would be difficult to retrieve the Innate Spiritual Treasures, which held the good thoughts, evil thoughts, or obsession back from the enemy!

Ao Hong was a cautionary tale!

Back then, during the celestial marriage of clones of Fu Xi and Nuwa, his Good Corpse was spying on the side and was directly discovered and slain by Xuanqing and Xuan Dou.

Therefore, unable to guarantee the safety of the Three Corpses Incarnations, Xuanqing did not intend to let his Good and Evil Corpses stray too far from himself, the original body.

Moreover, he also planned to study the Nirvana Dao contained in the "Twelve Grade Purifying World White Lotus!"

He was prepared to combine it with the Swallowing Great Dao, then integrate it into his Refining Dao.
