Of course, the method of “Proving Dao with Power” was revered as the strongest Technique in Heaven and Earth, manifesting its fearsome nature only among the Quasi-Saints.

A half-step Quasi-Saint could entirely match a Quasi-Saint who had cut off a Good Corpse, and when facing those Quasi-Saints who had not cut the Good and Evil Corpses, they could easily be invincible and slay them amidst Heaven and Earth.

If Ye Xuan managed to unify spirit and flesh and cultivated his Daluo Immortal Body to Great Success, stepping into the ranks of a Quasi-Saint, even Quasi-Saints who had cut away both Good and Evil Corpses would surely be no match for him.

With the Heavenly Dao Nine Tribulations, each tribulation was a major life-or-death ordeal; if he could survive the first three, he would be completely qualified to challenge the Saints, and even The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa could only hope to tie with Ye Xuan.

And if Ye Xuan could survive the Heavenly Dao Six Tribulations, he would completely transcend above the Saints.

It’s not to say he could kill the Saints, but sweeping aside beings like The Three Pure Ones would pose no difficulty whatsoever.

If Ye Xuan could pass the Heavenly Dao Nine Tribulations and directly transcend the Heavenly Dao, becoming the Saint of all beings, the so-called Saints could be extinguished with a snap of his fingers, and even the Heavenly Dao’s Hong Jun would undoubtedly be no match for Ye Xuan.

As Sun Wukong spoke at length, Ye Xuan’s expression changed unpredictably, filled with excitement, yet also bearing an extremely solemn tint.

Not to mention the terrifyingly extreme Heavenly Dao Nine Tribulations, just the present Ye Xuan faced two major problems.

Firstly, to transform his Undying Primordial Spirit into an Undying True Spirit and step into half-step Quasi-Saint, he must absorb endless Cultivation Dao Fruits.

But where could he find the Cultivation Dao Fruits that could help him enter a half-step Quasi-Saint?

Devouring the so-called Daluo Golden Immortals was utterly insufficient, only the Dao Fruits of a Quasi-Saint could allow him to rapidly transform his Primordial Spirit into an Undying True Spirit, granting him power comparable to that of a Quasi-Saint who had cut off a Good Corpse.

The second point was that the Daluo Immortal Body was only one step away from Great Success, but that one step was as vast as the difference between Heaven and Earth, leaving him without any hope in sight.

Looking at Ye Xuan’s silent figure, Sun Wukong let out a sigh and said, “I’ve said all that should be said.

You should leave now; let this be considered a good bond we’ve shared.”

After Sun Wukong finished speaking, his eyes softly closed, clearly indicating that the guest should leave; he did not wish to have any further dealings with Ye Xuan.

Unfortunately, Ye Xuan did not move.

His eyes flashed with brilliance as he scrutinized Sun Wukong, a profound depth growing in his gaze.

“The demon monkey within you, that’s the Evil Corpse you’ve severed, isn’t it?” Ye Xuan said as he sat cross-legged, looking straight at Sun Wukong, his voice becoming calm and even.

Boom!

Buddha Light filled the sky, waves formed, Sun Wukong opened his eyes, and his golden eyes whirred as they turned towards Ye Xuan, a hint of unfriendliness looming in his gaze.

“You’re quite bold to have designs on me,” Sun Wukong said in a deep voice.

“You are mistaken, Daoist.

I’m not harboring designs on you; I am saving you.”

A strange smile curled at the corner of Ye Xuan’s mouth as he looked straight into Sun Wukong’s eyes, his voice smooth and gentle as if talking with an old friend for many years.

“Save me?”

Sun Wukong laughed, his smile exuding too much Buddhanature, lacking any harshness but instead filled with compassionate colors, while his look at Ye Xuan became even more unfriendly.

“Daoist really knows how to jest.

You must be eyeing my Evil Corpse, right?” Sun Wukong’s voice gradually grew colder.

“Haha!”

Suddenly, Ye Xuan burst into loud laughter, echoing in all directions.

When his laughter ceased, his calm voice resonated at that moment.

“Daoist is right; I indeed have designs on your Evil Corpse, and I have a heaven-defying Great Technique that can devour the Cultivation Dao Fruit of another.

If I could devour your inner Evil Corpse’s cultivation, I would be able to step into the ranks of a half-step Quasi-Saint.” Ye Xuan did not hide a thing, stating his intentions openly.

“Hehe!”

Sun Wukong chuckled, but his smile turned increasingly frosty as he said, “I must say, Daoist has quite the courage.

Aren’t you afraid of being reduced to ashes here?”

Boom!

The enveloping Buddha Light rose, time and space shifted within Heaven and Earth, and a golden giant hand covered the sky, unleashing unimaginable power as if ready to crush down on Ye Xuan at any moment.

A Quasi-Saint who had severed a Corpse was certainly not something Wan Du Old Ancestor could compare to.

Even though Ye Xuan was currently at the Daluo Peak, facing Sun Wukong, a Qauri-Saint of such extreme terror, he might escape with his life, but he would likely suffer unimaginable heavy losses.

Alas, facing Sun Wukong’s fierce momentum, Ye Xuan showed not the slightest agitation, his face still adorned with a smile as he looked at Sun Wukong.

“Daoist, there’s no need for this, could you listen to me explain slowly?

If you find my words useless, we can fight.

Even if I die at your hands, Ye Xuan will have no complaints,” Ye Xuan said with a smile.

“Alright, even if your words bloom like lotuses, unfortunately, I am not a child of three.” Sun Wukong’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the Buddha hand that covered the sky quietly dissipated, and the world fell silent once again.

“Daoist originates from the Five-Colored Divine Stone, your true body is that of the Intelligent Stone Monkey.

Transcending the Three Realms and not subject to the Five Elements, you also once practiced the Techniques of Proving Dao with Power.

It shows that Daoist is unwilling to submit to others, but unfortunately, in the end, you were close to great success but failed and had to switch to the path of Saint by Cutting Three Corpses.”

“However, Daoist, have you ever thought that since the Sky Opening, in this Heaven and Earth, the only one who has cut away the Three Corpses is Hong Jun alone; the six Saints of Heaven and Earth became Saints through their merit.”

“What does that have to do with me?” Sun Wukong’s voice came out cold and heavy.

“The Three Corpses: the Good Corpse, the Evil Corpse, and the Self.”

“With your great determination and wisdom, you cut away the Evil Corpse, and in the future, you may cut away the Good Corpse.

If you have the great courage, you may even discard the Self and achieve that supreme Saint Position.

But have you ever thought, at that time, will you still be the true you?”

As Ye Xuan’s words ended, Wukong’s fists clenched tightly, staring fixedly at Ye Xuan, yet no words of rebuttal came from his mouth.

If one paid close attention, they would notice his breath was slightly disturbed.

“Leaving aside whether you can successfully cut away the Three Corpses and become a Saint, even if you became the second person to achieve it, you would become indifferent and emotionless, operating like the Heavenly Dao.

Is this really the future you desire?”

“Take a look at your Evil Corpse; that is what you once were.

Once, you called yourself the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, once, you called yourself Sun Wukong, not the Fighting Saint Buddha of today.

“Reckless and unruly, wielding the Ruyi Jingu Bang, you dared to pierce the Heavenly Vault and roar against the injustice of the Heavenly Dao.

Yet your past self was cut away by your own hands.

Is this truly the path you wish to tread?”

Like a morning bell and evening drum, like the thunder from the Nine Heavens, Ye Xuan’s words continued to explode in Sun Wukong’s mind, causing his body and soul to tremble intensely, sinking into an indescribable state.

Buzz!

Suddenly, Sun Wukong flipped his palms, and his body shone with a blinding light.

The Demon Monkey sealed within him started to emerge.

As the Demon Monkey appeared outside, and when it saw Ye Xuan nod and smile at it, the Demon Monkey clenched its fists—despite being shrouded in demonic aura and Demon Light, it still bowed deeply to Ye Xuan.

“Thank you, Daoist, for your righteous words.”

The Demon Monkey spoke out in a deep voice, then suddenly turned to face Sun Wukong, his eyes meeting Sun Wukong’s, and said, “True Self, you and I are of one heart and body.

If you truly wish to tread the path of becoming a Saint by Cutting Three Corpses, today we should make a conclusion.

This way, you won’t be troubled by me, this Evil Corpse.”

“Who are you?”

Sun Wukong’s eyes were bewildered, but he stared intently at the Demon Monkey as if seeking an answer to a question he had long pondered.

“Who am I?”

The Demon Monkey laughed proudly, and its roar shook the sky, filling the eight directions of Heaven and Earth.

“I am the Great Sage Equalling Heaven; I am Sun Wukong.

I am you from the past.”

“True Self!”

Suddenly, a white light separated from Sun Wukong’s body, transforming directly into a golden monkey surrounded by a boundless Immortal Light, smiling at Sun Wukong at that moment.

“True Self, do you remember?

Back in the days at Huaguo Mountain, numerous demons roamed.

At that time, True Self, you had no skills but still fought those demons with your monkey kin, crossing the East Sea to the Western Continent to seek Master Puti, and you gained your abilities for the sake of protecting your kin.

Without those kind intentions, how could we have our today?”

“Good Corpse?”

Sun Wukong murmured tremulously.

He had clearly not yet cut away the Good Corpse, so why was it appearing on its own?

“The so-called Saint by Cutting Three Corpses is fundamentally a path that destroys one’s foundations.

Sun Wukong, do you truly wish to lose yourself and become an unfeeling law of Heaven and Earth?” Ye Xuan’s voice pounded in his ears like thunder, an enlightening roar.

“Ha ha!”

Suddenly, Sun Wukong burst into laughter, and the boundless world trembled.

His body glowed not with Buddha Light but a Chaos Light.

His slightly stooped back also straightened at this moment.

“Virtue and Bodhi are not the true fruits; today I finally understand—I am myself!”

Roaring against the sky, the world thundered, and all of Lingshan vibrated fiercely.

A defiant aura that dared to question the Heavens surged, causing even the whole of the Three Realms to momentarily pause.
