Chapter 1461

He didn't want to work for Buddha.

But working for another Jin Chan, he had no objections.

More importantly—this was a great world, and Tang Xuanzang's sect was blessed with boundless fortune.

Working here, he had a chance to become a Da Luo.

This was precisely why he came to this realm and met Tang Xuanzang.

Tang Xuanzang naturally understood the other's thoughts, but he didn't care.

It's better to have desires!

Without desires, how could you get someone to work for you?

After all, he was opening his doors wide to recruit disciples—giving a position to his own kind, Jin Chan, was better than giving one to someone else, wasn't it?

Besides, this way he'd also make a good impression on the Dao Jun!

This was a win-win situation.

Three Immortal Isles.

The live broadcast feed was directly projected into Zhao Gongming's three minds.

It wasn't projected into empty space, of course, for fear of being discovered.

Since they hadn't yet become sages, they had to be cautious in all things.

Qiongxiao: "Wow, this Dao Jun is so handsome! Sister, why didn't you tell me before!"

Bixiao sighed: "Big sister isn't like you, fixated only on appearance."

Yunxiao sighed: "Yes, back then I was only thinking about cultivation—why would I mention such trivial matters?"

Qiongxiao was stunned: "Trivial? That's extremely important!"

Zhao Gongming and the other three exchanged glances, utterly helpless.

Qiongxiao's personality was just like this.

Innocent and straightforward, her focus differed from ordinary cultivators.

This was the result of their indulgence.

Otherwise, in this cruel world, how could Qiongxiao have maintained such a blunt personality?

As they spoke, the live broadcast showed Zhang Taixuan straightening his expression—the scene fell silent—as he began to expound on the path of cultivation.

This time, his teaching covered not only the Immortal Martial Way, but also the Three Corpses Path to Sagehood.

From mortal to Hunyuan, he explained every detail in depth, leaving viewers in the Journey to the West world and all other worlds nodding in agreement, feeling profoundly enlightened.

Yaochi.

"So the Three Corpses Path to Sagehood requires a Creation Jade Disc from a great world—no wonder no one has become a sage through this path in all these years; the Famen was simply never found," thought Yudi.

Wang Mu sighed: "We've pondered for years, yet a single word from the Dao Jun has enlightened us."

Yet even with the method now known, everyone found themselves helplessly aware.

Hunyuan was still difficult.

Yudi was indeed the supreme strongest in heaven and earth.

But to claim he could single-handedly subdue the Three Realms and force all other Zhunsheng to abandon refining Creation Jade Discs and forsake the Hunyuan Da Luo path? That was utterly impossible.

This was a struggle over the Dao—no matter the cost of death or soul annihilation, Zhunsheng cultivators would fight to the end, with no possibility of retreat.

Yudi and Wang Mu exchanged glances, then looked down at the Zhunsheng listening to the teaching, seeing the battle-lust in their eyes.

"It seems this path is not easy—carelessness could risk plunging heaven and earth back into chaos," Yudi softly shook his head, suppressing countless thoughts within him, and continued listening.

After the Three Corpses Path to Sagehood, he taught the Immortal Martial Way.

The Immortal Martial Way involves refining the Divine Demon Body, refining the Primordial Divine Demon Body.

This path was, conversely, simpler than the Three Corpses Path to Sagehood.

At least it didn't require subduing the great divine beings of the Three Realms, nor did it involve refining a Creation Jade Disc or creating heaven and earth.

Great divine beings merely needed to comprehend the mysteries of the Divine Demon Body, spend some time, and could create similar techniques to enter this realm.

Of course, "simple" was only relative.

The mysteries of the Divine Demon Body, or the Primordial Divine Demon Body, were not something one could penetrate in a short time.

Moreover, gathering the countless resources needed to refine the Divine Demon Body was no easy task—even Zhunsheng cultivators had to venture deep into chaos to collect them.

This naturally involved many risks.

The teaching lasted forty-nine days, then Zhang Taixuan stopped.

· ···Seeking flowers···· ···

"This Dao assembly is over. Cultivate diligently from now on—you will all have a chance to attain Hunyuan."

As he spoke, the listeners snapped back to awareness, gazing at Zhang Taixuan, reluctant to let go.

"Dao Zu, your mercy is boundless!"

"Does Dao Zu have any intention of taking disciples?" Yudi suddenly asked.

Everyone turned to Yudi, internally groaning.

You're the Supreme Ruler of the Three Realms—do you have no dignity?

Taking a master? Isn't that something for us lowly cultivators to do?

You're the Supreme Ruler of the Three Realms—don't lower yourself!

Yudi paid no attention to the others, only gazing expectantly at Zhang Taixuan.

He understood their thoughts perfectly—and found them utterly contemptible.

Opportunity is right before you—what's the value of face?

Zhang Taixuan smiled lightly: "Why not?"

"Patriarch, merciful!"

Bodhi, Zhen Yuanzi, and the others heard these words and hurriedly rose to pay their respects as well.

Zhang Taixuan's gaze sharpened slightly: "This realm can bear six Saints — the Jade Emperor, Taishang, Bodhi, Zhenyuan, Wukong, Tang Xuanzang — all have the chance to achieve Sainthood."

The six were overjoyed.

"However, the Dao is not lightly transmitted. I require the authority of this realm's Heavenly Dao. Might that be acceptable?"

At these words, everyone fell to thinking.

The authority of the Heavenly Dao — that is, the world itself.

This was naturally extremely important.

But not one of them could thoroughly subdue the others; something like the Heavenly Dao's authority was something they could not occupy.

If the Patriarch wanted it, there seemed to be no need to oppose him.

Achieving Sainthood was what they most urgently needed.

"Many thanks, Patriarch. I agree to this." The Jade Emperor bowed in salute.

As his words fell, Tang Xuanzang and the others also bowed, their faces sincere.

As the few with the strongest strength and the greatest fortune in the world gave their consent—

At once, a force of the Heavenly Dao descended upon Zhang Taixuan.

It was precisely at this moment that Zhang Taixuan established a sliver of connection with the Heavenly Dao. Immortal light bloomed in his hands as he began to commune with heaven and earth, condensing the authority of the Heavenly Dao — the Jade Disc of Creation.

While condensing the Jade Disc of Creation, he asked: "You may consider — do you wish to achieve Sainthood through the perfection of the Three Corpses, or through the path of Immortal Martial Arts?"
