Chapter 1617

Zhang Taixuan: "Not weak at all. It's just that in some worlds, the strong have already had their hearts twisted, and I erased their strength and memories. Otherwise, you probably couldn't handle it. These twisted-hearted people aren't so easy to talk to."

Su Xiao: "Then they won't suddenly recover their memories, right?"

Huang Rong: "It seems little sister Xiao doubts her husband's methods. How about—let husband erase your memories and cultivation base, and see if you can recover?"

Su Xiao: "I don't want that!"

Xiao Mai: "Try it and you'll perish!"

Yun Xiao: "Rest assured, with the Dao Lord's face, what does it matter how strong their cultivation base is?"

Yun Xiao: "Besides, don't they all wish to hear the Dao Lord's Dao of Primordial Chaos? The more they've experienced the Nightmare Space, the more they'll crave power, right? Having experienced that kind of helpless predicament, power is something they absolutely cannot give up."

Su Xiao: "That's true."

Ye Hei: "The Quasi-Saint powerhouses on my side are all very well-behaved. Too wonderful."

Cloud Mist Mountain.

Su Xiao sat upright on the high platform, lecturing on the Dao of Immortal Martial Arts, the Dao of Golden Core, and various other paths of cultivation.

Though the three Cloud Sparrows' divine abilities were great, they listened with extra care.

High in the sky, some small cloud beasts also listened very attentively and earnestly.

The Cloud Mist World had been born for countless years, yet the Cloud Clan only knew how to grow naturally.

As for transmitting the Dao?

Who would do such a thing?

Regarding cultivation, the Cloud Clan always acted by instinct, and the efficiency was not high.

What Su Xiao lectured on happened to solve the urgent problems in their hearts.

The various cultivation paths were also perfectly suited for cloud beasts of all forms and dispositions.

It could be said that Su Xiao, who had learned broadly and eclectically, was a remarkably good fit for this world.

"So wondrous. Worthy of the supreme cultivation path passed down by the Dao Ancestor."

Cloud Sparrow praised in her heart, "Compared to ordinary cultivation, this is much easier, yet far more powerful. No wonder the Dao Ancestor could destroy the Lord of Nightmares."

Yun Long and Yun Feng were even more immersed in their cultivation, polishing their foundations according to the cultivation paths they had chosen.

The cultivation below Grand Luo, Su Xiao finished lecturing on in just a few years.

The cloud beasts in the sky had long since left; Cloud Mist Mountain was left with only the three Cloud Sparrows, and Cloud Mist Mountain itself was still listening.

"May I ask the Sect Master, how should one walk the path above Grand Luo?" After Su Xiao paused, Cloud Sparrow finally asked.

Su Xiao pondered: "To this day, the Dao Ancestor has already explained four paths to achieving Primordial Chaos. Since you ask today, let me speak of them."

"Four paths?"

"How can there be so many?"

The three Cloud Sparrows were greatly shocked.

Su Xiao nodded: "The first path, you should have heard of it: the path of becoming a Saint through the Three Corpses."

"Becoming a Saint through the Three Corpses?" Cloud Sparrow was puzzled. "Isn't that a dead end?"

Her experiences in the Nightmare Space had taken her through many worlds.

As far as she knew, apart from the legendary Hong Jun, no one else had ever successfully walked the path of becoming a Saint by beheading the Three Corpses.

Su Xiao smiled: "That's simply because you don't understand the mysteries within. The Dao Ancestor once said that this path requires two things to succeed."

Cloud Sparrow: "May I ask the Sect Master, what are they?"

Su Xiao: "First, to create heaven and earth; second, to condense and refine the Jade Disc of Creation. Once you cultivate to the perfection of the Three Corpses, then request the Dao Ancestor, and you should be able to receive the Dao Ancestor's bestowed method. So, if you wish to walk this path, simply accumulate merit for the Taixuan Sect and cultivate with a calm heart."

The three Cloud Sparrows suddenly understood.

"Another path is the Immortal Martial path. It can forge a body of Innate Gods and Demons, equivalent to the Primordial Chaos Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm. This realm, though it also consumes quite a few resources, requires no spiritual treasure to behead the Three Corpses, making it far more convenient."

The three nodded.

"The remaining two paths. One is achieving the Dao through force—extremely difficult, no need to mention. In any case, you need not consider this path."

The three Cloud Sparrows nodded.

"The second is the path of the Primordial Laws. Condense the various laws of a Great Thousand Worlds into Primordial Laws, gather the characteristics of Primordial Chaos, and achieve Primordial Chaos. This path, if one wishes to achieve Primordial Chaos in a single step, is extremely difficult; unless one is a figure like the Dao Ancestor, there's no need to think about it. Of course, if one's talent is truly lacking, one may also condense just a few laws into Laws of Primordial Chaos and become a Quasi-Saint."

"Although one cannot become a Saint, one can still surpass Grand Luo. For most cultivators, this may not necessarily be a bad thing."

Everyone listened in utter shock.

Cloud Sparrow asked again: "The characteristics of Primordial Chaos?"

Su Xiao nodded and told the story of the Lord of Nightmares.

"The Lord of Nightmares you know of cultivated to the perfection of Primordial Chaos, yet never extended the characteristics of Primordial Chaos outward—truly laughable."

The Cloud Sparrows listened, feeling their minds in complete chaos.

Such a fearsome Lord of Nightmares, and yet so laughable?

This gap was simply too great.

So great that they could not accept it for the moment.

They steadied themselves.

They finally turned their thoughts back to cultivation.

There was really no need to mock the Lord of Nightmares.

Because without the Dao Ancestor's guidance, they would probably only be figures like the Lord of Nightmares themselves.

No, perhaps even inferior to him.

After all, the other party had accumulated magic power and divine abilities to the perfection of Primordial Chaos.

This had already surpassed countless beings across the myriad heavens and worlds.

"Alright, matters in this world are settled; this incarnation of mine should depart as well." Su Xiao looked toward the sky, saw golden clouds rising, knew merit had arrived, and felt joy in her heart. "If you wish to cultivate the path of beheading the Three Corpses, leave your lineage in this world, then ascend to the Upper Realm. Now, the Taixuan Realm has become a top-tier world with no shortage of spiritual treasures—this is your opportunity."

"If you go too late, the experts from the thousands of worlds will have already ascended, and your chances of snatching a spirit treasure will be far fewer."

"Many thanks for the Sect Leader's guidance."
