Chapter 131: The Loach That Can Bend and Stretch

If I had known it would be like this, I should have just made it easier for myself.

So it turns out that when Zixiao Palace held its lectures back then, it was to round up three thousand Red Dust Guests from across the world.

But it was all just a facade.

When Hongjun attained sainthood back then, he was in cahoots with the Heavenly Dao.

In truth, even if they did not lecture on the Great Dao, Taiqing and Yuanshi could still have realized the method to attain sainthood.

It is a pity that they were too impatient back then, and the path forward in the Great Desolation was indeed severed.

No one dared to move forward, or rather, the speed of moving forward was too slow.

One way is to have someone give you the method, the other is to grope for it slowly on your own.

At that time, the Great Desolation was in turmoil, and no living being was willing to waste time.

Therefore, when Hongjun lectured in Zixiao Palace, it was deliberately arranged.

His sword pointed at the three thousand Red Dust Guests, but his intent was only on the Three Pure Ones.

Under the condition that everything went smoothly, he would eventually suppress the Three Pure Ones under the Heavenly Dao.

It is not that Hongjun did not try to find a way to obtain the Pangu Primordial Spirit Origin from the Three Pure Ones back then.

But under the Opening Heaven Merit, whoever touched it would die.

Not to mention the Three Pure Ones, even the Wu Clan, Hongjun did not dare to touch.

You cannot imagine how stifled he felt.

As the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao, he could only rely on pushing the Great Calamity to deal with them in the end.

"Teacher, you have gone back on your word; you are unworthy of being a teacher!!"

So it turns out that when Taiqing became the Heavenly Dao, Yuanshi harbored evil intentions.

At this time, the one who used the Bewitchment Dao on Yuanshi was not Luo Hou.

This mysterious person was, in fact, Hongjun.

After all.

No one understood the six disciples under his seat better than Hongjun.

After a series of manipulations, Yuanshi eventually obeyed obediently.

It was also because of Yuanshi that Hongjun was able to obtain a wisp of the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation from his arch-rival.

And it was this very wisp of the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation that Luo Hou did not care about that allowed him to find the treasure on Taixu Mountain.

"Enough nonsense, today I shall attain the Great Dao, and in the future, I will not forget you!!!"

Hongjun was surrounded by Dao essence, and his aura surged into the sky.

He had actually reached the realm of the Half-step Great Dao.

It turns out that Hongjun had been hiding his strength all along, and this was naturally out of fear that the Heavenly Dao would find out.

As a loach, Hongjun's greatest strength was not his power.

It was his ability to bend and stretch!!!

Precisely because of this, even the will of the Heavenly Dao.

Could not detect at all that the Hongjun it had been controlling was actually just a clone of Hongjun.

At such a realm.

Even if they had fought seriously back at Pangu Hall, Dijiang might not have fared well.

Even his long-time rival Luo Hou, if he had discovered that Hongjun had already stepped into the Half-step Great Dao, would likely have had his fighting spirit extinguished completely.

And if the will of the Heavenly Dao knew of Hongjun's current realm, it would never have given him any chances.

It probably would have regretted its guts out when it let him undergo Dao Integration back then.

As the power of the Half-step Great Dao erupted, Hongjun's physical body swelled, and he actually used the Law of Heaven and Earth to transform into a towering giant.

Dual cultivation of life and essence!!!

Hongjun created the Three Corpses Severing Method, and he did indeed practice this method.

Otherwise, why would the Heavenly Dao, Dijiang, and even Luo Hou be unable to tell that Hongjun was fake?

It was simply because there was no fake Hongjun at all.

The Hongjun who merged with the Heavenly Dao was Hongjun.

The Hongjun who died in Pangu Hall was also Hongjun.

This current Hongjun is likewise Hongjun.

Every Hongjun was real, and every Hongjun was orchestrated by Hongjun himself.

The Three Corpses Method severs three external Daoist incarnations.

Moreover.

Hongjun not only practiced the Three Corpses Severing Method, but he also cultivated his own physical body to the realm of the Half-step Great Dao.

In cultivation, once they reach this realm, there is actually no distinction between the physical body and the Primordial Spirit; they are merely carriers for the Great Dao.

But living beings themselves are formed by the convergence of essence, energy, and spirit.

The more carriers one has, the stronger the Great Dao one cultivates naturally becomes.

Hongjun had three methods on his path to sainthood back then.

Among them, he did not pass down the inheritance for proving the Dao through strength, but he had long since obtained the cultivation method from the Creation Jade Disk.

In the Immortal Dao he fused, he even purified his physical body to the Half-step Great Dao.

Now everything is ready, and the east wind has already begun to blow.

Looking at the vortex before him.

Hongjun, at the Half-step Great Dao realm, has already seen the path of the Immortal Dao.

At this moment, Yuanshi was like a marionette in his hands.

"Saint sacrifice, Immortal Dao evergreen, open for me!!!"

Using his own half-step Immortal Dao Power, Hongjun forcibly pushed Yuanshi into the vortex.

Another Saint had died, and this time, it was a true death.

As Yuanshi was swallowed by the vortex, a bloody rain suddenly began to fall from the sky.

That terrifying downpour washed directly through the Chaos.

Inside Pangu Hall.

With the Three Paths merging into one, the Opening Heaven Great Dao was generated naturally.

It transformed into the Opening Heaven Great Fire, burning Dijiang directly into a ball.

At this time, Taiqing was no longer worried about whether Dijiang could still be alive.

Instead, he was struggling desperately.

After all, with the Three Paths fused, was he still himself? The domineering nature of the Opening Heaven Great Dao was displayed to the fullest at this moment.

It allowed no resistance from Taiqing; since the Three Paths had merged, if they were to be separated, it would have to be decided by the three Great Way Lords.

Precisely because of the current situation, the Heavenly Dao became increasingly dissatisfied with Taiqing.

Although the will of the Heavenly Dao wanted to strip away the authority right now.

Yet, not to mention Taiqing, even the Heavenly Dao itself was unable to act according to its own will.

Conversely, Luo Hou and Tongtian, since they could not resist, seized the opportunity and were crazily comprehending the Dao.

The other one.

Having repaid the favor to the Wu Clan, Tongtian had no more regrets, so he was the same as Tongtian.

Using the power of Humanity and the merit of the Opening Heaven Great Dao, he went to comprehend his Jie Sword Great Dao.

Even magical treasures formed from Opening Heaven Merit could shake the Great Desolation, let alone the entire Opening Heaven Great Dao being right before their eyes.

Seizing the opportunity, the cultivation of Luo Hou and Tongtian soared rapidly.

From the Entering the Dao realm, Luo Hou quickly comprehended the Small Dao realm.

His aura became increasingly profound and terrifying.

And Tongtian himself was the Jie Sword Great Dao.

Its branches included interception, destiny, fortune, sword Qi, and so on.

In his philosophy, the Jie Sword Great Dao was not a simple Great Dao.

It was composed of countless Great Daos, among which "Jie" and "Sword" were the keys.

Now, with the infinite comprehension granted by the Opening Heaven Great Dao, Tongtian was like a sponge.

From Saint, then Dao Integration, and then Entering the Dao.

In a short moment, he had broken through three realms in succession.

He achieved a realm that many living beings could not reach in countless great eons; even Luo Hou, who was on the side, was shocked.

He could not help but speed up his own comprehension of the Dao, fearing he would be surpassed by a junior.

And Taiqing, who had been struggling all along, finally managed to sober up.

After discovering the benefits of the Opening Heaven Great Dao, it was already too late.

Just as he also wanted to enter a state of Dao comprehension, the death of Yuanshi appeared directly in their minds.

Red flower, white lotus root, green lotus leaf.

This saying was no joke.

Even though they had fallen out due to reasons like philosophy, Great Dao, and personal desires.

Yet, in their essence, they still originated from the Pangu Primordial Spirit.

Even though their Pangu Primordial Spirit Origin had been taken away, this mysterious connection could still not disappear.
