Chapter 76: Diti: The Quasi‑Immortal Path Holds a Fatal Flaw, Fellow Daoists May

While his heart was unbearably gloomy.

Hongjun could not find any excuse to refute it at all.

The other charges can be set aside for now.

Simply for the fact that the preaching period had not yet arrived, closing the gates of Zixiao Palace early and cutting off other beings' chance to hear the Dao is a charge.

Haotian Boy could not possibly have a chance to turn things around.

He wanted to shield him, but had no way to start.

"Fellow Daoist, you are absolutely right."

"Had Zhu Rong not intervened in time, this child would not yet know what grave mistake he would have committed."

First, they softened toward Diti to prevent the other side from continuing to find excuses to entangle.

Hongjun then looked at the Haotian Boy, who was kneeling on the ground, repeatedly bowing his head.

"Remember this lesson."

"My purpose in preaching is to open a path for all beings and to seek blessings for myriad spirits."

"By closing the gate early, you may cut off future beings' chance to come and listen to the Great Dao."

"Considering you have served me for years and have not yet committed a great error,"

"I punish you by making you kneel outside Zixiao Palace."

"When the preaching ends, all beings will depart en masse."

"Only then can you return."

Seeing his punishment was so light.

Haotian Boy did not dare any hesitation at all.

He hurriedly thanked Hongjun for his great grace.

"Thank you, Sir, for your mercy."

"Thank you, Sir, for your mercy!"

After three kneelings and nine bows, he immediately rose, hurried out of Zixiao Palace, and respectfully knelt on the left side of the gate, like a statue, daring not a single tremor or movement!

The many innate saints and the strongest of all races who witnessed this were filled with astonishment and dread.

【5】 They each silently made up their minds.

They each silently made up their minds.

If not necessary, they must never offend Diti.

The feeling of being unable to fight and unable to argue.

"Only those who truly suffer know!"

"Compared to direct confrontation, scheming in the shadows suits me better."

Hongjun's gaze swept over the people below.

He felt both helpless and angry.

Yet he had no way to strike back.

He could only suppress everything in his heart and prepare to begin the second preaching.

Finish all this quickly and send Diti, the bane star, away as soon as possible!

But to prevent the other side from seizing another chance.

Hongjun calculated the time, and when the stipulated three thousand years had passed, he waved his hand to close the gates of Zixiao Palace.

"The time is about up."

"Today I speak of the Quasi-Immortal Path that leads directly to the Mixed Origin."

"I hope you can listen with a calm heart."

"The three bodies are divided into good, evil, and the true self..."

As the golden lotus of Daoic resonance appeared, the Great Dao's law manifested, and the vast majority of innate saints and the strongest of all races displayed a rapt, yearning posture of enlightenment.

Wang Shu and her two sisters, Tan Lang, Po Jun, and the other innate star gods had no intention of listening at all.

They came here only to follow Diti.

However, they could choose not to listen to the Quasi-Immortal Path.

But that does not mean they cannot make use of the environment inside Zixiao Palace!

Di Jiang and his two companions, lacking a primordial spirit, came to Zixiao Palace, even less likely to be there to listen.

Once the preaching began, they either used auspicious phenomena to perceive the bloodline within themselves, or, bored, roamed the heavens in spirit and fell into a deep sleep.

They never gave Hongjun any consideration.

"I thought the old stinky bug had something good to offer."

"Turns out it's just this little trick."

As time passed, Hongjun's endless exposition of the Quasi-Immortal Path continued.

Luo Hou gradually grasped the gist.

"By using a treasure to cut out one's own good thoughts, evil thoughts, and attachments, and leveraging the Great Dao law contained within the treasure, the three bodies merge into one, stepping into a half-step Mixed Origin Great Luo."

"Then, by combining the Dao one has cultivated with the primordial source of heaven and earth hidden in the treasure, one forcibly steps into the Mixed Origin Great Luo realm."

"This shortcut to enlightenment seems like a decent path."

"In reality, it is impossible to achieve enlightenment of the Mixed Origin."

"Even the treasures required in the early stage to cut the three bodies—those sharing the same root, source, and law—are scarce throughout Honghuang Tian Di."

"Moreover, the law contained in the treasure must align with the Dao one has cultivated."

"Its inherent primordial source must be abundant enough to aid one's forced breakthrough of the Mixed Origin Great Luo."

"These are all indispensable conditions."

If there truly is a fate that defies the heavens and one finds a treasure that meets three conditions.

And by sheer luck, prove the Dao of the Mixed Primordial Great Luo.

The power one possesses must also be the lowest among the Mixed Primordial Great Luo!

A slightly stronger Mixed Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal.

It is estimated that one could casually press the Mixed Primordial Great Luo that proves the Dao with this method onto the ground and rub it!

Diti listened to Luo Hou's transmitted voice, and a hint of mockery and amusement rose in his eyes.

A treasure that shares the same root, origin, and law is, for others, as hard as scaling the heavens, even a tale of fantasy.

But for me, as long as you can speak it, I can perfectly create it!

You say that if I were to speak this out later.

Within Thus line: Honghuang Tian Di, is there anyone still who would oppose me?

When those words were spoken, a trace of playful laughter and amusement instantly rose in Luo Hou's eyes.

Hongjun schemes and schemes.

I never imagined that he would actually make a wedding dress for a fellow Daoist.

This truly is the fickleness of fate, the whims of destiny, hahaha…

While Luo Hou was ecstatic, Hongjun was on the Nine Heavens mat, speaking the Dao in an endless torrent.

A vague chill brushed his body.

Instinctively, he glanced at Diti and Luo Hou.

However, the two had already withdrawn their gazes.

Feigning nonchalance, he half‑closed his eyes and began a spirit‑wandering beyond the heavens, perceiving the Dao he cultivated.

Even if he stared his eyes blind, he could not discern any abnormality.

He could only keep everything buried in his heart and continue expounding the Quasi‑Saint Path.

…

Heaven and earth drift lazily, years vast and hazy.

Five thousand years of time flash by in an instant.

Hongjun's discourse gradually reached its conclusion.

It must be said that although Hongjun was deceiving people, the Dao he spoke of was also a fragmentary Quasi‑Saint Path.

Yet his skill at weaving lies truly is the best in the world!

And the content he delivered, in plain language, simply told everyone present the basic points of the fragmentary Quasi‑Saint Path.

If Diti had not known in advance.

The other party's words contained a serious flaw.

Perhaps it might not even be discernible.

The Dao spoken by the other party unexpectedly harbored a fatal flaw capable of sealing all beings of heaven and earth, preventing cultivation insight and thus hindering self‑transcendence.

Daoist friend, I had overestimated Hongjun.

He uses such a trashy method of proving the Dao to deceive beings, and that's already enough.

Yet he also concealed the most crucial information.

Compared to him, I might truly be the genuine gentleman!

Seeing that the discourse was about to end.

Hongjun also did not announce the cutting of the Three corpses, a message that can only be carried out with a treasure sharing the same root, origin, and law.

He conveyed it to the numerous precelestial divine beings, the strongest of myriad races.

Disdain and mockery deepened threefold in Luo Hou's eyes.

Isn't this exactly what we wanted?

If he were to reveal this information, how could I make a spectacular entrance to save the beings from fire and water?

Diti smiled lightly as he responded, his voice loud enough to echo through the entire Purple Sky Palace, awakening all precelestial divine beings, the strongest of myriad races, and he loudly questioned Hongjun.

Daoist friend, I think the Quasi‑Saint Path contains a fatal flaw.

I wonder if you have noticed it?
