Chapter 23: Hongjun's Attention, Comprehending the Law of the Three‑Body Buddha!

Not bad!

At this moment, Jieyin and Zhunti couldn't help but feel somewhat moved.

The two originally thought Chen Ku, being young and hot‑headed, would inevitably get into an argument when facing the ridicule of the many great beings.

But they never expected Chen Ku to be so calm, directly ignoring the words of the other great beings.

Moreover, when taking on disciples before, Jieyin also relied on his quasi‑sage authority, somewhat intending to forcefully accept disciples.

Even if Chen Ku truly defected to another's sect today, Jieyin and Zhunti would not consider it surprising.

But regarding this, Chen Ku had not the slightest hesitation, completely ignoring it.

From this it can be seen that Chen Ku had no reluctance whatsoever about becoming Jieyin's disciple.

How could Jieyin and Zhunti not be moved in their hearts?!

The two came up beside Chen Ku, and Jieyin spoke softly:

"Hehe, you brat......"

His words were not finished, but anyone could see the relieved look on his face.

Hearing this, Chen Ku remained calm, merely chuckled lightly and replied:

"Hehe, they are just petty clowns!"

"Master, Uncle‑master, why bother caring about them?!"

Unexpectedly, Chen Ku instead advised Jieyin and Zhunti.

This made Jieyin and Zhunti's expressions even gentler.

These words also made the two laugh loudly.

"Haha, not bad!"

"Petty clowns who seek fame by stirring up the crowd indeed need not be heeded."

Speaking, the two also went past the many great beings and sat upon the two dao‑contemplation mats belonging to them.

Seeing the three's reaction, the many great beings who had repeatedly mocked them before now had faces that turned somewhat unsightly.

Jieyin, Zhunti, and Chen Ku could not break through their defenses at all, making everyone feel as if they were punching cotton.

However, this time, before the many great beings could say anything more,

Suddenly, a vast and unparalleled pressure, impossible to describe, swept forth.

Immediately, everyone's pupils contracted; the way of the sword, an ancient and simple figure, appeared soundlessly before everyone, sitting cross‑legged.

For a moment, the vast Purple Azure Palace fell silent, so quiet that a falling pin could be heard.

The breaths of the three thousand great beings all seemed to pause for an instant.

Without a doubt, this figure was none other than the manifestation of Hongjun the Dao Ancestor!

He sat silently before everyone, yet exuded an immense, indescribable pressure.

In an instant, the three thousand great beings fell silent, the place utterly still!

Even Eastern King Duke hastily straightened his countenance, daring not to show the slightest oddity.

Under the fervent gaze of everyone, Hongjun glanced around slightly.

In the instant he saw Chen Ku, his gaze lingered slightly and his brows furrowed a little.

One more?!

Given Hongjun's omniscient and omnipotent power, he instantly realized that Chen Ku ought not to be present here.

In other words, this was an unforeseen variable for him.

However, Hongjun merely paused slightly and did not take it to heart.

A mere Great Luo Golden Immortal is not worth letting Hongjun pay extra attention.

Little did they know, Chen Ku's heart was already greatly shaken, his whole body's hairs standing on end.

What situation?!

Could it be that the Dao Ancestor Hongjun has discovered something?!

Chen Ku thought to himself.

Hongjun's gaze seemed to instantly perceive everything about him, causing Chen Ku's heart to tremble incessantly.

The might of a sage is simply beyond words.

This made Chen Ku wonder whether, coming to the Purple Azure Palace with his Master, he had been too rash and impulsive.

Fortunately, before Chen Ku could think much more, Hongjun's gaze withdrew, no longer paying attention to him.

In an instant, Chen Ku felt the overwhelming pressure dissipate, he exhaled deeply, and his heart settled.

Afterward, Hongjun spoke in a deep voice:

This is this seat's final lecture on the Dao.

After the lecture concludes, I shall merge my body with the Dao and no longer manifest in the world.

You all, please listen attentively......

These words caused the three thousand great beings to look at one another.

At present, they still do not quite understand what the phrase 'merging body with the Dao' means.

But Hongjun paid no heed to the crowd full of doubt.

As his words fell, he began to lecture on the Dao by himself.

This time, this seat will expound upon the various methods of proving the Dao.

Such as severing the three corpses to prove the Dao, qi‑luck proving the Dao, merit proving the Dao, and so on......

As Hongjun began to lecture, the vast Purple Azure Palace instantly filled with distant fairy music, and myriad golden lotuses of the Great Dao blossomed forth, profound and ever more profound.

The three thousand great beings were utterly silent, completely immersed in listening to the Dao, not daring to let their minds wander the slightest.

In a moment, the vast Dao resonance permeated, the law and order was vast and mighty, hung high above everyone's heads.

Each great one, their Dao heart shone, the power of divine sense swept across, obviously their comprehension was quite profound.

But everyone didn't realize that, at this moment, Chen Ku had fallen into frenzied comprehension, surpassing the many great ones present.

Not to mention under Hongjun's lecture on the Dao, Chen Ku's Primordial True Classic rose step by step, which can be said to be rapid progress.

At the same time, the heaven-defying comprehension had long been constantly operating.

The Dao spoken by Hongjun was inherently extremely obscure and profound, mysterious and even more mysterious.

But in Chen Ku's sea of consciousness, it underwent another transformation and sublimation, becoming even more unfathomable.

At one moment, the heaven-defying comprehension displayed its might again!

【You listen to the sage's lecture on the Dao, comprehend the Slay Three Corpses Method, combine it with yourself, and realize the Three Bodies Buddha Method!】

Sensing this prompt, Chen Ku was stunned!

Three Bodies Buddha?!

What kind of method is this?!

He immediately sank his divine sense inward, beginning to carefully sense it.

After a moment, Chen Ku's expression changed greatly, filled with surprise and joy.

This Three Bodies Buddha Method is based on the Slay Three Corpses, evolved into a completely new method.

Practicing this method, one can refine the Three Bodies Buddha!

They are respectively the Dharma Body, the Retribution Body, and the Response Body, corresponding to the Three Corpses.

But this method differs greatly from the Slay Three Corpses.

The Slay Three Corpses Method, the higher the grade of the spiritual treasure it relies on, the higher its limit, yet it cannot be broken.

Moreover, once the Three Corpses are severed, they have no further relation to oneself, unless the Three Corpses unite, allowing further advancement.

As for the Three Bodies Buddha, it itself can also be cultivated, increasing one's cultivation, then returning to simplicity and truth, merging into one, thus allowing ultimate sublimation and astonishing improvement.

"Haha, good, great!"

"This Three Bodies Buddha Method is not only a variant of the Slay Three Corpses Method, but also makes up for its shortcomings."

"Practicing this method, my future potential and limit will be countless times higher than that of the Slay Three Corpses."

Chen Ku felt great joy, thinking thus.

This time listening to the Dao was indeed the right choice.

Moreover, suppressing the joy of comprehending the Three Bodies Buddha, Chen Ku's heart was greatly moved.

The sage's lecture on the Dao, such an excellent opportunity, how could it lack the support of One Dream Ten Thousand Years?!

Chen Ku immediately activated the One Dream Ten Thousand Years divine ability.

The other great ones closed their eyes slightly, calmed their minds and focused their spirits, for they were carefully listening to the lecture, daring not to wander even a bit.

But Chen Ku had already fallen into a dreamlike mysterious state.

This move is like turning on a cheat!

Hongjun lectured on the Dao, celestial sounds rang out, each sentence like the true words of the Great Dao, containing profound and unfathomable mysteries, the ineffable Dao resonance.

But in Chen Ku's heart, he could gradually comprehend, until fully comprehended.

Although the lecture lasted only a few hundred years, Chen Ku had already increased his cultivation and Dao practice by a full ten thousand years.

Moreover, with the increase in cultivation, the Three Bodies Buddha Method in the sea of consciousness became even more radiantly brilliant and supremely mysterious.

With just a thought, the Three Bodies Buddha can be cultivated!

But Chen Ku suppressed such a thought and did not rush to break through.

And amidst such frenzied comprehension, the years passed leisurely.

Unbeknownst, three thousand years had already passed.

This lecture at the Purple Azure Palace also gradually drew to a close!
