Chapter 33, Lecture 2 concludes
Without much interaction, Hongjun's second sermon soon began.
The powerful figures took their seats, preparing to comprehend the Great Dao.
"This sermon will still be held over a period of three thousand years, and will expound on the Path of Quasi-Saints." Hongjun looked at the three thousand guests of Zixiao before him, his voice like thunder, with immortal sounds and Daoist rhymes lingering around him.
Upon hearing this, all three thousand guests of Zixiao listened attentively.
Immediately, Hongjun began to preach, and familiar phenomena appeared in Zixiao Palace, greatly benefiting all the powerful beings present.
Meanwhile, Styx was listening to Hongjun's sermon while analyzing the so-called method of slaying three households.
Although he was already a Hunyuan Golden Immortal, Styx did not think that he could completely disregard the Three Corpses Severing Method passed down by Hongjun. The Three Corpses Severing Method was first revealed by Hongjun during the last Great Tribulation Dao-Demon War when Hongjun entered the Immortal Slaughtering Formation. Although Styx had not witnessed the power of the Immortal Slaughtering Formation firsthand, seeing how the West was being persecuted today, he probably understood how terrifying that killing formation was.
There are two things that Styx can be certain of now: First, although Hongjun passed on the method of severing the three corpses to the three thousand guests of Zixiao, so that the great powers could break through to the next realm, he himself did not rely on severing the three corpses to enter the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.
Second, becoming a Primordial Golden Immortal does not conflict with cultivating the Three Corpses Severing Technique. For a Primordial Golden Immortal, the Three Corpses Severing Technique is also a divine power that can greatly enhance combat power and cultivation. As for methods that can improve oneself, Styx does not reject them at all and wishes for as many as possible.
After all, this is most likely how Hongjun himself left.
You can question Hongjun's motives for passing down the method of severing the three corpses, and explain everything he does with conspiracy theories, since these things are all planned behind the scenes. But so far, Styx has never heard anyone question Hongjun's strength.
This is the strength to defeat Law!
Immediately afterward, over the course of three thousand years, Hongjun imparted the method of severing the three corpses to all the powerful beings in Zixiao Palace.
This has also given many great minds some insights.
Soon after, as Hongjun continued to explain, the three thousand guests of Zixiao gained some understanding of the method of severing the three corpses. At the same time, some were happy while others were sad.
Those who are delighted, such as the Three Pure Ones, Emperor Jun, and Taiyi, are not lacking in spiritual treasures. In fact, they already possess spiritual treasures that serve as their means of attaining enlightenment. They can fully utilize these innate spiritual treasures to sever the Three Corpses.
For example, Laozi was the first among the three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace to sever his three corpses and become a quasi-saint with one corpse. Although his terrifying aura did not affect anyone under Hongjun's control, all the powerful beings in Zixiao Palace could feel it.
This further intensified everyone's desire to kill the three households.
And the concerns of many people.
For example, Kunpeng.
The reason is simple: Zhanhu needs a spiritual treasure, and not just any spiritual treasure, but a primordial spiritual treasure related to the Dao he cultivates. However, Kunpeng does not have a single primordial spiritual treasure.
Thinking of this, Kunpeng hated the Styx even more. If the Styx hadn't taken away his merit in creating characters, then perhaps the spiritual treasure rewarded by the Dao Ancestor would have been his.
Those magical treasures were all suitable for Kunpeng to use to slay the householder.
Except for the River Styx.
As a Primordial Golden Immortal, even if he had just broken through to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, it would be easy for Styx to sever his three corpses. It would be much easier for him than for Laozi, who was only at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
The reason for not executing them is that it is not the right time yet.
Quasi-Saints and Primordial Golden Immortals are beings whose application of the power of the Great Dao and the Laws far surpasses that of Daluo Golden Immortals. The difference is that the Primordial Golden Immortal's power of the Laws comes from their own cultivation, while the Quasi-Saint's power of the Laws comes from the innate spiritual treasures entrusted to the Three Corpses at the time of their demise.
Styx planned to first reach the pinnacle of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm on his own, and then use the Three Corpses Severing technique to fill in any gaps and make up for any deficiencies. If possible, he would then prepare for the next stage of opening the heavens within the Chaos Pearl.
Just as Styx was pondering his future path, Hongjun spoke again amidst the gazes of all the powerful beings present.
"This sermon is now complete. Do any of you have any questions?" Hongjun asked the three thousand guests of Zixiao before him. After answering the questions of many powerful figures, he began his next action.
"The next sermon will be after the Ten Yuan Assembly, on the Way of the Sage. But before that, I will accept disciples and pass on the secrets to becoming a sage," Hongjun said, looking at the three thousand guests of Zixiao before him.
"The opportunity to become a saint?"
The powerful figures were all shocked.
"Yes, I will establish the Xuanmen, and under my Xuanmen, there will be several disciples to lead my lineage," Hongjun continued.
"So he's already accepting disciples?" Styx frowned. Shouldn't it be during the Three Lectures that disciples are accepted and treasures are distributed? He remembered that during the Three Lectures, Hongjun had dug a small pit regarding the distribution of treasures and the acceptance of disciples.
To be honest, Styx isn't really sure about the specifics, since there are quite a few versions of various prehistoric novels.
"May I ask, Sage, what is the key to becoming a sage?" Yuanshi hurriedly stood up, looked at Hongjun, and asked.
Is he a sage or not the ancestor of Taoism?
If it weren't for the merit of creating the world, he really wouldn't want to take Yuanshi as a disciple.
"Above the Primordial Golden Immortal is the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal. Now that the Great Dao has retreated, this path is difficult. Therefore, in the primordial world, one can attain the position of a sage."
"To attain the position of a sage, one must possess the Primordial Purple Qi. With the Primordial Purple Qi as one's foundation, one must entrust one's primordial spirit to the Heavenly Dao, thereby becoming indestructible through countless eons, living as long as the heavens, and enjoying immeasurable Dao fruits." Hongjun looked at Yuanshi and patiently answered.
"Then may I ask, Sage, what is the difference between a Sage and a Primordial Golden Immortal?" Yuanshi looked at Hongjun before him with eager eyes. Faced with the opportunity to prove one's Dao, who could give it up?
Yuanshi asked two questions in a row, but since these were questions that everyone was thinking about, Hongjun simply answered them all at once.
"A sage is a Primordial Golden Immortal, but a Primordial Golden Immortal is not a sage."
"The sages are immortal and indestructible, supreme and noble in the primordial world, enforcing the laws on behalf of Heaven—" Hongjun spoke, recounting the various mysteries and nobility of the sages.
This only fueled the enthusiasm of the three thousand guests from the Purple Cloud Pavilion, who cried out, "Sage! Sage!"
Hongjun's nobility and power have been deeply imprinted in their hearts. Looking at Hongjun at this moment, who dares to say that they do not want to become saints?
As Styx had predicted, Hongjun immediately accepted the Three Pure Ones as his first disciple, Nuwa as his last disciple, and Zhunti and Jieyin as his nominal disciples, and bestowed upon them spiritual treasures.
Among them, the spiritual treasures bestowed upon the Three Pure Ones are the best, including two innate supreme treasures and one incredibly powerful Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. The treasures that Nuwa received were somewhat inferior, but they still included top-quality innate spiritual treasures such as the Mountain and River Map and the Red Embroidered Ball. As in the original story, Zhunti and Jieyin received the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit, which blessed their deities.
At the same time, Hongjun distributed the six streams of Primordial Purple Qi to the six people.
