Honghuang Xuanyang Dao

Chapter 66: Quasi-Saint in the Flesh (Subscription Request)
Li Xuanyang seemed to be unaware of the changes in Sanqing and others. He immersed his entire mind into the chaotic and indestructible body within his body, and a mysterious aura faintly emerged.

Like the beginning of chaos, all things in the universe emerged, a kind of enlightenment arose from the heart, and the body and the soul each underwent a slight change.

This change is hard to explain, yet it is mysterious.

As Li Xuanyang melted more and more golden lotuses, the various innate laws in his body gradually merged together, as if turning into a ball of chaos. Sometimes laws emerged, and sometimes it was chaos.

At this time, chaotic energy was rolling above Li Xuanyang's body, and the innate laws such as the innate yin and yang, the two poles, and the five elements were evolving. The circulation of the meridians was like a small world, with all the yin and yang and the five elements, and the laws of heaven and earth were all present.

The next moment, the Chaos Immortal Body in Li Xuanyang's body was running to the extreme. A flash of axe light flashed through his mind. With a loud "boom...", a brand new world appeared in his body.

Wisps of breath emerged from it, some light, some thick and heavy, like clear and turbid air, slowly merging with the body.

After a while, Li Xuanyang gradually regained consciousness. He didn't care about disturbing Hongjun Daozu's sermon, and suddenly stood up, growling, "Chaos Immortal Body!"

Before the voice fell, an unknown pressure suddenly overflowed from Li Xuanyang's body, and a gray light enveloped his surroundings, as if strands of laws were generated with every move he made.

These laws are not the Yin and Yang, the Two Principles and the Five Elements, nor are they the laws of the great Dao such as Chaos and Space. Instead, they encompass all things in the universe. However, they are not all things in the universe. Rather, they are a kind of change that represents the physical body reaching its ultimate state.

Seeing this, the Three Pure Ones sitting in front of Li Xuanyang could not help but turn around and bow to Li Xuanyang, saying with a smile: "Congratulations, fellow Daoist, you have achieved another step forward in proving the Dao with your strength, and have now transcended the Daluo realm!"

Seeing Sanqing's happy expression and his aura as ethereal as smoke, Li Xuanyang's heart moved, and he suddenly realized that Sanqing had beheaded one of the three corpses and had already stepped into the realm of quasi-saints. He just didn't know whether the corpse Sanqing beheaded was a good corpse or an evil corpse!
However, the Three Pure Ones are the incarnations of the great god Pangu's spirit, and are born with the merit of creating the world. I think most of them are good corpses.

Li Xuanyang bowed slightly in return and said enviously, "I have only made some progress in my Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body. I am no match for the three Daoists who have killed one of the Three Corpses. The Great Dao is yet to come."

"I wonder what kind of innate spiritual treasure the three Taoist friends used to entrust the three corpses!"

"It's a magical tool for achieving enlightenment!" The Shangqing Taoist looked at Li Xuanyang strangely and said jokingly, "The three of us can't compare to your wealth."

Li Xuanyang and the other three chatted with each other for a while, then sat down again and listened quietly to Hongjun Daozu's preaching.

Nuwa, who was sitting in front of Li Xuanyang, couldn't help but show a strange look on her face. She and the others had all killed one of the three corpses before their cultivation had made great progress.

But Li Xuanyang did not chop off the corpse. He only made some progress in his Chaos Indestructible Body, and he committed suicide with such divine power. It was obvious that he had already surpassed Daluo.

Nuwa suddenly remembered what Hongjun Daozu had said just now, that one can enter the quasi-saint realm even without innate spiritual treasures. Could it be that he was talking about Li Xuanyang's method of proving the Dao through force and forming the Chaos Indestructible Body?

The next moment, she thought of the true body of the ancestor of the witch clan. He was also on the path of the physical body. Without cultivating the three flowers of the soul, could he also step into the realm of quasi-saint!
For a moment, Nuwa showed a hint of worry.

Three thousand years passed unknowingly. When everyone in Zixiao Palace was hearing the excitement, Daozu Hongjun suddenly fell silent.

Everyone woke up one after another, feeling as if they were suspended in mid-air, unable to go up or down, with an indescribable awkwardness all over their body, as if they had no strength to use.

Daozu Hongjun didn't care how uncomfortable everyone was. He sat upright on the cloud bed and said expressionlessly, "This lecture ends here. I will notify you all to come when I start the next one!"

Li Xuanyang and the others stood up and saluted respectfully towards Daozu Hongjun on the cloud bed, "Farewell, Teacher!"

During this sermon, Li Xuanyang not only made great progress in his Chaos Immortal Body, but his physical body had already transcended Daluo and reached the realm of Quasi-Sage.

He also knew the method of beheading the corpse. He just needed to choose a suitable innate spiritual treasure as a support, and then he could behead the good corpse.

Don't underestimate this point. If it weren't for the second preaching by Taoist Master Hongjun, even with Li Xuanyang's ability, it is unknown when he would be able to comprehend the method of beheading corpses.

"Fellow Daoist, you have many innate spiritual treasures, and there are even two innate spiritual roots in Xuanyang Mountain. I wonder which innate thing you plan to use to entrust the three corpses in the future!" Taoist Shangqing remembered that Li Xuanyang had asked him what kind of innate spiritual treasure the three of them used to kill the corpses, and he couldn't help but ask back.

Even though the three monks, apart from the instruments for enlightenment, had each picked up a banana leaf and an innate spiritual gourd, they did not have to worry about the innate spiritual treasures.

But compared to Li Xuanyang, he is inferior.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't tease me." Li Xuanyang looked strange. He didn't want to ask Shangqing something he had just asked, but Shangqing asked him back. He could only say angrily, "Of course it's a magical instrument for achieving enlightenment."

Taoist Yuqing chuckled and said, "Daoyou's Liangyi Lantern is also an excellent innate spiritual treasure. Using it as a place to enshrine one of the Three Corpses is not necessarily inferior to a magical instrument for achieving enlightenment."

Unlike innate spiritual treasures, Dao-enlightening instruments can enhance their mysterious power as the cultivator's spiritual power improves. Therefore, the Three Pure Ones chose to use Dao-enlightening instruments to behead corpses. In comparison, the innate spiritual treasure, the Liang Yi Lantern, was far inferior in terms of potential.

At this time, the Zixiao Palace became noisy again. Groups of monks talked to each other, some talking about innate spiritual treasures, some talking about the method of beheading corpses, and even talking about Li Xuanyang, Sanqing, Nuwa, Jie Yin and others, as well as the gloomy-faced Zhunti Taoist.

Unexpectedly, Daozu Hongjun, who had already left, suddenly reappeared and sat on the cloud bed. He looked at the noisy crowd below with an expressionless face and said, "You are making endless noise and violating the principles of yin and yang. We need a male immortal leader and a female immortal leader to restrain you Qigong cultivators."

This attracted everyone's attention and they all looked towards Taoist Hongjun. Li Xuanyang was shocked and his gaze fell on Taoist Chunyang and Queen Mother of the West with a complicated expression.

Being in charge of restraining the ancient Qigong cultivators is a great thing, as it allows one to occupy a portion of the future fortune of the Xuanmen sect and avoid disasters and catastrophes.

However, at this time, Xuanmen had not yet flourished, and the ones who truly controlled the prehistoric world were the two tribes of witches and liches, not Xuanmen.

After hearing what Daozu Hongjun said, Dijun and Taiyi's expressions suddenly changed. Without even considering the fact that the Three Pure Ones had reached the Quasi-Saint realm, or that they had used the River Chart and Luoshu and the Primal Chaos Bell to behead the corpse, they quickly saluted Daozu Hongjun and said, "Teacher, my demon race occupies the land of the Heavenly Court and controls the operation of the prehistoric world. We can help you control the cultivators of the Qigong lineage."

"My brother Di Jun is the incarnation of the true spirit of the sun star, and the Queen of Heaven Xihe is the incarnation of the true spirit of the moon star. It is exactly what the teacher said about one yin and one yang, and they can control the male and female immortals in the ancient times." Taiyi immediately thought of the background of Di Jun and Xihe, which is exactly one yin and one yang.

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of everyone in Zixiao Palace changed. If Di Jun and Xihe were really allowed to take charge of the two immortals, male and female, in the ancient world, the Wu clan would certainly not agree. Then there would probably be another catastrophe, and everyone would be involved.

Daoist Ancestor Hongjun looked at Emperor Jun and Xihe, then set his sights on Taoist Chunyang and Queen Mother of the West, saying, "You two are the product of the innate pure yang energy and the innate pure yin energy, forming a perfect union of yin and yang. You can be the leaders of the male and female immortals."

Li Xuanyang sighed lightly, it was indeed so.

Although this matter was said by Hongjun Daozu himself, and Chunyang Daoist and Queen Mother of the West also had extraordinary Taoist skills and supernatural powers, there were many people in Zixiao Palace who had Taoist skills and supernatural powers comparable to them, and several of the Three Pure Ones had already broken through to the realm of quasi-saints. How could they be restrained?

Among the few people, Taoist Taiqing, Nuwa, and Jie Yin all had calm expressions. Only Taoist Yuqing frowned slightly, but thinking of his friendship with Taoist Chunyang, he didn't say much.

Taoist Shangqing's face was filled with joy. He and Taoist Chunyang were close friends, and the Queen Mother of the West lived next door to them, so he was naturally happy for both of them.

Di Jun, Xihe and Taiyi's expressions changed drastically. They looked at Taoist Chunyang and Queen Mother of the West with gloomy eyes, and a hint of murderous intent emerged in their eyes.

"Disciple will follow the master's orders!" Taoist Chunyang saluted Taoist Hongjun with a happy face.

"Disciple will follow the teacher's instructions!" In contrast, the Queen Mother of the West looked indifferent. Not only did she not show any joy, but she spoke nonchalantly, as if it had nothing to do with her.

Daozu Hongjun nodded and said, "You all should get up."

After he finished speaking, before anyone could react, Daozu Hongjun had disappeared, as if he had never appeared.

Seeing Daozu Hongjun leave, Li Xuanyang stepped forward to congratulate Daoist Chunyang and Queen Mother of the West and said with a smile, "Congratulations to you two Daoists for becoming the first male and female immortals in the prehistoric world."

"Fellow Daoist, please stop joking." Taoist Chunyang glared at Li Xuanyang unhappily and said, "Although I consider myself to have some magical powers, I would never dare to talk about being the leader of male immortals."

"It's best if you think this way, fellow Daoist." Li Xuanyang suddenly said with a hint of meaning, "Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll be embroiled in the karmic disputes of right and wrong."

"Fellow Daoist, you are talking about the two races of witches and liches!" Queen Mother of the West asked softly.

"The Wu Clan doesn't cultivate the Yuan Shen, and has nothing to do with the Qigong lineage. I think they won't care about this matter. However, Di Jun and Xi He are the Emperor and Empress of the Demon Clan, and they are also the Sun and the Moon, which is similar to the background of the two Taoist friends."

"Fellow Daoist Xuanyang is worrying too much. You two Daoists are the leaders of the male and female immortals who were personally appointed by Master Hongjun. Even the great saints of the demon clan such as Dijun would not dare to go against the master's order. What's more, we made a covenant together that day, so there is no need to worry." Hongyun also came over and congratulated Taoist Chunyang and Queen Mother of the West.

Li Xuanyang shook his head helplessly, but didn't know what to say.

After all, this matter was conferred by Hongjun Daozu himself, and the two of them could not refuse.

But even with the canonization by Hongjun Daozu, it does not mean that everything is fine.

The most crucial thing is that Daozu Hongjun did not accept the two of them as his disciples, and they did not even have the status of registered disciples.

Even Haotian and Yaochi, the personal disciples of Hongjun Daozu, had encountered Xingtian dancing with Ganqi in later generations.
