Perfection: The Eastern Emperor Bell manifests, I am the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor

Chapter 62 Seven Quasi-Immortal Kings

"This method is called 'Severing the Three Corpses'."

Lu Xuan did not hide anything. Having reached his level, he was no longer afraid of others coveting his knowledge. Moreover, this method was so profound that only those with great perseverance, wisdom, and good fortune could enter it.

With a thought, the three illusory figures behind him became slightly clearer.

This allows those without end and those in the Six Realms to more truly experience the inherent principles of good and evil within them.

“The benevolent corpse governs life, teaches and protects; the malevolent corpse governs destruction, conquers and breaks through obstacles; the self-corpse transcends, defining the true self as the origin.”

Lu Xuan briefly explained the core essence.
“Severing the three corpses is not for destroying one’s nature, but for understanding one’s mind and nature, harmonizing yin and yang, and striving for the primordial unity.”

The Immortal King Wuzhong listened with a gleam in his eyes. As the one who controls time and cause and effect, he felt the deepest connection to the part of this method that involves severing cause and effect and destiny and clarifying one's true self. This was of great inspiration to him in perfecting his own "Wuzhong" path.

The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King's body trembled slightly. He controlled reincarnation and had a profound understanding of the essence of life, soul, and will.

This division of the "good and evil self" into three corpses reveals to him the ultimate blueprint of the formation of the mind of living beings under the cycle of reincarnation!
If one can comprehend this, his six realms of reincarnation may become more complete, and may even evolve into a true "spiritual reincarnation"!
"Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!"

Immortal King Wuzhong clapped his hands in praise, "Fellow Daoist's method directly points to the origin of the Great Dao, opening up a new path for us Immortal Kings!"

The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King also took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and said in a deep voice.

"This method...can it be passed on to outsiders? My Primordial Ancient Realm is willing to pay any price."

The ancient realm quasi-immortal kings behind him had even more burning eyes. They had been stuck at their bottlenecks for a long time, and when they heard that this method could enlighten their minds and increase their chances of breaking through, how could they not be tempted?
Lu Xuan looked at them and said calmly.

“The Dharma should not be lightly transmitted, nor can everyone practice it. Those whose character is insufficient should not force themselves to practice this Dharma. Their good and evil will become unbalanced, and they will be devoured by it. It is common for them to perish in both body and spirit.”

He changed the subject.

"However, the Primordial Ancient Realm and my clan, even our allies, have fought together against the darkness, and our friendship is profound. I can promise to grant the Ancient Realm three places for enlightenment. You two fellow Daoists can choose those whose temperament, foundation, and comprehension are all of superior quality to come to my Sun Ancient Cave's outer Daoist field to experience the Three Corpses Daoist Rhyme. Whether they can gain anything depends on their own destiny. As for the complete method, once I have fully perfected it, when the time is right, I may discuss and exchange ideas with you two fellow Daoists to mutually verify the Great Dao."

He demonstrated generosity, set thresholds, and maintained the initiative.

Three slots are enough to express goodwill and will not lead to the easy leakage of the Dharma.

Discussions with those at the levels of Wuzhong and the Six Realms are more valuable exchanges.

Wu Zhong and Liu Dao exchanged a glance, both seeing satisfaction in each other's eyes.

This result was better than they had expected. After all, it would be undesirable if such a heaven-defying method were easily obtained.

"In that case, thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Donghuang!"

The Immortal King Wuzhong expressed his gratitude solemnly.

"Ancient Realm, remember this sentiment."

The Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King also nodded.

A high-level meeting concerning the future格局 of the heavens concluded in a harmonious atmosphere.

The reputation of the "Severing the Three Corpses" method also faded with the departure of the Primordial Ancient Realm delegation.

It officially spread within the highest-level circles, attracting more intangible attention and undercurrents.

Everyone realized that Lu Xuan, the Eastern Emperor, was not only a giant with unparalleled combat power, but also a Dao Ancestor who could influence the history of cultivation for thousands of years!
His era is descending upon the heavens at an unprecedented speed.

The visit of the Primal Ancient Realm delegation was like a pebble thrown into a seemingly calm lake; the ripples, though not intense, spread far and wide.

The name of the "Severing the Three Corpses" method officially spread among the top powers of the heavens. The appearance of Lu Xuan, the Eastern Emperor, as the "Dao Ancestor" began to emerge, and the Golden Crow Clan's territory, where he resided, had become the center of attention for all Daoists.

Inside the Chaos Palace, Lu Xuan remained unmoved by the attention from the outside world.

He knew that the Dharma was newly established and needed to be laid a solid foundation. More importantly, he wanted the Dharma to truly take root and bear fruit within the Golden Crow Clan.

With a slight thought, the self-corpse sitting opposite him transformed into a ray of clear light, merging into his body and bringing about a more serene and clear state of deduction.

Meanwhile, the benevolent corpse continues to manifest a peaceful and serene Daoist aura, subtly enhancing the mindset and understanding of its members.

The evil corpse lies dormant within the Chaos Bell, constantly refining its offensive power to protect this pure land.

His gaze fell upon the seven most outstanding Quasi-Immortal Kings in the clan.

"Lu Huang, Lu Yan, Lu Yu, Lu Xuan... the seven of you may enter the core of the Sun Ancient Cave and, under the shroud of chaotic Daoist rhyme, comprehend the 'Three Corpses' method."

The majestic Daoist voice resonated in the hearts of the seven quasi-Immortal Kings, causing them to tremble violently and their eyes to burst forth with uncontrollable excitement and longing.

They have been waiting for this moment for far too long!

Seven dazzling golden rainbows, like seven shrunken suns, eagerly plunged into the depths of the ancient sun cave that had burned for millennia.

This place now not only possesses the purest essence of the sun, but is also permeated with the rich chaotic energy and the Daoist charm of the Three Corpses left behind by Lu Xuan, forming a unique sacred land for enlightenment.

Lu Xuan did not directly impart specific methods, but instead used his own Three Corpses Daoist Rhyme as a guide.

Like three distinct yet ultimately convergent paths reflected in the lake of seven hearts:

What Lu Huang sensed was the transcendent and domineering power of the self-corpse, which guided him to examine his own "ego" as the leader of the tribe, as well as his excessive reliance on "stability".

What ignited in Lu Yan's heart was the destructive will contained in that evil corpse—the will to burn down all heavens and shatter all laws—which aligned with his true nature.

But it also serves as a warning that he needs to control this power, rather than be consumed by it.

Lu Yu was enveloped by the compassion and protective aura of the benevolent corpse, which soothed his anxiety caused by his ambition and guided him to think about the responsibility behind his power.

Lu Xuan and the other four also sensed the Three Corpse Daoist Rhyme that best matched their own nature, some leaning towards good, some towards evil, and some facing their true selves.

Instead of immediately beginning the "severing of the corpse," they immersed themselves in the profound Taoist atmosphere.

Re-examine your inner self and sort out your own principles and thoughts.

This is a process of refining one's foundation and cleansing one's character.

Time passed swiftly inside the cave, while outside it was but a fleeting moment. Yet, they seemed to have endured countless lifetimes of trials and tribulations, their auras shifting between violent, peaceful, bewildered, and resolute.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of years have passed.

The land of the Golden Crow tribe remains shrouded in auspiciousness and unfathomable Daoist charm.

Inside the Ancient Sun Cave, the seven Golden Crow Quasi-Immortal Kings continued their seclusion, their auras sometimes erupting like a volcano and sometimes sinking like an abyss, clearly indicating that they were all at the crucial stage of severing their corpses.

Contact with the outside world was almost completely cut off.

On this day, the familiar Chaos Stone and World Tree Branch warship once again broke through the sky, and the envoy of the Primordial Ancient Realm arrived.
