Chapter 29: Hong Jun Says Evidence of the Dao

  "May I ask the founder of Taoism, how can I become a saint?"

  "Why must one become a saint?" Hong Jun thought for a moment and asked back.

  "If I don't become a saint, I'll end up as an ant, and it's hard to avoid falling in the midst of calamity. I want to protect myself, but also want to protect the Wu tribe." Emperor Jiang replied without hesitation.

  "If you want to protect yourself, you can become a saint; if you also want to protect your tribe, then you cannot become a saint."

  "Why?" Emperor Jiang asked in puzzlement. ??First release ancestor witch emperor jiang 29

  "The sage is the occupation of the heavenly way, and is the executor of the heavenly will. If you go against heaven, you may be taken back by the heavenly way at any time. You have such a question, and you must have already guessed the outcome of the witch tribe. This was arranged by the heavenly way long ago. If you want to protect the witch tribe, you must go against heaven. Do you think you can still become a saint?" Hong Jun said calmly, but he revealed many secrets that Di Jiang did not know.

  Di Jiang's face turned pale, unable to become a saint, unable to defy the heavens. Could it be that he really had to watch as the Wu tribe was destroyed? No, absolutely not! Di Jiang's heart suddenly gave rise to a stubborn determination: even if I don't become a saint, I will still defy the heavens.

  "What other way is there to achieve the Golden Immortal of the Primordial Chaos besides sanctification?" Emperor Jiang asked, not giving up.

  Hong Jun had a hesitant expression, looking at Emperor Jiang's determined face, and finally sighed before speaking out.

  "The cultivation of a master is nothing more than to attain the Tao, and this 'Tao' has heavenly Tao, earthly Tao, and human Tao. No matter which Tao one attains, one can obtain a position as a heavenly fruit, and this position will not be lost even after countless kalpas. Now that the earthly Tao and human Tao have not appeared, only the heavenly Tao can be attained, hence the saying of 'heavenly saint'.

  Hong Jun paused for a moment before continuing, "Apart from the three paths of heaven, earth, and man, there are two special paths: one is called the self-Tao. If one can attain this self-Tao, they can also become a mixed yuan great Luo golden immortal, and will not be bound by the three paths of heaven, earth, and man. They can do as they please, and their power cannot be taken away by these three paths, as long as they do not lose their original heart, they will also live for countless kalpas without dying.

  The second is called the Hun Dun great Tao. I am not clear about this path either, but it's something that cannot be told to you. All I know is that Pangu was trying to attain this path back then."

  Upon hearing this, Emperor Jiang's heart surged with infinite hope. He didn't think about the Primordial Great Dao for now, but rather his own dao that followed his heart's desires - this was the dao that Emperor Jiang wanted to attain. He hastily asked: "Please tell me, teacher, how can I attain this self-dao?"

  "No matter whether it is to prove the Tao of self, heaven, earth, or man, all methods of proving the Tao can be summarized into three. The first is to use force to prove the Tao, using brute force to break open the shackles that bind the proven Tao and obtain the fruit of the Tao. The second is to cut off the three corpses to prove the Tao, cutting off good, evil, and attachment, naturally awakening to the fruit of the Tao in one's heart. The third is to use merit and virtue to prove the Tao, when you have great merit and virtue towards a certain Tao, that Tao will naturally bestow its fruit upon you, and if you wish to obtain it, you can immediately prove the Tao. However, if you want to prove the Tao of self, the method of using merit and virtue is not applicable, as the Tao of self is empty and elusive, what merit could possibly allow you to attain it? If you want to use the method of cutting off the three corpses, you must first awaken to your original heart. If your original heart is inclined towards the Tao of self, then you can prove the Tao of self. If it is inclined towards other Taos, then when the three corpses are cut off, what is proven will also be another Tao. If you use force to prove the Tao, you don't need to consider so many factors, as long as you can forcefully break open the shackles, the Taos of heaven, earth, man, and self are all yours to choose."

  "How can one use force to prove the way?" Emperor Jiang asked again.

  "When the power of the law is gathered, when the power of the law reaches a certain level, you can naturally feel where the shackles of the Tao are, and break them open to attain the Tao. In those years, Pangu, the first of the Primordial Chaos Deities, also wanted to attain the Tao through this method, but what Pangu wanted to attain was the Great Chaos Tao. The strength of that shackle is not something we can imagine. Pangu tried to break open that shackle with a single slash, and ended up opening up the entire Heavenly Way, yet still couldn't break open the shackle of the Great Chaos Tao. In the end, he died in regret. If you want to break open the Great Chaos Tao, I would advise you to give up directly. But if you just want to attain your own Tao, then there's still a glimmer of hope."

  There is only a glimmer of hope! Emperor Jiang felt the difficulty of proving the Tao through Hong Jun's words, and then asked about other methods of proving the Tao.

  "How does one behead three corpses and prove the way?"

  "This is not urgent, I will specifically explain the method of beheading three corpses in the next lecture." Hong Jun shook his head, but he didn't plan to tell Emperor Jiang now.

  "If you want to use Zhan San Shi to prove your Dao, then make sure you are well-prepared for the final proof of other Daos."

  "Don't worry, teacher, I am eager to attain the Dao of myself, how can I attain other Daos?" Emperor Jiang said firmly.

  "Putting aside all good and evil, obsessions, do you really understand your own mind?" Hong Jun saw Emperor Jiang like this, and couldn't help but ask in return.

  Di Jiang was taken aback, ah, if he put aside his concerns for the Wu tribe and his obsession with freedom, would he really want to prove himself? Di Jiang fell into deep thought.

  "I wonder what method Master uses to prove the Tao?" Emperor Jiang woke up and couldn't help but ask Hong Jun, hoping to learn some methods from him.

  Hongyin let out a sigh, "In the past, I always wanted to use the method of beheading the three corpses to attain enlightenment, but after beheading all three corpses, I couldn't achieve the unity of the three corpses and gain insight into my original heart. At the time of Luo Hui's death, the Heavenly Dao sensed my merits and bestowed upon me the Fruit of the Heavenly Dao, but I didn't accept it, still wanting to use the method of beheading the three corpses to attain enlightenment. Unfortunately, after researching for tens of thousands of years, I was unable to unite the three corpses, and only reluctantly accepted the Fruit of the Heavenly Dao in the end, ultimately taking the path of merit-based enlightenment."

  I didn't expect Hong Jun to take the path of merit and virtue in the end! It seems that beheading the three corpses is also extremely difficult. ?? First published by Zu Wu Emperor Jiang 29

  "The masters were unable to successfully behead the three corpses and prove their way, so it's even harder for us to succeed. Isn't taking the path of proving one's way through force even more difficult?" Emperor Jiang couldn't help but sigh, wondering if there was more to what Daozu had said.

  "I failed to achieve the Three Corpses' verification of the Dao using the method of beheading, which must have been due to my incomplete understanding and entering a certain misunderstanding. As for the difficult-to-ascend method of verifying the Dao with force that you mentioned, I know someone who has succeeded."

  Hearing Hong Jun finish speaking, Emperor Jiang's face was full of surprise, never expecting that another person had become a saint, yet he himself didn't know at all.

  "Who is the person the teacher is talking about?"

  "He's called Yang Mei, you must have seen him before. Back then, when Luo Ye Bu was trapped in the Xian Jian sword array, it was still him who broke through."

  It was him, no wonder. Emperor Jiang thought to himself, I said that year Luo Hua's Trap Immortal Sword was snatched away by Yang Mei in one move, it turned out that he had already become a Mixed Yuan Da Luojin Immortal at that time. A quasi-saint being bullied by a Mixed Yuan Da Luojin Immortal, Emperor Jiang couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Luo Hua.

  "What doctrine did he finally attain?"

  "He proved to be the self-way, and the 'power' he used to prove the way is the power of spatial laws." Hong Jun said, looking at Emperor Jiang with a profound meaning.

  "The power of spatial laws!" Emperor Jiang exclaimed, and with his own understanding of the law, he wondered if he could also use the power of spatial laws to break through the shackles of the Tao and obtain the fruit of the Tao. For a moment, Emperor Jiang was filled with confidence in proving the Tao.

  "Alright, I've told you enough for today. Isn't it time for you to leave Penglai Island?" Hong Jun pointed to the Eastern King, whose six senses were sealed by him, and said to Emperor Jiang.

  "Thank you, teacher, for clearing up my doubts. However, he has already promised to give me this Penglai Island, what do you think..."

  Hong Jun burst out laughing and scolded, "You've obtained the blessing of Qinglian, what's the point of having Penglai Island? If we're talking about the density of spiritual energy, wouldn't your Pangu Hall be inferior to this place?"

  "I'd like to hear the teacher's teachings, Emperor Jiang will leave now." Peng Lai Island Emperor Jiang originally had some more desires, but seeing Dao Zu not willing, he gave up and bowed to Hong Jun, then flew towards "Emperor Jiang Tribe". Today's harvest was huge, besides obtaining treasures and money, and creating Qinglian, he also clarified his future cultivation goal, proving himself the way. As for what method to use, it depends on whether his physical body or spiritual power is stronger in the future.
