Chapter 55 Slaying the Good Corpse Again
Chapter 55 Slaying the Good Corpse Again
The reason Mosquito Daoist used the Primordial Purple Qi to refine weapons was that after obtaining it, he spent decades studying it along with his two severed corpses, but to no avail. Of course, his initial purpose was not to use it to comprehend the Great Dao. He knew that the Primordial Purple Qi was beyond his comprehension; otherwise, Hongjun would not have only accepted six disciples.
Furthermore, he suspected that Hongjun had tampered with this object, which made him cautious. After the other six streams of Primordial Purple Qi were absorbed by the Three Pure Ones, their primordial spirits all needed to be entrusted to the Heavenly Dao. Although this could ensure the preservation of the primordial world and the immortality of the sages, they were also subject to Hongjun's control. The reason why the primordial spirits needed to be entrusted to the Heavenly Dao was probably due to the Primordial Purple Qi.
Furthermore, Mosquito Daoist's benevolent corpse has yet to be severed, as there is no suitable spiritual treasure to entrust it with. However, he has always wanted the benevolent corpse to comprehend the four laws of wind, fire, thunder, and lightning together in the future. Now that he has this supreme treasure, he believes that the benevolent corpse will soon be able to comprehend the laws of wind and fire, which is also the reason why he has been plotting against the Primordial Purple Qi.
The 'Yin-Yang Wind and Fire Fan' is a mid-grade innate treasure. Its yang side unleashes the true fire of the sun, capable of burning the heavens and boiling the seas. Its yin side unleashes the yin winds of the nine heavens, capable of corroding all things in the primordial world. The wind and fire power it generates can also blow a person millions of miles away.
Playing with the treasure in his hand, Mosquito Daoist felt that there were probably very few people in the prehistoric world who could use a supreme innate treasure to sever a corpse.
He shook his head, ceasing his thoughts, and immediately auspicious clouds appeared above his head, with three flowers swaying. The Yin-Yang Wind and Fire Fan flew into the human flower among the three flowers. He shouted, "Slash!" As soon as he finished speaking, a person dressed in a Taoist robe flew out and stood in front of him, holding the Yin-Yang Wind and Fire Fan in his hand, bearing a seven or eight-tenths resemblance to the Mosquito Taoist.
"This humble Taoist, Feng Huo Dao Ren, greets the Venerable One." As soon as Feng Huo Dao Ren appeared, he cupped his hands and bowed to Wen Dao Ren with a faint smile on his face, looking nonchalant.
But Mosquito Taoist found something odd about it; the expression combined with the other's attire gave it a comical feel. He hadn't expected that the three corpses he had severed would each have different personalities and possess their own inherent nature—the three corpses were truly wondrous.
Of course, their cultivation levels also varied. The benevolent corpse created using a mid-grade innate supreme treasure possessed the strength of a peak quasi-saint as soon as it emerged. This also proved that his initial idea was correct. Although the final corpse possessed the cultivation of a peak quasi-saint when it was created, the strength of his true body did not increase much; only his magical power became more abundant.
The Wind and Fire Daoist appeared harmless, but he didn't say much. Knowing the other person's situation was perfect for future schemes, he said, "We are one, so there's no need for formalities in the future. Right now, you can't help me much, so go into seclusion for a while."
Upon hearing the words of the true master, Daoist Feng Huo said nothing more and went to open up his cave dwelling on his own.
Mosquito Taoist looked at the other person's figure. He had already severed all three of his corpses, but he still had no clue how to achieve the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.
Finally, he sensed the presence of the Kongtong Daoist and the Reincarnation Daoist.
Kongtong has been absorbing the endless merits from the Blood Sea, and has now reached the peak of Quasi-Saint cultivation. Previously, Mosquito Daoist also wanted to use the Heavenly Dao merits from the Styx River to help him absorb them, hoping that he could become a Saint as soon as possible. However, he did not expect that the merits obtained by others could not be absorbed.
The reason why the merits acquired by the main body are useful to the Kongtong Daoist is because the Three Corpses and the main body belong to the same entity. In the end, there was no other way but to proceed step by step. Now that Hongjun has stopped the war, it is likely that there will be no great war between the Lich King and the Demon King within ten thousand years, and the Kongtong Daoist's opportunity to become a saint is probably coming soon.
However, the Reincarnation Daoist's cultivation was still only at the late Quasi-Saint stage. He had been in seclusion comprehending the power of the laws. Unexpectedly, almost ten thousand years had passed, and he had only comprehended the fourth level of the Law of Time. At this moment, the Mosquito Daoist also felt that without some fortuitous opportunity, comprehending the power of the laws would be extremely difficult.
Considering that the primordial world has been at peace for ten thousand years, it is time for everyone to go out and gain experience. Simply working behind closed doors is useless. So he called out all five disciples.
"master."
Seeing his disciple come out to greet him, Mosquito Daoist stood there and nodded. He said:
"Since my last sermon, all of your cultivation has improved. Lu Er even severed one of his corpses and reached the early stage of Quasi-Saint. However, staying in seclusion is not the right path. I want you to go to the prehistoric world to gain experience. Firstly, it will broaden your horizons, and secondly, I have a task to assign you this time."
"Master, what kind of mission is it?" Upon hearing what Mosquito Daoist said, Lu Er was immediately eager to try. He was an active person, but in the past, there was constant killing in the prehistoric world, and he only had the cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. His master did not allow them to go out, so he had been in seclusion all this time.
Seeing the other party's expression, Mosquito Daoist didn't take it seriously and said with a smile, "This time, apart from Lu Er, the other four of you will go to the four seas to search for the traces of the 'Three Immortal Islands'. However, I already know the location of Penglai Island, so you only need to find the other two islands."
Upon hearing Mosquito Taoist say that Lu Er couldn't join them, the other four all gloated, while Lu Er immediately slumped his head, looking utterly dejected. This left Mosquito Taoist both amused and exasperated.
"Master, why not let our eldest brother join us? Among us, he's the only one who has already severed one of his corpses, and his cultivation is the highest." Chi Jue, who was closest to Lu Er and a sworn brother, asked on Lu Er's behalf after seeing his expression.
“Lu Erwu has other matters to attend to. You and the others, with Xuanling as your leader, if there are no results within ten thousand years, you may return to the Blood Sea.” After saying this, he turned to Xuanling and said, “Xuanling, you can ask your father for help in this matter, so as to avoid searching blindly.”
"Yes, master."
Xuanling nodded in agreement. Although she didn't know why her master wanted them to find the Three Immortal Islands, she wouldn't ask further. She just needed to get the job done. Besides, she hadn't seen her father for so many years, and she missed him terribly.
After that, Mosquito Daoist took out four jade talismans and distributed them to the group. "These jade talismans contain a sword aura that I sealed. Once unleashed, anyone below the peak of Quasi-Saint can be instantly killed within a hundred miles. You can keep them to save your lives."
The jade talismans that Mosquito Taoist gave to the group were certainly not ordinary items; they were made of ten-thousand-year-old Xuan Jade and engraved with spatial laws. Of course, if the other party had a powerful magic weapon protecting them, that would be a different story.
An hour later, watching the four of them leave the sea of blood together, Lu Er immediately said, "Master, what do you need me to do?"
"Lu Er, although you have now reached the Quasi-Saint level, you have only comprehended the second level of the power of the laws. During this time, stay on Xiaoyao Island and use the Yellow Plum to comprehend the laws. After you come out of seclusion, I will give you more instructions."
