Chapter 984 - 482: Taishan Sacrifice, Green Emperor Taihao
The Taiyi Dao Fruit can be deeply cultivated in a single path, ultimately achieving enlightenment and understanding countless paths to transcend.
The Primordial Dao Fruit, on the other hand, benefits from Hong Jun's scheming, making it a powerful tool with strong compatibility features.
Back then, in the Purple Cloud Palace, when Xuanqing first explained his creation of the "Five Greats Dao Method" to the Primordial Gods.
He openly encouraged all holy beings, suggesting that it would be best to practice both the "Five Greats Dao Method" and the "Primordial Dao Method" during cultivation.
After all, if one only practices the Primordial Method, they would be at a significant disadvantage in this era.
Because cultivators who solely practice the Primordial Method, during the four cultivation stages from Taiji Da Luo to Taichu Da Luo, will be severely restrained by those who only practice the "Five Greats Dao Method" at the same level.
Xuanqing once dealt with Hong Jun this way.
Thus, cultivators of the Five Great Method can use the same strategy against those who solely practice the Primordial Method.
Based on this consideration, any holy beings with foresight would choose to practice both methods.
They wouldn't allow themselves to be in such a vulnerable position in future Dao battles.
Moreover, these two major Daoist methods do not conflict in core ideas.
Practicing both not only avoids confusion in Dao Fruits but allows mutual verification and promotion, greatly enhancing one's combat power and foundation.
Isn't this a joyfully beneficial approach?
At the time, everyone only anticipated practicing both methods during the four stages from Taiji Da Luo to Taichu Da Luo.
They hadn't expected that after successfully reaching the Realm of Taiyi, these two major Daoist methods could complement each other so perfectly.
After listening to Xuanqing's explanation, Ming River's thoughts became active.
Countless inspirations collided and sparked like lightning in his mind.
He had a sudden bold idea and asked Xuanqing a daring question:
"Daoist Xuanqing, since 'Reverse Three Corpses' can be a method to certify the Dao."
"Then, is it possible for me, before achieving the Primordial Dao Fruit, to not perform the final step of 'Three Corpses Unification'?"
"Instead, directly let the severed Three Corpses of good, evil, and self, practice the 'Five Greats Method' separately, continuing to deepen their cultivation on their respective singular Dao?"
His eyes gleamed with excitement.
"If this could truly be done, is there a possibility for these three avatars and my true self to ultimately ascend to the Da Luo Fifth Realm together?"
Upon hearing this, Xuanqing looked at Ming River's expectant and ambitious eyes, and couldn't help but smile and nod.
"In theory, it's naturally possible."
"However, there is a critical prerequisite."
His tone grew solemn.
"That is, your true self must first navigate the Path of Taiyi."
"Otherwise, the grand ambition of achieving 'Dao Certification for both the true self and the Three Corpses together' will become exceedingly difficult."
"I can definitively tell you that the path you've imagined won't be easier than the method of 'certifying the Primordial first, then reversing the Three Corpses'."
"I see."
Ming River immediately grasped the key point.
He instantly understood the crux of the matter.
These two methods, though different, ultimately lead to the same destination.
Choosing to "certify the Primordial first, then reverse the Three Corpses."
The advantage lies in establishing a high vantage point, first allowing your true self to have supreme cultivation and vision of the Da Luo Fifth Realm.
Then, using this as a foundation to reshape the three Dao Fruits in reverse is naturally efficient and effortless.
Whereas choosing "Three Corpses do not unite, and each entrusts one Dao for independent cultivation."
This is akin to, before impacting the Realm of Taiyi, preparing yourself with three powerful Dao Bodies wielding peak cultivation of the Da Luo Fourth Realm.
When the true self begins attempting to impact the ultimate 'Taiwu' realm.
These three powerful incarnations can serve as the most stable Dao markers in the reality of the Universe, ensuring it doesn't get completely lost in the void.
Once the true self has truly achieved Dao certification, it can turn back, arranging these three incarnations in succession to experience the most thorough 'Transforming Dao', to perfect their respective Dao Fruits.
The greatest benefit of this approach is its high fault tolerance.
Even if the impact fails midway, it's no matter.
The Three Corpses might be lost, but as long as the true self remains, it can cultivate anew.
"So this means our path now has a new direction!"
Meng Wuyou was eager to try.
Now with a new progression path, Wuyou couldn't wait to see the scenery after certifying the Dao.
"Then, take your time exploring."
"I'm going into seclusion!"
Meng Wuyou greeted Xuanqing and Ming River, then gracefully departed like an elegant butterfly.
"No, I need to go into seclusion too!"
Ming River, spurred by competitiveness, drew the Yuan Tu Sword from his waist, dramatically "dying" in front of Xuanqing.
Xuanqing was accustomed to this.
He compiled this insight and the Dao certification secrets from the Heavenly Dao Essence into a scripture.
Then synchronized it with Taishang, Yu Chen, and the Taiwei Gods.

Eight Sceneries Palace.
Taishang received Xuanqing's scripture, slapped his thigh in surprise and said:
"This seems to have the same underlying principle as my 'One Qi Transformed into Three Pure Ones' Divine Skill!"
"I can't believe I didn't realize this."
Taishang had to admit, though Hong Jun did many misdeeds, he was indeed extraordinarily talented!
He now strongly suspected that this hidden skill of Hong Jun's might have referenced the Three Pure Ones Transformed into Pangu, and Pangu Transformed into Three Pure Ones.
Had the Taiwei Gods not joined forces to suppress Hong Jun in advance, who knows what havoc he might have caused!
"But now!"
Taishang looked up at the sky, a sneer forming at the corner of his mouth: "What's yours is ours, and what's ours remains ours!"
"The Mystic Sect is in our hands,"

The Human Dao Great Era, spearheaded by Fu Xi, embarked on its first glorious era.
During this era, the Human Race and Ten Thousand Races reached preliminary cooperation, jointly respecting Fu Xi as the Common Lord of the Mortal World.
The Primordial was almost entirely without conflict, peaceful and serene.
Countless great Daos experienced vigorous development.
Thus, after Fu Xi ruled the Mortal World for a hundred thousand years, he decided to proceed to Taishan for sacrifice!
On this day, above the Nine Heavens, Immortal Gods stood side by side.
The Void of the Eight Extremes gathered great powers.
The purple aura of the East was vast.
The Sect Hierarch of the Human Sect, Daode Tianzun, descended.
Holding the Supreme Treasure of the Human Dao, the Kongtong Seal, he passed it to his disciple Xuandu.
Xuandu stood atop the high platform, one hand holding the Tai Chi Diagram and the other holding the Kongtong Seal, serving as the ritual officer for this sacrifice.
He stepped forward, bowing to the heavens and the earth: "In the beginning, there was Taiji, with the Dao established in One. Separation of heaven and earth, differentiation of Yin and Yang, transformation into all things..."
"Now the Human Race is unified, Qi Fortune flourishing, with the Holy Emperor Fu Xi of the Fu Xi Clan painting the Eight Diagrams, illuminating the Great Dao, and achieving Holy Virtue, thus embarking on an eastward journey to Taishan, piling earth to create a platform, and sacrificing to Heaven and Earth..."
With those words, Xuandu withdrew.
Fu Xi declared: "Only Heaven is truly benevolent, only Earth is truly sincere, during the lunar month of vegetation, heavenly rain falls upon the river, the dragon horse carries diagrams, the white turtle bears scriptures, and divine inspiration awakens my heart."
"Hence, I painted the Eight Diagrams, journeyed east, united humanity, established Qi Fortune, securing peace from the top down."
"Now that my Dao is accomplished, I shall be the first Holy Emperor of the Human Race, occupying the position of Green Emperor in the East, with the name Taihao, to be passed down through the ages!"
With these words, the celestial sound reverberated, Dao light danced, a mystical yellow essence gathered, an ethereal fragrance wafted, and the light of merit shone brilliantly like the sea, causing the void to tremble.
"We bow to the Holy Emperor!"
"We congratulate the Daoist!"
The ten directions paid homage, and the congratulatory sounds were incessant.
It was only then that Fu Xi revealed his identity, and everyone learned that the former Alliance Hierarch of the Eastern Loose Cultivator Alliance—Taihao—was indeed him!
At this moment, above the Nine Heavens, the Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian led thirty-three Daoist Masters from the Heavenly Dao Committee in a grand entrance.
Behind them were the Divine Officers from various departments of the Heavenly Realm.
All the gods said: "We welcome Daoist Taihao to ascend to the Heavenly Realm, to become the Eastern Heavenly Emperor of our Heavenly Realm!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Xi pushed forward a Dao Crown.
The Green Emperor Taihao appeared.
He looked up to the heavens, laughed heartily.
"Thank you, dear Daoists, for your welcome!"
Thus, Taihao led his subjects from the Dating Clan, Baihuang Clan, Central Clan, Li Lu Clan, and Li Lian Clan to ascend to the heavens.
He established the Eastern Heavenly Realm.
