Starting from crossing the Fengshen

Chapter 898 Quasi-Saint! Quasi-Saint! (Part )

"It's time to chop off the corpse!"

Yin Qi opened his eyes, his heart pounding.

During the two thousand five hundred years, he not only refined the Human Emperor Bell, but also laid a solid foundation.

In the prehistoric cultivation system, strictly speaking, both quasi-saints and saints should actually belong to the holy realm.

The cultivation of a quasi-saint is a process, while that of a saint is only about results.

The relationship between the two is causal, not hierarchical.

What is a saint?

A saint places his primordial spirit in the void and merges into the Way of Heaven, thereby gaining the authority of the Way of Heaven and being able to act on behalf of Heaven.

However, the Way of Heaven is emotionless and desireless, while humans have seven emotions and six desires. Therefore, if one wants to integrate into the Way of Heaven, the cultivator must cut off all his own emotions, achieve the state of supreme forgetfulness, and thus merge with the Way of Heaven.

The quasi-saint realm is actually the process of cutting off one's own emotions and achieving the supreme state of forgetfulness.

Only after the supreme forgetfulness of emotions, the cultivator's soul becomes emotionless and desireless, and then it can be integrated with the will of heaven.

This is called harmony with the Tao.

This "harmony with the Tao" actually refers to the will of Heaven.

Hongjun's Hedao is to complete the Dao of Heaven.

The two are not the same.

In the prehistoric world, there are three ways to become a saint:
One is to prove the truth by force;
The second is the method of beheading the three corpses;
The third is the way of merit.

The way of merit is actually the way of luck. Taking Tu as an example, he created the six realms of reincarnation and became a saint.

All other saints combined beheading the three corpses with attaining enlightenment through merit and virtue.

As for proving the truth through force.

It is not about the rules of cultivation power, but about breaking the constraints of heaven with one's own strength.

This "force" refers to one's own strength and combat power.

Killing the three corpses and merging with the Tao, or becoming a saint through merit, are both equivalent to "asking" for the authority of the Heavenly Dao.

But if you are strong enough, you can also forcibly demand this authority from the Heaven.

For example, Pangu.

According to legend, Pangu proved his truth through force. He relied on his own powerful strength to break through chaos and open up the primeval world. He was not like the saints today who needed to rely on the power of the primeval world.

Between the two, a judgment call is made.

To use a vivid metaphor, the saints of the ancient times are equivalent to the rich second generation.

Although he is not that good, his family is rich.

Pangu is the entrepreneurial generation.

Only after understanding the method of becoming a saint did Yin Qi understand the difficulty of becoming a saint.

Pangu fell in order to prove his truth with force.

No one, including Hongjun, succeeded in slaying the Three Corpses to attain enlightenment, and they all relied on the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

In other words, without the Hongmeng Purple Qi, he would most likely not be able to become a saint.

Although he had thought before that if the three corpses were entrusted with the Human Emperor Bell, the Tai Chi Diagram, and the Pangu Banner, he might be able to recreate the Axe of Creation, fuse the three corpses, and attain enlightenment.

But this is just speculation after all.

As for the merits and virtues of the Way.

This sounds easy, but in fact the probability is not high.

The only one who truly achieved merit and enlightenment was Hou Tu.

He didn't think he could create an existence comparable to the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Moreover, even if he could create an existence comparable to the Six Paths of Reincarnation and upgrade the prehistoric world again, it would be basically impossible for him to become a saint because the saints would definitely not allow it.

Although the ancient world is vast, it is not big to a saint.

If he wants to learn the way of the saints, he needs to kill the three corpses, accumulate merits, and have a ray of primordial purple energy.

But if you use the Hongmeng Purple Qi, you will be bound by the laws of nature in the future.

This is not what he wants.

Just like the order of Hongjun Daozu, the saints dared not disobey it.

Although he was invincible in the ancient times, he was also trapped in his own cocoon, and it would be difficult for him to have a chance to break through in the future.

"I still have a chance!"

Yin Qi whispered, his eyes gleaming. In his opinion, there are not only three ways to attain the truth and become a saint, at least the truth of the law should be added.

If one comprehends a certain law to a very deep level, such as the 'root system' level, and completely controls a great law, then one can naturally be on par with a saint.

It is not the way of heaven, but it is better than the way of heaven.

In addition, being in harmony with the Dao does not necessarily mean being in harmony with the great Dao of Heaven.

If he can open up his inner world to a large enough size, and then use his primordial spirit to entrust the inner world and be able to exert saint-level combat power, then he will naturally be considered an alternative saint.

He could even offer sacrifices on the altar of luck and deduce other methods of attaining enlightenment.

Or go to other worlds to find a solution.

In short, with the Altar of Fortune, everything is possible.

At worst, I can prove my truth with force.

However, these are still too far away and will not affect the current corpse beheading, so Yin Qi did not think about it anymore.

In fact, beheading the three corpses does not simply mean cutting off one's own emotions, but after cutting off the emotions, the soul can merge with the heaven and earth and leave its own mark.

The more corpses you kill, the deeper your integration with heaven and earth will become, and the more power of heaven and earth you can draw on.

The power of a quasi-saint lies in his ability to borrow the power of heaven and earth.

However, this process is also extremely dangerous.

If you succeed in beheading the corpse, you will naturally be able to leap over the dragon gate.

If it fails.

In the worst case, you will lose yourself and be assimilated by the laws of nature.

Back then, I heard that the three thousand worldly guests in Zixiao Palace were all Daluo Golden Immortals.

Moreover, they are the top group of innate gods and demons in the prehistoric world, but how many of them have achieved the status of quasi-saints?

This shows how dangerous and difficult it is to behead a corpse.

Without absolute certainty, no one would try.

……

Yin Qi slowly closed his eyes.

In his mind, endless evil thoughts were slowly growing, killing, cruelty, bloodthirstiness, lust, laziness, evil, etc. All kinds of negative emotions filled his mind.

To kill the evil corpse means to kill all the evil thoughts in your heart.

Where do evil thoughts come from?
Of course, it is cultivated by oneself, actively triggering and amplifying the evil thoughts in one's heart without limit.

In this process, you must ensure that you are not harmed by evil thoughts.

Wisps of black smoke continued to emanate from Yin Qi's body, exuding an extremely fierce and evil aura, entwining around him, making him look like a demon crawling out of hell, ready to destroy the world.

Yin Qi frowned, and drops of sweat kept oozing out.

At this moment, in his own spiritual world, he is engaged in the most arduous struggle. On the one hand, he has to completely release and expand all kinds of negative desires in his heart; on the other hand, he needs to keep a bit of clarity in his mind.

Once his mind is lost, his thoughts will be occupied by endless negative emotions. In the mildest case, he will be invaded by demons and become a puppet who only knows how to kill. In the worst case, he will be possessed by the devil and his soul will be destroyed.

This is the horror of beheading evil corpses. It has nothing to do with your cultivation level and can only rely on your personal perseverance.

If you can survive, you can kill the evil corpse;
If you can't get through it, everything is over.

In fact, when a quasi-saint is beheading corpses, there is actually no fixed order as to whether he should behead the good corpses first or the evil corpses first, or even his own corpses.

Kill whichever is easier to kill first.

……

Time passed slowly and I didn't know how much time had passed.

The entire time array was filled with endless evil spirits, which were constantly evolving into various demons, screaming and howling.
Yin Qi sat cross-legged in the middle, like the lord of all demons.

He was trying his best to release the evil thoughts in his heart, the evil thoughts hidden deep in his soul.

These evil thoughts would occasionally emerge on weekdays, but they would soon be suppressed by Yin Qi's personal will, so they would be hidden deeper and deeper over time, and even he himself would find it difficult to detect.

When the last bit of evil thoughts was released, the evil spirit in Yin Qi reached its peak. Countless demons seemed to be taking shape, each emitting an aura fluctuation at least above the Golden Immortal Realm.

They struggled, trying to break free from Yin Qi's restraints.

At this moment, a strong thought suddenly burst out from the depths of Yin Qi's consciousness.

It was like a sharp sword cutting through the consciousness.

"cut!"
