Chapter 125: Self-realization, external force realization, resource realization, and the difference between realization

The baptism of the long river of the Great Dao fell, Taiqing welcomed the baptism, and began to step into the realm of Hunyuan.

This baptism passed very quickly. After the long river of the avenue dissipated, Taiqing was entangled with the Yin-Yang Avenue. Its aura was remarkable and instantly suppressed the sky and spread throughout the prehistoric world.

Even Emperor Qing on the top of Buzhou noticed it at this moment.

Emperor Qing's deep gaze, seeing through eternity, fell on the land of Kunlun: "Has Taiqing achieved Hunyuan? And it is not achieved by refining Hongmeng purple energy. This is quite interesting."

"It's a pity that Taiqing's method of breaking through the Hunyuan realm is ultimately insufficient. The Hunyuan realm achieved in this way is at most an alternative Hongjun."

Di Qing murmured and immersed himself in cultivation again. He didn't care about Tai Qing's breakthrough at all.

The same was true for the Hunyuan Old Body and the Shenge Old Body. Their eyes were indifferent, as if they did not take Taiqing seriously.

But Emperor Qing was so indifferent, but the rest of the Wu Clan and the Kunlun Immortal Clan didn't think so. Seeing Tai Qing break through the Hunyuan realm, they also had many thoughts. Especially the Immortal Venerables of Creation who had been unable to break through, they also had many doubts.

Those doubts and thoughts also turned into many questions and fell into Di Qing's ears.

Di Qing also found it difficult to continue practicing because of the noise, and with helplessness, he could only choose to come out of seclusion.

……

In the Buzhou land, inside the Ancestral Witch Temple.

Emperor Qing looked at the many ancestor witches, as well as the Immortal Lord of Creation, who had gathered together again.

They looked at Di Qing with eager eyes, with many doubts: "Chief Di Qing, this Tai Qing has also broken through the Hunyuan realm. And the secret method used to break through seems to be..."

"Yes, it is the method of beheading the three corpses created by Hongjun. Ever since Hongjun gave a lecture in Zixiao Palace and passed on the method of beheading the three corpses, I think you have learned something about it. Even some of you have obtained the method of beheading the three corpses through various means."

"You should also be aware of the characteristics of the method of beheading the three corpses. However, if you want to achieve Hunyuan with this method, you must find three innate treasures that match the great way you are cultivating to carry your three corpses. Then find the Chaos species that match your great way. Only in this way can you achieve Hunyuan with the method of beheading the three corpses."

"Although Hongjun and Taiqing achieved Hunyuan with this method, they did not think it was so easy to practice. In addition, after years of practice and two breakthroughs in the Hunyuan realm, I finally came to a conclusion. Different ways of breaking through the Hunyuan realm will bring different strengths, backgrounds, and futures."

“And the breakthrough method of beheading the three corpses is just an inferior breakthrough method in my eyes.”

As Di Qing spoke, he also observed the gazes and expressions of the many cultivators in front of him. He first needed to see some clues from them.

After all, the temptation of becoming a Taoist is right before their eyes, and perhaps some of them will be tempted. Although Di Qing became a Taoist twice and taught them the method of becoming a Taoist, many cultivators will eventually become depressed if they fail to make a breakthrough. In addition, the method of beheading the three corpses made Hongjun and Taiqing become Taoists, proving the uniqueness of this method. For this reason, it is normal for some cultivators to be tempted.

Di Qing knew very well what the temptation of becoming a god meant to the prehistoric cultivators.

However, after observing the surroundings, Emperor Qing found that all the cultivators in front of him, not only the Ancestral Witch, but also the members of the Kunlun Immortal Clan, did not show any desire or excitement. At most, they were confused and wanted to know the secret.

Obviously they were just curious about the method of beheading the three corpses, but they were not interested in it.

Di Qing was very satisfied with this. "I didn't expect that none of you would be tempted to switch to the method of beheading the three corpses. This really surprised me, but also made me very satisfied."

"Chief Di Qing, do we really not make you trust us? Is my ultimate success so cheap?" The Hongru Immortal Clan couldn't help but feel a little angry, as if they were angry at Di Qing's distrust of them.

Emperor Qing laughed and said, "Haha, this is my fault. Okay, you all know how difficult it is to practice the Three Corpses Slashing Technique. And the way to prove the Dao by the Three Corpses Slashing Technique is praised by me as the external object proof method. In my eyes, this method of proving the Dao can only be relegated to the lower level."

"You know, there are strong and weak Hunyuan cultivators, and the cultivation of the Hunyuan realm also requires foundation and accumulation. Different ways of breaking through the Hunyuan realm have a great impact on the strength, foundation, and cultivation after the Hunyuan realm."

“Speaking of which, this is the conclusion I came to after breaking through the Hunyuan Realm twice. Therefore, I divided the methods of breaking through the Hunyuan Realm into three types.”

"The first one: self-attestation! To explore oneself, to explore one's own roots, to find chaos from the innate, to achieve the devil from the innate, and then to achieve the great Hunyuan. The foundation and future brought by breaking through the Hunyuan realm in this way will be the strongest. And the three methods of seeking the Tao, the Three Treasures and Nine Turns Method... all follow this path. It's a pity that this path is difficult to walk. But if you can walk through it, then you will enter the Hunyuan realm, which is far superior to the Hunyuan cultivators of the same level. And in the future, you will go further in cultivation."

"The second method: Proving the Dao with resources! Finding Chaos Resources, and using them to achieve the Primordial Realm. You should know that Chaos Resources are essentially another kind of innate resources, and using them to achieve Primordial Realm is the most normal way to break through. Therefore, the Primordial Realm achieved by this method is not as amazing as the first method, but it is the most effective way to break through.
It is conventional and most reasonable.”

"The third method: external force to prove the truth! This method of breakthrough is to find external objects to help oneself break through. Although chaos resources can be considered as external objects, they are relatively pure and will not have much impact on oneself. On the other hand, Hongjun and Taiqing use the innate treasures and the sacrifices of chaos species to force out the phantom of the Chaos Demon God, and then use it to condense chaos resources. However, these chaos resources are more or less mixed with the breath of the phantom of the Demon God, and even the remaining marks and resentment of the phantom of the Demon God. Such impure things will also affect their cultivation in the Primordial Realm, as well as their own foundation and future."

"To put it simply, the essence of cultivation is a process of qualitative change. The three ways of breaking through the Primordial Chaos are also a process of qualitative change. However, this qualitative change is from the innate to the chaotic qualitative change. And the purer this qualitative change process is, the more powerful it is."

"So there are three ways to break through. The first one is the most powerful qualitative change. It is the purest one. The second one is the pure chaos resources. The third one is not pure enough. So the changes it brings are different."

“That’s why I rated the breakthrough in the Three Corpses Slaying Mode as the lowest. That’s also why, even though we’re both in the Primordial Realm, I was able to easily overpower Hongjun.”

In the past, Di Qing thought he could easily defeat Hongjun. This was entirely due to his lack of cultivation and his incomparably pure self, coupled with the strength brought by the Wu Clan.

But only after breaking through the Hunyuan realm twice did he realize why he was stronger than Hongjun.

Because when Hongjun broke through the Primordial Realm, the qualitative change process was not pure enough. The imprint of the Time Demon God was integrated, which affected his own path and his own footing to some extent.
