Chapter 46: Fated Encounter

  In the eastern wilderness, a mountain valley, Luo Huan looked at the formation in front of him with curiosity. The formation didn't seem to be naturally formed, but rather like it was set up by someone. Although the formation wasn't bad, no matter how he looked at it, it only seemed to be equivalent to the cultivation of the top of the Luojin Immortal Peak, nothing special.

  But Luo Huan thought that now he was in dire need of talented individuals, and this cultivator seemed to have the ability to cultivate himself to the peak of the Great Luo. If he were to take him under his wing, wouldn't that mean he would have another powerful subordinate? Luo Huan thought to himself and let out a sly laugh that sent shivers down people's spines.

  In Luo's view, since he had come to this valley, he couldn't leave empty-handed. If the master of the valley was willing to surrender to him, that would be fine. But if they dared to resist, then it wouldn't be his fault for being ruthless and merciless. After all, there weren't a few innocent people who had died at his hands, and perhaps there might even be some unexpected gains.

  Just as Luoyu was about to break through the formation, Hongjun was beheading the last corpse. It turned out that after being injured last time, Hongjun had come to this valley to recover and casually set up a formation on the mountain that could block Daluo Jinxian. After all, in the current Hongyuan, there were few strongmen who had reached the realm of laws, and even Daluo Jinxian would rarely encounter them. So Hongjun was very relieved to have only set up a formation at his cave entrance that could block Daluo Jinxian.

  Hong Jun was already a master of the Two Corpse Rule, but after obtaining the Taiyin Divine Pearl, he stayed here to heal his wounds. Not only did he recover from his injuries, but he also refined the Taiyin Divine Pearl. Now Hong Jun is preparing to slay the last corpse and become an quasi-saint with the Three Corpse Rule, the pinnacle of cultivation. As long as he waits for the opportunity, he can merge the three corpses into one and achieve the ultimate goal of becoming a Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal master.

  Only saw Hong Jun's head on top of three nine-grade lotus platforms in cyan, purple and gold colors. Each lotus platform emitted a divine aura, the Taoist laws and principles fluctuated and spread out from above the lotus platform.

  This is Hong Jun's three flowers. Generally, when one achieves the Great Luo Golden Immortal, they will achieve the three flowers gathering at the top. At first, the three flowers are just a flower bud and have not yet bloomed. This is the initial cultivation of the Great Luo Golden Immortal. If one has opened one flower, it is equivalent to reaching the middle stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal's cultivation. In this way, as long as all three flowers are fully open, it can be considered the peak cultivation of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

  However, these three flowers also have a distinction of level. Generally speaking, the three flowers that are cultivated in the Xiantian Demon God are all above six products when they bloom, just like the nine-product lotus flower opened by Hong Jun now is one of the better qualifications in the Hongyuan. It's already exciting to think that some later-day creatures can become Daji Golden Immortals, and it doesn't matter what kind of product distinction.

  This Da Luo Golden Immortal is the end point of cultivation for many people, but for a small number of people it's just the starting point. Therefore, only a few can lay a solid foundation during their cultivation. The level of achievement of a cultivator in becoming a Da Luo Golden Immortal determines their future potential. Generally, those who can form a six-petaled lotus platform will not be able to successfully become a Hunyuan Da Luo Golden Immortal without relative opportunities and enlightenment.

  As for the seven, eight and nine product lotus platform, it has even more potential later on. Taking Hong Jun as an example, if he doesn't become a saint in the future, it's possible that he won't be able to go further. However, if he does become a saint, although he will have very strong power at first, later on, he will need to open up the progress of the Hong Huang world to advance further. If the Hong Huang world never makes progress, then Hong Jun's cultivation will also never be upgraded.

  It's very difficult to evolve with only one world, of course, there is another way to increase power, that is to merge with the Heavenly Dao, which means that oneself will never be free again, and all actions will be restricted by the Honghuang world. Moreover, this method requires the fragments of the Canghai Jade Butterfly, the more fragments of the Canghai Jade Butterfly, the stronger the power that the practitioner can obtain, just like Shi Zhong's previous life, that Hong Yu had almost all the fragments of the Canghai Jade Butterfly, and after merging with the Heavenly Dao, his cultivation was almost equal to the entire Honghuang Heavenly Dao.

  After all, all the laws in the vast wilderness world are in the creation jade butterfly, if you can get all the fragments of the creation jade butterfly, I believe it is possible to control the entire vast wilderness world.

  Only on the middle and left flowers of the three-flower crown on Hong Jun's head were two people sitting, who were the evil corpse and the obsessive corpse beheaded by Hong Jun with the Sun God Pearl and the Star God Pearl. On the right flower, however, there was no one, only a pearl. But now this pearl looked extraordinary, it kept spinning and emitting auras of laws, which was exactly what Hong Jun wanted to behead another corpse.

  Hong Jun originally had the Dao line of the law peak, but his cultivation has been slow to break through. This is also because he hasn't found a suitable object for beheading corpses. Now that he's finally found the Taiyin Divine Pearl and refined it, beheading another corpse will be easy as pie.

  "Whoosh!"

  Only to see a primordial spirit that was somewhat similar to Hong Jun flying out directly from the top of Hong Jun's head, but this primordial spirit had an expression full of compassion and kindness, with a warm smile on its face. It seemed that even the most evil person would be moved by Hong Jun's expression. In contrast, another person on top of Hong Jun's head had a ferocious look, while the compassionate-looking primordial spirit was actually the benevolent corpse that Hong Jun was about to behead.

  The so-called "beheading the corpse to prove the way" is actually a unique creation of Hong Jun, which means taking out one's own obsessions, good thoughts, and evil thoughts from one's own body, so that one's own body can better conform to the Great Way, and have a deeper understanding of the Great Way without being influenced by oneself. However, after getting rid of one's three kinds of thoughts, one's own body is still not complete, and it is impossible to attain the Mixed Yuan through one's own power with an incomplete body. Therefore, in the end, one must reunite one's own three corpses with one's own body, only then can one achieve the fruit of the Mixed Yuan Way.

  It's not difficult to say, nor is it easy. This mainly depends on whether Hong Jun is willing to personally teach and pass on the knowledge. Shi Zhong remembered that in the mythological world of his previous life, Hong Jun never personally taught and passed on the knowledge, but only said that as long as one cuts off the three corpses, they can attain the position of a saint. However, he never mentioned that in the end, the three corpses must be reunited; if not, it is impossible to form the position of a saint, and one can only rely on their merits to verify the position of a sage.

  In the myth of past lives, Laozi was the most depressed. He beheaded the three corpses but nothing changed, he just deepened his Taoism a bit. However, he didn't dare ask Hongjun about the situation. It's not like you're cheating him, right? If you provoke Hongjun, even if he doesn't kill you, it's still possible to seal you for several eons.

  Hong Jun's benevolent primordial spirit flew out of his body towards the Taiyin divine pearl, and as soon as it collided with the pearl, he found that his primordial spirit had merged into the pearl. All that could be heard was Hong Jun shouting again.

  "Cut!"

  A single word was spat out from his mouth, forming a series of grand and true words that shot towards the Divine Pearl, only to see it constantly changing.

  "Wow!"

  "I've met fellow Taoists on the path, congratulations to them for making further progress in their cultivation, the Great Way is within reach!"

  Suddenly, the Taiyin Divine Pearl transformed into an old Taoist who looked 70% similar to Hongjun. This person was actually the embodiment of Hongjun's good thoughts that he had just beheaded. Hongjun used the Three Treasures Divine Pearl to behead the three corpses, and the Three Treasures Divine Pearl was a pre-heavenly top-grade spiritual treasure. At present, each of Hongjun's transformed corpses possessed the power of the law in the later period.

  Shan Shi drew his sword and turned to Hong Jun to ask for directions.

  "How can a fellow Daoist utter such words? Being on the path is being a fellow Daoist. How can a fellow Daoist utter such words? This is the joy of you and me!"

  Hong Jun also expressionlessly said to his own corpse, now Hong Jun has beheaded his three corpses, so basically he won't show any emotions anymore. Because the current Hong Jun is no longer affected by the joys and sorrows of the outside world. The current Hong Jun is just like a deaf person with emotions, he has emotions but what you say to him has no effect. By doing this, one can also concentrate on comprehending the Tao more wholeheartedly. Perhaps this is that state of not being happy because of external things and not being sad because of oneself.

  "Good! I'll take my leave first then."

  Hongjun's corpse spoke and then transformed into a divine light, heading towards Hongjun's other lotus platform. It landed on the lotus flower, motionless at first, but slowly sank into Hongjun's body.

  "Finally beheaded the three corpses, and got one step closer to the Great Way! Ah, the Great Way is hard to seek!" After saying that, Hong Jun closed his eyes again to comprehend the gains from this beheading.

  Hong Jun is now a quasi-saintly master at the peak of having three corpses beheaded, and in terms of his Taoist practice, he is even more powerful than those cultivators who entered the law earlier. With the addition of the precious spiritual treasure on Hong Jun's body, it is impossible for anyone to casually deal with him in the vast wilderness now.

  After all, the two innate treasures are among many innate spiritual treasures, and there is also an innate spiritual root. This family foundation is not something that anyone can compare to. However, just as Hong Jun was about to deeply comprehend the gains of this cultivation, he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from outside.

  "Boom, boom.........."

  Hearing this sound, Hong Jun's face turned purple and green with no expression. Now, Hong Jun's mood can be described in just two words: "angry".

  Think about it! If such a thing happened when Hong Jun was just beheading the corpse, what would happen to Hong Jun? What if he disturbed his most forbidden cultivation, let alone beheading the corpse. So can Hong Jun get angry?
