103: Li Yun breaks through the scheme, and the gods discuss the Dao.

At this moment, everyone felt somewhat envious of Li Yun.

Even though his cultivation was low, one couldn't deny the magnitude of his gains.

Just his cultivation alone had increased so much; how could there be no gains in other areas? That was basically impossible.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Hongyun!"

"Li Yun greets all Fellow Daoists!"

Bowing with cupped hands to everyone, Li Yun followed Zhenyuanzi to the front area and sat down.

After sitting, Li Yun clearly felt the subtle gazes of those around him looking his way.

However, he didn't care. After all, he knew exactly what they were thinking—weren't they just envious that he had gained insights from watching the battle of Quasi-Saints?

If it were true, then fine.

But it was merely an excuse; would Li Yun himself not know whether he actually had any insights?

Because of this, Li Yun could only play dumb for now, hoping these people wouldn't ask what his insights were; if they did, he would truly find it hard to answer.

"Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi~"

Just then, a Cultivator in the crowd stood up, bowed with cupped hands to Zhenyuanzi, and said, "We were just saying that the method of Slaying Three Corpses might have been intentionally released by someone, and there might even be an unspeakable secret within it. What do you think that secret might be?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the others present also looked at Zhenyuanzi with curiosity.

"Slaying Three Corpses?"

Raising an eyebrow, a look of astonishment appeared in the depths of Li Yun's eyes.

He never expected that Zhenyuanzi and the others were gathered here not to discuss the Dao, but to talk about the matter of Slaying Three Corpses.

But how did this matter spread? Others didn't know, but he knew this thing was created by Hongjun, and was even one of the ultimate weapons Hongjun would use to trap Honghuang Cultivators in the future.

But why did it appear now? Based on the words of the Cultivator just now, it seemed this matter had already spread throughout the Honghuang. This was simply... "Is Fellow Daoist Li Yun interested?"

Hearing Li Yun's subconscious exclamation, Zhenyuanzi and the others all looked toward him.

After all, the sudden appearance of Slaying Three Corpses seemed suspicious in every way, and they had all witnessed Li Yun's extraordinary Comprehension Ability, so they naturally wouldn't ignore his presence.

"I am indeed a bit curious!"

Snapping back to his senses, Li Yun knew he had misspoken, but he couldn't deny it now.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Li Yun followed their lead and said, "I have indeed heard of this matter, but I didn't pay much attention to it on the way here!"

"Fellow Daoists also know that my cultivation has not reached that level yet, so the so-called Slaying Three Corpses doesn't hold much attraction for me."

"However, there is one point you all should be able to sense. Since this matter has already spread across the Honghuang, it goes without saying what level of strength the person behind the scenes must have!"

"While I don't know their specific intentions, one thing is certain: this person is deliberately trying to get people to Cultivate the Slaying Three Corpses they released. It's either incomplete, or there are some inherent drawbacks!"

"In that case, if any of you encounter problems or accidents in your cultivation, or if this method later develops issues, who among you will be able to solve them?"

Upon hearing this, Zhenyuanzi and the others narrowed their eyes slightly.

None of them were fools; Li Yun's words were so clear, how could they not understand the meaning?

They were already highly suspicious of the sudden appearance of Slaying Three Corpses, and after hearing Li Yun's explanation, they were even more certain that there were major problems with this method.

As Li Yun said, if there were no problems, how could it be taught so casually and even spread throughout the Honghuang?

Most importantly, no one knew if this version of Slaying Three Corpses was complete, or if some subsequent method was being held back by someone.

If that were the case, and they discovered drawbacks after they started to Cultivate Slaying Three Corpses, it would be a fatal threat and blow to them.

If the mastermind then used the drawbacks of Slaying Three Corpses or the subsequent method to blackmail them into doing something, would they agree or refuse?

"This method must not be learned!"

Almost instantly, the Cultivators present made up their minds.

Even if the information about Slaying Three Corpses from the outside world sounded miraculous, they couldn't afford to take the risk given such potentially massive drawbacks.

Most importantly, Slaying Three Corpses was not the only choice.

They had already obtained other Methods of Proving the Dao from Li Yun's hands back at the Wu Clan, and now that they realized Slaying Three Corpses might be a trap, how could anyone be foolish enough to jump in?

Besides, Slaying Three Corpses required at least three Innate Spirit Treasures, and the higher the grade, the better, to serve as sacrifices to slay the three corpses; only a fool would do such a thing.

In the original story, many Honghuang Cultivators practiced Slaying Three Corpses, but that was because they had no choice back then; Hongjun had only mentioned three Methods of Proving the Dao during his sermon at Zixiao Palace.

Regarding Attaining the Dao through Strength, he simply fooled everyone by using the excuse that even Pangu had failed, making those who didn't know the truth afraid to try it.

The second was Slaying Three Corpses.

The third was Merit Cultivation.

But in that era, was Karma something that could be obtained so easily?

This led to Slaying Three Corpses being the only choice in that era; even if they were reluctant, they had to proceed, though no one would truly use top-tier Spirit Treasures to slay their corpses.

Even the Saints like the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti only used high-grade innate spirit treasures that they had no use for to slay their corpses!

"Fellow Daoist Li Yun's words are truly incisive!"

At this time, the Cultivator who had stood up earlier bowed with cupped hands, his gaze toward Li Yun filled with much admiration and approval.

Immediately after, he said no more and sat down.

His words also woke the others in the room, and the gazes of the group toward Li Yun were filled with approval and admiration.

As the saying goes, the bystander sees most clearly.

Because their cultivation was at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, they had only been analyzing the pros, cons, and relative strengths of Slaying Three Corpses compared to the Methods of Proving the Dao they had obtained.

They hadn't considered at all that this Slaying Three Corpses might be incomplete or have drawbacks.

Compared to this sudden and free information, they still trusted the information they had paid a price to obtain more.

Thinking of this, the crowd of Cultivators immediately swept away their gloom.

They stopped discussing the issue of Slaying Three Corpses and instead began to talk, exchange ideas, and discuss the Dao, just as Zhenyuanzi had suggested earlier!

Whether intentionally or not, the content of these Cultivators' discussions gradually lowered from the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level to the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, and even to the Golden Immortal Realm, and their explanations became increasingly detailed.

Li Yun also listened with rapt attention; much information and content that he had only partially understood in the past became increasingly clear and plain under their narration.
