155: Did the Queen Mother of the West compromise and find another way to sever the Three Corpses?

"Your Majesty..."

At this moment, Peony's breath was as thin as a thread, her eyes full of pleading as she looked toward the Queen Mother of the West.

Not only had she been captured, but her entire cultivation had been abolished by Yuanshi and Tongtian.

While she could still maintain her human form for now, she no longer possessed her former strength; even if she recovered, she would at most reach the level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm or Profound Immortal Realm.

But she was not resigned.

In her wildest dreams, she never imagined that simply destroying the dao arena of a Golden Core Cultivator would draw out Yuanshi and Tongtian, or that the two would completely disregard the Queen Mother of the West's Face and cripple her.

"Shut up!"

The Queen Mother of the West glared at Peony with disappointment. For this maidservant who was once her favorite, she now felt only a heart full of anger and resentment, wishing she could cut her into a thousand pieces.

It was because of her momentary impulse that the Three Pure Ones were given an opportunity to force them to leave West Kunlun Mountain—this was her dao arena, the place where she had always lived.

However, anger aside, the Queen Mother of the West was well aware that there was no room for reconciliation; since the Three Pure Ones had acted, they were prepared to kill.

Peony on the ground was the best proof; she was the chicken killed to warn the monkeys.

"Three Fellow Daoists!"

Taking a deep breath, the Queen Mother of the West looked up at the Three Pure Ones, bowed slightly, and said, "This was indeed a misunderstanding caused by my lack of strict discipline over my subordinates. I have no intention of becoming enemies with you three!"

"However, since this has already happened, I will not make excuses. I am willing to withdraw from West Kunlun Mountain. I ask the three of you to grant this!"

She had lost!

One wrong move and the whole game was lost!

The Queen Mother of the West was rational. Knowing she couldn't keep the West Kunlun Mountain dao arena, it was better to take the initiative to give it up rather than give the Three Pure Ones an excuse and opportunity to continue attacking.

This scene caused Yuanshi and Tongtian to frown, clearly dissatisfied with how things were turning out.

They had crippled Peony specifically to provoke the Queen Mother of the West; as long as she struck back, the Three Brothers could have forced everyone to stay permanently.

But now that the Queen Mother of the West was retreating to advance later, once she left this place, she would surely become a hidden threat.

"Very well..."

At this moment, Laozi spoke slowly: "Since Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West has made her decision, we are not unreasonable people!"

"Three days. We give you three days to leave West Kunlun Mountain. At that time, we will send someone to take over this place. As for this Jade Pool Forbidden Zone!"

Speaking to this point, Laozi paused before slowly continuing, "Since your people destroyed Fellow Daoist Li Yun's dao arena, this place shall be given to Fellow Daoist Li Yun as compensation!"

"Fine!"

Taking a deep look at Laozi, the Queen Mother of the West understood that the latter was destroying her spirit after her defeat.

As for Li Yun...

Although his cultivation was not high, the Queen Mother of the West never dared to look down on him.

Whether it was Tongtian bringing Li Yun to her door back then, or Li Yun's relationship with the Wu Clan, it was destined that this weak Cultivator held an extraordinary status within the Primordial World.

Though it was uncomfortable for her dao arena to belong to Li Yun, she could still accept it; after all, it wasn't the Three Pure Ones personally occupying the place.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother of the West immediately said, "There is no need for three days. I will pack some things and leave now!"

With that, the Queen Mother of the West immediately took action.

After waving her hand to collect the necessary items, the Queen Mother of the West led her female Cultivators and the surrounding suitors to leave West Kunlun Mountain in disgrace.

With this, West Kunlun Mountain belonged to the Three Pure Ones, and the entire Kunlun Mountain was considered completely unified... "Bastard!"

"Damn Li Yun, damn Ancestral Witches!"

At Mount Sumeru, Zhunti's angry roar echoed in all directions.

Regarding the trip to Mount Buzhou, aside from the people of the Demon God Palace, they were the only losers.

The two of them had indeed seen Di Yi, but Di Yi was Li Yun's Clone; how could he be foolish enough to help them?

Once Zhunti advanced to the Quasi-Saint Realm, he would inevitably seek trouble for him. Since he couldn't pull them out by the roots, Li Yun naturally wouldn't give them any information regarding the Method of Proving the Dao.

Because of this, no matter what price Jieyin and Zhunti paid, they ultimately ended in failure. They gained no information; instead, because of a few words from Di Yi, they were ostracized by both the Ancestral Witches and other Cultivators, forcing them to flee back to Mount Sumeru in disgrace.

"Second Brother!"

Seeing that Zhunti was still acting crazily and unable to regain his composure, Jieyin, who was nearby, sighed and stepped forward, using absolute power to suppress Zhunti onto the ground.

After doing all this, Jieyin looked at Zhunti and said, "There is no possibility of undoing this matter. No one expected the relationship between the Ancestral Witches and Li Yun to be so good, or that Di Yi would so readily acknowledge that fellow Li Yun's existence."

"Now you and I have no chance of obtaining the Method of Proving the Dao from the Wu Clan. Our only hope is the Method of Slaying Three Corpses!"

"Although there may be hidden dangers, as long as we advance to the Quasi-Saint Realm, you and I will still have a chance!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhunti's rationality gradually returned.

Looking at Jieyin before him, Zhunti spoke with difficulty: "Elder Brother, I understand."

"Slaying the three corpses requires Spirit Treasures, but right now you and I are penniless; how are we to proceed?"

"Simple!"

Waving his hand, Jieyin said with a solemn expression, "During this time, I have deduced some content regarding the Method of Slaying Three Corpses. I found that the so-called slaying of corpses is merely externalizing one's three corpses of good, evil, and self, allowing the self to be in a state closest to the Dao!"

"The reason for using an Innate Spirit Treasure as a vessel is to become stronger, or even to condense a powerful Clone, but these are things you and I can discard."

"We cannot directly become much stronger, but as long as we advance to the Quasi-Saint Realm and Cultivate well, this gap can be continuously narrowed over time!"

"I have created a Golden Body Method. It is similar to a Clone but also somewhat different. When the time comes, we will entrust the three corpses into it, and our own cultivation can then advance to the Quasi-Saint Realm."

Hearing this, Zhunti's eyes lit up.

Golden Body Method!

It bypassed the condition of needing an Innate Spirit Treasure as a medium for Slaying Three Corpses.

This sounded quite good and even had a high probability of success.

Thinking of this, Zhunti stood up directly and said, "Elder Brother, I'll listen to you!"

"We will Cultivate by Slaying Three Corpses; we will Cultivate the Golden Body Method!"

"Li Yun, Ancestral Witches, and that Di Yi—you just wait for me. Once I advance to the Quasi-Saint Realm, I will definitely make you pay for your actions!"

Jieyin saw all of this, but he had no intention of stopping him.

It wasn't just Zhunti.

Even he currently harbored great resentment toward Li Yun, the Ancestral Witches, and Di Yi.

It was only because their current strength was insufficient. Once their strength was enough, they would definitely make Li Yun and the others pay.

Thinking of this, Jieyin immediately said, "Come with me!"

"Before we Cultivate, you and I must first refine the remaining details of the Golden Body Method!"

"Furthermore, your cultivation has not yet reached Great Overarching Golden Immortal Perfection; you still need to improve as quickly as possible!"

"Until we reach the Quasi-Saint Realm, we shall not leave Mount Sumeru for the time being, nor shall we participate in those matters within the Primordial World."
