83: Publicly proving the Way through force, planning the twelve grades of karmic fire red lotus

As soon as these words were spoken, the Cultivators present immediately became excited.

At the same time, they were quite curious in their hearts. What kind of Method of Proving the Dao could make Laozi say such things, and even have such confidence that the vast majority of people wouldn't dare to Cultivate it or be able to complete it?

"Fellow Daoist Laozi is truly generous!"

With the corners of his mouth curling up, Li Yun offered a word of praise to Laozi.

Immediately after, he wasted no more words and spoke directly in front of the many Great Divine Power Holders: "The path Fellow Daoist Laozi follows is Attaining the Dao through Strength."

"I believe Fellow Daoists are no strangers to this; it is the path cultivated by the Great God Pangu. Its power is beyond doubt!"

"The so-called Attaining the Dao through Strength is to perform one's own power to the extreme, breaking through limits time and again, surpassing limits time and again, and finally transcending boundaries to become invincible within the same Realm!"

"Everyone saw the situation inside Mount Buzhou earlier. Even if it was a Mid-stage Quasi-Saint Cultivator, so what? Before Fellow Daoist Laozi, who has just entered the Quasi-Saint Realm, they were still nothing to be feared, and they couldn't even do anything to him!"

"And that was only because the opponent relied on the power of an Innate Spirit Treasure. If the grade of the Innate Spirit Treasures they held were similar, Fellow Daoist Laozi could have easily annihilated that mysterious Quasi-Saint without even needing the help of Ancestral Witch Di Jiang."

Hearing this, the Cultivators present nodded.

Laozi was indeed powerful.

As an Early-stage Quasi-Saint, he fought an uphill battle against a Mid-stage Quasi-Saint and firmly held the upper hand, even when his Innate Spirit Treasure was inferior to the opponent's.

Before, they were still wondering how Laozi had done it—why, with both having Quasi-Saint cultivation, the one with the higher cultivation was actually much weaker.

Now, they completely understood.

It turned out Laozi was cultivating the path of Attaining the Dao through Strength, the same path the Great God Pangu cultivated back then!

For a moment, envy and longing flashed in the eyes of countless people.

Just what Li Yun said already demonstrated the power and potential of the method of Attaining the Dao through Strength, but unfortunately, this was truly not something people like them could attempt.

Attaining the Dao through Strength required not only a profound personal foundation but also knowledge of its internal workings and information.

This point alone directly cut off the hopes of ninety-nine percent of Cultivators, not to mention that Laozi was only able to succeed because he possessed the Pangu Inheritance.

This also meant that unless you could obtain the specific content and techniques of Attaining the Dao through Strength from Laozi, you could only grope around on this path alone. By then, the difficulty would be unquestionable, and it would most likely end in a futile effort!

Thinking of this, many people shook their heads, thinking to themselves: "No wonder Di Yi would just explain it directly!"

"No wonder Laozi doesn't mind the other party exposing his cultivation situation. It turns out that even if we are told about this Attaining the Dao through Strength, we don't have the foundation or the nerve to Cultivate it."

For a time, everyone's expressions dimmed, but they didn't completely trust everything immediately. Instead, they turned to look at Laozi, waiting for his further confirmation.

"It is indeed so!"

Facing their gazes, Laozi also looked at Di Yi with some surprise before continuing, "What I Cultivate is indeed the path of Attaining the Dao through Strength, and the situation is much as Fellow Daoist Di Yi described!"

"As for the content and specific details, I am sorry, but as they involve the Pangu Inheritance and other matters, they cannot be shared with outsiders!"

Hearing this, the gathered gods nodded and did not continue to press for anything.

Matters concerning the Pangu Inheritance were not something they could covet.

If they showed any greed for it at this time, Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian would immediately put them on a must-kill list without even needing to say a word.

Thinking of this, the gods were certainly a bit disappointed, but they were more excited and expectant.

After all, since Li Yun's words had been verified, the information he held regarding other Methods of Proving the Dao would also be beyond doubt.

"Fellow Daoist Di Yi, I wonder how one might exchange for the information you possess?" Minghe was the first to ask.

In an instant, the others also looked curiously at Li Yun, their eyes filled with anticipation.

After all, as long as they obtained the information, they would have the possibility of advancing to the Quasi-Saint Realm or even reaching higher levels and standards.

"Simple!"

With his lips curling up, Li Yun was not polite with Minghe and said straightforwardly: "As long as Fellow Daoist gives me that Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, I can provide you with at least three Methods of Proving the Dao that suit you!"

"How you choose then will depend on your own decision, but the prerequisite is that you cannot leak the information I tell you. What does Fellow Daoist Minghe think?"

"By the way, these three Methods of Proving the Dao exclude Attaining the Dao through Strength!"

*Hiss—*

Hearing this, the breathing of the Cultivators present became hurried.

Three!

Besides Attaining the Dao through Strength, Li Yun actually mastered three more Methods of Proving the Dao.

How shocking was this? How enticing was this?

However, after the shock, the gazes of the others subconsciously turned toward Minghe.

The Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

Most people did not know what this was, nor did they know its grade.

But for Li Yun to say such things, this item was definitely no simple treasure.

"How do you know!"

Frowning, Minghe looked at Li Yun with some shock and said, "This item is one of my Companion Spirit Treasures, and I have never revealed it before outsiders. For Fellow Daoist Di Yi to know so clearly is truly curious!"

What!

Hearing this, the Cultivators in the area were once again greatly surprised.

They didn't doubt Minghe's words; since he had never revealed this item before outsiders, how did Li Yun know? Was it secret observation? Or some other means?

Thinking of this, many people became suspicious and uneasy.

After all, they basically all had their own secrets. If Li Yun had peeked at them, then... "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I am not one who likes to talk nonsense."

Waving his hand, Li Yun knew Minghe's wariness and immediately said without hesitation, "Now it just depends on whether you will make the trade or not!"

After speaking, Li Yun looked toward Minghe, his heart filled with immense anticipation.

The Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

This item was a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, and it was also one of the four lotus seeds of the former Chaos Green Lotus.

The twenty-four-grade creation azure lotus he had fused with earlier was also one of the lotus seeds. If he could gather and fuse all four lotus seeds, his Physique and foundation would be significantly improved.

In Li Yun's view, the value of the four lotus seeds was not inferior to any of the ten great innate spiritual roots, making them indispensable.

"I can!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Minghe hesitated for only a moment before making a decision.

With a wave of his hand, the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus appeared in his palm. He then looked at Li Yun and said, "Since Fellow Daoist needs it, I can give it to you, provided the information you speak of is not false—"
