92: He took in disciples from his own corpse and taught his daughters under the laurel tree.

As they spoke, Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi secretly circulated their magic power, ready to flee at any moment.

Although the disparity in their cultivation was immense and they were no match for him, the two still had some confidence in their Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Art.

Worst case scenario, there were at least two of them while the figure before them was alone; when the time came, one could sacrifice himself to secure a slim chance of survival for his brother.

“This poor Daoist is Hongxuan!”

Glancing at Dijun and his brother, how could Hongjun's Self Corpse not see through their little schemes?

However, to complete the task assigned by his Main Body—to Cultivate these two to become strong enough to continue dealing with the Wu Clan and force out the person behind the scenes—he could only patiently speak: “I see that you two share a Revered Master-Disciple destiny with me. Are you willing to take me as your Revered Master?”

“What?”

“Take a Revered Master?!”

Hearing this, the anxious Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi were both dumbfounded.

They had thought this person appeared to snatch their treasures or perhaps to kill them.

But they never expected that this person appeared here to take Disciples. This was simply... wonderful!

This was a Quasi-Saint, and a powerhouse far stronger than Dijiang.

If they took him as their Revered Master, wouldn't they obtain the Method of Proving the Dao? Then, wouldn't the two brothers be able to advance to the Quasi-Saint Realm and wash away their previous humiliation?

At this thought, Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi exchanged a glance and bowed without hesitation, saying: “Disciple Dijun (Taiyi) greets Revered Master!”

“Mm.”

Nodding, Hongxuan was not surprised by their choice.

However, his cold personality as the Self Corpse meant he wouldn't waste much time on them. With a wave of his hand, he produced two jade talismans and gave them to Dijun and Taiyi.

Immediately after, Hongxuan spoke slowly: “This is the Method of Proving the Dao that I Cultivate, Slaying Three Corpses!”

“You two may comprehend and Cultivate it on your own. As long as you complete the corpse-slaying, you can advance to the Quasi-Saint Realm. Become as strong as possible.”

“At this stage, I don't need you to do anything, but in the future, you must complete three matters I assign to you!”

“Once completed, our Revered Master-Disciple destiny shall be considered repaid!”

After speaking, Hongxuan wasted no more words. He took a step forward, and the space in front of him distorted to form a passage. His figure vanished instantly.

“This...”

Looking at the vanished Hongxuan, Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi were stunned.

They never expected this bargain Revered Master to be so unreliable, leaving after merely giving them the Method of Proving the Dao without fulfilling any duties of a Revered Master at all.

Most importantly, the words Hongxuan said before leaving made them feel aggrieved and displeased.

Repaying the Revered Master-Disciple destiny after completing three matters!

Is this a Revered Master and Disciple? This is clearly an equal exchange. You actually have the nerve to call yourself Revered Master; this is shameless to the extreme.

“Big Brother...”

Opening his mouth, Donghuang Taiyi spoke with some indignation: “This guy completely looks down on us. He didn't want to take us as Disciples at all; he just wanted to make us his pawns and thugs.”

“What a joke. Does he really think we brothers are easy to bully? To despise us so much, he truly deserves to die!”

It was impossible for Donghuang Taiyi not to be angry.

Whether it was cultivation, potential, foundation, or Comprehension Ability, he was top-tier.

If you say you're taking a Disciple, I've accepted it, but taking a Disciple like this is clearly just recruiting a thug, and under such circumstances, you still use the Revered Master-Disciple title to bind us. This is simply... “Second Brother, be careful with your words!”

Dijun spoke up to stop Donghuang Taiyi from continuing.

His eyes gazed deeply at the area where Hongxuan had departed, and he gave a cold smile: “At least we got what we needed, didn't we?”

“With the Method of Proving the Dao, you and I can advance to the Quasi-Saint Realm. Then we can make a comeback and wash away our shame!”

“My plan and ambition to be the master of the great desolation absolutely cannot fail, and I absolutely cannot lose to those savages who have no Primordial Spirit.”

“As for this fellow calling himself Hongxuan, once those three matters are finished, there will be no more Revered Master-Disciple status, and he will pay the price for his behavior today.”

Hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi nodded. He gripped the jade talisman in his hand and said through gritted teeth: “Big Brother, I'll listen to you.”

“Let's go. We'll head back to rebuild the Sun Palace first. Then we can Cultivate the Slaying Three Corpses he gave us. The priority is to advance to the Quasi-Saint Realm as quickly as possible; otherwise, the gap between us and others will grow too wide!”

These words also gained Dijun's approval.

After exchanging a look, the two didn't hesitate any longer and directly flashed back toward the Sun Star.

After rebuilding the Sun Palace, Dijun and his brother once again set up Restrictions, barriers, and arrays, then immediately returned to their respective rooms to begin comprehending the Slaying Three Corpses method recorded in the jade talismans... “Father God, is this true? There really is a third Three-legged Golden Crow?”

“How is that possible? If a third Three-legged Golden Crow really existed, why wasn't he with Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi? Why hasn't any information about him leaked out at all?”

On the Taiyin Star, Xihe and Chang Xi stood before the moon laurel tree, speaking with faces full of disbelief.

After listening to the moon laurel tree's narration, stormy waves surged in both their hearts, and they felt a genuine sense of incredulity.

“It is indeed true!”

Glancing at Xihe and her sister, a face on the moon laurel tree showed a hint of softness before it continued: “Furthermore, in my view, this child's potential, heritage, and foundation have already surpassed Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi. He is the most suitable match for you two sisters!”

“This child's Extreme Yang has reached the limit. Once you join with him, you can transform into the Primordial Chaos Body. At that time, your potential, foundation, and cultivation will all be greatly enhanced.”

“Especially Chang Xi; the damage you suffered during your transformation back then was immense, and you have only been able to maintain the appearance of a child until now. If you can join with him, you should be able to completely repair those injuries.”

“Of course, Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi could also achieve this. It depends on how you two sisters choose.”

Hearing this, Xihe and Chang Xi's faces turned slightly red.

They understood perfectly what the moon laurel tree meant, but having witnessed the defeat of Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi during this trip to the Great Desolation, the two sisters indeed didn't have much favorable impression of them.

On the contrary, that third Golden Crow...

According to the account of their Father God, the moon laurel tree, his cultivation might not be as high as Dijun or Donghuang Taiyi's, but his potential and foundation were greater.

This also meant that as long as he was given enough time, this third Golden Crow would surpass Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi in the future to become the most powerful existence.

In that case, why not choose him? Why choose the Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi who had disappointed them and whom they did not approve of?

Thinking of this, Xihe asked: “Father God, where is this third Three-legged Golden Crow now?”

“No rush~”

With a slight smile, the moon laurel tree looked at Xihe and Chang Xi, then spoke: “He still needs a period of time to develop and grow. Your priority is to increase your cultivation as quickly as possible!”

“The current landscape of the Great Desolation has changed greatly, and the heavenly secrets have shifted accordingly. The birth and emergence of Quasi-Saints will become increasingly frequent!”

“Therefore, what you two need to do next is to become stronger as quickly as possible. Only by reaching the Quasi-Saint Realm can you truly gain a foothold in the Great Desolation!”

As it spoke, the moon laurel tree swayed slightly.

Following that, a section of the moon laurel tree's Main Body could be seen quietly cracking open, with endless cold Qi gushing out from within. The moon laurel tree's voice then rang out: “Come in!”

“Next, I shall teach you two the Method of Proving the Dao. You are not to come out until you have entered the Quasi-Saint Realm!”

“The current Great Desolation is full of undercurrents; your current level of cultivation is too dangerous!”
