184: Chapter 184 Haotian Transforms into the Primordial Chaos Technique

The power of the Heavenly Dao descended upon Lingxiao Palace.

Without giving Haotian any room to react or resist, it instantly enveloped his Dao body.

Before his eyes, light and shadows were in disarray, the galaxy inverted, and space folded and twisted.

In just a fleeting moment.

Haotian's figure vanished into thin air from Lingxiao Palace, traversed billions of Void Realm, and instantly descended upon—Zixiao Palace.

Inside Zixiao Palace, it was eternally serene, with unchanging pure Qi permeating in all directions.

Three thousand Great Dao Laws floated in the Void Realm like flowing water, wispy and intricate, possessing infinite mystery.

Haotian stood in the hall, gazing at the familiar scene, deep confusion rising in the depths of his eyes.

"Where is this? Master's Zixiao Palace?!"

The Heavenly Court had only just begun to show signs of rising, and he could not imagine what business Master had in summoning him.

A thousand thoughts surged in his heart, yet he dared not hesitate in the slightest.

Following his memory, he stepped steadily, walking across the Innate jade steps, moving step by step toward the very center of Zixiao Palace, to the lotus throne where Hongjun often sat.

Raising his eyes, he saw a figure indeed sitting quietly upon the lotus throne.

Wearing a simple and unadorned Chaos Dao robe, with a calm and distant expression, devoid of joy or sorrow, the Dao aura around him merged with the world, as if he were the Dao itself.

Suppressing all shock and doubt in his heart, Haotian bowed his head, his posture extremely respectful:

"Haotian pays respects to Master."

Upon the lotus throne, Hongjun's eyes were slightly closed, and upon hearing the voice, he slowly opened them.

A pair of saintly eyes that could see through the Reincarnation of eternity and perceive all mists calmly swept over Haotian below, and he softly uttered a single word:

"Hmm."

As the word fell, the three thousand Laws floating within Zixiao Palace all trembled slightly in unison.

Immediately after, that calm and distant voice sounded once more, stating the purpose of summoning him across the distance:

"I summoned you today to impart the true Primordial Dao to you."

The words were calm, causing no ripples in Zixiao Palace, yet they shook Haotian's mind.

Haotian's Dao body jolted violently, wild joy instantly surging into his heart, and the Qi around him churned intensely!

"Primordial Dao?"

"Master was going to personally teach him the Primordial Dao!?"

Haotian did not understand the word "true" in Hongjun's words.

He assumed it was the same kind of sermon as the three lectures.

Before the wild joy could fully reach his brow, Hongjun had already lightly tapped the Void Realm with his fingertip.

A stream of Dao aura information, "carrying the truth of the Cutting Three Corpses method," instantly pierced through Haotian's barriers, without any obstruction, and poured entirely into his Primordial Spirit.

Countless obscure, hidden, and ancient truths exploded like a tidal wave!

"Cutting Three Corpses, breaking through to Quasi-Saint, merging the three corpses, and proving the Primordial Dao."

This Great Dao of sainthood, which had circulated through the prehistoric era for endless years and was revered by all living beings as orthodox, had all its hidden drawbacks and fatal flaws laid bare before Haotian's eyes!

When this method is cultivated to the extreme, it appears as if the three corpses have been fully cut and the Dao merged to reach the Primordial realm, but in reality, the Dao foundation is flawed, the Great Dao is sealed off, and the path ahead is severed!

The so-called Cutting Three Corpses to prove sainthood was never the true Primordial Dao; it was merely a dead end, deliberately paved to look like a path to the heavens, but in reality, one that could never lead to transcendence!

In an instant, Haotian stood frozen on the spot!

Extreme astonishment, shock that overturned his cognition, and disbelief that seeped into his very marrow swept through his entire being.

"Shock! Shock! And more shock!"

He stood there blankly; after becoming the Heavenly Emperor, his usually calm and majestic eyes were now wide open, his mouth agape, his mind blank, unable to recover for a long time.

The cognition of eternity had collapsed in an instant!

The Cutting Three Corpses method, which countless beings had arduously cultivated for eons and revered as the Great Dao, was actually a dead end!

A long, deathly silence enveloped him.

After a long time, Haotian finally managed to break free from the overwhelming shock, his voice dry and hoarse, carrying a trembling tone of disbelief as he asked with difficulty:

"Master... back then, did you deceive the three thousand Innate divinities?"

"The Cutting Three Corpses method... is actually a severed path, and it is impossible to reach the Primordial realm at all?"

Upon the lotus throne, Hongjun's expression remained calm and waveless from beginning to end. Facing Haotian's inquiry and shock, he simply spoke calmly, revealing the secret:

"The Cutting Three Corpses method is indeed flawed and is not the Primordial Dao. However, this method is the choice of the Heavenly Dao and the inevitable trend of the prehistoric era."

"When the great trend is before you, all living beings must make way."

Simple words that explained the entire reason, without any sense of right or wrong, discussing only the rules of the Heavenly Dao and the great trends of the prehistoric era.

Haotian's heart was filled with mixed emotions; countless questions, unwillingness, and sighs surged to his lips, and he wanted to ask again.

But just as he was about to open his mouth, Hongjun had already gently raised his hand, his plain white finger waving slightly, directly stopping any further words from him.

The distant Dao sound resonated through Zixiao Palace once more, drowning out all distracting thoughts:

"The past is illusory; there is no need to investigate it further."

"Today, I impart the true Primordial Dao to you."

Upon hearing this, Haotian's body trembled slightly, his thoughts churning endlessly, and he stood in silence for a long time.

A moment later, he raised his eyes to look at the holy figure on the lotus throne and asked the question he was most concerned about in a deep voice:

"Master, Yaochi and Princess Longji are currently still practicing the Cutting Three Corpses method; can they change their path?"

Knowing it was a dead end, Haotian did not want his family to walk a path of death.

Hongjun's gaze was calm as he slowly replied:

"The great trend of the Heavenly Dao is set; all living beings must practice the Three Corpses method. In the future, when the prehistoric era ascends in dimension and the great trend changes, the Heavenly Dao will naturally open a new path for all living beings."

Upon hearing this, Haotian, as a semi-saint, understood everything.

The Heavenly Dao wanted to better control the prehistoric era; other than this possibility, Haotian could not think of any other.

After all, there was still a special clan in the prehistoric era that also had Primordial, and two of them at that.

It was impossible to let Yaochi switch.

But! Princess Longji was still young and had not practiced the Three Corpses method, so everything was possible.

Small trends could be changed.

After thinking it through, Haotian bowed solemnly:

"Haotian understands."

"Good."

Hongjun nodded slightly; as the word fell, the Dao aura became magnificent.

The next instant, he raised his hand and grasped into the air.

The number one treasure for enlightenment in the prehistoric era, the jade plate of creation, broke through the air and appeared.

The jade plate flowed with Chaos radiance throughout its body, with billions of Innate Dao patterns intertwined, carrying the 3,000 Great Dao, floating in the Void Realm, emitting a gentle and supreme light of development.

Hongjun lifted his hand, and the jade plate of creation rose slowly, hovering steadily three feet above Haotian's head in the Void Realm.

"Hum—"

A vast sound of the Dao resonated through Zixiao Palace!

Extremely brilliant Chaos light suddenly erupted, spreading in all directions.

The original three thousand Great Dao Laws within Zixiao Palace instantly surged tens of millions of times, and the extremely dense three thousand Laws condensed into substance, wrapping and covering every inch of space around Haotian.

Coming from all directions, it washed and cleansed Haotian's Primordial Spirit and Dao fruit.

Haotian's mind was solemn, with no more distracting thoughts.

He raised his hand to take out the prayer mat bestowed upon him by Hongjun, placed it on the jade floor of Zixiao Palace, sat upright, and crossed his legs.

He closed his eyes gently, completely emptied his mind, and fell into a state of enlightenment.

Subsequently, Hongjun made his next move.

Pointing towards Haotian, the Primordial Dao aura entered his Primordial Spirit.

Under Hongjun's guidance, Haotian began to mobilize all his magic power, destroying the three corpses he had cut, and switching to cultivate the Primordial Dao.
