Chapter 223: Three Corpses To Slay The Dao
Sixth floor of the Immeasurable Tower. The full moon shining down from up in the high sky resembled a mirror.
The girl was dressed in black and stood proudly in this world. With a unique charm, she gave others the sense that she was like an immortal lotus flower traveling throughout the nine firmaments or a mustard seed traveling down the Yellow River. Just by standing there, she gave others a visceral fear.
This was the fear a mortal man would experience if they saw a grim female ghost.
Feng Feiyun also felt a cold chill rising from within. The girl in black standing below the moonlight had a wonderful appearance. Although she was shrouded by fog, one could still tell that her features had changed completely. Of course, she did not change into a ferocious ghost.
However, in Feng Feiyun’s eyes, it was even more difficult to accept than if she had turned into a ferocious ghost.
It was actually somewhat similar to the Evil Woman, but just a bit similar.
“Who the hell are you?” Feng Feiyun glared at her with a cold, firm gaze.
The girl in black was still absorbing the moonlight as her pretty eyes closed. She lifted her head, revealing a beautiful neck that was as white as a swan’s. It was as if she didn’t hear what Feng Feiyun said at all.
“Boom! Boom!” A series of quaking noises came from Feng Feiyun’s dantian. It started off light but soon became more violent as if something wanted to break through his dantian and rush out of his body.
The Evil Woman’s corpse palace was stimulated by something as it crazily shook up Feng Feiyun’s dantian. Corpse energy dispersed alongside the corpse flame as the corpse palace tried to break out of his body.
A powerful force slowly rose from the corpse palace and filled Feng Feiyun’s entire body. This corpse energy crazily channeled itself around his body, creating a layer of gray light around his skin that caused a suffocating atmosphere.
“Whoosh!” Suddenly, a white sacred light destroyed this gray light and densely covered his body, allowing his exhausted self to become full of energy. A huge power capable of suppressing all existences then flew inside his dantian.
The white light floated around as a body emerged like a flawless immortal.
Feng Feiyun didn’t dare to enjoy this power at all because this power was also devouring him as if it wanted to take over his body.
“Good Corpse, are you imprisoned by the Evil Corpse?” The girl in black stopped absorbing the moonlight. Step by step, she approached Feng Feiyun. Her face was beautiful like jade and her eyes were as bright as the stars.
Her sharp fingers took the form of a claw and tried to grab onto Feng Feiyun’s dantian at lighting speed. These slender fingers were like five swords. With flashing glimmers akin to immortal edges, they aimed to break through his dantian to reach the corpse palace.
“Boom!” A force circulated around Feng Feiyun’s body like electricity as his eyes shot out two blinding rays. One of his fists became as hard as steel and became bright. He unleashed this fist on the wrist of the girl in black and pushed her back.
This force that came from the corpse palace in his dantian was now running rampant throughout his entire body. It didn’t want to take over his body and instead only wanted to borrow it to fight against the girl in black.
A wound appeared on the girl in black’s wrist, but in the blink of an eye, a layer of white light glossed over it and immediately healed the wound without leaving a scar behind.
She no longer took action. The earlier exchange made her realize that even if she tried again, she wouldn’t be able to gain anything from it.
“Good Corpse, so you are actually able to cultivate your own intent and finish your fourth corpse transformation.” The girl in black gazed at Feng Feiyun, and her pretty eyes became fixated on his dantian.
These words were obviously spoken to the existence inside the corpse palace.
Although Feng Feiyun didn’t know what was going on, as the chieftain of the demon phoenix race, he was able to notice a clue or two. There was a saying within the daoist doctrine: slay the three corpses to achieve the primordial dao.
The three corpses were referring to the Good Corpse, the Evil Corpse, and the Self.
By slaying all three corpses, one would be able to attain the primordial dao fruit.
However, these were only writings left behind from the daoist forefather’s ancient scripture. Since the ancient times, no one had ever tried to do so. When one person slays their own Good Corpse, at the very least, they would become an evil lord.
However, if they also slay their Evil Corpse, then this person would lose all emotions and desires; they would neither be good nor evil. If they didn’t become a foolish person, then they would become a saint.
However, if they would even slay the Self, then how could they continue to live on?
Because of the reasons above, no one had ever tried to attempt this method. Although the primordial dao fruit might be wonderful, the cost of it might also be fatal.
Could it be that someone was actually cultivating this daoist method? The Evil Woman was the Evil Corpse, so was the fairy-like girl that he had seen inside his corpse palace the Good Corpse?
When tracing back to the origin, they were both the same person.
The Good Corpse was trapped by the Evil Corpse inside her corpse palace, then who was this girl in black before him? Why did she appear inside the Immeasurable Tower?
Could she be the Self, the true body?
