The Investiture: Unlimited Blade Works Nezha

Chapter 481: The Ambition Beyond One Corpse Cutting


The two discussed for half a day to finish all the conversation, and Nezha gave the bald willow branch he had obtained to Guanyin. This thing was a branch of a hollow willow, containing the Space Dao and being a plant, it perfectly matched Guanyin.

Without hesitation, Guanyin inserted it into her Suet Jade Flask and continued her business of collecting sutras. The sutra collectors had been chosen, and she needed to assess them.

Watching Guanyin leave, Nezha relaxed his mind and slowly swept over the path westward. It was fine if these people misunderstood; it was just the right opportunity for him to see who dared to jump out.

After handling some trivial matters, Nezha went to Lishan. Ever since comprehending the Primordial Great Luo Dao of the Daoist Ancestor, Nezha's accumulation had reached a very high level, and his true cultivation had faintly touched the Primordial Realm.

The current situation was that his mind understood, but his body didn't. Moreover, proving the Primordial was not a matter of slapping one's forehead and shouting "I get it" to instantly become a Saint. It required many objective conditions.

Comparing it to a game would be like undergoing a job change at level one hundred. First, you must reach level one hundred, but breaking through from ninety-nine to one hundred involves many prerequisite conditions; it's not something that can be achieved just by grinding for experience.

Nezha is now preparing the conditions to break through to level ninety-nine.

Lishan Old Mother was also aware of Nezha's current situation, but she could no longer assist him because their paths were different.

Back when Nuwa was at this stage, the external environment was quite poor. At that time, there were seven who acquired the purple qi, and their thoughts were very different from Nezha's now. Nuwa's thought was to quickly become a Saint by any means necessary.

Currently, Nezha also has many external enemies interfering, but how can the pressure they give Nezha compare to the Three Pure Ones and the Western Two Paths?

Therefore, Nezha has more time to implement his ideas.

During this time, Nezha has been pondering which desires of his are the strongest, suitable for cultivation, differentiation, and severance. He hesitated for a long time, but now he has figured it out.

He always thought of himself as human, with exceedingly complex thoughts, yet sometimes terrifyingly simple. After observing the Human Clan for a while and reflecting on himself, he finally had an idea.

The desires of humanity are endless, but summed up, they are nothing more than power, authority, and beauty.

Does Nezha have these desires?

Yes, absolutely.

Nezha's persistence in cultivation is a pursuit of power, his desires for authority and beauty are a bit weaker, but they are certainly not absent,

So now Nezha is about to cut out his own corpse. He has named his commonly used method the Three Corpses Cutting Method·Modification. No matter how much the process is altered, the question is whether it was cut in the end.

Moreover, his most revered Daoist Ancestor is watching from above. The Daoist Ancestor used the Three Corpses Cutting Method, the Six Saints used the Three Corpses Cutting Method, now should you raise your profile, do you want to die?

Therefore, even though this so-called Three Corpses Cutting Method's inner strength has been altered beyond recognition by Nezha, it must still be wrapped in the guise of the Three Corpses Cutting Method.

This is also a kind of 'following the higher example'.

Nezha sat cross-legged to brew his thoughts for a moment, finally deciding to first cut off his desire for power. His heart for pursuing the Dao has surpassed all else.

Nezha originally thought his first attempt would face some difficulties, but unexpectedly it went exceedingly smoothly. Firstly, using the Demon Dao method to amplify his obsession with pursuing the Dao, after nurturing a peak that even Nezha found difficult to control, he divided the excessive obsession from his own, and finally, using a Creation Jade Scroll Fragment as the magical treasure to carry it, he successfully cut out the first corpse.

The process didn't take long, about fifty or sixty years, mainly because Nezha had already done a lot of calculations at every step, minimizing the chances of errors.

After completing everything, Nezha's body fell back, feeling like he wanted to do nothing. Cultivation?

Success relies on continuous efforts, so today and tomorrow I'll take a break first!

He wiped his forehead, and a white-robed Nezha that looked exactly like him appeared with a Huntian Silk tied on his forehead, inscribed with the words 'Effort'.

As soon as it appeared, it said disdainfully: "You're so young, how can you sleep? Get up and cultivate!"

"Only people useless to the Primordial slack off all day!"

Nezha's original body slapped his forehead, wondering if it made sense for this avatar to disdain the slack of the original body.

He suddenly remembered Lishan Old Mother occasionally complaining to him about Nuwa's body not doing proper work, and he suddenly empathized deeply with his teacher.

Being disdained by a corpse-cutting avatar, is this also part of Nuwa's lineage tradition?

Thinking of this, Nezha suddenly relaxed his mindset; after all, it's not my fault!

"Ahem, Daoist Friend is correct, why not hurry back to cultivation, time is money!"

The forward-looking version of Nezha gave a disdainful look and turned into white light, entering the original body's brow, disappearing without a trace. Nezha subtly perceived and showed a satisfied expression.

Teacher, is this the joy of cultivating on autopilot? I've felt it!

Actually, it's not that Nezha became lazy; the first corpse cutting still had a small mistake, which was cutting out a little too much of his drive.

That's why Nezha is now a bit more laid-back, but this won't last long, and he will naturally recover after self-adjustment.

This 'drive' that was cut out this time is Nezha's strongest desire, and the magical treasure used was also a Creation Jade Scroll Fragment. Although it only has the cultivation of a Daluo Golden Immortal now, it should be the most profound of Nezha's three corpses.

Nezha rested a little more, then got up to meet Lishan Old Mother.
