As his words fell, everyone present, including the Axe Madman, looked puzzled. Cutting off the three corpses, what kind of thing is that?
But Star Lord Hao Yue's expression changed significantly, did Cao Zhen actually know about cutting off the three corpses?
Had Cao Zhen's past life already reached that level? However, it seems plausible since it's said that above a Daluo Golden Immortal is a Saint, and cutting off the three corpses is related to becoming a Saint.
Everyone around noticed the change in Star Lord Hao Yue's expression, and they all looked over.
The Axe Madman whispered, "Hao Yue, what is cutting off the three corpses?"
We are all reincarnated beings of great ability, so why do you all know about cutting off the three corpses, and I don't?
"You ask me, but I don't know either. I only know that cutting off the three corpses is related to becoming a Saint, but I don't know exactly what cutting off the three corpses is."
Star Lord Hao Yue truly did not know, he didn't even know which were the three corpses.
"Becoming a Saint?"
The crowd was shocked again upon hearing this—how did it come to involve Saints!
The Sect Guardian Beast was also stunned; the other party knew about cutting off the three corpses, undoubtedly because in their past life they were at least an existence in the Golden Immortal Realm, after all, those in the True Immortal Realm rarely know about the three corpses. But this does not prove that the other party is a Daluo Golden Immortal!
Cao Zhen smiled gently as he heard the discussions around him and spoke, "One can become a Saint by cutting off the three corpses—every cultivator has three types of malicious desires.
In fact, the three corpses are the three corpses and nine worms.
The upper corpse worm is named Peng Hou, residing in the human head, causing ignorance and lack of wisdom.
The middle corpse worm is named Peng Zhi, residing in the human chest, causing troubles and delusions, preventing tranquility.
The lower corpse worm is named Peng Jiao, residing in the human abdomen, causing greed for lust and appetite.
Cutting off the three corpses means cutting off obsessions. Without obsessions, one can become a Saint.
Of course, cutting off the three corpses is just one method to become a Saint, or rather, it's the most common method to become a Saint. Besides, there are two other methods—the first one is becoming a Saint through great merit, which requires the accumulation of extensive merits, yet where in the world can one find so many merits!
Therefore, this method is even more difficult than cutting off the three corpses to become a Saint. Another method is proving the Dao through strength; as long as one's strength is sufficient, one can become a Saint, but clearly, this is the most difficult among the three methods."
The crowd, listening to Cao Zhen's explanation, felt as if they understood nothing and everything at the same time. They vaguely sensed that on the grand path ahead, there was a fine thread appearing. They desperately wanted to grasp this thread, but no matter what, they couldn't.
The Sect Guardian Beast was astounded; the path to becoming a Saint was indeed something he had heard before. That person had once spoken to him about it, and it was luck that allowed him to accidentally learn about the path to becoming a Saint.
The ways that person mentioned about becoming a Saint, the first two were the same as what Cao Zhen said: becoming a Saint through great merit and cutting off the three corpses.
Initially, that person also told him that ordinary beings in the Golden Immortal Realm couldn't access the path to becoming a Saint.
So, Cao Zhen really is the reincarnation of a Daluo Golden Immortal!
Moreover, Cao Zhen mentioned proving the Dao through strength, which was something that person hadn't mentioned; Cao Zhen even knew an additional path to becoming a Saint!
Who exactly is this Cao Zhen that he knows so much!
Does this mean that in his past life, he had already begun to strive towards becoming a Saint?
While the Sect Guardian Beast was in shock, suddenly, off to the side, there was a soft "puff" sound. He turned and saw Immortal King Flying Parrot spitting out a large mouthful of bright red blood, his entire aura becoming extremely chaotic.
"Reckless!"
The Sect Guardian Beast shouted suddenly, his voice not loud, yet like a great bell ringing in the hearts of everyone present. Instantly, all those in the True Immortal Realm were awakened, and in no time, their foreheads were drenched in sweat, their bodies soaked as if they had been fished out of a pond.
Just now, as they listened to Cao Zhen's words, they began reflecting involuntarily, thinking of many things. Vague as it was, they also discovered a path ahead, yet that path seemed so far away from them, they were desperately trying to catch up.
They could feel that chasing after the distant road was much more exhausting than usual, but they couldn't bear to stop, so they grew even more weary. At that moment, the shout from the Sect Guardian Beast woke them up, and they realized that their internal energy had become so chaotic that they were bordering on a state of inner demon disturbance.
All at once, everyone was alarmed; they had nearly fallen into a state like this just because of a few words from Cao Zhen. Had the Sect Guardian Beast not called out in time, they might have been demonized!
These people are all beings in the True Immortal Realm, based on a few words entering into such a dangerous state, how terrifying is that!
There was also the Supreme Elder...
Everyone turned towards the Supreme Elder, who merely waved his hand, indicating he was unharmed.
Seeing that everyone had regained their senses, the Sect Guardian Beast finally breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at them and reproached loudly, "Do you want to die? The path to sainthood is not something you can touch at present! Why did you try to comprehend that path?
Luckily, I discovered it early. Had I been late, each of you would have been demonized!"
Those with weaker cultivation bases, such as those in the Immortality Regainment Realm, didn't quite grasp the gravity of the situation, but those with higher cultivation understood more—those closer to the realm of saints. For instance, those in the Golden Immortal Realm didn't face much danger.
It was precisely those in the True Immortal Realm, who could understand these words but whose cultivation base had not reached the necessary level to comprehend them safely, who were truly in peril.
He now genuinely believed that the Hundred Peaks Sect Leader was the reincarnation of a Daluo Golden Immortal, otherwise, how could he know so much? Yet he didn't quite understand why the Hundred Peaks Sect Leader would disclose such information, especially since there were followers among the True Immortal Realm who regarded him as their Pathfinder. Wouldn't that harm them?
