Primordial: I, Dijun, Only Want to Build the Great Desolation-Chapter 169 - 163 Di Jun Discusses Quasi-Saint
Chapter 169: Chapter 163 Di Jun Discusses Quasi-Saint
Yuan Shi and Tong Tian looked at their elder brother with joyful smiles on their faces.
Both of them were genuinely happy for their elder brother, who was the first Quasi-Saint in Primordial Heaven and Earth, truly living up to his identity as a Pangu Descendant.
Tai Ching Laozi naturally felt Yuan Shi and Tong Tian’s genuine affection and showed a smile.
A moment later, Yuan Shi and Tong Tian exchanged a look.
"Please teach us, elder brother."
Yuan Shi said to Laozi, with Tong Tian also showing a face full of longing.
This was the first Quasi-Saint in Primordial times, how precious was his experience?
"It should be so, as The Three Pure Ones and descendants of Pangu, we should act as one."
Then Tai Ching Laozi passed on his breakthrough experience to Yuan Shi and Tong Tian.
He even told them about how tests from the Demon Clan could help in breaking through to the Quasi-Saint Realm.
Because of the Demon Clan’s test, Tai Ching Laozi had severed his corporeal body; he felt that the Demon Clan’s test was indeed very useful.
Back then, when listening to the teachings at the Purple Cloud Palace, Tai Ching Laozi divided the Three Corpses according to his own understanding.
In his view, the Good Corpse and the Evil Corpse were the easiest to be severed, as good and evil are easy to distinguish.
The most difficult was the Self Corpse, which required profound introspection and a deep understanding of oneself.
It was precisely because the test from the Demon Clan helped him to understand his true self that he believed the test from the Demon Clan to be of great assistance.
However, Tai Ching Laozi himself was as indifferent as water, which was also key to his ability to sever the Self Corpse.
After all, things that could stir emotions in Laozi himself were few and far between.
Unfortunately, after undergoing the test of the Demon Clan, Yuan Shi and Tong Tian could not gain any insightful realization.
Similarly, they did not retain any memories related to the test of the Demon Clan.
Neither of them gave up; they meditated peacefully according to the experience taught by Laozi.
At the same time, they kept attempting the test from the Demon Clan, hoping to truly gain some enlightenment from it.
Sun Star.
Di Jun looked at the Demon Name List in his hands, feeling the rapidly depleting Spiritual Power within it.
He couldn’t help but personally start to check the source of this power drain.
Tong Tian?
Yuan Shi?
After checking, these two names surfaced in Di Jun’s mind.
During this period, the tests from the Demon Clan triggered by Tong Tian and Yuan Shi had been the most frequent.
What kind of realm were these two in, having reached the limit of Daluo Golden Immortals, to create a Spiritual Illusion Realm to accommodate them and shield their Spiritual Power, the consumption of Spiritual Power was naturally huge.
However, there was one thing that Di Jun was puzzled about.
Why would Yuan Shi and Tong Tian repeatedly invoke the tests of the Demon Clan; could it be that they also urgently wanted to join the Demon Clan?
Soon, Di Jun rejected this idea.
The Three Pure Ones as Pangu Descendants, how proud they were, how could they possibly want to join the Demon Clan, and surely Tai Ching Laozi would never agree.
Di Jun continued to trace back and surprisingly found the figure of Tai Ching Laozi.
Laozi also wanted to join the Demon Clan?
Suddenly, a flash of insight struck Di Jun, and he calculated the time when Laozi became a Quasi-Saint.
He came to a conclusion that made him laugh and cry: Who would have thought that my Demon Clan’s test could actually help others break through to the Quasi-Saint Realm?
No wonder Yuan Shi and Tong Tian would continually trigger the tests from the Demon Clan.
Di Jun looked back at the Demon Name List, and a streak of light entered into the list.
My Power of Spirit cannot be wasted on this.
Di Jun thought in his heart.
The Demon Name List had already shielded the auras of Yuan Shi and Tong Tian, and would not bestow Power of Spirit upon them anymore.
Kunlun Mountain.
Yuan Shi and Tong Tian, as usual, activated the simplified version of the Celestial Heaven Star Formation, waiting to enter the test.

Though they had waited for a long time, the simple Celestial Heaven Star Formation showed no sign of change.
In an instant, both realized something, and their expressions turned ugly.
"This Di Jun..."
Yuan Shi wanted to say something, but didn’t know how to reproach Di Jun.
Was he supposed to reproach Di Jun for not allowing him to test himself with the Demon Clan?
He himself didn’t sincerely want to join the Demon Clan, so on what grounds could he reproach Di Jun?
Tong Tian remained silent and left the place, returning to where he practiced his cultivation. freēwēbnovel.com
Since there was no shortcut, he would have to rely on himself to breakthrough to the Quasi-Saint Realm.
Sun Star, Palace.
Di Jun looked around at everyone, Brothers Fu Xi and Nuwa, Sisters Xi He and Chang Xi, Demon Master Kunpeng, Bai Ze, Donghuang Taiyi.
All these people had come together to seek guidance on the path to becoming a Quasi-Saint from him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my own path follows the old laws, the way of the Primordial Golden Immortals, how can I explain the path of the Quasi-Saint to you?"
Di Jun spoke directly.
"Demon Emperor, you possess the highest cultivation, and you have also heard Daoist Ancestor’s sermons. Please guide us."
Fu Xi stood up and said.
Di Jun sighed, thinking to himself: It seems Taiching Laozi’s becoming a Quasi-Saint has had a huge impact on everyone; they have all become impatient.
"Brother, please explain the path of the Quasi-Saint from the perspective of a Primordial Golden Immortal."
Taiyi said.
"Demon Emperor, you do not need to be modest. Back then in the Purple Cloud Palace, you alone understood that the Daoist Ancestor’s teachings on the Quasi-Saint’s path were incomplete."
Xi He spoke.
Hearing Xi He’s words, everyone’s eyes lit up.
"Demon Emperor, we really cannot manage to cut the Three Corpses; please provide your guidance."
Demon Master Kunpeng bowed and spoke.
Di Jun, observing the expressions of everyone, said, "Very well, I shall share my understanding of the path of the Quasi-Saint for your reference."
"This time, I’ll only talk about my understanding, not about the Dao or techniques."
Di Jun emphasized again.
"Please guide us, Demon Emperor."
Everyone said in unison.
"I believe that the path of the Quasi-Saint described by the Saints should separate the Quasi-Saint and the Three Corpses."
Seeing everyone pondering, Di Jun continued.
"The Quasi-Saint is a realm, like the Primordial Golden Immortal; the difference is merely that the Quasi-Saint belongs to the law of the Immortal Dao while the Primordial Golden Immortal follows the old laws. Though the levels of the realms are related to the Three Corpses, it is not a necessity."
"Demon Emperor, isn’t cutting the corpses related to the realm?"
Demon Master Kunpeng asked.
"There definitely is a relation, but it’s not as significant as you imagine."
Di Jun emphasized again.
"I believe that the Three Corpses are not a realm, but a cultivation method, and one could say it’s possible to reach the Quasi-Saint Realm without cutting the corpses, even to continue to refine oneself within the Quasi-Saint Realm."
After saying this, Di Jun paused for a moment, then after a brief moment of thought, continued.
"If we divide the Quasi-Saint into three stages, lower, middle, and upper, how would you have originally thought of it?"
Fu Xi thought for a while before saying, "Cutting one corpse for the lower stage, two for the middle, and three for the upper stage."
"That’s right."
"But I do not think so; I believe that without cutting any corpse, one can cultivate to the upper stage, same as one, two, or three corpses can."
"Cultivation is nothing but comprehending the Heavenly Dao and continuous refinement."
"The benefit of cutting the corpses is that you could use tools like Innate Undying Spiritual Light and merit to expand oneself, to better comprehend the Heavenly Dao."
"In the end, what’s important is not cutting the corpses, but comprehending the Heavenly Dao and advancing one’s cultivation."
Upon listening to Di Jun’s words, everyone couldn’t help but be lost in thought.
