Chapter 161: The Heaven-Abandoning Emperor's Gift

Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators

Dream-Making Expert

Three days later.

Lin Qi withdrew from the Dream Bubble Shadow, his face pale.

The Myriad-Wonder Heart Fire, once held in such high hopes, now coiled within his Three Talismans of Essence, Qi and Spirit.

Burning fiercely, day and night.

Consuming and erasing the distracting thoughts transmitted by the Three Corpses.

He knew things had gone badly wrong.

The fallout from Slaying the Three Corpses was far more troublesome than he had anticipated.

Because the Three Corpses were not true inner demons. They were not even obsessions.

Good, evil, and self were part of human nature to begin with.

As long as even a trace of humanity remained.

Then good, evil, and self would forever exist.

Lin Qi could never truly refine and slay the Three Corpses.

The only thing he could do was persist in not being influenced by the Three Corpses.

"How did those legendary powerhouses who slayed the Three Corpses ensure they wouldn't be affected by the Three Corpses they cut out?"

Lin Qi tried to find, within ancient texts, the key by which the Three Corpses-slaying experts of the ancient era preserved their true selves.

Soon.

He found the answer.

"Divinity?"

An answer both within reason and yet beyond expectation, leaving Lin Qi deep in thought.

Resisting the erosion of humanity with the light of divinity.

Naturally, one would be unaffected by the Three Corpses.

Such a method was diametrically opposite to the Return to Void of the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm.

This made Lin Qi wonder whether the Return to Void cultivation of the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm was a product of cultivating the Three Corpses-slaying method in reverse.

"Never mind."

"Things will work out when the time comes."

"For now, I can't do anything about the Three Corpses."

"Then I can only follow the original plan: first bring the divine abilities other than Dream Bubble Shadow to full transformation."

Lin Qi set down the text.

He no longer rushed to ponder how to resolve the Three Corpses.

In any case, with the Myriad-Wonder Heart Fire suppressing the Three Talismans of Essence, Qi and Spirit, he could temporarily isolate the influence of the Three Corpses.

He could delay a while longer.

If it truly came to it, he could also do as Daoist Yuan instructed.

Go find a Dharma Treasure that could defend the mind.

The real priority right now was actually to bring the greater part of his divine abilities to full transformation as quickly as possible.

"I have already refined seven kinds of Pre-Heaven Divine Fire."

"Two remain."

"Daoist Qinglan still owes me one."

"The last one, I should also be able to exchange for with the Myriad-Wonder Heart Fire later."

"As for the two strands of Pre-Heaven Heavenly Lightning that the Wind-Thunder Wings lack."

"They may exist within the Thunder Domain Secret Realm."

"Even if I don't go to the Thunder Domain Secret Realm."

"Perhaps I can still use the Myriad-Wonder Heart Fire to exchange for them."
