Library of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 2238

Zhang Xuan shook his head. “I’ve never heard of it before.”

“You’ve never heard of it before?” Ancient Sage Zi Yuan was stunned for a moment before asking with a deep frown, “Then … Zhang Shi, you have seen our teacher’s clone in the Azure. Do you see any difference between him and our teacher?”

“This …”

Zhang Xuan replied, “Our teacher’s clone is no different from Kong Shi. I can’t see any flaws in it other than his personality.”

That was because even he had been fooled by Kong Shi back then.

If not for the fact that he wanted to kill the other party, he would have never noticed it.

“Humans are born with a tainted aura around them. They experience all kinds of pain and suffering, such as birth, aging, illness, and death. As a result, desires, greed, cunning, and many other emotions emerge in their minds, making them inescapable,” Ancient Sage Zi Yuan said.

Zhang Xuan nodded in agreement.

All humans would experience these emotions, and they would have their own desires as well.

No matter how formidable a Sage was, there was no exception to this.

Take him for example. He yearned for love and to be understood by others. He yearned to eat good food. He yearned to grow stronger. He yearned to have more cultivation resources.

These were all desires.

“The Severing of the Three Corpses is to sever these desires and evil thoughts in order to purify one’s body,” Ancient Sage Zi Yuan said.

Zhang Xuan’s body stiffened.

Was that for real?

If that was the case, this cultivation technique was really too overpowered!

“We have cultivated this cultivation technique before. I once killed my own Evil Corpse back on the Master Teacher Continent and sealed it at the interface between the Azure and the Master Teacher Continent,” Ancient Sage Zi Yuan said.

“So … that’s your Evil Corpse …” Zhang Xuan nodded in realization.

He had been wondering why he would suddenly see a living Evil Corpse at this very moment. In the end, it turned out that he had used the Severing of the Three Corpses.

The Evil Corpse created by the Severing of the Three Corpses was indistinguishable from the main body. It was as if the main body was already dead.

In fact, it could even fool the heavens!

“That’s right. Back on the Master Teacher Continent, my teacher severed his Good Corpse and forged it into the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn. In the Azure, he severed his Evil Corpse and sealed it in the Ethereal Hall. If I’m not mistaken, he used God Monarch Lingxi’s hand to sever his own Evil Corpse! ”

Ancient Sage Zi Yuan explained.

“Good Corpse, Evil Corpse, Self Corpse?”

“Only by severing good and evil, right and wrong, and severing oneself can one truly sever one’s obsession and surpass oneself!” Ancient Sage Zi Yuan explained. “Teacher, due to the fact that we’re born with a sliver of the heavens in us, every time we use it, a gray aura will be left in our bodies. This gray aura fuses into our bodies and souls, making it impossible to expel it. That’s why we found the Severing of the Three Corpses to remove this gray aura, thus allowing us to achieve true freedom!”

“I see …” Zhang Xuan was enlightened.

It was no wonder that Kong Shi was not afraid of this battle at all. At the last moment, he even gave up resisting. It seemed that he had already made up his mind.

Using Lozosy’s power to destroy one’s own body and soul was equivalent to giving up everything that had been in one’s body. The imprint of the Heavenly Axiom on one’s body would also be completely removed, and one would truly transcend!

As expected of Kong Shi, he had great courage, great perseverance, and great means!

Looking into his own body, he saw that the same grayish aura had appeared in his body. Furthermore, there was more and more of it, and it had seeped deep into his bones, making it impossible to expel.

Even though Zhang Xuan had comprehended a technique that surpassed the heavens, there was nothing he could do about it.

“In order to successfully execute the Severing of the Three Corpses, one has to hide it from the heavens. Thus, other than our teacher and a few of us, no one knows of this matter. Our teacher has never imparted the Severing of the Three Corpses to anyone else. Furthermore, the flaws in the Severing of the Three Corpses will be automatically repaired by the heavens, making it impossible to use it a second time. Thus, our teacher didn’t impart it to you! ”

Ancient Sage Zi Yuan explained, fearing that Zhang Xuan would overthink things.

Zhang Xuan nodded.

As a wielder of the heavens, he could understand this.

In order to sever one’s ties with the heavens, one had to first hide from the heavens. Only by doing so would one be able to prevent the heavens from noticing anything, or else it would be impossible for one to escape.

While Zhang Xuan also needed to sever his ties with the heavens, it was clear that he could not use this method anymore.

After all, the heavens would be on guard against it once. If he used it again, there was a good chance that his soul would dissipate, making it impossible for him to be resurrected.

“Our teacher once talked to us about you, Zhang Shi. He said that if you wish to transcend yourself like him, you’ll have to find a new path. While this path is different from his, both God Monarch Lingxi and him have already prepared a new path for you!”

Ancient Sage Zi Yuan said.

“Prepared?” Zhang Xuan was perplexed. Why didn’t he know about it?

“Our teacher didn’t tell us what God Monarch Lingxi’s trump card was, so we don’t know. However, I do know a little about it. Our teacher intentionally left the Deathless Monarch for you …”

“This …” Zhang Xuan was stunned.

If Little Chick had come to the Master Teacher Continent with the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, it should have been living in the ancient battlefield of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe instead of a mountain range on the Master Teacher Continent.

This was indeed Kong Shi’s doing.

After obtaining the Dongxu Gourd and nourishing Little Chick with his zhenqi, Little Chick had successfully acknowledged him as its master. After which, he had cultivated in the Lucid Lunar Lake and assimilated Little Chick’s Deathless Blood.

With the Deathless Blood in his veins, if he were to encounter any danger, he could very well become an indestructible existence like Little Chick. Perhaps, after countless years, he would be able to reincarnate once more.

But …

So what if he were to reincarnate?

There was a good chance that he would be able to form a new consciousness, just like Little Chick.

Putting everything aside, if his clone were to split his soul as well, wouldn’t that mean that he would be able to put on a show as well?

It was similar to the clones in his previous life. No matter how the genes were the same and everything else was the same, after the clones gained consciousness, they would still be two people!

The trump card that Kong Shi had left behind could only guarantee that he wouldn’t die, but there was no guarantee that he would be able to form a new consciousness.

Then … what was the trump card that Lozosy had left behind?

A thought surfaced in Zhang Xuan’s mind.

The two items that Luo Ruoxin had given him surfaced in his mind.

First, it was the disguise token that allowed him to disguise himself.

While the disguise token was important, it had nothing to do with breaking away from the heavens.

Could it be … that pendant? The second item surfaced in Zhang Xuan’s mind.

The pendant contained a droplet of blood, and it harnessed an inexplicable power.

As long as one’s consciousness fell into chaos, the pendant would be able to pull them back, preventing them from wandering aimlessly.

The first time was when he had felt the difference between the heavens and the Forsaken Continent, and the Heaven’s Path Divine Art had nearly caused his cultivation to go berserk. It was the pendant that had pulled him back.

The second time was when he had doubted the Pathos of Heaven earlier.

Both times, it had brought him back to his senses at critical moments. Could it be that the pendant could ensure that he wouldn’t fall into chaos if it was used in conjunction with his reincarnation?

Just that … the pendant was given to him by Lozosy. If she knew that this was the case, why would she still be so worried?

Was she afraid that she would have to face him in the War of the Heavens?
