Dan Chanyu carved out an area in the world of Thousand Miles River and Mountain. She drew chaos qi from the two chaotic beings - Nogot (no brain) and Bujixi (not happy), and then removed Cuqi's two legs and Taoxiexie's one horn, also introducing their malevolent qi to this area.
She had personally seen the Pan Gu's divine axe, and had even come into contact with the Taiji diagram, Pan Gu's banner, and the Chaos Bell later on. Now, she attempted to create heaven and earth within the world of the diagram.
The opening of the sky and earth by Pan Gu was not without skill, but full of power.
This step was not difficult for her. The semi-chaos world she had carved out was very small.
She then tried to recreate the scene of the earliest birth of the three chaotic deities - dragon, phoenix and qilin - using chaos qi and malevolent qi. This was extremely difficult. Without exception, every time she reached the moment just before life was about to be born, it collapsed.
Her understanding of the way of creation and transformation was still not profound, and this was the field in which Nuwa was most skilled.
Returning to her own timeline, she prepared to have a good chat with Nuwa.
She kept failing, kept summarizing the experience, and then tried again.
She named her method "One thought transforming into three tribes."
Dragon intelligence, phoenix bravery, and tiger-deer tenacity are the best assists for her in cutting her own corpse.
The first five hundred years passed quickly, and Hou Tian gently struck the bell beside him. The sound of the bell helped some of the confused powers regain their senses.
The bell sound means the first chapter of Hongjun's second teaching is over. It's best if you understand it all. If not? Even the Dao Ancestor won't repeat it for you. Lao Deng will continue with the content of the second chapter. By the end, you'll have accumulated too much confusion, and then you'll completely not understand at all.
Sanqing, Nuwa, and Jieyin are all of high insight and deep accumulation. Even if they were first learning the method of cutting three corpses, they could still keep up with Hongjun's progress at that time. Deng Chanyu is like a good student who has pre-studied the textbooks at home, so she can also keep up with the pace.
The remaining high-powered beings were in a tough situation.
Di Jiang seemed to be sitting up straight, but in these five hundred years, he had slept for nearly four hundred years. He had no understanding at all, and could not grasp the true meaning. What are you talking about, this profound and esoteric stuff that is both Dao and not Dao?
Houdu initially tried to persuade her brother, but she couldn't hold out either. For the Zhu Wang, the "Dao" and "Li" of Xuanmen were too obscure and difficult to understand. As the bloodline of Pan Gu, proving Dao through strength was the foundation of Pan Gu. The Pan Gu bloodline naturally rejected others' Dao, which included Hongjun as well.
Since there was no Yuan Shen (original spirit), and the bloodline was strongly resistant, understanding was sheer impossibility.
Houdu relied on her last bit of stubbornness to keep herself from falling asleep, and anything else was out of her control.
Di Jiang, let him sleep if he wants to!
The first five thousand years of teaching the method of cutting three corpses went smoothly, at least for Deng Chanyu, who could completely understand it. Her practice of One thought transforming into three tribes had also yielded some results. She had previously demonstrated it to Hongjun during an opportunity to ask questions, and Hongjun's evaluation was "good enough."
The next five thousand years began to teach the integration of the three corpses.
By this stage, the six people on the lotus throne also started to become drowsy.
Even though Deng Chanyu had pre-studied it at home, she was now completely lost in the fog.
Nuwa herself was not very clear about this step. She explained it vaguely to her disciples. Listening to Hongjun's original version at this time could not say there were no gains, but they were far less clear than when cutting three corpses earlier.
She only understood over two-fifths, less than three-fifths of the content.
She sent Jieyin a questioning glance, implying, "Brother, do you understand?"
Jieyin shook his head with a bitter expression, "I didn't understand a thing!"
Deng Chanyu looked over Jieyin and at Nuwa on the left.
At this moment, Nuwa was yawning, clearly sleepy. The lazy lifestyle of the past two days had already exposed a bit. Upon sensing someone's gaze on her, she straightened her face and resumed her aloof expression.
Deng Chanyu wanted to laugh a little. We're not strangers, right? Why are you pretending like that? But at this time, she was playing the role of Zhulitai. She couldn't reveal Nuwa's true identity.
She bowed on her seat, hands clasped in prayer, lips moving slightly. From her mouth shape, it seemed she was asking for the true meaning of the previous sutra. She expressed that she had a little bit of confusion and wanted to hear Nuwa's opinion.
Nuwa responded coldly, and it took ten breaths of time before she sent back a message, "I didn't understand it either!"
Deng Chanyu abandoned the idea of asking the Trinity. If Nuwa didn't understand, it's likely that everyone else wasn't much better off!
Five hundred years later, Hongjun paused and it was time for answering questions and resolving doubts again. But this time, the Peony Pavilion was quiet, and the six people sitting on the lotus throne didn't make a sound. There were too many questions to ask, so many questions in their heads that they didn't know where to start.
Deng Chanyu also glanced at Hou Tian and Yaochi. Both of them were frowning and deep in thought, clearly bewildered.
Hongjun didn't care about this. You don't ask, it's your own responsibility. I'll continue when the time comes.
Deng Chanyu repeatedly contemplated and decided to slightly interrupt the progress of the Dao Ancestor. Once the Stale Cadaver water has formed, it will naturally be able to be cut out at the right time. She has also made some progress on Self-stump. The most important and difficult step is the integration of the three corpses, from which it is evident that Hongjun spent five thousand years teaching how to cut three corpses, and another five thousand years teaching how to integrate the three corpses, indicating the importance and difficulty of this step.
Bringing a bunch of questions to listen to the teachings would only lead to more and more questions.
For the sake of her own path, she is willing to take a little risk.
"Master, the disciple has many questions in the stage of integrating three corpses, but I don't know where to start. Master is kind, can you give us some time to verify what we have learned in our hearts? Let us, the disciples, discuss among ourselves?"
Jieyin thought that his junior was imitating Deng sister so well, capturing her impetuousness perfectly. He firmly supported his junior, got off the lotus seat, and bowed in front of Hongjun: "Master is compassionate. The disciple also didn't understand. Please give us some time to verify our path."
Many things are afraid that no one will step forward. As long as someone takes the lead, the one behind can at least add a little momentum. The courage to do so is usually present.
The Trinity actually didn't understand the key of integrating the three corpses either. They had originally planned to listen to the content below with their questions in mind.
The straightforwardness of "Zhunti" gave them an opportunity.
Taiqing was the first to speak: "Disciple is ashamed. The Dao taught by the teacher is too profound. Please kindly pause the process of teaching and allow us, these dull-witted disciples, to have time to understand the true meaning of integrating the three corpses."
Nuwa and Tongtian also bowed in unison.
Yuan Shi Tianzun wanted to say that he understood, but the truth was he didn't. Now he followed the crowd and bowed together.
Hongjun's calm face showed a slight change of expression, which he hadn't expected. Couldn't they understand? It shouldn't be like that. He explained it so detail-richly. How could they not understand? This section shouldn't be that difficult, right?
