"The Nine Tribulations of the Heavenly Way are the most terrible tribulations in the world. They may be the Heavenly Punishment or the Great Tribulation of the Human Heart. Only by passing the Nine Tribulations of the Heavenly Way can one transcend the Heavenly Way and become the Saint of all beings."
"It's a pity that I almost died under the first tribulation. I had no choice but to switch to the Three Corpse Slaying Technique. Today, I saw that you are also using strength to prove your Dao, so I came out to meet you." Sun Wukong sighed softly.
"The Nine Tribulations of the Heavenly Way?"
Hearing Goku's words, Ye Xuan murmured. He suddenly looked up at the sky, and his eyes gradually became gloomy, as if he understood something at this moment.
"Yes, the Way of Proving Through Strength is different from the Three Corpses Technique and the Way of Virtue. The Way of Proving Through Strength is about breaking all laws with one force, breaking through the shackles of the world and transcending the Heavenly Way. Only the strongest force is the Way of Eternity."
Goku's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes shone with excitement. However, this kind of light quickly dissipated, and his whole person became silent.
"Unfortunately, I almost died under the first tribulation. If I didn't destroy the Way of Proving Through Strength, my soul would have been scattered between the world." Goku laughed at himself.
"Old Hongjun?"
Ye Xuan clenched his fists, and his eyes were extremely gloomy. Today, after hearing Goku's explanation, he suddenly realized that the Way of Heart that Dao Ancestor Hongjun taught him was simply to bewitch him into the Way of Proving Through Strength.
Stupid, stupid, extremely stupid!
Ye Xuan's face was ferocious, and he was roaring furiously in his heart. He had never doubted Dao Ancestor Hongjun's words, and always thought that Dao Ancestor Hongjun was showing him the way to Sage-to-be.
However, after chatting with Sun Wukong today, Ye Xuan suddenly realized that Dao Ancestor Hong Jun wasn't guiding him on the right path at all. Instead, he wanted to destroy his path of proving the Dao through strength.
What was the Way of Proving Through Strength?
Strength could destroy all techniques, and the heavens and the earth could be obliterated wherever one's heart desired. Trampling the Heaven Dao beneath one's feet and transcending the three dimensions to become a saint amongst saints and become invincible in the myriad of worlds. This was the foundation of attaining the Dao with strength.
As long as the heart is not extinguished, all living things will exist forever. As long as the true spirit is born, one can become a Quasi-Saint. All of this is simply a joke.
Ye Xuan's heart had never changed. He walked the path of proving his Dao through strength, and he only believed in strength. What did it have to do with the soul?
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun's intentions were murderous. He was simply trying to bewitch Ye Xuan and lead him off the path of using strength to attain the Dao. He was simply trying to destroy Ye Xuan.
"Old man Hongjun!"
Ye Xuan clenched his fists tightly as his eyes turned crimson red. A feeling of shame and indignation grew in the bottom of his heart. The extreme humiliation caused Ye Xuan's face to swell to the extreme.
He had been fooled by Dao Ancestor Hong Jun, and he had been fooled by Dao Ancestor Hong Jun for more than 10,000 years!
In fact, Ye Xuan could not be blamed for being bewitched by Dao Ancestor Hong Jun. If it were anyone else in Ye Xuan's position, they would definitely believe Dao Ancestor Hong Jun without a doubt.
Who was Dao Ancestor Hong Jun?
He was as famous as the Great God Pangu. He was the first Saint since the creation of the world. He even used his body to complement the Heaven Dao. He was the strongest person in the world, and even the Three Pure Ones had to respect him as their teacher.
Who would have thought that such a supreme figure would actually appear in person to deceive Ye Xuan?
If it were not for the conversation with Sun Wukong today, Ye Xuan was very sure that he would still be immersed in Dao Ancestor Hong Jun's bewitchment even after 300,000 years or three million years, let alone the 30,000-year deadline he had set for himself.
Only power was eternal, and the rest were illusions. This principle was very simple and easy to understand. Ye Xuan had always understood it.
However, the simpler the principle, the more complicated it was. Ye Xuan's thoughts were too heavy, and because of Dao Ancestor Hong Jun's bewitchment, he had forgotten this most simple principle.
It was only today that he woke up from Sun Wukong's words. However, he had already wasted 10,000 years. The humiliation that Dao Ancestor Hong Jun had given him made Ye Xuan want to kill his way to the Nine Heavens and turn Dao Ancestor Hong Jun into ashes.
"Hongjun?"
"Haha."
Sun Wukong was stunned at first, then he looked up at the sky and said with a contemptuous smile, "Hongjun is the Heaven Dao, and the Heaven Dao is Hongjun. Don't you understand this principle?"
As Sun Wukong's words fell, Ye Xuan clenched his fists. His face was full of humiliation. Sun Wukong's words were like steel needles that kept stabbing into his heart. Not only did he feel an indescribable pain, but his heart was also filled with great shame and anger.
Humiliation, a great humiliation!
Ye Xuan had never suffered such a great humiliation since he started cultivating. This was the greatest humiliation he had ever suffered in his life. However, he had to endure this humiliation, because he could not wash away this humiliation yet.
"Tell me, how can I become a Sage-to-be?"
Suddenly, Ye Xuan's eyes darkened. He stared at Sun Wukong. A touch of tyrannical bloodlust streaked across his eyes, and his voice was extremely cold.
"Power, endless power. As long as you continue to accumulate your cultivation, when the quantitative change reaches a qualitative change, your Primordial Spirit will become an indestructible True Spirit, and you will become a Half-step to Sage-to-be."
"Half-step to Sage-to-be?" Ye Xuan frowned and looked at Sun Wukong in confusion.
Sensing Ye Xuan's puzzled gaze, Sun Wukong nodded slowly. There was a touch of excitement in his eyes as he continued, "Do you know why I almost died under the first tribulation?"
Without waiting for Ye Xuan to ask, Sun Wukong seemed to have sunk into a distant memory. He said in a low voice, "Physical body. My physical body was too weak. It could not merge with the indestructible True Spirit, and my heart was too big …"
As Sun Wukong slowly recounted the events of the past, Ye Xuan listened quietly. However, his expression gradually turned serious until he became silent.
According to Sun Wukong's words, Ye Xuan finally knew where his future path was. However, the more he understood the path to becoming a Sage-to-be through strength, the more a terrifying pressure appeared on his mind.
If Ye Xuan wanted to become a Sage-to-be, it was very simple. He just needed to absorb endless power and transform his indestructible Primordial Spirit into an indestructible True Spirit. Then, he could directly enter the ranks of the Sage-to-be.
Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Ye Xuan had already entered the ranks of the Sage-to-be. However, to Ye Xuan who cultivated the Dao through strength, he was only a Half-step to Sage-to-be.
Because Ye Xuan cultivated the Dao through strength, it was not enough to transform his indestructible Primordial Spirit into an indestructible True Spirit. He also needed to cultivate the Daluo Immortal Body to great success. Only when his spirit and body became one could he truly enter the ranks of the Sage-to-be. Moreover, he would be the first Sage-to-be in the world to use strength to prove his Dao.
In the past, Sun Wukong had only condensed the Indestructible True Spirit, but his physical body still had a great flaw. When he encountered the Nine Tribulations of the Heavenly Dao, just the first tribulation almost caused his soul to scatter and die. If he had not dispersed the method of using strength to prove his Dao and switched to the Art of Severing Three Corpses, he would have died long ago and disappeared from the world.
