Back then, the God Lord of Ten Directions had been an unprecedented genius.
He had become a Dao True Saint in a hundred years, a Dao Lord in a thousand years, and a Dao Saint in a hundred thousand years.
He had swept through the Human Race, the Yao Race, and even the world of Other Races. He rarely had a match in the same realm.
Such talent, such speed of improvement, and such formidable strength truly made him an unprecedented genius.
"Back then, I lived a carefree and carefree life, doing as I pleased. I dared to love and hate, sweeping through the world and sweeping through all. Even if the path ahead of me was filled with thorns, I would cut them down with my sword. Anyone who stood in my way would be killed! Anyone who disturbed my heart would die! "
The God Lord of Ten Directions' calm voice was suffused with a vast and domineering aura.
When Su Fang thought of the God Lord of Ten Directions sweeping through the world in an invincible manner, he couldn't help but feel his blood boil.
"Not only did I possess transcendent talent, but I also possessed hot-bloodedness and boundless courage.
"In the world of Other Races, I witnessed the strength of the Other Races and thought of the insignificance of the Human Race. Thus, I tried in vain to rely on my own strength to save the Human Race, to lead the Human Race to stand proudly among the myriad races of the Primal Chaos!
"However, I was wrong. I was terribly wrong!"
At this point, the God Lord of Ten Directions let out a long sigh, a look of regret on his face.
Su Fang could only listen, not daring to interrupt.
"I had the talent to become an Immortal, but I did not have the intelligence to match my talent. Most importantly, I did not understand the human heart … Haha, back then, I actually wanted to gather the resources and strength of the entire Human Race to help me become an Immortal. I was truly naive!
"I admit that I did this for my own selfish reasons. I wanted to borrow the strength of the entire Human Race to prove my Dao and help me reach the peak of the Great Dao. But I didn't do it entirely for myself. My ultimate goal was not only to become an Immortal, but also to protect the Human Race, to lead the Human Race to stand proudly in the Primal Chaos so that no Other Race would dare to bully us. I also wanted to expand the territory of the Human Race so that the Human Race could rise among the myriad races!
"But in the end, I failed miserably, defeated by my own naivety!"
Su Fang inwardly sighed.
The God Lord of Ten Directions was not wrong. His thoughts were truly too naive.
In the world of cultivators, it was nothing more than being eaten by others and being eaten by others. If one did not look out for themselves, the heavens and earth would destroy them. How many of them would think for the future of the entire human race?
Even if there were some experts with foresight, it would be difficult to change people's minds.
Many of the upper echelons of the Human Race treated Divine Lord Ten Directions as a madman. Perhaps they were well aware that Divine Lord Ten Directions had the potential to become an Immortal and that he was wholeheartedly serving the Human Race.
However, which one of those warriors wasn't selfish and greedy? Which one of them didn't want to reach the peak? Why would they agree to his conditions and use the power of the entire human race to help him become undying?
God Lord Ten Directions suddenly looked at Su Fang and sighed. "I'm not as good as you in this aspect."
Su Fang was stunned.
Divine Lord of Ten Directions continued, "I saw the scene of you suppressing the human cultivators in the world of consciousness outside the Thunder Pool Palace. You are brave and resourceful. You kill decisively, and you are cruel and merciless. Your talent is not even one-tenth of what I was back then. However, in terms of intelligence and scheming, I'm not even one-hundredth of what you are. "
Su Fang smiled embarrassedly and said, "Senior, you're just confident in your strength and don't care about scheming and scheming. Junior, on the other hand, is not strong enough, so I can only use my brain. "
"You are indeed smart. I'm afraid you're the only one in the entire Human Race who understands me. How can I not understand people's minds? I just don't care about them. "Divine Lord of Ten Directions smiled.
Su Fang asked, "Senior, who is the Divine Lord of Ten Directions that was killed in your remnant memories? Who is the one who led the foreign race army to attack the Human Race? Are there three Divine Lords of Ten Directions? "
"He led the foreign race army to attack the Human Race? I didn't expect him to really do it … The divination of Tian Su Daozu in the Heaven's Fate Platform was indeed correct. The Human Race will be destroyed by my hands in the end … "
Divine Lord of Ten Directions closed his eyes and showed a pained expression.
After a long time …
Divine Lord of Ten Directions sighed. He stared at Su Fang and asked, "You're dead? You've become a Saint and formed three fruits. Don't tell me you still don't understand why there are three completely different Divine Lords of Ten Directions? "
Su Fang pondered for a while. Then, he realized. "Bearing fruits, good fruits, evil fruits … That senior who was killed by the human experts was your embodiment of bearing fruits. The one who led the foreign race army to attack the Human Race was your embodiment of evil fruits. As for you, senior … you are the embodiment of good fruits!"
Divine Lord of Ten Directions nodded and said, "You can say that … This is related to the cultivation of the Jiuxuan's Everlasting Scripture. I might as well tell you now so that you won't have to take any detours in the future."
Then, Divine Lord of Ten Directions told Su Fang everything.
Su Fang pricked up his ears, afraid that he would miss a word.
"The Jiuxuan's Everlasting Scripture is actually a heaven-bestowed scripture that I obtained after comprehending the Heavenly Dao's strange phenomenon during a fortuitous encounter when I was wandering the Chaos Outer Realm. When cultivated to the extreme, one can grasp the true essence of the Great Dao and coexist with the Heavenly Dao. It's also because I have the Jiuxuan's Everlasting Scripture that I have the confidence to become immortal. "
"I comprehended from the Jiuxuan's Everlasting Scripture that all life forms have to go through the process of birth, aging, and death. It's the same for cultivators and foreign race cultivators. Only by transcending all the restrictions and becoming the Heavenly Dao can one live eternally like the Heavenly Dao. "
What Divine Lord of Ten Directions said was the most profound truth of cultivation. It was almost the same as what the Longevity Lamp said.
"Cultivating the Laws of the Great Dao is to grasp the laws and principles of the Heavenly Dao. Cultivating the physical body is to transform one's life and surpass the limits of life. When cultivating the Jiuxuan's Everlasting Scripture to the Dao Saint Realm, the most important thing is not to cultivate the Laws of the Great Dao or the physical body, but … to cultivate the heart. In other words, you have to sever yourself and forget your emotions! "
Su Fang was surprised. "Cultivate the heart and forget your emotions?"
"It's ultimately difficult for cultivators to defy the heavens. Only by following the Heavenly Dao and becoming as emotionless as the Heavenly Dao can one transcend everything and become the Heavenly Dao and exist with it."
Su Fang asked in confusion, "Could it be that at the end of cultivation, everything will become cold and emotionless? Then what's the point of becoming immortal?"
"The emotionless Heavenly Dao doesn't mean that you have to give up everything and become cold and emotionless. Instead, it means that you have to transcend all emotions and desires and not be shackled by them. You won't be controlled by emotions and desires. You may seem emotionless, but you're actually very emotional!"
Su Fang seemed to understand a little.
He seemed to understand everything. However, when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't grasp anything. He was still confused.
"If you want to sever yourself and become immortal, your current realm isn't enough. It's meaningless to think so much." Divine Lord of Ten Directions shook his head and smiled.
Su Fang continued to ask, "Then how can I sever myself and forget my emotions in the Dao Saint Realm?"
"The Dao Saint Realm is the first step to sever oneself and forget your emotions. This step doesn't require you to forget your emotions. Instead, you have to think of every possible way to reveal your true self."
"All humans have seven emotions and six desires. They have three completely different selves: obsession, good, and evil. However, they are hidden very deeply and control cultivators at all times. It's difficult to detect them. If you want to sever oneself and forget your emotions, you have to cultivate all your emotions and desires to the extreme before you can sever them. "
"Did you just undergo Nirvana? Becoming a Saint means condensing the three fruits of obsession, good, and evil. It's to reveal your three different selves. "
"Nirvana? After becoming a Saint and condensing the three fruits, you have to continuously nurture the three fruits and cultivate them into three bodies. I call them the Three Corpses, which are the Obsession Corpse, Good Corpse, and Evil Corpse. "
Nurture the three fruits?
Cultivate the Obsession Corpse, Good Corpse, and Evil Corpse?
Whether it was obsession, good, or evil, they weren't the true self. They were fake selves controlled by emotions and desires.
When a cultivator's consciousness was controlled by obsession, good, or evil thoughts, they would do things that went against their conscience. They were no different from walking corpses.
The Divine Lord of Ten Directions called the Three Corpses. It was very appropriate.
Only now did Su Fang vaguely understand why he couldn't improve after becoming a Dao Saint.
It turned out that his cultivation as a Dao Saint required him to cultivate the Three Corpses in addition to his realm and cultivation.
"Only by cultivating the Obsession, Good, and Evil Corpses can one ascend to the Daozu. As for the Daozu, one has to sever the Three Corpses and sever all their mortal roots to reach the realm of emotionlessness and emotion. Only then can one reach the peak of the Great Dao! "
This was a rare opportunity. Su Fang continued to ask, "How do you nurture the three fruits and cultivate the Three Corpses?"
"The Obsession Corpse requires you to continuously nurture and nourish it with your obsession … What you want the most and what you're most obsessed with will be the nutrients for your cultivation."
"Cultivating the Good Corpse requires good thoughts. Cultivating the Evil Corpse requires you to nurture evil thoughts. Using slaughter, destruction, evil, and cruelty as nutrients."
"Sigh … Although I cultivated the Three Corpses back then and obtained the Dao Immortal Realm and was about to enter the Daozu realm, an accident happened at the crucial step."
At this point, the Divine Lord of Ten Directions let out a long sigh. His expression was gloomy.
Su Fang asked, "Senior, you want to become eternal and reach the peak of the Great Dao. This is your obsession, and you use it to cultivate the Obsession Corpse. Senior protects the human race in order to cultivate the Good Corpse. Senior slaughters wantonly in order to cultivate the Evil Corpse. "
"That's the general idea. However, when it comes to true cultivation, it's extremely dangerous. Whether it's the Obsession Corpse, the Good Corpse, or the Evil Corpse, once they lose their sense of self and become dominated by the Three Corpses, they'll sink into eternal oblivion."
"Take the Evil Corpse for example. Once dominated by the Evil Corpse, it'll be difficult for you to free yourself from the endless evil and slaughter. Not only will it be difficult for you to improve, but you'll also become a monster that only knows how to kill. You must be careful about this! "
The Divine Lord of Ten Directions warned Su Fang carefully.
Then, he glanced at Su Fang and smiled awkwardly. "You're about to cultivate the Eternal Dao Heart. Your Dao Heart and willpower are incomparably strong. Naturally, you don't have to worry about the Evil Corpse controlling you. I was worrying too much."
Then, he let out a long sigh. "It's precisely because I was controlled by the Evil Corpse that I ended up in this state …"
"Could it be that there's a problem with Senior's cultivation?"
"It's not that there's a problem with my cultivation. It's because back then, the Evil Corpse was killing everywhere. In addition, some human experts coveted a peerless treasure in my possession. As a result, I was hunted down by the human experts … Haha, the human experts really thought highly of me. They actually sent more than a dozen Daozu to hunt me down."
"Back then, I was only a peak Dao Saint expert. Although I had the strength to fight against the Daozu, how could I fight against the entire human race's experts? With no other choice, I could only split into three. I separated the Obsession Corpse, the Good Corpse, and the Evil Corpse. In other words, I had three Divine Lords of Ten Directions. "
