The human race is born like a child, naive and ignorant about matters of love, unaware that the union of yin and yang for reproduction is the natural way. Ye Chuanze is currently troubled by this issue, pondering how to teach the human tribe about Zhou Gong's Rites. Although it is said that desire is inherent in every human, when it comes to actual practice, it seems no one knows where to start.
Ye Chuanze sits under a large tree within the Human Tribe, leaning against its sturdy trunk, with a blade of grass in his mouth, slightly tilting his head back, looking somewhat distressed. In his past life memories, he recalls Nüwa and Fuxi engaging in intimacy before the humans, teaching them about the rites of yin and yang. According to legends from his previous life, Nüwa and Fuxi were both siblings and spouses, possessing human bodies with serpent tails.
From Ye Chuanze's perspective, while Fuxi and Nüwa share a deep bond, it seems more like sibling affection without any romantic undertones. Regardless of their relationship, Ye Chuanze would never allow these two to openly express their love in front of the humans, even for the sake of enlightenment.
Feeling helpless, Ye Chuanze understands that enlightening the humans about desire is imperative. With a lifespan of around a hundred years, humans are at their prime reproductive age in their twenties or thirties; missing this opportunity could lead to a lack of successors and potentially the extinction of their race. If that were to happen, Ye Chuanze would truly be committing a grave sin, deserving punishment from the heavens—at that point, even Hongjun would not be able to save him.
Well then, time to get to work! Ye Chuanze tossed aside the grass he had been chewing on and stood up, brushing off the bits of grass clinging to his clothes. He caught two tigers in heat—a male and a female—in the forest. Returning to the human tribe's settlement, Ye Chuanze gathered everyone together in a circle around the two roaring tigers engaged in mating.
Ye Chuanze straightened his expression and suppressed his own discomfort as he spoke seriously: "Pay close attention to what these two tigers are doing... The union of yin and yang is natural law; only through this can offspring be conceived and life continue endlessly."
The faces of the humans present turned red; some felt embarrassed. The women glanced around nervously, avoiding looking directly at the mating tigers. The men's bronze-colored faces flushed with excitement as they grinned foolishly.
Seeing their awkwardness, Ye Chuanze urged them: "What are you embarrassed about? Look closely and learn; otherwise, when you enter your own rooms later, you won't know what to do." He felt awkward himself! Educating a group of burly men and young women about sex education left him feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.
At his words, the crowd managed to suppress their embarrassment and focused on the tigers. The men stared intently with serious expressions eager to learn while the women stole glances before quickly averting their eyes.
Observing the stark contrast between the reactions of men and women, Ye Chuanze couldn't help but think that indeed men were more straightforward.
Afterward, Ye Chuanze released the two tigers back into the forest. He said to them: "Thank you for your hard work today; consider it a good deed. I will impart a cultivation technique to you both; your future depends on your own efforts."
He infused a transformation cultivation technique into the tigers' consciousness. Suddenly, merit descended from above and landed on them. Ye Chuanze was momentarily stunned before shaking his head with a smile: "Truly your fortune!"
With this merit bestowed upon them, it was only a matter of time before these two tigers transformed. As long as they did not stray from their path or commit evil deeds in their cultivation journey, they would have smooth sailing with heavenly protection. This was well-deserved for enlightening humanity and ensuring their continued prosperity; such merit was significant.
Watching as the two tigers disappeared into the forest, Ye Chuanze turned to leave. He was not surprised that heaven did not grant him any merit; since becoming a teacher for humanity, he had done much for them without receiving any merit in return. He understood that this was because heaven had already compensated him in advance. When he promised to become a teacher for humanity, heaven had already granted him merit as an advance payment.
This meant that anything he did for humanity in the future was simply his responsibility and obligation; heaven did not need to bestow any further merit upon him. It also implied that if he stood idly by without teaching humanity, it would be considered neglect on his part—he would face divine punishment for it. Realizing this made Ye Chuanze break out in a cold sweat; indeed, heaven keeps meticulous accounts. Those who deceive heaven or try to take advantage will likely end up facing dire consequences.
In short: deceiving heaven may bring temporary satisfaction but ultimately leads to disaster.
From then on, Ye Chuanze became increasingly cautious in his actions, leaving no room for error or blame against himself.
*******
Since the last enlightenment given to the Human Tribe, Ye Chuanze had been stationed at the Cave and had not visited the Human Tribe for a long time. The reason was simple; the Human Tribe was currently overflowing with spring feelings, resembling beasts in heat, with couples of men and women everywhere, and an ambiguous atmosphere permeating the air. Ye Chuanze knew that soon the Human Tribe would welcome the arrival of a second generation of new life.
Ye Chuanze called for the Gatekeeper Boy and instructed, "From today onward, I will enter seclusion for cultivation. If anyone comes to visit, just tell them."
The Gatekeeper Boy agreed, and Ye Chuanze then settled down to cultivate in peace.
After reaching Quasi-Saint, Ye Chuanze's progress had been slow, and he had previously been unable to find the reason. Recently, he had gained some insights and discovered the cause. Ye Chuanze's true form was the Twelfth-Grade Annihilation Black Lotus, which was born from all the violent energies in the world. This was also why his cultivation surged after each tribulation; he absorbed a portion of the destructive energy contained within the heavenly tribulation, thereby enhancing his own cultivation.
However, Ye Chuanze practiced orthodox Taoist techniques. When he was still a Black Lotus, he received a cultivation technique from Hongjun that allowed him to transform, thus embarking on the path of Taoist cultivation. The conflict between his cultivation technique and his true form's attributes did not show any effects when his cultivation level was low in the early stages. However, as his cultivation reached a peak and he sought further advancement, drawbacks began to emerge.
Due to the constraints of his true form's attributes, Ye Chuanze found it increasingly difficult to progress after reaching Quasi-Saint, and he struggled to sever his Three Corpses. Recently, he had accumulated a significant amount of Merit, which not only eliminated his Karma but also compensated for the deficiencies of his true form's attributes, allowing his cultivation to rise. Additionally, influenced by the pure and sincere atmosphere of the Human Tribe due to his good deeds among them, his state of mind reached an unprecedented level of tranquility. Consequently, his cultivation grew in response, leading him to enter seclusion for further practice.
What is good and what is evil? Great villains and those with kind hearts coexist. Good deeds yield good results; evil deeds bring about evil consequences; ultimately, good and evil will be rewarded accordingly. The cycle of heavenly principles serves to distinguish right from wrong; good has its cause and effect!
Suddenly, while meditating with closed eyes during his seclusion, Ye Chuanze opened his eyes. Golden light radiated from him as three flowers appeared atop his head; his gaze was calm like a clear spring, undisturbed by waves.
"I have been lost in my obsessions! It is time for enlightenment!"
Ye Chuanze held the Qian Kun Ding and lightly called out, "Evil Corpse Slash!"
Golden light surged forth; moments later, as it dissipated, a man dressed in black with long black hair appeared in the seclusion chamber—he looked exactly like Ye Chuanze. It turned out that Ye Chuanze had broken through his illusions and used the Merit treasure Qian Kun Ding to sever his Evil Corpse.
Ye Chuanze looked up at his Evil Corpse; although it bore an identical appearance to him without any differences, its aura was entirely different. This Evil Corpse had sharp features exuding an indescribable sinister air; even the Black Lotus between its brows appeared enchanting and seductive, with elongated eyebrows that hinted at allure.
Clearly a man yet unexpectedly alluring, Ye Chuanze couldn't help but frown; this Evil Corpse represented another side of him that he truly did not want to acknowledge.
"Master, do you not like me?" The Evil Corpse smiled at Ye Chuanze with a teasing expression. "That won't do; I am you. If you don't like me, it means you despise yourself."
"You think too much; even if I don't like you, I wouldn't despise myself," Ye Chuanze replied calmly as he looked at him.
"It seems you really don't like me," said the Evil Corpse.
Ye Chuanze blinked and said, "If only you looked a bit more masculine, then I might like you."
"This is not something I can decide. How I look is all up to you, my master. I am your Evil Corpse, another side of you," the Evil Corpse said, its expression appearing somewhat wronged and innocent.
"Well... that seems to make some sense," Ye Chuanze pondered for a moment and said, "For now, this is the only way. You hide in the Qian Kun Ding and don't come out. Wait for me to eliminate the Three Corpses. Once the Three Corpses are unified, I can wash away my dark history!" By the end, Ye Chuanze's tone became excited; this was indeed a good idea! He couldn't help but look forward to what his Good Corpse would look like.
"..." Evil Corpse.
The Evil Corpse curled its lips into a cold, malicious smile and sarcastically said, "Master, by the time you eliminate the Three Corpses, who knows what year it will be? You might as well try to accept me!"
"..." Ye Chuanze.
Looking at the mocking smile on its face, Ye Chuanze twitched his mouth; he was indeed too naive. The Evil Corpse lived up to its name; all temptations were mere illusions. Its cold elegance and sharp tongue filled with malice were the true essence of the Evil Corpse. All of Ye Chuanze's negative thoughts and bad traits were concentrated in the Evil Corpse.
"Fine... you still go into the Qian Kun Ding for confinement! You'll never come out in this lifetime!" Ye Chuanze stored the Evil Corpse in the Qian Kun Ding and then tossed the Qian Kun Ding into the Mustard Seed Space.
As the Evil Corpse was locked inside the Qian Kun Ding, it left behind one last remark, "Hehe... are you angry now?"
The Primordial world was truly a magical place; eliminating the Three Corpses was simply incredible. He never expected that in his lifetime he could see another side of himself. Ye Chuanze began to feel a bit of anticipation about eliminating the Three Corpses; he was curious about what his Good Corpse and obsessions would look like.
Ye Chuanze couldn't help but think of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who taught the Primordial Immortals how to eliminate the Three Corpses. What was it like when Hongjun eliminated his Three Corpses? What would his Good Corpse, Evil Corpse, and obsessions look like? Ye Chuanze was exceptionally curious about Hongjun's Evil Corpse. Hongjun had always been aloof and indifferent; such a person made one feel noble and untouchable. No one could imagine that he also had an evil side. It was precisely because of this that Ye Chuanze was immensely curious about what Hongjun's Evil Corpse looked like.
Ye Chuanze decided to visit the Purple Cloud Palace to satisfy his curiosity.
