Chapter 14: Going against the will of heaven
After reading the insights of the earth immortal Linlang after thousands of years of cultivation, Chen Jiu couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
The path to becoming an immortal is really too difficult.
The earthly immortal Linlang has practiced hard for thousands of years but still cannot become a god. How difficult is it to attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven!
He couldn't help but ask, "Old Ding, have you ever seen anyone cultivate to become a god? Have you ever seen anyone attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven?"
Honghuang Shending murmured, "Of course I have seen all of these, but I have seen a few who have cultivated to become gods, and I have only been lucky enough to see one who has achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven."
The path to becoming an immortal is indeed as difficult as ascending to heaven.
The Honghuang Divine Cauldron is a divine artifact from the ancient times that has been around for who knows how many tens of thousands of years. He has only seen a few people who have cultivated to become gods, which means that it may not be possible to see one who has cultivated to become a god in tens of thousands of years!
As for attaining enlightenment and ascending to heaven, the Primordial Divine Cauldron has only seen it once, so how many tens of thousands of years has that been?
Chen Jiu's mood became heavier. He murmured, "Didn't you say that you have imprisoned at least 8,000 gods and immortals? Why have you only seen a few who have cultivated to become gods and achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven once?"
Honghuang Shending sighed, "Do you think it's so easy to cultivate and become a god? To become a god, one must go through heavenly tribulations, and the heavenly tribulations of attaining the Tao and ascending to heaven are even more terrifying than words can describe.
Therefore, in the ancient wars among the gods, there were great formations of ten thousand immortals, but there were not many real gods. I mainly imprisoned immortals, and there were only a few gods."
Heavenly calamity?
Chen Jiu's hair stood on end when he heard these two words. It seemed as if he had experienced a horrific calamity in his childhood nightmare!
He couldn't help but ask, "Old Ding, what is the heavenly tribulation and why does it exist? Do you know?"
The Great God Cauldron continued to murmur, "The path of cultivating immortals is to go against the will of heaven. Heaven does not want anyone to become a god, let alone to ascend to heaven, so it will naturally send down a heavenly calamity. As for what a heavenly calamity is, to put it bluntly, it is to take your life!"
Going against the will of heaven?
Chen Jiu was puzzled and asked, "Why doesn't God want someone to become a god, or to ascend to heaven?"
Honghuang Shending said helplessly: "Your memory is so bad, didn't I tell you, according to ancient rumors, this world is the natal world cultivated by a certain existence beyond God.
Do you think that this being beyond God can enable people to cultivate and become gods, and then achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven?
The spiritual energy required to cultivate into a god is so terrifying that you cannot imagine it. When you achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven, you will leave this world with this terrifying spiritual energy.
If you were to ascend to heaven, would you be willing to let others take away all your spiritual energy?"
Well, it's just a rumor.
Chen Jiu was still a little puzzled and said: "If according to the ancient rumors, this world is the natal world cultivated by a certain existence beyond God, then this existence beyond God can completely take over the immortal palaces and kingdoms of all the gods!
This should be easy for a being beyond God, right?"
Unexpectedly, Honghuang Shending slowly shook his head and said, "No, even an existence beyond the gods cannot easily take over the immortals' immortal palaces and kingdoms."
ah?
Chen Jiu couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
Honghuang Shending said awkwardly: "I also heard this from some ancient gods. I don't know the specific reason."
You don’t know!
Chen Jiu said disappointedly: "Then what do you know?"
I!
Do you really think I know nothing?
Honghuang Shending thought for a while, then said seriously: "Ajiu, although I don't know why the heavens can't easily take away the immortals' immortal palaces and kingdoms, I have heard that an ancient great god taught his disciples.
That ancient god said, Tao gave birth to one, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and three gave birth to all things. All things carry the yin and embrace the yang, and the collision of qi makes them harmonious.
Whoever understands this sentence can cultivate and become a god."
ah!
Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. All things carry the yin and embrace the yang, and the collision of qi makes them harmonious?
Chen Jiu muttered to himself several times, his face becoming more and more lost.
Because he doesn't understand what this means at all!
Honghuang Shending said seriously again: "All the disciples don't understand what this sentence means, and the ancient god said it again.
One is a point and also a world. Yin and Yang are chaos. Chaos harmonizes into qi, and qi turns into chaos. When chaos first begins, a world begins.
Whoever understands this sentence will have the hope of becoming a god."
Chen Jiu was stunned when he heard this. He seemed to understand a little bit of this sentence.
He was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help asking: "Does 'one world' mean the underworld or the world of the living?"
Honghuang Shending said without hesitation: "A disciple has asked this question before, and the ancient god answered that this world does not have only one realm. The underworld or the world of the living are separate realms, and the immortal palace or the kingdom of God are also separate realms."
It is indeed related to time and space, multi-dimensional space!
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu couldn't help but said with great joy: "I understand. No wonder even beings beyond the gods can't easily take over the immortals' palaces and kingdoms."
you understood?
Honghuang Shending couldn't help but ask curiously: "What do you understand? Why can't beings beyond God easily take over the immortals' immortal palaces and kingdoms?"
Chen Jiu shook his head slightly and said, "It's not impossible, but it's troublesome, quite troublesome. I can't explain this to you clearly, so you should tell me how to go against the will of heaven and cultivate to become a god. Is there any ancient god who taught his disciples this?"
You're a stingy person.
The Great God Cauldron said angrily: "If you don't tell me, I won't tell you either."
Don't be like this!
Chen Jiu quickly explained: "It's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I really can't explain it. One is a point, and it's also a world. This world does not have only one world. Do you understand what this means?
If you understand, you will understand even if I don’t explain. If you don’t understand, I can’t explain it clearly.”
Well, forget it. I don’t need to practice anyway.
Honghuang Shending thought again, “How to go against the will of heaven? Of course, an ancient great god has taught his disciples how to do it. That ancient great god has said it before.
Cultivating immortals is going against the will of heaven, while refining qi to cultivate immortals is to seize the fortune of heaven and earth, absorb the spiritual energy of this world and cultivate to become a god.
This is actually a tricky method. The foundation is too poor, so it is very difficult to achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven after becoming a god through refining Qi and cultivating immortals.
If you want to attain enlightenment and ascend, you must first understand the truth.
Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. All things carry the yin and embrace the yang, and the collision of qi makes them harmonious.
This sentence is the way to become a god, and also the way to ascend to heaven. Only when you fully understand it can you hope to achieve the truth and ascend to heaven ."
Oh my god, this sentence again.
Chen Jiu frowned and said, "I don't understand this sentence either. Is there any other way?"
Honghuang Shending sighed slightly and said, "I'm not a god, so how can I know other methods? However, a great god once said that there is a problem with the method of opening the mind."
ah!
Is there something wrong with the method of opening up the mind?
He was still counting on this method!
Chen Jiu couldn't help but ask: "Why?"
Honghuang Shending murmured, "That great god said that cultivating immortals is to go against the will of heaven and seize the fortune of heaven and earth.
The method of opening one's orifices is not to go against the will of heaven, but to use the power of one's own orifices to give back to heaven and earth. It is impossible to become a god by practicing in this way, and it is even more impossible to achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven!
I don't know who came up with such a vicious method. It's obvious that they want to catch all the people in this world who have the potential to become gods, and return all their power to the heaven and earth to fatten up the evil god."
“Crack!”
Just as he finished speaking, a loud thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky for no apparent reason, and the entire immortal cave was shaken.
The Great God Cauldron was so frightened that his voice trembled and he said, "No more, no more. The secret cannot be revealed. I have seen immortals being struck to death by thunder!"
this!
Chen Jiu couldn't help but look up at the ceiling of the study, and was secretly shocked.
Are the ancient rumors true?
God really doesn’t allow people to cultivate to become gods and ascend to heaven!
He was stunned for a long time before he murmured, "Okay, I won't say any more. It's useless to say more. It's better to practice well."
After saying that, he slowly stood up and walked out.
This immortal cave was good in every way except for one thing: there were no windows on any side, so the moonlight couldn't get in. He simply couldn't practice the Taiyin Sutra's guiding techniques in it.
He dared not slack off at this moment. The earthly immortal Linlang practiced hard for thousands of years, but in the end he failed to become a god and died in depression .
He hasn't even started yet, so he'd better hurry up and cultivate to become a demon king.
