Volume 1: The Great Tribulation of Longhan Chapter 13: The Way to Attain the Way
Perhaps because the previous topic was too heavy, the Taoists in the hall changed to a lighter topic and talked about their own experiences in the ancient times.
You talk about spiritual treasures and spiritual roots, and I will talk about the sacredness of the ancient times.
As they chatted, the topic somehow turned to the man in black robe who had set up a large formation in the wilderness east of Buzhou.
I only heard Yun Zhongjun say: "The method of cultivating the devil in the heart of Taoism practiced by those black-robed people is quite mysterious."
Speaking of this, Taoist Yuchen said, "I know a little about the method of cultivating demons in the heart of Taoism taught by the Western Demonic Sect."
Then he explained it to everyone.
“To plant a demon in the heart of Tao means to condense a demon seed within oneself, and then use one’s own seven emotions and six desires to feed the demon seed in sequence, so that it can grow into a big tree.
Every time one lust is fed, the tree will grow ten feet. During this process, the practitioner will gradually lose this lust.
When the second feeding is done, a magic fruit will grow on the tree. If you swallow it, your cultivation will increase to a certain extent, and the obstacles to entering the Dao and realizing the Dao will be reduced. The more magic fruits you swallow, the better the effect will be. "
Taoist Yuchen paused for a moment, then continued, "Another benefit of the big tree is that it can elevate the cultivation level of the cultivator in a short period of time. Although the duration is short, it is still amazing enough.
However, judging from the currently passed down method of planting demons in the heart of Tao, it can only be said that this is a method to achieve the Daluo Dao. Therefore, there are very few sacred beings who can break through the 20th level of Daluo, let alone achieve the Hunyuan Dao.
And because this is a simplified version of the Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Method, although it is easier to break through the Daluo and the cultivation speed is faster. But because of this, their understanding of the Dao is somewhat superficial, their foundation is not solid enough, and even their combat power is not as good as that of the ordinary Daluo at the same level. "
He also said that in more serious cases, if one does not practice the complete version of the Dao Heart Demon Cultivation, most of the saints may stop at the 20th level of Daluo in their lifetime.
It is said that the complete version of Tao Heart Planting Demon, when the tree grows to 13 meters, it will be refined into a demon seed again, and combined with the body, the seven emotions and six desires will return, and at this time it is only half a step away from achieving the Tao Hunyuan.
No one knows how to take the last half step, because the current number one magician Luohou has only reached the level of half-step Hunyuan.
Of course, maybe Luohu knows the way to break through.
I heard Taoist Yuchen talk about every aspect of the devil in one's heart like he knew it all.
Fuxi Changsheng and Yun Zhongjun looked at him with slightly strange eyes.
Is this what you mean by "knowing a thing or two"?
We all suspect that you are an undercover agent planted by the Demonic Camp in my Immortal Camp.
Feeling the gazes of the crowd, Taoist Yuchen was not panicked at all, his face remained calm, and his tone was very natural, "I am familiar with an old ancestor, and these are all instructed by the old ancestor."
When everyone heard this, they didn't investigate further.
Taoist Fuxi also took up the topic and said, "This is quite similar to the method of becoming a saint by beheading corpses taught by my immortal way."
The method of becoming a saint by beheading corpses that is currently circulated in the immortal camp is not like the rumors in later generations that it was about beheading the three corpses of good, evil and self.
Instead, he cut out the three large corpse worms in the upper, middle and lower Qi Hai Dantian.
A cultivator who can kill the three corpse worms one by one can reach a state of emptiness and clarity. In this state, he can realize the truth faster and break through more easily.
Killing the Three Corpses once is equivalent to the tenth level of Daluo cultivation; killing the Three Corpses twice is equivalent to the twentieth level of Daluo cultivation; killing the Three Corpses three times is equivalent to the thirtieth level of Daluo cultivation.
Of course, just like planting demons in the heart of Taoism, every time the three corpses are killed, the cultivator's emotions will become a little less emotional, and after three kills, he will become ruthless.
After the thirtyth heaven, one can restore emotions by recalling the three corpses beheaded three times one by one, thus reaching the thirty-third heaven, which is the level of half-step Hunyuan.
Likewise, the current method of becoming a saint by beheading corpses also has the problem of insufficient combat power and the possibility of stopping at the final realm.
"Do you have any way to practice this method?" asked Taoist Changsheng.
The four Taoists looked at each other and shook their heads. None of them had ever practiced the method of beheading corpses to become a saint.
In the immortal camp, there are few sacred beings who have cultivated themselves to the level of Daluo Jinxian and practiced the method of beheading the three corpses.
Those who practice this method of attaining enlightenment are basically those who have reached the sacred level of Taiyi.
Moreover, Patriarch Hongjun said frankly that his method of beheading corpses was not perfect enough, and he was still deducing and perfecting this method in order to solve the current drawbacks.
I think the situation in the magic camp is similar.
Mingyu listened to the Taoists' conversation with great interest, comparing their words with the information he knew about later generations from time to time.
He secretly guessed that the method of planting demons in the heart of Tao had not been heard of in later generations. It must be because of the battle between immortals and demons, and the immortals became the final winner.
The devil's way and the method of planting the devil in the heart were all lost in the long river of history.
As for this method of becoming a saint by beheading corpses, why is it different from what was passed down in later generations?
This is easy to guess, and the answer is - it was perfected by Patriarch Hongjun.
The drawback of today's methods is that they haven't been practiced to the final step.
Whoever it is,
When one's cultivation is high, emotions disappear.
If you practice too fast, your foundation will be insufficient.
The realm is there, but the combat effectiveness is not good enough.
Let’s take a look at the legend of beheading the three corpses in later generations.
With the spiritual treasure as his support, he cut off the three obsessions of good corpse, evil corpse and self corpse.
This does not lead to ruthlessness.
With the support of the magical treasure, the obsession of the three corpses turned from virtual to real.
Each corpse that is beheaded, except for its different personality, is completely equivalent to another you, and can also attain enlightenment, comprehend the truth, and practice cultivation.
This means that you can practice at the same time, and your body can fully absorb all the insights and achievements of the Three Corpses.
Killing one corpse brings twice the joy of practicing, killing three corpses brings four times the joy of practicing.
If several of you practice at the same time, of course the speed will be fast and the foundation will be stable.
As for the combat effectiveness, that depends on the quality of the spiritual treasure. The better the quality, the more combat effectiveness the Three Corpses will inherit from the original body.
Theoretically, an innate treasure can perfectly replicate the combat power of the original body, while an innate lower-grade spiritual treasure can only inherit 70% at most. An acquired spiritual treasure cannot be used to kill corpses, because an acquired spiritual treasure does not have the innate immortal spiritual light.
But there is a good thing in the prehistoric times called Xuanhuang Merit, which can turn an acquired spiritual treasure into an acquired merit spiritual treasure.
As long as the Xuanhuang merits are sufficient, they can replace the innate immortal spiritual light, and can also be used to chop corpses.
Even if it reaches a certain level, it can improve the quality of acquired spiritual treasures, making the power of acquired spiritual treasures no less than that of innate spiritual treasures.
For example, the treasure of acquired merit - the Linglong Tower of Heaven and Earth.
The most superior acquired spiritual treasure of merit and virtue—the Vajra Bracelet.
But no matter what, with one more corpse , the combat power will increase by more than 10%.
The combat power problem is solved.
It is worth mentioning that there are two kinds of Xuanhuang merits, one is the Xuanhuang merits of Hongmeng Avenue, and the other is the Xuanhuang merits of Tiandao.
The former is also called the merit of creation. When the great god Pangu created the world, Hongmeng Avenue bestowed merit, but these merits had been divided up at the moment the prehistoric world was formed.
The latter is obviously produced by the Way of Heaven, and the method to obtain the merits of the Way of Heaven is also simple - do things that are beneficial to the development of the prehistoric world and the evolution of the Way of Heaven.
Hehe, do these routines sound familiar? They are exactly the same as the Contract between Heaven and Earth. Everything goes around in circles and returns to the starting point - to promote the evolution of the Way of Heaven.
Of course, this is also mutually beneficial. You help the Heavenly Dao evolve, and the Heavenly Dao helps you improve your strength.
At least it looks quite harmonious for now.
