Inside the Temple of Pain.
Under the watchful eyes of seven deep dive monks including the Immortal Master, Mother of Pain, Zhong Ran, Thunder, Chengshuo, Yi Guangming and Ban Xu, there was a black shadow on the divine tripod that had been injected with the 'power of pain' Appeared from the cauldron.
The moment the black shadow appeared, all the monks present had a look of shock in their eyes.
This shock was noticed by Chengshuo.
At the same time, a guess in his mind was also verified:
In the Temple of Pain, almost all the deep dive monks on Xuanwu Star are gathered, but none of these monks are the 'black shadow'.
From this we can know that the 'black shadow' fellow Taoist is most likely on another planet.
At the same time, this also shows that the Shadow Pavilion is probably an extremely powerful organization, with members spread across various planets in the universe.
The power of the Shadow Pavilion cannot be underestimated.
On the divine cauldron.
While Cheng Sheng was thinking about it, the black shadow took the initiative to speak: "Hey, what's going on, fellow Taoist? Why are there so many people around this time?"
"They're all friends."
After Chengshuo replied casually, he went straight to the topic and said: "The main reason for contacting senior this time is to inquire about the 'Star Teleportation Array'."
"Didn't I tell you before that the 'Star Teleportation Array' is extremely difficult to set up." Shadow rushed into life and said: "Even if I know how to teach fellow Taoists how to set up the formation, they don't have enough resources and materials. , and it can’t be arranged.”
"What a coincidence."
Cheng Sheng patted the storage bag on his waist and placed some of the formation materials snatched from the Pseudoman Planet in front of the Shinto Cauldron.
He explained: "Some time ago, I happened to accidentally get some of the materials used to arrange the 'Star Teleportation Array', and then I also learned how to arrange the teleportation array."
"It's just that I didn't pay much attention when I learned how to set up the formation. I probably only remembered about two-thirds of it."
"Therefore, it is not yet known whether the formation I have arranged can be used normally. I would like to ask my seniors to help correct the mistakes."
As Chengshuo spoke, he took out the notes he had taken from the Pseudoman Planet about the arrangement of the 'Star Teleportation Array' from his storage bag.
He presented the notes in front of the Shen Dao Cauldron and said in a respectful tone: "Senior, please take a look at it!"
"Okay, then I'll help you take a look."
After the black shadow responded, there was a long silence.
During this period, the monks in the Temple of Pain remained silent for fear that their voices would interfere with the black shadow's thinking.
Not long after, a black shadow spoke: "Fellow Taoist, if I guess correctly, your teleportation array should have come from technological civilization, right?"
Chengshuo nodded and praised: "Senior has great eyesight!"
Black Shadow continued: "The methods and materials used by technological civilization to deploy the 'Star Teleportation Array' are different from our cultivation civilization."
"I am a monk after all, so I don't know much about the methods of technological civilization to arrange teleportation arrays."
Black Shadow emphasized: "So, I can only simply point out the problems in your teleportation array, but I cannot help correct them."
Chengshuo responded: "Senior, it doesn't matter if you say so."
The black shadow said: "Since I am just helping my fellow Taoist point out the problem this time and cannot help solve it, I will not accept the extra 'power of pain'. This time it is free for you."
"Due to flaws in the arrangement of Fellow Daoist's 'Star Teleportation Array', it cannot be teleported to a specific planet during teleportation."
"In short, it can only be transmitted randomly, wherever it goes."
"Furthermore, since it is a random transmission, you have to consider whether there is another 'Star Teleportation Array' on the destination planet."
"If there is no teleportation array on the destination planet, then the teleportation of fellow Taoists is one-way, and there is no return."
"Of course, the problem of no return does not necessarily mean there is no way to solve it."
When he said this, the black shadow suddenly became silent, as if waiting for something.
Cheng Sheng understood the meaning and immediately looked around and said: "Everyone, the rules of the Shadow Pavilion are: every time you ask a question, you need to pay a certain amount of 'Pain Power' as a fee."
When I heard that I had to pay extra for the 'Power of Pain', the Mother of Pain was not happy.
She interjected: "I won't bother senior to answer this question. I have a formation called 'Six Paths of Reincarnation'. This formation has the function of two-way transmission."
"Use this array combined with the 'Star Teleportation Array' to easily travel between two different planets."
"Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation?" The black shadow responded: "I have heard a little bit about this formation and it is said that monks in the transformation stage practice it. With this formation, it can be said to be twice the result with half the effort!"
"Now that you have solved the problem of two-way transmission, I won't go into details."
The black shadow turned to Cheng Huo and said, "So, fellow Taoist Cheng, do you have any other questions to ask? You can leave without me."
Cheng Sheng remained silent.
After traveling from the Pseudoman Planet, they managed to obtain the layout methods and materials of the 'Star Teleportation Array'.
Although the teleportation array is not complete and the teleportation destination cannot be determined, it is absolutely fine to use it to escape the invasion of unspeakable creatures and to save lives.
Now that the worries have been resolved, Chengshuo turns his attention to the practice after the deep dive period.
Thinking of this, Chengshuo subconsciously glanced at fellow Taoist 'Li Aotian' who was following him, but existed but did not actually exist.
The real Li Aotian from ten thousand years ago once said to Chenghuo: If monks in the deep dive stage want to break through to the stage of transformation into gods, they have to practice the practice of 'turning gods into demons' and the practice of 'turning gods into gods'.
True Li Aotian is following the path of 'transforming gods into gods'. Monks who follow the 'transform gods into gods' cultivation method need to find something as their own totem, and use the totem to absorb the power of indescribable creatures.
When monks absorb the power of unspeakable creatures, they will be polluted to a certain extent to a greater or lesser extent.
But it's different with totems.
With the totem, the monk can transfer the pollution he has suffered to the totem, so that he can successfully break through the bottleneck of the divine transformation stage.
This is the core of the practice of 'turning gods into gods'.
Then there is the practice method of 'turning gods into demons'.
Since Li Aotian followed the path of 'turning gods into gods', he didn't know much about this method.
Thinking of this, Chenghuo asked the black shadow: "Senior, have you ever heard of the practice of 'turning gods into demons'?"
"Turning gods into demons?"
The black shadow was startled when he heard the words: "I have only heard people talk about the practice of 'turning gods into gods' and 'turning gods into mortals', but I have never heard of 'turning gods into demons'. Becoming a Taoist Friend , don’t be fooled.”
Haven't you heard of 'turning gods into demons'?
Nearly 20,000 years have passed since the era when fellow Taoist Zhen Li Aotian lived.
Therefore, it is reasonable for the practice methods such as 'turning gods into demons' to be lost.
In this case, Chengsheng will not delve into it.
He turned to ask: "Senior, can you please explain in detail the practice of 'transforming gods into mortals'?"
"Yes." The black shadow requested: "But in exchange, you have to tell me how to arrange the Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation, and then I will not charge you for this consultation."
Chengshuo did not respond, but just glanced at Mi Tian Xian Zun. After all, only Mi Tian Xian Zun could arrange the Six Paths of Reincarnation Array.
The latter replied loudly: "It's just a spell. If I can get information in exchange for it, I will naturally be willing to do it."
After saying that, he patted the storage bag on his waist, took out a blank jade slip, and put it on his forehead.
Shaoqing, Mitian Immortal Lord threw the jade slip towards the cauldron and said: "Senior, this jade slip contains the entire content of the Six Paths of Samsara Array. You can check if there are any errors."
"Ha, no need." The black shadow smiled and said: "Although I don't know you, I can trust fellow Taoist monks, so there is no need to check."
With that said, the black shadow told everyone about the steps of the 'Transform God into Mortal' practice.
"Compared with the 'Transform God into God' cultivation method, the 'Transform God into Mortal' cultivation method is more complicated, and the conditions for its achievement are also more stringent."
"The practice of 'transforming gods into mortals' consists of two steps."
"The first step is to realize the Tao. The practitioner needs to let go of his cultivation and understand its rules from a certain thing as a mortal."
"As for the types of things, there is no limit: such as playing chess, cooking, drinking tea, and even killing. You can gain enlightenment from doing these things."
"After the Tao is achieved, the second step can be carried out: determination - the so-called determination means that the practitioner needs to sincerely and sincerely make great aspirations for the benefit of all mortals on the planet, to set great aspirations and achieve this ambition. There is no requirement that you have to complete it, but when you make ambitions, you must come from your heart.”
"It is precisely because of this characteristic that practitioners with a selfish personality will never be able to take the path of 'transforming gods into mortals'."
Need to aspire for the benefit of all mortals on the planet?
this.
Chengsheng thinks that he is not a selfish person, but he is definitely not a good person or a kind person.
Therefore, it is naturally difficult to achieve great aspirations for mortals from the bottom of our hearts.
Thinking of this, Chengshuo turned to consider taking the path of "transforming gods into gods" in order to break through to the stage of transforming into gods.
Considering that nearly 20,000 years have passed since Li Aotian's practice of 'turning gods into gods', the details may not be what they used to be.
After thinking about it, Chengshuo said to the black shadow: "Senior, can you tell me more about the details of the 'Transform God into God' practice method?"
"Okay." The black shadow replied: "But before I talk about the practice of 'turning gods into gods', I want to say one more thing by the way."
"That is, I do not recommend you to take the path of 'transforming gods into gods'."
"As well as the other Nascent Soul stage monks around you, I also do not recommend you to take the path of 'turning gods into gods'."
"Why?" Chengshuo asked.
"Because of the totem." The black shadow replied: "The practice of 'transforming gods into gods' originated about 20,000 years ago and reached its peak about 10,000 years ago. At that time, 'transforming gods into gods' was practiced The monks of the road are the most numerous.”
"But as time went by, people gradually discovered a huge flaw in the 'transforming gods into gods' practice method: that is, the totems chosen by the monks are unique."
"As a result, the number of monks who followed the path of 'transforming gods into mortals' began to decrease."
"For example: If I choose the 'stone' as a totem when I break through the stage of becoming a god, then when I become a Taoist friend and choose a totem, I can no longer choose 'stone' and so on. As time goes by, the available Monks will have fewer and fewer totems to choose from."
"Totems cannot be repeated?" Cheng Huo was surprised when he heard this: "From 20,000 years ago to the present, there are tens of thousands of monks born in the entire universe, no matter how few, there may be even more. A cultivator of the Divine Transformation Stage will probably have to choose from the sun, moon, stars, flowers, trees, and everything else in this world! So, don’t those of us who come after us have no choice?”
"Hey." The black shadow said with a smile: "You really don't have a choice, but if you insist on the 'transforming gods into gods' practice method, then it would be okay to borrow 'totems' from monks who have broken through to the god-transformation stage. feasible."
"However, there are certain side effects of doing so: monks who use totems to achieve breakthroughs cannot continue to practice because they do not have their own totems, so their cultivation can only stay at the stage of spiritual transformation throughout their lives."
"So the cultivation method using totems is generally a path chosen by Nascent Soul stage monks who are approaching their lifespan and are eager to make breakthroughs to extend their lifespan."
"You can become a Taoist friend."
The black shadow said: "If I'm not wrong, you should be less than a hundred years old when you become a Taoist friend? At your age, you definitely can't use the method of borrowing totems to break through."
Hearing this, Chengshuo said helplessly: "There is no need to resort to the method of totem. With my personality, I cannot take the path of 'turning gods into mortals'. I am not that selfless and can make great wishes for all mortals in the world from the bottom of my heart." .”
"Hey"
The black shadow smiled slyly and said: "Actually, I also know a rather crooked practice of 'transforming gods into mortals'."
"The second step of 'transforming gods into mortals' is not to make great aspirations for all the mortals in the world? Then fellow Taoist, you might as well just kill all the mortals in the world and leave only one person. Then, you just have to face that When the last person makes a great wish, it is equivalent to 'making a great wish to all the people in the world'."
"This is a trick, and 'killing all the mortals in the world' is too unconscionable."
"Everything to be done or not to do is entirely up to fellow Taoists to make their own decisions. I will not advise fellow Taoists. Doing so would be too detrimental to your moral character."
"Yin De?" Chenghuo heard a new term from the black shadow and immediately asked: "Is there still such a thing as merit in this world?"
"No, that's all I said." The black shadow said: "There is no creation god in this world, and people cannot be reincarnated after death, let alone go to a mysterious space. These are all superstitions. Fellow Taoist can Don’t make the mistake of believing it.”
"in addition."
The black shadow finally said: "If you have nothing else to ask, fellow Taoist, then I will take the first step. I still have something to deal with here."
Chengsheng didn't try to persuade him to stay, he just cupped his fists and saluted the black shadow on the cauldron: "Congratulations, senior!"
When the Mother of Pain and others saw it, they also saluted the cauldron and said in unison: "Best farewell to me, senior!"
"Goodbye, everyone!" The black shadow stopped talking and disappeared from the cauldron in an instant.
Inside the Temple of Pain.
After listening to the black shadow's narration, the Mother of Pain was the first to speak: "Fellow Taoists, now we have an incomplete version of the 'Star Teleportation Array'. This is equivalent to having a teleportation system that can teleport to other planets at any time. We have a way to save our lives."
"So what we need to focus on next is how to break through to the divine transformation stage."
"You just heard what the black shadow senior said: In today's era, the practice of 'transforming gods into gods' is no longer feasible."
"And if you want to practice the method of 'transforming gods into mortals', you need to kill all the mortals on the entire planet."
"so."
At this point, the voice of the Mother of Pain suddenly became louder: "If you fellow Taoists go to kill mortals in other places, I won't care about it, and I can't control it. But whoever dares to touch the mortals on my territory, then let it go." Blame it on me, the mother of pain, for turning her back on me!"
"To sum it up in one sentence: I, the Mother of Pain, would rather not break through and not follow the path of cultivation of 'transforming gods into mortals'! Nor will I slaughter mortals!"
"Hey." As soon as the Mother of Pain finished her words, Mitian Immortal Lord echoed: "It's the same with Mitian City. Even if I Mitian can't break through to the god transformation stage in my life, I will never take advantage of mortals. , let alone allow others to wantonly slaughter the mortals of our Midian City!"
