"I dare to ask the ancestor, where is the life of ghosts?"
Hearing that ghosts were indeed alive, the Lord of Dongcheng was excited and couldn't help but step forward and ask.
"People have martial arts, immortals have fairy ways, gods have divine ways, Buddhas have Buddhist ways, and demons have devil ways. Ghosts, of course, also have ghost ways."
"The vitality of ghosts lies here."
"In the future, ghost paths will emerge to open up a path to transcendence for hundreds of millions of ghosts."
There was nothing to hide. It was part of Jiang Chen's plan, so Jiang Chen said it directly.
The ghost path is the life of countless ghosts, and it is also the path to enlightenment for Emperor Fengdu.
How could Emperor Fengdu be qualified to become the Lord of the Netherworld, to be in charge of the Underworld, and to rule over all ghosts? It is because he will open up the ghost path in the future and open up a path to transcendence for hundreds of millions of ghosts, thereby becoming the supreme ghost path, respected by all ghosts, and ascending to the throne of the Netherworld Supreme in one fell swoop.
After all, the Nether World is also the world of the dead, and countless ghosts are the dead. With their support, they are naturally qualified to become the Lord of the Nether World and aspire to the supreme position.
"Ghost path?"
Hearing these two words, the city lords of the five cities were all shocked. They couldn't help but kneel on the ground, kowtow to Jiang Chen and said: "I beg the ancestor to show his kindness and teach the ghost way to the ghosts in the Netherworld, so as to relieve their grievances."
The five of them were among the first batch of disciples to enter the Shangqing Palace. They were truly blessed by the saint. Their talents may not be very high, but their luck was definitely far superior to that of their peers.
Therefore, as soon as Jiang Chen told them about the ghost path, the five of them seemed to be blessed. They knew that their opportunity had come, and they quickly kowtowed and begged Jiang Chen to teach the ghost path to all the ghosts in the Netherworld.
Opportunity!
What a great opportunity!
Now, the five people feel that a huge opportunity lies in front of them.
How should I put it, when they are bowing now, it would be fine if Jiang Chen didn’t pass on the ghost path, but if he did pass on the ghost path, wouldn’t it mean that Jiang Chen only passed it down after the five of them bowed and begged. The ghost path?
In an instant, the five people became taller. In the future, all living beings who set foot on the ghost path will accept their kindness whether they are willing or not.
After all, no matter how many ghosts are passed down, they must have a share of credit. The so-called gratitude, if the ghosts in the future do not want to be scolded as ungrateful, then they must accept their kindness.
With this favor, the five people's destiny became brighter in an instant.
Even if the ghost path is not strong, they can still get Daluo Jinxian's Dao Fruit with this. If the Ghost Dao is extremely prosperous in the future, then they will be able to benefit from it, and at least they can gain the status of an innate Taoist master.
A simple request, if successful, is enough to change their life's destiny. Why don't they ask for such a big benefit? If they fail, they will lose nothing, but if they succeed, they will make a lot of money.
"You five are quite clever!"
Seeing the performance of the five people, Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but laugh.
These five people are really smart and know how to seize opportunities. The world is like this, choice is more important than hard work.
Just like the five people, just seizing an opportunity can save countless years of hard work. In other words, they directly reached the sky in one step, reaching a height that they theoretically could not reach anyway.
Regarding the ghost path, since Jiang Chen planned to become the Great Emperor of Fengdu, he was naturally prepared. He had already researched a rough idea.
In other words, this was his trump card to become the Great Emperor of Fengdu. Before getting the support of Empress Houtu, Jiang Chen was ready to take out the ghost path at the critical moment and kill all his competitors with one blow.
But now, because of the support of Empress Houtu, Jiang Chen can be said to have secured the position of Emperor Fengdu 100%. The trump card he prepared earlier has no use, but he can use it in advance to gain some for himself. reputation.
"It doesn't matter, you are my disciples after all, so I will give you this opportunity. I plan to stay in the City of Wasted Death for a year to explain the ways of ghost cultivation to the ghosts."
"It's up to you to prepare for this matter."
The five of them are all Zhang Daoling's disciples, and can be regarded as Jiang Chen's disciples. This relationship can be said to be very close. Therefore, if this opportunity is not given to anyone, it would be better to give it to one of your own people.
"Thank you, Patriarch!"
After the five people heard the words, they knew that the matter was settled, their destiny had been changed at this moment, and their future prospects would be limitless.
At this moment, they were so excited that they couldn't describe it in words. If they hadn't worried about Jiang Chen's presence, they would have looked up to the sky and roared to vent their excitement.
"I would like to ask the Patriarch, when are you going to open the forum to teach the Dharma? Could you please let me know in advance so that the disciples can be prepared?"
After a long time, the five of them gradually calmed down. Thinking of what Jiang Chen said before, they asked respectfully.
"Let's make it three days after the Ghost Festival." After thinking about it, Jiang Chen said.
His sermon this time could be said to have been impromptu, and he did not intend to give a big speech. Instead, he gave a small-scale sermon with the intention of popularizing the concept of ghost ways, so that all ghosts would have a clue in their minds and avoid ghosts. They were unprepared when Tao suddenly appeared.
As for when the true sermon will completely establish the ghost path, it will naturally be the moment when Jiang Chen becomes the Great Emperor of Fengdu.
The moment Emperor Fengdu ascends the throne, the entire Nether World, including all the ghosts in the world, will feel the emotion. This is the best time to start teaching ghosts. Not only is it justifiable, but it can also be heard clearly by all the ghosts. to his sermon this time.
Preaching also has merit. Generally speaking, the more souls who listen to the sermon, the more merit you will receive.
This is the work of enlightenment!
"It's the Patriarch!"
When the five people heard this, they didn't say anything about time being too tight. Instead, they respectfully stepped back and went to do this matter.
Whether it’s spreading the word or setting up a venue for preaching, it takes time. And the time Jiang Chen left for them was so short, there was no extra time for them to waste.
Nowadays, there are only seven or eight days until the Ghost Festival, which means that in ten days, Jiang Chen will give a lecture on ghosts in the City of Fusei.
The Netherworld is so big, how far can this news spread in ten days? And even if the message spreads far enough, how many ghosts can come in only ten days?
Thanks to the Ghost Festival, there were a lot of ghosts near the City of Wasted Death. Otherwise, few people would have come to listen to Jiang Chen's sermon this time.
Jiang Chen didn't care about any of this. It was just an impromptu thing, but if no one really came to listen, it didn't matter. Instead, it saved him trouble.
Those who were able to come here to listen to his sermon showed that they were lucky; those who could not come here only meant that they were unlucky and missed this opportunity.
This is the state of mind of an expert, do whatever you want!
…
…………
After the five people left, Jiang Chen did not sit idle. Instead, he directly found a place to sit down and sort out his knowledge of ghost ways.
Since he was going to preach, he naturally had to come up with some practical information to avoid others from scolding him for fooling people.
Jiang Chen is not a ghost, but he understands ghosts very well. What is a ghost? Simply put, it is the soul. And in terms of soul, who can be better than Sanqing?
To be honest, when it comes to the soul, the Three Pure Ones are the authority. Even innate ghosts and gods who have an innate understanding of the soul are not even worthy of holding their shoes in front of them.
The reason is very simple, because Sanqing does not have a physical body, they are transformed by Pangu Yuanshen. And what is Yuanshen? It is the product of the soul after several transformations.
As you practice together, as your cultivation level improves, your soul will continue to condense and undergo transformation. First he became a yin god, then transformed into a yang god, and then blended with heaven and earth and sublimated into a primordial spirit.
In other words, the essence of Yuanshen is the soul, but it is more advanced. And since the Sanqing were transformed by Pangu Yuanshen, it is conceivable that their achievements in the soul path are unparalleled.
How strong the Twelve Ancestral Witches are in terms of body, and how strong the Three Pure Ones are in terms of soul.
I have said so much just to prove one thing, that is, in a sense, Sanqing is also a ghost...
You see, ghosts are formed from souls, and so are the three pure beings. Ghosts do not have physical bodies. Although the three pure beings exist, they are equivalent to not having them. Just as the Twelve Ancestral Witches are weak in spirit, the Three Pure Ones are also weak in body.
Sanqing has many similarities with ghosts, but their origins are too high, which makes them look like ghosts.
We can look at the essence through phenomena and trace everything back to its source. They are all creatures transformed from souls. What is the difference between the two? It's just that the three pure beings are beyond life and death since they were born, and the ghosts are still struggling in life and death.
Of course, by saying all this, I am not trying to prove that Sanqing is really a ghost. They are just similar, but in fact they are very different. If Sanqing was really a ghost, the ghost would have been born long ago, and there would be no need to wait until now.
The purpose of saying so much is to explain that the innate inheritance of the Three Pure Ones is the most suitable inheritance for ghost cultivation.
Jiang Chen has all the inheritance of the Shangqing Saints and part of the inheritance of the Taiqing Saints, so he clearly knows that the innate inheritance of the Three Pure Ones is mainly about cultivating the soul.
If ghosts want to progress, they must naturally transform towards the Yuanshen. Therefore, the most suitable technique for them is naturally the Sanqing inheritance, that is, the Pangu Yuanshen inheritance.
Of course, what level of existence is the Sanqing? Even when they were just born, they all had the cultivation of the innate Taoist masters, and their inheritance contained the mystery of the Tao. The level was too high, even if they were placed directly in front of the ghosts, they would also can't read.
Therefore, at this time, it is necessary for an expert to appear and develop a set of exercises suitable for low-cost ghost cultivation based on the inheritance of Pangu Yuanshen.
This is also the limitation of innate inheritance. Even the weakest innate gods and demons had the cultivation level of a golden immortal when they were born. Therefore, all innate inheritance starts from the Golden Immortal.
As for the inheritance under the Golden Immortal, I'm sorry, there is none, and the innate gods and demons don't need it either. As for the ghosts in the Netherworld, most of them are no different from ordinary people, and they cannot understand the innate inheritance anyway.
Of course, it's useless even if you understand it. It's a technique prepared for Jinxian. So what if you understand it? Without the cultivation of the Golden Immortal, you cannot practice either.
Therefore, the first step in opening up the ghost path is to develop a set of exercises that allow ghosts to practice. After completing the first step, you can start the second step, which is to sort out the concept of ghost path and point out a direction of progress for them so that they can keep going until they transcend.
After completing this step, you can do nothing else and let the ghost monks work hard on their own.
As the saying goes, there is no road in the world, but when there are more people walking, there is a road. In the same way, there are no ghost ways in this world, but there are too many ghosts walking around, so ghost ways will naturally appear.
The rise of Yifangdao cannot be achieved by one person. Even if it is Taoist Hongjun, you only see him opening up the Xuanmen Immortal Way, but you don't see that before the ancient times, when the world was just opened, Taoist was followed by countless colleagues.
It was Daozu and his fellow Taoists who worked hard to study together, which led to the later heyday of Xuanmen Immortal Dao. As for why these people are nowhere to be seen, we can only say that they were unlucky and did not survive to this era and fell into the battle between immortals and demons.
If the ghost path wants to prosper, Jiang Chen alone is not enough. All he can do is point out a direction for the ghosts, and the rest depends on their own efforts.
Jiang Chen was born into studying the way of Pangu Yuanshen, so it is not difficult for him to develop a method suitable for the cultivation of all ghosts based on the way of Pangu Yuanshen.
Sound simple?
But this is not the case. It is not difficult to create a technique that can be practiced by ghosts, but it is extremely difficult to develop a technique that can be practiced by all ghosts.
One person has one appearance, and ten thousand people have ten thousand appearances. In the ancient world, there are more than trillions of creatures, it is simply endless.
In this case, apart from the Pangu inheritance, the rest, even the inheritance of the Taoist ancestors, cannot be said to be practiced by everyone.
The heaven and the earth all originate from the Great God Pangu. He is the true beginning of all things. There is no discomfort for all sentient beings practicing his inheritance.
In other words, only the ghost cultivation technique developed based on the way of Pangu Yuanshen can be practiced by everyone.
Jiang Chen's ability to open up the ghost path was not accidental, but inevitable. First of all, he possesses the inheritance of Pangu Yuanshen, which meets the basic conditions for opening up the ghost path. Secondly, he is from the human race, and most ghosts in the Netherworld are from the human race, and those from other races are rare.
Ghosts are weak and no one cares about them. Even if someone with great supernatural powers comes to the netherworld for the purpose of reincarnation, they will not even look at these ghosts.
But Jiang Chen was different. He came from later generations, so he saw the helplessness of ghosts and the opportunities of ghost ways. At this point, ghost ways were born from his hands.
"That is to say, the ghosts have not yet become powerful. This is why I took advantage. After a while, the opportunity to open up the ghost path will not fall on me."
