None of the ghosts present was a fool. After understanding what Jiang Chen meant, they knelt down without hesitation and begged Jiang Chen to teach them the way of ghosts.
"Get up!"
Jiang Chen waved his hand to tell the ghosts to get up, and then began to teach everyone about ghosts.
"Ghosts return. When people die, they become ghosts, so they return. Pure yang energy is called gods, and pure yin energy is called ghosts..."
"When a person dies, he is called a ghost, and ghosts return. Their spirits return to heaven, and their flesh returns to earth. Their souls return to heaven, and their bodies and souls return to earth..."
As Jiang Chen preached, heaven and earth suddenly felt something. They saw golden flowers emerging from the sky, like rain, falling from the sky piece by piece. There are springs gushing out from the ground, giving birth to golden lotuses.
The so-called master preaches, the sky is full of flowers, and the ground is full of golden lotuses, it's nothing like this.
Because the cultivation level of the ghosts was too low, Jiang Chen didn't explain anything advanced. He always started from the lowest point. For example, how to collect yin energy, starlight, spiritual energy and other such forces to condense and temper the soul body so that it can transform into a yin god, and then the yin pole generates yang and transform into a yang god. Finally, heaven and earth are realized, blended with the vitality of heaven and earth, and condensed into the soul.
When Jiang Chen thought about it, there could only be two paths for the ghost path to take. The first one is to follow the path of yin pole generating yang, constantly condensing the yin soul to reach the limit, and then giving birth to yang energy, transforming into a yang god in one fell swoop.
At this point, there is no difference between ghost monks and normal monks.
The so-called Yang Shen is to condense the soul into a pure Yang Qi, so as to achieve the state of gathering to form and dispersing to form Qi.
Yang Shen is a combination of spirituality and ancestral energy. Although it is more refined than all acquired things, it still has the nature of energy, which is limited to the realm of ancestral energy and cannot transcend into the realm of nothingness. It takes further efforts to return emptiness before one can become one with the Tao.
Therefore, the realm where the Yang God is located is the stage of refining the spirit and transforming into the void. Going one step further is the state where the spirit merges with the heaven and the earth, and returns to the void and merges with the Tao.
After reaching the realm of returning to the virtual world, Yang Shen will also transform into Yuan Shen. The so-called Yuanshen is the innate ancestral energy, which is naturally in harmony with the heaven and earth, so it can be in harmony with the Tao.
But when you reach this state, you can reshape your physical body with just a thought. Although you are called a ghost or immortal, it is actually not much different from a heavenly immortal.
This path leads to the Avenue of Immortals, which teaches the method of using ghost bodies to become immortals.
Of course, ghosts have souls but no bodies, so they have flaws after all. Although they can become immortals, it is extremely difficult. Every step forward will be tested by thunder and calamity. In the thunder of heaven, all the yin energy is lost, and the body of yang god is achieved.
The ghost body becomes an immortal, which is a different kind of rebirth. After all, resurrecting from the dead is going against the will of heaven and requires paying a huge price. Therefore, if you take this path, you are destined to be struck by lightning. You are taking risks, so be careful.
The other road is the real road of ghosts and immortals. I don't care at all whether the yin pole generates yang, just go to the dark side and specialize in the path of pure yin.
Compared with the way of immortality, this is the true way of ghost cultivation. Those who achieve immortality through this way can be called ghost immortals.
This path of ghosts and immortals follows the path of pure yin, focusing on strengthening the soul. It may not be strong in the early stage, but in the later stage, it can be invisible and formless like a demon, specializing in destroying people's soul, which is very weird.
Of course, ghosts and immortals do not have a physical body, which has both advantages and disadvantages. They are easily targeted by others, and the disasters they will face when cultivating the immortal path are far more powerful than others.
After all, those who become immortals in ghost bodies are aliens, and those who become immortals in a different kind of body will be stronger than the human form in all disasters.

…………
Jiang Chen's sermon this time focused on these two methods of becoming an immortal, and he only talked about the realm of immortals. He did not touch on higher-level scriptures.
Nowadays, the lineage of ghost cultivators is still too weak to use the inheritance above the immortals. Therefore, Jiang Chen has not passed on a higher inheritance for the time being, but is preparing to pass on this part of the inheritance designed to the immortal level after he becomes the Great Emperor of Fengdu and the ghost cultivator line gradually becomes popular.
Otherwise, if he has said everything in this sermon, what will he say next?
What if you only preach half of the sermon and the other half is preached by others? This is very simple. Whoever dares to do this will be killed and then turned into his own incarnation. Then he will be the one preaching, isn't he?
When Jiang Chen started talking about the ghost way, he was also announcing to this world and all the powerful people that this ghost way is already mine, and you should not have any more ideas about the ghost way.
At this time, a sensible person will naturally stop arguing with Jiang Chen, while an ignorant person will insist on telling the half that Jiang Chen did not tell, which means that he will end up arguing with Jiang Chen.
The battle for the great road will never end. Therefore, if he doesn't end up, that's it. Once he does, it means that this person is going to fight Jiang Chen for his life.
In the past, when Jiang Chen's strength was low, he would naturally not dare to argue with others. Therefore, even if he had thoughts in his heart, he would not dare to speak out for fear of provoking the ideas of the big shots.
But now, Jiang Chen is already a big shot, so naturally he is not afraid of others fighting with him.
Before heaven and earth are declared, it doesn't matter how you fight. But after he declared heaven and earth, if anyone dares to fight with him about the ghost realm, he will really fight to the death.
Even if the saint comes forward, he can't stop the war. The Dao dispute has nothing to do with right or wrong, only life and death. As long as one party is not completely destroyed, the Dao dispute is not completely over.
With Jiang Chen's current strength, as long as the saint doesn't fight with him personally, then even if a person with great supernatural powers comes, he won't be able to fight him. That being the case, what else does he have to fear?
…
…………
Just when Jiang Chen was preaching in the Netherworld, the whole world suddenly began to change because of his preaching.
This change was so subtle that ordinary monks could not feel it at all, but those with great supernatural powers noticed the abnormality immediately.
When it comes to heaven and earth, no subtle changes can escape the perception of these great supernatural beings. It is precisely because of such vigilance that these great supernatural beings have not been eliminated by heaven and earth.
People who are not so vigilant have long since perished in the past years.
"Ghost path?"
"The way of ghost cultivation?"
"No, it's the way of ghosts and immortals."
"It's this disciple of Sage Shangqing again, Jiang Chen!"
"Can't he calm down for a while? Why does he make some noise every once in a while, as if otherwise, it's not enough to show his existence."
From the changes in heaven and earth, these great supernatural beings noticed that a new practice system had emerged.
This discovery shocked the hearts of all those with great supernatural powers. Every new cultivation system that emerged was a major event, involving too many interests, enough to affect all aspects.
After realizing this, the great supernatural powers began to investigate further, wanting to know who had developed a new system of practice. Then, they all fell into speechlessness.
Because, this time it was Jiang Chen who opened up the ghost path.
Jiang Chen! Jiang Chen! It’s all Jiang Chen!
Looking at the recent major events, which one is not related to Jiang Chen?
Since his appearance, the entire Three Realms have been in shock, with small earthquakes occurring every three days and major earthquakes occurring every five days. These great supernatural beings almost thought that the Three Realms would not change without him.
"Hmph, how can such an escape be a long-term solution?"
There are some powerful people who are dissatisfied with Jiang Chen and speculate maliciously, thinking that people who dance like Jiang Chen will not last long and will have accidents sooner or later.
Some people with great supernatural powers seemed to have realized something, and their expressions suddenly became solemn.
"My luck in the Immortal Way has increased. Is it the Ghost Immortal Way? Jiang Chen opened up the Ghost Immortal Way in addition to the Heavenly Immortal Way and the Divine Immortal Way, which broadened my path to the Immortal Way and made it more vast. As a result, the luck of the Immortal Dao skyrocketed."
The person with great supernatural powers who was born in Xuanmen looked at the river of destiny and clearly saw that the luck representing Xuanmen was rising, and the purple energy was filling the air, as if it was covering the entire river of destiny.
Ghost fairy!
Jiang Chen named the Ghost Way the Way of the Ghost Immortal. He did not name it casually, but had a deep meaning. To put it simply, it was to ride on the popularity of Xuanmen.
In fact, it is not just the popularity of Xuanmen. The way of ghosts and immortals is itself born out of the immortal way. Sanqing is the founder of the Immortal Way, and the Ghost Way was developed by Jiang Chen based on their inheritance.
After tracing back to the origin, the source of the ghost way is the inheritance of the Three Pure Ones. The entire system is based on the immortal way, so Jiang Chen named the ghost way the way of ghosts and immortals.
Ghost Immortal, Ghost Immortal, since the name contains the word "Xian", it can be regarded as a branch of the immortal way.
"Back then, when the teacher was giving a lecture, he once said that there should be five immortals in the immortal way, heaven, earth, humans, gods and ghosts! As long as the five immortals can be perfected, the immortal way will usher in an unprecedented great prosperity."
"It's a pity that the teacher is about to join the Tao, but he is unable to complete this matter. Therefore, the important task of making the Five Immortals perfect falls on our heads."
"This is the responsibility of our generation of immortal monks. At the same time, it is also our opportunity. Whoever can make all the five immortals perfect, then he will be the future leader of Xuanmen. Even if the saint is in power, he must take the initiative to abdicate and make way for others."
"And the headmaster of Xuanmen must be Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. Even if he was not before, the moment he becomes the headmaster of Xuanmen, he will enter the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian with the blessing of Xuanmen's huge luck. .”
"This is a shortcut to enlightenment. However, it is easier said than done. From the time the teacher joined the Tao to the present, the path of the Five Immortals has not been complete, not even all have appeared."
"After Brother Sanqing became a saint, he expounded the immortal way through the inheritance of Pangu Yuanshen. This was the birth and perfection of the lineage of immortals."
"After that, the Conferred God Tribulation broke out, all the disciples of the Jiejiao sect died, and the true spirit entered the Conferred God List. At this point, the immortals were born and then completed."
"And the way of the Earth Immortal should belong to Taoist Brother Zhen Yuanzi, but to this day, Brother Zhen Yuanzi has been the ancestor of the Earth Immortal for countless years, and he has not been able to develop the way of the Earth Immortal. , let alone complete.”
"The way of human immortality was originally developed by Nuwa Empress to replace the ancient martial arts. However, a genius came out of the human race and just merged the way of human immortality with the ancient martial arts, thus creating the human martial arts."
"At this point, the road to immortality is cut off!"
"As for the Ghost Immortal Path, I thought that as the number of ghosts increased, it would be opened up by the disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun."
"I didn't expect that before the ghosts became powerful, the way of ghosts and immortals had already been born, and it came from the disciples of the Sage Shangqing, not the disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun."
A person with great supernatural powers was talking to himself, telling an unknown secret about the world.
It turns out that the idea of ghosts and immortals had already appeared when Taoist Hongjun was preaching. It was just that at that time, there were no ghosts in the world, so the theory of ghosts did not spread.
Later, with the appearance of ghosts, the great practitioners of Taoism immediately realized that the day when ghosts and immortals appeared was not far away. However, even though they were aware of this, no one intervened.
Because the opportunity of ghosts and immortals belongs exclusively to the Three Pure Ones, and will definitely come under their door.
This is indeed the case. Jiang Chen, who pioneered the path of ghosts and immortals, is the direct disciple of the Sage Shangqing. Of course, there are still deviations. Everyone originally thought that the disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun should be the ones who opened up the ghost path.
After all, the Taoist tradition of Sanqing now regards Yuanshi Tianzun as the most respected person, and even the saints of Taiqing have become his foil. As for the Sage of the Shangqing Dynasty, his orthodoxy has been destroyed. Naturally, such good things cannot happen to him.
Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened, and the opportunity that should have belonged to Yuanshi Tianzun's lineage was actually snatched away by the Shangqing lineage.
This is very interesting!
Of course, when it comes to seeing saints making jokes, you just have to think about it in your mind. If you really want to express it, that's the end of it. A saint can't do anything to other saints, so why can't he do anything to you?
"Everyone, now that the path of ghosts and immortals has been born, my path to immortality has been completed and we have made another big step forward. Do we want to show up and go to the Netherworld to congratulate the ancestor of ghosts and immortals?"
Someone with great supernatural powers spoke up and broke the silence.
This is the proper meaning. The Taoist Patriarch himself said that under him, there should be five ancestors, namely the ancestor of the heavenly immortals, the ancestors of the earthly immortals, the ancestors of the human immortals, the ancestors of the gods and immortals, and the ancestors of the ghost immortals.
These five ancestors have a high status in the immortal way, second only to the Taoist ancestors, and they are the people who greatly promoted the immortal way. Now that the ancestor of ghosts and immortals has been born, all the great supernatural beings, as immortals, naturally want to go to congratulate him.
This is not a congratulation to Jiang Chen, but a congratulation to the Immortal Dao. As long as you are still a member of the Immortal Dao, you must go.
That is to say, the saint is currently in a period of confinement and cannot enter the three realms, otherwise even they will have to go to congratulate him. Of course, even if I can't go, I still have to send an incarnation to go.
"this……"
Someone hesitated.
If it had been when Jiang Chen had just destroyed the Buddhist sect and was still the thorn in the side of the Xuan sect, no one would have hesitated at all now, and everyone would have gone to congratulate him.
But as the relationship between Jiang Chen and Xuanmen deteriorated rapidly, everyone's attitude towards him became divided. Some people remain as before, some are unmoved, some are disgusted, and some deeply hate it.
In short, since Jiang Chen stood on the opposite side of Xuanmen, no one has mentioned the matter of letting him become the Immortal Emperor. This is the impact.
"Don't be silent, everyone!"
"Even though the ancestor of the ghost immortal has the lowest status among the five ancestors, he is also the ancestor of the immortal way and cannot be underestimated."
There are many things to do during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so that’s all for today.
