Another major practice route for Shinto practitioners is not to believe in or worship other gods, but to become their own gods.
This route is countless times more difficult than the first route, and it is also more ambitious and independent.
Almost all those who become gods through their own efforts are those with great perseverance and great opportunities.
The future is much greater than those who become gods by relying on rewards from high-ranking gods.
Many high-level officials in the Taiyi world appreciate these gods very much and will work hard to introduce them into the Taiyi world's god system.
In fact, although Taiyi Sect, as the leader of Taiyi Realm, is an out-and-out Immortal Sect, the number of true gods possessed by Taiyi Realm has always exceeded the number of true immortals.
Many Taoist cultivators have criticized this, and even worry that it will become a future trouble for the Taiyi world.
Meng Zhang, of course, has absolute control over the gods he canonize using the jade book, so he naturally feels that such worries are nonsense.
However, as the supreme leader of the Taiyi Realm, he also has to take care of some of the thoughts of Taoist cultivators, and he must also take care of the balance of forces among all parties.
Since those cultivators who have accumulated a lot of experience, true immortals have been born continuously, and this problem has been solved.
Old problems are solved, new ones arise.
The number of true immortals and true gods in Taiyi Realm is increasing, but the number of heavenly immortals has not increased yet.
True immortals like Niu Dawei, who were favored by Meng Zhang, were still far away from the realm of heavenly immortals.
The oldest true immortal in Taiyi Realm should be Fairy Yue'e.
But as an ordinary true immortal, she is too ordinary in every aspect.
Even though she gained many benefits after joining the Taiyi Realm, she still had no sign of breaking through to the Immortal Realm.
Fairy Yue'e is like this, and other true immortals are further away from the realm of heavenly immortals.
Even the so-called geniuses in the world of cultivation must abide by the rules of cultivation and need time to accumulate and hone.
Quick breakthroughs like Meng Zhang's are too rare.
In fact, although Meng Zhang is not very old, he has many opportunities. The hardships he has experienced and the qualifications he has gained are very rich.
Although he desperately hopes that more immortals will appear in Taiyi Realm, Meng Zhang knows that this kind of thing cannot be rushed.
The only thing he can do is to try to provide more suitable conditions for the younger generations of true immortals to help them grow.
Speaking of immortals, Gu Yue Lingqing, who has high hopes from the Taiyi world, has been in seclusion for many years to break through to the immortal realm.
At the beginning, many people were paying attention to his situation.
As he has not succeeded in making a breakthrough and has been in retreat, everyone has slowly turned their attention to other things.
In fact, those high-level monks with enough knowledge should know that breaking through to the realm of immortals is inherently a time-consuming matter.
Even if the breakthrough person is fully prepared and confident in advance, it may still take hundreds or even thousands of years to break through.
Back then, Meng Zhang had only been in seclusion for a few decades, but he successfully achieved the realm of immortals. He was really a rare anomaly in the world of cultivation.
As time goes by, the threat to Taiyi Realm from Fahua Sect and other sects gradually fades away.
The void is vast, and it is not easy for them to find the Taiyi Realm that has been moving at high speed without clear guidance.
During this period of time, Taiyi Realm has been wandering in the empty void without any contact with the outside world.
Along the way, monks from the Taiyi Realm actively organized explorations, but found nothing.
Although the current resources of Taiyi Realm are sufficient and can support many immortals for a long time, people who do not have long-term concerns must have immediate worries.
Since Taiyi Realm has entered the void and embarked on the path of supporting war with war and plundering the outside world, it should always remain aggressive and ensure that it can obtain supplies from the outside world every once in a while.
Although Taiyi World is a complete big world, it can already produce more and more resources, including many rare treasures of heaven, materials and earth.
However, there are countless spiritual beings in the world of cultivation, and there are still many resources that the Taiyi world cannot produce on its own.
Especially after An Xiaoran became an alchemy master and started refining elixirs, many of Taiyi Sect's inventory of spiritual objects were rapidly consumed.
Some of the materials recorded on the elixir prescriptions have never been heard of or seen by many immortals in the Taiyi world.
The lack of materials has become an important factor restricting the performance of the alchemy master An Xiaoran.
Taiyi Realm cannot hide in a remote and uninhabited place all the time, and needs to maintain regular contact with the outside world.
Even if this contact is fraught with all kinds of dangers, it must be maintained.
Meng Zhanglu has obtained many star maps one after another, recording the distribution of various worlds and forces in the void.
The route he deduced for Taiyi Realm through his last use of Tianji Technique saved Taiyi Realm from the threat. In the following journey, Taiyi Realm did not gain anything.
Tianjishu is not omnipotent.
Even though Meng Zhang is already an immortal and can easily withstand most of the backlash after using Tianji, he is still reluctant to use Tianji at will.
The results derived from the Mystery Technique are often chaotic and changeable. Many times they are not very clear. They are just a simple guide, or even very vague.
When a Tianji Immortal Master like Meng Zhang uses Tianji Technique to deduce, even if the derivation is only about simple questions, there will occasionally be situations where the derivation cannot produce results, or the results are too vague.
Of course, even if he doesn't like it, he won't hesitate at all when he needs to use the secret technique to make deductions.
Generally speaking, the more relevant information you have before using the Heavenly Secret Technique to make deductions, the more accurate the deduction results will be, and the less the price you need to pay.
Meng Zhang carefully studied these star maps and looked for the next target.
After selecting the target, he will use the secret technique to deduce the good or bad luck.
While Meng Zhang was busy, strange phenomena such as dense auspicious clouds, floating fairy music, and golden flowers falling from the sky suddenly appeared in the sky above Taiyi Realm.
Meng Zhang, who had already had similar experiences, was overjoyed.
This is another true immortal from the Taiyi Realm who has broken through to the realm of heavenly immortals.
Gu Yue Lingqing is the only one who is in retreat in Taiyi Realm to break through to the realm of immortals.
Next, Meng Zhang's experience was repeated in Gu Yue Lingqing.
However, it is probably because the inheritance of practice is not as good as Meng Zhang's, and the accumulation is not as good as Meng Zhang's.
Although he successfully broke through to the realm of immortals, the benefits he gained were not as many as Meng Zhang's, and his cultivation and strength were also far behind those of the original Meng Zhang.
In any case, Gu Yue Lingqing's achievement of becoming an immortal is a success and a great joy for the entire Taiyi world.
When he broke through to the Immortal Realm, he made too much noise, and soon alarmed almost the entire Taiyi Realm.
Because he had been in seclusion for too long to break through, many senior officials in the Taiyi world had almost forgotten that he was still in the process of breaking through.
