Nature and nurture, one word difference, but a world of difference.
Just because acquired spiritual treasures do not have innate immortal spiritual light and cannot be used to carry three corpses, so even if some acquired spiritual treasures are as powerful as innate spiritual treasures, their value is far inferior.
The method of killing three corpses is the mainstream nowadays.
In the ancient world, there were actually quite a few monks who could reach the peak of Da Luo and touch the quasi-sacred gate.
However, because there is no innate spiritual treasure, he cannot use the method of killing three corpses to enter the quasi-sage realm.
Among the three Taoist religions, there are at least half a hundred who are qualified to enter the quasi-sage realm.
Not to mention many other forces.
"The road is cut off..."
Xuan Chen could no longer imagine what crazy things the ancient monks would do if one day the innate spiritual treasure disappeared, the method of killing three corpses could no longer be practiced, and the path was cut off.
Once upon a time, the cause of Long Han's calamity was that the three of them, Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, Shi Qilin, wanted to have a glimpse of the realm above the Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
The same is true for the lich's calamity.
Whether it is the Witch Clan or the Monster Clan, they all established the Witch Clan, established the Demon Court, and started the war in order to gather the fate of the ancient times and seek the chance to realize the truth.
These people can be regarded as beings at the top of the ancient pyramid.
In order to prove the truth, you can be so crazy.
What about the monks at the peak of Daluo Jinxian?
Don’t they want to attain the quasi-sage realm?
If the Quasi-Sage and the Hunyuan Golden Immortal are the figures at the top of the Great Pyramid, then the Daluo Golden Immortal is the mainstay of the Great Ancient, and plays a role as a link between the past and the future.
As for the saint, he is already a transcendent existence.
"Shinto……"
Xuan Chen suddenly understood why there must be a conferred god to measure the calamity. It was not because the heaven was short of manpower, nor was it because the prehistoric world could not support so many monks.
The fundamental reason is to promote the birth of Shinto.
The path to immortality is cut off. In order to prevent this group of people from going crazy, they can only create a path to the path of immortality.
Shinto relies on incense for improvement, which is slow and extremely restrictive.
But the power of sentient beings’ thoughts is infinite.
It will not be like an innate spiritual treasure. When it reaches a certain level, heaven and earth will no longer nurture it.
Shinto is the glimmer of hope left for all living beings.
"Qiankun Ding..."
As an innate treasure transformed from the chaotic green lotus pod, the Qiankun Ding has the ability to turn acquired things into innate things, but it is unable to supply the entire prehistoric world.
It takes hundreds of years to refine a low-grade innate spiritual treasure.
It takes thousands of years to refine a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure.
It takes thousands of years to refine a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.
And refining a top-quality innate spiritual treasure requires one Hui Yuan.
Although Xuan Chen has not practiced the method of killing three corpses, he has studied and figured it out. If he wants to carry the three corpses of the quasi-sage, he needs at least a high-grade innate spiritual treasure.
The middle-grade and low-grade innate spiritual treasures cannot carry the three corpses of the Quasi-Saint at all.
Therefore, even if the Qiankun Cauldron is fully powered and continuously refined, it will still be far from meeting the needs of all sentient beings in the wild.
In fact, most of the sources of innate spiritual treasures come from the chaos spiritual treasures in the hands of the Chaos Demon God. After being broken by Pangu, they were conceived through heaven and earth.
This is also the reason why the Karma Demon God wanted to take back the red hydrangea.
"Hunyuan Golden Immortal..."
Xuan Chen also thought about giving up the method of killing three corpses and letting all sentient beings in the ancient world follow the path of Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
But it turned out to be unrealistic at all.
If the path of Hunyuan Golden Immortal is so easy to follow, there will not be only a few people among the three religions who follow this path.
Yunxiao has obtained the origin of Qiankun Patriarch.
Kong Xuan was born with the innate Qi of the five elements, and also obtained the origin of the Yin and Yang ancestors.
Xuan Chen received gifts from Immortal Yang Mei and many opportunities.
Even though his talent is as outstanding as many treasures, he failed to embark on the path of Hunyuan Golden Immortal. Instead, he chose the path of killing three corpses. The reason is that he lacks foundation.
Unless one obtains the origin of the Chaos Demon God, it will be difficult to embark on the path of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
Otherwise, only by cultivating Rahu's demonic path, using all living beings as material, and ultimately causing quantitative changes to lead to qualitative changes, can there be any chance of embarking on the path of Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
That would completely destroy the order that was finally established in the ancient times.
"It seems you have figured this out too."
"The disappearance of the innate spiritual treasure will lead to the cutoff of the road to kill the three corpses. The road to kill the three corpses will be cut off. The path to immortality will also be cut off, and all living beings will fall into madness."
"Therefore, either create a new way of practice and continue the broken path."
"Either we need to find a way to transform acquired things into innate things, so that the method of killing three corpses can be continued and will not be eliminated by the times."
"In short, it is imperative to reform the old and make new things."
Taishang Laojun looked at Xuan Chen who was lost in thought and said with sincerity.
Actually, it's not just him.
Yuanshi, Tongtian, Jieyin, and Zhunti are all studying this matter, but in different directions.
Unlike other saints, these saints all established their own orthodoxy.
This matter is related to the continuation of the orthodoxy, so naturally we attach great importance to it.
Xuan Chen thought for a while and asked Taishang Laojun: "Uncle, this matter concerns all sentient beings in the wild. Have you ever asked Tao Ancestor for advice? From Tao Ancestor's perspective, there may be other solutions?"
The immortal system was created by Taozu, and the method of killing three corpses was also created by Taozu.
Therefore, Xuanchen placed his hope on Daozu.
"Of course I asked the Taoist ancestors about this problem, but the Taoist ancestors didn't have any good solutions. The method he proposed is the divine way that relies on the immortal way."
"But Shinto only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. It can only delay, but it cannot prevent that day from coming."
That day!
The day Taishang Laojun mentioned was naturally the day when many people with great supernatural powers fell into madness after their path was cut off. In order to achieve breakthroughs in cultivation, they practiced the devil's path and set off boundless killings.
It is even enough to destroy the prehistoric era, or lead to the coming of the Age of Ending Dharma.
Xuan Chen also didn't expect that Taishang Laojun had already asked Dao Ancestor for advice, but Dao Ancestor had no way to deal with it.
"What about Chaos?"
"What if we looked to chaos for resources?"
"Since the innate spiritual treasure is conceived from the fragments of the chaotic spiritual treasure, then..."
But just as he finished speaking, he couldn't continue.
In the chaos, there are countless chaos demons.
In the past, it took the combined efforts of the Nine Saints to deal with a Karma Demon God, let alone other Demon Gods.
If you don't provoke the other party, the other party may be wary of the Great God Pangu and won't take the initiative to attack Honghuang.
After all, there are only a few lunatics like the Karma Demon God.
However, it is impossible for you to snatch someone's Chaos Spiritual Treasure and they still sit back and ignore you.
If others do not offend me, I will not offend others.
In addition to humans, most Chaos Demon Gods also abide by this rule.
At the beginning, if the Great God Pangu had not used the Chaos Treasure to open the God's Ax and split the chaos, I am afraid that the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods would not have chosen to take action against the Great God Pangu!
Xuan Chen, the more I think about it, the more I feel that this problem has no solution.
Don't say that saints can suppress everything. You must know that saints rely on heaven and earth to exist.
If there is any madman who has cut off his path, he will destroy the ancient world and the way of heaven.
Even a saint cannot escape death.
The saint is supreme, but it is also relative.
All living beings are afraid of saints, and saints are naturally aloof.
However, if one day, the path of the ancient monks is cut off and they fall into madness, not to mention the saints, even the Heavenly Dao and the Taoist ancestors will dare to stop you.
Therefore, never replace the madman's thinking with your own thinking.
Luo Hu dared to explode the ancient earth veins.
The lich is measuring calamity, and the ancestral witches and demon saints are prone to self-destruction.
Donghuang Taiyi and Gonggong even dared to collide with the existence of Buzhou Mountain.
Although, there are reasons induced by the God of Karma.
There was also Lu Ya, who was forced to a dead end and dared to risk the disapproval of the world and release the ten monsters.
The leader of the Tongtian Cult in the original timeline was defeated one after another in the Immortal Killing Formation and the Ten Thousand Immortal Formation, and all his disciples died. He also had the idea of recreating the earth, water, fire, and wind to recreate the world.
Therefore, never underestimate the madness of a person who is in a desperate situation.
"Jie Yin and Zhunti want to use the method of relics to replace the method of killing three corpses, so they are obsessed with the power of reincarnation. If the accumulation in one life is not enough to step into the quasi-sage, they will only be in the second or third life..."
"The relic preserves the cultivation of the previous life, and reincarnation ensures that in the next life, he will still worship in Buddhism."
"The three Taoist religions also have their own opinions, but generally they are biased towards finding substitutes for the innate spiritual treasures. Yuanshi and I are both exploring the way in which acquired nature can counter the innate."
"Tongtian's idea is to have three flowers on top to carry the three corpses."
"It coincides with your idea of integrating the twelve-grade lotus platform into the three flowers."
After hearing Taishang Laojun's explanation, Xuan Chen realized that all the saints had already been aware of this problem and were conducting various experiments.
The Buddhist relics reminded him of the sequel to Journey to the West, in which Sun Wukong absorbed the power of more than a dozen relics to defeat Wu Tian.
Although the trajectory is completely different now, Buddhist research on relics should have achieved some results.
The reason why Yuan Hong's strength increased greatly was because of his reliance on relics.
As for the research on Sanqing.
Yuanshi and Taiqing were both good at refining weapons.
Especially Yuanshi Tianzun, he has refined both innate treasures and acquired treasures.
It's not enough for me to study the means of converting acquired spiritual treasures into innate spiritual treasures.
The idea of Leader Tongtian was probably inspired by Kunpeng and Yunxiao.
As the leader among the three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace, Kunpeng was really a poor man with few spiritual treasures, so both the good and evil corpses were cut out from their own origins.
One is Kun and the other is Peng.
The same is true for Yunxiao. Relying on his own origin and Qiongxiao Bixiao's origin, he killed three corpses.
Carrying three corpses requires innate things.
But you don’t have to be obsessed with innate spiritual treasures.
However, innate origins and innate spiritual roots are rarer than innate spiritual treasures.
Therefore, using innate spiritual treasures to carry three corpses will become mainstream.
Xuan Chen looked at Taishang Laojun, who had a calm expression on his face, and asked, "Uncle, I wonder if you, my master, and my second uncle have made any progress in their research?"
As a saint, his vision is beyond ordinary people. Maybe he has already achieved something?
However, Taishang Laojun shook his head: "So far, there has been no progress, which is why I want to ask you for a three-piece funeral set."
"Three things with the same origin, plus being contaminated with merit, there may be some differences."
"I see that you also have some experience in studying magical powers and techniques. Whether it is the Divine Fire of Ten Thousand Tribulations or the Magical Skills of the Seven Treasures, whether it is the method of fortune or the way of fighting souls, it can be said that it is ingenious."
"If you are willing, you can also study a thing or two. This is a great merit for the prehistoric people."
If a method to replace the killing of three corpses is developed, it is not an exaggeration to say that the merits can be said to be directly comparable to those of the Taoist ancestors, and that they will be worshiped by all the spirits in the world.
However, it is very difficult to do this.
Otherwise, there would not be only one Dao Ancestor in the ancient world.
Since the dawn of time, only one Taoist ancestor, Hongjun, and the demon ancestor, Luohu, have truly opened up a road to the sky.
As for the Buddha, the Buddhism that followed Zhunti was also born out of Xuanmen.
Among Buddhists, several quasi-sage monks are called Buddhas.
It's just putting money on your own face.
Only by opening up a path that leads directly to Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, completely breaking away from the cage of the immortal way and the demonic way, and allowing all living beings to practice, can we be qualified to be called the ancestor of a path.
Martial Arts? Confucianism?
Xuan Chen has seen a lot of self-opening courses, but it requires extremely deep accumulation.
Tall buildings rising from the ground are not just words.
If it were just for the fairyland, it would be easy for a saint to create a system.
But above fairyland.
It also has a direct access to the system of the Golden Immortal Realm of Hunyuan Daluo Realm.
Not to mention saints, even Taoist ancestors may not be able to open up the second path.
Even Shinto exists based on Immortal Dao.
