In Zixiao Palace.
Taoist ancestor Hongjun sits high on the cloud bed, surrounded by the ups and downs of Taoism and thousands of rules appearing. He observes the past, present and future in his eyes, and plays time and space, birth and death, and reincarnation in his palms.
The divine mind can understand all things and see the vast world.
Seeing the saints speaking, he said calmly: "Didn't you already foresee it? Why do you need to ask me?"
Did you foresee it?
All the saints frowned, greatly puzzled.
Only Saint Taiqing became more and more certain about his guess, and said, "Dare you ask what the ancestor said, but the innate spiritual treasures of the prehistoric era are extinct and the road is cut off?"
Dao Zu Hongjun nodded and said: "Ran Ye!"
Hearing Tao Ancestor's affirmative words, all the saints except Nuwa looked a little ugly.
Xuan Chen was also thoughtful.
The disappearance of the prehistoric innate spiritual treasure means that the prehistoric method of killing three corpses has no support, and there are very few people who can embark on the path of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
When the time comes, the powerful man at the peak of Daluo Jinxian will definitely fall into madness.
Even strong men in the quasi-sage realm would fight over an innate spiritual treasure that carried three corpses.
At the beginning, Taiqing's good corpse Taishang Laojun once told Xuanchen about this matter.
Of course he knew it too.
Except for Nuwa, the other five saints of the Six Saints of Heaven, who have never established any orthodoxy, are all leaders of great religions. They have countless disciples, so naturally they will be extremely worried.
If you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening!
But seeing the great road so close before our eyes, only to be stopped there because of an innate spiritual treasure, that is really more uncomfortable than death.
The calamity of the human heart!
The difficulty of blocking the road!
It will definitely drive all sentient beings into madness. In order to compete for an innate spiritual treasure, it is not impossible for the same family to turn against each other, brothers to fight against each other, and father and son to master and apprentice to fight against each other.
Jie Yin Zhunti wanted to replace the innate spiritual treasure with relics to carry the three corpses.
Unfortunately, little success was achieved.
It would take more than a dozen of the relics that Zhunti had gathered himself as a saint to push a Buddhist disciple at the peak of Da Luo to the realm of a quasi-sage.
The price is too high!
Both the Taiqing Dynasty and the Yuanshi Dynasty were exploring the wonders of returning nature to nature, but they had not yet achieved any results.
The leader of Tongtian wanted to use the three flowers on top to carry the three corpses, but there was no progress for the time being.
"Daozu, is there anything you can do?"
Although, when he was in Tushita Palace, he learned from Taishang Laojun that the great uncle had already asked Taoist Hongjun, Xuanchen still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Maybe Daozu has found other ways over the years?
Hongjun shook his head and said: "The way I think of is to replace the immortal way with the divine way. Unfortunately, the divine way is not perfect at the moment and cannot directly reach the realm of Hunyuan Daluo."
"It is even extremely difficult to achieve quasi-sage status with the blessings of heaven and earth."
"And the entry is very slow, and it is difficult to achieve results in a short period of time."
In fact, Xuan Chen and the saints don't understand this truth.
On the God Conferred Chart, many Daluo and Quasi-Sages whose true spirits are on the list have not made any progress in their cultivation for more than 100,000 years.
The only karma positions in heaven and earth that can have an effect on holy monks are the highest positions in heaven and hell, such as the position of the six emperors and the position of the ghost emperor of the five directions.
Others have little effect and little effect.
As for accumulating merit...
As the world becomes more and more perfect, it becomes more and more difficult to obtain merit.
Not as good as the relics of Zhunti!
Yuanshi Tianzun spoke slowly and asked: "Dare you ask me, teacher? What is the difference between this Shinto method and the Immortal method? In my opinion, this Shinto method is somewhat similar to the method of enlightenment of human saints. I wonder if it can be used as a human method?" Use your power to complete the divine way, and then supplement the immortal way to continue the broken path?"
The method of immortality is the foundation of Taoism.
All the saints present are practicing the Immortal Way, so they can be said to be extremely familiar with it and have a lot of insights into it.
But he knows very little about Shinto methods.
The only thing I understand is that it is related to the karma of heaven and earth, incense belief, merit and luck. It focuses on gathering the will power of all living beings and turning them into the foundation of one's own heritage.
This Shinto method was proposed by Taoist ancestor Hongjun, and Haotian and Yaochi were the experimenters.
Having been in the position of Emperor of Heaven and Queen of Heaven for hundreds of thousands of years, my cultivation level is not as fast as listening to Taoist ancestors preach a few times. It can be said that it is very useless, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it.
"The method of immortality lies in the essence and spirit."
"The sixteen characters of 'refining essence to transform qi, refining qi to transform spirit, refining spirit to return emptiness, refining emptiness to combine with Tao' can cover it all. It can cultivate the physical body, magic power, soul, and Tao fruit."
"And the core of Shinto is only the four words 'God and Tao are the same'!"
Taoist ancestor Hongjun spoke concisely and concisely, explaining to everyone the differences between the immortal way and the divine way.
Every word is pearl, every sentence is a motto, pointing directly to the core of the avenue, it can be called extremely mysterious!
"God and Tao are the same?"
Xuan Chen racked his brains, thinking about the meaning of these four words.
The "god" in immortality refers to the soul and spirit, but the "god" in Shinto refers to the mind and consciousness.
This uses spiritual consciousness to connect the great avenues of heaven and earth, and outlines them clearly with the help of the karma of heaven and earth and the power of all living beings, so as to understand the laws and mobilize the power of heaven and earth.
There is a huge difference between it and Immortal Dao.
On the contrary, it is somewhat similar to the Buddhist method of great wish.
At this moment, Xuan Chen's thoughts moved slightly, and he couldn't help but think of a sentence in his master's Tao Te Ching: "Man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature."
Taiqing Laozi obviously thought of this, raised his head and looked at Taoist Hongjun.
The other saints also had some insights.
But, I always feel that there is still something missing in this Shinto system?
"Visualize!"
But, I always feel that there is still something missing in this Shinto system?
"Visualize!"
Jie Yin blurted out, making all the saints suddenly realize it as if they were enlightened.
In order to use spiritual consciousness to connect the great avenues of heaven and earth and understand the mysteries of the great avenues, we must first materialize the big props and let them be clearly presented in front of everyone before we can outline, depict, and comprehend them.
The embodiment of the law is undoubtedly the many innate creatures born in the prehistoric times.
Zhunti’s innate Geng-jin way, Dong Wanggong’s innate pure Yang way, Xi Queen Mother’s innate pure Yin way, Di Jun’s innate Sun way, Xihe’s innate Taiyin way…
In a sense, they can be called Taoist gods.
Because they are innate beings, they are born with an innate way, and they have the possibility of turning it into laws and avenues.
Just meditate on them and you will gain something.
However, it is impossible for Daozu Hongjun not to understand such a simple truth.
In Shinto, there is no method of visualization, which is extremely abnormal.
Seeing the doubtful eyes of all the saints, Taoist Hongjun sighed softly and said: "It seems that you have also thought of this, but since the ancient times, more than 90% of the innate creatures have died, and the origin of the law has returned to the world. If you want to bring it back to the world, It is simply impossible to visualize it as an image of the Great Dao!"
The method of visualization also requires an object to be visualized.
Make bricks without straw.
Even if the Dao Fruit of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian turns from emptiness into reality and is placed in the long river of time and space, it does not come out of nothing, but relies on countless insights, accumulation, and foundation.
Refining falsehood into reality, refining emptiness into reality is not a day's work.
Taoist Ancestor Hongjun continued: "At the beginning, Pangu transformed the prehistoric world with the body of dirt, the wild world with the body of Tao, and the wild world with the body of cause and effect. Then the divine way evolved from the creatures in the wild world."
"Wild world?"
"The wild world?"
Although Xuan Chen knew that Pangu cut off the three bodies to eliminate cause and effect, and reduced and sought emptiness to prove the great road,
I have also speculated that since the prehistoric world evolved from Pangu Guishen, there might be two original worlds comparable to the prehistoric world existing in unknown places.
Shinto!
Wild world!
But this was the first time for everyone to hear about the two worlds juxtaposed with the prehistoric world.
One of them is actually the origin of Shinto.
All the saints were shocked.
"After Pangu opened up the wild world, earth, fire, water, and wind intertwined and evolved, giving birth to countless innate beings. The best among them are the three emperors of heaven, earth, and man."
"The Emperor Cangli clan used the power of heaven to open up the nine realms of heaven and shape the stars."
"It is the origin of Shinto!"
"The Emperor of the Earth, the Yue Jian clan, used the power of the tunnels to open up the realm of the Netherworld and establish a lineage of ghosts and gods in the Netherworld, including mountain gods, earth gods, river gods, etc., who are not inferior to the Cangli clan."
"The Nine-Headed Clan of the Human Emperor combed the barbaric wilderness, slayed the demons, created five-color human races, and quelled the chaos of heaven and earth."
"Later, the way of worshiping and becoming a god the day after tomorrow was created."
"These three people are the pioneers of the Shinto. They fit into the three realms of heaven, earth and man in the wild world. They call themselves God Emperors. They are comparable to the realm of saints. They are the three emperors of the wild world."
Ignoring the shock of the saints, Taoist Hongjun looked calm and slowly described the situation in the wild world.
The Origin of Shinto.
Comes from a wild world?
It now appears that many of the gods in heaven and underworld in the wild world were also established by Taoist ancestor Hongjun with reference to the Shinto system in the wild world.
Tall buildings rise from the ground.
Even if you are as enigmatic as the Taoist ancestors, you may not be able to open up the divine way out of thin air after opening up the immortal way.
It would be much more reasonable to copy and learn from it.
After all, human energy is limited.
Zhunti asked: "Tao Ancestor, since in the barbaric world, the three emperors of heaven, earth and man can be compared to the realm of saints, why don't we copy their Shinto system, visualize gods and demons, and realize that gods and Tao are the same?"
Hongjun shook his head and said: "The reason why the three of them can compare with the saint is because of the power of heaven, earth and man. Apart from the three of them, there is no one in the wilderness who can compare with the saint."
"Furthermore, the Shinto method of visualization has a drawback."
"That is, the visualizer can never transcend the realm of the person being visualized. If someone visualizes the sun candle in the realm of the God Emperor, he or she will at most reach the realm of the God King in the future."
Later, Taoist Hongjun told everyone about the Shinto system in the wild world.
The God Emperor corresponds to the realm of the Saint or the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.
God Emperor corresponds to Quasi-Sage or Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
The God King corresponds to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.
Shenhou corresponds to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.
The Divine Lord corresponds to the Golden Immortal realm.
The Lord of God corresponds to the realm of Xuanxian.
The gods correspond to the realm of true immortals.
As for the gods and below, there are the four mirrors of visualization, soul-containing, soul-sacrifice, and spiritual communication, which respectively correspond to the realms of qi-refiners, human immortals, earth immortals, and heavenly immortals in the immortal way.
The Shinto system has great flaws.
Innate gods are limited by their own Tao, while practitioners of acquired Shinto are limited by the innate gods they visualize.
This is also the reason why Taoist Hongjun only copied part of the Shinto system.
The flaws are too great.
All the saints frowned and frowned.
Obviously, the Shinto system in the wild world cannot replace the Immortal Dao system in the ancient world. It is just a reference. To solve the problem of cutting off the Immortal Path, you can only rely on yourself after all.
However, Xuan Chen is quite interested in this wild world.
Immediately asked: "Dare to ask the ancestors, how to get to this barbaric world?" (End of this chapter)
