Fuxi had successfully reincarnated, and Empress Nuwa breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, she was planning to return to the Wa Palace immediately.
His brother just reincarnated successfully, and after a while, he will be born into the human race, but this is just the beginning.
His brother followed the general trend of heaven and was born into the human race. He also wanted to help the human race prosper, so that he could successfully achieve enlightenment.
This process is not short, and it is destined not to be smooth sailing. Naturally, she has to keep an eye on the whole process to prevent any surprises.
But at this moment, the disciples of Saint Taiqing wanted to take her on a tour of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, which made her a little surprised.
If it was some famous mountain or river, it could be said that Li Changsheng wanted to take her to visit it personally out of politeness.
But where is the Six Paths of Reincarnation? This is the place of reincarnation. What is there to see?
Moreover, as a saint, since she has come to the six realms of reincarnation, she can naturally see everything in the six realms of reincarnation with a single thought.
But because of this, she knew that there must be some reason why Li Changsheng wanted to take her on a tour of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
"The Six Paths of Reincarnation is indeed the greatest creation created by the Great God Pangu since the creation of the world. I have longed for it, and this time I just have a chance to take a look!" said Empress Nuwa.
Her brother Fuxi had just been reincarnated, and it would still be some time before he was born into the human race. She was not in a hurry to return to the Wa Palace now.
She really wanted to know what the intentions of Taiqing Sage's disciples were in deliberately keeping her here.
Hou Tuzu Wu smiled and said nothing. Li Changsheng wanted to take Nuwa to visit the Six Paths of Reincarnation, but she did not follow.
She could also see that Li Changsheng must have some intention if he did this deliberately, and it might be inappropriate for her to be around him.
Under the leadership of Li Changsheng, the two walked through the Gate of Hell, walked on the Road to Hell, and crossed the Naihe Bridge...
The saint's trip was naturally an extraordinary one. The Ten Palaces of Yama heard the sound and rushed there, and they all stood tremblingly to welcome the saint's arrival.
Speaking of which, the ten palaces of Yama in the Six Paths of Reincarnation are all held by strong men of the Wu clan, so naturally they are no strangers to the Empress Nuwa.
Along the way, Li Changsheng basically introduced the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and occasionally mentioned some allusions, just like a tour guide.
Empress Nuwa couldn't help but wonder if she had overthought it. Could it be that Li Changsheng really took her on a tour of the Six Paths of Reincarnation just out of politeness?
"How do saints observe the six paths of reincarnation?" Li Changsheng suddenly asked after walking past the Wangxiang Terrace.
Naturally, he took Nuwa to visit the Six Paths of Reincarnation, not just out of politeness, but for other purposes.
However, this matter requires some preparation. Taking Nuwa on a tour of the Six Paths of Reincarnation is actually to prepare the ground for this moment.
"The Six Paths of Reincarnation is the place where living beings reincarnate. Now it has become an indispensable part of the ancient world, and its importance is self-evident.
Moreover, from what I can see, in these six realms of reincarnation, immeasurable merit has been gathered, and it is indeed a place of creation! " said the Nuwa Empress.
As a saint, she has personally visited the Six Paths of Reincarnation, so she naturally has enough knowledge about the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
What she said was not superficial, but went straight to the core of the Six Paths of Reincarnation and stated the most important aspects of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
"Every word of what the saint said is precious! The importance of the six paths of reincarnation is self-evident, and it is precisely because of this that immeasurable merit can be gathered here!
Saints should know that once this merit increases, it will naturally arouse people's covetousness. In the eyes of many living beings, this is a delicious treat! Li Changsheng said.
Just like what Nuwa said, the Six Paths of Reincarnation have become an integral part of the ancient world. This is also the greatest creation after the creation of the world by Pangu.
Not to mention how important the Six Paths of Reincarnation itself is, just the merits condensed in the Six Paths of Reincarnation are enough to make any living being covetous.
There is merit in maintaining the stability of the six realms of reincarnation, there is merit in detaining the souls of the dead, there is merit in judging the souls of the dead, and there is merit in reincarnating the souls of the dead...
It is no exaggeration to say
, from the moment of death to the reincarnation of the dead soul, merits will accompany it.
A living being may have very little merit, but in these six reincarnations, countless dead souls enter every moment.
This also means that in these six realms of reincarnation, merit is being generated all the time, and accumulated over time, this is such a huge amount of merit.
"It is indeed immeasurable merit! But you know, merit is not omnipotent, nor does it mean that the more merit, the better!" said Nuwa.
In the ancient world, if we say who has gained the most merit, she considers herself second, and absolutely no living being dares to recognize the first.
He created the human race and received immeasurable merits from heaven. In the end, he became a saint by proving the Tao in one fell swoop. Later, he refined stones to mend the sky and also gained immeasurable merits.
Because of this, if she has no say in merit, then other living beings will have no say.
"This junior really doesn't know about this, so please ask the sage to enlighten you!" Li Changsheng asked.
When the Suiren clan, the Youchao clan and the Mianyi clan became enlightened, he also gained some merit, but he did not use the merit to improve his cultivation.
Later, it was from the mouth of the Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth that he realized that merit is not omnipotent, but has limitations.
However, in his view, even if merit has limitations, its importance is still self-evident.
Moreover, in his understanding, many living beings gained immeasurable merit and virtue when they became enlightened.
Not to mention anything else, just like the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors who will lead the great prosperity of the human race, who did not achieve immeasurable merit and virtue before finally becoming enlightened in one fell swoop.
However, the meaning of Nuwa's words was somewhat different from his understanding, and there was probably a secret hidden in it that he didn't know.
"Take us saints, for example, who have obtained immeasurable merits when we attained enlightenment and became saints, so many living beings think that we became saints due to merits.
In fact, this is not the case. First of all, we have reached the level of cultivation and realm, and then we can achieve enlightenment and become emperor by doing things that are recognized by Heaven.
The boundless merits sent down by Heaven are actually a kind of recognition, and the amount of merit is actually the degree of recognition of Heaven for us! " said the Nuwa Empress.
In her explanation, merit comes from the way of heaven. When heaven sends merit, it is actually the things that living beings do that are beneficial to heaven and earth.
For example, she created the human race, and the three Qing Dynasties each established the Human Sect, the Chan Sect, and the Jie Sect, which is a great contribution to heaven and earth.
Whether the merits sent down by heaven are more or less actually represents how helpful your actions are to heaven and earth.
If the help is great, like these saints, they will be recognized by heaven and earth, and thus gain the opportunity to control the authority of heaven and earth.
Because of this, after they attained enlightenment and became saints, they were also called Heavenly Saints, because they were able to wield great Heavenly authority.
Merits can be accumulated slowly. As long as you continue to do things that are beneficial to heaven and earth, your own merits can gradually increase.
However, the authority of heaven cannot be accumulated. The number of authority of heaven originally controlled will not increase due to the increase of one's own merit.
"That's it! I didn't expect that there is such a secret among merits!" Li Changsheng sighed.
What Nuwa said seems very complicated, but if you look closely, you will see that it is actually very simple.
In short, when a living being does something and is recognized by Heaven, and brings boundless merit, it is actually equivalent to the authority of Heaven.
According to the size of the contribution to heaven and earth, a simple division can be made to correspond to the realm of cultivation.
The things that saints do make great contributions to heaven and earth, so they can hold the authority of heaven at the saint level and become saints of heaven.
Another example is the Suiren clan and other three human ancestors. What they did also contributed to heaven and earth, but the power of heaven they could control could only reach the Daluo Jinxian level.
If you don't choose to use merit to improve your cultivation, just like him, it is actually equivalent to giving up the authority given by heaven.
If you want to continue to improve your cultivation level, it is not impossible. That is to practice normally.
Slowly break through the realm.
And like the three Suiren clan members, improving one's cultivation with merit is equivalent to accepting the authority given by heaven.
The authority given by Heaven is the level of Daluo Jinxian, so the three of Suiren family can only cultivate to the level of Daluo Jinxian.
If the Suiren clan wants to make progress again, even if they continue to gain merit, they will not be able to improve their cultivation level at all.
Unless the three Suiren clans do something beneficial to the world and surpass the past, they can continue to improve their cultivation.
Because of this, Empress Nuwa said that merit is not omnipotent, and even if you work hard to accumulate boundless merit, it will not be of much use.
The reason why Empress Nuwa said this is naturally related to the Six Paths of Reincarnation, because in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, immeasurable merits are condensed all the time.
But these merits are scattered and are gathered together after the reincarnations of dead souls one after another.
Reincarnating a dead soul naturally contributes to heaven and earth, so it can gain merit, but the heavenly authority obtained by this action is very low.
In other words, even if countless dead souls are reincarnated, they can indeed gather immeasurable merit, but they will not be able to cultivate themselves to a very high level.
It was only at this time that he understood this truth, and some of the doubts in his heart were completely solved at this time.
Thinking about it, since merits are produced all the time in the six paths of reincarnation, it is not difficult for the Houtu ancestor shaman to cultivate the shaman clan.
With boundless merits and virtues, if one could cultivate unlimited substitute skills, it would be easy to cultivate some strong men from the Wu Clan.
Not to mention other things, how difficult is it for dozens of Daluo Jinxian and even several quasi-sages in terms of their merits in the six paths of reincarnation?
But in fact, since the war between the two lich clans, the witch clan has never regained its former strength, and has even become weaker and weaker.
If there really was a way, how could the Houtu Ancestral Witch just sit idly by and ignore the Witch Clan?
"Tell me! What's going on with you? If you don't tell me, I will return to the Wa Palace!" said the Nuwa Empress.
When Li Changsheng asked her what she thought about the Six Paths of Reincarnation, she was already sure that Li Changsheng definitely had some other purpose.
"There is indeed something going on, so we invite the saint to go to the eighteenth level of hell!" Li Changsheng said.
