It is difficult to say whether a born immortal is powerful or not. For other immortals, it is certain that they have a high position and power. Therefore, even if you are lucky enough to break through the three disasters and nine tribulations and become an immortal, you will already be at the mercy of the heaven. After all, the heaven is very hierarchical, and the path is completely Explain the teaching.
Chanjiao's approach is in line with his own understanding of the Great Dao, but it fundamentally conflicts with Jiejiao's ideas.
Jiejiao teaches all kinds of people without distinction, and has disciples of all kinds, birds and beasts. There are many people who wholeheartedly follow the Tao, but they have made the world a mess. Since the world cannot tolerate them, they have to find a place to control these people, so I don't know who came up with such a bad idea, so they simply came up with a big collection, and that's how the god was conferred.
Gods have the lowest status in the heaven, and the conditions for becoming a god are too harsh, and the treatment is inhumane, which triggered a war between the two religions, but in the end they still returned to dust and dust, and the gods who deserved to be sealed slipped through the net. Not many.
So if there is a chain of contempt among the gods, then the ones at the top are undoubtedly the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, the Yuanshi Tianzun, and the Taishang Laojun, because of the rules between heaven and earth, and even the rules of heaven. , it was these people who formulated it.
There should be a physical saint among them. People who become saints are very powerful. No matter whether they are in heaven or in Lingshan, no matter how high their status is, their own strength will be respected by the immortals, so their status is relatively high. Outstanding for sure.
The next level down are people who have experienced three disasters and nine tribulations and become immortals. The Eight Immortals in Shangdong should belong to this category. As for their status in the heaven, it is hard to say, but they are definitely not as high as the immortals such as Taibai Jinxing. .
The next level down should be the loose immortals and earth immortals. Among them, there are also those officially recognized and not recognized. The ones recognized are often the land, mountain gods, and river gods canonized by heaven to protect the feng shui and encourage practice to enjoy the fireworks in the world. , as powerful as the Great Immortal Zhenyuan, and the treatment he receives is even worse than that of the Eight Immortals. He is already considered a powerful immortal with one foot in the espionage world.
What separates the Earth Immortals and Loose Immortals are the canonized gods.
They were recruited by the Heavenly Court, but their strength was low and they could not rely on incense to continue practicing. In addition to being immortal in the Heavenly Court, their own destiny was to be at the mercy of the Heavenly Court. It is estimated that these people have also followed the trend, and those who died before the list of gods were released. Those who are loyal ministers and righteous people will probably be very happy to be on the list of gods and have a good beginning and a good end. Those villains who are not dead and have ambitions to become immortals may be extremely unbalanced in their hearts, but they dare not have any criticism.
At the bottom are those loose immortals who have no foundation or connections. Qi Zhen guessed that the ingredients here are probably very complicated, including monsters, ghosts, humans, beasts, and even vegetation, and they may just be lucky enough to learn a certain type of " Those who follow the path of spiritual practice may not necessarily be considered orthodox to the Immortal family.
Any further down can’t be called immortal.
Humans, ghosts, beasts, demons and the like may have different strengths, but in the eyes of a true immortal, they are just ants.
Of course, the chain of contempt mentioned here is only a chain of contempt in low positions, not in terms of strength.
The best example of this is probably the Monkey King, the Monkey King.
Sun Wukong was originally a monkey, a beast. Of course, he was born from a stone womb, so it would be more accurate to say that he is a demon. After absorbing the immortal energy in the Water Curtain Cave of Huaguo Mountain, he became enlightened, which should be when he began to devote himself to Taoism. After asking about the process and Patriarch Bodhi, he should be regarded as a Sanxian.
This loose immortal did not rely on incense, but followed the path of becoming a saint from birth. Finally, after causing trouble in the underworld and the Dragon Palace, heaven completely paid attention to him.
Of course, everyone in the team who knew some of the secrets knew that things might not be as simple as they thought, but in short, after Taibaijin came forward and sealed Sun Wukong as Bi Mawen, there was no doubt that Sun Wukong was already in the family of Immortal Spectrum, and with Immortals who have experienced three disasters and nine tribulations are no different.
This can definitely be regarded as a step to the sky.
Then he disliked Bi Mawen's low status and returned to heaven, which was equivalent to removing himself from the spy record. The Jade Emperor followed Taibai Jinxing's advice and did not immediately surround him and suppress him. Instead, he made him the Monkey King. This is probably It is equivalent to making him the same existence as Zhenyuan Immortal. He is still a loose immortal, but he is labeled as under the jurisdiction of the heaven. Thinking about it, he knows that the Jade Emperor will not be so stupid as to write "Qi" in the immortal book. To disgust myself with the name of "Heavenly Sage", Sun Wukong should not be in the immortal spectrum at this time.
After he made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, the two sides completely broke up with each other, and the official hat was taken off. Sun Wukong, who had been suppressed by Wuzhishan for five hundred years, was still a Sanxian with the lowest status after he came out.
As proud as he is, in order to save his master Tang Seng, he had to hold his nose and swore sworn brothers with Zhen Yuanzi as brothers of the opposite sex. It's no wonder that Nezha lamented that it was not easy for the Great Sage.
"Of course, in terms of strength, the Great Sage is now a loose immortal in name only. No Great Luo Jinxian in heaven can defeat him. However, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. I guess the Great Sage has been under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years. I should think I understand something, but the price is that he is who he is now, I'm afraid he is no longer the person I know." Nezha sighed.
Everyone in the team stopped laughing and fell into silence.
Nezha was right. On the way to the west, the Great Sage was polite to everyone he saw. He was obviously extremely powerful. He could even count those from Tianting and Xitian who could beat him with one hand, but he was still beaten by those The Immortal disciples and the Buddhist mounts are in a state of distress, which actually explains the problem.
Of course, everyone in the team finally understood why Nezha could sneer at Immortal Zhenyuan, while the other party could only dare to be angry and dare not speak out.
"No matter how powerful a person is, unless he is as powerful as the ancestor Hongjun and Buddha, he still has to act under the established rules. The situation is stronger than others. The great sage understands this truth, but it is a little late. "Qi Zhen sighed.
"Third Prince, you just said that Chanjiao and Jiejiao are not so distinct within themselves. Can you explain it in detail?" Lin Biao suddenly asked.
"Well..." Nezha organized his words and said, "The teachings of the two religions are the foundation of religion, but the path to enlightenment is not certain. Can you understand this?"
Some people nodded, some shook their heads.
"That is to say, no matter which one of the two sects you are a disciple of, you must follow the orthodox cultivation method of Taoism to achieve Zhengguo." Nezha said, "For example, my master is Taiyi Zhenren, so I should be regarded as a Under the sect of Chanjiao, my practice is obtained according to the Taoism of Chanjiao, but I do not necessarily agree with dividing all immortals into three, six or nine levels. This only means that I was selected after being divided into three, six or nine levels. of."
Everyone understood this time.
"To give another example, do you know about the True Monarch of the Golden Dragon Ruyi Zhengyi Dragon-Tiger Mysterious Altar?" Nezha continued to ask.
Everyone shook their heads again.
"No, he is very famous in the mortal world." Nezha said, "His real name is Zhao Gongming."
"God of Wealth?" Qi Zhen said.
"Well." Nezha said, "I was cursed to death by Jiang Ziya back then, and later he entered the list of gods and became a god. This person has a pretty good character. The important point is that he actually quite recognized the teaching method of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. If Tianzun had seen him back then, He would also accept him as his disciple, but he missed it due to fate."
"So the relationship between the two religions should be considered as one of you and one of me," Qi Zhen concluded.
"The legal system is different, but the moral system is the same." Lin Biao summarized it more incisively.
"That's it." Nezha nodded, "Speaking of which, I'm afraid that the noise you made in Miluo Palace will cause some trouble."
Hearing this, everyone frowned.
They are most afraid of trouble, especially when it comes from Nezha's mouth.
"It is a better situation to beg this girl to practice the method like Zhen Yuanzi gently. Firstly, you may be in heaven, and secondly, I am probably beside you. If you meet in the mortal world, the other party will only be afraid Maybe you can force me." Nezha said, "No one is willing to tell others about something as important as cultivation and enlightenment. I have told you the reason before. However, in order to save my life, I took the initiative to give up my cultivation context to others. There are many people who refer to the strong men and even become attached to the strong men's disciples in exchange for their own lives."
"Thank you, Third Prince. We must pay attention." Qi Zhen said, "But isn't the end point of Taoist practice inaction? Why are all of them so violent?"
"Inaction is the end point, not the process. Just like ordinary people, the biggest desire is to have pie in the sky without production. But if you don't produce before you reach that level, you can only wait for death." Nezha said in one sentence Understanding the essence of the matter, "Of course this situation is not bad."
Everyone's expressions were even more depressed, why are they still there?
"You are nominally from Xitian Lingshan. With this identity as a guarantee, no one will take the risk and force this girl to reveal her cultivation background. However, it is certain that she will be harassed outside." Nezha said, "I What I am more worried about is the Taoism you have shown."
Everyone knows that those who are not Taoists are clearly abilities brought from the preparation hall that do not belong to this world.
"Is there any problem?" Qi Zhen asked.
"There is a big problem." Nezha finally became serious, "Your Taoist method does not belong to any Taoist school that I know. Except for this little brother Lin, it is not a method that has ever appeared in this world, and it is not a method that has ever appeared in this world. Explanation: If the disciples of the two sects are extended to the entire heaven, there are very few who can accommodate you. You are very strong, but not strong enough. This is the root of the problem. Whether it is Taoism or Lingshan, They will not want a force that can affect their status to appear in this world."
