Almost the same steps, the same process.
When the world-destroying divine thunder, as black as ink, carried the world-destroying power that could destroy the world and destroy the world, it crashed down like a furious wave. Correspondingly, the World-Destroying Black Lotus soared into the air and grew larger, and the two collided together. Black light filled the air, swallowing up all light, like a black hole. The world instantly seemed to be dragged into a black curtain. Space with a radius of hundreds of millions of miles exploded again, and mountains and rocks were once again annihilated into nothingness. When the black light dissipated, the space and rocks returned to their original state. The World-Destroying Black Lotus once again acted like a normal person, fluttering a petal and shrinking back to its original position. And as expected, the essence of the World-Destroying Divine Thunder flowed to Xun'er.
At this moment, everyone understood that there were nine divine thunders of the Emperor of Heaven, and the nine divine lotuses were used to resist the divine thunder of the Emperor of Heaven one on one. So if you say that Ye Feng didn't know in advance that the Emperor's Tribulation would happen, even a fool wouldn't believe it. Considering the repeatability of this model, it can be said that Ye Feng has prepared all the thunder tribulations for Xun'er.
This kind of thing is truly unprecedented and unheard of. After all, it is common sense that the preparations that monks can make to overcome the tribulation and thunder tribulation are always unknown, so no matter how complete the preparations are, the possibility of death is still there, and it is very high. So the whole process was full of suspense. Therefore, monks will be very afraid and nervous about overcoming the tribulation no matter what.
Who can be like Ye Feng, who is even prepared for the thunder tribulation to be the heavenly emperor's tribulation. This makes overcoming the tribulation a mere process and a formality, with no possibility of danger at all.
This is really outrageous.
It's like an exam is coming soon and everyone is reviewing hard. After all, everyone doesn’t know what questions will appear in the paper, and no one knows what thunder tribulations will appear in the monks’ tribulations. Therefore, in order to get a good final score in the exam, which is to pursue better quality of tribulations, everyone must work hard. be prepared. But you are awesome. Someone told you all the questions on the paper in advance, including what kind of thunder disaster will occur. They even told you all the answers. What is mentioned here is that Ye Feng has prepared the nine divine lotuses. In the end, you only need to show up in the examination room, and someone will even write the answers for you. All you have to do is lie flat and wait for a perfect score. If this kind of thing is not against the heavens, what else can it be called against the heavens!
So there is basically no need to say the rest. As the ninth divine thunder of the Heavenly Emperor dissipated, Xun'er, with the help of Ye Feng, absorbed the essence of the last divine thunder, and the first stage of the divine transformation was over.
And next is Xun'er's inner demon calamity. As long as he has passed the inner demon tribulation, Xun'er will be a genuine monk in the realm of gods, and a future star with unlimited future, pointing directly at the Emperor of Heaven.
At this moment, Ye Feng looked at the calamity cloud in the sky with a serious expression. You know, even with the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Thunder that destroyed the world just now, Ye Feng looked calm and composed, and did not take the Heavenly Emperor's Tribulation seriously at all. But facing the inner demon, Ye Feng was still a little worried. After all, what Ye Feng could do for Xun'er during the inner demon tribulation was much less than in the first stage.
In fact, the so-called inner demons in the inner demon calamity refer to the obsessions in the heart.
Each of us has obsessions in our hearts, but they usually don't show up. We can suppress and hide the obsessions in our hearts to prevent them from interfering with our work and life. But in the inner demon tribulation, the heavenly tribulation will magnify the deepest obsession in your heart infinitely until you can no longer suppress or hide it, so that you must face it.
And everyone's obsessions are different, so everyone's inner demons are also different. Some people's inner demon is love, some is hate, some is affection, some is hatred, some is family, some is country, some is world, etc.
Regarding obsession, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, which have always been at odds with each other, have surprisingly consistent views on obsession, which is to give up and let go of obsession.
Confucianism is very straightforward: "No intention, no necessity, no solidity, no self." Among them, "no intention" can be understood as: no delusions. Needless can be understood as: not limited to rules and inevitability. Wugu can be understood as: non-attachment. Wu-I can be understood as: no ego.
Buddhism pays attention to getting rid of the three poisons of "greed, anger, and ignorance". The reason why these three poisons become poisons is that obsession and attachment are at work behind the scenes.
As for Taoism, Laozi directly pointed out the consequences. Chapter 29 of the "Tao Te Ching" pointed out: "Those who do will lose, and those who persist will lose." It means that those who make a difference will suffer failure, and those who persist will suffer damage.
Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism all agree on letting go of obsessions, so is it right to let go of obsessions?
My answer, no, is wrong. It should be said that Ye Feng’s answer is: Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are all wrong, at least, Ye Feng is wrong here.
Remember what I said? Although Ye Feng is a person who combines Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, he is also a great traitor to the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. One of the manifestations of his betrayal is reflected in his attitude towards obsession. Of course, there are many other aspects. This time I will just talk about the aspect of "obsession".
In terms of dealing with "obsession", Ye Feng before the Demon King might agree with the practices of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, but after the Demon King Ye Feng has completely rebelled against the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.
To put it bluntly, obsession is a kind of desire, but obsession is an extreme desire.
It might be clearer to use a mathematical model to explain it here. If desire is regarded as 100, then the good component is 50, and the bad component is 50, so desire is a mixture of good and bad, not without merit. This is why we must treat desires reasonably and not give up desires completely. As long as you understand what you can and can't do, you'll be fine
But obsession is different. The good component of obsession is 1, while the bad component is 99. To deal with such an exaggerated obsession with proportions rationally is simply not something that ordinary people can master. It can even be said that most people have difficulty mastering it in their lifetime. This is why Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism all advocate giving up obsession. There are two reasons: First, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are meant to be promoted to the public, so they cannot advocate things that ordinary people can never do. Secondly, letting go is always easier than holding on. This is absolutely true.
However, everyone must understand that desire is the driving force behind achieving our goals. However, ordinary desires can only achieve ordinary goals, while extreme goals can only be achieved through extreme desires, that is, obsessions.
For example, when Ye Feng was drawn into the demon world, he wanted to go back to the present and change the fate of all his companions. It was extreme. Ordinary desires were not enough. It had to be extreme, that is, obsession. We said before that the end of obsession is the devil, so Ye Feng became the devil, and because of his extreme obsession, Ye Feng became the devil.
In the past, Ye Feng said that Fatty had too much obsession and would become a devil if he didn't give up. But the funny thing is that Ye Feng became a devil before Fatty did. This is a kind of mockery and fooling of fate on Ye Feng!
