Chapter 40: The Eternal Life of a Saint
Although the immortality exercise created by Luo Yu is also not very satisfactory to Zhang Yuan, it may be more Buddhist than Hongjun, after all, Luo Yu's immortality is not based on the efforts of others, maybe this result is already very good for Zhang Yuan.
Next, Pangu continued to tell about the immortality exercises of several other saints, of course, among all the immortality exercises, Pangu may appreciate the most Taishang Laojun, but after Zhang Yuan listened to Pangu's story, he did not agree with Pangu's idea, perhaps because Taishang Laojun has put Pangu in a very high position, so Pangu will value Taishang Laojun so much.
In fact, Zhang Yuan had also heard of Taishang Laojun's immortality exercise, but in the previous contact, Zhang Yuan did not know that this was an immortality exercise, and this exercise was Taishang Laojun's very famous one-gasification and three-clearing.
In Taishang Laojun's cognition, Pangu is already the highest level that cultivators in this world can cultivate, of course, Pangu also did not achieve immortality, but Pangu was hatched from eternity, so Taishang Laojun felt that maybe as long as Pangu's experience was reversed, he could get real immortality.
In order to realize his eternal life, Taishang Laojun directly created the practice of transforming the three Qings into one gas, of course, this is just the beginning, after all, when Pangu fell, it was transformed into the twelve ancestors, Sanqing and all things in the world, since Pangu's life is reversed, then the first thing is to have the three Qings, and this, Taishang Laojun has also done it.
Secondly, it is the twelve ancestors and all things in the world, as for all things in the world, Taishang Laojun feels that it is not so difficult, because Taishang Laojun's own world is very big at the moment, in the world of Taishang Laojun, there are also very, very many materials, presumably relying on these, it is enough to imitate Pangu into all things in heaven and earth, what really makes Taishang Laojun feel embarrassed is the twelve ancestors, Taishang Laojun thought of a lot of ways, but did not succeed in recondensing the twelve ancestors, if you can condense the twelve ancestors, presumably Taishang Laojun can already reshape Pangu, and once the shaping of Pangu is successful, presumably Taishang Laojun will become the real first person in the wilderness, even if Hongjun and Luo Yu are in front of Taishang Laojun, they can only obediently bow their heads and pay tribute.
It's just that Taishang Laojun wants to condense the twelve ancestors and witches, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve, after all, Hongjun will never allow Taishang Laojun to do such a thing, so if Taishang Laojun wants to succeed, the first thing to do is to shake Hongjun's power, which is why Taishang Laojun was in a good mood after talking with Zhang Yuan before.
The reason why Zhang Yuan disagrees with Pangu's idea is because Zhang Yuan knows that Pangu has also not succeeded, even if there is really a person like Pangu, the avenue will try his best to destroy it, after all, Pangu is a lesson from the past, the situation at that time, Zhang Yuan also fully understood at this moment, if Pangu did not open the world at that time, then whether Pangu could get eternal life, the answer is of course no, because the avenue has formulated the fate of Pangu, so Pangu has no other choice at all, only this groundbreaking road is feasible, if Pangu does not do it, I am afraid that what awaits Pangu will be the real fall。
Of course, Taishang Laojun's exercises are not just stopped when they practice Pangu, but they are ready to return to their roots again after condensing Pangu, and return to nothingness, but Taishang Laojun's thoughts, Zhang Yuan feels that it is still a little too naïve, maybe when Pangu is truly condensed, the avenue will come directly to the door, and at that time, there are only two ways forward, fall or open the world in other Hongmeng spaces, how can this be immortality.
As for Taishang Laojun's exercises, Zhang Yuan did not argue with Pangu, but continued to listen to Pangu's narration, because through Pangu's narration, Zhang Yuan found that his understanding of the Tao was also a little deeper, and at the same time, his understanding of those saints was also deepened a lot, maybe one day in the future, these things could be used.
Yuan Shi Tianzun's immortality exercise can be said to be the most stupid one, of course, it may also be the closest to immortality, because Yuan Shi Tianzun thinks that the road is simple, so Yuan Shi Tianzun did not really create his own immortal practice, not that Yuan Shi Tianzun does not want eternal life, but Yuan Shi Tianzun feels that when all the exercises are practiced to the extreme, they can get eternal life, so Yuan Shi Tianzun's immortality practice is the "Tao Sutra" that he has been practicing.
Yuan Shi Tianzun's strength gradually fell slightly lower than other saints in the later years, but also because Yuan Shi Tianzun has only practiced the Tao Sutra, of course, it cannot be said that Yuan Shi Tianzun's idea is wrong, even if Pangu or Hongjun, they don't know how eternal life should be practiced, so what if Yuan Shi Tianzun's method is correct, but no saint will choose such a way of cultivation, because if you only practice your own exercises at the beginning, the strength realm will improve too slowly.
As for the Tongtian Sect Master, it seems to outsiders that he is the same as the Yuan Shi Tianzun, and he only practices his own "Huang Ting Jing", but its essence is different, because the two people's ideas are completely different, and the Yuan Shi Tianzun thinks that the conservative idea of going with the flow is right, so the Yuan Shi Tianzun established the Interpretation Sect, but the Tongtian Sect Master is different, since the Tongtian Sect Master can create a reforming sect like the Interception Sect, then his ideas are also more radical, so the Tongtian Sect Master believes that the real eternal life does not exist.
When Zhang Yuan heard this, he finally felt that there was a saint who was closer to his own thoughts, Zhang Yuan also thought that immortality did not exist at all, after all, in the current world, those saints, and even Hongjun had fallen, so it means that the previous saints' exercises were obviously unsuccessful, and the saint can be said to be the most powerful existence in this world, since their ideas have not succeeded, then who else can really succeed, Zhang Yuan has no other options.
The Tongtian Sect Master believes that the real immortality does not exist, which does not mean that the Tongtian Sect Master does not want to live longer, since eternal life does not exist, then how can he let himself survive all the time, the Tongtian Sect Master's idea is reincarnation.
The reincarnation created by the Tongtian Sect Master is not to go to the underworld to go to a journey, but the reincarnation exercises created by himself, and the reincarnation is not just to reincarnate oneself, but to reincarnate the entire Flood Continent, and even all the saints, since it is necessary to let everything enter the reincarnation, it is not something that the Tongtian Sect Master can do by himself, but the Tongtian Sect Master is a saint after all, and it is absolutely impossible to create a practice that even he can't practice, which happens to be the "Huang Ting Jing" of the Tongtian Sect Master It is believed that the Yellow Court is hollow, and the Yellow Court is the lower dantian of the human body, and the hollow is nothingness, so the Tongtian Sect Master began to evolve the entire universe in his own Yellow Court, so that the entire universe is constantly reincarnated in his Yellow Court, so that he can also be reincarnated with the continuous reincarnation of the Yellow Court.
Pangu did not give any evaluation of this thought of the Tongtian Sect Master, because this is a brand-new attempt, and after all, Pangu's strength has not been fully restored, so Pangu cannot fully calculate the feasibility of this method.
Everyone understands that the entire Honghuang Continent and even the Hongmeng space are not immutable, it is also like a living body, with its own growth and aging, correspondingly, it also has its own death, and its death brings a piece of nothingness, which also becomes nothing, and nothing does not always exist, the same it will be derived, and this is its reincarnation, the Tongtian Sect Master wants to constantly deduce reincarnation in the body to master the power of reincarnation, which is indeed a certain possibility, after all, there is no external force, how can nothing be derived, maybe this external force is the power of reincarnation, If he is really mastered by the Tongtian Sect Master, maybe he can really break out of the reincarnation of the entire Hongmeng space and achieve true immortality, but whether the reincarnation power in the Yellow Court is the real reincarnation power, no one knows.
The next thing is to guide the saint, the practice of the saint and the practice of Luo Yu have a lot of similarities, the same is to pay more attention to those weaker forces, the difference is that the saint directly believes in his body, and the belief is to let the strong power of faith change his body, so that his body is stronger and stronger.
The power of faith is discovered by the saints, the only power that can be continuously strengthened, any other power has its storage limit, if you don't reach your own realm, the power will definitely not grow all the time, but the power of faith is different, the power of faith is to enhance your own power through countless believers, and there is no limit to the storage of this power at all, as long as the number of people who believe in yourself is enough, then the more faith power you get.
Because the human race is an endless race, although the number of human races living on the entire desolate continent is insignificant to the power of faith needed to attract the saints at this moment, but through the reproduction of the human race, the number of human races will be endless, so as long as the saints are introduced to maintain the prosperity of Buddhism, you can let enough human races believe in yourself, and you will accumulate enough power of faith to lead the saints to believe that the power that this world can accommodate has its limit, once the power of faith in your body can exceed this limit, then you can successfully jump out of this world, and in the same way, you will get the eternal life you want。
The most incredible thing for Zhang Yuan is Nuwa Niangniang, because Nuwa Niangniang feels that the exercises she created may not be able to succeed in getting her eternal life, so Nuwa Niangniang hopes that this world can get eternal life, because the saint lives with heaven and earth, as long as the world is still there, her saint will not die, so Nuwa Niangniang secretly intervenes in the human race, so that it continues to develop its own race, hoping that in the future, human beings can successfully make this world immortal, or rather, human beings have found a way to leave this world, so among the human race, there will be some inventions and creations from time to time, so Nuwa Niangniang is the real promoter of science and technology。
