"Taiping Yaoshu" has proved that there is a relationship between witchcraft and Taoism.

The book also details the inheritance of the ancient witchcraft, and even lists the similarities and differences between the Daomen and the ancient witchcraft.

Although Daomen and the Ancient Witch Sect have a great relationship, there are still differences between the two.

Strictly speaking, the witchcraft inheritance should be a family of its own, not among the five immortals, let's call it the "Great Witch". The immortal inheritance of Daomen is developed on the basis of the inheritance of the Great Witch, so the immortal inheritance is called Wuzhu.

The relationship between witches and immortals is somewhat similar to the relationship between heavenly immortals and earth immortals.

Because of this, the Daomen records that the Emperor of Heaven was originally an immortal inheritance, and later transformed into a heavenly immortal inheritance with the help of the Taishang Dao Ancestor. Now it seems that it is not so simple, and the Emperor of Heaven should be divided into two stages.

The first stage is the stage of the ancient emperors. The major affairs of the country, in the worship and Rong, the sacrifice is responsible for the ancient witch religion, and the military affairs are personally led by the emperor, and there are Ying Long, Kiln, Drought and others under his command. At this time, the inheritance of the human emperor is the Great Witch. Because the great witch is similar to the immortals, there is a "Heavenly Emperor Law" in the world.

The second stage is the Heavenly Emperor stage. It was at this time that the Taishang Dao Ancestor turned into an immortal Guangcheng Patriarch. The Emperor of Heaven asked the Taishang Dao Ancestor that the witch sect began to weaken, and the Dao Sect arose.

"Taishang Daozu Kaitianjing" recorded: "When the Emperor of Heaven, Taishang was a teacher, and he was called Guangchengzi. Eliminate from yin and yang, as the Tao Rong Sutra. ”

Daomen believes that the Taishang Dao Ancestor has countless incarnations, and the Sanqing Patriarch is the three corpse incarnations of the Taishang Dao Ancestor, in addition, the Taishang Dao Ancestor will also cut out the incarnation of the Heavenly Immortals to enter the world, and there are different incarnations in different periods,

There are different images.

For example, during the period of the Emperor of Heaven, he was the ancestor of Guangcheng, and when he reached the big anniversary, he was Li Dan, who was known as the "old king". During the period of Guangcheng Patriarch, the Emperor of Heaven asked Yu Taishang. During the Laojun period, the Confucian holy master asked Yu Taishang.

Later, what can be recorded in historical materials is that another incarnation accepted the ancestor Heavenly Master as an apprentice and officially created the concept of Taoism.

The cultivation method of the Heavenly Immortals is very strange, every time they cut out the incarnation of the Heavenly Immortals and enter the world, as long as they can ascend twice, they can cultivate to a great increase. In this way, the Supreme Dao Ancestor has actually ascended more than once, and his realm cultivation has reached a point where mortals cannot guess, even beyond the scope of the Three Tribulation Immortals.

Under the guidance of the Taishang Dao Ancestor, the Emperor of Men gave up the Great Witch Inheritance and turned to the Daomen Inheritance, and finally successfully ascended from the Emperor of Men to the Emperor of Heaven.

It was precisely because of the ascension of the Emperor of Heaven and Ying Long that the great witches grasped the power, which led to the later witch infighting.

As the subordinates of the Emperor of Heaven, the Great Witches are also the Great Witch Inheritance, because they are similar to the Immortal Inheritance, so the Great Witches have existed for far more than a hundred years, and they have been active in the world for hundreds of years.

However, the Great Witch Inheritance is not completely equivalent to the Immortal Inheritance, and the biggest difference is that the Great Witch Inheritance does not have the concept of the Kingdom of God. Most of the time, they use the cave heaven instead of the divine kingdom to avoid the heavenly tribulation, which is similar to the earth immortals.

Another example is that the body of the great witch is huge, like the real body of a human immortal, which is similar to a human immortal.

In a sense, the acquired immortal is the inheritance that is most like the inheritance of the Great Witch.

The Great Witch Inheritance is very general and inclusive, so the eleven Great Witches have their own strengths, and they are not carved out of one mold. It's very similar

The Dao Gate before the integration of the Xuansheng Inheritance is also the Earth Immortal Inheritance, and it also has its own strengths, differences, and even world differences.

It is Wu Luo who really owns the kingdom of God, because Wu Luo, as the last leader of the ancient witch sect, when she was in charge of the witch sect, the ancestral heavenly master had risen, and Wu Luo would naturally follow the example of the Heavenly Emperor to learn from the Daomen, and improve himself, and began to transform into an orthodox immortal inheritance. Wu Luo is the first witch to open his eyes and see the Dao Gate, so except for Wu Xian and Wu Yang, only Wu Luo did not really die, but survived to this day.

Qi Xuansu closed the book in his hand and had a kind of enlightenment.

In the past, he didn't quite understand why the immortals were on top of the earth immortals, after all, the earth immortals had "innate five queens", but the heavenly immortals were gone, could it be that the heavenly immortals had the means to reverse the universe and Sumeru mustard seeds? At most, each has its own strengths, how can it be regarded as a hard pressure on the earth immortals?

Now Qi Xuansu somewhat understands Xuansheng's analogy. The celestial immortal is a butterfly, and the earthly immortal is a wingless insect, although the insect is very powerful and can even hunt butterflies under certain conditions, but it is still inferior to butterflies.

The key to the immortals is to cut out a variety of different avatars, in addition to the three corpse avatars, there are also immortal avatars. Although it is difficult to ascend, it is easier than surviving the catastrophe. In this case, the second ascension is not difficult to achieve, and the advantage of the immortals is even more obvious.

In fact, the reason is also very simple, the distinction between high and low inheritance is not based on the strength of combat power, but to see who can go higher, go farther, and get closer to the "Tao".

There is no doubt that a celestial immortal with a second ascension is better than a heavenly immortal with a "congenital five Tai."

"The earth immortals go higher and farther, and it is easier to become enlightened. It's like butterflies, although not as strong as some wingless insects, but they can leave the trees and explore the vast world, and those wingless insects can only look at the branches and sigh.

To sum up, although the combat power of the earth immortals is strong, they will not "fly" and are destined to sit in the city of sorrow, so many earth immortals will eventually choose to give up the "innate five Tai" to become heavenly immortals.

The word "acquired" of the acquired immortals is also reflected here.

Of all the Taoist terms, acquired is inferior to innate. Qi Xuansu is obviously stronger than Zhang Yuelu, but why is Zhang Yuelu congenital? And Qi Xuansu is acquired? The reason is that Zhang Yuelu's prospects are better, there is no end, it is innate. The man-made immortal stops the immortal, there is no second ascension, and there is no way to go further, but it is not the day after tomorrow.

The core of the acquired immortals is the "Heart of the Immortal Stone", which originated from the "Immortal Stone", and on the basis of the inheritance of the Great Witch, it integrates the inheritance of the five immortals of the Daomen.

In other words, Qi Xuansu has a very deep relationship with the Ancient Witch Sect, and it is no secret that every time he improves his cultivation, he has to go to the Lingshan Cave Heaven, and he has to see so many great witches.

The Quanzhen Dao Patriarch also has a deep relationship with the ancient witch sect, and Shi Hengbo is a clear proof of this.

It is known that Qi Niang has a close relationship with the two earth masters, she was picked up by the previous generation of earth masters, and she is the sister of the current generation of earth masters, Qi Niang got the "Heart of the Immortal Stone" in the Lingshan Cave Heaven, and handed over the "Heart of the Immortal Stone" to Qi Xuansu.

If there is a hand behind Qi Xuansu's rise that is secretly pushing, then this hand must come from the Quanzhen Dao.

Qi Xuansu's purpose was simple, he wanted to know why.

All the gifts are

The price is secretly marked.

Qi Xuansu wanted to know if he could afford the price. If you can't bear it, then it's better to find a way to deal with it sooner than to be caught off guard when the situation is approaching.

Regarding this point, Qi Xuansu once asked Qi Niang, and not surprisingly, Qi Niang did not give a clear answer.

Qi Xuansu could only check it by himself, and the Lingshan Cave Heaven of the Ancient Witch Sect was undoubtedly an excellent entry point.

The Lingshan Cave Heaven was on the verge of collapse, whether it was the records of the Dao Gate or what Qi Xuansu saw in his dreams.

The portal to the Spirit Mountain Cave Heaven has been destroyed, and other paths can only be found.

Lingshan Cave Heaven is a huge cave heaven comparable to Kunlun Cave Heaven, of course, there is more than one entrance and exit portal, but these "side gates" are often unknown, and after experiencing great changes, some portals have also been destroyed, and some portals have deviated from their original positions.

Qi Niang must know the gateway to Lingshan Cave Heaven, and the Yao family also knows, but they won't tell Qi Xuansu easily.

It's better to have a father and a mother than to have oneself.

Qi Xuansu could only look for it by himself and pinned his hopes on Tianshui Yixinlou.

did not disappoint Qi Xuansu, and the collection in Tianshui Yixin Building really mentioned Lingshan Cave Heaven.

Lingshan Cave Heaven is the pinnacle of the ancient witch religion, which is built by integrating the power of the entire witch cult, because of the particularity of the great witch inheritance, so the Lingshan Cave Heaven is different from the cave of the Daomen, and it has the characteristics of some of the kingdom of God, which is a very special kind of cave.

This is also the reason why the Lingshan Cave Heaven is on the verge of being shattered and has not been completely shattered for a long time, and it can even be "reflected" in Qi Xuansu's dream, which has some similarities with Wu Luo's divine kingdom. Or should it be the other way around

It is said that the divine kingdom of Wuluo imitates the divine supernatural of the Lingshan Cave Heaven.

This has to mention the problem of the inheritance of the Great Witch, its congenital insufficiency, although it is powerful, but the flaws are equally obvious, that is, a broken road, at most it can only reach the realm of one tribulation of immortals, and it is difficult for two tribulation immortals, not to mention the realm of three tribulation immortals and Dao ancestors. In this regard, the acquired immortals can be said to have perfectly inherited the characteristics of the Great Witch inheritance.

Because of this, the Emperor of Heaven chose to ask the Dao Ancestor of the Taishang Dao to change the way of inheritance and become a Heavenly Immortal. The rest of the wizards chose two paths.

The first way is to build the Lingshan Cave Heaven, which is similar to the heavenly kingdom on earth, and creating the most ideal immortal realm in the human world is equivalent to ascending. In essence, it already has the prototype of the later kingdom of God, and it has the characteristics of heavenly immortals and earth immortals opening up caves, which can indeed avoid the heavenly tribulation.

The second way is to refine medicine, to make up for one's own innate deficiencies and break through the shackles through external forces and external objects. That is, the origin of the first generation of "longevity stones". Miao Miao actually became the drug tester of Lingshan Great Witch, and died unjustly.

I have to admit that many of the ideas of the Ancient Witch Sect are extremely bold, and many Dao techniques are developed on the basis of the Ancient Witch Sect.

Speaking of the Lingshan Cave Heaven, according to the book, when the ancient witch sect was at its peak, there was also a saying of "ascension", but unlike the ascension of the Daomen in later generations, this ascension is artificial, and those who dedicate everything to the witch sect have the opportunity to be selected by the ten great witches, and then after the ascension ceremony, they successfully ascended, and became as tall as a giant like the ten great witches, and they have divine power.

At that time, the Ten Witches of Lingshan were respectfully called "ancestors."

Witch", and the Ascended One is revered as the "Great Witch".

In fact, the ascension of the witch cult is not essentially a death, but a trip to the Lingshan Cave Heaven, and the ascendant is not an immortal, but more like a pseudo-immortal.

In other words, as long as you find the Ascension Ritual of the Ancient Witch Sect, you can enter the Spirit Mountain Cave Heaven through this pseudo-ascension method.
