Chapter 1039: The Road
There are endless paths of cultivation, infinite paths, infinite dharmas, and there are no definite numbers, but in the final analysis, there are only two paths, seeking inward or outward.
The way of internal refining, seeing the world and all things, grasping the essence of it, condensing the inner scene, piling up the avenue, constantly pondering, the last way to the sky, eternal calamity is immeasurable.
Heaven and earth are endless, treasures are endless, many treasures are the condensation of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, after the practitioner obtains it, he does not need to go to enlightenment, he turns himself into a furnace, condenses the spiritual light of the Great Dao, and achieves himself.
After all, no matter what kind of treasure, the five forms of yin and yang, or wind, fire and thunder, are all in the Dao, and the last smelted is the Dao.
No matter how the cultivator plunders it, as long as the practitioner does not detach himself, those things will always be there, but through the cultivator's condensation, all kinds of Dao light will add more changes.
In this way, what really harms the latecomers is the latecomers.
The further back, the more barren the time and space of heaven and earth, because the Tao between heaven and earth has been seized by people, and the road to seek outside is becoming more and more difficult.
The era in which she was born was not far behind, at that time, the path of internal refining had just sprouted, and the path of external refining, although it had already shown drawbacks, between cultivators, each other's killing was getting heavier and heavier, and it was the norm to practice and compete with each other, and it was normal to kill and refine the enemy, but it was still possible.
In an era, in tens of billions of years, there can still be one or two Taoist masters who can condense the heavens and reflect the heavens.
The way of seeking from the outside is extremely fast, even if a mortal smelts a treasure that is powerful enough, he becomes an immortal in one step, and he will live forever from now on, it will be easy.
But the biggest drawback of this road is that if the soul is not tempered enough and the soul is not strong enough, it will overturn in an instant, or go crazy, gradually lose itself, or directly disappear.
On the other hand, as long as the mind is strong enough, you only need to keep smelting all kinds of treasures, you can quickly accumulate cultivation and power, there is no need to work hard to comprehend, as long as you smelt things, it will naturally be your own, and there is no so-called bottleneck, the reason why you encounter a bottleneck can only prove that your recipe is not wide enough, and the things you swallow cannot be reconciled enough.
At this time, either to find some treasures that can complement oneself, or simply to directly bombard a strong person who seems to be the opposite of the Dao fruit that he has condensed, and bombard and refine a dragon, after completing this experience, the bottleneck will naturally be broken.
Of course, there are also those who encounter the so-called bottleneck and do not follow the right path, but work hard to understand and learn from the world to make up for themselves.
This path is also feasible, but the problem is that it takes too much time, ten efforts, half gains, and it is denounced as an evil way.
If you want to talk about the way of external seeking, the biggest flaw, that is, the more things that are smelted, the more violent the heart calamity, the treasure is the manifestation of the Tao, you are in harmony with the Tao, so as to obtain great power, and naturally there is also the danger of turning the Tao.
Furthermore, the cultivation of this path, before jumping out of the avenue, is one's own, but not all of it is one's own, and there is a possibility that someone will take it away.
After the seizure, it can only be rebuilt.
Even if it is a strong person who has become an immortal, or even in an immortal, it is also a strong existence, if it is because of an accident, it is refined and cultivated, and it can only be re-cultivated, if it is demoted to a mortal, it is indeed faster to re-cultivate than a mortal, but the treasure that should be smelted is not missing at all.
Internal refining is different, it is very little affected by the environment, and the so-called loss of cultivation does not exist at all for them, because they themselves are cultivation, and knowledge is power.
If they are stripped of their strength, they can only be regarded as having their strength drained and can be easily replenished, unless they are thrown into absolute "emptiness", otherwise, the strong people of this path, as long as there is a little "power" or energy in the environment, they can take it and turn it into their own use.
But it is only "use", not "self".
The external seeking is that I am the heaven and the earth, and the internal refining is to control all things, and all things are for my use, not for me.
If this path goes to a sufficient height, it can only be killed directly, otherwise even if all its memories are erased, but as long as it exists and does not die, time passes, and what is erased will naturally be restored, as for killing and eating it, this kind of Dao Fruit of existence, although it is pretended to be heaven and earth, but it does not completely belong to heaven and earth, and has a strong self-color, if it is directly and rudely smelted everything into its own Dao Fruit, there will definitely be spiritual problems.
Undoubtedly, the path of internal refining, within the same level, has too many advantages, and the disadvantages are also obvious, the difficulty is higher, and the speed is too slow.
As a messenger under the command of the Demon Lord, she is also a leader of the era, fighting all the way, and finally condensing Luo Tian, reflecting the heavens, in her heyday, in the field of creation, she also walked a long distance.
The path she took was undoubtedly the way of seeking from outside, and she had smelted countless treasures and forged Dao fruits, and her soul was tempered thousands of times, so that she could control this extraordinary achievement.
And now, her heart has not retreated, but her strength and realm have declined greatly.
When 480 million thoughts were made, they could hold up the greatness that reflected the heavens, but now, a single thought is difficult to support alone.
Yes, she already has a plan in her heart.
After the catastrophe, the heavens and the earth changed greatly, and the complete heaven and earth were divided from the ocean to only a small pond, and the treasures bred by the Tao were also weakened in all aspects.
But since she is walking the path of the devil, she naturally has her own methods, and for the great demon, life itself is also a kind of treasure.
The spiritual light of life is sacrificed with the Demon Dao method, and it can condense the Dao light from the void.
If you want to say that the only problem is that no matter how many sentient beings are sacrificed in blood, they will not be able to defeat those treasures created by heaven and earth and naturally bred, and their quality is limited.
But nowadays, there are enough of them.
She thought about it for a while, and the Wood Emperor Realm in front of her, as the population cultivation base of Xuantian Sect, had a population of about ten trillion, which was not much, and in her time, some ordinary demon cubs were often in the magic weapon, opening up thousands of caves, and in each cave, life was calculated in trillions.
Those demon cubs, captive these beings, or let them pray, in order to provide wishing power, used to refine the magic weapon and even their own body, and if they encounter a strong enemy, they can be sacrificed in one breath to promote the power of the treasure.
It's just that later, with the establishment of Heavenly Court and the establishment of order, this kind of thing was directly forbidden.
As for now, the heavenly court has long collapsed, and history has long been broken, she will sacrifice the blood of this world first, more or less, and she can recover some vitality.
After all, at present, she is also very weak at such a thought.
For a demonic powerhouse like her, the extermination of emotions is the most basic, and she will not feel that this kind of thing is cruel, unless it is an existence at the same level as her, otherwise, the weak are just insects.
