Chapter 187: Turning Gods into Mortal Cultivation Methods
Inside the Temple of Pain.
Under the gaze of the Seven Deep-Diving Monks, including the Heavenly Immortal Venerable, the Mother of Pain, Zhong Ran, Thunder, Chengsheng, and Yi Guang and Ban Xu, a black shadow appeared from the Great Dome on the Shinto Ding, which was infused with the 'Power of Pain'.
The moment the black shadow appeared, the eyes of all the monks present showed a look of shock.
This hint of shock was seen in the eyes of Cheng Sheng.
At the same time, a guess in his mind was also verified:
In the Temple of Pain, almost all the Deep Dive Monks on the Xuanwu Star gathered, but none of these monks were the 'Black Shadow'.
From this, it can be seen that the 'Black Shadow' Daoist is most likely on another planet.
At the same time, this also shows that the Shadow Pavilion is likely to be an extremely powerful organization, with members spread across various planets in the universe.
The power of the Shadow Pavilion should not be underestimated.
Shinto Ding.
While thinking about it, the black shadow took the initiative to speak: "Yo, what is the situation with Daoyou, why are there so many people around this time?" ”
"They're all friends."
After Cheng Huo replied casually, he went straight to the point and said, "The main reason for contacting the seniors this time is to inquire about the 'Star Field Teleportation Array'. ”
"Didn't I tell you everything, the 'Star Field Teleportation Array' is extremely difficult to arrange." Shadow Chong Cheng said: "Even if I know how to teach the formation to the Daoist, the Daoist doesn't have enough resources and materials, and he can't arrange it." ”
"Coincidentally."
Cheng Sheng patted the storage bag on his waist and placed some of the formation materials snatched from the pseudo-human planet in front of the Shinto Ding.
He explained: "Some time ago, I happened to accidentally get some of the materials used to arrange the 'Star Field Teleportation Array', and then I also learned how to arrange the teleportation array. ”
"It's just that I didn't pay much attention to the method of arranging the formation, and I probably only memorized about two-thirds of the part."
"So I have laid out the formation, whether it can be used normally is not yet known, and now I ask my seniors to help correct the mistakes."
As he spoke, Cheng Huo took out from his storage bag the notes he had written down from the puppet planet about the arrangement of the 'Star Teleportation Array'.
He presented the note in front of the Shinto Ding, and said in a respectful tone: "Please also ask the seniors to look at it!" ”
"Okay, then I'll show you it."
The black shade replied, followed by a long silence.
During this time, the monks in the Temple of Pain remained silent, lest their voices interfere with the Black Shadow's thinking.
After a while, he saw a black shadow and said, "Fellow Daoist, if I'm not mistaken, your teleportation array should have come from scientific and technological civilization, right?" ”
Cheng Sheng nodded and praised: "Seniors have good eyesight!" ”
The black shadow continued: "The techniques and materials used by the scientific and technological civilization to arrange the 'Star Field Teleportation Array' are different from our cultivation civilization. ”
"After all, I'm a monk, so I don't know much about the method of arranging the teleportation array of the technological civilization."
The Black Shadow emphasized, "So, I can only briefly point out the problems that exist in this teleportation array, and I can't help correct them. ”
Cheng Xingying said: "Seniors, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”
The black shadow said: "Since I only helped Daoyou point out the problem this time, and I can't help solve it, I won't accept the additional 'power of pain', and this time you will be free." ”
"Daoyou's 'Star Field Teleportation Array', due to defects in the layout technique, cannot be teleported to a specific planet when teleporting."
"In short, it can only be teleported randomly, and it can be transmitted wherever it goes."
"Besides, since it is a random teleportation, Daoist friends have to consider whether there is another 'Star Field Teleportation Array' on the destination planet."
"If there is no teleportation array on the destination planet, then the teleportation of Daoyou is one-way, and there is no return."
"Of course, there is a problem of no return, but it is not necessarily impossible to solve it."
At this point, the black shade suddenly fell silent, as if waiting for something.
Cheng Huo understood the meaning, and immediately looked around and said, "Everyone, the rules of the Shadow Pavilion: every time you ask a question, you need to pay a certain amount of 'Pain Power' as a fee. ”
When she heard that she would have to pay an additional 'power of pain', the Mother of Pain was not happy.
She interjected: "I won't bother my seniors to answer this question. I have a formation called 'Six Paths of Reincarnation', which has the function of two-way teleportation. ”
"With this array combined with the 'Star Field Teleportation Array', you can easily travel between two different planets."
"Six reincarnation formations" The black shadow responded: "This formation, I have also heard a little that it is said that the cultivators of the Transformation Stage cultivate, and if there is this formation, it can be said that the result is twice the result with half the effort!" ”
"Now that you've solved the problem of two-way teleportation, I won't dwell on it anymore."
The black shadow turned to Cheng Huo and said, "Then Cheng Daoist, do you have any other questions to ask?" I'm going to leave without me. ”
Chengsheng was silent.
Since the Puppet Planet has been in the party, he has survived the layout methods and materials of the 'Star Field Teleportation Array'.
Although the teleportation array is not complete, and it is impossible to determine the destination of the teleportation, it is indeed perfectly fine to escape the invasion of unspeakable creatures and use it to save lives.
Now that his worries have been solved, he has turned his attention to the practice after the deep diving period.
Thinking of this, Cheng Sheng subconsciously glanced at the 'Li Aotian' Taoist who followed him, but did not actually exist.
Ten thousand years ago, the real Li Aotian once said to Cheng Huo: If a monk in the deep diving period wants to break through to the stage of transforming into a god, there are the cultivation methods of 'turning gods into demons' and the cultivation methods of 'turning gods into gods'.
Zhen Li Aotian is following the path of 'turning gods into gods', and monks who follow the cultivation method of 'turning gods into gods' need to find a thing as their totem and use the totem to absorb the power of indescribable creatures.
When monks absorb the power of unspeakable creatures, they will be more or less polluted to a certain extent.
But with totems it's different.
With the totem, the monk can transfer his own pollution to the totem, so that he can successfully break through the bottleneck of the transformation period.
This is the core of the practice of 'turning gods into gods'.
Then there is the practice of 'turning gods into demons'.
Since Li Aotian is taking the path of 'turning gods into gods', he doesn't know much about this Fa.
Thinking of this, Cheng Huo asked at the black shadow: "Senior, I don't know if you have heard of the 'Turning Gods into Demons' cultivation method?" ”
"Turning gods into demons?"
Black Shadow was stunned when he heard this: "I've only heard people talk about the 'Turning Gods into Gods' cultivation method and the 'Turning Gods into Mortals' cultivation method, but I've never heard of any 'Turning Gods into Demons', Fellow Daoists, don't be deceived." ”
Haven't you heard of 'turning gods into demons'?
Nearly 20,000 years have passed since the era in which the Daoist friend of Zhen Li Aotian lived.
Therefore, it is not surprising that practices such as 'turning gods into demons' will be lost.
In this case, we do not go deep into it when we live.
Instead, he asked, "Can the senior elaborate on the practice of 'turning gods into mortals'?" ”
"Yes." The black shadow demanded, "But in exchange, you have to tell me how to arrange the Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation, and then I won't charge the fee for this consultation." ”
Cheng Huo didn't respond, just glanced at Mitian Immortal Venerable, after all, the arrangement method of the Six Dao Reincarnation Array was only available to Mitian Immortal Venerable.
The latter replied loudly: "It's just a spell for a while, and if I can exchange it for information, I am naturally willing to do it." ”
With that, he patted the storage bag on his waist, took out a blank jade slip from it, and pasted it on his forehead.
Leaning less, Mitian Immortal Venerable threw the jade slip towards Da Ding and said, "Senior, this jade slip is all the content of the six reincarnation arrays, you can check if there is any error." ”
"Hah, no need." Black Shadow smiled: "Although I don't know you, I can trust Chengdaoyou, so there is no need to check." ”
As he spoke, the black shadow told everyone about the steps of the 'Turning Gods into Mortals' cultivation method.
"Compared with the 'Turning Gods into Gods' cultivation method, the 'Turning Gods into Mortals' cultivation process is more complicated, and the conditions for achieving it are more demanding."
"The 'Turning Gods into Mortals' cultivation method is divided into two steps in total."
"The first step is enlightenment, and the practitioner needs to dissipate the cultivation of the whole body and comprehend the rules of something as a mortal."
"There is no limit to the types of things: playing chess, cooking, drinking tea, or even killing, you can learn from these things."
"After the Tao is attained, the second step can be carried out: aspiration - the so-called aspiration, that is, the practitioner needs to make a great aspiration from the heart, sincerely, for the benefit of all mortals on the planet, to make a great aspiration, and this ambition does not require you to fulfill it, but it must be made from the heart."
"It is precisely because of this characteristic that cultivators with selfish personalities will never be able to follow the path of 'turning gods into mortals.'"
Need to make a vision for the benefit of all mortals on the planet?
This.
Cheng Sheng thinks that he is not a selfish person, but he is definitely not a good person, a good person.
Therefore, it is naturally difficult to make a grand wish for mortals from the heart.
Thinking of this, Chengsheng turned to consider taking the path of 'turning gods into gods' in order to break through to the stage of transforming gods.
Considering that nearly 20,000 years have passed since Li Aotian's practice of 'turning gods into gods', the details may not be what they used to be.
Thinking about it, Cheng Sheng rushed to the black shadow and said, "Senior, can you talk about the details of the 'Turning Gods into Gods' cultivation method?" ”
"Yes." The black shadow replied, "But before I talk about the 'Turning Gods into Gods' cultivation method, I would like to say one more thing in passing. ”
"That is, I don't recommend you to follow the path of 'turning gods into gods' practice."
"And the other Yuan Infant Cultivators around you, I also don't recommend you to take the path of 'turning a god into a god'."
"Why?" Cheng Huo asked.
"Because of the totem." The black shade replied, "The practice of 'turning gods into gods' originated about 20,000 years ago and reached its peak about 10,000 years ago. At that time, the number of monks who followed the path of 'turning gods into gods' was the largest. ”
"But as time went on, people gradually discovered a huge flaw in the practice of 'turning gods into gods': that is, the uniqueness of the totems chosen by the monks."
"As a result, the number of monks who followed the path of 'turning gods into mortals' began to decrease."
"For example, if I choose the 'stone' as a totem when I break through the incarnation period, then when the enlightened friends choose the totem, they can no longer choose the 'stone', and so on, and as time goes by, there will be fewer and fewer totems for the monks to choose from."
"Totem can't be repeated?" Cheng Huo was shocked when he heard this: "From 20,000 years ago to the present, even if there are thousands of monks born in the entire universe, there may be more and so many monks in the Transformation Period, I am afraid that I don't want to choose the sun, moon and stars, flowers and trees, everything in this world!" So don't we, the descendants, have no choice? ”
"Hey." Black Shadow smiled: "I really don't have a choice, but if you insist on taking the 'Turning Gods into Gods' cultivation method, then it is also feasible to borrow 'totems' from monks who have broken through to the Transformation Stage." ”
"However, there are also certain side effects of this: the monks who break through through the totem cannot continue to practice in the future because they do not have their own totem, so they can only stay in the transformation period for the rest of their lives."
"Therefore, the cultivation method of borrowing totems is generally the path that those who are close to their lifespan and are eager to break through to extend their lifespan.
"You can become a Taoist."
The black shadow said: "If I guessed correctly, the age of Cheng Daoyou should be less than 100 years old, right?" At your age, you definitely can't break through by borrowing the totem method. ”
Cheng Sheng said helplessly: "I don't need to borrow the method of totem, with my character, I can't take the road of 'turning gods into mortals', I am not so selfless, and I can make grand wishes for mortals all over the world from the heart." ”
"Hey"
The black shadow smiled slyly and said, "Actually, I also know a kind of 'turning gods into mortals' cultivation method that is more crooked and heretical. ”
"Doesn't the second step of 'turning gods into mortals' say that we should make great wishes for all mortals in the world? That fellow Daoist might as well just kill all the mortals in the whole world, and leave only one person. Then, if you make a wish to the last person, it is equivalent to 'making a wish to the whole world.'" ”
"This is a trick, and to 'kill all the mortals in the world' is too unconscionable."
"All the things to do or not to do, it is up to the Taoist friends to decide, I will not persuade the Taoist friends. That's too damaging to yin morality. ”
"Yinde?" Cheng Sheng heard a new term from the mouth of the black shadow, and immediately asked, "Is there such a thing as merit in this world?" ”
"No, that's all I said." The black shadow said: "There is no creator god in this world, and people cannot be reincarnated after death, let alone go to a mysterious space, these are all superstitious sayings, don't mistake them." ”
"Also."
Black Shadow finally said: "If Daoist friends don't have anything else to ask, then I'll go first, I still have something to deal with here." ”
Cheng Sheng didn't do retention, but just hugged his fist at the black shadow on the big ding: "Congratulations to the seniors!" ”
When the Mother of Pain and others saw it, they also saluted Dading, and said in unison: "Congratulations to the seniors!" ”
"Goodbye, everyone!" The black shadow was no longer verbose, and disappeared from the top of the throne in an instant.
Inside the Temple of Pain.
After listening to the Black Shadow's narration, the Mother of Pain took the lead in speaking: "Fellow Daoists, now, we have a broken version of the 'Star Field Teleportation Array'. ”
"So what we need to focus on next is how to break through to the Transformation Stage."
"Just now, you also heard from the dark shadow senior: In today's era, it is no longer possible to follow the cultivation method of 'turning gods into gods'."
"And if you want to take the 'Turning Gods into Mortals' cultivation method, you need to kill all the mortals on the entire planet."
"So."
Speaking of this, the Mother of Pain's voice suddenly raised a few points: "If you fellow Daoists go to kill mortals in other places, I won't care, and I can't care about it, but whoever dares to touch the mortals on my territory, then don't blame my Mother of Pain for turning her face and denying people!" ”
"All in all: My Mother of Pain would rather not break through and not take the cultivation path of 'turning gods into mortals'! Nor will they slaughter mortals! ”
"Hey" As soon as the Mother of Pain's voice fell, the Mitian Immortal Venerable echoed: "I'm the same in Mitian City. Even if I can't break through to the god transformation stage in my lifetime, I will never fight the ideas of mortals, let alone allow others to wantonly slaughter my mortals in Mitian City! ”
