Chapter 1140: The Power of Faith
The so-called "preaching" is cultural aggression, environmental transformation, pollution and assimilation of the origin of the outer world. Using the method of "preaching", the laws of the outer world gradually became the avenue of the monastic world, and that world naturally became a part of the monastic world.
The Outer Heaven Demon obviously had the same idea, which is why there was a tool like the War Fortress that was loaded with a large number of "ants", so that a large number of "ants" would invade the cultivation world with them. Otherwise, if the victory or defeat is simply determined by high-end combat power, with the characteristics of the cultivation world and the outer world, no amount of ants will be able to make any waves on the frontal battlefield of high-end combat power.
As for why Xuanyuan Dao Ancestor secretly sent the clone back to tell Ye Zan that this news would definitely be "widely publicized" by the Immortal Court in the future. That's naturally to grab a head start. After all, this is also a very rare opportunity for the development of the Yuqing Sect. Even if you don't say what kind of disciples you can recruit in the outer world, just the credit for "preaching" is enough to make the Yuqing Sect's luck increase greatly.
And for this matter, of course, Ye Zan is also very interested, after all, this is a good opportunity to earn a lot of merit. In addition, he had long been extremely curious about the outer world, even if it was not the real lair of the outer demon.
That's right, the passage opened by the Immortal Court, the outer world that leads to it, is actually just one of the "colonies" of the outer heaven demons. The group of Extraterrestrial Demons, or their civilization, has a strong desire to invade and expand. Before coming into contact with the monastic world, the Outer Heaven Demon had already occupied many worlds.
"I now understand the matter of preaching, but I am still confused about how to preach. The laws of these two worlds are different, how can we let people cultivate the Dao Law here?" Facing this problem, Ye Zan really couldn't think of a good solution for a while, and only hoped that Xuanyuan Dao Ancestor could give an answer.
"Well, that's true! If there are no other factors that affect them, just throwing the Dao Fa at them, they really won't be able to achieve any results in their cultivation. However, preaching is not the same as giving disciples, it is not so much teaching the Dharma as spreading a culture. After listening to Ye Zan's question, Xuanyuan Daozu also brought up the concept of a similar cultural invasion.
"Spread a cultural ......" Ye Zan heard this, and there was a vague understanding in his heart.
Xuanyuan Dao Ancestor nodded, and did not wait for Ye Zan to figure it out by himself, but continued: "You should know that in ancient times, in addition to the way of cultivating immortals, there was also a way of cultivating gods based on gathering incense. The so-called incense Shinto, boiled down to seven words 'believe in it, do not believe in it, there is none', as long as someone believes, someone worships incense, you can gather the power of incense to become a god. ”
Ye Zan also fully understood at this time, and immediately followed: "So, what you mean is that the key lies in the belief of the culture." ”
Regarding the incense fire divine path mentioned by Xuanyuan Dao Ancestor, Ye Zan has seen so many materials in the cultivation world, so he is naturally not unfamiliar at all. And about faith, it also reminded him of the cultural invasions that used to be in the technological world. For example, the Korean Wave that once appeared in Guhua Kingdom, those fans have really reached the level of belief in foreign idols, and I am afraid that they will not lose to those human bombs.
Of course, more importantly, through the point mentioned by Xuanyuan Daozu, Ye Zan also has a better understanding of "preaching".
In the incense Shinto, there is a side door called "obscenity", that is, those mountain spirits and wild monsters coax ignorant mortals to build temples for themselves to worship incense, so as to achieve the goal of becoming gods. In addition, some beings who were originally unconscious, after receiving a large amount of incense, gradually possessed a will and truly became gods that people worshipped.
Therefore, according to Xuanyuan Dao Ancestor, it is actually to regard the origin of the world as an unconscious existence similar to being worshipped. And through continuous offerings, people continue to provide faith incense, so that the origin of the world is unconscious, and gradually close to the appearance that people expect.
"Cultural Beliefs...... That's pretty much the way to say it. In short, as long as you believe in what it should be, and more and more people believe in it, it will slowly become what you think it is. Therefore, when it comes to preaching, it is not just for you to accept disciples, but to embed the concept of monasticism as deeply as possible into the culture of that world, so that everyone can be convinced of this fact. Xuanyuan Daozu said more clearly and bluntly.
After all, this is not a trivial matter, and it is impossible to give people too much time to try to find answers. Although, Xuanyuan Dao Ancestor used this method to allow Ye Zan and Yuqing Sect to have the advantage of acting in advance. However, how big this advantage will be depends on when the fairy court will "advertise it". Therefore, it is best not to waste time on unnecessary guessing and fumbling.
With Xuanyuan Dao Ancestor's clear answer, Ye Zan really didn't have any doubts in his heart, and nodded quite confidently and said, "In this case, I will understand what to do!"
In the technological world, so many examples of cultural invasion are enough to provide Ye Zan with a lot of references in this matter. Regardless of whether the intelligent beings of the outer world can be regarded as human beings or not, as long as they have thoughts and desires similar to those of humans, they will not be able to escape the fate of being brainwashed by him.
Even, in Ye Zan's mind now, a series of cultural invasion methods have appeared, such as propaganda from the aspect of culture and entertainment, and then the so-called god-making movement, etc.
Xuanyuan Dao Ancestor's doppelganger, seeing that Ye Zan had already understood what he meant, didn't wait for Ye Zan to ask him any more questions, so he directly pinched the magic trick and dispersed the clone. After all, he avoided everyone, even the Immortal Court, and quietly came back to inform Ye Zan, staying for a moment longer, there was a greater possibility of exposure.
"Hey...... Is...... I still don't know what the situation is in the outer world......" Ye Zan watched Xuanyuan Dao Ancestor's doppelganger disperse, and only stretched out his hand helplessly, but in the end he didn't say anything more. The question in his heart is not only about "preaching", if he really lets go of the inquiry, I am afraid that it will not be over in a day or two.
However, in any case, the matter of going to the outer world to "preach" is obviously as soon as possible. No one knows how much time the Immortal Court can leave for Ye Zan, maybe the next moment will directly "broadcast" the news in the global realm.
Of course, no matter how urgent it is, the preparations that need to be made still have to be done, and it is impossible to really rush over with your head buried in it. Ye Zan was also secretly glad in his heart, fortunately, his war fortress had been renovated, and the problem of carrying it with him had been solved. Relying on this war fortress, his security in the outer world is basically sufficiently guaranteed.
Therefore, one of the preparations that Ye Zan needs to make, and arguably the most important one, is to identify a helper. After all, preaching, or cultural invasion, is not something he can do alone. Of course, if there is enough time, he is not completely helpless alone, but who calls time uncertain. While it may not be a matter of time, it's always a good idea to have a little more helper to get started quickly.
In terms of helpers, the first thing Ye Zan can be sure of is the Lin family sisters and brothers and the little guys in his own family. However, those little guys, except for the eldest disciple Shi Lin, the second apprentice Wu Liao and the girl Ye Linglong basically couldn't help much.
Then, even those who came out of the small world must also follow Ye Zan, but they can only be a bodyguard. After all, they don't have a deep understanding of the culture of the monastic world, even though they have been living in the monastic world for ten years. Therefore, they are not of much help in the aspect of "preaching", but at most they come across something that needs to be solved by force.
As for Ye Ping'an, the demon oath made at the beginning was not to sit in the war fortress, but to sit in the Yuqing Sect for a hundred years. Up to now, only a tenth of a hundred years has passed, and Ye Ping definitely can't go to the outer world with Ye Zan, or he has to continue to stay here in Yuqing Sect.
"Although the main purpose of the ministry is cultural invasion, it is also necessary to establish 'branch schools'. Therefore, in terms of running the sect, there is still a need for a special person to be responsible, should you bring Lao Mo with you?" Ye Zan considered the issue of establishing the Yuqing Sect, and felt that there should be relevant professionals, so he thought of Mo Ru.
Moreover, if he is already a cultivator in the Yuan Shen realm, he doesn't have to worry about delaying his cultivation in the outer world. Cultivators below the Yuan Shen have not yet condensed their own Dao, and they are easily affected by the laws of the outer world in the outer world, so they will not be in Ye Zan's choice.
"If you bring Lao Mo, Qi Qianjun can also follow him, even if Yuqing Sect is here, it may be ......."
Ye Zan naturally hoped that the more helpers he brought, the better, so that he would be much more leisurely. However, on the side of the Yuqing Sect, the real one that the sect can handle is Mo Ru and Qi Qianjun's master and apprentice. As soon as the two of them left, Yuqing Sect didn't even have their own Yuan Shen Realm.
Don't look at the Yuqing Sect, it gives people the feeling that it is very strong, but most of that strength is not their own. From the four Great Demon Kings at the beginning, to the night peace and many allies in the back, in the final analysis, they can only be regarded as external forces. And without those external forces, if Mo Ru and Qi Qianjun are taken away, the Yuqing Sect can only be regarded as a second-rate sect.
Of course, even if Ye Zan took Mo Ru and Qi Qianjun's master and apprentice to the outer world, Yuqing Sect would definitely be able to be as stable as Mount Tai by relying on those "external forces". Not to mention anything else, just the mountain protection array of Tongtian Peak, as well as the 100,000 suspended turrets, were enough to make Yuqing Sect not afraid of any invading enemy.
"Anyway, it's not completely cut off, after arriving in the outer world, I will definitely get the communication up first. If there is anything on the side of the Yuqing Sect, I can also know about it in time, plus there is a safe night in the town, and the support of those allies, in fact, there is no need to worry too much. ”
Ye Zan thought about it for a while, and decided to count Mo Ru and Qi Qianjun together, otherwise there would really be no talent to run the sect on his side. What's more, he went to the outer world this time to "preach" and do cultural aggression, and he also needed a lot of manpower in this regard.
After some calculation, Ye Zan did not waste time, and immediately summoned Mo Ru and Qi Qianjun to the war fortress through the contact of thousands of miles of divine communication.
And Mo Ru and Qi Qianjun's master and apprentice, after hearing the news that Ye Zan was going to the outer world, originally held an opposing attitude. It wasn't until Ye Zan said that going to the outer world was to preach, and to establish the Yuqing Sect Division, that the master and apprentice finally stopped objecting.
"Old Mo, if you want to establish the Jade Qing Sect in the outer world, you really have to start everything from scratch, and I'm not good at this kind of thing. Therefore, you see, as an elder of the Yuqing Sect, you have also been in charge of a lot of affairs for the sect at the beginning. So, if this is left to you, there should be no problem. After explaining the purpose of going to the outer world, Ye Zan said the reason why he came to find Mo Ru.
"This ......" Mo Ru suddenly seemed a little hesitant when he heard this. After all, in his traditional concept, this division is like a division of the family, and he is equivalent to a division from the Yuqing Sect. Emotionally, he has changed from the original authentic main lineage to a branch lineage, which is not a thing that people are willing to accept.
Seeing Mo Ru's hesitation, Ye Zan, who already knew the world very well, naturally immediately guessed the other party's worries, so he said: "Old Mo, I know what you are worried about, but you have to think so." From the perspective of the sect, if you follow me to the outer world to establish a sect and bring the influence of the Yuqing Sect to the outer world, it will definitely increase the prestige of the sect. And from a personal point of view, this is also an unprecedented thing, if you can do it well, you will be the first person in ancient and modern times. ”
Ye Zan talked about the benefits of this matter to Mo Ru from the perspective of the sect and his individual, but he was not completely fooling. Just imagine, although in the future, the Immortal Court will definitely hand over the matter of preaching to thousands of sects in all regions of the world, but the first one is always the most special. When others talk about it in the future, they may not remember those who came back after the second or third, but they will certainly not forget who the first person was.
In terms of sects, the Yuqing Sect was the first to extend its hand to the outer world, and the first to preach and teach the Dharma in the outer world, which will also make a heavy mark in history. Moreover, the Yuqing Sect can also obtain a lot of practical benefits in this matter, not only the luck of the will of the Heavenly Dao, but also many gains in talents, resources, and so on.
Now, among the forces of these sects in the Shenhua Domain Realm, they are basically all stereotyped, unless there is another catastrophe like that of 10,000 years ago, it is impossible for there to be much change. And in such an environment, it means that the development of the Yuqing Sect will eventually have a ceiling that is difficult to break, let alone think about becoming the leader of the righteous path in the world like 10,000 years ago.
But the Outer World, for these sect forces in the Cultivation World, is a big cake that has not yet been slashed. Now, if Yuqingzong has the opportunity to cut the knife first, he will have the opportunity to cut the largest piece for himself, which is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
