Chapter 72: Refining the Gods

Qingyu said again: "I have already explained to you the origin of the three supreme treasures, and now I will tell you about the cultivation after Dancheng." ”

Ji Xiao bowed his head slightly, this was the most practical information for him today.

Qingyu said: "I won't tell you about the Buddhism, the left path of the side door and the cultivation of demons, if you are interested, you can study it yourself in the future." You are a Taoist of my lineage, so I will only give you Taoism. In fact, with the Emperor Sutra as the source, the major schools of our Taoism have been derived, including the Feiyun Concept from which you were born, and its core purpose can be summarized in just two sentences. ”

Ji Xiao asked, "Which two sentences?"

Qingyu said: "Those who eat qi are gods and live long, and those who do not eat are not dead and gods." ”

Ji Xiao was gifted and enlightened, and combined with his own cultivation experience, he said, "This refers to refining qi and refining gods?"

Qingyu smiled slightly and said, "Not bad." Although we divide Taoist monks into Taoists, real people, and Dancheng, in fact, there is no essential difference between these three levels, they belong to qi refining, at most Zhenren and Dancheng have slightly touched some of the skin of the spiritual soul, but it is still based on qi refining, and after the qi refiner cultivates to the realm of Dancheng, it is actually difficult to improve the realm.

It is said that there were also qi refiners in the era before the appearance of the Emperor Sutra, and there was also a saying of Dancheng at that time, and the qi refiners at that time called their cultivation Dao Jindan Dao, which means that the cultivation after Dancheng is endless. Therefore, they are both Dancheng monks, and they may have been very different before.

After the appearance of the Emperor Sutra, the patriarchs of our five schools also accepted the concept of Jindan Avenue, so we still have to go through the level of Dancheng, but after Dancheng, in order to solve the mystery of the flying immortals, the predecessors of our five Taoist schools have summed up a new path, that is, refining gods.

You should know that all things are born because of the vitality, but only the vitality does not create the soul, because there is another thing to cooperate, that is, the spirit or the spirit, the light, some people call it the spirit spirit.

There is no difference in the essence of the vitality, but the spirituality of each living being is unique. Just as there are no two leaves in the world that are the same, and the spirituality is also different, which is why we are in the world of diversity.

No matter what kind of exercises you practice, the death of the physical body is always inevitable, just as the stars in the sky will be extinguished one day. But the spirit can always exist in some way, for example, some people are obsessed, if they die, by chance, they can turn into ghosts, but they exist in that form, not a complete self, but an incomplete monster.

And the opportunity for the five Taoist schools to realize that refining gods will be a new way out came from a cat. ”

Ji Xiao couldn't help but say: "You're talking about Beiluo Shimen." ”

Qingyu said: "Exactly, Beiluo Shimen is the master of the stars of the Southern Heavens, and the most powerful thing about it is that it has stepped into the level of refining gods early. In terms of realm, even in today's world, there may not be anyone who is more intelligent than it.

As for how Beiluo Shimen entered the god refining sect, it is unknown, but inspired by it, the amazing and brilliant characters of our Dao Sect have decided to adhere to the path of refining the gods.

Those who do not eat do not die and become gods, which is the interpretation of the way of refining gods. What it means to not eat is to be free from the grains, not to rely on the physical body, and to be able to move freely between heaven and earth. Because the human body swallows the essence of heaven and earth, it naturally has to experience the inevitable rise and fall of all things. Such as grass, trees, insects, fish, birds and beasts, all of them are like this, there is life and there is death. Only one of the "gods" is always present and coexists with the Tao.

If you refine your gods to the extreme, you will be able to immortalize your soul, and even if your physical body dies, you can find a new physical body and continue to live. At this point in cultivation, the physical body is a house, that is, a house to live in temporarily. ”

Ji Xiao's heart was shocked, Qingyu definitely didn't know, he had already done this himself. His past experiences are not exactly what Qingyu described, the physical body is a house, just a temporary house.

Could it be that he was born to reach the realm where countless amazing and brilliant people could not reach it in their lifetime.

Qingyu didn't know the biggest secret of Ji Xiao's body, and said: "However, from ancient times to the present, among the five schools of Taoism, there has not been anyone who has really done this, but after continuous exploration and exploration, the refining of the gods after Dancheng can be roughly described in five realms, that is, the sympathy between heaven and man, the unity of heaven and man, the boundary between heaven and man, ascending to immortals, and breaking the void."

In fact, there is little difference between the sympathy of heaven and man, the unity of heaven and man in essence, only the boundary between heaven and man is very difficult, the sympathy between heaven and man and the unity of heaven and man is actually just a test of meditation, as long as we are Taoist monks, willing to stay in a pure place without the smell of fireworks, and practice for decades or even hundreds of years, they will eventually touch the threshold of this level. It's just that from a utilitarian point of view, as long as you don't have a deep obsession with attaining the Tao and immortality, few people are willing to do this, after all, often the sympathy between heaven and man and the unity of heaven and man are only reflected in the place where you live for a long time, and if you go elsewhere, the effect will be greatly reduced.

It is difficult for Dancheng monks to live for a thousand years, so few people are willing to spend this hard work, but if they do not come to this point, it is impossible for the road of refining gods to grow, at most because of the advanced years, the cultivation of qi refining has improved, and it is not of much help to the way of life. ”

Ji Xiao asked, "Where has the fairy cultivated it?"

Qingyu smiled: "After I became a Dan, it took me two hundred years to achieve the unity of heaven and man, and it took another three hundred years to enter the boundary between heaven and man. ”

In fact, she is still modest, because the people who really fully step into the Ascending Immortal will never exceed seven of the five sects of the Daomen, and this still includes the ancestors of the five sects. Even if you count those peerless demons, as well as the side door left path and the Buddha gate, there are very few who can surpass Qingyu's achievements.

It's just that she will eventually end her life and enter the stage of heavenly and human exhaustion, otherwise she will not be so easily plotted. If she was in her prime, she would be able to recover quickly even if she was seriously injured.

Ji Yu said: "The fairy is already the first person in Taoism, and it seems that no one else has touched the threshold of ascending to the immortal." ”

Qingyu said: "Yes, it's just that it has cultivated to the level of shaking the ancient and the present, if you don't live forever, you will end up with a piece of loess, and back then, Bodh Dora was already the top existence among the people of the Ascending Immortal Rank, and he was still outnumbered." In this world, unless you truly become an immortal and become a Buddha, it is impossible to turn things around with your own strength, and I am a real lesson. ”

Ji Xiao comforted: "The fairy is just a plot, otherwise why would it be like this." ”

Qingyu said leisurely: "A really powerful supernatural power, others have a little bad thoughts about you, you can know it right away, I'm still far away." ”
