Chapter 174: What is Mana?
So what exactly is the so-called mana, that is, the power of faith?
Since the great god Pangu opened the world, this desolate world is recognized to be composed of matter and law, and the law is also the way of heaven. The so-called substance is the most basic of the five elements, and all other things are also evolved from these five elements.
There is no absolutely pure substance in the world, each substance corresponds to its corresponding law, of course, there is no independent law in the world, and it must rely on matter to exist.
And the laws of the Heavenly Dao, although they are almost endless, even the few Dao Ancestors who are high above do not know the geometry of this Heavenly Dao, and they can only explain it with one sentence of Dao Fifty, Tianyan Forty-Nine, and the only one that escapes.
However, in these long years, they have also discovered the two most fundamental laws, that is, the law of yin and yang, which is the most basic attribute of all law substances. Everything in the world has light and darkness, evil and good, all of which are contradictory like the law of yin and yang.
And all kinds of laws in the world are evolved from this law of yin and yang, such as the most basic law of the five elements, in fact, the essence of each line is yin and yang. Wood, the law of yin and yang, is also known as less yang, fire, which is the limit state of the sun, is also known as the sun, earth, which is the balance of yin and yang, gold, which is the yang and yin and is long, is also known as less yin, and water, which is the limit of taiyin, is called less yin.
And the reason why this Yuan Shi Tianzun dared to establish this exposition and intended to clarify the meaning of the Heavenly Dao was because he had mastered the two most basic laws of yin and yang, and almost all the laws in the world could be expressed by his yin and yang laws and spells.
Of course, if it is just a simple yin and yang law, it will not have such a big use, but this yin and yang law can be combined with each other, more or less, first or last. Free combination evolves into various laws, and laws can also be combined with each other to evolve into a new law.
Therefore, this exposition has the ability to expound the way of heaven, and it is not without purpose, as long as the basic attributes of a law are mastered. The law of the combination of yin and yang, the Yuan Shi Tianzun naturally traced it back to its origin and created it.
Of course, even if this Yuan Shi Tianzun mastered the most fundamental way of yin and yang, it did not mean that he was invincible. One is because there are too many great avenues in the Three Realms, even if the Heavenly Venerable cannot grasp them, but because even if he has mastered various laws and knows their composition, he has not been able to create a supernatural power that corresponds to or restrains them, which means that he is in vain.
It is like the cause and effect of the person who leads the way. Although the person receiving the Dao may not know the fundamental structure of this law of cause and effect, he does not really need to know it, as long as he can apply it and build his own Dao method on this basis, he will naturally be able to gain great power.
Another example is the Tongtian Sect Master, whose core law is the way of the five elements, the most basic law in the world, for the five elements. The Yuan Shi Tianzun naturally mastered it a long time ago, but it was called the Yuan Shi Tianzun to the four pieces of Zhu Immortal who went to the sky. I'm afraid it's not enough.
And in this desolate world, only this matter and law are far from enough, because this matter and that law are dead things, and this world needs to operate, and it still needs the most critical thing to inject vitality into it. That kind of thing is energy.
Whether it is mountains, rivers, flowers, trees, they only have energy. Only then can it operate according to the established laws, and it can be regarded as the most complete thing. If there is no energy, even if the laws of the Heavenly Dao cannot be operated, then the mountain cannot be regarded as a mountain, and water cannot be regarded as water.
Everything in the world has matter, law, and energy, and one of them is indispensable.
So now everything is obvious, and the mana is the power needed for the law to work.
In fact, there is a kind of energy that everyone has. It's just that ordinary people are too scarce to maintain the most basic needs of the body. The gods gain mana from their own believers, and those immortals absorb the aura of heaven and earth and obtain mana from this aura. Allow your body to function all the time, so that you can live longer.
With mana, and control and understanding some laws, you can naturally form supernatural powers, so as to pick the stars and the moon, and move mountains and seas.
Compared with the gods who have incense and miscellaneous thoughts, immortals naturally have the same problem, that is, the evil qi enters the body, so immortals also need divine fire and yang.
It's just that later, Xuanmen discovered the Nine Heavens Gang Qi and the power of the stars, which almost perfectly solved this problem, and more importantly, Shinto's own internal strife led to decline, and the Immortal Dao would rise and overpower Shinto.
Of course, now the crisis of the Immortal Dao has also appeared, that is, the exhaustion of the vitality of heaven and earth, and there are also such and such problems within the Immortal Dao, so Bishamen, who has the Seven Treasures Futu Sutra, will choose to be reincarnated, and even directly reincarnated as Yang Jun, single-handedly contributing to the Great Tribulation of the Gods, making the various contradictions within the Immortal Dao more and more prominent.
Of course, it is said that he has selfishness and ambition, and Bishamen naturally has it, but it is more true that this Xuanmen Immortal Dao has a problem with itself, so he adds a fire, but it is not impossible, because this day will come sooner or later.
When the time comes, Shinto, which has solved the crisis of distractions, will inevitably be able to rise again. And as a cultivator of the Seven Treasures Futu Sutra, he was naturally able to rise from this divine tribulation and realize his ideals and ambitions, and Li Jing, who had already practiced the Seven Treasures Futu Sutra, could be said to have succeeded.
After the divine fire in his body stabilized, Li Jing did not hesitate too much, and directly came to the Linglong Pagoda again, for this Linglong Pagoda, Li Jing can be said to be both unfamiliar and very familiar.
Speaking of strangeness, this pagoda is derived from the people of the Burning Lamp Dao, not Li Jing's own refining, so far for its ins and outs, and even its use, Li Jing is not very clear;
Now that Li Jing came to this Linglong Pagoda, he naturally came for the life and soul of the 100,000 Yellow Turban Warriors, and he had waited too long for this day, and he had been preparing for too long.
For his own Taoist soldiers, Li Jing is, of course, a relatively stable belief. Li Jing, who has all the memories of his previous life, naturally understands the value of this yellow turban training technique for himself more clearly than before: it is 100,000 fanatical believers who hardly need to operate, do not have to think about betrayal at all, and can sacrifice for themselves at any time, but do not die completely.
Thinking about Li Jing himself, he feels terrible, now these Yellow Turban wrestlers are relatively weak, and they may not be able to provide much faith, but he can grow.
If it is 100,000 earth immortals, how much mana can it provide, 100,000 immortals, 100,000 heavenly immortals, doom ...... You don't have to think about it.
As early as when these souls were included in this exquisite pagoda, Li Jing's thoughts actually entered these souls with the help of the Golden Crow, and now what Li Jing has to do is to activate these thoughts one by one, and form an image of himself in the consciousness of these Dao soldiers, and this connection can be regarded as preliminarily formed.
