Section 317 Questions of Faith

Religious belief is actually a rather puzzling way of practice, although for almost all practitioners in the universe, faith is not considered an orthodox way of practice...... Pinning one's fate on the mercy of an ethereal or even non-existent god is simply irresponsible to oneself. This article was written by...... Starting

This is not to say that cultivators must be models of insisting on "self-reliance", nor is it to say that cultivators are all lone husbands who have a strong desire to control their own destiny, but even many ordinary people in Xin Yu's previous life knew that such simple truths as "Heaven helps those who help themselves" and "Heaven rewards hard work", and attributing one's success or failure to the blessing of the "gods" is simply the same behavior as hoping for something for nothing.

The reason why Xin Yu still had all kinds of beliefs in such a "prosperous" and "materialistic" society in his previous life, and religious civilization did not disappear with the development of science and material civilization, is just because faith can make people feel awe-inspiring and can make people find spiritual sustenance. In the final analysis, faith is nothing more than the giving of a human psyche...... In fact, believing in a certain god is already the same as seeing a psychiatrist.

In the world of cultivators, although faith is not like in Xin Yu's previous life, it is only used as a means to purify the soul or to tranquil one's spiritual realm, firm and pious faith can indeed allow believers to achieve a certain level of cultivation...... Although in terms of strength, the most powerful Faith Monk could not have much combat power. (This is due to the fact that it is too difficult for the gods to bless them, not to mention the question of whether there are gods, and more importantly, no capable god will give his power to others for no reason, and there are so many believers, and the believers themselves are so humble...... If you are not humble, you will not have faith, will you? In such a situation, the gods ...... Referring specifically to gods with subjective will, it is impossible to bless every believer. And there is no "god" who has a sense of competence...... For example, the Heavenly Dao is even less likely to "look the other way" for believers who have little to do with the operation of the Heavenly Dao. )

However, even at the level of life, it is impossible for believers to gain much benefit, but in the realm of soul and spiritual power, as long as faith is pious and firm enough, it is not impossible to obtain great benefits, and even reach the level of cultivators such as astromagicians...... Of course, this requires a sufficiently pious belief and a long enough period of time, and generally speaking, the lives of ordinary people have a limit, so it is basically impossible for believers to surpass practitioners in terms of strength.

However, faith has a positive side to it, but it is unquestionable. If you look at the definition of spiritual practice...... That is, through a certain method, one's ability to be enhanced...... Faith can indeed be seen as a kind of practice, but with a body alive...... It seems awkward to say this, but in fact, it means that under normal circumstances, instead of being like Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua, it has become a pure soul or some other state, so no matter how strong the spiritual power or soul power of this believer is, it does not have any attack ability because of the lack of corresponding "divine skills".

Moreover, because faith itself is a kind of practice that acts on the spiritual realm, for believers, the enhancement of spiritual power and soul power cannot be applied to the body, so even the most devout and powerful fanatical believers cannot be upgraded to the level of life, and in essence, their bodies will not be any different from ordinary people.

But then again, no matter how bad the cultivation method of faith is, no matter how bad the effect is, for Pan Guihua's current situation, continuing to believe in the way of heaven is not purely a waste.

The reason why I say this is not that after Pan Guihua becomes the will of the heart of time, she can't benefit from believing in the way of heaven, as the existence of the soul state, although Pan Guihua's true spirit has been integrated into the heart of time, in essence, she is still the soul now...... It's just a soul that has the fluctuations of the law of time.

Since Pan Guihua is still not much different from her soul state, she can also gain ...... by continuing her previous beliefs In other words, it is to stimulate the true spirit to "gather" and "absorb" more soul energy from the soul space, so that after the soul energy increases to a certain level, it will be able to achieve the purpose of free movement.

Of course, Xin Yu hoped that Pan Guihua would continue his previous faith practice, not expecting to use this "stupid method" to solve the problem of controlling the movement of the heart of time...... Well, well, no matter what you say, it is good for the soul to be strong after all, and it is better to practice if you are "idle and idle".

And the idea that Xin Yu thought of to solve the situation in front of Pan Guihua was actually through the means of faith, but the reason was not the problem of energy, but the realm of faith itself.

If we look at faith with a spiritual way of thinking, in fact, faith itself is similar to visualization, except that visualization is to observe, remember, and imagine something that exists in reality with the mind, and the thing that faith "visualizes" does not exist in reality, or it is simply a concept, just like the way of heaven that Pan Guihua believes in is just an anthropomorphic embodiment of the will of the universe, not a concrete thing that actually exists.

Like the astrologist's visualization, the ultimate goal is to depict the visualized things into one's own sea of consciousness, and finally form a projection and be able to be controlled by oneself. However, for the practice of faith, the purpose of their "visualization" is either simply to give their own worship or to have some "utilitarian" thoughts, but in any case, the ultimate effect of pious faith is to make the believer's spiritual frequency gradually move closer to the "gods" in their cognition, and the form of the soul will gradually develop towards the "gods".

In other words, the monk's visualization is to learn and then give himself the ability to visualize objects or things, and the believer's belief is also imitation and learning, but the ultimate goal is to bring the believer's spiritual body or soul body closer to the gods, and the ultimate state is to become like the gods in their minds...... It's just that it's too difficult, ordinary people, let alone a lifetime, just give them a cosmic cycle of birth and death...... Even if it is the time of a mixed element immeasurable eon, it is impossible to reach that level, after all, in general beliefs, "gods" are omnipotent, and they want to change from an ordinary person without any ability to such a powerful existence...... You must know that the ability or realm of such gods is even better than that of top-level monks (in Xin Yu's cultivation concept, even if the gods are not as good as Hongjun and other mixed yuan saints, they are almost at the same level as saints such as Nuwa and Zhun Ti, even if they are worse, they are also the quasi-sect leader level of the peak of the mixed yuan Daluo Jinxian. And even more.

And Pan Guihua's belief goal is even more remarkable, that is, the existence of mixed yuan saints such as Hongjun is just positioning himself as the executor of the Heavenly Dao, it can be said that Pan Guihua has practiced for countless years without limitation, and it is impossible to become a world of Heavenly Dao...... What's more, although the existence of the heart of time is very long, but the time of a mixed element immeasurable eon, it will reach the sky, when the universe enters the extinction (that is, the Taoist civilization often says that the mixed element immeasurable tribulation comes), a new law of time will appear, and after the old law of time dies, the heart of time condensed by it will also die out. In this way, if Pan Guihua has not gotten rid of the heart of time by that time, she has reached the end of her "life". And even if this universe is new, it is impossible for Pan Guihua to get infinitely close to her goal of faith and become an existence close to the Heavenly Dao.

Moreover, logically speaking, just thinking about it in your head, you can become as powerful as the "god of faith" through the means of "thinking", which is too idealistic and absolutely impossible. No matter which universe it is, it is impossible for the Heavenly Dao to have such a huge loophole.

However, Xin Yu didn't want Pan Guihua to become stronger by continuing to believe, so as to achieve the goal of getting rid of the heart of time. As for Xin Yu's ...... to Pan Guihua Expectation, just an ordinary person, and the mother of an ordinary person who can't practice, can live to be two hundred years old, even if it is the regret of his life, now it is more than a hundred years later, although Pan Guihua's way of existence is not in the form of life, but the state of the soul is barely alive, right?

Now Pan Guihua has lived for more than a hundred years, and her future lifespan is even longer than that if the important universe is not destroyed, it is impossible for her to die. Xin Yu himself may not be sure that he will be able to live for that long, and if he can't cultivate to the level of a saint, no matter how high his cultivation realm is, he will not be able to survive the immeasurable tribulation of the destruction of the universe.

Yes, Xin Yu just hoped that Pan Guihua would bring her closer to the way of heaven through faith...... Although for now, Pan Guihua's soul and true spirit form are actually very similar to the Heavenly Dao, so much so that even the Heart of Time can attract her as a "kind" and fuse with her soul.

However, in fact, there is still a long way between Pan Guihua's true spirit and the way of heaven, after all, Pan Guihua's understanding of the way of heaven itself is not very accurate, and even, from a certain point of view, it is not wrong to say that Pan Guihua knows nothing about the way of heaven, because the way of heaven is a manifestation of the system of laws of the universe, and Pan Guihua has no understanding of the law at all. It's to say that her understanding of the Heavenly Dao is inaccurate, which is a polite statement.

Then, what Xin Yu wants to do next is to let Pan Guihua have a more accurate and clear understanding of the Heavenly Dao, instead of the original one, just "fictitious" the image of the Heavenly Dao in his mind.

Although there is no specific existence of the Heavenly Dao...... Unlike gods, who can also sculpt a god out of clay or wood, the Heavenly Dao itself can't even describe a specific image, let alone intuitively make people recognize. However, Xin Yu felt that it was not absolutely impossible for Pan Guihua to have a pre-yellow diamond understanding of the Heavenly Dao, if it was before, Xin Yu would still feel that this problem was unsolvable, after all, he himself did not even fully understand the law of time, let alone the ultimate embodiment of all the law systems like the Heavenly Dao.

But now Pan Guihua has an excellent "visualization" object, that is, Xin Daqiang, because Xin Daqiang is now the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao in the small world, and he is definitely qualified to be the "template" or "model" of the Heavenly Dao that Pan Guihua believes in.

Although the Heavenly Dao of the small world is not complete, and compared to the Heavenly Dao of the cosmic world, the Heavenly Dao of the small world does not have the ability to be in harmony with the Heavenly Dao of the outside world, the most basic laws of any world, that is, the laws of time and space, are similar. In the early days, Pan Guihua took Xin Daqiang, the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, as the "mother of faith", and there would be nothing wrong with it.

In Xin Yu's mind, if Pan Guihua made progress in his beliefs, not only the energy of his soul might increase, but also his affinity with the heart of time, there would also be a huge change. Don't think that everything will be fine if you become the core of the Heart of Time, otherwise, if the Heart of Time really becomes Pan Guihua's "body", it is impossible to be uncontrollable.

If Pan Guihua is closer to the Heavenly Dao she believes in, then since the Heart of Time itself is a manifestation of the law "governed" by the Heavenly Dao, it will also be easier for her to control...... Just like the hierarchy of permissions in games or brains, Pan Guihua is now recognized by the Heart of Time, but she only has basic permissions, but the basic permissions are not enough for her to "manage" the Heart of Time.

If the Heavenly Dao can be said to be the existence with the complete and highest authority to "manage" the Heart of Time, then the more Pan Guihua is "like" the Heavenly Dao, the higher her "authority level" will naturally be, and the more handy she will be to "manage" (control) the Heart of Time.

Therefore, the solution that Xin Yu thought of to solve Pan Guihua's inability to control the heart of time is obvious. That is to let Pan Guihua first Xin Daqiang as the goal of "visualization", improve her understanding of the way of heaven, and then gradually increase her "management authority" of the heart of time, when the "permission" is raised to a certain level, it will be easier to control the movement of the heart of time, and the less energy will be consumed.

Of course, although Xin Yu's method is feasible, the time required is not a small number, but Xin Yu can only think of this method at present, if you want to finally solve this problem, it depends on whether Xin Daqiang works hard......
