"What do you want me to do?" Zhang Liang asked with a serious look on his face.
"How to do it?"
Su Fan shook his head and said, "I don't know. Aren't you very good at preaching? Just do what you did before."
"Don't take it so seriously."
To be honest, Su Fan really didn't take spreading the Earthly Way too seriously, even though it was a method created by the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi.
However, the way to spread the word cannot be accomplished overnight.
No avenue of communication is that simple.
When the ancient Taiqing saints preached the golden elixir path to the human race, they did not complete it overnight.
It is not easy for a saint to preach.
Let alone them.
This earthly way is indeed great, at least for the lower level ascetics, it is indeed very beneficial.
Accepting new tasks is not so smooth.
Especially the way of earth cannot achieve immediate results.
Earth Yuan Taoism is not a departure from the mainstream Immortal Taoism, but there are also many differences.
What's more, sorting out the earth's veins cannot be completed overnight. It requires a lot of effort and time, and you may not see much effect.
Su Fan himself had tried it before. It took decades to transform a mountain forest into a spiritual land.
Originally, there were spiritual veins there, but the spiritual veins were not very good. He used the spiritual caves of the spiritual veins as the foundation, arranged formations, sorted out the veins under the mountains and forests, and dredged the caves. After decades of continuous transformation, , finally succeeded.
This is also inseparable from the fact that the Yuan-Quenching Formation uses the power of the stars to bless the earth's veins.
None of this is simple.
Whether it's sorting out the earth's veins and crypts, or setting up formations, it takes a lot of energy to learn.
This cannot be learned in a short time.
Su Fan's formation, placed in the Yuanyang Realm, has exceeded the seventh level.
Because of his powerful realm, it is easy to arrange the formation. Zhen Yuanzi's improved Starlight Yuan Tempering Formation was not difficult for Su Fan to relearn and arrange by himself.
But it doesn't mean that others can learn it quickly.
Formation together can be said to be the most difficult among the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortals in the main world. Just like on the earth in later generations, among sciences, mathematics is probably the most difficult.
Without the blessing of formations, although sorting out the earth's veins can indeed optimize the spiritual land, the effect may be greatly reduced, and it may take longer to produce effects.
Of course, if some of the superior spiritual lands that have been infected by the evil power can sort out the evil energy, then the spiritual lands will be restored very quickly.
However, it is more difficult to sort out such a place, especially to sort out the evil atmosphere, which is probably the most difficult.
Because the evil spirit is one of the most terrifying things for ascetics, the spiritual energy that ascetics need for practice is pure spiritual energy.
And the evil aura is not even the aura of the earth candle, but a kind of blood evil. Unless they specialize in the demonic path, other cultivators who practice heretical ways will not dare to be contaminated by this thing.
The former can corrode mana and even the soul. Once it is contaminated even a little, the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, it is naturally difficult to sort out such spiritual veins.
Even though there are many benefits to practicing this way, they cannot be seen overnight.
If this is the case, if you can accept it, I'm afraid there will be a large number of them without saying anything.
Stubborn people, especially those who are religious, actually value what they can see more.
There are many people with foresight, but the vast majority of people, even those who have practiced Taoism for thousands of years, still have many shortcomings.
Not many ascetics have great wisdom after practicing for thousands of years.
Wisdom is not innate, but requires experience and growth over and over again.
There are very few people who are truly born with omniscience.
Just like Zhang Liang, he is absolutely outstanding in wisdom in history, and there are very few who can compare with him. However, it is not that he can reach the historical evaluation of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty from the beginning, but after experiencing a lot
, and then became Liu Bang’s mastermind.
The same is true for all the counselors in history, even Zhuge Kongming, who is as powerful as the best prime ministers throughout the ages. Perhaps the Romance of the Three Kingdoms depicts him as being at his peak when he appears, and he is very powerful.
However, in history, Zhuge Kongming really showed his strength only in the later period.
Obviously, after experiencing a lot, he has grown up and fully unleashed his potential.
As for the cultivators, most of them have practiced for thousands of years, but in fact they don't have much knowledge at all.
Just like those sect disciples who have practiced for thousands of years and then leave the sect to gain experience, they are often defeated by some minions.
Most ascetics have hardly left their sects for thousands of years and have almost always practiced in their own caves. So what they have grown is only their magic power, not their wisdom.
It's not like you can become an old monster or an old Yinbi after living for thousands of years.
Su Fan himself has experienced many worlds, too much, including battlefields, officialdom, rivers and lakes, etc.
He has experienced many lives, so even if he is naturally inferior to people like Zhang Liang, in terms of strategy and wisdom, he is definitely no worse than those top figures in history.
Even when discussing military strategy, Su Fan was confident that he could compete with those top figures in the historical context.
The improvement of his realm can indeed improve his wisdom, but without experience, he will always be like a baby.
For example, Zhao Kuo of the State of Zhao can talk about military affairs on paper, but of course it cannot be said that Zhao Kuo is completely incompetent.
I can only say that I have never experienced it on the battlefield. I rely entirely on the art of war in books and compete with real art of war. The final result is obvious.
As long as he has experienced several wars and can master the art of war that he is familiar with, he will not lose so much when facing Wu'an Lord Bai Qi.
After all, Zhao Kuo still has potential.
Even if he is really allowed to experience the baptism of the battlefield, he may be able to surpass his father. Maybe he has this potential.
It's a pity that Zhao Guo didn't have that time to give him.
The same is true in the world of monasticism. The sects in Nanzhan Buzhou obviously know this truth, so they often let their disciples go out for training. They obviously don't want all of their sects to be Zhao Kuo who can talk on paper.
The fighting in the monastic world is even more terrifying, unless your cultivation level can surpass the enemy by several realms and suppress the enemy with absolute power.
Otherwise, experienced people will definitely make you suffer.
This is a lesson learned through countless blood.
The more you experience, the more you can broaden your horizons.
But sometimes, those who have experienced a lot will become very rigid and stubborn. This is also true in the monastic world. ()
