Chapter 2787 Three Losses, Seven Tribulations and Heavenly Dao Fragments
Later, Bai Ze studied hard and found that there was something wrong with the set of flying swords given to him by Zhang Daoling.
When he warms the flying sword with his own essence and blood, a strange energy will be generated in the flying sword. This strange energy can help him understand the sword realm more easily, but it will also affect his mind.
With doubts, Bai Ze went to ask Zhang Daoling for advice.
As a result, on this day, Bai Ze witnessed an astonishing scene.
Zhang Daoling, who was practicing at the top of Fangcun Mountain, had an extremely unstable aura. His left face was black and his right face was white. His whole body was filled with various negative emotions such as violence, anger, murderous intent, and hatred. He was completely different from his usual kind-hearted image!
Bai Ze was shocked. He thought his master had been injured in some way, so he hurried forward to ask what happened.
Zhang Daoling didn't say much, and just asked him to call three disciples from the late Mahayana period. Bai Ze didn't know what the master meant, so he had to do it.
Bai Ze called three senior brothers from the late Mahayana period, and the three senior brothers immediately came forward to pay homage to Zhang Daoling.
Unexpectedly, a horrifying scene appeared.
I saw Zhang Daoling sucking these three late Mahayana disciples into his body in front of Bai Ze!
After devouring three disciples, Zhang Daoling's aura finally stabilized and he returned to his former kind-hearted image.
Zhang Daoling's sudden move really frightened Bai Ze. At first he thought that the three senior brothers had been taken somewhere by the master, but later he realized that the three senior brothers had really been swallowed by the master.
!
The shocked Bai Ze naturally asked Zhang Daoling why he did what he did.
Zhang Daoling frankly told Bai Ze that most immortals will suffer from "three losses and seven calamities" or "five declines of heaven and man". If you want to truly gain immortality, you must relieve yourself of misfortunes, otherwise you will still die, even in the upper world.
The same is true for true immortals.
There are countless true immortals in the upper realm who died in the three losses and seven calamities and the five declines of heaven and humans.
The reason why Zhang Daoling lived forever was not because he had cultivated an immortal body in the true sense, but because he had gained endless longevity by taking the holy flat peach fruit given by the ancestor of Taiyi.
These endless longevity are not without price, and the price is that Zhang Daoling must bear the disaster of "three losses and seven catastrophes". The three losses are physical damage, spiritual damage, and qi damage. The seven catastrophes are discussed separately.
Zhang Daoling is not a true immortal, so he only needs to bear the seemingly least important "qi damage" among the three losses and seven calamities, which means that his luck will continue to pass until it disappears.
Once his luck completely disappears, his body and soul will be completely destroyed.
About once in a million years, Zhang Daoling's own luck will fall into a period of weakness. In the period of weakness, Zhang Daoling must devour the luck of others in order to maintain his immortality.
In other words, if Zhang Daoling wants to maintain his life, he can only deprive others of their luck to replenish the luck lost in the three losses and seven calamities.
Moreover, ordinary monks cannot meet Zhang Daoling's needs. With Zhang Daoling's cultivation, he must devour those monks whose cultivation and luck are at the top level, otherwise it will have the opposite effect.
Therefore, all the disciples who join Zhang Daoling's sect are those with excellent luck. The Tianji Gua technique practiced by Zhang Daoling can just predict the luck of the monks. This is the reason why he has never stopped accepting disciples.
Zhang Daoling told Bai Ze that he must not die. He was ordered by Taiyi Ancestor to protect the human race in the ancient spiritual world forever. In order to ensure that he could serve the ancient spiritual world, he could only choose to let a small number of monks sacrifice themselves.
This incident overturned Bai Ze's understanding of Zhang Daoling. He never imagined that the extremely upright master in his mind could also do evil things.
At that time, Bai Ze had a strong temperament. He questioned Zhang Daoling straightforwardly, saying that he might be devoured by his master in the future, just like the three senior brothers.
But Zhang Daoling explained that Bai Ze was different from them. Furthermore, the three losses and seven calamities would only come once in a million years, and it would not take that long for Bai Ze to ascend to the true immortal world.
No matter how uncomfortable Bai Ze felt, he still forgave Zhang Daoling. After all, Zhang Daoling held too important a position in his heart at that time.
Because compared to the three sacrificed senior brothers, Zhang Daoling was much more useful to the ancient spiritual world. This should be the so-called sacrifice of the small self to achieve the greater self.
After Bai Ze figured it out, he asked about the reasons for his inner demon and the set of flying swords given to him by Zhang Daoling.
Zhang Daoling told Bai Ze that there was a "piece of heavenly law" buried in the set of flying swords he gave to Baize, with the purpose of merging the heavenly law fragment with Bai Ze's body.
"Tiandao fragment! What is that?"
Hearing this, Shen Lang trembled all over and asked hurriedly.
When he first met the Styx Goddess at the Goddess's Tomb, the Styx Goddess said that there was a fragment of Heaven's Dao in her body, and she took away the fragment of Heaven's Dao.
Shen Lang never knew what the Dao Fragment was, and he was also very curious about its use.
Bai Ze said solemnly: "I can't explain what the fragments of heaven are. Zhang Daoling did say something at the beginning. He said that the reason why he wanted the fragments of heaven to be integrated into my body was to allow me to achieve higher achievements and understand.
He who has more supernatural powers can accomplish what he cannot accomplish."
"What can't be accomplished? Is there anything Zhang Daoling can't accomplish by himself?" Shen Lang asked curiously.
"Boy, things are not as simple as you think."
Bai Ze shook his head and explained.
At that time, Zhang Daoling told Bai Ze that people with unpredictable fates might achieve unimaginable achievements after obtaining fragments of heaven.
He is the Jinxia boy who sits under Master Taiyi. He hopes that after Bai Ze ascends to the throne, he can go further and serve Master Taiyi on his behalf, helping Master Taiyi to revive the foundation of teaching.
Bai Ze was the disciple with the best qualifications and luck that Zhang Daoling had ever seen. Zhang Daoling chose him as the executor and successor of his wishes.
The fragments of heaven contain good and evil aspects, which will make the good and evil thoughts of people's hearts more distinct. When exerting abilities and power, evil thoughts and evil thoughts are easy to breed in the heart. Some methods must be used to control them, such as practicing Yi Sheng.
True King's Curse.
Bai Ze followed Zhang Daoling's teachings and practiced the Yisheng True King Mantra, and later he was able to suppress the evil thoughts and desire to kill in his body.
"I see."
Shen Lang was secretly surprised that Bai Ze's experiences were somewhat similar to his own.
He was almost swallowed by the inner demon when Zhang Daoling suddenly appeared and taught him the Yisheng True Monarch Curse. It seemed that before that, Zhang Daoling had secretly buried a piece of Heavenly Dao in his body.
"Then, senior Bai Ze, why did you leave Fangcun Mountain and go to the ghost world?" Shen Lang asked.
Bai Ze continued to talk about subsequent experiences.
Ever since he saw how Zhang Daoling could really devour his direct disciples, Bai Ze still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Whenever he heard his junior brothers talking about the three missing senior brothers, he would always feel a sense of guilt.
Zhang Daoling saw the fluctuations in Bai Ze's heart, and because he did not want him to have inner demons, Zhang Daoling expelled Bai Ze from Fangcun Mountain.
Bai Ze understood Zhang Daoling's good intentions in his heart, and his master did not want his cultivation to be affected in the slightest. Bai Ze also made up his mind to become Zhang Daoling's successor, so he left the ancient spiritual world and went to the ghost world to practice alone.
"Then, did you succeed in ascending to the ghost world?" Shen Lang asked.
