Chapter 775 Three thousand avenues, one hundred thousand trails
Immediately, Zhang Ruochen meditated cross-legged, sitting six feet away from the old woman in red, with his hands on his knees, like a student seeking knowledge, looking very serious.
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen was so polite and elegant, the old woman in red nodded and said: "Your cultivation level has reached the eighth transformation of fish and dragon. I believe you will soon begin to comprehend the Holy Spirit."
Tao. So, what is the essence of the Holy Tao?"
"Some people say that the holy way is to constantly seek knowledge, keep learning, and keep exploring, so that one's own knowledge becomes more profound. In the end, one can understand everything in the world and reach the state of spiritual liberation. For example, spiritual monks and Confucianism
A monk of the Tao."
"Some people also say that the holy way is a kind of hidden rule. For example, the sun shining on the leaves will leave shadows on the ground, which is a rule; the water flowing from high places to low places is also a rule.
kind of rules.”
"Human beings understand the first rule, and then they know that they can hide under the shade of trees to enjoy the coolness. Human beings understand the second rule, and they know that they can travel thousands of miles by going down the river."
"It's just that these are the most basic rules in nature. As long as they are intelligent creatures, they can easily detect and understand them. This enhances their ability to adapt to the environment and do some incredible things."
"The rules of the holy way are even more mysterious. Most people cannot detect their existence at all. Only by continuous learning and understanding can monks understand them and become semi-saints and saints."
"The way of sword is a kind of holy way, representing the sharpest aspect of the holy way."
"Of course, the natural way, the holy way, the sword way, and even the mysterious way of time and space are actually the way of heaven."
…
…………
The sermon of the old woman in red lasted for nine days and nine nights. It not only covered the way of swordsmanship and the natural way, but also explained some principles about space and time to Zhang Ruochen.
Given her cultivation and age, her own knowledge is certainly quite profound. The things she explains cover everything from astronomy and geography to all living beings.
The old woman in red is like the incarnation of heaven and earth, and she can be said to know everything.
Even though she is not a descendant of time and space, her understanding of space and time is far beyond that of Zhang Ruochen, making it beyond the reach of Zhang Ruochen.
Some of the things she explained opened a new door for Zhang Ruochen, like an enlightenment, which made Zhang Ruochen's heart clearer and his view of everything gradually became clearer.
Zhang Ruochen absorbed Qi Hong's knowledge of swordsmanship and the holy way. He was still a little confused at first and couldn't understand many things. Until now, he felt that he was about to understand everything.
"Wow!"
Above Zhang Ruochen's head, a beam of light shot out.
The next moment, his martial soul condensed in the beam of light and took on a human form, which looked exactly like Zhang Ruochen.
At the same time, the first rule of the Holy Path continued to condense, and finally took on a form, like a very thin light, integrated with the martial spirit.
Immediately afterwards, the second rules of the Holy Path, the third rules of the Holy Path... were condensed one after another, like spider threads.
I don't know how much time passed before Zhang Ruochen's martial soul stabilized and condensed a total of thirteen rules of the Holy Path.
The old woman in red nodded and said: "With just the cultivation of the eighth fish-dragon transformation, you can condense the thirteen rules of the holy path, which is already quite good."
Judging from the state of the old woman in red, being able to make her say the word "not bad" is already a very high praise.
You must know that if the ninth fish-dragon transformation monk can condense the twelve rules of the holy path, he can already attack the semi-holy realm.
However, a true pride of heaven, even if he condenses the twelve rules of the Holy Path, will not break through easily. Instead, he will continue to comprehend and accumulate, and strive to condense more rules of the Holy Path.
Why do this?
The twelve rules of the Holy Path have been integrated with the monk's holy soul, that is, the monk's twelve holy paths. Even if a semi-saint understands the thirteenth rule of the Holy Path, he cannot integrate into the holy soul.
.
Because, once the monk breaks through to the semi-saint realm, the monk's holy soul will be completely formed and become stable, unable to continue to integrate the rules of the holy way. At that time, the rules of the holy way that have been comprehended can only become an auxiliary to oneself.
Semi-saints can only continue to perfect the rules of the twelve holy paths, or choose one of the rules of the holy path as a master and practice it to the extreme in order to become a saint.
However, the more rules of the Holy Way that are integrated into the Holy Soul, the power of the Holy Soul will definitely be stronger and more comprehensive, which will have endless benefits for future cultivation.
The old woman in red continued: "Between heaven and earth, there are nine kinds of 'Eternal Ways', seventy-two kinds of 'Supreme Holy Ways', three thousand kinds of 'Great Ways', and one hundred thousand kinds of 'Little Ways'."
"In the Fish-Dragon Realm, the stronger the rules of the Holy Way are integrated into the Holy Soul, and the more rules of the Holy Way are integrated, the higher the future achievements will definitely be."
"Now, the thirteen rules of the Holy Path that you have condensed are all just small paths. If you break through to the semi-Saint realm now, then your relatively good seedling will be completely useless."
Obviously, the old woman in red was reminding Zhang Ruochen to prevent him from being too utilitarian and destroying himself.
Zhang Ruochen asked: "I dare to ask my mother-in-law, how can I cultivate the great way, the supreme holy way, the eternal way?"
The red-desired old woman seemed very patient and said: "The small path is easy to achieve, but the great road is difficult to cultivate. The supreme enlightenment is unparalleled in the world."
"Any one of the three thousand avenues is quite mysterious. Only geniuses with extremely high understanding can have the opportunity to practice the rules of the holy way in the fish and dragon realm."
"As for the seventy-two supreme holy paths, they are even more remarkable. Being able to comprehend one of them is enough to benefit from it."
"For example, swordsmanship is one of the seventy-two supreme holy paths."
"It's just that monks in the Fish and Dragon Realm can only have a chance to condense the rules of swordsmanship if they practice Sword One to the tenth level of perfection."
Zhang Ruochen suddenly realized and said: "No wonder most of the monks who have practiced Sword One to the tenth level of perfection in the Fish and Dragon Realm later became Sword Masters. It turned out to be because they integrated the rules of swordsmanship into their martial souls. Just this point alone,
No other sword cultivator can compare."
Sword Dao is one of the seventy-two supreme holy paths. Those who can integrate it into martial souls are naturally quite extraordinary, and their future achievements will definitely be quite astonishing.
The old woman in red said: "In the Fish-Dragon Realm, understanding the rules of swordsmanship and integrating the martial spirit just opens a door. In the future, we must continue to practice unremittingly, improve the rules, and add some small ways and great ways.
Only with the help of others can you have a chance to become a sword master. For example, the way of sharpness, the way of dexterity, the way of speed. Any kind of small way cannot be underestimated."
"Although the Way of Sharpness is only a small way, as long as you can practice to a very high level, you may not have the chance to become a Sword Saint. However, monks use the Way of Sharpness as a basis to attack the realm of Sword Saint, even if they are half-saints
No matter how deeply you understand the way of swordsmanship, it will definitely be quite difficult."
"In the final analysis, any great path requires the assistance of a minor path. Therefore, the more rules of the holy path a monk can understand in the Fish and Dragon Realm, the more benefits he will have in the future."
Zhang Ruochen nodded, and finally had a certain understanding of the small paths, the great roads, and the Supreme Holy Path, so he asked again: "Then do time and space also belong to the Supreme Holy Path?"
The old woman in red shook her head and said: "Time and space belong to two of the nine 'eternal ways'. In addition, there are seven eternal ways, namely: truth, morality, origin,
Light, darkness, destiny, nothingness.”
"Time and space construct the world in which we live."
"Truth and morality have evolved into thousands of knowledge, which is spread between heaven and earth."
"Light and darkness, derived from life and death, good and evil."
"Of course, the most powerful of the nine 'Eternal Ways' are 'fate' and 'nihility'. Destiny can determine everything, and nothingness can destroy everything."
The words of the old woman in red were very mysterious. She had completely broken away from martial arts and even surpassed the holy way. Even with Zhang Ruochen's current state, she could only vaguely understand.
The old woman in red seemed to see the doubts in Zhang Ruochen's heart and said: "Actually, with your current state, it's normal that you can't understand it. The reason why I told you the nine eternal ways is just because you have the power of time and space.
With the imprint, you have a good chance of cultivating the rules of time and space."
"If you can really succeed, you will have the opportunity to become the third time and space controller in the history of Kunlun Realm in the future. However, this road will be very difficult for you."
Zhang Ruochen's expression was solemn and his eyes were firm, and he said: "This junior will definitely work hard. No matter how difficult it is, he will go all out to pursue the ancient way."
The old woman in red shook her head and said: "Since ancient times, in the Fish and Dragon Realm, there are only a handful of people who can comprehend the Nine Ancient Ways, and each one of them is a genius in the world."
"I am not asking you to understand the two eternal ways of time and space, but I hope that you can learn to give up when you are unable to do it. If you practice the sword to the extreme, you can still become an indomitable person.
."
"Time and space can become two auxiliary methods. It is not too late to slowly understand them when you reach the realm of saints. In this way, your sword will be more powerful."
Obviously, the old woman in red did not think that Zhang Ruochen could comprehend the rules of time and space in the Fish-Dragon Realm.
That's why she was worried that Zhang Ruochen would get into a dead end and be trapped in the fish-dragon realm, and would never be able to reach the semi-saint realm.
Although Zhang Ruochen had his own thoughts in his heart, he did not refute it. He humbly accepted the suggestion of the old woman in red and said: "This junior will remember what my mother-in-law said. If in the future, I really cannot understand the rules of time and space, I will definitely not
