Patriarch Bodhi said: "Little friend Shen Lang's answer is wonderful.
Whether it is good or evil, others can judge for themselves, but in Pindao's eyes, he is an 'extremely evil' person."
"Why did the Immortal Ancestor say this?"
Shen Lang asked curiously.
Patriarch Bodhi did not answer immediately, but asked instead: "Little friend Shen Lang, does he know what it means to cultivate to the right fruition?"
Shen Lang thought for a while and replied: "Being able to become a Taoist Heavenly Master like the Immortal Ancestor may be the result of cultivation."
"No, no!"
Patriarch Bodhi shook his head and said: "The poor Taoist may have been unattainable in the eyes of my friends during his lifetime, but he is actually one of the living beings under the rules of heaven. There is no essential difference from snakes, insects, rats and ants. This is far from being called
It is the result of cultivation."
"Any given life under the rules of heaven will eventually decay and die.
Even Dao Ancestor Tianzun is like this."
Hearing this, Shen Lang was greatly shocked.
The power of Taoist Wukong's will also told him at the beginning that no one can escape the cycle of reincarnation through the ages.
Subject to the reincarnation of heaven, any life will end one day.
"In Pindao's eyes, the true fruit of cultivation is to be able to break the reincarnation of heaven, not be controlled by the cycle of reincarnation, and gain eternal life in the true sense. This... is also the realm that Pindao has been pursuing all his life."
"It's a pity that as long as the creatures in the world are covered by the rules of heaven, they will never reach that state."
Patriarch Bodhi said with regret.
Shen Lang frowned and said, "Maybe... that kind of realm doesn't exist at all?"
Patriarch Bodhi shook his head and chuckled: "The rules under heaven are not static. The past list of gods is an excellent example. This is enough to show that the laws of heaven can be rewritten.
In this case, there must be existences that we cannot imagine that can control the laws of heaven at all times and maintain the operation of the fairy world."
Shen Lang couldn't help but said: "What the Immortal Ancestor means is that there is some unimaginably powerful existence that controls the true immortal world?"
Patriarch Bodhi said: "I can't tell for sure. Perhaps only by reaching the level of the true god Pangu can we fully understand the cycle of heaven and the truth of the movement of the world."
"True God..." Shen Lang was shocked and couldn't help but ask: "If you step into the realm of the True God, will you achieve the right result?"
Patriarch Bodhi said calmly: "Little friend Shen Lang, I cannot answer your question.
The true god Pangu opened up the present era, but since Pangu’s death, no one has been able to cultivate to the realm of the true god.”
"In the past, Emperor Donghuang and Emperor Jun set up the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Formation" on the top of Kunxu to absorb the power of the stars and condense the 'godhead'. However, they failed in the last step, triggering heavenly punishment and causing a catastrophic disaster.
From then on, no monks in the world could be as close to the realm of true gods as Donghuang and Dijun.
There is no true god in the true immortal world, so no one can prove which step you have reached to achieve the true fruition of cultivation."
Shen Lang asked curiously: "Juniors heard that Dao Ancestor Tianzun rushed to compete for the ranking on the list of gods. I wonder if the ranking on the list of gods is related to the achievement of cultivation?"
Patriarch Bodhi smiled lightly and said, "My little friend is indeed smart.
Since the appearance of the list of gods, the Taoist ancestor Tianzun of the True Immortal World thought that by climbing to the top of the list of gods, he could condense his 'godhead' and achieve righteousness, so he founded a sect to spread morality, cultivate believers, and accumulate the power of faith... Pindao is also one of them.
, so we set up this "Slanting Moon and Three Stars Cave"."
"The competition on the list of gods seems to be fierce, but from the beginning to the end, the top spot is vacant. The law of heaven has fooled all the Taoist ancestors, but it also forcibly restrained all the Taoist ancestors and maintained the stability of the true immortal world."
Shen Lang sighed: "That's it."
According to this statement, the list of gods is like a tool for controlling the real immortal world, which makes people think deeply and fearfully.
Patriarch Bodhi continued: "The poor Taoist knows that he has no hope of achieving the True Fruition, so he recruits many disciples, hoping that among the disciples there will be those who can surpass the poor Taoist, take the step that the poor Taoist cannot take, and achieve the True Fruition."
"Pangu taught us that all things follow the way of heaven.
Anyone who conforms to the way of heaven cannot break the prison of the way of heaven, not even the Taoist Heavenly Lord.
If you want to break the rules set by heaven, perhaps you can only deviate from the traditional ways, find a new way, and fight against heaven, earth, and laws."
"Because of this, most of the disciples accepted by Pindao have non-conformist personalities, and there are many who have a murderous streak and do many evil things after becoming a master.
The worst one is Deng Yin, the Son of Blood God.
Although Deng Yin was the only one who could ignore the list of gods and break the established rules, he was eventually controlled by his own evil thoughts and became a madman."
"In order to catch a glimpse of the step that he could not take, the poor Taoist did not discipline his disciples, which led many disciples to go to extremes.
In this regard, Pindao also has an unshirkable responsibility. In Pindao's eyes, he is really a selfish and evil person."
Patriarch Bodhi spoke in a calm tone.
Shen Lang said in a deep voice: "The Immortal Ancestor did not teach people to do evil, he only taught his disciples how to show their true self.
At least in the eyes of the younger generation, Immortal Ancestor is not doing evil things, he is just letting your disciples implement his own ideas."
Patriarch Bodhi said: "It is not so much an idea as it is the boring obsession of a poor Taoist.
Since little friend Shen Lang is willing to believe that poor people are not evil, you and I can continue to communicate."
Shen Lang nodded slightly, feeling a little strange.
The Bodhi Patriarch in front of him was obviously a super powerful person that he could not imagine, but he could make people feel so easy-going and let go of all nervousness, as if chatting with an old friend he hadn't seen for many years. This made Shen Lang feel a sense of admiration from the bottom of his heart.
"Back to the topic.
My dear friend Shen Lang, the reason why I invited you in the Immortal Worshiping Picture is because I hope you can save the immortal world, break the cycle of reincarnation, and achieve righteousness."
Shen Lang was startled for a moment, and then shook his head with a wry smile: "With my humble cultivation, I don't have any delusions that I can achieve great results. As long as I can save the True Immortal Realm and survive the catastrophe in the future, I will be satisfied."
Patriarch Bodhi smiled slightly: "Hahaha, although the poor Taoist has lost his body and spirit and can't help you much, he can still give you some pointers."
Shen Lang's eyes were shining brightly, and he quickly saluted: "It's a great help for me if Immortal Ancestor can give me some guidance for this younger generation. I'm very grateful to you!"
"You and I are destined, so there is no need to say thank you."
Patriarch Bodhi smiled indifferently, and then asked: "Little friend Shen Lang, do you know how to save the true immortal world in the future catastrophe?"
Shen Lang said bluntly: "According to the information I got earlier, it should be that by gathering all the fragments of heaven and activating the lotus lantern that can reverse the universe, we may be able to reverse time and space... As for what to do next, I don't know.
Already."
“The overall steps are pretty good.
Little friend Shen Lang, although others have been guiding you to collect the fragments of Heaven's Dao, do you know what the fragments of Heaven's Dao are?"
Patriarch Bodhi continued to ask.
"This... junior doesn't know, please ask the Immortal Ancestor to clarify!"
Even though Shen Lang had collected five fragments of Heaven's Dao, he still didn't know what the fragments of Heaven's Dao were and what their abilities were, so he was naturally very curious.
