The defense of the disembodied Skeleton Emperor was extremely weak and could not withstand the strangulation of the power of space. He was soon destroyed by the bombardment of the black and white storm!
Although the Skeleton Emperor's abilities are astonishing, the magical powers he exerts are still based on his own power of dead souls and curses. However, this type of magical powers cannot harm Zhang Daoling, who masters the power of law.
In other words, Zhang Daoling's own existence is like the nemesis of the Skeleton Emperor.
Of course, the Skeleton Emperor would not really be killed by Zhang Daoling.
In fact, the Skeleton Emperor absorbed too many evil souls from the Demon Suppressing Tower, and his soul body was contaminated with excessive death energy. He has long since become a dead soul and cannot exist in the world in a complete body.
The Skeleton Emperor summoned by the Demon Suppressing Tower exists as a phantom spirit body. In other words, it is part of the soul power of the Skeleton Emperor himself, which can be regarded as a soul clone.
What was killed by the black and white storm was only the soul clone of the Skeleton Emperor, and it would not harm the life of the Skeleton Emperor.
Even so, the clone was completely defeated, which inevitably caused a great loss in the soul power of the main body.
Shen Lang may not be able to awaken the Skeleton Emperor for a long time.
Seeing the phantom form of the Skeleton Emperor being instantly killed by the black and white storm released by Zhang Daoling, Shen Lang's face turned extremely ugly. It seemed that this Daoling was more powerful than he imagined.
Duan Lei and Bingxue also had earth-colored faces.
No matter how much you don’t want to admit it, you have to say that this clone of Yuanshi Tianzun is simply unfathomable!
However, in this picture, Daoling actually called Shen Lang "disciple", which really made Bingxue and Duan Lei a little incredible.
"Are you... Yuanshi Tianzun or Zhang Daoling?"
Shen Lang did not rush to take action, but gritted his teeth and asked.
Although Zhang Daoling's identity has almost been determined, Shen Lang still has doubts. He feels that there should be a more subtle relationship between Yuanshi Tianzun and Zhang Daoling, rather than just the clone and the original one.
Bingxue and Duan Lei on the side saw that Shen Lang chose to talk to Zhang Daoling, so they did not take action rashly, but waited and watched.
Zhang Daoling looked calm and said: "It can be either Yuanshi Tianzun or Zhang Daoling. There are indeed differences between us. Although we are not of the same mind, our knowledge and actions are unified."
Listening to this misty words, Shen Lang frowned: "Since you have already appeared, why bother beating around the bush? I am asking you whether you represent the will of Yuanshi Tianzun, or do you represent the will of the clone?
Or is it that Yuanshi Tianzun, Zhang Daoling and Taiyi Zhenren are basically the same person?"
Facing Shen Lang's questions one after another, Zhang Daoling shook off the fly whisk in his hand and said calmly: "To this day, it doesn't matter if I tell you as a teacher. Have you ever heard of the method of 'killing three corpses'?"
"nature!"
Shen Lang raised his eyebrows. He had seen in ancient books the saying of "killing three corpses to prove the great way of heaven and earth".
The so-called three corpses are the three sources of good thoughts, evil thoughts, and obsessions within oneself, also known as the "roots of the three corpses."
The good thoughts, evil thoughts, and obsessions in the roots of the three corpses cannot be simply understood as three kinds of thoughts in a literal sense. For example, the roots of evil thoughts can also be the root of anger, hatred, and other emotions, or they can be created.
Cause and effect of killing and destruction.
If we really want to analyze it in depth, just describing these three corpses would be enough to write several classics.
To truly understand the root of the three corpses, a monk needs years of experience.
In short, the roots of the three corpses are often clearly felt only when the monks reach the level of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.
Legend has it that before the age of gods, if a true immortal wanted to reach the level of the Taoist Heavenly Lord, he had to cut off the roots of his three corpses, eliminate all sources that would affect his thoughts, and trace his true self in order to achieve the unity of heaven and man.
territory.
There may be some alternative methods that can avoid the step of beheading three corpses, but such examples are too rare and rare.
The Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian before the age of gods can only be promoted to the Taoist Heavenly Lord by cutting off the roots of his own three corpses.
However, cutting off the three corpses does not mean that the monk has no good, evil and obsession. It only cuts off the influence of the roots of the three corpses on himself, thereby maintaining his absolute self and achieving a pure body.
As for whether one performs good deeds or evil deeds, it is only determined by the self, and it has nothing essentially to do with killing the three corpses.
That's too far.
Zhang Daoling continued: "In the past, when I was still cultivating in Zixiao Palace, I found a new way from the method taught by ancestor Hongjun, cultivated and formed the roots of my three corpses, and achieved the position of Tianzun!"
"What! Cultivation of three corpses into shape?"
Shen Lang's eyes narrowed, showing an expression of disbelief.
The Taoist ancestors and deities in history all talked about beheading the three corpses, but I have never heard of anyone who could cultivate the three corpses into shape.
Zhang Daoling said frankly: "Yes, the root of obsession is the deity, the root of good thoughts is the teacher, and the root of the evil thoughts is Taiyi Qingwei. For a long time, the teacher and Qingwei have been integrated with the deity, until Feng Feng
In the age of gods, the two of us left the infancy of our true bodies and cultivated on our own."
"When it comes to the battle to destroy the world, my master and Taiyi Qingwei's cultivation is only Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, so they cannot be compared with this deity. But as the 'two corpses' of this deity, they can become the host body of this deity at any time.
, transformed into the true Yuanshi Tianzun."
"So, my teacher is both Yuanshi Tianzun and not Yuanshi Tianzun. Whether it is yes or no is decided by me." Zhang Daoling said eloquently.
Shen Lang almost understood the meaning of Zhang Daoling's words.
The "Zhang Daoling" standing in front of him is not as simple as a clone of Yuanshi Tianzun, but one of the three corpses split from Yuanshi Tianzun. Although he retains an independent consciousness, Yuanshi Tianzun can appear as Zhang Daoling at any time.
It can be imagined that Zhang Daoling in front of him is the body that Yuanshi Tianzun can use at any time!
This experience can be described as quite strange.
Shen Lang sarcastically said: "Zhang Daoling, I thought you would be deeper and more unpredictable, but it turns out you are just a chess piece that is firmly controlled by Yuanshi Tianzun."
Zhang Daoling said sternly: "It's not what the disciple imagined. Although there is a huge gap between the teacher and the master, they are essentially a community of destiny. You have me, and I have you. I am the decision-maker behind the scenes, and the master and Tai
Yi Qingwei is the one who takes action."
Shen Lang said sharply: "I know why you and that Taiyi master are just Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. You two are basically used by Yuanshi Tianzun to do dirty work!"
"You said that you two did not break away from the original deities until the Conferred Gods Era and practiced alone. During the Conferred Gods Era, the "Conferred Gods List" happened to appear in the world. Due to this restriction, the Taoist Heavenly Lords were often tied up. Presumably the same was true for the Yuanshi Heavenly Lord, so they split you
The two of them can do things for him to help him achieve his ambition to become a true god step by step!"
Shen Lang revealed Yuanshi Tianzun's intentions with one word, and turned to Zhang Daoling: "Am I... right?"
