Yuanshi asked: "I dare to ask the ancestor, what is the difference between the saint and Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian?"
Hongjun said: "The saint is Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, but Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian is not necessarily a saint. What they have in common is that they have cultivated the Hunyuan Dao fruit that will last forever. The difference is that the saint's soul rests in the void, and
The way of heaven is in harmony with the world, and it is immortal. It can also borrow the power of heaven and earth, and its magic power will never be lacking. In the same realm, the strength of the saint is better than that of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian."
Tongtian asked: "I dare to ask the ancestors, how many ways to become a saint?"
Hongjun said: "There are three thousand great avenues, each of which can prove the Hunyuan. But in summary, there are three methods for cultivating the Way of the Soul that Pindao cultivates."
Jie Yin said: "What three types?"
Hongjun said: "First, prove the Tao with force. That is, use your own strength to break the shackles of the Tao of Heaven. The soul transcends the Tao of Heaven, merges with the Tao, and becomes an existence on par with the Tao of Heaven. This is a saint of the Tao."
"Second, the three corpses prove the Tao. After killing the three corpses, the three corpses can be combined into one. First, they can cultivate the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, and then the soul can be placed in the void to become a saint."
"Third, merit and enlightenment. Merit is the origin and evolution of the way of heaven. You can use immeasurable merit to directly gain enlightenment of the way of heaven and cultivate the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian Dao fruit. However, the Hunyuan Dao fruit is difficult to achieve. Before that, the soul must communicate with the way of heaven.
Only with the help of the power of heaven can it be condensed into the Hunyuan Dao Fruit."
Nuwa asked: "How does the Yuan Shen communicate with the way of heaven?"
Ancestor Hongjun said: "This requires the Hongmeng Purple Qi, which is the foundation of the Great Dao. The Hongmeng Purple Qi is the bridge between the Yuan Shen and the Heavenly Dao. Without the Hongmeng Purple Qi, even if you have countless merits, you will not be able to achieve the Dao of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, let alone become a saint.
.”
Dongwang Gongdao: "That is to say, the first two methods, even without the Hongmeng Ziqi to become a saint, can also cultivate the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian Dao Fruit. But the method of merit and enlightenment must first communicate with the heavenly spirit. If there is no Hongmeng Ziqi,
Qi, no matter how much merit you have, you can't achieve the Hunyuan Dao fruit?"
Ancestor Hongjun said: "The Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal is immortal and can exist forever in the infinite chaos. It has escaped from the cage of heaven to a certain extent. If you cannot cultivate the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, you need to use your merits to evolve the original image of heaven.
Cultivate the Hunyuan Dao Fruit through initiation. This can only be achieved successfully if the soul rests on the way of heaven and merges with each other. Therefore, if there is only merit and virtue without the Hongmeng Purple Qi, the Hunyuan Dao Fruit cannot be achieved."
Duke Dong Wang knew clearly that the most reliable of these three methods was the method of killing three corpses. Not to mention the method of proving the Tao through force, the method of proving the Tao through merit seemed the simplest, but the merit was too difficult to obtain.
Moreover, this way of enlightenment is to directly understand the origin of the way of heaven, which is equivalent to answering the questions after you have the answers. After all, I have not really gone through it in a down-to-earth manner, and the foundation is much worse than the method of the three corpses.
And according to this view, the method of merit and enlightenment must first communicate with the way of heaven, and the soul must be placed in the void, that is, become a saint first, and then condense the Hunyuan Dao fruit, which is the opposite sequence to the three corpses' enlightenment.
This also means that there are two choices for the three corpses to achieve enlightenment. They can either just become a carefree Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, or they can further become a saint. However, if you first bind the soul to the enlightenment of merit, you can only become a saint and cannot choose to become a saint.
A relatively free Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.
Hongjun continued: "Those who prove the Tao through force are the saints of the Tao. They only exist in imagination and are completely impossible. Under the way of heaven, saints are also ants. Just imagine a person who cannot even achieve the realm of Hunyuan.
How can people break away from the Dao of Heaven? This is equivalent to asking a mortal to reach the sky in one step without using any tools. It completely violates the laws of the Dao, so there is nothing."
"In addition to these three methods, there is another method of enlightenment that already exists, which is to follow the path of law and body refining. Today's Witch Clan and the Chaos Demon God all follow this method."
"But the way to refine the body according to the law is to directly use the body as the universe, to be in harmony with the heaven and earth, to understand the great laws between heaven and earth, and to imprint the power of the understood laws on the body. Only then can you raise your hands and feet, which is the embodiment of power.
"
"But on the one hand, the law is difficult to comprehend, and on the other hand, the body is difficult to bear. If you want to cultivate the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, you must first train your body to be as strong as the innate treasure. Only then is it possible."
"The Chaos Demon God is born powerful. He was born in chaos. His body is indestructible. At the same time, he also has his soul to understand the laws of the great road. Therefore, he can easily master a great road and achieve the Hunyuan Dao Fruit."
"But it is too difficult for the creatures in the prehistoric times to achieve enlightenment through the law. Unless the twelve ancestral witches in the Quasi-Saint Perfection Realm unite and break through their bodies to the Hunyuan Realm, there may be hope of cultivating the Taoist Fruit, otherwise it is basically impossible."
"The Dao of Yuanshen cultivated by the poor Taoist has only summarized the three methods of realizing the Dao of the Yuan Shen. The path to attaining the Dao of the Yuan Shen is based on the path of body refining, which the poor Taoist is not very proficient in."
After Hongjun finished speaking, he began to explain the method of condensing Hunyuan Dao Fruit, the secrets and his own insights. After everyone got to know the saint, they all listened attentively, for fear of missing a word.
Three thousand years passed in the blink of an eye. After Hongjun finished speaking, he remained silent.
When everyone thought of the immeasurable power of the saint, they felt itchy and unbearable. I asked again: "I dare to ask the ancestors, who can become a saint?"
Hongjun was silent for a moment and said expressionlessly: "Under the way of heaven, there are eight saints."
"I, Yuanshi, Tongtian, you three are transformed by Pangu Yuanshen, inherit Pangu's legacy, and deserve to enjoy the supreme status of heaven and earth. Are you three willing to worship me as your teacher?"
The hearts of the three of them were moved, and they hurriedly knelt down and said: "The disciple Meng Daozu taught the Dharma, and he has already become a master and disciple. Meng Daozu will not give up, and the disciple pays homage to the teacher."
Hongjun nodded with a smile and said: "There are three Hongmeng Purple Qi here, and I will give them to you three, so that you can achieve enlightenment and achieve the status of a saint."
Sanqing took the Hongmeng Ziqi with excitement on his face, kowtowed and thanked him, and sat back on the futon amidst the envy, jealousy and hatred of everyone.
Hongjun then said: "Nuwa, you have a great meritorious deeds to do in the future, are you willing to close the door for me as a disciple?"
The surprise came so suddenly, Nuwa was stunned for a few seconds, then she knelt down on the ground at Fuxi's reminder, kowtowed to her master with excitement, and then received a beam of Hongmeng Purple Qi as she wished.
After Hongjun bestowed four rays of Hongmeng Purple Qi, he kept silent and stopped talking. This made other innate gods below who thought they were qualified to become saints anxious. They all scratched their heads and hoped that Dao Ancestor would continue to give them the foundation for sainthood.
Seeing that the other four people on the futon had received the opportunity to become saints, Zhunti and Jie Yin were the only two brothers with empty hands. For a moment, they no longer cared about being reserved. They hurriedly knelt down and cried: "Please, Taoist ancestors, have mercy on me, the poor and impoverished people in the West."
, he also accepted my brother as his disciple and gave us opportunities to benefit the Western Continent."
Hongjun opened his eyes and said calmly: "I hope you two will remember what you said. However, you and I have a shallow fate, so we can only be registered disciples."
After receiving the invitation, Zhunti was immediately overjoyed when he heard that there was a way. Although he was a registered disciple, he was still better than outsiders, wasn't he? He hurriedly and respectfully performed the apprenticeship ceremony, his attitude of respect was no worse than that of direct disciples such as Sanqing.
At that moment, Hongjun gave the two of them Hongmeng Purple Qi. At this point, the six people sitting on the futon in front all received the foundation of sanctification.
This scene made Ancestor Hongyun and Ancestor Kunpeng extremely regretful, especially Ancestor Kunpeng. If he had insisted on refusing to give up his seat at that time, the Hongmeng Purple Qi he was receiving now would have been his own.
When he thought of this, he hated Patriarch Hongyun who took the initiative to give up the throne and persuaded him to give up the throne. At the same time, he hated Brother Dijun even more for the brothers who made a fuss and chased him down.
But brother Dijun had no intention of paying attention to Kunpeng's thoughts at this time. Six of the eight saints had gone to the throne at this time, but among these six people, even Nuwa, who had the lowest sense of existence among the four emperors of the demon clan, was not present.
How can they endure this as brothers?
Seeing that the two men received the purple energy after crying and begging, Emperor Jun no longer cared about the majesty of the Emperor of Heaven. He hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "Taozu, as a disciple, as the Emperor of Heaven and the Lord of the prehistoric world, there are great things."
I have made great contributions to heaven and earth, and I sincerely ask the Taoist ancestors to give my disciples the opportunity to become saints."
Ancestor Hongjun said indifferently: "The saint has the authority to teach and teach the people in the ancient times. At the same time, he guides the people to be good and reduce the breeding of cause and effect, so as to facilitate the growth and advancement of the world."
"But the way of heaven values balance, so saints cannot be great and cannot hold the authority over living beings, criminal laws, and order."
"The Emperor of Heaven is the ruler of the prehistoric times and is the greatest of heaven and earth. His responsibilities are opposite to those of the saints. He cannot control the power of education, but only controls the criminal law and order of heaven and earth."
"Therefore, a saint cannot become the emperor of heaven, and the emperor of heaven cannot become a saint."
When Emperor Jun heard this, he felt like five thunders striking the ground, feeling regretful and angry. He never expected that the position of Emperor of Heaven that he had worked so hard to seek would actually become an obstacle to his becoming a saint.
Although the position of the Emperor of Heaven is good, strength is always respected in the ancient continent. Although he has a high status now, he cannot move even the innate gods of the first level. If he could become a saint and possess immeasurable divine power, how dare these people not be obedient?
What?
Hongjun continued: "You don't have to be discouraged. The Emperor of Heaven and the Queen of Heaven are called Great Heavenly Lords. They are the first and second-ranked positions in the prehistoric world. They are only stronger than the saints. If you use them well, you will be able to wait and see.
After cultivating the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian Dao Fruit, you can also mobilize the power of heaven and earth at will, speak the constitution of heaven, and follow the law when you speak, and you will never be worse than a saint."
Emperor Jun had no choice but to kneel down and thank Daozu. At the same time, he thought about Daozu's words and felt that they were quite reasonable.
After all, there are many saints, but there is only one heavenly emperor. It is self-evident which one is more noble.
