It seems that Zheng Fa's previous performance gave Hundred Flowers Fairy and others the illusion that Zheng Fa really has the background of Dao Fruit.
Therefore, when talking about Dao Fruit, Zheng Fa is not tabooed.
But at this time, Zheng Fa was full of doubts, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he was practicing his acting skills while listening - his eyes were bright, he was smiling, and he was nodding.
Hundred Flowers Fairy said again:
"This is the origin of me, Five Sects, and the source of disputes among sects."
Zheng Fa Listen, the more I think about it, the more wrong this is!
If there had not been modern research and Tang Lingwu's sudden discovery, Zheng Fa might not have been so confused.
According to what Hundred Flowers Fairy said, preaching, repaying kindness to heaven and earth, accumulating Merit and mitigating disasters, sounds like it can explain the current situation of the Xuanwei Realm.
But there are many problems:
The most contradictory part is that if heaven and earth think that people who cultivate immortality are thieves and are even suppressing the path of cultivating immortality, then why do they still favor the act of preaching?
On the other hand, if preaching will be rewarded, then the more people who practice Daoism, the better. Then... why is there a great calamity and the decline of Spiritual Qi?
Zheng Fa even has some understanding of the nature of Spiritual Qi - in his opinion, this thing is not a consumable resource.
Since it is not a consumable resource, Hundred Flowers Fairy's so-called theory of repaying kindness to heaven and earth is fundamentally untenable.
Thinking of this, he couldn't even care about the performance, and his eyebrows even wrinkled in confusion.
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly felt that someone in the palace had been looking at him. When he looked up again, he found that Hundred Flowers Fairy and others were looking at him with deep meaning, but there was speculation in their eyes.
At this moment, even a high-quality man from both worlds like Zheng Fa couldn't help but secretly curse:
Gan!
This group of people were not on guard against him. They were simply suspicious of him!
Because of the death of Great Freedom Demon Emperor, they were naturally a little afraid of fighting to the death.
But... who said that only by fighting can one's strength be clearly seen?
Suppose you are a scumbag and go to the International Mathematics Family Conference. If someone chats with you for a few words, they will see that you are at best a tall and handsome temporary security guard with no real talent.
Under this system of the Xuanwei Realm, the higher your strength, the more you understand about spiritual practice. Conversely, the stronger you are, the more able you are to distinguish truth from falsehood, and the more directly you speak the essence of spiritual practice!
How capable you are, if you don't quarrel, don't take action, just chat a few words, everyone will understand.
Looking at Hundred Flowers Fairy's flawless smile, Zheng Fa no longer feels amiable - this is a trap for him to jump out of!
Zheng Fa understood clearly in his heart, but still frowned and said nothing.
Hundred Flowers Fairy had no intention of letting him go. "Zheng Sect Leader, it seems you have some high opinions? I am all ears."
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the palace became even weirder. Even the most stupid person could see that this was another obvious test.
Senior Sister Zhang looked at Zheng Fa, holding Pure Tranquility Bamboo's hand with one hand and Zheng Fa's hand with the other, seeming to be trembling.
Zheng Fa Of course I understand her nervousness.
The situation now is ten times more critical than before - they were outside the island just now, and it was relatively easy for them to escape.
But now on the island, who knows what kind of dangers are hidden in this gorgeous palace and the majestic sea of clouds?
Five Sects It's not that easy to give up doubts about yourself...
Hundred Flowers Fairy This move is really equivalent to digging a hole and asking you to enter the urn. If his words reveal the truth, it may be difficult to escape!
Wuzhi and other Thunderclap Temple disciples could not help but look like they were watching a good show, and seemed to also want to hear what Zheng Fa said.
Xie Qingxue pursed his lips, his eyes showing worry, but he didn't dare to move, he could only act anxiously.
Supreme Dao's Immortal Li sat up straight and opened his squinted eyes slightly.
The old monk lowered his eyes to hide the sharp look in his eyes.
Sect Leader Looking at the sword, I want to try Demon Emperor the virtual and the real.
Everyone is waiting for Zheng Fa to speak.
He was not in a hurry. Instead, he picked up the Hundred Flowers Spirit Tea in front of him and took another sip with a leisurely expression. Then he raised his eyes, looked at Hundred Flowers Fairy, and said with a smile:
"I introduce Golden Core, what advice can you give me?"
The old monk Thunderclap Temple looked at Zheng Fa suddenly, his pupils were cold gold.
Zheng Fa seemed to have not seen his actions and threw the lid of the cup away.
The lid of the cup collided with the cup body, making a clanking sound.
Zheng Fa seemed to be impatient, his eyes were colder and sharper than that of the old monk:
"You are not telling the truth, but you still say you want to hear my opinion?"
"Isn't it ridiculous?"
Zheng Fa Such an expression seemed extremely confident, which actually caused the uncertain golden light in the old monk's eyes to pause slightly.
And Hundred Flowers Fairy's smile was a little forced, and he just said, "Zheng Sect Leader, why did you say this?"
Zheng Fa snorted, "Golden Core, I don't know anything about repaying kindness to heaven and earth. I only know that monk Dao Fruit, people are the law, and the law is people! Preaching is a kind of cultivation!"
"How does it relate to Huanen Tiandi?"
At this moment, he couldn't hide it, he had to come up with something real!
The first thing that can be inferred from Tang Lingwu's Dao Fruit Cell Nucleus Hypothesis and Zheng Fa is--
Dao Fruit monk, with Immortal Method duality:
They are immortals, or in other words, beings, possessing wisdom and eager to survive.
But on the other hand, they are Daoism itself!
As long as there are no problems with the Daoism they created, they will not really die. The perfection of the Daoism is their own progress, or the change in the Daoism is their own mutation.
Even, Tang Lingwu made an almost conjectural metaphor--
If the world is viewed as a computer, then a Dao Fruit monk can even be viewed as an open source software or even a programming language.
The rest of the people who follow and practice Dao Fruit monk Cultivation Method are, to a certain extent, users and improvers of this open source software.
They are maintaining the vitality of this software, expanding its connotation, and enriching its functions.
This is why Zheng Fa said that preaching is part of spiritual practice!
Privately, Zheng Fa prefers this explanation - not because he is conceited, but in his opinion, this explanation, compared with the theory of repaying kindness to heaven proposed by Five Sects, eliminates an unsatisfactory assumption: heaven and earth have their own will, and will even reward and punish monks, but this will is self-contradictory.
According to Occam's Razor Principle, he is also more willing to believe in Tang Lingwu's understanding...
Of course, at this time, he couldn't find a second explanation that made him more confident.
Zheng Fa said it.
There was silence in the hall. Wuzhi, Xie Qingxue and others were a little confused, but they all looked at the sitting elders.
The old monk Thunderclap Temple lowered his eyes slightly, chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice, and his face was filled with compassion.
Hundred Flowers Fairy's eyes were slightly focused, but her smile was a little stiff - it could be seen that she was a little worried that she had offended Zheng Fa.
Xie Qingxue showed his face and Wuzhi lowered his eyes. At this time, no one understood that Zheng Fa's words were the truth that was recognized by monk Dao Fruit!
And the person who can tell this truth is at least as knowledgeable as Dao Fruit!
Strength is proven by the death of Great Freedom Demon Emperor.
Knowledge, Five Sects Dao Fruit heard it with my own ears.
In other words, it was not until this moment that Zheng Fa's strength or hidden methods were truly recognized by monk Five Sects Dao Fruit!
Zheng Fa smiled and seemed not to mind at all--
The benefits he received exceeded these people's knowledge:
Just now, he also had a realization: Spiritual-Energy Cell Nucleus's theory seems to have been partially verified, at least it is consistent with the cognition of these Dao Fruit monks!
The atmosphere in the palace truly relaxed. Hundred Flowers Fairy actually stood up, gave Zheng Fa a gentle blessing, and apologized:
"Zheng Sect Leader, it's not that we are in trouble, but... I, Five Sects, have gone through many hardships to get to where I am today."
"You Hundred Immortals Alliance are developing so fast, we are really worried."
Although these words were no longer a polite joke, they sounded much more sincere than before.
She continued, "Actually, we are like this because if Sect Leader you are not strong enough, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing to take charge of the Xuanwei Realm alone in the future."
Zheng Fa was stunned and didn't know why Hundred Flowers Fairy said that.
But he knew that he had no choice--
He joined Five-Sect Alliance Assembly not to fight for territory, but... to dispel Five Sects's suspicions.
But Hundred Immortals Alliance said that it is a disaster rather than a blessing, how do you say it?
Just listen to Hundred Flowers Fairy explain to him:
"What Zheng Sect Leader said is reasonable. We practitioners are going against nature..."
"Preaching to the world is just for self-strengthening. How can you repay the kindness of heaven and earth? These are the words of ordinary people. We are just joking."
"Preaching the truth is the best way for us, Loose Immortal, to practice! But the secular world is ultimately ignorant, and it can only affect us, Dao Fruit."
Zheng Fa listened carefully, and then heard Hundred Flowers Fairy say:
"Divine Way Ze was tainted by all sentient beings and dyed with worldly thoughts until he went crazy."
These words are vaguely consistent with Nine Nether's message back then.
seems correct.
"Immortal Way is not like that. Immortal Sect chooses people with extraordinary talents and minds, and chooses the best among ordinary people to avoid losing their sanity."
Zheng Fa has never heard of this, but now I think about it:
People with extraordinary talents, in Tang Lingwu's metaphor, are equivalent to those core contributors:
Maybe 90% of the useful code was written by those few people...
The rest of the people, how should I put it, don't have to write if they don't know how to write.
"But the talent is extraordinary, but there is a fatal problem... The talent is too amazing, so he takes over the magpie's nest and becomes Dao Fruit."
"So Devil Ancestor was born again."
Devil Ancestor... equivalent to a closed system?
Emphasis on control?
In this way, Zheng Fa has some understanding of the pros and cons of Divine Way, Immortal Way, and Demonic Way.
Divine Way has the biggest problem, so it is almost dead.
Immortal Way and Demonic Way each have their own advantages and disadvantages, so they have been passed down to this day.
But the question is, what is the great catastrophe?
And why does Five Sects occupy the territory and population?
Various conjectures flashed through his mind, and finally, Mu Qingyan's face appeared in front of him:
"Divine Spirits walks on the earth, Ancient Immortals lives on the top of the mountain."
"The immortal god has become the master of Xuanwei."
If what she said about the future is true, then are these so-called Ancient Immortals and Divine Spirits the ones of Five Sects of Xuanwei?
Thinking of this, Zheng Fa suddenly had another guess:
Five Sects appears in the world and controls Xuanwei to prevent some Ancient Immortals Divine Spirits who do not belong to Five Sects of Xuanwei from increasing their strength with the help of Xuanwei's mortal population?
To use the metaphor of Tang Lingwu again, is it necessary to seize the market first?
Of course, such behavior can also enhance the strength of these Dao Fruit monks.
However, spreading the word widely, or even adopting Divine Way methods, always has some consequences.
If it weren't for the great changes in the world, Five Sects probably wouldn't have adopted such a method that was avoided in the past.
Even the deliberate harmony at this time and a little tolerance for Zheng Fa are just because of fear of internal friction?
With this thought in mind, he looked around the palace and knew that this was the time to verify many things, so he simply asked:
"This alliance is to control the speed of Ancient Immortals's recovery?"
Wuzhi and others had a look of confusion on their faces, obviously they had never heard of resuscitation.
But Hundred Flowers Fairy and others looked at Zheng Fa with more solemn expressions, and their tone of voice was a little more equal:
"That's right. According to Supreme Dao records, this calamity is greater than before. It can be called Measureless Kalpa, Myriad Realms Unite, Spiritual Qi will truly be cut off."
"The appearance of immortal gods will inevitably disturb Xuanwei."
"As the person in charge of Xuanwei, I, Five Sects, must not be careless."
Zheng Fa I understand--
Ancient Immortals is not allowed to appear in the world (×).
Only our Ancient Immortals is allowed to appear (√).
It's just...Tianhe Sect Why are you joining in the fun?
Zheng Fa gave Tianhe Sect Master Yan a strange look, you come here as if you are willing to Venerable Tianhe come again.
But Myriad Realms Unite? The meaning behind these words gave Zheng Fa some ideas.
But it's hard to ask now - thinking about it, this statement is not a secret among the Dao Fruit monks. If you ask too many questions and make many mistakes, it will also expose the secret that he is a fake academic master.
At this time, Zheng Fa can be sure of only three points:
1. Before Dao Fruit, monks were learners, so they did not care about preaching. After Dao Fruit, the strength of monks, at least in the Loose Immortal stage, largely depends on the number and quality of those who practice his method.
Loose Immortal Nine Tribulations, I'm afraid it's not false. Preaching can help to overcome tribulations, and it's probably not fabricated.
Second, what Mu Qingyan said about the future is most likely true. Among them, Ancient Immortals and Divine Spirits, I am afraid that most of them do not belong to today's Five Sects of Xuanwei, otherwise they would not be so vigilant.
Third, Five Sects will not only control the resurrected Dao Fruit monks, but also very likely will not allow non-Five Sects monks to be promoted to Dao Fruit--Zheng Fa can be stable now because he has been regarded as a Dao Fruit, or in other words, there is a Dao Fruit behind him.
I have tiger skin on my body!
But Zheng Fa knows that he is not!
In the current situation, he doesn't have much time left:
If Ancient Immortals really comes to this world, the first target will of course be Nine Mountains Sect, the weakest among the six sects.
At that time, it would be too difficult to scare away Dao Fruit with tiger skin!
In this way, the safest time for the Nine Mountains Realm is probably from now until the moment when Ancient Immortals really arrives!
He glanced at Senior Sister Zhang. The two of them had the same mind, and immediately knew that they wanted to work together:
You must seize resources, enhance your strength, and transform yourself from a "fake Dao Fruit" into a real Dao Fruit during this period of time!
Even want to become the strong one among Dao Fruit!
According to the cultivation realm Hundred Flowers Fairy inadvertently revealed, the current realm of the Xuanwei Realm is probably:
Qi Refinement Realm, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, if it is Supreme Dao, after Spirit Transformation, it is Yang Spirit, Corpse Liberation, and then it is Loose Immortal.
Other sects should be pretty much the same.
Loose Immortal should be the first realm of the Dao Fruit Realm.
Now with the help of Fusang Wood and Myriad Demon Banner, he has vaguely surpassed the realm of Corpse Liberation, but in essence, he is still Golden Core.
Mu Qingyan's "previous life" only lived less than ten thousand years. So, in ten thousand years at most, Ancient Immortals will appear in Xuanwei...
In fact, I am afraid that time is not so abundant, maybe less than a thousand years, or even less than a hundred years.
No one can say for sure.
In future actions, we must be more adventurous and even take the initiative to earn more resources.
In a short period of time, his strength must make great progress!
In this way, occupying more territory is of greater significance to Zheng Fa:
Maybe Dao Fruit monks don't care much about some Xuanwei Realm ordinary Cultivation Resources.
But given Zheng Fa's current state, many resources they thought were useless were actually very helpful to him!
He even has to use the production capabilities of the Nine Mountains Sect and Hundred Immortals Alliance to exchange for more spiritual spiritual objects he needs!
At this time, he had just arrived at the time when Five Sects was dividing the territory.
It took ten days for them to come up with a result.
The floor of the main hall turned into a vast map, with the names of various sects densely packed on it, and the more cherished spiritual places everywhere were also marked very clearly.
Zheng Fa is also the first time to see the map of the Xuanwei Realm.
Xuanwei Realm The world is extremely vast.
The location of the Hundred Immortals Alliance is probably in the northwest of the Eastern Continent, close to Sea Region.
Eastern Continent's center is slightly south, and almost half of it is occupied by Supreme Dao, which shows its strength and status.
To the west, next to the Hundred Immortals Alliance, is Vast Sun Mountain.
As far as the "memory" of Mu Qingyan is concerned, the land of the Hundred Immortals Alliance will probably be a conflict zone between Great Freedom Demon Emperor and Vast Sun Mountain in the future, with constant disputes.
And Tianhe Sect is located in the far east of the Eastern Continent.
Three-fifths of the Western Continent is occupied by Thunderclap Temple, and its territory is no smaller than Supreme Dao.
The site of Thunderclap Temple can be said to be across the sea from the Hundred Immortals Alliance.
A little further to the extreme west is Jade Pool.
Comparing the territory of Five Sects, the territory of the Hundred Immortals Alliance is not even one-tenth of the smallest Vast Sun Mountain.
When dividing the territory, Hundred Flowers Fairy and others did not ask Zheng Fa for his opinion:
Recognition of Zheng Fa's strength is one thing.
But this recognition does not mean that they are willing to give up their territory and population...
After all, in just ten days, these Dao Fruit monks had to pull back and forth on the land in each state like a wet market lady.
They seem to only want to let Zheng Fa continue to occupy Hundred Immortals Alliance's original territory.
Suffice it to say, there's a bit of respect, but not much.
Zheng Fa is not very satisfied--
For the same reason, at this moment, I need resources more than before.
Lies will always be exposed one day.
The bigger the territory, the faster he will progress in the future, and the better.
Even if you think a little more, the real disputes in the future may gradually be over Dao Fruit. He has achieved Dao Fruit, but he also needs more territory and population to strengthen himself.
But...
Easier said than done?
After Hundred Flowers Fairy and others finished talking, it seemed that they finally remembered Zheng Fa, and then said to him, "Zheng Sect Leader, what do you think?"
Zheng Fa was silent for a moment, then suddenly took out Myriad Demon Banner and asked, "In the past, Five Sects seemed to have an appointment with Great Freedom Demon Emperor?"
"As agreed, Demon Emperor is in charge of Sea Region?"
"..."
Five Sects Loose Immortal was stunned, and immediately looked at Myriad Demon Banner, and saw Zheng Fa's innocent face, and sighed:
"Since ancient times, this Sea Region has been Demon Race's territory."
"I am the generation Demon Emperor."
"He is the successor of Myriad Demon Banner and the descendant of Great Freedom Demon Emperor."
"This Sea Region belongs to me Hundred Immortals Alliance, isn't it right?"
These words made Hundred Flowers Fairy and others blush. You said you are the descendant of Great Freedom Demon Emperor?
Does he agree?
But looking at Myriad Demon Banner, who was shaking slightly in Zheng Fa's hand and shining brightly, they had to admit that unless Great Freedom Demon Emperor came back to life, the descendant of Zheng Fa would stick to him...
