Zhang Wanzhi Their first reaction was that this was simply impossible!
Yin and Yang are both first-tier avenues. It is already very difficult to completely master one of them alone, let alone mastering two avenues at the same time!
This takes a long time, requires amazing talent, and requires incomparable perseverance.
Even if you really master these two avenues, the real difficulty is the fusion of the two!
These two avenues are mutually reinforcing and incompatible. They are both complementary and opposed to each other. You can imagine how difficult it is to integrate them.
The prerequisite for becoming a Daoist is that the integrated Tao must form a complete system, and systems often complement each other and inhibit each other.
For example, Life and Death, such as the five elements, such as light and darkness...
Those unsystematic avenues, such as Wang Jingxing, majoring in Kendo, and later studying Charm Great Dao concurrently, the two are completely incompatible and cannot be integrated.
The avenues that can form a system are almost without exception Dao of Nature.
This is why Brother Scar recommends majoring in Dao of Nature.
Zhang Wanzhi When they heard about the method of becoming a Dao Ancestor, they had no intention of trying it. They only found it hopelessly difficult.
After all, they have been practicing for so many years, but they still cannot fully master one avenue. Now they have to spend more time to understand another avenue of the same level.
Moreover, the process of understanding another avenue cannot bring any improvement to oneself.
For example, a monk who majors in the Yin Avenue and also practices the Yang Avenue will not bring any Cultivation Level improvement. Even if he completely masters the Yang Avenue, there will be no improvement in combat power.
Only by merging the two Tao can one achieve the Tao Ancestor.
If the fusion fails, the effort will be in vain.
And taking yin and yang as an example is already the easiest situation. Not all systems can be built by two avenues.
For example, if you have five elements, you must completely master the five first-tier avenues at the same time to form a system!
For example, if Xia Siyun majors in Fire Dao, you can imagine how difficult it is for her to become a Daoist.
No wonder I haven't heard of anyone practicing Tao Ancestor in so many years.
Those existing Daoist ancestors don't know what era they cultivated, as if they were born to be Daoist ancestors.
Wang Jingxing asked with some reluctance, "So, as someone who practices man-made Daoism, my hope of becoming a Daoist ancestor is cut off?"
Brother Scar replied, "There is indeed no precedent for a man-made avenue to become a Daoist ancestor, and man-made avenues cannot form a system. Take Kendo as an example. You have to insist that it can also form a system with the avenues of swords, guns and sticks, but there is no mutual reinforcing effect between them...
"And the differences between these avenues of weapons are too big. Swordsmanship is the second echelon avenue, and other avenues of weapons, some are in the third echelon, and some are lower. They are not on the same level as each other. How to integrate them?"
Wang Jingxing sighed, "It seems there is really no hope."
Brother Scar shook his head slightly. "You can't say that. You can theoretically become a Dao Ancestor by majoring in artificial avenues, but it is more difficult. The hope is to continue to expand and develop and break through the upper limit of the avenues. Artificial avenues do not need to be integrated with other avenues. As long as they are strong enough, it is possible to become a Tao Ancestor.
"Buddha Ancestor and Confucian Sage are pursuing this path. They have developed Confucian Path and Buddhism to a level far beyond the ordinary first-tier path, but they have not broken through the limit in the end.
"Dao of Nature is naturally powerful, but it has also locked its upper limit. All Dao of Nature is within the big framework of this world and cannot break through this framework, but the man-made avenue has more possibilities."
Brother Scar said this but didn't say it. Neither Buddha Ancestor nor Confucian Sage could do it, and Wang Jingxing didn't think he could do it either.
But Li Xiuchang listened to it. His Equalizer Dao is also a man-made road. If you want to become a Daoist ancestor, you must take this road.
And Li Xiuchang doesn't think this is a difficult task. Others can become Daoist ancestors by completely integrating two or three avenues. Can't he also become Daoist ancestor by randomly adding a few avenues into his Equalizer Dao?
If a few things don't work, at worst, there will be dozens. Quantitative changes can always lead to qualitative changes.
Zhang Wanzhi Although they do not have any confidence to become Daoist ancestors, nor do they have the identity blessing of Dao Founder, they are still confident that they can complete their major Daoism and improve their combat power to some extent.
But they also wondered, "How did Chen the Turtle become so strong?"
Zhang Wanzhi scratched his head. "Chen the Turtle is not Dao Founder, and although he is strong, he has not become a Dao Ancestor. How did he do it?"
Lu Yang said, "Chen the Turtle practiced the wood-type longevity skill from the beginning. He knew that he was not qualified, so he wanted to extend his lifespan to ensure that he had enough time to break through. Later, he also majored in Wood Dao."
Xia Siyun is also confused. "Even if Wood Dao fully understands it, it won't be as strong as him, right?"
Wang Jingxing also echoed, "Wood Dao, as Dao of Nature, does not have Dao Founder, only Qinglong enjoys the same blessing as Dao Founder."
Zhang Wanzhi slapped his forehead. "I know! Chen the Turtle is the reincarnation of Qinglong!"
Everyone looked at Zhang Wanzhi with questions on their faces - What nonsense are you talking about?
Chen the Turtle If Qinglong was reincarnated, how difficult would it be to practice?
No one was too lazy to refute him, but Zhang Wanzhi thought that his guess was correct, "If he was not the reincarnation of Qinglong, how could he be so strong with just one Wood Dao? It must be the reincarnation of Qinglong, equivalent to Wood Dao Founder, to have such strength!"
Brother Scar denied. "Qinglong is the spirit conceived by heaven and earth, and its soul returns to heaven and earth after death. There is no theory of reincarnation."
Brother Scar's words are almost equivalent to official refutation of the rumors, making Zhang Wanzhi a direct misfire.
"But..." Brother Scar paused, "I just fought with that shadow, and he seemed to have used Earth Dao."
What Brother Scar is talking about is naturally the shadow of Chen Changsheng, and the Cultivation Level of the shadow comes from the main body. The avenue controlled by the shadow is also controlled by the main body. Chen Changsheng It is impossible for a monk who majors in Wood Dao to use Earth Dao.
Zhang Wanzhi and others frowned and fell into memories. They also fought against the shadow of Chen Changsheng.
However, when fighting, monks will not only use the avenues they master, but also some other means, such as fairy weapons, formations, talismans, etc., which may trigger the power of other avenues.
Lu Yang said, "Earth Dao's Dao Yun did appear when fighting him. It should have been caused by him using some defensive weapons and formations, right?"
Zhang Wanzhi said, "Yes, there is not only Earth Dao, but also Metal Dao, it must be from the immortal weapon and formation!"
Earth Dao is the best at defense among Five Elements Dao, followed by Metal Dao, and Chen Changsheng's shadow specializes in defense. Among various defensive weapons and defensive formations, it is natural to inevitably attract the power of these two avenues.
This does not mean that Chen Changsheng itself can use these two avenues.
But Mo Tu frowned slightly and said, "His shadow did use Earth Dao."
Mo Tu doesn't talk much, but in fact he is more delicate and observes carefully. He has said so, and he is definitely certain.
"How did he do it? "Zhang Wanzhi Several people are very curious.
Brother Scar speculated. "If he majors in Wood Dao, even if he masters the complete Earth Dao, he will not be able to use Earth Dao unless he fuses Earth Dao with Wood Dao.
"But even if he doesn't pursue the fusion of the five elements to become the Daoist ancestor, the conflict between wood and earth makes it impossible for them to fuse... I still can't figure it out."
Li Xiuchang said, "How about I go and ask?"
"Okay, let him explain why he doesn't share something good if he has it!" Several senior brothers and sisters said in unison.
Chen Changsheng did not become a Dao Ancestor, but he was able to use at least two avenues, making his strength far beyond the average Grand Luo Golden Immortal.
There must be a reason why Zhang Wanzhi people know that such a peerless secret technique is kept privately and not contributed to the public.
It is possible that this method has many limitations and they simply do not meet the conditions.
However, we still need to find Chen Changsheng to investigate.
Next, Li Xiuchang and the others rescued all the compatriots imprisoned in Shadow Prison.
Zhang Wanzhi and Brother Scar have rescued more than half of them before, and now the rest have been released.
The monks imprisoned by the shadows may be strong or weak, and they are all sealed Cultivation Level.
However, not all of them may be good people. It is not ruled out that there are demon cultivators and evil cultivators mixed in, and a small number of them may not be Immortal Shade Realm cultivators, but may come from other worlds.
Therefore, Li Xiuchang conducted a round of review on all of them, screened out the problematic ones, and continued to imprison them.
The rest, if there is no problem, will be brought back to Reflection Organization.
At this point, Li Xiuchang and the others basically don't have much to do in Shadow World.
Shadow Prison has successfully robbed the prison. It can be said that today's Reflection Organization has brought together more than 90% of Shadow World's Immortal Shade Realm monks.
Coupled with Buddha Ancestor Nirvana, Li Xiuchang felt it was time for them to leave Shadow World.
Especially the experience of Brother Scar. He was wiped out of consciousness by the shadow of Confucian Sage. This proves that the shadow of Confucian Sage is different from the shadow of Buddha Ancestor. They have a clear stand and will take action against them in the end.
There is no movement now because an agreement was reached with Buddha Ancestor.
Once Confucian Sage shadow learns about Buddha Ancestor's nirvana, he will no longer stand idly by!
Li Xiuchang's current strength, Shadow World's shadow power, he basically has nothing to fear, only Confucian Sage's shadow makes him afraid.
When Li Xiuchang told his brothers and sisters about his idea, they received unanimous approval.
Zhang Wanzhi They also found that they had nothing to do if they stayed any longer.
"Although I have decided to go back, it is not that easy. We can all say that the shadow is in the Immortal Shade Realm. What should the others do?" Wang Jingxing said.
They had sent several groups of people back before, but this time they rescued a large group of people from prison.
Not everyone's shadow is in the hands of Four Great Immortal Sects, there are still many people whose whereabouts are unknown.
Without a shadow, these people will naturally not be able to return to the Immortal Shade Realm.
In addition, Li Xiuchang cannot go back and needs to wait for the space crack to appear.
There is also Gui Wuyan, who is still lying in the coffin. If he is exchanged with the shadow and is taken out of the coffin, I don't know if there will be any accidents.
Li Xiuchang thought for a while and said, "Those who can get out should go out first. Those who can't get out can stay here with me and wait for an opportunity. If it doesn't work later, I will take the remaining people out."
The meaning of Li Xiuchang is to take those people who can't find their shadow and can't get out into his Second Dantian world and take them out.
But even if you take it out, you can only stay in the Second Dantian world and cannot come out.
Unless their shadows can be found later and sent back to Shadow World.
The only advantage of doing this is to ensure the safety of these people. At least they don't have to worry about facing threats from the shadows when they stay in the Second Dantian world.
As for the existence of the world of Second Dantian being exposed to more people... with Li Xiuchang's current strength, he doesn't care about that anymore.
Zhang Wanzhi nodded. "Then do as Xiu Chang said, but we won't go out for the time being. We will stay here to protect your safety, and we will go out with you then."
Li Xiuchang shook his head and said, "Brothers, don't worry about me. I will naturally go out when the space crack appears next time."
Zhang Wanzhi was going to say something else, but Mo Tu interrupted him and said, "Xiuchang's current strength no longer requires our protection."
Mo Tu didn't say anything. Not only did Li Xiuchang not need their protection now, he might even have to protect them if he encountered a real threat.
Therefore, they might as well leave to avoid becoming a drag on Li Xiuchang.
Zhang Wanzhi opened his mouth, and finally sighed, "Okay then."
Several people couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It's not an exaggeration to say that Li Xiuchang watched them grow up. They put a lot of energy and effort into cultivating them. When the fledglings grew into eagles, they could no longer help and might even become a drag.
This feeling of being no longer needed makes them feel empty.
Li Xiuchang glanced around the faces of several senior brothers and sisters, and said with a smile, "I still have a clone in the Immortal Shade Realm. When the senior brothers and sisters go back, remember to give me more technical lessons. Don't be too bothered."
"You still want to learn our skills?" Several people asked doubtfully.
After all, with Li Xiuchang's current strength, there is really no need to distract himself from learning skills. If it is really useful, they can do it for them.
"Of course!" Li Xiuchang said seriously, "This is very important to me!"
Skills are always important and related to his Length Value.
Although I haven't added points for a long time, Length Value is definitely useful.
But now that he needs to add some points, the required Length Value is too much, and now tens of thousands of inches are not enough.
"Okay!" Zhang Wanzhi agreed with a grin, "Anyway, we won't have much to do when we go back. We will take turns teaching you every day."
After convincing several senior brothers and sisters, Li Xiuchang called everyone together and told them the decision.
These people naturally want to return to the Immortal Shade Realm, especially those who have been detained in Shadow Prison by the shadows for many years. They want to go home all the time.
So the next step is to count the personnel list, and then use the clone of Li Xiuchang to connect with the Immortal Shade Realm to confirm that the shadows of those people are in the hands of Four Great Immortal Sects.
Soon, a list of "returning members" was compiled.
More than 70% of the people present met the conditions to go home!
However, there are still less than 30% of people who want to continue to stay in Shadow World.
These people are inevitably disappointed, but they also hold hope that as long as Four Great Immortal Sects catches their shadow, they can go back.
"Let's go!"
Li Xiuchang issues Immortal Concealment Talisman to everyone on the list, then collects them into Beast Taming Bag, and then flies to Xianyang.
