Sanqing has indeed gained a lot from this completely different path:
Laozi saw another ultimate expression of "inaction" from "Annihilation" - not inaction, but the original purity after the cessation of inaction.
From "Dream Dao", I deepened my understanding of "everything comes from nothing" and "all treasures are empty".
From the "Ambition Pulling Karma", we can see the possibility of actively intervening and shaping the general trend.
This gave him new inspiration for deducing the future and even thinking about how to "do nothing while doing everything".
His Taiji Diagram Phantom rotation seems to be more smooth, and he has a deeper grasp of "movement and stillness" and "presence and absence".
Primordial Heavenly Lord pays more attention to the "order" level.
Western Dao wants to establish "Pure Land Order".
It is a highly idealized order forcibly shaped by aspirations and precepts.
It is different from the order formed by natural competition like Witch and Demon and the order formed by the Mystic Sect's compliance with Heavenly Dao.
This made him think about the origin and rationality of "order".
At the same time, the extreme tenacity, calculation and step-by-step shown by Two Saints of the West to achieve the goal also gave Yuanshi a new understanding of "practice" and "Order Construction".
He vaguely felt that his way of "explaining the principles of nature" might also need some more active "manifestation" and "practice".
Tongtian Sect Master: He is not very interested in the convoluted concepts such as "Annihilation" and "dream", and feels that they are not direct enough.
But Two Saints of the West's drive to do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, to calculate to the end, and to move forward with tenacity impressed him deeply.
Especially something like "Vow Power" sounds like another form of "persistence" and "power", and it seems to be able to gather everyone's strength to produce incredible effects.
This reminded him of his own concept of Seizing a Glimmer of Hope.
Perhaps we also need a clearer "goal" and a way to gather the beliefs of disciples?
Of course, he admires the "breaking" and "establishing" of Jieyin and Zhunti who forcibly opened up a dojo in poverty, which resonates with his "Break and Then Establish" Sword Dao.
At the same time, he was also secretly wary that these two guys were very thoughtful and calculating, and they were not easy people to deal with.
After Zhunti and Jieyin talked, Spirit Mountain's middle path rhyme circulated, more golden lotuses appeared, and the Sanskrit singing became clearer, showing the deep integration between the two people's ways and Spirit Mountain's environment.
Zhunti looked at Sanqing with a smile, his eyes filled with inquiry:
"The poor Daoist and his senior brother have just had a brief meeting, which made them laugh generously.
I wonder if the three Daoist friends who have practiced Qing in Kunlun and understood the Supreme Way can also help us clear up our doubts and give some pointers to the Mystic Sect's wonderful methods?"
He wants to direct the focus of the discussion to Sanqing.
In particular, I want to hear Sanqing's views on the current dilemma in practice (corpse beheading), and the changes in Tongtian that make him faintly uneasy.
After Zhunti finished speaking, Spirit Mountain felt a subtle atmosphere.
According to common sense, the next one should be Laozi, the eldest brother among Sanqing and the most unfathomable.
Or Primordial Heavenly Lord, who values etiquette and rules the most, responded.
However, what surprised both Jieyin and Zhunti was.
On the right side of Cattail Hassock, Tongtian Sect Master, who was already a little impatient with this atmosphere, actually spoke first.
He sat upright, his green robe moved without any wind, and the broadness and sharpness between his brows were undisguised.
Looking directly at Jieyin and Zhunti, the voice was clear and direct, pointing straight to the core:
"Jieyin, Zhunti, we have all heard Dao Ancestor's lectures in the Zixiao Palace, so we know the basics.
If people in the Ming Dynasty don't tell secret things, there's no point in hiding them."
Tongtian grinned, with a hint of unruliness.
"The main purpose of my three brothers' trip down the mountain this time is to find a way to solve the dilemma of the 'Slaying Three Corpses' method!
You must also understand the key points Lord Wanshouyuan points out in Zhunti's sermon.
Spiritual treasures from the same origin are hard to find, and Three Corpses Unification is even more elusive.
Although you Western Lands have a small family background, you are quick-thinking and calculating... well, your plans are far-reaching.
Now that you have also gone to Longevity Mountain, I have been reminded, what are your two senior brothers' plans now? What do you think about Hong Meng Purple Qi and the road to becoming a saint?"
Tongtian's words were like thunder, exploding beside Eight Treasures Merit Pool!
The sorrow and warm smiles on the faces of Jieyin and Zhunti instantly solidified, and shock and a trace of imperceptible panic flashed deep in their eyes at the same time!
They never expected that Tongtian would address this core and most sensitive issue so directly and without any detour.
Throw it naked on the table at the beginning of the discussion!
After the shock, there was a quick weighing.
Tongtian dares to ask this, which shows that Sanqing is not shy about his own predicament.
It is also believed that the Two from the West is also facing the same problem and may even have some information that they are unaware of.
Should he tell part of the truth in exchange for information, or should he lie and compromise?
Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged an extremely brief look that contained countless information.
Jieyin lowered his eyes slightly, his expression of sadness became more intense, as if he was under great pressure, and he slowly said:
"Fellow Daoist Tongtian... That's a very pleasant thing to say. Alas, to be honest with the three fellow Daoists, what Lord Wanshouyuan said was indeed like a wake-up call, making it difficult for the poor Daoist and his junior brother to sleep and eat well.
Hong Meng Purple Qi is a gift from Dao Ancestor, Opportunity to become a Saint is related to the great prosperity of Western Lands, how dare you give it up so easily?"
His words were tantamount to admitting that they were also trapped in the "corpse-killing dilemma" and that they chose not to give up Hong Meng Purple Qi.
Zhunti then sighed and added, with a gloomy look on his face:
"However, the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, and the source of the spiritual treasure is elusive. Three Corpses Unification has no way.
My senior brother and I were trapped in Western Lands, thinking hard, and we could only take one step at a time, or look at it from other aspects.
Such as accumulating merit, understanding the true meaning of Annihilation, etc., to see if we can find another way to make up for the shortcomings of the corpse-killing method.
I wonder if these three Daoist friends have any insights?"
He skillfully threw the question back, expressing his stance of sticking to Zi Qi.
It also hides deeper calculations such as "borrowing the power of heaven and observing changes in the earth", and at the same time testing the progress of Sanqing.
Tongtian saw that they acknowledged the predicament, but only said that they would not give up Zi Qi.
The other words were unclear, and I snorted in my heart, knowing that these two guys must have other plans, and they were unwilling to reveal everything.
He didn't force anything, he was just throwing ideas out there to see the reaction.
"No Gao Jian, but a lot of confusion."
Tongtian waved his hand and changed the topic, "Since we are talking about Tao, I will also talk about my Tao. It may also be helpful for me to understand the way forward.
You two fellow Daoists, let's listen and see if you can create some sparks."
He no longer dwelled on the specific issues of purple energy and zombie killing, but began to elaborate on the fundamentals of his own path - Seizing Dao!
"My way lies in the word 'cut'!"
Tongtian's eyes were filled with gleaming light, and the originally restrained sharp energy around his body began to rise. It was not an attack, but the natural manifestation of Tao Yun.
"Heavenly Dao fifty, Dayan forty-nine, escape one of them.
My 'interception' approach is to seize the glimmer of life and break through the inherent cage amidst the seemingly established trajectories, strict rules, and destined fate of all things!"
As he spoke, countless criss-crossing "trajectories" and "webs of rules" faintly appeared in the void behind him, symbolizing the operation and restraint of Heavenly Dao.
Immediately, an unparalleled sword light that seemed to be able to cut off Karma and break fate suddenly flashed.
With incredible angles and decisive momentum, he slashed hard into the web of tracks and rules.
It is not completely destroyed, but a gap is torn open in it, allowing a trace of light representing "Variable" and "possibility" to shine through!
"Rules? Order? Destiny? All can be broken in the face of truly sharp determination and strength! Everything is not static, and there are gaps in the road! I, Interception Sect Ideals, want to give all living things a 'fight' An opportunity, a possibility of 'change'! Don't seek to adapt, but strive for detachment; do not seek eternity, but strive for the present!" Tongtian's voice was resolute, full of indomitable courage and admiration for "change".
However, Jieyin and Zhunti have advanced cultivation and extremely keen perception. Not only did they hear Tongtian's explanation of the method of "capturing", but they also more clearly sensed that there was something hidden deep in the manifested sharp "sword light" shadow. A more essential aura of destruction and end that made them Lotus Platform tremble slightly! This aura is definitely not something that ordinary Sword Dao can have. It is older, purer, and closer... close to the origin of Devil Dao!
