Chapter 522: Arriving at the Buddha Realm
"The owners of the four divine thoughts just now didn't come out to look for me, it seems that they don't know my identity either, and they want to wait for the opportunity to move!"
Xiang Tian was still patrolling back and forth in the flying boat at this time, and secretly used his strength to repair some damaged parts of the hull as before, and he had the right to hone his mental strength.
However, after the investigation just now, Xiang Tian's heart was also relieved.
Although he had only detected the four divine thoughts of the Gathering Divine Realm, theoretically speaking, this was only a part of it. Moreover, from those four divine thoughts, Xiang Tian also clearly felt the breath of the seven great divine clans. Needless to say, apart from them, no one has such a great courage to dispatch a Gathering God Realm powerhouse.
And after this exploration, Xiang Tian not only felt how strong his divine thoughts were. And because of the great advancement of divine thoughts, I noticed a familiar aura from those four divine thoughts.
The Power of Belief!
That's right, it's the power of faith that exists in those four divine thoughts. But the power of those beliefs is much weaker than their own, and a little disorganized, like a colony without a queen.
There are many ways to cultivate in the world, and the mainstream of the cultivators in the cultivation realm is to cross the heavenly tribulation, change their lives against the sky, and seek a glimmer of life in the underworld. As long as this kind of cultivation method is good, then the cultivation speed will rise like a rocket.
Like the Buddha realm, the cultivation of the relics of the golden body, the pursuit is freedom. However, those who participate in the practice of Buddhism can condense relics with supreme mental power, and those who become Buddhas and bodhisattvas can condense the golden body, inhale karma into the body, and wait for the catastrophe to pass, and then slowly purify it with the supreme Dharma, which is wonderful.
As for the power of faith, it can be understood as divine cultivation. Just like the ancient gods, as long as someone believes in them and gives them a clear position, then they can use this to gather the power of faith in the four directions, turn into gods, and enjoy infinite life.
For cultivators, their cultivation mainly comes from the belief of living beings from all over the world. If they continue to believe, then their cultivation will continue to increase. And the most amazing thing is that after they perished in battle, as long as there are enough people who believe in them, they will be reborn again, but the time of rebirth depends on the speed at which the power of faith accumulates.
In addition, there are also some cultivators who have their own cultivation methods. For example, the God of Thunder can increase his cultivation through thunder and lightning, the God of Fire uses flames, the God of Ice uses ice and snow, the God of Space can use the dimensions of various planes to cultivate, and the God of Time can cultivate through the passage of time of things around him......
However, as a cultivator, if they rely on themselves to cultivate, then the speed of their cultivation will have an upper limit, and then continue to grow at this rate.
For example, a cultivator is equivalent to a power plant, and his own cultivation is like a generator. The generator itself can generate electricity, but the maximum power generated is absolutely not beyond its own limit. So no matter how much electricity a power plant can produce, the amount of electricity produced by this generator is only a fixed value. If you want to increase the power of the power plant, you can only make more "generators" through the belief of others.
Therefore, among the cultivators, the strongest among them either have existed for a long time and have accumulated enough divine power, or they have countless believers who provide themselves with the power of faith to ascend to the divine rank.
It is precisely for this reason that, under normal circumstances, the polarization of the strength of God cultivators is particularly serious, and when they reach the late stage of cultivation, the speed of progress will become very slow, and it will be difficult to continue to break through. And a person like a cultivator who fights with the heavens, every time he survives a heavenly tribulation, he will stand up in the baptism of the heavenly tribulation, and his strength will increase greatly.
From this point, it is not difficult to understand why, in some ancient texts, cultivators will rise in a very short period of time, surpassing the cultivators in one fell swoop, and trampling them under their feet. However, there are also advantages to cultivators, that is, faith is continuous, life is endless, and there is no such danger as the Heavenly Tribulation.
Natural selection, survival of the fittest. Every school of practice has survived to the present because it has the advantage of its existence. And those schools that do not adapt to the development of the world will be drowned in the long river of history.
This is like the Lich War of the year, the twelve ancestors fell one after another, and even the life and death of Hou Tu Niangniang were unknown in the end, and the demon clan, whether it was Emperor Jun or Donghuang Taiyi, also fell with hatred under the attack of the twelve ancestors.
Their deaths may have been the calculation of the saints, which is unknown to the heavens. However, one thing is for sure, after the end of the Lich War, the demon clan survived, although it was greatly damaged. And because every kind of creature has the potential to turn into essence and become a demon clan, the demon clan is still not to be underestimated.
Compared to the demon clan, the witch clan is much more miserable. Since the defeat of the great witch Chiyou, Hou Yi, Kuafu and other great witches have fallen one after another, the entire Wu clan has been in a slump since then, even some remnants of the Wu clan have no choice but to escape the world.
The Wu clan was destroyed, the demon clan was defeated, and the human race rose. This trilogy was the mainstream of Xiang Tian's world, and as time passed, the two lich races also began to integrate into the human society.
The world that Xiang Tian is in now is not the same as the earth. From the four divine thoughts just now, Xiang Tian finally knew why in the battle world, the Seven Great Divine Clans had always occupied a dominant position.
Because whether it was them or people outside the forces of the Seven Great Protoss, they all subconsciously thought that they were the masters of the war world. Although they didn't explain it on the surface, in normal times, it is believed that there were still many monks who regarded the Seven Great Divine Clans as the leaders of the battle realm.
This kind of thinking is deep-rooted, so in addition to the usual cultivation of the people of the Seven Great Divine Clans, the power of belief that the entire battle realm creatures have contributed to them is the source of their energy.
The higher their position, the easier it was for them to gain the power of faith, which was why Xiang Tian discovered the power of faith in their divine thoughts.
It is believed that each of the patriarchs of their seven great divine clans has extremely pure faith power, and as long as they accumulate a certain amount, they can condense these faith powers out of the god position and soar to the upper realm.
Throughout the history of the war realm, it seems that every patriarch of the seven great god clans can successfully ascend to the upper realm in the end. The mystery is now finally clarified by Xiang Tian.
"Hehe, it turns out that these seven great gods are all some people who deceive the world and steal their reputations. Back then, when I knew that each of their patriarchs could successfully ascend to the Upper Realm, I thought they were all Heavenly Talents! Now it seems that they themselves should be cultivators, and there is no such danger as a Heavenly Tribulation. ”
Xiang Tian was silent on the surface, but he sneered in his heart.
"But what if you are a god cultivator, after ascending to the upper realm, the faith that was originally provided for you will be transferred to the next patriarch, and when there is no source of faith, how many of you will survive. ”
There is no record of these spiritual cultivation contents in the Interception Dao Scroll. The reason why Xiang Tian was able to clearly know the pros and cons was all because the stele spirit told him.
But think about it, the three Qings are all participating in the Taoist practice, so as to change their lives against the sky. This cultivator is believed in by others, and he is suspected of enjoying his success, which is shameful for the Three Qings, so there is no relevant literature in the Taoist scrolls.
Although Sanqing's approach is suspicious of being high, it is undeniable that they still disdain this kind of cleverness. It can be seen from the list of gods that once they are on the list, those immortals who were powerful back then have lost their strength and become mediocre. And mortals become immortals, although they are ranked in the immortal class, they are not outstanding.
From this point of view, Xiang Tian didn't know that his judgment was incorrect. The Jade Emperor recruited the gods of the three hundred and sixty-five roads, although he was digging the corner of the Sanqing wall, but he also had the support of Hongjun Ancestor. And although Sanqing is a saint, no one is willing to send the potential disciples in their hands to the Jade Emperor. Therefore, when Sanqing signed the god list, it may be because of selfishness that those on the list were changed to cultivators.
In this way, because the secular world is still headed by the worship of the three Qings, the incense of the people on the list is scarce. Except for such a popular god position, it is difficult for other gods to break through, and it is impossible for the Jade Emperor to become bigger with this and overwhelm Sanqing. It seems that their saints who are above all living beings are also scheming against each other!
Now that he knows the pros and cons of a god cultivator, Xiang Tian will naturally determine his future direction. As for the path of cultivating the gods, Xiang Tian will also continue to go down, which can be regarded as absorbing the strengths of others, and Wan Nian Jin will continue to practice this set of law decisions, not to mention the school of mental power.
Take the strengths of others and make up for their own shortcomings. In the absence of special circumstances, Xiang Tian would definitely not give up any kind of cultivation method, it was not that he was indecisive, but that he wanted to take precautions.
After reaching the realm of expanding the sea, Xiang Tian also had a certain perception of the big hand in the dark. Thinking back to the beginning when he obtained the Ten Thousand Nian Golden Body Determination Exercise, although it didn't seem to have any flaws at all, for a monk who was in the Eastern Regions with the kind of lack of resources, he would never be able to come up with this kind of high-level Buddhist exercise.
The most important point is that the stele spirit once said that the original Wannian Golden Body must have a flawed existence. If you cultivate rashly, you may make rapid progress in the early stage, but on the other hand, it will limit your room for future progress.
The high-level Buddhism can be compared with the practice of intercepting the teachings; in the hands of a monk in the Eastern Regions; he gave himself so generously; when he calculated, he actually broke the clue on his body; (In fact, the other party died, because he was decisive. These situations that only appear in the kind of Longao Tianwang text will never appear in themselves.
This expedition to the Buddha realm is another confrontation with the Buddha's path. Xiang Tian also had a hunch, I am afraid that this time in the battle of the Buddha realm, even if he breaks free from the shackles of fate, the palm that controls fate will not let go of himself easily.
Which one is the enemy? Which one is the friend? Even Xiang Tian couldn't tell, but judging from the original Wannian Golden Body Decision, it was very likely that the one who had the black hand against him was the Western Sect that picked up the cheap in the First War of the Gods, that is, later Buddhism.
Just when Xiang Tian was thinking about the mastermind behind the scenes, the Council of Gathering God Realm Monks within the Seven Great Divine Clans, the entire Buddha Punishment Alliance finally arrived at the Buddha Realm smoothly.
......
(Regarding the question of Chiyou, Rourou is here to give you a science popularization.) Although the Jiuli tribe was defeated, it was not wiped out, but integrated into the Chinese family. For example, in today's society, those with the surname "Tu" may be the descendants of the Chiyou family. According to research, nearly 40 percent of the people in the country have the blood of the Jiuli clan flowing in their bodies. )
(Chiyou was revered as the god of war during the Yan and Huang periods, and even the Yellow Emperor respected him very much.) However, in the Han Dynasty, because the mainstream Confucian classics always deliberately scandalized Chiyou, it created today's image. )
(Turning the pages of history, you may find that as the strongest enemy in the life of the Yellow Emperor, there is no one.) Chiyou is extremely good both in terms of military talent and ruling tribes. His failure was only because the Yellow Emperor was better. (To be continued.) )
