The Differences Between the Dao Ancestors
Chapter 1417 The Differences Between the Dao Ancestors
The words of the two patriarchs of the Ming and Xiang sects did not stir up the slightest ripple in the heart of the first sage, but his reaction changed the attitude of the two patriarchs.
"To be detached from all emotions is indeed very thorough."
Immediately afterwards, the founder of the Ming Cult said in a deep voice: "Taiyuan Immortal, Taiyi Heaven, it doesn't matter who it is, show your transcendence method."
"This will determine our attitude."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Sheng narrowed his eyes. He could tell that the two patriarchs in front of him were almost on par with Xuan De in terms of cultivation.
'The essence of ancient cultivation.'
It has undergone two fundamental transformations.
Upon realizing this, the First Sage immediately stretched out his hand, and the radiance of the Other Shore traversed time and space, appearing as an external object before the Master of Name and Form.
"Is this... Feng Shui?"
"It's somewhat similar, but the foundation is different. It's purely external, and the status is achieved through the methods of a Dao Venerable? Strange, very strange. Is this how people cultivate in later generations?"
"The Great Dao is actually a physical entity?"
"incredible"
For a moment, the two patriarchs of the School of Names and the School of Forms were captivated by what they saw. After a long while, they came to their senses and nodded slightly: "Indeed, there is an opportunity to attain enlightenment."
"With our cultivation level, even after a second transformation of essence, we can only reach the fourth to sixth level of the [Other Shore]. To reach the designed seventh or even ninth level, we would probably need three transformations. However, the difficulty of traversing the [Other Shore] is much simpler than the transformation of essence."
"It's a feasible method!"
At this point, the two patriarchs finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Very well, since you have the method, we will assist you in this battle and find a way to seize the seed of the Great Dao."
"As a price."
“We need to borrow your names and appearances.”
As soon as the words fell, the aura of the founders of the Famous Sect and the Xiang Sect changed instantly, while the First Saint felt a surge of energy fall upon him.
Do not resist.
The sage frowned, but in the end he chose to acquiesce, prioritizing detachment above all else, considering everything else trivial and unnecessary to concern himself with.
Soon, the appearances of the two patriarchs changed. The nameless patriarch of the Name Sect, if one were to calculate cause and effect, could now clearly identify his name as [Taiyi Tian]. The formless patriarch of the Appearance Sect, on the other hand, now possessed the face of the First Sage, and their auras changed as a result.
This is their method.
[Borrowing our names and titles is tantamount to binding us to them. Our cultivation improves, theirs improves; our transcendence is their transcendence.]
not only that.
What's even more ingenious is that this kind of detachment doesn't require being too emotionally attached; they still retain their individuality, and can even jump ship if things go wrong.
For example, when Taiyuan Immortal and Jun were vying for the position of Nascent Soul, Taiyuan Immortal was defeated. At the last moment, the two patriarchs, Ming and Xiang, realized that they had lost their chance of winning. So they decisively chose to leave the car, change their appearance, and directly sever their divine ties with Taiyuan Immortal, thus avoiding being implicated in Taiyuan Immortal's defeat.
And now, they've come again.
If it were anyone else, they would naturally not accept such a traitor, but Taiyuan Immortal and Chusheng are different. They have long forgotten emotions and only have transcendence in their eyes.
Therefore, they can accept everything.
After all, no matter how you look at it, the founders of the Ming and Xiang sects are formidable allies, and their help is indispensable if one wants to obtain the Seed of the Great Dao.
That's why one must attain a state of detachment from worldly affairs.
'Human hearts are unpredictable, and those who transcend worldly concerns need not concern themselves with human nature; they only need to be detached. In this light, the original design was indeed correct.'
The founders of the two schools of thought, Ming and Xiang, exchanged a glance and then composed themselves.
At the same time, Lü Yang was still having a long talk with Guiming Daozu.
"As far as I know, there aren't many people who aren't interested in the Seed of the Great Dao this time. I estimate there are only seven. The other Dao Ancestors will still come to compete for it."
"Isn't that a lot?" Lu Yang blinked. Seventeen Dao Ancestors, seven of whom were not interested in the Seed of the Great Dao, that was almost half. In his opinion, that was an unbelievable number.
"That being said, it doesn't mean they are no match for us." Dao Ancestor Guiming reminded, "Even if they are not interested in the Seed of the Great Dao, it doesn't mean they will sit idly by and watch this battle of the Dao. It's even more dangerous, because who knows what these Dao Ancestors might do."
Upon hearing this, Lü Yang's gaze sharpened slightly: "If I'm not mistaken, fellow Daoist is among them, isn't he?"
Guiming Daozu nodded: "That's right, I have no interest in the Seed of the Great Dao, or rather, our [Life Cultivation] lineage has no interest in the Seed of the Great Dao."
"It just conflicts a bit with [Feng Shui]."
"He should be considered the most conservative type. He only hopes to improve the feng shui of the entire land and eradicate the concept of the 'final calamity' from its root."
Upon hearing this, Lü Yang's expression turned somewhat strange as he looked at Guiming Daozu.
[Feng Shui] If he is considered conservative, then he might still have some conflicts with you. From this perspective, are you considered to be the more radical type?
"Cough cough."
Dao Ancestor Guiming clearly noticed Lü Yang's gaze and coughed somewhat awkwardly: "Fellow Daoist, please don't misunderstand, I'm just being conservative."
Lü Yang blinked: "Really?"
"of course."
Guiming Daozu said solemnly, "Unlike Feng Shui, we believe that if we preserve the land but lose the people, we will lose both the land and the people; if we preserve the people but lose the land, we will gain both the land and the people."
"So what if Shenzhou is destroyed? As long as all the people of Shenzhou survive, that's enough. So my idea is to find a way to let all the mortals and cultivators in Shenzhou reincarnate, transcend time, and be reborn directly into an era when the final calamity disappears, the sea of light is reborn, and all things flourish with vitality!"
At this point, Guiming Daozu became extremely solemn.
Without a doubt, he was serious.
Then the problem is coming.
After a moment of silence, Lü Yang said in a low voice, "The threshold for [Fate Cultivation] is not low. What do you plan to do to allow both mortals and cultivators to be reincarnated?"
"It's very simple."
Guiming Daozu calmed his emotions and said calmly, "I have created a secret technique. As long as we kill them all, I can take them to be reincarnated in the future."
Lü Yang: "."
No wonder the ancestors of the Feng Shui sect killed you!
You call this a conservative?
What are radicals like?
Thinking of this, Lü Yang suddenly had a thought: "Fellow Daoist said before that the [Life Cultivation] lineage has no interest in the Seed of the Great Dao, so what about the other Dao Ancestor?"
There are two Daoist ancestors in the field of [Life Cultivation].
Guiming Daozu is the second, but what are the thoughts of the first, who is also the first Daozu of Shenzhou? Is he also going to kill everyone?
"Oh, he's different."
Upon hearing this, Guiming Daozu shook his head: "He is much more radical than me. He believes that my essence is not strong enough to lead everyone to be reincarnated into the future."
"So he plans to do it himself."
"When he became the Dao Ancestor, he was reincarnated as the first innate Dao God of Shenzhou. Now he plans to repeat his old trick and undergo another great reincarnation."
"This time, he wants to become the innate god of the end times, symbolizing the final tribulation."
"If he succeeds, as long as he commits suicide immediately, he can solve the problem once and for all, ending the apocalypse before it even begins, and thus changing the outcome of destruction."
Lü Yang immediately understood.
Whether it's Feng Shui or the Dao Ancestor of Destiny, both are essentially about escaping and trying to avoid the influence of the final calamity. However, the Dao Ancestor of Destiny Cultivation is different.
This first Dao Ancestor of China intends to defeat the final tribulation head-on!
