Three thousand Taoists asked, and one Taoist answered. Each question and answer lasted nine hundred years.
Taoist priest Qingwei of Dong Wang Gongshan Corpse saluted the Taoist ancestor: "I dare to ask the ancestor, what is the path of immortality? How is the realm of immortality divided?"
The Taoist Patriarch nodded, "The Immortal Way is the Tao, but it is not the Tao. The Immortal Way is the Tao, and it is the way for all living beings. The Immortal Way is not the Tao, and it is not a single great road.
The way of immortality lies in refining qi, so there is a saying in the mortal realm: refining essence to transform qi, refining qi to transform into spirit, refining spirit to return to emptiness, refining emptiness to combine with Tao.
From this fourth level, you can enter the fairyland. There are eight fairyland, namely: Earthly Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, Xuanxian, Taiyi Xuanxian, Jinxian, Taiyi Jinxian, Daluo Jinxian, Hunyuan Wujiluo Jinxian!
Pindao has a saying: Daluo ascends to the sky for thirty-three years, and the other side of the Tao is Hunyuan.
Daluo is the beginning of the Dao, and it is also the end of the Dao. The other shore is far away, so Pindao has a unique place to settle down between Daluo and Hunyuan, and it is called Quasi-Sage."
"How does it compare to the previous state?"
"A quasi-sage reduces complexity to simplicity, condenses the thirty-three levels of high heaven into Tao steps, and divides the road to Hunyuan into four steps.
The first step: ascend to the tenth level of Daluo, which is the early stage of quasi-sage;
The second step: ascend to the 20th heaven of Daluo, which is the quasi-sage stage;
The third step: Climb to the 30th level of Daluo, which is the final stage of the Holy Sage.
Step 4: Climb to the thirty-third heaven of Daluo, reach the other shore, and achieve Hunyuan!"
When all the Taoists heard this, they nodded to express their understanding.
Mingyu touched his chin and thought to himself.
This way of quasi-sage is quite different from the previous names.
In the past, those from the first to the ninth level of Da Luo were called great powers; from the tenth to the twenty-ninth level were called the great powers of heaven and earth; from the thirty to the thirty-third level were called the supreme powers.
Because he has crossed the great Luo of the ten heavens, the difference from before is like the difference between heaven and earth.
By the time he reached the 30th level, he was already very close to Hunyuan, so he was dubbed the word "Jue Ding".
The division of Taoist ancestors is directly divided into three sections in Daluo: entering the Tao, building the Tao, and becoming the Tao.
Entering the Tao is Daluo, building the Tao is Quasi-Sage, and attaining Tao is Hunyuan.
When Taoist Qingwei finished asking, everyone still asked, but Hongjun waved his hand and said: "I am in charge of the sacred vessel of teaching. In addition to passing through the three thousand mortal guests, I also need to pass down the Taoist lineage to inherit the Taoist tradition!"
Everyone was shocked, and many people immediately stared eagerly at Daozu Hongjun who was sitting firmly on the high platform.
This is obviously to recruit disciples!
Taoist Xiaoyao and other ancestors looked at these Taoists with eager eyes and were speechless.
I really don’t know what to think. Didn’t you see that the old man arranged six separate seats in the first row? Isn’t this obvious enough?
If you want to say that in this Zixiao Palace, except for the six in the front row and Daozu Hongjun, the most indifferent person, then it must be Hou Tu!
She is very self-aware. She doesn’t even understand the Dao, so why should she be a teacher?
If she were the teacher, she would only accept a disciple like this if she had a bad brain. If she did, she would be pissed to death.
Sure enough, I heard Hongjun say again: "I, Yuanshi, Tongtian, you three were transformed by Pangu Yuanshen, you should join my sect, are you willing to inherit my Taoism?"
Sanqing had received the teachings of the old Taoist early in the morning, and now it was just a formality to tell the world. Naturally, they were willing. They stood up directly, bowed respectfully and saluted: "I will pay my respects to the teacher!"
Hongjun nodded and looked at Nuwa: "Nuwa, you are extremely talented and have great merits in the immortal way, in the way of heaven, and in the ancient world. I will accept you as my disciple now. Are you willing to become a member of the sect and inherit it?"
My orthodoxy?"
Nuwa turned her head and glanced at Fuxi, sighed in her heart and stood up to salute: "Nuwa pays homage to the teacher!"
Hongjun looked at Taoist Zhunti and Taoist Jingyin again, "Zhunti, you two have great perseverance, great wisdom, and great compassion; you have great merits in the immortal way, in the way of heaven, and in the ancient world. Now you are willing to worship me."
Will my disciples inherit my orthodoxy?"
After meeting him to think, Zhunti pushed him directly, and the two of them bowed directly: "I've met the teacher before!"
After the six people had finished their apprenticeship, those Taoists with expectations in their eyes reacted and sighed one after another. But more people took it indifferently. Coming to Zixiao was a fate. If there were too many, they were worried that they would not be able to bear it.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. Yeguoyuedu is available for Android and Apple.]
Not everyone can uphold the Taoist tradition. Look at the first six, which one is easier?
Sanqing Taoist, I haven't heard from Taoist ancestors. They were born as Pangu Yuanshen, their status is there, and their cultivation levels are more and more abnormal.
I heard that Tongtian was able to forcefully go around the ancient land and cause great calamity. The two brothers are not sure how powerful they are. Who can compare with them?
There is no one here who doesn’t know Nuwa’s name. She is the first among her generation. She was not named by others, but by someone who killed her with one sword.
As for the rest, although the Dao Ancestor did not say it clearly, everyone in the Immortal Way knew that she was one of the first batch of saints to join the Immortal Way. There were even rumors that the contract between heaven and earth was made by Nuwa.
In addition, the three tribes cut down the mountains, the starry sky formation, the subsequent disaster of the monsters, and the protection of all living beings, etc., the merits of one person are as good as those of a group of people.
Look at the two brothers Jie Yin and Zhunti. They look silent, but as Western creatures, the whole West is gone, and they are still alive and well.
You taste it, you taste it carefully.
Who doesn’t know that the West is the base camp of the devil, and to be able to come out of the base camp of the devil and live so freely and unrestrainedly, the truth behind this is terrifying to think about.
Moreover, these two people are really hardworking. The land of the West has become scorched earth. These two took over the task of restoring the West without saying anything. If it were any other person sitting here, who would dare to guarantee that he would take on such a heavy responsibility?
Do you really think that restoring the West is just lip service?
A thought is the cause and the action is the result. This matter contains huge cause and effect!
Otherwise, how do you think Taozu said that they are people with great perseverance, great wisdom, and great merit?
There is no fool who can go to Zixiao Palace to listen to sermons.
So as soon as Daozu accepted these six people, everyone wanted to understand the reason. At most, they couldn't know everything because of the limited information they knew.
Then the Taoist ancestor spoke again: "Since I have passed down the Tao lineage and inherited the Tao tradition, I must not live without the treasure of protecting the Tao.
Lao Tzu, this is a Tai Chi diagram that can stabilize the earth, fire, water, and wind, so I will give it to you!"
I stepped forward, bowed and took it, then put it in my sleeve.
"Yuanshi, this is the Pangu flag, which can mark the universe and give you protection."
Yuanshi stepped forward, took it and put it in his sleeve.
"Tongtian, these four swords of killing immortals are given to you together with the formation diagram. When you become a saint, you cannot be broken except by the four saints!"
Tongtian took over Four Swords and One Picture.
"Nu Wa, this Qiankun Ding is given to you, and it can be returned to the innate nature. I hope you can use it well!
I will also give you this red hydrangea."
Under the envious eyes of all the Taoists, Nuwa took over the Qiankun Ding and the red hydrangea.
Returning the day after tomorrow to the day before is too unnatural!
Mingyu smacked his lips. He was thinking about whether he should ask his empress to refine his spiritual treasures after he goes back. Then he would go out with seventeen or eighty spiritual treasures and smash the enemies to death!
"Jie Yin, I give you six pure bamboos and green lotus treasure-colored flags, which can purify the ten directions and protect yourself."
"Zhunti, I give you the twelve-grade golden lotus and the blessed divine pestle, which can suppress your luck. It will not be touched by any method and cannot be harmed by any treasure!"
Thank you both profusely.
