After hearing Ning Bugui's memories, Liang Yan's face showed a thoughtful look.
"It seems that this matter has something to do with Feng Wujiu. As far as I know, he is now in the realm of a saint and has also inherited the position of Lord of Yongye City." Liang Yan said slowly.
"I also know what you said."
Ning Bugui sighed: "What happened back then was very strange. In addition to Gongsun Tu, several of my disciples were also suspicious, but they did it very secretly. I don't have any evidence, and I dare not return to Yongye City.
So we can only survive on this small island in the south."
"Um."
Liang Yan nodded slightly. He understood Ning Bugui's situation and his difficulties. He thought about it and asked, "Senior, where did you get hurt so much that you ended up on your own path?"
If this question were asked at any other time, it can be said to have violated other people's taboos.
Because no monk would take the initiative to reveal his hidden illness.
But it's different now.
Ning Bugui made it very clear just now that Liang Yan was the one who brought him a turn of events. In other words, Ning Bugui now wanted something from him, so Liang Yan asked without any scruples.
After hearing Liang Yan's question, Ning Bugui sighed softly and said, "I will tell you everything you want to know, but this matter is extremely confidential. Let's talk somewhere else."
As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves, and the surrounding scenery was spinning. In just one breath, the two of them had appeared in a simple thatched cottage.
"There is my barrier here. Unless the saint comes in person, no one can eavesdrop on our conversation."
As Ning Bugui spoke, he sat down in front of a simple stone table and made a cup of spiritual tea for Liang Yan and himself.
Light smoke drifted between the two of them.
"senior........"
Liang Yan just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Ning Bugui raising his hand.
"I know what you want to ask, but before you can figure out this question, you need to understand another question first."
"what is the problem?"
"How to become holy."
"Sanctify!"
Liang Yan's heart was moved, and he tried his best to stay calm and asked: "Does the senior want to tell the junior about the method of becoming a saint?"
"Haha." Ning Bugui saw what he was thinking and said with a smile: "You don't have to be excited. This is not a secret. Everyone knows it, but what everyone can't do is the most difficult!"
"Appreciate further details."
"Um......"
Ning Bugui stroked his beard and said slowly: "First of all, you need to know that monks are divided into legal cultivation, physical cultivation, sword cultivation, etc. The conditions for becoming a saint are more or less different for monks with different cultivation methods. Among them,
Sword cultivation is an extreme method handed down from ancient times. Most of it has been lost. Looking at the entire Antarctic Immortal Continent, there is not a single monk who has become a saint in sword cultivation. As for physical cultivation... this method is also difficult. In the early stages of cultivation, the combat power may be
It’s not bad, but it becomes more difficult to practice as you go to the back. In today’s Antarctic Continent, there are probably less than three people who have become saints through physical cultivation.”
"So, when people talk about becoming a saint, they usually refer to becoming a saint through Dharma practice. The four major traditions of Buddhism, Demons, Taoism, and Confucianism in the human race today, plus hundreds of schools of thought, almost all follow this path."
"Dharma cultivators practice the Three Thousand Great Dao and use the power of law. This is also the orthodoxy of the Dao and is the easiest to be accepted by the way of heaven."
"However, the limit allowed by the law of heaven only reaches the sub-sage."
"The so-called 'three disasters and nine disasters', the previous disasters may vary from person to person, but once a monk is promoted to the sub-sage, the third disaster for everyone is the same, that is, being ruthlessly wiped out by the way of heaven!"
"Destroyed by heaven?" Liang Yan was shocked when he heard this, and his expression became serious.
"good!"
Ning Bugui continued: "Before Yasheng, every time you passed through a calamity, you would be baptized by luck and filled with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This is because you have not violated the bottom line of heaven. As long as the 'three disasters and nine disasters' have not yet
If you survive, you will inevitably die."
"And after you die, no matter how high your cultivation level was during your lifetime, the destiny of heaven and earth gathered in you will feed back to the world, and the way of heaven will also absorb the power of laws in you and add it to the great road, thereby achieving a balance.
This endless cycle of life and death is the way of heaven."
"But once someone becomes a saint, they can live forever and gain endless longevity. This obviously violates the principles of heaven. Therefore, when a monk becomes a sub-sage and tries to go further, heaven will personally kill him.
!”
"I see......."
Liang Yan nodded thoughtfully.
He has overcome the first three difficulties in the realm of transformation. Although there is a pair of invisible hands controlling behind these disasters, after all, the people and objects he fights with are still within the scope of his cognition.
As for the "Way of Heaven" that Ning Bugui mentioned, Liang Yan had never seen it before. He was a little curious. If he had the chance, he would like to take a look at what kind of existence this so-called "Way of Heaven" was.
"Senior Ning, since the third disaster is so dangerous, how can Ya Sheng survive it?"
"hehe."
Ning Bugui blinked at him and said with a smile: "You have improved so quickly. In just two hundred years, you have broken through from the foundation building stage to the calamity realm. You should know that the greater the risk, the greater the opportunity, right?"
After hearing this, Liang Yan smiled slightly but said nothing.
Ning Bugui continued: "Although the Heavenly Dao takes action, although it is extremely dangerous, it also contains unimaginable opportunities. Because when the Heavenly Dao takes action, it will reveal the power of the origin of the avenue, and this power of the origin of the avenue is to help monks become saints.
key!"
"The original power of the avenue?"
When Liang Yan heard this, his heart moved and he couldn't help but ask: "What is this?"
"The Dao is the Dao of Heaven, and the Dao of Heaven evolves into three thousand Dao, which is what we know as the Three Thousand Laws. After reaching the Tribulation Realm, everyone practices the power of the Law, and when you advance to the sub-sage level, the power of your own Law has already been
We have reached a peak. If we want to go further, we must master the origin of the great path we cultivate."
"There are three thousand laws in the world, and the way of heaven has three thousand kinds of origins. For example, monks who practice the law of fire will have no power to resist once they encounter the power of the origin of flames. And these origins of the ways are all controlled by heaven. I
It’s simply out of reach.”
"The only chance is when Heaven personally takes action to kill you. Since 'it' has revealed its true form, you have traces to follow. If 'it' wants to kill you, you can also steal 'it' in turn.
The origin of the great road."
"So the key to the third disaster is whether the way of heaven will kill you first, or whether you will snatch the origin of the way first and fuse it into a saint!"
Liang Yan couldn't help but feel ups and downs after hearing what he said in one breath. He couldn't calm down for a long time.
"It turns out that this is the condition for becoming a saint! You actually have to steal something from the hands of Heaven! The difficulty of becoming a saint is beyond imagination!"
"Haha, what else? How many years of history does Antarctic Fairy Continent have? How many saints are there in total now? There is an insurmountable gap in the middle. How many people have gone on to succeed, but in the end they died at the last step!"
"good......."
Liang Yan nodded slightly, closed his eyes, and gradually calmed down his mood.
"Let's go back and talk about how to practice this method to become a saint..." Ning Bugui continued: "The way of heaven personally takes action. Even the bodies of sub-sages like us cannot resist it. In ancient times, countless human monks
After dying in this disaster, many ancestors came and succeeded, but in the end they were all ruthlessly wiped out by heaven, until someone created a method."
"Oh?" Liang Yan raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but ask: "What method?"
"The method of understanding."
"The solution?"
Liang Yan murmured, looking a little confused, because he had never heard of this method.
"The method of Taoist explanation is equivalent to suicide."
As Ning Bugui spoke, his face gradually became serious: "Since the monk's physical body cannot resist the power of Heaven's Law, then he simply 'commits suicide' before Heaven's Law comes. However, this method of suicide is somewhat special.
The body melts into countless small groups of law power, which shine with faint light like fireflies, and are called 'Tao Fireflies' by the world."
"After the monk's Tao is interpreted as 'Dao Ying', his physical body and soul will no longer exist, but he will retain a little bit of his true spirit. To a certain extent, the monk is dead, so all the methods of heaven cannot be used, but
In order to prevent the monks from becoming saints, it will use the corresponding avenue origin to absorb these 'Dao Fireflies', and at the same time use various means to eliminate the monk's true spirit."
"This is a head-to-head confrontation with Heaven. Either 'it' will destroy your true spirit and suck away all your 'Dao Ying', or you will successfully snatch 'its' original power and help you reshape yourself."
The physical body, from now on, the body and the Tao will unite and achieve the status of a saint."
After hearing this, Liang Yan felt as if he was waking up from a dream, and suddenly said: "It turns out that this is the method of 'Tao Jie', which is to put people to death and then live... The wisdom of our ancestors is admirable!"
Ning Bugui nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Now you know why it is said that 'all the saints are ants'? The monks in the Xian Sheng Realm have integrated the power of the origin of the Dao, which means that the saint is a part of the Dao.
Heaven walks the road."
"For example, if a monk who practices the law of fire meets a saint who has integrated the origin of the avenue of fire, then the law he practices cannot be used at all, and he may even play with fire and burn himself to death. This is an absolute crushing
, there is no possibility of confrontation at all.”
"indeed."
After listening to Ning Bugui's words, Liang Yan finally understood that there was an insurmountable gap between the saint and the sub-sage.
After all, Yasheng is not a saint yet. He still cultivates the power of laws, but he has cultivated the power of laws he masters to the extreme.
But the saint already possesses the origin of the Dao, that is, the body and the Dao are in harmony, and he is a part of the Dao. It is wishful thinking for you to borrow the power of the law in front of him.
Even if the two people practice different laws, the inferior saint will be suppressed by the saint's great way, and there is no way he can defeat the other party.
"Then how does physical cultivation lead to sanctification?"
Liang Yan was a little curious and couldn't help but ask.
"Physical cultivation is much more difficult, because they do not cultivate the power of laws and cannot use the method of 'Taojie'. They can only temper their physical bodies to the point of defying heaven, thereby resisting the origin of heaven's way and using their physical bodies to become
Saint! Anyone who can do this is extremely powerful and is definitely the best among saints."
"What about the swordsman?"
"Sword cultivation... is a method of cultivation in ancient times. Many inheritances have been cut off. Looking at the entire Antarctic Immortal Continent, monks who can advance to the realm of calamity with sword cultivation are already very rare, and those who can become saints with sword cultivation are rare.
There is no such person at all, so I don’t know the method of sword cultivating to become a saint.”
When Ning Bugui said this, he paused for a moment and continued: "However, no matter what system the monks have, they must face the way of heaven when they become saints. This is for sure! It's just that the way of fighting against the way of heaven is different.
.”
After hearing this, Liang Yan showed a hint of disappointment on his face.
The path I have chosen is really difficult. Along the way, there are not many precedents to refer to. The higher you go, the more so. You have to explore many places on your own.
After thinking for a while, Liang Yan bowed his hand to Ning Bugui and said, "Thank you, senior, for telling me the method of becoming a saint. I have benefited a lot from you today! But let's go back to the original question, where is the injury, senior?"
Why do you say you are not destined for the great road?"
Ning Bugui coughed and said calmly: "Since you already know the method of becoming a saint, you should know that the first condition for becoming a saint is to practice the laws of the Great Dao that you have mastered to the extreme."
"Not bad!" Liang Yan nodded.
"Most of the laws in the world are impure. After cultivating the law and becoming a sub-sage, something called the 'spiritual source' will appear in the body, which is stored in the Dantian. Its function is to purify the power of one's own laws."
Ning Bugui said slowly: "The purified power of the law is extremely powerful. This is also the reason why there is a huge difference in strength between the Yasheng and the ordinary monks in the Tribulation Realm. Because only after the Nine Difficulties are completed, the spirit will appear in the monks' bodies.
Source', and once the 'spiritual source' appears, the power of the same moves and magical powers will be completely different!"
"In the battle at Ruixu Mountain, someone plotted against me, and my skills went wrong, and I was finally defeated by Feng Wujiu. This man was extremely vicious. He not only severely injured me, but also destroyed my Dantian with secret techniques.
The 'spiritual source'. Once the 'spiritual source' is destroyed, I lose the possibility of overcoming the tribulation and becoming a saint, and I have no chance to connect with the great road from now on."
After listening to Ning Bugui's words, Liang Yan finally understood where he was injured and why he didn't dare to overcome the disaster.
"It turns out that the 'Lingyuan' was destroyed..."
Liang Yan thought for a while and asked, "Can I let this junior check the injury?"
"Of course!" Ning Bugui nodded in agreement without any hesitation.
"excuse me."
Liang Yan saluted again, then raised his hand and the leaves outside the thatched cottage were pulled into strips of green thread and flew in front of him.
One end of these black hair fell on Ning Bugui, and the other end fell in front of Liang Yan.
Liang Yan stretched out his fingers and fiddled with them gently, and his spiritual thoughts soon entered Ning Bugui's body. When he sank to the Dantian, he found a slightly dim ball of light.
"It seems that this is the 'Lingyuan'..." Liang Yan murmured to himself.
