The paths of spiritual practice are numerous and endless, with infinite ways and infinite methods. There is no fixed number, but in the final analysis, there are only two ways, seeking inwardly or seeking outwardly.
The way of internal refining is to observe all the phenomena of heaven and earth, grasp their essence, condense the inner scene, build a great road, and constantly ponder it, until the last one reaches the sky and lasts for eternity.
As for external seeking, that means either searching for or seizing all kinds of extraordinary treasures or powers in the world. The world is infinite, and the treasures are also endless. Many treasures are the condensation of the great ways of heaven and earth. After the practitioner obtains them, there is no need
How to understand, turn yourself into a furnace, condense the aura of the great road, and achieve yourself in this way.
After all, no matter what kind of treasure, the five shapes of yin and yang, or wind, fire and thunder, they are all in the Tao, and what is smelted in the end is the Tao.
Just practicing in this way will cause great damage to the heaven and earth. In fact, to be precise, it is not the heaven and earth that is damaged. No matter how the practitioner plunders, as long as the practitioner does not transcend, those things will always be there. Instead, they will be condensed by the practitioner.
, all kinds of light, adding more changes.
Such a path will really harm the latecomers.
The farther back we go, the poorer the space and time of heaven and earth become, because the way between heaven and earth has been taken away by others. It becomes more and more difficult to seek the way from outside. Only by looking inward, concentrating and building up, can we have the possibility of reaching the sky.
The era when she was born was not considered backward. At that time, the path of internal cultivation had just sprouted, while the path of external pursuit had already shown its shortcomings. The cultivators were increasingly fighting against each other.
It is normal for the enemy to be killed and refining, but it is still possible to get through.
In an era, within tens of billions of years, one or two Tao masters can be born who condense Luo Tian and reflect the heavens.
The path of seeking from outside can be achieved very quickly. Even if it is a mortal, if he smelts a powerful enough treasure, becomes an immortal in one step, and lives forever from then on, it will be very easy.
But the biggest disadvantage of this path is that if the mind is not tempered enough and the mind is not strong enough, it will overturn in an instant, or it will become obsessed, gradually lose oneself, or simply disappear into ashes.
On the other hand, as long as the mind is strong enough, you only need to continuously smelt various treasures, and you can accumulate cultivation and strength very quickly. There is no need to study hard, as long as you smelt things, they will naturally be yours, and it doesn't matter.
The bottleneck. The reason why you encounter a bottleneck can only prove that your recipe is not broad enough, and the things you swallow cannot be blended enough.
At this time, you can either look for some treasures that can complement yourself, or simply go and kill a strong man who seems to be opposite to the Dao Fruit you have condensed, kill and refine a dragon, and after completing this
, the bottleneck will naturally be broken.
Of course, there are also people who encounter so-called bottlenecks and do not follow the right path, but work hard to understand and learn from the world to complete themselves.
This path is also feasible, but the problem is that it takes too much time. Tens of efforts lead to half the gains, so it is denounced as an evil path.
When it comes to the path of external pursuit, the biggest flaw is that the more things are smelted, the more intense the mental calamity will be. Treasures are the manifestation of the Tao. If you are in harmony with the Tao and gain great power, you will naturally transform into the Tao.
danger.
Furthermore, the cultivation on this path, before jumping out of the avenue, is your own, but it is not entirely yours, and it may be taken away by others.
After it is captured, it can only be rebuilt.
Even a strong person who has become an immortal is still a powerful being even among immortals. If his cultivation level is lost due to an accident, he can only cultivate it again. If he is demoted to a mortal, cultivating again is indeed more powerful than a mortal.
It's fast, but the treasures that need to be smelted cannot be less.
Internal training is different. It is rarely affected by the environment. The so-called loss of cultivation does not exist for them, because they themselves are cultivation, and knowledge is power.
If their strength is refined, it can only be regarded as that their strength has been exhausted, and it can be easily replenished. Unless they are thrown into absolute "emptiness", otherwise, the strong people on this path will only exist in the environment.
They can seize any "power" or energy they have and turn it into their own use.
But it is only "use", not "self".
External seeking means that I am the heaven and earth, while internal refining means controlling all things. All things are for my use and do not need to be owned by me.
If this road reaches a high enough level, you can only kill it directly. Otherwise, even if all its memories are erased, it will not die as long as it exists. As time goes by, the erased things will naturally be restored. As for what will happen?
It is beaten to death and eaten. Although this kind of existence is borrowed from heaven and earth, it does not completely belong to heaven and earth. It has a strong self-color. If everything is directly and roughly smelted into its own fruit, the soul will definitely appear.
aspects of the problem.
Undoubtedly, the path of internal refining has too many advantages at the same level, but the disadvantages are also obvious, it is more difficult and the speed is too slow.
As an envoy under the Demon Lord, she was also a leader of her era. She fought and fought all the way, and finally united Luo Tian to reflect the heavens. During her heyday, she also traveled a long way in the field of creation.
The path she took was undoubtedly the path of seeking from the outside. She had smelted countless treasures to create the Tao Fruit, and her mind had been tempered many times, so that she could control this extraordinary fruit.
Now, her mind has not retreated, but her strength and realm have declined severely.
Four hundred and eighty million thoughts can support the greatness that reflects the heavens, but now, a single thought cannot support it alone.
Therefore, she already had a calculation in her mind.
After the tribulation, the heaven and earth changed drastically. The complete world was divided from the vast ocean to only a small pond. The treasures bred by the Tao were also severely weakened in all aspects.
But since she is following the devil's path, she naturally has her own methods. For the great devil, life itself is also a kind of treasure.
The aura of life is sacrificed through magic methods, and it can condense the light from the void.
The only problem is probably that no matter how many sentient beings sacrifice blood, they will ultimately be no match for the treasures created naturally by heaven and earth, and their quality is limited.
But now, it is enough.
She thought for a moment and realized that the Muhuang Realm in front of her, as the Xuantian Sect's population cultivation base, had a population of about ten trillion, which was not a large number. In her time, some mortal devils were always there.
In the magic weapon, hundreds of caves are opened, and the lives in each cave are counted in trillions.
Those devil cubs keep these beings in captivity, or let them pray to provide the power of wishes, which can be used to refine magic weapons or even their own bodies. If they encounter a strong enemy, they can be sacrificed in one go to activate the treasure.
of power.
However, later on, with the establishment of heaven and the establishment of order, this kind of thing was directly prohibited.
As for now, the heaven has long since collapsed, and history has long been eradicated. She will sacrifice the blood of this world first, and more or less, she can restore some vitality.
After all, she is currently very weak with such a thought.
For a strong demon like her, the most basic thing is to eliminate emotion and sex, and she would not think this kind of thing is cruel. Unless they are at the same level as her, otherwise, the weak are just bugs.
