Chapter 465 The Three Questions of the Way, Practice Yourself
Be bold!
Very bold.
This was the only thought that came to Daojun Jiuling's mind after listening to Lin Yi's words.
In this person's eyes, he not only compares the source of Tao to a glass of wine, but also compares the high-altitude Heavenly Lord, the realm he has always wanted to achieve in this life, to a gift.
A gift that requires recognition from others.
Although, this kind of gift comes from the recognition of the true world of Taoyuan.
But this kind of recognition, at this moment, because of this person's simple and straightforward words, in the calmness, had an inexplicable but extremely ironic meaning.
"Fellow Daoist Lin is really brave, but everything you say doesn't exist."
Jiuling Daojun picked up the wine glass in his hand and drank the wine in one gulp.
"At least, in Yu Jiuling's eyes, this wine is only acceptable, and it cannot be said to be a fine wine."
"Different people like different tastes of wine, just like the same Tao, the Tao pursued by each person is also different.
Up and down the road, people's tastes vary in all kinds of strange ways.
Because of this, even if a group of people practice the same Tao, they will have different results.
Only in this way will there be a unique difference.
But are they really weak?"
Lin Yi smiled.
"At least, in Lin's view, they all clearly understood the Tao in their hearts, but when they went further, they did not gain recognition from more people.
Therefore, there is a difference.”
"If we follow what Fellow Taoist said, wouldn't it be possible to achieve the position of Heavenly Lord as long as it is recognized by the Taoist Realm?
But Taoist friends must know that there are only a handful of deities in the Taoyuan Realm today."
Daojun Jiuling said in a deep voice, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes.
He would never agree with Lin Yi's previous explanation of Daoyuan, because it was too childish and too superficial.
If he had been defeated by the Confucian Heavenly Master back then, it would have only been because the Taoyuan True Realm had poured a glass of wine.
And because he is not qualified to drink alcohol and cannot realize the Tao of Heaven, this may be the greatest shame in his life.
This is also something he is willing to admit.
"Yes, there are only a handful of deities today."
Lin Yi said with a sigh on his face, then looked at Dao Lord Jiuling with a faint smile on his lips.
"Have you ever heard of this word?"
"What word."
Lord Jiuling asked.
"Have you ever heard that incense is poisonous?"
Looking at Jiuling Daojun's frown, Lin Yi smiled slightly and continued.
"When I was at the inheritance place of Sword Master Zhao Xuanzhen, I once experienced a strange little world.
Or, should I say, a mapping from some lower bound.
In that world, the source of power of gods and Buddhas all over the sky came from the faith of all living beings.
As long as you gain enough faith and have enough believers, even a mortal can ascend to the position of an immortal god in an instant.
However, creatures are limited and faith is limited.
Even if it is infinite, in order to become more powerful, the gods and Buddhas in the sky will use various methods to knock others off the altar, thereby occupying more faith.
No.
In fact, at this point, it is no longer just a matter of competition.
Because if the gods and Buddhas in the sky don't want to have many more supreme positions above their heads to suppress them,
Then, take advantage of the power of faith, expand your followers, and at the same time eliminate potential competitors one after another.
Only in this way can we ensure the supreme position that no one can pry into.
In other words, even if someone spies on me, I still have the same supreme status as them."
Speaking of this, Ji Ling Daojun looked at Jiuling Daojun.
"So, fellow Taoist, what I want to say is that in order to better consolidate their positions, countless gods and Buddhas will unite with each other after gaining certain advantages.
By dividing the territory and controlling the power of faith, infinite faith becomes limited.
As a result, the divine throne that should have been accessible to ordinary people has become a difficult and unattainable existence.
Only by meeting certain requirements, and only by being in line with the interests and favor of the superiors, can we hope to become immortals and Buddhas?"
Taoist Lord Jiuling looked at Lin Yi, and there was something complicated in his eyes.
At the same time, even he himself didn't know that there was a trace of strong unwillingness in the depths of his eyes, where the sea of soul was reflected.
"What if I say no?"
Lord Jiuling Daoist spoke again.
But this time, before Ji Yi could answer, he said to himself.
"If an ordinary person does not want to obey the orders of immortals and Buddhas, then he has to gain enough faith from the infinite faith.
Then, after accumulating enough faith, he can stand in front of the aloof Immortal Buddha and snatch a supreme position from the limited position occupied by him.
Incense, source of truth.
If you just look at it this way, there are some similarities."
Jiuling Daojun laughed at himself, his face straightened, and he looked at Lin Yidao closely.
"But the incense in your mouth is insignificant compared to the source of Tao, because Tao is infinite.
No need for ordinary people's beliefs.
Because the Tao is the Tao."
"Indeed, the Tao in the true world of Taoyuan is infinite."
Ji Yi didn't deny it, just said it softly.
"But the reason why the true world of Taoyuan is infinite is because there is always a true world integrated into it.
Are these true realms, to a certain extent, not the calling of the person who contributes his faith?”
Looking at Jiuling Daojun's eyes, Ji Yi's eyes were extremely clear.
"."
Jiuling Daojun was silent, and there were mysterious auras in his body that were constantly being triggered.
These breaths are like countless invisible vortices on the calm water surface. They become more and more intense as they are repeatedly entangled.
At least, Ji Yi felt a killing intent in these breaths.
This murderous intention came from Jiuling Dao Lord and landed on his body.
However, in the face of this murderous intention, Ji Yi turned a deaf ear, as if he had never noticed it. He just looked at the scenery in the distance quietly and poured himself a drink.
After a long time, most of the complex aura dissipated, and most of it condensed, finally turning into a faint question.
"Then according to Taoist friends, what is the source of Tao, what is Tianzun, and what is Tao?
If fellow Taoist's answer satisfies me, then fellow Taoist will see what you want to see."
"That will probably disappoint Jiuling Dao. You may not be satisfied with my answer."
"Why?"
Taojun Jiuling looked at Lin Yi, his eyes becoming extremely sharp at this moment.
"The Tao is the Tao. The Tao that you and I follow in our hearts, the way that we understand ourselves clearly, and the source that condenses ourselves is the source of the Tao.
The one who is above the source of Tao is the Heavenly Lord.
This is my answer, are you satisfied with it?"
Having said this, Ji Yi said calmly.
"However, it doesn't matter even if you are not satisfied, because this is Lin's way."
