Dedicate One’s Mind

The spiritual rain came, and everyone cheered. Before it dispersed, Wu Yi and a group of immortals came to the important place of the ancestral court.

That spiritual rain might be able to bribe the low-level or middle-level disciples, but it is basically impossible to bribe these people, because Wu Yi took away the opportunity that originally belonged to one of them. This is worse than killing his father and his mother. Much more.

Therefore, Wu Yi does not expect to be able to reconcile with them, but to trade with them. As time goes by, as long as he maintains the stability of the Xuanchen Domain and maintains his strength, no one can shake his position and can only accept the reality.

In fact, after Wu Yi fully adapts to that realm, no matter how dissatisfied they are, they can't afford to waste money.

The leader of the Qi Sect in the upper realm is an old man with a pale face and a tall figure. Judging from the traces of time, he should have lived for no less than five kalpas. He is called Linmingzi, which means he has lived for 600,000 years. .

The life expectancy of immortals has always been a puzzling issue. Generally speaking, in the immortal way, if the Taichu immortal has not achieved the realm of golden immortal, his life expectancy will not exceed one calamity. He must be reincarnated. Can he see through the womb? Mysteries are all questions.

If you are a Taichu Golden Immortal, you will basically have a life expectancy of one calamity, but it is difficult to exceed two calamities, unless you get an immortal treasure, or there is a Supreme Immortal Taiyi who is willing to suffer a calamity of karma to extend your life.

But the possibility of both is basically zero. Even if there is such an immortal treasure, it is not the turn of a Taichu Immortal to use it, and there will not be any Taiyi Immortal willing to use it to extend your life. Are you the son of a saint? ridiculous.

Taiyi Supreme Immortal himself also has a limit. Generally speaking, this number is ten tribulations, but even Taiyi Golden Immortal can hardly live to ten tribulations. The accumulated calamity energy of each calamity is a huge burden, which requires Disappeared in the long river of time and space. Try your best to maintain your origins from being eroded by three disasters and five calamities, and no matter what happens, you must leave room for Bingjie's reincarnation.

Next up is the Great Luo Immortal. Although Wu Yi has half a foot in it now, he doesn’t know much.

What is mentioned above is all the situation of the Immortal Path. To be precise, it is the situation of the Taoist sect. Among the sects of Buddhism, Theravada Buddhism is similar to the Taoist sect. It guides oneself and rarely participates in reincarnation. Buddhists of the Mahayana Buddhism do not cultivate the physical body. , Concentrate on cultivating the heart, so you only have a few dozen lives in one life, but because of your strong heart, you can basically maintain your true spirit after death, and inherit the memories of your previous life after reincarnation.

Because Mahayana Buddhism does not pay much attention to the physical body, it is naturally extremely indifferent to blood and family ties. It is not an exaggeration to say that it does not care at all.

Disciples of Mahayana Buddhism have eliminated their calamities time and again through reincarnations. Even if they are in the Arhat state, which is equivalent to the realm of the immortals in the beginning, if the years of reincarnation are superimposed, they generally have a life expectancy several times that of Taoism. (Mahayana Buddhism does not have a theory of realm. What Arhats, Bodhisattvas and Buddhas talk about is inner cultivation. It is cited here for the convenience of understanding).

Of course, reincarnations can eliminate most of the disasters. Death is like a lamp going out. Those who don't know about reincarnation will basically not be entangled in it again.

However, there is no need to be envious. Reincarnation also has problems. Even if the Buddha reincarnated on the safest and most stable path of heaven among the six reincarnations, accidents would still happen. What if the reincarnation goes wrong.

One lifetime of humiliation may very well destroy your hundred lifetimes of cultivation.

Adding this element into it, in fact, the difference between Buddhism and Taoism is not big. If they have the same cultivation level, Buddhist disciples must have several times the life expectancy, and Buddhism has long unified the world.

The situation of the demons and demons is basically the same as that of Taoism. I won’t mention it any more. The next thing worth mentioning is Shinto. If the gods of Shinto are incessant, their divine power will be endless, that is, they will not die. As long as they believe in their own race. Without extinction, they are essentially immortal.

Like the gods of the South and the North, this is the case for everyone. Shinto belief spreads all over the world. Even if one realm is hit, it can be recovered in other realms. Compared with many immortal monks, they are much more carefree.

But is this really the case? First of all, there are still a handful of gods with status like Nandou Beidou. Secondly, as gods of incense and fire, their power depends on their believers, not themselves. If there are not many believers, a mountain bandit can destroy your temple. There is no prestige at all.

Finally, the incense and fire gods have fierce internal disputes and frequent changes. One priesthood often has more than a dozen gods. In theory, it is indeed eternal life. However, many gods, even gods recognized by the dynasty, cannot live for ten thousand years, let alone one. Robbed.

Therefore, Dao monks are not ashamed to be gods. The gods under the rule of Immortal Dao are just a group of obedient servants.

Among the gods, there are also natural gods. As part of the order of heaven and earth, they are unknown. Unless the world changes drastically, their origins will change. Their status is basically invincible, but their number is extremely rare and can basically be ignored.

In the human world, even if you are the emperor, you cannot extend your life. However, if your civil and military skills are better than those of other emperors and your reputation is great, your name will be passed down to future generations and become a totem symbol, which can continue to exert your influence. In a sense, it is also alive.

Among the human beings, in addition to the emperor, there are hundreds of schools of thought who have written books and biographies. Their doctrines ignore the barriers of time and space. As long as they are abandoned by extraordinary forces, they can thrive and grow into human beings. They divide states and build countries.

The life expectancy of the disciples is not long, just like ordinary people, but the influence of those who pioneered a lineage can be comparable to that of the saints.

The emergence and development of humanity was actually the biggest change in the Middle Ages and modern times. It was only covered up by the civil strife in the Taoist sect and the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism. Only when humanity grew up did we suddenly realize that they had become a phenomenon.

If nothing unexpected happens, the next great catastrophe will be a struggle between extraordinary power and ordinary power. It conforms to the trend of the world's wisdom gradually returning to the ordinary, and is also an inevitable result of the development of humanity.

However, these are too far away, so I can only speculate.

It is hard to imagine that Wu Yi just saw the clear face of the leader of Yiqi Sect, and so many things came to mind.

In fact, from the side, it can also be reflected that Wu Yi began to think about life and death. Until now, he had not thought about these things, either because he was busy with other things, or because he was confident that there were many people in his age group, and he did not think about it. not give a damn about.

However, the death that Wu Yi is thinking about now is completely different from what ordinary people call death. It is the destruction of the origin, the stagnation of the long river of time and space, and the emptiness of the long river of destiny, rather than simply the death of the body. .

Destroy the heaven and earth, chase the stars and the moon, these words that used to be unimaginable in my mind are completely different from my previous understanding.

Maybe, this is growth!
