Yuqing: "Shall we go and talk to them now?"
Jiang Zhen shook her head:
"No! We can't do that. We need to fight another battle. We have to defeat those sisters."
And only by getting them to listen attentively can we get them to act according to our ideas.
Taiqing also spoke up:
"That's right, to achieve this, we must defeat them first, Second Brother!"
.......................................
While the three were discussing this in the thatched hut, outside, Taiyi Zhenren and Yuding Zhenren were discussing something with others.
He showed a look of shock, especially when discussing philosophy with others.
Looking at Zhang Chulan, he said with a look of horror:
"Fellow Daoist Zhang's lightning techniques have actually evolved into the Dao of Heavenly Tribulation, which is truly impressive."
"Perhaps one day, you, fellow Daoist, will be able to control the Heavenly Tribulation!"
Zhang Chulan: "What I'm talking about is nothing. My master is truly terrifying. His Dao is the Dao of Heavenly Punishment!"
Chapter 697 Three Thousand Great Paths, Each One Leads to Enlightenment!
"What? The Way of Heavenly Punishment? Is that really possible? This kind of Way can't be controlled by humans, can it?"
Hearing this, Zhang Chulan smiled and said:
"Fellow Daoists, how do you know it can't succeed if you haven't even tried?"
Moreover, have you ever seen my Heavenly Tribulation Path before?
Upon hearing this, Taiyi and Yuding shook their heads and said:
"No, even if it is acting on behalf of Heaven to punish, it is only borrowing the power of Heaven and Earth."
"It's not like you, fellow Daoist, who can generate powerful lightning tribulations on their own!"
Hearing this, Zhang Chulan smiled and said:
"Haha, now you two fellow Daoists will know."
Moreover, among us, my path is not as powerful as you think.
The truly powerful ones haven't appeared yet, and my fellow Daoists, their Dao is also extraordinary!
If you don't believe me, you can see for yourselves!
At this moment, Uncle Nine walked out, smiled slightly, and began to discuss philosophy with the two.
Hearing Uncle Nine completely integrate the Dao of Talismans into his own body.
They even regarded the entire talisman as something similar to a golden core or a nascent soul.
This method directly shocked the two of them, who had been pursuing the path of Qi Refining and the Path of Primordial Spirit.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, your Dao is quite extraordinary!"
They were able to transform all things in heaven and earth into talismans.
Moreover, if you continue down this path, you might actually be able to converge into countless paths.
However, this presents some difficulties! In fact, it's extremely difficult!
Hearing this, Uncle Nine smiled and said:
"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, Fellow Daoist Yuding, I cannot agree with these words."
Cultivating the Tao is inherently very difficult. If it were easy, then the whole world would be filled with Taoist practitioners.
Moreover, our cultivation of the Tao is inherently against the will of Heaven; difficulties are to be expected.
Upon hearing this, Taiyi and Yuding frowned and said:
"Going against the heavens, fellow Daoist, that's wrong. Our cultivation should follow the heavens, how can it be going against the heavens?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiu shook his head and said:
"No, no, no! This is going against the will of Heaven. If it were truly in accordance with the will of Heaven..."
So, how should we cultivate this Dao? We shouldn't be cultivating it.
We cultivate by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and by consuming rare and precious materials.
This is tantamount to constantly taking from the world.
Heaven and earth send down disasters and calamities to hinder our progress.
So, if we don't cultivate, these things won't happen to us.
However, when we cultivate, we are constantly taking, isn't that going against the heavens?
As for your so-called "following the will of Heaven," it is actually just that you have seen the workings of the Heavenly Way.
Having discovered what Heaven intends to do next, you stepped in to help.
This is what you call following the will of Heaven.
However, your existence is inherently defying the heavens.
As the saying goes: "Following the natural order is mortal, defying it is immortality—that's what immortals are all about!"
Both of them were stunned upon hearing this.
Just as the two were pondering Lin Jiu's words, Li Lianhua came out and sat cross-legged in front of them.
Immediately afterwards, a clear sword ringing sound came from his body.
"Clang clang clang... clang clang clang..."
Upon hearing this voice, Li Lianhua smiled and said:
“Fellow Daoists, let’s discuss this! My Dao is the Dao of Nature.”
Heaven and earth are natural, the sun and moon revolve, the seasons change, the sun rises and the moon sets, the weather changes, and there are storms and torrential rains.
All the natural changes in the world are contained within my single sword strike; this is my Way of Nature.
As soon as he finished speaking, a natural sword appeared above Li Lianhua's head, its light flashing continuously.
It contains the constant changes of heaven and earth, and the changing of the seasons.
Spring warmth and blooming flowers, torrential rains, bleak autumn winds, abundant fruits, and a world draped in silver—all these constantly emerge from this single sword strike.
There are even scenes of the sun rising and the moon setting, as if it were the cycle of time.
Upon seeing this, Taiyi and Yuding stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.
"This...this is...unbelievable, you can actually create a world with a single sword strike."
This is truly incredible, fellow Daoist! Your swordsmanship is the essence of all things in heaven and earth!
Upon hearing this, Li Lianhua smiled gently, shook her head, and said:
"My sword strike was still a bit lacking, although it could evolve into the natural world."
However, it cannot conjure living beings. If one day, my sword could conjure living beings from the heavens and earth, then that would be true power.
Hearing this, both of them were stunned by Li Lianhua's idea.
"To create living beings with a single sword strike... is that really possible?"
Li Lianhua: "I don't know, but I'm trying to take that step."
After all, the world is nature; without living beings, what kind of sword of nature is it?
Upon hearing this, Taiyi spoke up:
"In my view, your path is just like the Sword of the World."
Upon hearing this, Li Lianhua raised an eyebrow and said:
"The Sword of the World? I'm not that powerful yet, and the world is far more complex and unpredictable!"
...............................
Just after Li Lianhua finished speaking, Tu Shan Honghong took a step forward and stood in front of the two of them.
"Tu Shan Honghong has come to discuss the Dao with you two!"
Upon hearing this, the two of them showed expressions of shock.
"Tu Shan, you're actually from the Tu Shan lineage!"
Tu Shan Honghong nodded slightly and said:
"That's right, my path lies in emotion, and my lineage cultivates the power of emotion."
Love arises without warning, and deepens with each passing moment!
The path of love encompasses the seven emotions and six desires, as well as all the complexities of the mortal world.
Amidst the mortal world, temper your character, step into the immortal realm, and attain the status of a celestial being.
Hearing Tu Shan Hong Hong's words, Tai Yi and Yu Ding fell silent.
However, the look of horror in their eyes was enough to show that they were extremely shocked.
Because, in this vast mortal world, to step into the realm of the Immortal Golden Immortal was indeed a shock to them.
After all, in their view, cultivation requires purifying the mind and eliminating desires in order to achieve the status of a Golden Immortal.
However, now, a being has suddenly appeared who directly utilizes the mortal world and, within it, uses the seven emotions and six desires to achieve immortality or godhood.
Moreover, this was someone who had stepped into the realm of Immortal Golden Immortal, how could this not shock them?
This completely overturned their understanding.
Seeing their expressions, Tu Shan Honghong finished speaking directly:
"There are three thousand great paths, each of which can lead to enlightenment. The seven emotions and six desires are also a path, so why can't we cultivate them?"
It's just that you haven't found the way yet.
