Chapter 72: End of the Second Lecture: Three Methods of Enlightenment
In Zixiao Palace, Daozu Hongjun accepted Sanqing and Nuwa as his disciples, and gave them the foundation of the holy way, the primordial purple qi, and then he stopped talking.
Seeing this situation, the cultivators present felt a shudder in their hearts and secretly said that it was not good. At this point, how could they not understand? Aren't the disciples of Daozu Hongjun corresponding to the people on the six cushions in front? And if the primordial purple qi is a necessary condition for becoming a saint, then Sanqing and Nuwa are destined to become saints, and they will be ants forever, and it will be difficult for them to turn over?
At this moment, Dijun, Taiyi, Zhenyuanzi, Minghe and others all looked extremely ugly, looking at the six cushions in the front, with deep regret in their expressions. As for Kunpeng, he looked at Hongyun Taoist with resentment. If it weren't for him, he would have become a disciple of Daozu long ago.
If I had known earlier that the six cushions represented the disciples of Daozu Hongjun and the future saints, I would have said that I would have snatched one! Now, what should I do? What should I do?
After giving Nuwa the primordial purple qi, Daoist ancestor Hongjun remained silent. Seeing this, just when Dijun, Zhenyuanzi and others were extremely regretful, Jieyin and Zhunti on the futon saw Hongjun's silence, and they were immediately anxious. They knelt down and begged to the ancestor Hongjun:
"Teacher, we two are devoted to Taoism, please accept us as disciples."
After a long silence, looking at the two, the ancestor Hongjun took a deep breath and sighed:
"Forget it, forget it! You two have a shallow fate with me, but you can also be my nominal disciples. I will give you these two primordial purple qi."
With a wave of his sleeves, two more primordial purple qi merged into Jieyin and Zhunti's bodies. It was Hongjun who remembered the cause and effect owed during the Western Dao-Demon War that year, and he had to pay it back. He knew that the two people in front of him would leave Xuanmen in the future and re-establish his own sect, but he had to do this.
"Thank you, Master. Thank you for your kindness." Jie Yin and Zhunti were overjoyed and thanked him.
At this moment, Taiyi of the demon clan could not help himself. He stood up and pleaded with Hongjun Daozu:
"Daozu, my elder brother is the emperor of the demon clan. Can he get a primordial purple qi?" As soon as these words fell, other people reacted and pleaded.
"Nine is the ultimate. There should be nine saints under the heavenly way. My Xuanmen occupies eight, seven have gone, and one is left. Well! Well, there is still a primordial purple qi here, let it choose by itself."
Seeing this, Hongjun looked indifferent and calm, turning a blind eye to the pleadings of the crowd. But in the end, for some unknown reason, he sighed, and the great cultivator flicked his hand. A stream of primordial purple air flew out and circled in the Zixiao Palace for a while. The cultivators stared at it and didn't let it go. Some even tried to catch it with their hands, but the primordial purple air passed through their bodies and they didn't catch any corners.
Finally, the cultivators saw that the primordial purple air circled the hall for a while, then suddenly descended and quickly fell into the body of Taoist Hongyun.
Taoist Hongyun was ecstatic when he saw this, and he kowtowed and thanked her with tears. However, Taoist Hongjun was always cold, neither sad nor happy, and ignored him.
When the other cultivators saw this, they looked at Taoist Hongyun with envy on their faces, but some people had a cold light in their eyes, but they had other thoughts in their hearts. Such as Dijun, Taiyi, Kunpeng and others, especially Kunpeng, when he saw Hongyun get the primordial purple air, the resentment in his eyes became stronger.
It was Taoist Zhen Yuanzi who knew something was wrong when he saw this. He was extremely anxious and worried for his friend.
"The second sermon is over. Ten thousand years later, the third and final sermon will be held." Hongjun said lightly, regardless of the reactions of the cultivators.
After he finished speaking, his figure gradually faded into the void and disappeared. At this time, the gate of Zixiao Palace was also opened.
Seeing this, the cultivators all left Zixiao Palace and headed towards the prehistoric land. This sermon was too profound and they needed a deeper understanding. Zhen Yuanzi grabbed Taoist Hongyun and flew quickly to Wanshou Mountain.
"Taoist Kunpeng, please stay. We have something to discuss."
At this moment, Di Jun suddenly called Kunpeng who was about to leave, and then the two brothers and Nuwa brothers and sisters walked towards Kunpeng together.
Seeing this, Kunpeng stopped and looked at the four people. He was puzzled. Why did these four people come to him? Could it be that --
"Hello, fellow Taoists. I wonder why you invited me?"
Di Jun said directly without any hesitation: "Fellow Taoist Kunpeng, we are all from the demon clan. Now the unification of the demon clan is the general trend. We invite you to Beiming Palace to join the demon clan. What do you think?"
Sure enough, when Kunpeng heard this, his eyes shrank slightly, he sighed in his heart, and said in a deep voice:
"Thank you for your kindness, fellow Taoists. The Beiming Palace is located in a remote area and is weak. I don't want to join the struggle in the prehistoric world. I will take my leave now!"
After saying that, before the four people could say anything else, Kunpeng spread his wings and flew directly into the prehistoric world.
Seeing this, the four people looked a little gloomy, and looked at Kunpeng's departing figure, with a hint of coldness in their eyes.
"This Kunpeng really doesn't know how to show kindness!" Taiyi shouted angrily.
"Okay, a mere Kunpeng, I don't believe he can stir up much waves, let's go back and chop the corpse first, and then discuss the major issues of the demon clan." After a moment of silence, Di Jun spoke.
"Good!" The other three had no objection and agreed. After that, they rode the auspicious cloud and headed for the prehistoric world.
Yuanshi and the other two didn't know what happened between the four people, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
After the three of them passed through the chaos and entered the prehistoric world, they went straight back to Kunlun. This time, they listened to the Three Corpses and gained a lot. In the Yuanshen, the three flowers were jumping, which might be a sign that the corpse was about to be chopped, and they urgently needed to retreat.
After returning to Kunlun, the three announced that they would retreat. They needed to refine the Hongmeng purple air and comprehend the method of chopping corpses, so that they could chop corpses as soon as possible. Seeing their hurried appearance, the disciples did not come to disturb them.
Yuanshi didn't look at the Hongmeng purple air first, but comprehended the Three Corpses. Anyway, the Hongmeng purple air was there, and it wouldn't run away, so why rush. Now, killing the three corpses to prove the truth is the most important thing.
As the saying goes, there are three ways to achieve enlightenment: one is to prove the truth by force, the second is to prove the truth by killing the three corpses, and the third is to achieve enlightenment by merit. It goes without saying that proving the truth by force is natural. Pangu and the three thousand chaotic demons all proved the truth by force. In Yuanshi's view, proving the truth by force is not to open up the world. Proving the truth by force is to comprehend the great way that belongs to oneself, and then continuously accumulate Taoism, great magic power, and use great magic power and great supernatural powers to forcibly split the confinement of the realm and reach the Hunyuan realm. Opening up the world is just one of the ways to prove the truth by force.
To achieve enlightenment by merit is naturally to have great contributions to heaven and earth, and to be rewarded after the favor of heaven. This is a kind of heaven and earth fruit position, not Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, nor the so-called saint, but the supreme man, or the merit supreme man, the merit saint, which is actually a tricky approach, so achieving enlightenment by merit is the weakest.
However, as far as he knew, except for Hongjun Daozu, all other saints in later generations became saints through merit.
This method of beheading the three corpses to achieve enlightenment was created by Hongjun Daozu. Through the innate things, the three corpses of good and evil were beheaded, the mind was clear, and then the three corpses were united, the mixed primordial unity, the power reached the peak, and the Dao of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian was proved to be unique.
And it was precisely because of this method of the three corpses that there was the realm of quasi-saints. Originally, there was no such thing as quasi-saints in the prehistoric world. It was only since the appearance of Hongjun that there was the realm of quasi-saints. Originally, these were all called Daluo Jinxian.
Just like Yuanshi now, although he is still in the realm of Daluo Jinxian, his magic power has already reached the perfection of quasi-saints, and he is only one step away from enlightenment.
Without thinking too much, he soon immersed himself in the method of beheading the three corpses.
