Chapter 415 Seven Realms of Humanity
Xu Changshou immediately understood that this was the ancestor Xu Gan teaching him the skills.
The truly powerful skills are not recorded in words or jade slips, but are passed on orally.
Xu Gan also used the method of oral transmission to teach Xu Changshou, but he imprinted the skills in the blood of the Xu family and passed them down from generation to generation, not the kind of face-to-face oral transmission.
Being able to do this is enough to show that the strength of Xu Gan, the ancestor of the Xu family, has reached a point beyond Xu Changshou's imagination.
Om...
Then came the second character, which was an ancient word "Tao".
The moment the word "Tao" entered Xu Changshou's mind, its notes also sounded in his mind one after another.
This feeling is very wonderful, just like following the teacher of a private school, the teacher points to a certain word and teaches the students the pronunciation.
But this is more profound than the private school teacher's teaching. This kind of teaching hits the soul directly. Listening to a word and reading a word will be engraved in the soul and will never be forgotten.
Buzz buzz buzz...
Taoism is the way of heaven and earth.
Tao can be spoken, but it is not the real Tao; talismans can be used, but they are not the real talismans.
Tao is the origin of all things.
Taoism is the concrete form of Tao.
Taoism is the movement of Tao.
Taoism is the use of talismans.
Taoism is contained in Taoism, and only then can it be rational.
……
In Xu Changshou's mind, characters kept emerging one by one, and Xu Changshou began to understand the meaning of characters based on the characters.
Soon, Xu Changshou found that the ancestor was not teaching him a certain method, a certain magical power, or a certain method of drawing talismans.
But he was teaching him a kind of Taoism.
The things that the ancestor of the Xu family taught him were very comprehensive, including the "Dao Fu Jing", the experience of drawing talismans, the understanding of Taoism, and the combination of talismans and Taoism.
In short, what the ancestor of the Xu family taught Xu Changshou was the Taoism of the supreme talisman.
After accepting these characters, Xu Changshou realized that his previous understanding of talismans was too narrow.
Originally, he thought that the way of talismans was to draw talismans on paper with a pen, and to draw all kinds of spiritual talismans.
Drawing talismans with a pen is indeed a form of drawing talismans, but it does not represent the way of talismans.
The real way of talismans is the combination of "talismans" and "Taoism".
Only when the talismans and Taoism are truly combined can it be the real way of talismans.
Let's take a simple example, for example: Fire Thunder Talisman.
In Xu Changshou's previous career of drawing talismans, the Fire Thunder Talisman was definitely the talisman with the most terrifying attack power.
Among the ten attributes between heaven and earth, the thunder attribute is the most explosive, and the fire attribute is the hottest. The Fire Thunder Talisman, which combines the thunder attribute and the fire attribute, naturally has extraordinary attack power.
But when it comes to the Jindan realm, the attack of this attribute will seem a little unsatisfactory.
Because when the cultivator reaches the Jindan realm, he begins to comprehend the great Dao of heaven and earth.
No matter how strong the attack power of the Fire Thunder Talisman is, it can never be stronger than the great Dao of heaven and earth.
No matter what foundation-building cultivator, in front of the Jindan cultivator, there is no room for fighting back, and he is completely crushed.
It is because the Jindan cultivator comprehended a trace of the power of the Great Dao.
Similarly, if one can integrate the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth that one has comprehended into the spiritual talisman when drawing the talisman, then the spiritual talisman can exert unprecedented attack power.
What the ancestor Xu Gan taught to Xu Changshou was the complete Taoism of the talisman.
It is all-encompassing, including the techniques, magical powers, the methods of drawing talismans, and the application of the talisman.
In addition, the ancestor Xu Gan also reminded in the inheritance that the talisman is a road without end and no predecessors have practiced it. It has supreme potential and needs future generations to practice and further understand the talisman.
"It turns out that the ancestor Xu Gan has not reached the end on this road."
Xu Changshou began to think.
Since he entered the cultivation world, he has never heard of the talisman. The spiritual talismans in the cultivation skills are just a small way.
Of course, he has occasionally seen ancient spiritual talismans, but those ancient spiritual talismans are not the real talisman.
Therefore, Xu Changshou seriously suspected that the way of talismans was the patent of the Xu family, and it was even possible that it was a path that the ancestor Xu Gan had explored himself.
However, this was only Xu Changshou's guess and was not credible.
This time, the ancestor Xu Gan taught him a lot of things, which can be divided into three categories: skills, Taoism, and talismans.
But no matter which category it was, it was only a part of the inheritance, not a complete inheritance.
Take the skills, for example, the skills taught by the ancestor Xu Gan were the "Dao Fu Jing" that Xu Changshou had practiced before, but this skill was still incomplete and could only be practiced to the initial stage of the transformation of the spirit.
There was no subsequent skills for the transformation of the spirit realm.
The same is true for Taoism and talismans, which can probably only be used to the initial stage of the transformation of the spirit, and there is no inheritance after that.
After accepting the inheritance of Taoism from the ancestor, Xu Changshou had a preliminary understanding of the outline of the Tao.
There are three realms in the Tao, heaven, earth, and man.
They are: the realm of human Tao, the realm of earth Tao, and the realm of heaven Tao.
There is not much introduction to the earth realm and the heaven realm in the inheritance, and the main introduction is to the human realm.
The division of the human realm is extremely detailed, with a total of seven major realms, collectively known as the seven realms of the human realm.
The seven realms of the human realm are: awakening, entering the subtle, manifesting, small success, great success, extreme, and perfection.
They correspond to the seven major realms of the golden elixir, the primordial infant, the spirit, the refining void, the fusion, the Mahayana, and the tribulation.
And each major realm is further divided into four minor realms.
For example: the four minor realms of the awakening realm are: awakening the first level, awakening the second level, awakening the third level, and awakening the fourth level.
Each minor realm corresponds to the minor realm of the cultivation system.
For example:
The early stage of Jindan corresponds to the first level of awakening.
The middle stage of Jindan corresponds to the second level of awakening.
The late stage of Jindan corresponds to the third level of awakening.
The perfect stage of Jindan corresponds to the fourth level of awakening.
The early stage of Yuanying corresponds to the first level of entering the subtle.
The middle stage of Yuanying corresponds to the second level of entering the subtle.
The late stage of Yuanying corresponds to the third level of entering the subtle.
The perfect stage of Yuanying corresponds to the fourth level of entering the subtle.
The early stage of Huashen corresponds to the first level of manifestation, and so on...
The cultivators start to practice Taoism from the Jindan realm. If they want to break through the realm of cultivation, they must first break through the realm of Taoism.
Therefore, in the future, before breaking through any realm of cultivation, they must first break through the realm of Taoism.
Before breaking through the realm of Taoism, even if the realm of cultivation has reached the perfect state, as long as the realm of Taoism has not been broken through, the cultivation cannot be broken through.
It is difficult to break through the realm of cultivation, and it is even more difficult to break through the realm of Taoism.
Breaking through cultivation requires resources and time.
Breaking through the realm of Taoism requires understanding and opportunity.
The Taoism of heaven and earth is a mysterious thing. Sometimes, some people will be stuck in a certain realm for decades or hundreds of years.
Sometimes, all it takes is one epiphany or one special experience to break through.
So far, there is no complete way for people to practice Taoism, and everyone has different ways of breaking through Taoism.
Under normal circumstances, the better the spiritual roots, the better the talent, the better the talent, the better the comprehension, and the better the comprehension, the faster the breakthrough of Taoism.
At this time, Xu Changshou's cultivation is in the early stage of Jindan, at the first level of Dawn Breaking. Therefore, if he wants to break through the middle stage of Jindan, he must first break through the realm of Taoism and comprehend the second level of Dawn Breaking before breaking through the middle stage of Jindan.
