Chapter 658 Destiny!

Let’s get back to the point. After the 20th year of Jin Chan’s cultivation under the Queen Mother of the West, he crossed the four mortal realms of refining essence, refining qi, refining spirit, and refining emptiness.

He collected the essence of the five internal organs and six bowels, combined with the spiritual essence, and circulated the small and large Zhoutian.

Taking Taixu as the cauldron, Taiji as the furnace, purity as the base of the elixir, inaction as the elixir field, life and death as lead and mercury, concentration and wisdom as water and fire, and suppressing desire and punishing anger as the intersection of water and fire.

When the heart, essence, kidney and water intersect, they turn into dragon and tiger. Taixu and Taiji are the furnace and cauldron. He cultivated the Samadhi in the chest and condensed the first ray of immortal magic power.

For practitioners, this Samadhi in the chest is the foundation of their life. Once someone beats out the Samadhi in the chest, the person’s essence will be scattered, and there is no way to turn the tide.

Being able to cultivate the true fire of Samadhi in the chest and transform it into true qi can be regarded as a preliminary step into the realm of immortality in this world of Journey to the West.

This Samadhi Qi will be like a furnace of the sun, swallowing and spitting out spiritual essence day and night, thus continuously cultivating the magic power of immortals.

Every additional magic power in the body of an immortal can extend his lifespan for a whole year!

In this way, as long as the spiritual energy of the outside world is not interrupted, and he himself is free of illness, pain, disasters and difficulties, he can continue to practice along this path of cultivation, and he can live forever and live forever.

However, this so-called "longevity" is actually just a false appearance.

Not to mention that the path of seeking the Tao for practitioners can be said to be full of disasters, and they will encounter various disasters and catastrophes if they are not careful.

There are life and death crises in wartime, and demons in leisure time.

The more fundamental problem is that every 120 million years, this world of Journey to the West will surely be visited by a heaven and earth catastrophe.

At that time, the whole world will enter a dark and turbulent Dharma-Ending Age.

During this long 100,000 years, the spiritual essence was completely cut off. Even the most advanced supernatural powers were useless. There was no way to cultivate any magic power.

That terrible heaven and earth catastrophe was the nightmare of the gods. Even the first generation of gods who were high above could be easily wiped out in this catastrophe.

Death followed the gods like a death warrant. Except for a few top gods standing at the top of the pyramid who didn't care about it,

most of the gods and Buddhas tried their best to collect spiritual essence in order to survive this heaven and earth catastrophe, and became more or less crazy.

…

…

It was the 50th year that Jin Chan practiced attentively under the seat of the Queen Mother of the West.

During this period, Jin Chan, relying on his unique talent, awakened the powerful bloodline power of the legendary three-legged golden toad!

In an instant, his skin and flesh seemed to be carefully cast by gold, shining with dazzling light.

After that, the three-legged golden toad came to the door in person, recognized the golden toad as his own son, and decided to take charge of the position of the god of wealth that countless gods desire but cannot reach.

However, in fact, the reason is not just because of his love for the golden toad.

More importantly, it is because of the favor of the Queen Mother of the West.

As we all know, the golden toad is the favorite disciple of the Queen Mother of the West, and its status is naturally extraordinary.

And what about the three-legged golden toad?

He is just a spiritual beast under the seat of Liu Hai, a disciple of Lu Dongbin.

Besides, Lu Dongbin is just the reincarnation of Emperor Donghua after being demoted!

In this way, if we carefully calculate according to the seniority of the master, the golden toad and the three-legged golden toad are actually people of the same generation.

However, in terms of status, the golden toad, as a disciple of the Queen Mother of the West, is undoubtedly much higher than the spiritual beasts under the command of the three-legged golden toad.

But in fact, it is not the case, because the relationship between Liu Hai and the three-legged golden toad is quite special.

The two of them were originally two bodies with one mind. They were independent of each other, but they were integrated into one. After merging, they became one of the famous "Eight Immortals in China" - Liu Haichan.

Later, after gaining enough merits, he was promoted to the God of Wealth in the Northwest, and Liu Haichan's position in the Eight Immortals was replaced by Zhang Guolao.

But in any case, in terms of bloodline and seniority, this three-legged golden toad is indeed the real and undoubted ancestor of the golden toad.

So there is the recognition of the son and son, the sharing of the position of the immortal, and the golden toad that receives the fortune and treasures.

Since then, there have been two golden toads in this world, one is the three-legged golden toad, and the other is the four-legged golden toad.

There are two different choices for people to worship the golden toad.

Some families worship the three-legged golden toad, praying for a lot of wealth and good luck;

Some families worship the four-legged golden toad, hoping that the family will be prosperous and free from disasters.

Then, the treasure-collecting golden toad and his father embarked on the road to heaven. While he practiced hard to improve his own strength, he actively participated in the power struggle in heaven.

You should know that in this heaven, the position of the gods does not only symbolize the status of the individual,

it is not only that, but also closely related to the destiny that can be allocated.

So, what is destiny?

As the saying goes: "One fate, two luck, three feng shui, four accumulated virtues, and five merits".

This destiny is actually the fate that everyone is born with, which can also be called destiny.

There are all kinds of life, good or evil, and wisdom in nature. This destiny is also called root,

whether it is human, Buddha, demon, or beast, all living beings have their own roots, and this root refers to destiny.

All living beings have their own destiny.

This is just like the old saying: "If it is destined, it must be there, and if it is not destined, don't force it."

Whether it is good or bad luck, responsibility, disaster, or even the death of life, all of these are included in the predetermined destiny.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that there are as many as forty-nine destinies, which just fits the number of Tianyan.

And between heaven and earth, there are twelve destinies, plus the unique Great Saint Destiny, a total of exactly forty-nine.

Some people are destined to become immortals, and they can achieve extraordinary achievements even if they are lazy and sleepy all day long, such as Tianpeng Marshal Zhu Ganglie.

Back then, Zhu Ganglie was just an ordinary and lazy person before he became an immortal.

At that time, all he thought about every day was how to spend every day in a daze, without any ambition at all.

However, one day, by chance, he met a hidden master.

The master saw him idle and doing nothing all day, and couldn't help but feel pity and regret.

So, the master kindly advised him that if he continued to indulge himself and waste his time, he would eventually grow old and die as time passed.

Hearing this, Zhu Ganglie suddenly woke up as if he had been enlightened.
