Chapter 990 Anchor

"Yes, the power of faith is indeed indispensable only for cultivators who pursue the pinnacle of the great way."

Jiuxi Divine Lord raised his hand, but there was no arm under the wide sleeves of his robe, nor was there any energy fluctuation, as if an invisible arm was supporting the sleeves.

Shao Haoyue's heart tightened when he saw this, but Jiuqi didn't care at all, "For us cultivators, cultivation is a process of eliminating the false and retaining the true, and getting closer to the great way.

The closer you are to the Great Dao, the stronger your cultivation will be. When you reach the pinnacle and merge with the Great Dao and become the Great Dao itself, you will become a god. "

Shao Haoyue felt heavy-hearted when hearing this. This was no secret among the superior forces of the Taoist tradition.

Even these younger generations knew early on what the end of the road was.

For cultivators in the lower realms, the ultimate goal of their practice is to ascend to the upper realms, while for the immortals in the Nine-Layered Star Palace, the goal of their practice is to become gods and gain true immortality.

The so-called God is omnipresent and omnipotent. Everything is Him, and nothing is Him.

Over billions of years, there have been very few people who have reached the Dao Ancestor realm, but there are some.

However, after these ancestors assimilated with the Tao, they were able to send down oracles at first, but soon there was no response at all.

Even the objects they left behind will gradually lose their aura.

'Becoming a god can lead to immortality,' has thus raised a question mark. No one can tell whether the end of the great road is immortality or complete annihilation.

Jiuxi Divine Lord saw her worry and said with a smile: "It is true that they became gods. Those ancestors just lost themselves in the great way."

"Are you sure it's true?" Shao Haoyue expressed doubt, "Even as powerful as Goddess Ye Nian, who is also the daughter of destiny, didn't she fail in the end?"

If Goddess Ye Nian really became a god, then as her realm becomes more stable, the seal she set should be more solid. How could the Demon Emperor escape?

Jiuqi sighed softly, "This is why the power of faith is needed."

There was a thin mist in the mountains, which became thicker and thicker. Suddenly, a light breeze seemed to blow, and the mist dissipated, revealing a completely different world.

The vast sea was boundless, with howling winds and huge waves that threw small boats high up in the air. When they fell back down, the small boats were torn to pieces by the waves.

Among the small boats that drift with the current and have no control over their fate, some are steady and remain as steady as if they were walking on flat ground no matter how rough the waves are around them.

"The road is like the sea, and we cultivators are these small boats." As he spoke, Jiuxi Divine Lord gently raised his hand, and Shao Haoyue saw tiny fireflies appearing under the sea, as vast as the starry sky.

Looking closely, each of these fireflies has a transparent silk thread, and the steadily moving boats are connected by countless silk threads that stabilize the boats from all directions.

“The power of faith is like these invisible threads, which can help us anchor our cognition and avoid getting lost in the great road.

Whether it is an immortal with profound cultivation or a mortal being bound by birth, aging, sickness and death, they can only provide an anchor. "

Shao Haoyue suddenly realized that although the creatures in the mortal world are weak, their numbers are vast and they can provide the most anchors.

In an instant, she figured out a lot of things. "So you said that the Saint who succeeded Goddess Ye Nian was the smartest one."

Jiuxi Divine Master nodded: "At that time, our four families and four clans had not yet comprehended the mystery of the power of faith, but Saint Xihe had already understood this point, and retreated to advance, giving up the right to rule Xingque, and thus controlling all the living beings in the mortal world. If we can build statues of the goddess Ye Nian in the mortal world, spread the tradition of the goddess, gather the faith of thousands of living beings, and consolidate the understanding of the goddess, I believe that the goddess will still exist now, and the seal will still be firm.

With the goddess's blessing, it would not be difficult for the Goddess Palace to return to the top of the Star Palace.

Unfortunately, Saint Xihe died too suddenly, and her successor was eager for power and only wanted to regain the position of leader of the Immortal Alliance. He looked down on the incense of the mortal world and even disdained to let mortals know about the Goddess Palace. "

Shao Haoyue felt sad when he heard this, and felt a bit sorry for his fellow creatures: "Master, the immortals of our Nine-Layered Star Palace back then should have been the anchors of the goddess.

Goddess Ye Nian sealed the Demon Emperor with herself, and our four families and four clans, as her subordinates, suppressed her Taoist palace, diluted her influence, made the world forget her, and destroyed her anchor.

We released the Demon King ourselves."

When he spoke the latter part, Shao Haoyue's voice was a little trembling, with sadness and fear.

Jiuxi Divine Lord was silent for a long time, and then he said softly: "Yes, our immortal race is the culprit."

After a long time, he patted Shao Haoyue on the shoulder and said, “Don’t be afraid, you are different from her, you are a phoenix, and you are born with many anchors.

We, the Phoenix Clan, are the most united, and all of our clansmen will be your most steadfast anchor."

Shao Haoyue suddenly recalled that after the situation stabilized, the first time he made his official appearance in public as Feng Shiqi was at an exchange meeting between the Four Spirits Academy and the Tiandao Academy.

At that exchange meeting, she broke the strings of her zither and injured Shen Canghao's face. The teacher who hosted the exchange meeting was a member of the Shen family, and he spoke to her in a sarcastic manner, but she did not hear it at the time. She was immersed in her own embarrassment.

Later, the master went to the Shen family in person and slapped Master Shen to death in front of the head of the Shen family, on the grounds that he was disrespectful to the princess of the Phoenix clan.

Later, Lord Shi Yan stepped in and asked Master Shen's family to go to Yuecheng in person to apologize to her, and the matter was settled.

It was also from this incident that the rumors spread in Xingque that the master loved her very much. When everyone faced her, they would take into account her extremely protective master, and would inevitably be restrained when facing her.

He is just an unknown teacher of the Shen family. As long as the Phoenix clan shows any sign of disapproval, the Shen family will punish him to make amends to themselves.

But the master went there in person, and beat Master Shen to death without mercy in front of the head of the Shen family.

  This is telling the Shen family and everyone that his apprentice will never be allowed to be offended by anyone!

Later, in front of others, the master would never veto her decision, no matter how absurd the decision was. As long as it was made by her, he would never interfere. He would only educate her in private.

So as early as that time, the master was helping her to establish her prestige.

God should not be offended.

Jiuxi Divine Lord didn't notice that her thoughts had drifted away, and continued: "Although each living being can only provide one anchor, there are differences between anchors. The closer the relationship, the more the anchor provided can help stabilize cognition..."

Shao Haoyue suddenly raised his head and interrupted in astonishment: "So, you saved Huahua because of this?"

"if not?"

The three words "light as the wind blows" are like a sharp knife or a huge rock, piercing my heart and pressing on my chest.

She was suddenly glad that Mu Yan did not come back with her, otherwise she would have been so sad to hear these three words.
