At the beginning of the three thousand Taoist scriptures, I became a saint

Chapter 205 Incense
I don't know how long it has passed, the two phantoms of the sun and the moon gradually merged together, turning into a bright mysterious light, which was absorbed into Jiang Chen's body and fused with the golden core.

In an instant, Jiang Chen's golden elixir took shape, with eight elixir lines flowing on the surface, and a mysterious dao light bloomed.Once again, the desire to break through struck, urging Jiang Chen to go one step further and step into the realm of the fifth rank.

The intensity of this desire to break through is far beyond Jiang Chen's imagination, the golden core trembles spontaneously, the mysterious light on his body flows, rapidly changing between extreme and extreme, constantly blending with the outside world.

If it wasn't for Jiang Chen's intention to suppress it, the golden elixir would burst open immediately, allowing the soul conceived inside to be born.

"It's really at the limit."

Jiang Chen has a feeling that his accumulation has reached the limit of the sixth rank, there is no way to advance, and he can only make a breakthrough.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen looked at Jin Dan, and saw that the spirit inside was even more sacred, the power of water and fire surged under his feet, and the shadows of the sun and moon accompanied him behind him, and countless radiant brilliance enveloped him, turning him into a huge divine ring. Turn slowly.

"It's not enough, the soul still has room to continue to transform."

The golden core has reached its limit, but the spirit inside is not yet complete, Jiang Chen can feel that his spirit can continue to transform, and there is still room for improvement.Even so, he still did not choose to break through.

If you don't pass the ninth alchemy, you will never break through.

The idea of ​​breaking through this time was too strong, Jiang Chen suppressed it for a long time before he suppressed it.And as the idea of ​​breaking through subsided, he also felt the changes after passing through the alchemy.

Between the heavens and the earth, besides the aura, there are many more thoughts, filling the void, everywhere.

"Is this the idea of ​​all souls?"

"In the legend, only fifth-rank monks can sense the thoughts of all spirits?"

Thinking of the books he saw in Zangshu Pavilion, Jiang Chen knew what these thoughts were.

Everything has a spirit, such as the mountains, rivers, plants, birds, animals, fish and insects, all have their own spirituality.With a spirit, even if you are extremely ignorant, you will still have thoughts.

And most creatures don't know how to practice, and they can't restrain their own thoughts.Therefore, these thoughts will escape outward, wandering in the void.

The thoughts that Jiang Chen perceives are the thoughts of all spirits in the world.Of course, all spirits are weak, and the ideas born are also extremely fragile. Basically, they will be destroyed within a short period of time.

But how many spirits are there?
They generate thoughts all the time, even if they arise and die as they arise, the speed of the birth of thoughts is still far faster than the speed of destruction, so that a large number of messy and disorderly thoughts have accumulated in the void.

"I am now, except that my realm is still at the sixth rank, the rest is no different from a fifth rank master."

Jiang Chen felt something in his heart, knowing that he had blurred the boundary between the fifth rank and the sixth rank.

The thoughts of all things, this is the power that only the fifth-rank masters can perceive, and even the fifth-rank masters can capture and refine these thoughts, so as to improve their cultivation.

However, the efficiency of doing this is too low, and very few fifth-rank masters will do this.Because they have a more efficient method, which is to collect incense to refine the will power of all beings.

The power of incense and fire is also transformed by thoughts, but not by the thoughts of all spirits, but by the thoughts of sentient beings.

Compared with the natural spirits, the human race is the leader of all spirits, and the thoughts born are naturally stronger. They will not die with birth, but will stay in the void for a long time before dissipating.

Thoughts are originally transformed by spiritual power, and after being dissipated outside, they become ownerless and can naturally be refined by others.Therefore, some monks set up temples to collect the thoughts of all living beings and refine them to strengthen themselves.

The so-called fifth-grade masters can collect incense and wish power, which is why it was born.Because only a fifth-rank master can perceive the thoughts of all spirits and do the refining thing.

Below the fifth rank, even if the thoughts of all spirits appear in front of your eyes, you can't perceive them. How can you refine them?
"Is the incense wish power?"

"In the previous life, it was often said that incense is poisonous. However, since incense is poisonous, why don't you see all the immortals and Buddhas avoiding it, and instead set up temples, spread faith, and collect incense?"

Regarding incense, Jiang Chen didn't have much taboo, but he was a little confused. They all said that incense was poisonous, but he didn't see immortals and Buddhas avoiding it, instead they all scrambled to snatch incense.

The actions of Immortal Buddha undoubtedly showed that there should be no problem with incense. After all, an existence like Immortal Buddha would not joke about his own future.

Comparing the actions of Immortal Buddha, Jiang Chen couldn't help but suspect that the so-called saying that incense is poisonous was deliberately released by someone to prevent later people from fighting for incense.After all, incense is not unlimited, but limited.

After the thought leaves the body, it becomes a thing without an owner and is refined by a monk, so there is naturally no problem.From this point of view, practicing with incense is not a big problem.

But thinking about it from another angle, from the perspective of cause and effect, it is discovered that there is indeed a problem with incense.The reason why incense is born is because all living beings want something.When a monk takes incense and vows to refine it, it is tantamount to accepting his request.

If there is a request, it must be answered.Otherwise, the incense is not safe to hold.

The way of heaven is fair, if you take all sentient beings, you must return them.If it is not returned, there will be disasters.

Suddenly, Jiang Chen somewhat understood why orthodox gods would deliberately publicize their scope of duties.There are those who have a safe house, those who have a baby, those who are blessed, and those who are safe...

This is choosing believers!

People who want to ask for peace should go to worship the gods who can protect the peace. In this case, the gods can fulfill their vows and protect the safety of believers.

In this way, believers have something to ask, monks have something to answer, and this incense can be used with peace of mind.There will be no situation where you take your vows and don't do things.It will not be recorded by the Dao of Heaven because of this, thus giving birth to unknown disasters.

As for the believers who worshiped the wrong gods, they could only say that they were unlucky.In the temple, the responsibilities of the gods are clearly marked to prevent people from making mistakes.

In this case, you can make mistakes, so you can't blame the gods for not protecting you.

Worshiping the wrong god, besides yourself, who else can you blame?Therefore, worshiping the gods is very important.

Of course, the God of the Mountain would not care about these.As far as they are concerned, it is good to be able to become stronger, so why do they care how these incense wishes come from?

As for wishing?It all depends on the mood.

This also makes most of the mountain gods not last long, and will die in various disasters.

……

"So it seems that the way for monks to collect incense is not the way of God?"

"Immortal and Immortal, no wonder since ancient times, the word Immortal has appeared together. It turns out that the boundary between the two is not clear and can be switched at any time."

When he came back to his senses, Jiang Chen suddenly realized that the monk's act of collecting incense and vow power was actually no different from Shinto.

In other words, monks who collect incense and vows to cultivate are following the divine way, but they don't know it themselves.

Because there is no divine way in this world, only immortal way and martial way.Even those guys who call themselves gods also follow the path of martial arts.

"Fifth-rank monks refining incense and fire vows can indeed quickly improve their cultivation. But this method is useless to me."

Although the power of the incense fire is good, Jiang Chen has no intention of using it to cultivate. It's not that he thinks that the power of the incense fire has hidden dangers, but simply because the power of the incense fire is an acquired power.

Jiang Chen's cultivation has always been based on the innate energy, and if it is not necessary, he will not easily use the acquired energy.Although the power of incense and fire is good, the thoughts of sentient beings are so messy and contain all kinds of thoughts of sentient beings. It needs to be refined to remove the impurities before it can be used.

If you don't filter it first to remove the distracting thoughts of all living beings in the incense and vow power, if you absorb it directly, the monk's mind will probably be affected.Good luck is just a big change in temperament, bad luck, it is not impossible to become a lunatic directly.

The use of incense and wish power has great disadvantages, and it is far less easy to use than Xiantian Qingshen Dan.

Speaking of it, the crystallization of the heavenly demon is the same as the power of incense and fire, and it is also the result of thoughts.However, compared to the thoughts of sentient beings, the thoughts of the celestial demons in the crystal of the celestial demons are undoubtedly stronger and purer.It is directly materialized, condensed into a shape, and will not disappear with the passage of time.

The essence of the two is exactly the same, they are all formed by the thoughts of sentient beings, but the celestial demon crystals are stronger and purer than the incense and fire vows, so why does Jiang Chen use the incense and fire vows, he does not lack the celestial demon crystals.

If you can use better ones, you will naturally use better ones, and you can't wrong yourself.

However, speaking of not lacking in the crystallization of the heavenly demon, Jiang Chen suddenly discovered that he also did not lack in the power of incense and fire.

As early as many years ago, on Dongzhou, countless people built a shrine for him, praying for him day and night, and keeping him safe.

It's to bless Jiang Chen's safety, not to pray for Jiang Chen to protect them.The former is for others, the latter is for oneself, there is an essential difference.

Shengci, which was built for the living, was built spontaneously by the people for the person of great merit, in order to pray to the heaven for his safety.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen suddenly felt a movement in his heart, released his divine thoughts, and began to perceive the power of his wishes.

In the vast void, the power of vows is endless, and most of them are unowned things, flowing in the void, with birth and death.

But among the endless wishes, there is a very special one, they are golden and emit a faint light.

The rest of the thoughts will slowly dissipate with the passage of time, but they will not.On the contrary, with the passage of time, more and more golden wishes flowed in, condensed in the void, and turned into a golden river, flowing slowly.

When Jiang Chen released his divine thoughts and began to perceive the power of his wishes, the golden river immediately trembled, resonating with his spiritual thoughts.

Then, Jiang Chen saw a golden river appearing in front of his eyes, straddling the void, mighty and mighty.

"What a powerful wish..."

Feeling the intimacy from this long golden river, Jiang Chen admitted that he was shocked. Although he knew that there would be a lot of wish power in him, he didn't expect there to be so much.

Moreover, his wish power is different from others, it is golden, and the will inside is related to blessings, entrusting a kind of good wishes, extremely pure, exuding a sacred and peaceful atmosphere.

But the wishes of others are colorless, and the will inside is extremely messy, good, bad, beautiful, not beautiful... full of all kinds of thoughts, not pure at all, The whole exudes the breath of longing.

Jiang Chen knew the reason for this difference.

The power of other people's wishes is two-way. All sentient beings have something to ask, so they believe in gods and pray for their help. They are full of desires.

But Jiang Chen's wish power is one-way, it is the people's unilateral blessing to him, without asking for anything in return, only wishing him to be safe and sound, so it appears extremely pure and beautiful.

This kind of wish power, Jiang Chen can absorb it without any scruples, because it is what he deserves.

The way of heaven is fair, if Jiang Chen feeds the people, the people will naturally thank him.And these golden vows are the people's feedback to him.Since it is feedback, it can naturally be accepted with peace of mind.

If you give something, you will naturally get something. If you don’t get something, who in the world will be willing to give over time?

"If I absorb all these vows, I am afraid that I will be able to cultivate into a Yangshen immediately, or even a higher realm of dharma."

Jiang Chen had a feeling in his heart that if he refined these golden vows, he could at least reach the third-rank realm.Unfortunately, he suppressed this urge.

There are no shortcuts in cultivating the Tao, and if there is one, there must be a price.

Today, if he uses the power of these vows to cultivate to the third rank or even a higher level, it seems that he can reach the sky in one step, but it is not the case.His future will definitely be affected by it. If he wants to continue to improve his cultivation in the future, he can only continue to absorb the golden power.

But this golden vow is not so easy to obtain, it needs to do great merit.But can such an act of great merit be done so easily?
Improving the cultivation level with the golden power of vows is almost too soon, but this will limit the future development and fix the infinite possibilities on one possibility, so Jiang Chen does not take it.

"However, although I can't refine these golden wishes, it doesn't mean that these golden wishes are useless to me. On the contrary, they can become my biggest trump card."

Thinking of another method for a fifth-rank monk, Jiang Chen couldn't help but look forward to these golden vows on his body.

There are various disadvantages in cultivating with the power of incense and fire, so many monks will not take this path.But even if they don't use incense and vows to practice, these monks will collect some on their bodies.

The monks of the fifth rank can temporarily improve their own strength with the help of external forces.And the best external force is the power of incense and fire.In ancient times, the cultivator who broke out with the second-rank combat power in the fifth-rank realm borrowed the external force from the incense and fire wish power.

There are so many vows in Jiang Chen's body, as long as he absorbs them into his body, he can achieve the same feat, showing the power of the second rank with a fifth rank cultivation base.

Back in Jingguo, Qi Chu had said that if Jiang Chen entered the fifth rank, his strength would definitely be extremely strong.

This is not to say that Qi Chu had any foresight, but what he saw along the way, Jiang Chen's birth shrines were everywhere, which made him realize that Jiang Chen must have accumulated extremely terrifying power of will.

The state of manifesting the holy state can be summed up in one sentence, the more willingness, the stronger the strength.
