Chapter 382: The Body Can Die, but the Dao Cannot Be Eliminated
The end of the world is often said to be the time when all things return to one.
Returning to oneness means nothingness, which implies the end of heaven, earth and all things.
In a sense, the end of the catastrophe is the ever-expanding abyss. When the end of the catastrophe descends upon this world, the abyss will eventually devour this world, causing it to return to eternity, without birth or death.
Jiang Sheng's understanding of the three disasters and the final catastrophe is different.
Just like a sword that cuts the sky, it cuts off the spiritual inspiration of heaven and earth and eliminates all methods.
However, the word "cut off" can not only cut off life, but also cut off death.
Just like the sword mark of nothingness in front of Jiang Sheng that appeared from the division of chaos, life and death, existence and non-existence, all seemed to be contained in it.
Duobao's expression changed several times, from curiosity to solemnity and then to frowning in thought, as if he saw many mysteries in that sword mark.
Shen Wuji paid more attention to Jiang Sheng's expression. He found that Jiang Sheng's expression did not change from beginning to end. His eyes were like a deep abyss, calm and without any emotion.
Just like the sword mark that Jiang Sheng himself cut out, it contains both nothingness and existence.
"This is too profound."
"With my current insignificant cultivation, I can't even get a glimpse of the surface. What I think today is just a person sitting in a well and looking at the world."
"I think with some time, I should be able to find out the secrets and gain some insights."
Jiang Sheng's voice was as cold as ever. Duobao and Shen Wuji only saw Jiang Sheng sticking two fingers out of his sleeves and gently wiping the sword mark in front of him.
The illusory sword mark then dissipated, leaving only a few green lotuses blooming and withering in the air.
As the discussion came to an end, the relationship between the three people became slightly closer.
After all, unless they were true close friends, it would be rare for them to have such discussions.
The discussion and performance of Jiang Sheng, Duobao and Shen Wuji just now was not a group of people getting together to brag about their own heritage, show their own strength or discuss the profoundness of magic with each other.
These three people present the key to their own methods, their own ideas of practice, their insights into the laws of nature, and their feelings about the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.
Things like this, which involve one's core, would never come up in ordinary discussions.
It was only because Jiang Sheng was here, otherwise Duobao and Shen Wuji would never display their own skills.
In fact, even if a method like this is told to outsiders, and even if the tricks are broken down and unfolded, without the corresponding exercises to cooperate with and without the general outline of inheritance as the basis, it is still impossible to understand and learn it.
As for those in the Dharma Realm, the three people who are in communication with heaven and earth almost all the time have actually seen some of the weaknesses of their opponents' methods.
This is also the reason why discussions on the Dharma are usually only performed among close friends.
After all, the purpose of acting is for everyone to complement each other and make up for their own shortcomings.
In this situation, it is inevitable to reveal one's own weaknesses and defects.
If someone with ulterior motives seizes on this point, he will inevitably be defeated in the fight.
Naturally, the shortcomings of the three people's performances cannot be covered up.
For example, Shen Wuji, the flaws in his own method are obvious, his techniques are limited and restricted, and the Tianyun Sect's method of intercepting fortune and going against the trend also has drawbacks.
But this drawback cannot be solved even if other Dharma images discover it. After all, Shen Wuji himself is extremely proficient in the art of luck. Once he uses his magic, you will be in danger.
Either one is strong enough to suppress the bad luck at this time and create some distance so that his fortune can recover slowly; or one who is not strong will naturally die in this bad luck that is abandoned by the world and hated by all things.
And the stronger ones, like Jiang Sheng, don't care about their own bad luck and the opponent's good luck at all. With one sword, they directly wipe out the opponent's fortune and beat him back to his original form.
This situation is a special case.
Let’s look at Duobao again. Many people know that Duobao practices the Way of Three Seals, Six Dharmas and Nine Treasures.
With the Three Heaven Seals and the Six Paths Dharma as the foundation, open the Gate of Heaven and ascend to the Ninth Heaven.
But so what?
Facing Duobao Taoist who is in Taiyi Yuanshen realm, looking at the geniuses from all over the world in the mountains and rivers, how many of those Dharma images can confidently say that they will win?
As for Jiang Sheng, there is no need to say more. Jiang Sheng’s own Taoist philosophy is so difficult to realize even if I tell you.
Unless you can find a powerful person who is willing to break up a world for you, so that you can experience the mystery of the end of the world and the wonder of the end of all things.
Not to mention that everyone has different understandings, and each person has different ways of realizing the same truth, not to mention who is willing to bear the price of forcibly destroying a world?
The backlash of a world, even a small one, is a huge blow to one's luck and merit.
Anyone who is able to destroy the world must at least reach the level of Dharmadhatu.
This is where another difficulty lies.
Therefore, for the three of them, this discussion would not pose any threat to their respective methods.
Such candid discussions are rare nowadays.
It is extremely difficult to find a few people who are at the same level, have similar understanding, and have similar vision.
Often these people are basically the core of their own sects. People with different ideologies cannot work together. It is good enough that they don't trip you up. It is almost impossible for them to act openly and honestly.
The three of them gained a lot from this performance. Their relationships became closer and the atmosphere in the hall became much more lively.
The banquet continued, Shen Wuji frequently communicated with Jiang Sheng and Duobao, telling them what he had seen and heard from time to time. The life experience of an old man who had lived a long life, traveled to many places, and seen various scenery, and his description of the local customs and practices of various places really opened Duobao's eyes.
It is often said that an old man in the family is like a treasure. Shen Wuji has lived for so many years and has seen and heard so much. He has encountered countless crises. However, Shen Wuji's understanding of these things and his handling of crises are quite clever.
Jiang Sheng also listened to Shen Wuji's words very seriously, because Shen Wuji was not only talking about his exploration of other worlds, but also about his experiences in many areas of the nine heavens and ten earths of Panfeng Realm.
These are extremely valuable news to Jiang Sheng.
Shen Wuji, the current leader of Tianyun Sect, is a master in the Dharma Realm.
To date, Shen Wuji has lived for more than two thousand years, and is considered a senior to Jiang Sheng and Duobao.
It can be said that Shen Wuji's life experience is far richer than Jiang Sheng and Duobao, and now this veteran Dharma image is both humble and uses various customs and interesting stories to subtly bring him closer to Jiang Sheng and Duobao.
The purpose is self-evident. This old man, who is well versed in human relations, is not trying to gain anything for himself. He just wants Jiang Sheng and Duobao to give him some face and take better care of Abao in the future.
Shen Wuji's insights and opinions were not meant to boast about his own experience and vision, but to tell Jiang Sheng about some of the situations in Panfeng Realm, and indirectly ask Jiang Sheng to accept his favor.
What Shen Wuji could tell would naturally not involve any secrets, and the various holy places in the Mountain and River Realm were also aware of these situations, but Shen Wuji undoubtedly helped Jiang Sheng to supplement and verify some information indirectly.
It still helped Penglai.
I have to say that Shen Wuji is indeed a smart guy.
Considering the fact that Shen Wuji is an experienced and shrewd person, with his ability to intercept and reverse the trend, it is difficult for Shen Wuji to be caught by cultivators of the same level. Even if he is besieged by several cultivators of the same level, he is capable of escaping.
However, Shen Wuji had already borrowed the fortune of the world of Shanhe Realm to enhance his own strength, and he also used his magic to borrow strength from Jiang Sheng and Duobao.
This loan made Shen Wuji understand for the first time what it meant to be a man of destiny and a son of luck. Such great fortune and blessings far exceeded Shen Wuji's own.
Borrowing luck that is several times greater than one's own is a big taboo in itself. In addition, Shen Wuji's own cultivation is still a little lacking, and he cannot suppress this luck in his body. Naturally, Shen Wuji lost his head.
This was also the reason why Shen Wuji was so desperate to attack Jiang Sheng and Duobao. If he didn't reduce his own good luck, he would really lose his mind.
But with this move, Jiang Sheng seized the opportunity and used a sword to beat Shen Wuji back to his original form.
To some extent, this defeat can be attributed to fate.
Shen Wuji admitted it himself, but he could not let his own Taoist lineage disappear.
The death of the body is not scary, but the disappearance of the Tao is unbearable.
In the chaotic universe, there are as many cultivators as the sands of the Ganges, and as many countless stars as billions, it is difficult to include them all.
Most of these monks can accept their own death and their own destiny.
If one could glimpse the great way and then die, I wonder how many people would be willing to die calmly.
But not many people would accept the fate of their Taoist tradition disappearing once they die.
Death is not scary.
The Taoist tradition passed down from generation to generation carries the thoughts and ideas of generation after generation of monks, and carries the spirit of those people.
As long as the tradition and the orthodoxy remain, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Because of their experiences, their names are still being passed down within the sect, and there is still evidence of their existence between heaven and earth.
Therefore, Shen Wuji was not afraid of death, but was afraid that the Tianyun Sect’s Taoist tradition would no longer exist and its inheritance would be cut off.
If this is true, not only will no one know about Shen Wuji's experience in the future, but the incense of the successive masters of Tianyun Sect will also be cut off.
This is why Shen Wuji would be so humble. He could die, but Abao must live and carry forward the Tianyun Sect while he is alive. He must not cut off the incense of successive leaders and must not let the world forget the existence of the Tianyun Sect.
When the immortal banquet was over, Shen Wuji bowed to Jiang Sheng and Duobao, then walked out of the hall with a calm smile to meet his own destiny.
Jiang Sheng looked at Duobao: "What do you think of Fellow Daoist Shen?"
Duobao pondered: "At first, I thought this old guy didn't have any good intentions. He is old and cunning, and his thoughts are almost all used for evil purposes."
"But later on, I began to recognize him a little bit."
"What happened in the end?" Jiang Sheng asked.
Duobao sighed: "I admire him a little bit. He is a good leader who has done so much for his family's inheritance."
"Speaking of which, Lingyuan, you may not know that I, Duobao, am also an orphan. I have been helpless since childhood and have come this far step by step. Even my inheritance was picked up by someone who fell into the sea inexplicably."
"I have never experienced what human relations and family affection are, but today, seeing how old man Shen treated you and me, I seemed to feel it."
"How pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are."
Jiang Sheng nodded: "The thoughts of parents in this world can indeed be described as pitiful."
"It's true that Fellow Daoist Shen has put so much thought into you and me, but I have to accept this kindness."
Duobao looked at Jiang Sheng: "Lingyuan, how are you going to deal with that kid named Abao?"
Jiang Sheng did not hesitate: "Let him grow up safely in this little Penglai. When he grows up and has learned something, give him a piece of land and let him inherit the Taoist tradition of Taoist friend Shen." (End of this chapter)
