From the power of space to the heavens 2

Chapter 1151. On the Essence of Tao

Discussing Tao.

It is a matter that can be said to be serious but also not serious.

In essence, discussing the Tao means that both parties successively explain their views on the Tao, and then listen to each other's ideas, gain new perspectives or inspiration from them, and then give birth to new ideas, or share these new ideas, or try to put them into practice.

And things like ideas.

Or rather, something like inspiration.

It is uncontrollable.

A person may be thinking about his grand ambition to unify the world in the last second, and in the next second, he may think of the beauty after unifying the world. Then, in the next second, he may think of his sweetheart from his youth from the word "beauty", and then have other thoughts, or even negative emotions.

Although for Lu Yuan.

For the Emperor of Heaven.

For most Earth Supremes and those practitioners above the Earth Supreme.

It's very simple to control your thoughts.

It can be said to be a basic operation.

But this act of controlling thoughts is naturally contrary to the essence of Taoism.

After all, the purpose of discussing the Tao is to generate inspiration.

The emergence of inspiration is bound to be accidental.

Controlling thoughts is equivalent to building a high wall in your mind. The essence is that the drifting and fleeting inspiration will be completely isolated, and there will be no gain after the discussion is over.

So, under this premise.

Isn’t the time spent on discussing the Dao a waste?

Therefore, I want to discuss the Tao.

more specifically.

I want to complete a formal discussion.

Three objective conditions must be met.

The first condition is the amount of knowledge reserves. The amount of knowledge determines how much of the other person's ideas you can understand in the following debate, and also determines how much of the other person's ideas you can understand in the following debate. It is like one of the two people in the debate is a high school student and the other is an elementary school student. The knowledge that the elementary school student talks about is nothing more than the basics to the high school student, but the knowledge that the high school student talks about is completely incomprehensible to the elementary school student.

So, back to reality.

There is basically no possibility of discussing the Dao between a normal Earth Supreme and a normal Heaven Supreme. A question casually thrown out by the Heaven Supreme can make the Earth Supreme confused, while a difficult problem thrown out by the Earth Supreme can be quickly solved by the Heaven Supreme. Even if it cannot be solved quickly, since the Heaven Supreme has gone through this stage, he can find similar experiences. It is equivalent to two different questions but can be solved with one formula and recalculated.

Therefore, in a sense, knowledge is of the utmost importance. Even if we take different paths, it is still possible to find common ground in certain places. There are thousands of roads, but they all lead to the same destination. There are always some common grounds. However, the amount of knowledge and whether one can understand it have nothing to do with the common grounds. It is purely a matter of knowledge reserves.

The second condition is the same main line, that is, the same road mentioned above. For example, if two people discussing Taoism, one studies literature and the other studies science, obviously, they will not be able to talk to each other. You are analyzing whether something is worth it from an emotional perspective, while I am analyzing whether something is worth it from a rational perspective.

Imagine replaying a war.

In my eyes, who tends to be rational, your sensibility is weakness and incompetence. You hesitate to make decisions and suffer from the chaos. You may even turn back for the soldiers who are trapped, resulting in the death of more soldiers. But you are complacent and claim that you will not abandon any soldier and love your soldiers like your own sons. In fact, not only did you fail to reduce the losses, but you lost more chances of winning. It is not worth the loss.

In your eyes, who tends to be more emotional, my rationality is to treat my soldiers like dogs and horses, completely ignoring the issues of military spirit and morale. After all, rationally, I will always pursue a higher winning rate. In order to win, sometimes, I can even abandon my own dragon to ensure that the opponent eats it, thereby distributing my energy and providing myself with room for operation and seizing the opportunity to turn the tables.

But humans are not machines.

Everyone is flesh and blood.

There are also emotions.

This kind of completely cold-blooded calculation from top to bottom will only make the soldiers resist, because no one knows whether they will be abandoned in the next second. Therefore, this completely rational plan will shake the morale of the army and reduce the chance of winning. What's more, the chance of winning is inherently uncertain, otherwise there would not be the story of Xiang Yu burning his boats and breaking his cauldrons. From any angle, Xiang Yu's chance of winning at that time was less than 10%, at least not 10% by force. But Xiang Yu relied on his own martial art and personal charm, plus a group of fearless soldiers, to capture the city. Miracles like this are not uncommon in the history of military strategists.

In other words, it's not just military strategists.

All known schools and faiths.

There is no lack of miracles.

Human will can even overcome instinct.

This is undeniable.

Even if it's very rare.

Therefore, the similarity of the main line is very important. Not everyone can talk to the same person. But then again, although the difference in the main line means that there is basically no possibility of discussing, from the above-mentioned war discussion example, it is not completely without common ground. The common ground is that both sides want to win and do not want to die. The emotional side wants to focus on military spirit and morale to turn the tide, while the rational side wants to focus on the overall situation and expand the advantage to the point where even if the morale of the opponent is full, one soldier can drag three or four soldiers on his side to death, and they can still win the war. Therefore, the goal of both sides is to win. If we start from this point, we have to admit that there is a small probability that they can talk to each other.

The third condition is to open your heart and not control your thoughts. After all, the sparks of wisdom are always produced through friction in collision. Just like two stones, a simple collision will definitely not produce sparks, but if one of them is flint, there is a certain probability of producing sparks. If both are flint, the sparks produced by friction will undoubtedly be more dazzling.

The same is true for knowledge.

Maybe I have an idea for the problem you can't figure out.

I have a question that I don't understand, maybe you have an idea.

In the vast world, I don't know how much common sense spread to the cultivation world, all of which were established by the supplement of you, me and him. For example, the rating of formations, what kind of formation can be called a first-grade spiritual formation, what kind of formation can be called a second-grade spiritual formation, how to distinguish between a first-grade spiritual formation and a second-grade spiritual formation, if the effect of a first-grade spiritual formation exceeds that of a second-grade spiritual formation, which one is the second-grade spiritual formation? These were all discussed by one formation grandmaster after another. So, although the evaluation that every formation grandmaster is a thesis master is a bit wrong, after all, not every formation grandmaster can write a thesis or write about his own experience, but their ideas and innovations are worthy of other formation grandmasters' listening and thinking. In other words, it is equivalent to a press conference. Only with the recognition of other formation grandmasters can one join this ranks. It doesn't mean that if my realm reaches the Supreme Heaven, I can be called a formation grandmaster and enjoy top treatment.

of course.

In the aspect of formation.

Many people also considered that the newcomer might be a dull person.

So, besides talking about it.

There is another way.

That is to take action and invite others to come and watch the ceremony.

After all, they are all grandmasters of formations. Even if they don't open a school or have any confidantes, creating a good living environment for themselves is a very suitable reason. It is also a reasonable reason to build a formation of the supreme level by themselves while creating the living environment. This is also the appearance that a grandmaster of formations should have. Moreover, there is no need to worry about wasting resources. They are all built for their own use anyway. Even if a lot of resources are spent, they will live in it themselves later and it will not be cheap for others. Therefore, even if they can't speak, as long as they have enough hands-on ability, it will be fine.

In short, including these unspoken rules, they were all explored through negotiation.

And this negotiation process.

Strictly speaking, it is a discussion of Tao.

Therefore, this is the origin of the first half of the sentence. It is really serious to say the least, because most of the important achievements in the universe are obtained through discussions on the Dao, including the strength of each supreme dharma body and the difference between the original supreme dharma body and other supreme dharma bodies. To put it more bluntly, if it were not for the selfless sharing of those strong ones among the Nine Emperors who possessed the original supreme dharma bodies, even those who possessed the original supreme dharma bodies would not know the difference between the two levels of supreme dharma bodies.

Take the Immortal Emperor for example.

Regardless of the Tao.

Although he does have other methods of practicing the Supreme Dharmakāya, it is very easy for a strong man of his level to obtain them.

But there are also gaps between these supreme Dharma bodies.

Some push the limits.

Some advocate balance.

Some advocate evolution on their own side.

Some advocate the Dharmakaya, which is a body that is in harmony with the Tao.

It can be said that each school has its own. For the Immortal Emperor, he can see the difference between his own eternal immortal body and these supreme Dharma bodies, but he only regards this difference as the result of the different levels of the creators. After all, he is also a strong man who is half a step away from the realm of domination. With a bird's-eye view, it is like a high school student watching elementary school students doing addition and subtraction.

It's normal to look awkward.

However, wait until the Immortal Emperor discusses the Dao.

The style of painting becomes quite strange: I thought I was the only one like this, but I didn't expect you to be like this too, and I didn't expect him to be like this too. Then I looked for other people and found that some were like this and some were not. At this time, when the number increased, you can look for patterns, and when you look for patterns, you will immediately find the difference between the two supreme dharma bodies. Some of the rare supreme dharma bodies point directly to the essence of heaven and earth, and each represents a certain path. For example, the form of the fallen god in the form of a sky fox represents the avenue of desire headed by the fallen god and the avenue of love headed by the sky fox. Putting these two avenues together is the spiritual path. As for branches, the avenue of desire can be classified as the original sin sequence path, and the avenue of love can be classified as the goodness sequence path. The fusion of the two is the spiritual path in the neutral sequence, and the vast majority of the remaining supreme dharma bodies do not have high intentions, at least not as high as the above intentions.

Therefore, the levels of the Supreme Dharmakaya were divided.

The ten original supreme dharmakayas.

Plus hundreds of Dharmakayas on the Dharmakaya List.

This is called the Dharmakaya that has entered the stream.

The lowest level is also the Supreme on Earth.

Then, there are those mediocre Dharma bodies, that is, the Dharma bodies created by some supreme beings. Of course, the ranking of the supreme Dharma bodies will change, just like Xiao Yan forcibly pushed his Flame Emperor Dharma body to the top 50 of the Dharma body list. Before, when he fought with the Maha ancient clan, he even forcibly raised his Flame Emperor Dharma body above the Maha ancient clan's Maha Wuliang body, thereby obtaining a new ranking.

Therefore, those who are not up to standard are not necessarily weak.

It all depends on the strength of the founder and practitioner.

If you are in the Domination Realm.

Even if your Dharma body is nameless.

It can also be ranked among the ten original supreme Dharma bodies.

Even above it.

Maybe you can even get a nickname of Nameless Dharmakāya.

In short, strength determines everything.

These things were gradually formed through discussions between different practitioners and other practitioners, and then continued to spread, gaining the recognition of most people, and finally completely exploded, sweeping the world and becoming a new common sense.

Therefore, it can be said.

Every word said during the discussion.

It could potentially affect hundreds of millions or billions of people.

It is normal for some important achievements to affect trillions of people.

Seriousness is naturally one of the main themes.

But the other way around.

If you really have this kind of thinking and attitude.

I discuss the Dao with this kind of pressure.

It is unlikely that any results will actually be achieved.

Because these pressures are inherently equivalent to blocking your mind, making you subconsciously consider this aspect when thinking about certain issues.

Fortunately, whether it is Lu Yuan or the Emperor of Heaven.

This is not the first time we have discussed the Dao.

Lu Yuan mostly discussed Taoism with Qing Yanjing.

The battle record of the Emperor of Heaven is much more magnificent.

He had dealt with the Immortal Emperor, the Nine Tribulations War Emperor, the Heart Demon Thunder Emperor, the Qingqiu Clan, and the Tailing Ancient Clan. After all, in today's world, there has always been a saying that either a fox or a Luo, which means that in terms of the ranking of women's appearance, they are either from the fox clan or the Luoshen. The fox clan had separated long ago, but their natural charm still made all humans in the world have to admit their beauty, including the other ten thousand races, who also had to admit the beauty of the fox clan. The latter, of course, was the Luoshen of the human race. These two ceilings, one takes the aloof route, the other takes the pure desire route. At the level of the Heavenly Emperor, it is too normal for him to have dealt with the fox clan that advocates marriage. The Great Thousand Worlds has had statistics before. Among the more than 30,000 known Heavenly Supremes, more than 17,000 Heavenly Supremes have relationships with the fox clan, either deep or shallow. In a more detailed classification, among the more than 3,000 Saint-level Heavenly Supremes, more than 500 have relationships with the fox clan. The Heavenly Emperor, as one of the Nine Emperors and also the top powerhouse in the Great Thousand Worlds, just has some relationship, which is indeed very normal.

And the friendship with the ancient Tailing tribe.

This is because the Emperor of Heaven and a female elder of the ancient Tailing clan once fought side by side, similar to Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian in the original novel of Fights Break Sphere.

As for why not fight for it.

Firstly, both parties have to carefully consider this relationship, and secondly, both parties have long lifespans. Even if it takes tens of thousands of years, it is only equivalent to one percent of their lives.

The lifespan of any Heavenly Supreme Being starts at a million years.

The Emperor of Heaven is not even ten thousand years old now.

It is understandable that you are not in a hurry.
