The peerless black hand that covers the sky

Chapter 973 Sir, times have changed!
The master of the Four Poles of Floating Soil in the Ancestral Temple era spoke eloquently that his progress was very good and his results were very gratifying, and the day when the fruits would mature was not far away.

"Is it really enough?" An Immortal Emperor was puzzled. "The four extreme floating soils of the previous generation have been deposited in the human world for countless years before they bloomed with extreme brilliance."

"Fellow Daoist, are you sure that the current Four Extremes Floating Earth can challenge the predecessors?"

The emperors were very concerned.

Both the burial pit and the soul river gave them enough shock. The Immortal Emperor standing in them took an extraordinary path, different from the original founder, and gave people hope of overthrowing the founder.

If the Siji Futu fails, there will inevitably be some disappointment and regret.

"Calculating the time and the number, I'm afraid it's far from enough. Fellow Daoist, don't try to be brave."

Someone sighed.

The original four-pole floating soil has existed almost throughout the entire history of the strange tribe. It appeared shortly after the birth of the ancestor and became an outpost under the plateau.

In it, an eternal flame burned, burning the heroes who died in battles in heaven and earth after too many great sacrifices, from the monks who had just started their spiritual practice to the Immortal Emperor who never forgot that his dream must have a response, after experiencing the struggle between the Heavenly Emperor's burial pit and the ancient underworld, almost all of them were stuffed into the ultimate crematorium of the Four Pole Floating Earth.

All this is just for processing and burning out the relics!

This has always been something that only great Buddhist monks can burn out, and it is the proof of this Taoist tradition - when ordinary people, or even ordinary monks, die, what is burned out are "ashes", but for great Buddhist monks, what is burned out are relics!

However, in the hands of an ancient overlord, common sense was broken, and he made "all living beings Buddhas"!
Since they are all "Buddhas", the refining of relics is natural and reasonable. They contain the spiritual achievements and all the fruits of the Tao of that life, and can naturally resonate with the previous life and the next life, and achieve infinite magical powers!

The souls of all living beings wander in the cycle of reincarnation and wander in the human world.

Their bodies from different lifetimes were all burned in the floating earth and turned into relics, which contained the spiritual fruits and magical powers of that lifetime.

Countless grand sacrifices mean countless calamities, spanning countless years… Those living beings will passively cultivate magical powers for countless calamities, like unlucky people who signed a loan shark contract without knowing it, and in the end everything will be a wedding dress, and a Buddha who has achieved enlightenment and “saves all living beings” will appear in the world!

It can be said that this is a method of sacrifice that requires the most accumulation of experience, and theoretically requires countless years of accumulation.

Even though the ancestral temple now controls the entire world and can do whatever it wants, ordering all living beings to be cremated... however, the emperors are not very optimistic.

"Normally, the accumulation of this path is slow and difficult..." The master of Fu Tu nodded, acknowledging the judgment of many of his fellow practitioners, but he emphasized the word "normally".

Instantly, the perceptive Immortal Emperor had an epiphany - Normal? That meant their fellow Taoist was abnormal and did not follow the usual path!
"The fellow Daoists in the Burial Pit and Soul River are so outstanding. They have all found new ways to evolve the Netherworld and refine the Nine Springs. How can I be willing to fall behind them?"

The Lord of Floating Earth smiled, "Naturally, I have also opened up a new path based on the ideas of that overlord, making up for the problems that required countless years of accumulation!"

As he whispered, an indescribable aura emerged from the human world and connected with this Immortal Emperor. In an instant, it made him extremely majestic and caused all the emperors to change color.

They looked towards the worlds, and in a trance saw an endless ocean of mental power, filling countless time and space, resonating with the master of the floating earth, allowing his every move to be like a devastating force, able to sweep across the world and overturn all rules and order and start over again!
Instead, there is a boundless pure land that covers all the worlds and seems to create a Buddhist kingdom on earth.

However, before the Pure Land was established and the Buddhist Kingdom was completed, it collapsed, causing the Lord of Floating Earth's body to shake and his aura to collapse. He fell from the highest and most powerful state and returned to the Immortal Emperor.

Even so, the emperors were frightened enough - in front of the Lord of Floating Earth at that moment, they felt like ants that could be killed in the snap of a finger!

Fortunately, at the critical moment, a figure stepped through the sky, with an urn on his head, standing in the hall, sealing the seemingly uncontrollable power of the Lord of Floating Earth and dissolving his unparalleled divine power.

——The Great Freedom Immortal Emperor!

It was he who came to avert possible disasters for the emperors.

The Great Freedom Immortal Emperor stared at the Lord of Floating Earth with deep eyes, and there were stars in his pupils, as if he was examining something.

But in the end, he said nothing and just stood there.

Without waiting for the emperors to react, the master of the floating soil spoke up. He sighed softly, "As you can see, I have made up for the problem of time accumulation. In just tens of millions of years, I will catch up with the trillions of years of accumulation of the Mahayana Mountain King Buddha."

"However, I have run into another problem and am facing a severe test, a natural obstacle that cannot be solved by hard work. I need a breakthrough in thinking..."

He said, calmly telling the emperors how he broke through the limitations of time, transcended common sense, and accumulated efficiency far surpassing that of the overlord of that year.

"The Buddha sees eighty-four thousand lives in a drop of water."

The Lord of Floating Earth said, "That person's body is like a house, with countless living beings living inside..."

"It is often said that the human body is a small universe, and the universe is a large human body... There are Buddhas and sentient beings in the universe, and so is the human body."

He told the emperors where his shortcut was and how he found a different way.

He knew very well that in terms of the passage of time, he could never catch up with the original four-pole floating soil. If he really caught up, the opportunity would be gone.

But... as long as you dare to think, there are always more ways than difficulties!
Faced with time difficulties, he chose to tap the potential of all living beings and burn relics more efficiently.

At the beginning, he chose a breakthrough in quality, wanting to make the second-generation Fu Tu's relics better than the first-generation Fu Tu's relics, and one would be better than six.

It's not impossible!
Because the human body has enormous potential, like the law of bloodline is being interpreted, countless generations of ancestors are living in the bodies of their descendants!

So many generations of ancestors are the accumulation of countless years. If they are stimulated a little bit when burning the relics, the quality of the corpses can be improved by leaps and bounds. Then, would you still be afraid that one of the burned relics would not be better than six?

However, this is not easy. The Lord of Floating Earth has tried many times and although he has achieved some results, once he leaves the laboratory, he will go bankrupt and suffer heavy losses.

"The law of bloodline, after all, favors the living. Once dead, it loses its vitality, and it is very difficult to dig it out again. Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!"

In the past years, the owner of the floating soil sighed, and then pulled himself together, "However, this is also a breakthrough..."

He changed his mind, moving away from the bloodline, but not completely away from it.

Because the source of blood is a miracle of nature, which can often be traced back to the very beginning of the world. It is a combination of various substances that became life by chance and was passed down and reproduced!

There is no such thing as bloodline in this world. It is the miracle of nature that evolves bloodline that can be inherited bit by bit!

All living beings are the carriers of such miracles.

However, the miracles of nature are more than just the sentient beings visible to the naked eye.
“The essence of life is a hodgepodge!”

The Lord of Floating Earth narrated, "Every living being is actually a great prosperity of life!"

"Even many monks who have only embarked on the path of cultivation for a short time understand that in the subtle parts of the human body, there are countless tiny life forms. They have no spirits or souls, but are just operating according to the established order of rules..." He whispered, and there was infinite emotion in his voice, which was the emotion of life and the wonder of nature.

"Bury a corpse in the wilderness, and its body will decay by itself; if a living person is sick, the cause of the disease is within…"

The Lord of Floating Earth said, "Because even in a small area, as long as it is not too extreme, there will be thousands of 'insects' breeding."

"Even a drop of water, if not purified by magic power, cannot transcend the mundane world and can become pregnant with tiny insects."

"I have watched mortals."

"If that mortal is taken as a body, one person is one person."

"But if we explore it in depth, break it down into pieces, and consider even the smallest 'worm' as an independent life... then, even if we use the most common human race as a sample, we can get 400 to 500 trillion people..."

"This is such a vast world, there is so much to do!"

The Lord of Floating Earth laughed and said, "Once I understand this principle, the accumulation of numbers doesn't seem to be a big problem!"

Indeed, the four poles of floating earth created by the Mahayana Mountain King Buddha back then have accumulated billions of years and have a profound foundation.

but!

If I can run at an efficiency that is four or five trillion times higher, then what would you, the Mahayana Mountain King Buddha, be to me?
Sir, times have changed!
The so-called human body is a small universe, the universe is a big human body, and in the era of the ancestral temple, we must run into the era of the human body universe. The life in the human body universe is also life, and can also burn relics!
Upon hearing this, the Immortal Emperors remained silent for a long time.

Their expressions were very interesting and subtle. They seemed to be hesitant to speak, and yet they were still speaking. It was very strange.

Then, they collectively looked at all living beings in the world, their eyes as sharp as knives, penetrating deep into their bodies.

A moment passed and they nodded.

Yeah, no problem.

Although it is very abstract.

"No, there is still a problem..."

Suddenly, an Immortal Emperor spoke up, with a sincere heart seeking the truth, "The ancient overlord who created the Four Extremes Floating Earth, he saved all living beings, reincarnation is the key, and the soul is the root."

"Only the soul that has been reincarnated continuously, the resonance that transcends time, and the gathering of infinite magical power, can make him incredibly powerful...not just the burning of corpses."

"As for the worms in the bodies of living beings, even if you force them to be classified as living things, they have no souls, so how can they reincarnate?"

He pointed out a key point.

The soul is the key!
Without a soul, your life will end!

"Yes, the soul is a big problem..." The Lord of Floating Earth sighed, "So I said that the accumulation is enough, but there is still a natural barrier ahead, that's why."

"For this reason, I have done various explorations to verify the difference between soulful life and soulless insects... They are both a type of life, so why can one carry a soul and the other not?"

He smiled, his smile was pure and simple, yet chilling.

It is conceivable that behind these explorations lies endless bloodshed.

On the experimental table, an Immortal Emperor swung his knife coldly, cutting countless races and countless lives, dissecting them in depth. What exactly are the differences that make the possession of the soul so different and limited?
"Finally, I came to a rough conclusion... The strength of life is largely related to the soul. It affects whether one can become a carrier of the soul and whether one can carry the pure spiritual seed that is reincarnated from reincarnation..."

The Lord of Floating Earth said.

"Life force..." The emperors chewed on this word, and disappointment gradually appeared on their faces. "In this case, isn't the road ahead cut off or dead end?"

The reason is very simple.

Even if the countless tiny bugs in the human body are regarded as life, their lack of strength means that they can never have a soul... and without a soul, how can we talk about reincarnation, how can we talk about the accumulation of past lives?
"There is always a way out."

The Lord of Floating Earth shook his head. He was still calm and confident. "The road is made by people. To talk about severance and annihilation is to blaspheme one's own Tao heart!"

Hearing this, the emperors were shocked and felt a little ashamed.

Yes!

The road is made by people!
When did they become so impetuous and easily discouraged?
'Perhaps, this is the difference between us and those overlords and emperors...'

'Sacrifice to the Heavenly Emperor, fight hard in the desperate situation of life and death, live in the face of death, even if there is a dead end ahead, you must fight your way out.'

'As for those overlords... they are extremely evil, with sores on their heads and pus on their feet. They are full of evil deeds, but their persistence in the Great Dao and their determination to break through the Dao Heart to the realm above the Immortal Emperor by any means possible have shocked everyone...'

It is these existences, either of great good or great evil, that split open the obstacles in front of the Immortal Emperor realm and carved out paths one after another!

These paths allow many Immortal Emperors to learn from, imitate, and even follow them.

However, the Immortal Emperors who are also followers are also different!
Some people got the reference answers and could only copy them exactly as they were.

However, some people, looking at the reference answers, are trying to apply what they have learned to other situations!

The former’s achievements will only be so-so in their lifetime…and the latter, although they may not be as good as those people who created their own answers when they first faced difficult problems, have a glimmer of hope to catch up!

Just like...Taozu!
Daozu is a quasi-immortal emperor, but a quasi-immortal emperor cannot be honored as Daozu.

What is a Dao Ancestor? He is the founder of an evolutionary path, a cultivation system, and... a path pioneer!

Today, in the field of sacrificial Taoism, there are founders who have come forward and left their reference answers to inspire those who come after them.

Then why can't there be pioneers who can open up more scenery along the way they walk?

The new master of the Four Poles Floating Soil is such a pioneer!

Based on the foundation laid by his predecessors, he opened up a shortcut and faced countless difficulties with the determination to overcome them!
"...Since the trillions of 'worms' in the human body are not strong enough to carry the spiritual seeds and soul spirits of reincarnation..."

The Lord of Floating Earth smiled, "Then why not consider... weakening the strength of the True Spirits? Make them extremely weak, almost non-existent!"
