The Lord of Heaven asked

Chapter 253 Disadvantages of Dao Seed Method
Although the Red Dragon was unwilling, his cultivation had already been sealed by the True Dragon, so he had to start over according to the True Dragon's requirements.

Ye Xiu did not interfere with the Red Dragon's restoration. These days he discussed Taoism with Willow God.

As the most powerful Immortal King in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths of the Ancient Immortal Era, God Liu has mastered a very complete method of ancient immortal cultivation.

Willow God has dabbled in all kinds of secret techniques and immortal scriptures. Ye Xiu shamelessly asked Willow God for the Ten Evil Techniques and the Heavenly Skills she possessed.

Ye Xiu was knowledgeable. Today, in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, perhaps only the Lord of the Forbidden Zone could be compared with Willow God. However, last time in the Forbidden Zone, Ye Xiu also discussed the law with the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, and obtained the Chaos Heavenly Art, the Dragon-Striving Heavenly Art, and the Immortal-Slaying Art from him.

"Why are you interested in the ancient immortal laws?"

On this day, the True Dragon couldn't help but ask. During this period of time, Ye Xiu had been discussing the ancient immortal cultivation methods with the True Dragon Liu Shen.

"Different emphasis!" Ye Xiu said.

The ancient immortal cultivation method places too much emphasis on relying on external forces, just like the branches and buds of a big tree, which are extremely prosperous but ignore the foundation and trunk.

Because of the Tao seed, the ancient immortal practice method focused on the Tao carrying people, rather than people controlling the Tao.

For example, the geniuses who have integrated the Yin and Yang species, they focus on following the way of Yin and Yang, and the techniques they practice are also the explanation and use of Yin and Yang.

This kind of deliberate pursuit of a single Tao using oneself as a carrier will fall into the inferior level when it comes to integrating the Tao seeds.

Even during the ancient era of immortals, there were some amazing people who expounded the principles of yin and yang to the extreme and became immortal kings, but that was just following the old path.

Why did the Immortal King Wuzhong pursue the "beginning"? It was because he had gone astray in the path of time.

Or maybe it's not going astray, but it's just too one-dimensional.

Just as his Taoism says, there is no end, and if there is an end, there must be a beginning. After he wanted to become the Immortal King, he understood that truth and wanted to make amends.

To a certain extent, his path is similar to that of the Immortal King of Samsara. From beginning to end, from end to beginning is also a reincarnation.

However, if one wants to explore such a Tao, it is not enough to rely solely on their Tao seeds, because the Tao contained in the Tao seeds is ultimately subject to shackles.

Otherwise, with the talent of Immortal King Wuzhong, it would not be difficult for him to perform the Tao again from the end to the beginning. It’s just that the Tao carried by the Tao seed was born from the interaction between heaven and earth, and it has been restrained since the day it was born.

The method of cultivation in the ancient era of immortals is to explain the great way around the Tao seed, which to a certain extent neglects the exploration of the essence of the human body.

Simply put, the method of the Ancient Era of Immortals is like a towering tree. No matter whether it is heavenly skills or immortal scriptures, they focus on the branches rather than the trunk.

All the heavenly skills and immortal scriptures that were created were created for the Tao seeds, and their purpose is to explain the Tao contained in the Tao seeds.

After listening to Ye Xiu's words, Zhenlong and Liushen were speechless for a long time. Just as Ye Xiu said, the ancient immortal cultivation method directly points to the essence of the Tao and relies too much on the power of the Tao seeds.

Even some people with amazing talents will focus on digging into their own foundation when practicing, but they will only do it superficially.

Just as Ye Xiu said, although the path of Dao Zhong Fa has brought an extremely brilliant civilization, it has a fatal flaw, which is that it relies on the outside world and ignores the inner Tao.

The secret realm practice method that became popular in later generations focused on oneself, mainly on tapping into the power of the human body, finding one's own path in the process of continuous practice, and then concentrating on one point.

Although the methods of cultivation have similarities in this process, there are still differences. The law enforcement in later generations focuses on using the external world of the Emperor to assist in the cultivation of oneself, focusing on the inner way.

"Does Daoist friend mean that you have now found a way to cultivate the inner way?"

The True Dragon spoke, and now they understood why Ye Xiu collected the cultivation techniques from the ancient times.

Now that the trunk and roots have been found, we need to make the branches more prosperous to promote the growth of the trunk.

"Yes, whether it is the ancient immortal cultivation method or the modern method that is popular in the upper realm today, strictly speaking, they are different paths to the same destination, but they have made extreme breakthroughs in certain realms, making their own foundations more solid."

Strictly speaking, the current worldly law prevailing in the Nine Heavens is just an extension of the cultivation method of the ancient era of immortals, such as the unification of the ten caves and the engraving of the supreme killing array in the body, which still has not gotten rid of the drawbacks of relying on the laws of the outside world. The difference is that such an extension has given the new cultivation method a direction to explore.

After listening to Ye Xiu's remarks, the faces of Zhenlong and Liushen became extremely serious. If there really was such a method, it would far surpass the ancient immortal cultivation methods.

"This method was proposed in the ancient times, but the immortals did not conduct further exploration!" Ye Xiu continued.

"Fellow Daoist, are you talking about using the body as a seed?" Zhenlong was aware of this theory proposed by the ancient immortals, but Willow God entered the Sea of ​​Boundaries too early and did not know much about using the body as a seed.

Ye Xiu nodded and said, "Yes, that is to use the body as a seed! Use yourself as a carrier to carry the Great Dao, and then achieve the control of the Dao!"

“But isn’t that a dead end? Many geniuses in the ancient times have tried it, and countless people have used their lives to verify that the road is a dead end!” Zhenlong said doubtfully.

In the ancient era of immortals, countless geniuses had participated in the exploration of using their bodies as seeds. Even the supreme genius who was known as the Lesser Immortal King fell because of this path.

"Dead end!"

"The road is made by people. Although the ancient immortals failed, they still left behind many feasible experiences. As long as we break the limits in each realm, we can do it!"

Ye Xiu spoke calmly. No matter Meng Tianzheng of this era or Shi Hao of the future, they are all cultivating all the realms to the limit on the path of ancient immortal practice, and even breaking the limit, making their bodies stronger, so they can take which step on that path.

"So that's how it is. In this life, you're taking the path of using your body as a seed when you start cultivating again? No wonder I didn't find any trace of Tao Seed in your body!" Willow God stared at Ye Xiu and said.

"Ok?"

After hearing what Willow God said, the True Dragon also looked at Ye Xiu and sensed him carefully, then said in surprise: "Hiss! There really is no seed in his body!"

“I didn’t expect that someone would actually be able to walk that road!”

Willow God was extremely moved. In the ancient era of immortals, the one who went the furthest as a seed was the Cricket Ancestor among the Ten Evils. However, he failed at the critical moment and did not succeed completely. Otherwise, he would have become an Immortal King.

It was not the case with the True Dragon. He was thinking about some past events. In the ancient era of immortals, he had fought with Ye Xiu and was suppressed by him, and his True Dragon magic was taken away from him.

At that time, Ye Xiu's combat power far exceeded that of ordinary Immortal Kings and was extremely powerful.

Now that I think about it, maybe the other party had successfully mastered the art of using his body as a seed and controlling all things during the ancient era of immortals, otherwise he would not be so strong.

Ye Xiu was silent. The two of them actually thought that he had found the way. However, he changed his mind and realized that he did not follow the ancient immortal cultivation method. Even if he had dabbled in it now, it was only a method to assist in his cultivation.

"Yes and no?"

"Using one's body as a seed is, after all, a manifestation of the Dao Seed Method. If you want to become stronger, you must further explore the path of using your body as a seed!"

“And I am on the road of exploration!”

Ye Xiu did not tell the method of cultivation in the secret realm. It was too horrifying, and the cause and effect involved were not something he could bear at the moment.

"I see!"

Although they were shocked, they were extremely calm.

The real dragon was shocked naturally because of Ye Xiu's incredible ability. Not only did the other party figure out how to use his body as a seed, he also went further than that.

However, he soon calmed down. His current state might disappear soon. Thinking of Xian Gu's enemy, he felt very complicated.

Liu Shen figured out some things, and based on what Ye Xiu said during their previous meeting, she guessed that the other party wanted to overthrow Wang Chengdi.
