People in Jiejiao practice Taoism and become gods

Chapter 267 [To achieve the Way of Heaven, first cultivate the Way of Man] (Subscription required)
"Make the fake come true!"

Xuan Qing was playing with the crystal that his incarnation had brought back. Although the power contained in it was vastly different from the Heavenly Dao of the prehistoric world, the essence of the two powers was the same.

The strength of that "Changshengtian" is naturally not enough to accomplish this. It is the power of faith of hundreds of millions of sentient beings in the "Tianhai Realm" that has gathered into a sea that gives this crystal a hint of the characteristics of the way of heaven.

In the "Tianhai Realm", the reason why "Changshengtian" can control and rule everything, and even sense the location where the reincarnations arrive, is because of the heavenly law network formed by the endless power of faith.

This is the prototype of the Way of Heaven!
The net of heaven is vast and wide, and nothing can escape it. This is what distinguishes the will of Heaven from the will of the world. He can actively monitor the living beings of a certain world.

To be honest, Xuanqing was able to open up the path to immortality because he had naturally studied the power of incense. Before he broke through to the Golden Immortal, his alter ego, "Suiren", used the "Sui Ming Tree" as the foundation and created a Daluo Heaven of incense in endless time and space.

However, this Daluo Heaven can only carry the true spirits of the fallen and nourish their souls, but it cannot monitor everything like the Heavenly Dao.

Even though later, the "Sui Ming Tree" devoured part of the essence of the "Fusang Tree", broke free from its shackles, and became the top-grade innate spiritual root "Innate Sui Tree", the Xianghuo Daluotian did not show any trend of giving birth to the will of heaven.

At this time, the Daluo Heaven with its incense and fire was actually no worse than the "Heaven and Sea Realm". The only thing lacking was that Xuanqing did not create the concept of "heaven".

Yes, concept!
Whether it is turning the virtual into the real, or refining the false into the true, you need to have a concept first before you can transform it from a false thing into a real existence.

In the "Heaven and Sea Realm", the reason why "Changshengtian" can possess some characteristics of the way of heaven is because hundreds of millions of living beings regard him as the real "heaven".

“Maybe, I can do that too!”

Xuan Qing's heart moved, and he looked towards the depths of the origin of the Heavenly Dao. In the ancient times, there was Hongjun Hedao, and there was Yuanshi Tianzun who intended to replace it. Naturally, it was not suitable for him to imitate it, replacing the Heavenly Dao with his own heart.

But outside the prehistoric world, there are the heavens and myriad worlds, as well as countless multiverses. These are places that the prehistoric heavenly way has not yet touched.

He looked at the Taoist of Minghe and asked, "Fellow Daoist of Minghe, how many worlds with living beings have the reincarnationists discovered so far?"

Minghe thought for a moment and replied, "There are currently 3,740 known great worlds, 76,582 medium worlds, 2,684,000 small worlds, and as for the existence of dust worlds and demiplanes, there are countless!"

"About 70% of these worlds have given birth to life, and of the remaining 30%, half are still in the stage of nurturing life, and the remaining half are gradually heading towards destruction!"

"And among the 70% of worlds that have given birth to living beings, less than one in ten thousand have embarked on the path of cultivation. Many worlds do not even have the conditions for cultivation!"

"Therefore, for most worlds, we only left a coordinate. The worlds below the Small Thousand Worlds are not worth exploring at all!"

Since the formation of the "Mythology" organization, it has been committed to exploring the heavens and the myriad worlds. Although the "Heaven-reaching Jianmu" is said to connect the heavens and the myriad worlds, the chaotic universe is so vast, and the worlds born in it are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges. How can a chaotic spiritual root cover them all?
What it connects to are only the worlds near the prehistoric world, most of which have been explored long ago. The "Myth" organization uses these explored worlds as bridgeheads to radiate deeper and farther into chaos.

The "Sumeru" organization established by Hou Tu and others is also doing this, especially Buddhism, which has a huge demand for the power of faith.

The golden bodies and Dharma images of Buddhism are cast based on merits, vows and other things.

However, merit is hard to come by. Except for a few Buddhas who have the ability to obtain merit, other Bodhisattvas and Arhats can only settle for the second best and use the incense and vows of hundreds of millions of lives to cast golden bodies.

Xuanqing nodded.

However, he did not focus on the worlds where practitioners existed, but instead set his sights on those worlds without spiritual energy.

Do not!
It is not true to say that there is no spiritual energy. Everything in the world has a spirit. Since living beings can be born, those worlds must have spiritual energy.

It's just that the level of the world and the upper limit of converting spiritual energy cannot meet the standard for giving birth to practitioners, which is why the Styx does not care about those worlds.

after all……

Minghe is at the peak of quasi-sainthood, and he is only one step away from becoming a saint. Naturally, he looks down on those worlds that don't even have cultivators.

However, such worlds are the majority in the chaotic universe. If one can preach in them, one will surely gain a massive amount of power of faith.

Sick people desire health, poor people desire wealth, and since life is short, people naturally desire to become practitioners who can live forever.

Even if those worlds can only give birth to Qi Refiners and can only extend their lifespans by one or two hundred years, it is enough to attract the creatures of that world to flock there.

The power of faith is better described as the power of hope. For things that are beyond human control, ordinary creatures often beg ghosts and gods for help.

"If you want to achieve the Way of Heaven, you must first cultivate the Way of Man!"

Xuan Qing suddenly realized, "In the prehistoric times, it seemed that the Heavenly Dao was the first to revive, but in fact, the Human Dao was first opened up by Pangu. Pangu was a living being, and the Chaos Demon God was also a living being. It was when Pangu opened up the world that he first shaped the concept of 'Heavenly Dao', and then the Heavenly Dao came into being! The Human Dao came before the Heavenly Dao!"

As soon as his mind moved, his consciousness immediately connected with the "Innate Flint Tree" in his inner world, transferring it from his inner world to his lower dantian. Pangu used his upper, middle and lower dantian to evolve the three ways of heaven, earth and man. The earth way is the soil that breeds the human way, and the human way is the support for the existence of the heaven way. The three ways of heaven, earth and man are interrelated.

If human nature is the trunk, heavenly nature is the fruit, and earthly nature is the root system or soil, then the existence of the world is the foundation for the birth of the two ways of heaven and man.

This is also the reason why, no matter whether it is the Way of Heaven or the Way of Man, even if they want to suppress the Way of Earth, they will not allow anyone to destroy the prehistoric world.

Without the Way of Earth, humanity and living beings would have no basis for existence. Without humanity and living beings, the Way of Heaven would lose its meaning of maintaining order.

Therefore, if you want to achieve the way of heaven, you must first cultivate the way of man. If you want to perform the way of man, you must first perform the world. This is also the reason why heaven is above, man is in the middle, and earth is below.

With an idea in mind, Xuan Qing immediately split himself into thousands of incarnations, transformed into streams of light, and escaped into those worlds with extremely thin spiritual energy.

At the same time, he also integrated the incense power collected by several of his incarnations when he was a god in heaven into the celestial soul.

The two souls of heaven and earth are often outside, and only the soul of life is alone in the body. The two souls of heaven and earth are free, and it is very appropriate to use them as the foundation for shaping the way of heaven or the way of earth. It can also ensure that the way of heaven or the way of earth shaped by Xuanqing will not escape his control for some reasons!

If his incarnation is too powerful, it is very likely to backfire on his true self, but the Heaven Soul, Earth Soul and Life Soul are all one with himself.

There is no risk of backlash!

……

At the same time, Xuanqing's incarnation of himself, with the help of his infinite characteristics, also fell into one small thousand world or one dust world after another.

The Small Thousand Worlds can give birth to practitioners, and some Small Thousand Worlds with profound foundations can even give birth to conditions sufficient to practice to the realm of celestial immortals.

He just needs to pass down the Taoist tradition.

As for those microscopic worlds where the spiritual energy was thin and it was difficult to practice cultivation, he used certain means to manually give those worlds a "spiritual energy revival".

As a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, he still has many means to increase the spiritual energy of a world to a level that can satisfy the spiritual practice of living beings.

For example, using mountains, rivers and land veins to build a large formation, or using the stars in the sky to build a large formation to transform acquired spiritual energy or star energy.

As for why he did not transform the innate spiritual energy, it was not that he did not have the corresponding means, but that forcing things to happen was not conducive to the cultivation of those creatures.

In addition, he studied the ways of spiritual farming and cultivated many spiritual roots and immortal trees that could transform spiritual energy, which was enough to provide acquired spiritual energy for practicing.

He began to sow seeds continuously, bestowing the race of spiritual roots, and personally manifested himself, reflecting the images of himself and the Three Pure Ones in these worlds.

It’s just that whenever he showed his divine power, he always regarded himself as the “Heavenly Way” of this world. As for the Three Pure Ones, they were saints who came from outside the world to preach the Dharma.

He was enlightened by the Three Pure Ones and became the "Heavenly Way" of this world. He established the Taoist tradition, spread the immortal law, and gave the creatures of this world the opportunity to live long and healthy lives.

In less than a hundred years, there were millions of worlds with the concepts of Heavenly Dao and Taoism, and they all worshipped the Three Pure Ones and Heavenly Dao.

Of course, Xuan Qing did not just harvest the power of faith. He integrated his own incarnation with the world will of these worlds and naturally mastered all kinds of power over wind, rain, thunder and snow.

Among the methods he passed down were methods of granting ordination, as well as fasting, rituals, astrology, divination and other methods that could mobilize the power of celestial phenomena.

As these Taoist disciples’ cultivation deepens, they can continue to add more talismans and magic spells, thereby mobilizing more power of heaven and earth.

There is nothing magical about those fasting, offerings and rituals. The real power behind them is the incarnation of Xuanqing who goes by the name of "Heavenly Way".

An endless stream of power of faith converged towards Xuanqing's heavenly soul. In less than a hundred years, the concept of "Heavenly Way" had already been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

When Xuan Qing saw that this method worked, he continued to create his own incarnations. Over ten thousand years, he created hundreds of millions of his own incarnations.

The purpose of these incarnations of himself is to spread the concepts of the Way of Heaven and the Three Pure Ones of Taoism to those dusty worlds with thin spiritual energy, and to manually guide the "revival of spiritual energy" to gather the power of faith.

As long as there are enough creatures who believe that Xuanqing is the Way of Heaven, even the world will of that world will be assimilated by Xuanqing's incarnation.

At that time, the fake will become real, and he can also become the way of heaven in this world.

And this mysterious power will continuously flow into Xuanqing Tianhun, helping it to turn the false into the true and transform towards the true way of heaven.
