Chapter 371 I want it all
According to Bai Ze's summary, there are three paths in the current practice of incense offerings.

The most superior approach is the concept of three parts faith and seven parts symbolism as described in Mahayana Buddhism, whose core is similar to becoming stronger first to drive becoming stronger later.

The point is, it really works; it's not a scam.

Aside from the benefits of faith, the more people who practice the same source of power, the greater the gains for the entity that is the symbol and the source.

The stronger the symbolism, the more it will in turn boost the strength of the believers. Furthermore, the more people who practice the same cultivation method, the stronger the resonance effect of their energy will be, making the benefits bidirectional.

The stronger the first become, the stronger the next become, and the stronger the next become, which in turn helps the stronger the first become, thus achieving a win-win situation.

The believers inspired by this are far more powerful than those who are merely tools of faith and willpower; their future is truly promising.

Furthermore, the progress gained through this path is no different from that gained through cultivation. Even if one loses faith in the future, at most one's strength will only increase more slowly, and one will not become a useless person who declines due to a lack of faith.

However, the downside is that it is too difficult to manage and is far less convenient than mindlessly recruiting followers.

If Ursus hadn't taken over the Holy Church's core territory and acquired the body of the False God, the Holy Son, they wouldn't have been able to take this path.

The other two routes are much more convenient.

One is the commonly perceived method of collecting faith. Its strength depends entirely on the number of believers, and it's far easier than the first path. However, it has drawbacks: besides increasing power, it offers nothing else, and there's even a possibility of being corrupted by faith.

Another approach is the one pioneered by Koshche, which is faster than simply collecting faith, but also carries far greater risks.

Those who harbor malice towards you want you dead; how could they possibly be willing to help you cultivate?

Absorbing these thoughts means being constantly subjected to malicious attacks; basically, nine out of ten cultivators die, and the remaining one goes mad.

However, Koshke possesses the "Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique," which he uses entirely to adapt to, control, and even absorb malice.

As long as a flaw doesn't harm you, it's as if you have no flaws.

"However, since Kosh'e left 'Spirit Devouring' on Qingyu Mountain, he must be dissatisfied with the current situation and wants to see if there is any room for improvement in his own path through the cultivation of others," Bai Ze said thoughtfully, stroking his chin.

He has the power to make his words come true, and he also possesses the "Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique," so it's not impossible for him to follow the path of Koshche.

However, generally speaking, if you choose the path of absorbing malice, you can no longer absorb the power of faith. This is because one is about following and worshipping, while the other is about wishing the target dead; these two conflicting intentions will inevitably clash.

The best approach, which is three parts faith and seven parts symbolism, is also one that Bai Ze can take.

Catherine used the body of the false god, the Holy Son, as a symbol, while Bai Ze was able to create symbols himself.

The first step in his "Sutra on the Practice of the Chakravartin" is to visualize a Chakravartin, who becomes a holy king himself and controls countless grains of sand around him. This visualization is, in fact, a symbol.

As both are part of "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm of Your Hand", the two techniques complement each other.

The "Sutra of the Practice of the Wheel-Turning King" can create symbols, provide an introduction to the Mahayana Buddhist path, and completely control the power of faith incorporated into the body.

The Mahayana Buddhist Path can help one's spiritual practice with external forces, strengthen one's spiritual power, and make the practice of the Chakravartin Sutra easier.

Thinking of this, Bai Ze immediately thought of Catherine, 'I think I've done her a huge favor this time.'

Mu Yaoguang and Bai Ze possess two parts of the "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm" cultivation method. One is the foundational method for establishing one's own Daoist practice, and the other is the "Chakravartin Mantra Practice Sutra".

The "Sutra of the Wheel-Turning King" was obtained from Daxing Temple. After the incident in Yingzhou Secret Realm, Daxing Temple had been in frequent contact with Ursus, attempting to obtain the cultivation techniques from the Ursus Orthodox Sect.

As for how to obtain it, it's most likely through trade, just like Bai Ze.

Therefore, there's no need to worry about which part of the cultivation method Mu Yaoguang will choose; it will definitely be the "Chakravartin Sutra".

In this way, Catherine could at most obtain two parts of the cultivation technique, and the plans of those bald monks at Daxing Temple were thwarted.

But now it seems that even though it's just two parts, Catherine has made a huge profit, because the two techniques complement each other.

While Daxing Temple has its own intentions, there's also the possibility that negotiations could break down. If another cultivation technique were offered, and negotiations also fall apart, Catherine's gains would definitely not be as significant as they are now.

Now that Catherine has obtained the "Sutra of the Wheel-Turning King," her control over the Hand of God will surely be greatly enhanced.

'Even if I face her again, I still can't guarantee victory,' Bai Ze thought with some concern.

The Hand of God is too overpowered; it feels like even the innate divine power of an eight-star martial artist is no more than this. In fact, it could be said that divine powers like Yun Jingming's "Nine Heavens Purification" are completely inferior to the Hand of God.

Bai Ze had a premonition that when Yekaterina reached the eighth star, she would completely control the Hand of God and dominate the faith accumulated by the Ursus Orthodox Church over the decades, and even the holy light of all members of the Orthodox Church.

"That's practically cheating!" Bai Ze couldn't help but exclaim.

The only way to deal with this kind of cheater is to be a cheater of the same kind.

Bai Ze had already made up his mind after thinking about this.

He wants all three paths of the incense offering, as they are not mutually exclusive.

Since faith and malice are mutually exclusive, let us separate them by making our words lawful.

As for faith, Bai Ze never thought of imitating those sects. Kosh'e's "Soul Devouring" could actually absorb the goodwill directed at Bai Ze.

With his current reputation, he has no shortage of followers and critics. If all else fails, he can go to the Slug Autonomous Oblast and be the "sun," where he's guaranteed to have both good and evil in his mind.

And then there are the seven parts symbolism and the methods of dissemination...
"The Cantongqi," Bai Ze revealed the answer.

The Cantongqi at Yujing Wuda is all-encompassing, and countless people have benefited from studying it over the past decades.

Unlike Mu Yaoguang and Bai Ze, who were able to master the general outline and integrate all thirty-three chapters, they could still comprehend one or two chapters and integrate their essence with their own martial arts.

Just like the "Zhou Tian Si Shi Fa" (The Method of the Four Seasons of the Heavenly Cycle) learned by Bai Ze, it has the shadow of the "Can Tong Qi" (The Book of the Three Kinships).

The same applies to the "Xuanji Observation" that Ye Weiyang passed on to Bai Ze.

However, to make the cultivation method derived from the "Cantongqi" have this effect, it is necessary to extract the essence of Bai Ze himself, create a specific method, and then spread it.

"I already have my own team, so there's no need to rush to select initial dissemination personnel. The important thing is to establish a symbol and a specific approach."

As Bai Ze spoke, he looked at Mu Yaoguang, who had just walked out of the restroom.
