Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 236: The Ancient and Modern Road Against Heaven

In fact, Chen Jing still didn't understand.

A series of cultivation terms came out of Li Wendao's mouth and gradually became obscure. Only then did he realize that he still hadn't read enough books.

but.

The only things I didn't understand were the specific steps, but I understood the general idea.

The path of practice.

The first three realms of cultivation are to master spiritual power, the middle three realms are to master the laws, and the last three realms are to master the great way.

Gradually transition from "technique" to "method" and finally to "Tao".

This is the path of cultivation for acquired creatures, also known as the path against heaven.

Of course, going against the will of Heaven does not mean doing anything to Heaven. It is simply because this step is the reverse of the evolution of the Great Way.

For the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth itself.

First there is the Tao.

Tao produces one, one produces two, two produces three, and three produces all things.

The law and techniques are derived and evolved into countless things.

This step is easier said than done, but actually it is not that difficult. It has been completely mastered in the ancient immortal era!

In ancient times, people practiced cultivation, refined Qi, built foundation, formed the elixir, and transformed into the Nascent Soul... until they overcame the calamity and became immortals.

Take one step at a time, return to your origin, and the path to becoming an immortal is very clear.

With the development of the ancient immortal way, there are more and more ways to become an immortal, and the techniques leading directly to the immortal realm are becoming more and more perfect.

Until the great catastrophe of heaven and earth, the great way was shattered.

Those who became immortals and those who didn’t are basically all doomed.

The chaos continued until the God Emperor established the Great Yan Divine Dynasty. He used his luck to repair the sky and stabilized the Great Dao. He then replaced the Heavenly Rules with national laws and did not allow practitioners to directly contact the mutated Great Dao. Only then was the chaos in Shenzhou settled.

Only partially.

Because outside the domain, it is not under the jurisdiction of the Divine Dynasty.

After the Great Yan Divine Dynasty failed in its national ascension attempt, strange changes occurred again in heaven and earth.

but.

Everyone has experience this time.

Since we can't contact the road directly, then we can encapsulate and isolate the entire thing so we can contact it indirectly.

then.

Today's path of spiritual practice has been developed by generations of outstanding people.

This is different from the previous system which was just focused on repairing the system.

Today's practitioners only follow the paths they have created. Although they are still on the heaven-defying road of returning to their origins, they no longer set foot on the ancient immortal road littered with corpses.

It’s enough for me to know where the end is. Next, whether I fly, dig a hole, or take a car is all my own business.

This is the biggest difference in the present-day immortal path.

——The Tao comes from me!
The Great Dao doesn’t have my Dao? Then I’ll just insert my Dao into it, and from now on, it will be there!
Chen Jing once wondered why he had never heard of the so-called cultivation methods. This is the case.

You drive and I row, so how can we have a unified driving manual?

then.

In the strict academic community of spiritual practice, these various avenues opened up by practitioners have taken on a new name.

——The acquired way.

The way evolved by heaven and earth themselves, the yin and yang, the five elements, the movement of the stars, are the innate way.

"Doesn't this original avenue contain demonic nature and is ominous if touched? How can we use it?" Chen Jing couldn't help but ask.

"Did I just say that?"

"Ah? Did you say that?"

Chen Jing recalled it for a moment, then gave up: "Brother Li, you know, I'm just an ordinary person, can you explain it in a simpler and easier way?"

"Oh..." Li Wendao was stunned for a moment before nodding: "It means to fill it up with the original Dao, fill it up hard!"

A bit too easy to understand!

"Once it is filled with our 'Dharma' and 'Spell', its natural evolution will also flow down towards the traces we left behind, just like changing the course of a natural river. We dig the river channel in advance and guide the river water to where we want it to go."

"And then?" "And then... there is no then."

Li Wendao's answer surprised Chen Jing. What did he mean by "there is nothing else"?

"Brother Chen has opened up the holy path, so I guess he doesn't know what we cultivators lack after we hide our spirits. What we lack is the 'source of the Tao'."

Following Li Wendao's detailed explanation.

Chen Jing also had his own understanding.

As mentioned before, today's practitioners all use their own methods to reach the destination.

These methods are the acquired ways.

To open up the way to the future, it is not enough for the pioneer to work alone; it requires the help of many people.

Most practitioners can only follow paths that have already been paved, and even then they are not even halfway there.

But as the saying goes.

There was no road originally, but as more people walked on it, a road appeared.

Chen Jing opened up a way to guarantee a bottom line. Every time someone became a spiritual plant cultivator, every time a spiritual plant cultivator obtained a bottom line, the avenue would give him feedback.

In fact, it was not the feedback from the Tao, but these fellow practitioners who gave their power to Chen Jing.

Their existence expands the width of Tao.

This is also called the "origin of Tao"

The greater the influence of the guaranteed way, the more people who share the same way, and the richer the "source of the way" will be.

When the Tao accumulates to a certain level.

Chen Jing will enter a breakthrough state. At this time, his mind will be quick, his comprehension will reach the peak, and he will be able to use all kinds of wonderful methods at will.

Until the entire avenue is pushed forward one step.

This is also the principle of the previous "Daohua" condensation, which requires the accumulation of two elements, one is "material", to find out where to go, and the other is "power".

Simply put, first you need to know where to exert your strength, and second you need to accumulate enough strength.

For Chen Jing, accumulating Dao Source was very simple. He just kept developing his An Ning Society, and Dao Source came in quickly.

but.

How do those monks who follow other people's paths obtain the source of the Tao?

Very simple.

--contribute.

Any acquired way must follow the principle that there is strength in numbers.

To put it bluntly, the so-called holy path is a path that has a very, very great influence and involves the lives of countless people. That is the holy path!
As long as cultivators who follow other people's paths help expand the influence of their own paths, whether it is by developing new methods and techniques or improving their own magical powers and combat capabilities, they can slowly obtain the source of the path.

Among the various ways to expand influence, the most significant ones are "destroying a country" and "education".

Look, there's a wild avenue here!
Let’s teach it the way of thick earth!

Fill it up hard!

Yay! It learned it!

I have educated an ordinary person, which is a great achievement!
This is the "merit of education", which is equivalent to decades of hard practice in one go.

In addition, it is the "merit of destroying a country."

If there is a person whose great path is to sacrifice ninety-nine percent of the people in heaven and earth to make me successful, then what is this person's path?

It is also the holy way!

Moreover, it is completely in conflict with Chen Jing's thick earth doctrine.

At this time, if Chen Jing beat the opponent to death, he might become an immortal on the spot... Of course, this would require the opponent to grow to a level similar to his own.

There is a big difference between destroying a country and destroying the indigenous people.

For the cultivators in the Nine Provinces of the Central Plains, it is very important to choose the path to practice. It can be said that they have been choosing sides from the very beginning. Factional struggles and disputes over the great path are very serious.

On the contrary, in the small place of Suizhou, the struggle for the great road is hardly felt.

After all, there are only a few roads.

Li Wendao added: "For us, the Dao source is the most precious thing. We can also use it to derive new methods at the level of inheritance. However, for a Dao pioneer like you, it also has unique uses."
