The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 722: Chapter 672: A Pool of Stagnant Water, Discussing the Tao!

The development of the world and heaven and earth only continues to grow stronger if it maintains vitality and vigour.

However, if a world becomes rigid and stagnant, it will lose the opportunity to continue to develop.

The current situation in the Daming World is so. If these great forces across heaven and earth monopolize everything and deprive ordinary people, or say independent practitioners, of the possibilities of advancement, this world will become as stagnant as a dead pool, void of even the slightest chance of development.

When Pei Xuanjing initially pushed for the development of the Taoist Academy, he did so not only to give himself a profit, gather broad benefits, and utilize the wisdom and thoughts of many people to gain more Taoyun points, but also to give more opportunities to the people of the world and allow more people to have chances of advancement.

This world is different from the world of his previous life. In the Daming World, as long as cultivation exists, even if these top forces occupy 80% of the interests among heaven and earth, they would not devolve into a dead pool. The layout of this world will not remain rigid and unchanged forever.

Because the talent in cultivation is unpredictable and uncontrollable, even if many geniuses born into great forces are valued and nurtured from birth, receiving the teachings of countless strong people.

However, there will always be some truly strong individuals who, despite starting from insignificance with not much resources, can still rise and stand at the pinnacle of Heaven and Earth.

“A vibrant world can continue to evolve. If it is a stagnant world, there will inevitably be people who will appear to break it,” Pei Xuanjing thought to himself.

The competition on the stage has already reached its climax, and these cultivators have contended for the victors of each realm and received the rewards they need.

Next, the real meat of the competition will begin – the duel between cultivators of the seventh and eighth levels of the Spirit Realm. Their victories or losses will determine the respective shares of benefits each party can get after the Sky Wasteland merges into the Daming World.

Originally, the contest of the cultivators at the seventh level of the Spirit Realm should have started immediately. However, taking into account that the several people from the ancestral land who participated in the competition just finished their moves and need some time to recuperate, the waiting period was extended by a month.

During this month, Pei Xuanjing also had conversations with many strong individuals, each expressing their way of cultivation, which is a benefit to many cultivators.

Of course, the act of many strong individuals conversing is a rarity in the Sky Wasteland, and for these ordinary cultivators, it is an opportunity. For Pei Xuanjing and the rest of the strong individuals, it is also a good chance to exchange and confirm what they have learned.

The strong individuals from all sides immediately narrated their own way, discussing the Tao with each other.

As the Master of Mystiq Sky explained, the Tao of Mystiq Sky Sect is heaven, also the natural Tao.

The essence of the cultivation of the Xuantian Sect is the Xuantian Scripture, which explains the Tao of nature, conforms to the will of Heaven, and is in accordance with the Tao.

The Sword Sect, which pursues the truth with a heart only for the sword, espouses straightness over bentness. They believe everything but heaven, earth, and themselves – the heart of self-improvement is their way.

Taisu refers to the start of nature’s essence. In reference to the five Taisu principles of Taoism, Taisu is the fourth stage after Taiyi, Taichu, and Taishi. Taisu is the formation of Taisu from Taishi, a form with essence but not yet a solid body, hence Taisu.

The Ancestor Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain spoke about the wonderful method of Dragon Tiger Mountain – the Great Clarity Mysterious Origin Wonderful Method. It is based on the Tao Te Ching and the commentary it compiled by itself, propagating that Tao is one, Qi is scattered, and when gathered it becomes the supreme truth.

…

The Blood Fiend Ancestor of the Demonic Cult propagates the principle of the Demonic Way: using heaven to replenish man, plundering heaven and earth to complete oneself.

…

Many of the most powerful practitioners of the Buddha Way adhere to the doctrine of karma and good and evil…

These most powerful practitioners have come this far, regardless of the skills and scriptures they have once cultivated, but they have now forged their own path, opening up their own annotations within the path of their predecessors, explaining their philosophy.

Although they did not speak to them about their method of cultivation, just talking about their Tao and their understanding of heaven and earth, was already a precious thing for many practitioners.

After all, it’s said that a real transfer can be summarized in one sentence, while a false transfer requires a thousand volumes of books. Sometimes, many people’s perplexities’ answers can be found in one sentence.

After these most powerful individuals finished narrating their own Tao, all eyes inevitably fell on Pei Xuanjing, looking forward to the National Teacher narrating his own Tao.

As for these people’s expectations, Pei Xuanjing naturally would not refuse. He smiled slightly, and then slowly began:

“There are nine heavens, the highest of which is Shenxiao, referred to as: The Supreme Shenxiao, a million miles from the earth. The Tao of Shenxiao is: the resonance between Heaven and man, integrating the internal and external. The vital energy of man is interconnected with heavenly timing, and Yin and Yang’s five elements. This resonance must be an application of the essence, the spirit, and the changes of the four seasons and Yin and Yang are also interconnected. Those who practice this Tao have profound internal cultivation, and can call the wind and rain at will…”

What Pei Xuanjing first talked about was the esoteric teachings of the Shenxiao Sect. As a practitioner of Shenxiao and the Head Teacher of Shenxiao, he naturally has extensive research on these things. After all, these wisdoms offered by his predecessors are very beneficial to Pei Xuanjing.

While speaking, Pei Xuanjing extended his clean white hand, the primordial Qi rolled, and the essence Qi of Heaven and Earth began to converge towards his palm, with thunder rumbling as if countless thunders were being born.

Huh?

The many powerful individuals present were also surprised.

It should be known that for the so-called Tao discussion, many strong individuals basically just expound their own Tao methods, but they do not really demonstrate some divine abilities.

After all, the so-called Tao can be transmitted, but not lightly transmitted in a casual manner.

The Tao is their understanding of cultivation and their comprehension of heaven and earth. The more people cultivate, the more they recognize it, but divine abilities are an application of this Tao, they are the means and techniques, and even general disciples will not teach them lightly.

But now Pei Xuanjing is actively demonstrating for everyone. For many cultivators, it is undoubtedly equivalent to teaching this divine ability, which can be described as shocking everyone.

“The national teacher has a broad mind, I am inferior.” The Ancestor Celestial Master praised aloud.

Even a person like him, who wants to spread the Tao to the world, would not lightly pass on divine abilities when teaching the Tao, let alone casually demonstrating it to all cultivators in the world.

The grandness shown by Pei Xuanjing at this moment shocked the Ancestor Celestial Master, making him gasp in admiration.

The other powerful cultivators were also shocked. They were feeling complicated, and it was hard to describe in words because they seemed unable to do what Pei Xuanjing just did if they were in his shoes.
