Chapter 109: Everything turns into a miracle
Li Fan and Master Yin returned to the depths of the building. After sitting down at a resting place, Li Fan explained his purpose.
"Oh? Are you asking how to break through to the foundation building stage?" Master Yin suddenly became excited and saliva flew everywhere. "Fellow Taoist, you have asked the right person! I dare say that no one knows more about foundation building than me!"
"Want to hear the details!" Li Fan asked with a smile without replying.
The human-hand dog now walked upright like a human.
The two forelimb hands held two cups and placed them on the table.
The cup was filled with blackness and he didn't know what was inside.
The dog then lay down again and circled around Master Yin to claim credit.
"Fellow Taoist, please drink tea! This is a good thing. It is the aura bacteria that I cultivated. If it grows and grows symbiotically in the body, it can speed up the circulation of aura and enhance the power of the aura explosion. There are many benefits." Master Yin took a sip as if it were delicious. , said to Li Fan.
Li Fan swept his consciousness and found that what was tumbling in the cup were countless tiny creatures, with teeth and claws and unique looks.
So Li Fan stood still.
Seeing that Li Fan refused to drink, Master Yin felt a little regretful.
Without forcing anything, he got to the point and asked: "The so-called foundation building is the foundation for cultivating the Tao. So, fellow Taoists, do you know what this Tao foundation is?"
Li Fan thought for a moment and replied: "The Tao Foundation is the foundation of a monk's practice. After a monk reaches the point of perfecting his Qi refining, he needs to build his own Tao Foundation before he can continue to practice. Otherwise, even if his cultivation level can continue to increase, it will not be the same. A tall building built on sand will collapse with a slight shake."
When it comes to academic discussions, Master Yin is quite serious. He nodded: "Yes, before the great catastrophe, there were qi-refining monks who took a different approach. They did not build Tao foundations and only specialized in qi-refining."
"It is said that there is no limit to Qi refining, and three thousand levels of Qi refining can kill Hedao. Unfortunately, this person only cultivated to the ninety-ninth level of Qi refining, and was killed by a golden elixir monk who couldn't stand it."
"Perhaps this method is really feasible, but firstly, the Qi-refining monks are weak and cannot withstand such a huge force. Secondly, even if there are many levels of Qi-refining, they will only have brute force. It is really the same as foundation building and above. When the cultivators started fighting, they suffered too much and sacrificed their strengths for the sake of inferiority. "
Master Yin took a sip of tea and continued: "The ancient monks all followed nature. They observed the laws of the movement of heaven and earth, and understood the laws of the circulation of the great road."
"Then, combine your own insights and make a poor imitation."
"The monks' understanding and thinking about the great road formed over time have become the foundation for their future practice."
"Also because people have different qualifications and their understanding is high or low, the speed and degree of conformity with which monks can comprehend the Dao and build the Dao foundation also vary greatly."
"Some people can feel something in their hearts in an instant and build the foundation immediately. But the vast majority of people have been struggling for decades and can't make any progress."
"The difficulty of practicing Taoism is evident."
Master Yin suddenly sighed: "But that was in the past."
"If the laws of heaven and earth are compared to a towering tree, then in the past, monks like us were all tiny elves among the trees. We would fly among the branches and leaves, observing and comprehending."
"It's too slow and too difficult."
"So, after the Immortal Lord preached, monks like us turned into greedy ants. We no longer engaged in observing and imitating, imitating and reproducing, but directly gnawed the branches and leaves of the giant tree and turned them into materials for our own growth."
"In this way, cultivation will definitely be countless times faster. And the wonders of the world are just like the branches and leaves of this giant tree."
"It is the aggregation of the laws of heaven and earth in a certain aspect. Using strange objects as a basis, monks can omit the process of their own enlightenment and directly turn them into their own Tao foundation."
Li Fan nodded: "I remember it was said in "Theory of Strange Objects"."
""Theory of Strange Objects"..." Master Yin sneered, seeming to be disdainful.
He continued: "If we say that the wonders of heaven and earth were faked in the past, it was to omit the process of understanding heaven and earth..."
"Then, let me ask you. Nowadays, there are monks and geniuses who don't need the wonders of heaven and earth to understand these laws. His understanding of heaven and earth is so in harmony that in ancient times, he could directly build the foundation. Now, Are you okay?" Master Yin looked at Li Fan with burning eyes.
"Of course not. Building the foundation requires the wonders of the world..." Li Fan said, suddenly thinking of something, he fell silent.
"Yes, the method of cultivation has been completely changed." Master Yin said coldly.
"In the past, monks understood the laws of heaven and earth and followed the laws of nature. This was the law of nature."
"But after the Immortal Master taught the Dharma, this natural principle was reversed. The monks will go against the will of heaven and plunder the heaven and the earth..."
Li Fan whispered: "It defies the laws of heaven and earth..."
"To prove immortality!" Master Yin continued.
"I don't know what monks need to achieve immortality before the great tribulation."
"But since the method of cultivation has been changed, the only way to achieve immortality is to go against the principles of heaven and earth."
"The original Immortal Master who transmitted the Dharma was the proposer of the theory and the first practitioner."
"He went against all the principles of practice among monks in the world and achieved the status of immortality. From then on, he lived the same life as heaven and earth, and was free and at ease."
"From now on, all monks in the world who want to practice can only practice according to his 'law'. How arrogant!"
Master Yin's tone was fierce, and he was obviously quite dissatisfied with this Immortal Lord who taught the Dharma.
"Go your own way, and then let all sentient beings have no choice but to follow this path from now on. What a Dharma-transmitting Heavenly Lord..." Li Fan was shocked in his heart.
This was the second Immortal Lord he had glimpsed.
Then, he suddenly thought of the giant statue of the old man with a high crown on Ten Thousand Immortals Island.
Standing tall and independent, looking down on all living beings coming and going.
"Could it be that this Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was created by the Heavenly Lord Chuanfa? But since the Heavenly Lord Chuanfa is still alive, how could he sit back and watch Ten Thousand Immortals Island be destroyed by red flames a few years later..." Li Fan's heart surged. A moment of doubt.
Master Yin did not pay attention to Li Fan, and continued: "Here comes the key question, since now foundation building must fake the wonders of heaven and earth."
"Then what are the wonders of heaven and earth?"
"You have also read "Theory of Strange Objects" and know that after a monk falls, he will be transformed into a strange object by heaven and earth."
"Doesn't that mean that during his lifetime, the monk can also be regarded as a wonder of heaven and earth that has not been completely transformed?"
Master Yin spoke faster and faster, as if he wanted to tell all the research that no one had paid attention to over the years in one breath.
"Heaven and earth are like a furnace, and the finished products are the formed wonders of heaven and earth. And everything in heaven and earth can be regarded as wonders that have not yet been formed!"
"Wonderful objects are a collection of rules, aren't people? The human body is so delicate and contains infinite mysteries. Why shouldn't it be regarded as a strange object?"
"Fellow Taoist, you may also know that some monks will refine mortals with supernatural powers into wonders of heaven and earth and use them as their own Taoist foundation. Thus, they can take possession of those mortals' supernatural powers as their own."
"I am also a human being, so am I a strange object?"
Seeing that Master Yin was getting more and more outrageous, Li Fan couldn't help but asked: "Is this the guess of fellow Taoist, or..."
Master Yin grinned: "It used to be a guess, but now..."
"It has been confirmed by me."
As he spoke, his entire body split open left and right along the center line.
Another face of Lord Yin emerged from the flesh and blood of the five internal organs.
"Ten years ago, I used myself as a rare object to build the foundation of the Tao!"
The two faces inside and outside said in unison.
