Chapter 327 Brother, I understand!
Li Xiuchang began to calm down and comprehend the Way of Equality.
His goal of this retreat was to achieve the Great Completion of the Way of Equality and directly impact the Hedao Stage!
As usual, he still had his clone in retreat, and his main body was free to move around.
His main body was not idle either, and was actively improving his skills. His weapon refining skills were first upgraded to the seventh level, and his spiritual plant skills naturally had to keep up.
For this reason, Li Xiuchang also went to Dengxian Pavilion again, and through the secret method of "醍醐 enlightenment", he instilled some spiritual plant skills experience, combined with his own practice, to improve faster.
At the same time, Li Xiuchang was also actively looking for nutrients to absorb for the "Way of Equality".
He was in retreat to comprehend the Tao, which was called comprehending, but in fact there was no comparison, and he was actually creating his own Tao.
Every improvement was a process from nothing to something.
It was equivalent to opening up a new road in a dense forest full of thorns, and every step forward was explored by himself.
Others took the road left by their predecessors, at least the general direction was already there, which was much easier than Li Xiuchang.
Even if Li Xiuchang lived two lives, he only lived for a few decades in total, which is incomparable to those experienced predecessors.
It was a coincidence that he could create a new avenue. It is hard to imagine how difficult it would be for him to develop this avenue to perfection.
Therefore, it is not advisable to work in isolation. It is necessary to learn from the strengths of many schools to make the equal way mature faster.
The equal way has been able to progress to this point in just a few years, and it has borrowed a lot of content from the "Law of All Living Beings" in Buddhism.
Standing on the shoulders of predecessors, we can see farther. It is not shameful to learn from the experience of predecessors, but it is a smart shortcut.
But it is difficult to learn from the useful parts of other avenues, but to be different and not assimilated by the other avenue.
Therefore, "borrowing" is also a technical job.
It can be similar, but not the same. You must have your own things, especially the core of the avenue must be your own, otherwise your avenue will be assimilated by others and become someone else's avenue.
For example, when Li Xiuchang integrates the "Path of All Living Beings" into the Path of Equality, if he fails to grasp the right measure, or is influenced by the Path of All Living Beings and integrates too much of the core of the Path of All Living Beings, then the "Path of Equality" will become another branch of the Path of All Living Beings.
It means that he has been busy for a long time, adding bricks and tiles to the Buddhist Path.
Li Xiuchang's body wanders around the Origin World and the library of the Ascension Pavilion, constantly learning about other avenues, and selecting parts that can inspire his own Path of Equality.
At the same time, he is constantly discussing the Dao with several senior brothers and sisters, and constantly absorbing knowledge from them.
Just as Zhang Wanzhi said, Li Xiuchang's Path of Equality is too shameless, it might as well be called "the Path of Sophistry", "the Path of Distortion", "the Path of Nonsense"...
In short, it is too inclusive, and everything can be forced to be related.
When discussing the Dao with senior brothers and sisters, he can always extract the parts that resonate with the Path of Equality from their Insights of the Dao, absorb and digest them, and integrate them into his own Path of Equality.
Chen Changsheng practiced the ordinary "Wood Avenue", and the Five Elements Avenue was the main avenue for most immortal cultivators.
For Chen Changsheng, who had mediocre qualifications and had a hard time along the way, the simple and popular ones were the best.
He initially practiced the wood attribute health-preserving exercises, which focused on being moderate and peaceful, and prolonging life.
Later, after he succeeded in his practice, he changed to a better wood attribute exercise, which still focused on prolonging life, and he swallowed a lot of longevity pills along the way.
Therefore, his life span was much longer than that of cultivators of the same level, which gave him the confidence to be calm and not to fight or compete, to take every step carefully, to operate steadily, and to become an immortal step by step.
When he ascended to become an immortal, everyone in the immortal cultivation world was surprised, but they thought it was natural after thinking about it.
If he didn't become an immortal, who would?
When he became an immortal, he looked back at those peers and old friends. Some died in fights, some were buried in dangerous places, and some were unwilling to die, and all turned into dry bones.
Those stunning beauties, with countless fans under their skirts, were nothing more than skeletons in the end.
Only he, the little talisman master and unknown cultivator who was ignored by everyone, made it all the way to the end.
To this day, the past is nothing but clouds and smoke, leaving no traces. Only he, Chen Changsheng, is immortal and has become the most solid mark of that era today!
There is really nothing to say about Chen Changsheng's wood path, so he roughly told Li Xiuchang about his practice experience.
Telling about his practice experience, mixed with his various practice insights, the process of sharpening and sublimation of the heart of Tao.
Who would have thought that after listening, Li Xiuchang immediately showed a look of enlightenment: "Brother, I understand!"
Chen Changsheng was stunned: "What did you understand?"
He didn't say anything!
The two did not really discuss the Dao, and what he said was not related to Li Xiuchang's "Equality Dao", right?
It was just that Li Xiuchang came to him, so he chatted with Li Xiuchang for a while, hoping that his practice experience could inspire Li Xiuchang to be down-to-earth and not be greedy for success and rush forward.
Li Xiuchang's eyes were bright, and he caught that glimmer of insight and said:
"Brother, along the way, all the old friends, whether they were geniuses or mediocre people, have become dry bones. Isn't this a kind of equality? Everyone has different starting points, but they all have the same destination. Only you, brother, are the only inequality among all equality!
"So my equality should be like this, all beings are equal, but I should be above all beings!"
"I should be the only inequality among all equality!"
Li Xiuchang understood that people cannot and should not be bound by their own Dao.
All beings are equal, so how should he deal with himself? Should he also be equal to his enemies?
The Equality Path is very powerful when facing enemies stronger than himself, but it is basically useless when facing enemies weaker than himself. On the surface, this is not a big problem.
Because facing weak enemies, there is no need to use the Equality Path, and they can be defeated easily.
But if the Equality Path continues to grow and develop, small problems will be magnified if they are not solved.
You can't really make yourself equal to weak enemies in the future.
Buddha said that all beings are equal, so why is Buddha Buddha and all beings all beings?
Absolute equality does not exist. If Buddha and all beings are equal, who will preside over equality?
If Buddha and all beings are equal, is it fair to Buddha?
Therefore, someone must play the role of "Buddha".
Li Xiuchang wants to be the "Buddha" who presides over equality in his own Equality Path.
Chen Changsheng blinked... Is this okay?
You really... force yourself to get involved!
At this moment, Chen Changsheng agreed with Zhang Wanzhi's statement very much. Li Xiuchang's Equality Path is really a "sophistry path".
This sudden enlightenment made the experienced Chen Changsheng puzzled.
Li Xiuchang's understanding was handed over to his clone to study carefully, while he continued to look for new inspiration and discuss with other brothers and sisters.
Then he discussed with Senior Brother Motu, and murmured in Motu's surprised eyes:
"No matter the righteous path or the evil path, as long as you can avoid doing evil, it is a good path!"
"Whether it is immortals or demons, they are all equal and should not be treated differently. The difference between immortals and demons is only the difference in cultivation systems, and should not be elevated to the level of the difference between good and evil."
"In this case, immortals and demons, as well as any other cultivation systems and attributes of exercises, are all equal in my eyes."
"My Buddhist and Taoist body refining exercises have the effect of "overcoming evil". Evil should not only refer to the evil path and the ghost path. All evil people should be restrained by me!"
"Immortal cultivators, Buddhist cultivators, Confucian cultivators, as long as they are evil people, they should be restrained by me!"
"Evil cannot prevail over good. All the forces that restrain me, if they come from the hands of evil people, cannot restrain me, and should be restrained by me!"
"Senior Brother, I understand, I understand again!"
Li Xiuchang's eyes are shining, and his expression is excited!
Motu carefully looked at Li Xiuchang for a long time, and only then was he relieved after confirming that he was not possessed.
Li Xiuchang's tricky reasoning sounded a bit abnormal, and there were signs of possessedness.
Many people in their Demon Sect had this behavior before they became possessed. Although such people often had a surge in cultivation and strength after becoming possessed, they also became crazy.
Motu didn't want Li Xiuchang to end up crazy.
To be on the safe side, he called Zhang Wanzhi over.
After listening to Li Xiuchang's tricky reasoning, Zhang Wanzhi glared and said, "What kind of Tao are you realizing! You have taken all the benefits!"
"How can this be called the equal Tao! I have never seen such an unequal Tao as yours. Your Tao is too dark. Just change the name to 'black Tao'!"
Good guy, as long as you label the enemy as "evil", you can restrain everyone and not be restrained by everyone. Isn't it a bit too much?
Of course, the so-called Tao is the rules.
When the Daos that two people cultivate collide, that is, the rules conflict, then naturally whoever has the stronger Dao will obey.
For example, Li Xiuchang's Dao of Equality at this time has no effect on Zhang Wanzhi and Motu, because compared with the Daos of the two senior brothers, his Dao of Equality is no different from a swaddled baby facing the Golden Immortal, there is no comparison.
The two senior brothers confirmed that Li Xiuchang's mental state was fine, and Zhang Wanzhi planned to leave.
As a result, he was dragged by Li Xiuchang to discuss Dao again.
A few days later, after the discussion with Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi, Li Xiuchang shouted again: "Senior Brother, I understand!"
"Okay, you can understand it, but don't be too outrageous. If the Dao is too crooked, it is easy to go astray."
"Don't worry, Senior Brother, my Dao of Equality is a dignified and righteous Dao! There is no more righteous than mine!"
Zhang Wanzhi and Motu looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.
Xiuchang's state is very dangerous!
Don't really go into the devil.
...
Li Xiuchang didn't feel any danger, he just felt it was too smooth.
During this retreat to realize the truth, he clearly felt the convenience brought by his various rich resources.
Others may only get some guidance from their elders.
If the master is not strong enough, this guidance is also very limited.
Realizing the truth is a very private matter. Even the disciples of the four major immortal sects can't get much external help.
But Li Xiuchang can read all the relevant content in the entire preaching list, and has enough Dao spikes to unlock;
He can go to the Dengxian Pavilion Library, where the knowledge of the entire Xianyin Realm is most concentrated, and freely initiate any of the great Dao insights;
There is also a group of immortal neighbors with unfathomable strength to discuss the truth with him and give him inspiration.
In addition, there are dream pills and "Da Meng Zhenjing" to help him quickly realize the truth in his dreams!
These are advantages that others don't have!
But compared with the knowledge in Dengxian Pavilion and the preaching list, discussing the truth with the neighbors is more helpful to him.
In a month, Li Xiuchang discussed the truth with several neighbors.
Even Senior Brother Gui, who was elusive, seemed to have expected this and sent a clone back.
Li Xiuchang discussed the Dao with Senior Brother Gui, and finally expressed the feeling that "all beings are equal under fate".
No matter whether one is born high or low, or how strong one's cultivation is, who can escape fate?
Under fate, even the likes of the Taoist ancestors find it difficult to escape.
Even a strong Confucian saint ended up dead and his Tao collapsed.
Words appeared above Brother Gui's head:
"If someone believes in fate, then he must have understood life."
"However, every excellent fortune teller is a person who does not believe in fate, and always wants to change fate by peeping into fate."
This is very contradictory. Fortune tellers, a group of people who study fate, do not believe in fate.
Li Xiuchang seemed to have realized something, thanked Brother Gui, and then said goodbye.
He discussed Tao with six brothers and sisters in succession, starting with Brother Chen Changsheng and ending with Brother Gui Wuyan. He was like a mayfly looking at the blue sky, and glimpsed a corner of the infinite avenue mastered by the brothers and sisters.
This also benefited him a lot, and he accumulated a lot of insights, which needed to be slowly digested and thoroughly integrated into his own equal Tao.
His body no longer went out, closed the door, and completely retreated.
He was wholeheartedly enlightened and immersed in the development and improvement of the equal Tao.
Several months passed in a flash...
A few months in the outside world seemed as long as several reincarnations in Li Xiuchang's dream.
"Finally, I digested all the insights!"
A trace of vicissitudes appeared in Li Xiuchang's eyes.
The long-term enlightenment made him feel as if he was in another world.
"Wake up, I have only practiced for less than twelve years, and I am not yet thirty years old!" Li Xiuchang shook his head and got rid of the false "vicissitudes of life".
Even though he had been in the dream for many years, he had been enlightened in his dream, and he had not experienced any separations, changes in the world, etc. What was there to be vicissitudes of life?
It was equivalent to studying and doing questions all the time. Maybe he wanted to die a little because he had been studying for too long. This was normal.
"Today's equal way..." Li Xiuchang observed the manifestation of his heart of ten thousand ways, "It seems a bit too strong!"
His cultivation had been raised to the peak of refining emptiness without knowing it.
This means that his main cultivation of the "equal way" has been completed.
It is not just "great success", but "surpassing great success".
The great success of the main Dao is the minimum threshold for entering the peak of the Refining Void stage and having the qualification to impact the Hedao stage.
Li Xiuchang has already crossed this threshold and even sprinted 50 meters forward.
The so-called "great success" is not "graduation" of a Dao, it can even be said to be just the beginning.
Only when the Dao is integrated into the origin can it be regarded as mastering a qualified Dao, so "great success" is almost the same as just getting started.
Before the great success of the main Dao, it is equivalent to an amateur player.
Great success, integrated into the origin, is equivalent to "professional first stage", which is invincible among amateurs, but just starting out in the profession.
Li Xiuchang's current state is equivalent to having the strength of the second stage of the profession in advance, but has not had time to be rated as the first stage of the profession.
Next, he will start the "stage test", that is, to impact the Hedao stage!
