Bai Cang tilted his head slightly, looking at the Great God Zhou Yin with a calm expression, his eyes filled with a hint of doubt.
When I type a question mark, it doesn't mean I have a problem.
Instead, I think you have a serious problem, a really big problem.
If the other party doesn't offer a reasonable explanation, but instead just habitually hurl insults and makes sarcastic remarks, then...
Bai Cang decided to slightly violate his principle of not holding grudges: he would beat this mink's poop out!
"With each tribulation you overcome, a trace of the Netherworld's essence will merge into your body."
Seeing Bai Cang's "kind" expression, the Great God of Zhouyin felt a chill run down his spine for no reason, and quickly explained: "Every time you integrate a trace of the Netherworld Origin, your physique will become closer to the Netherworld."
If you cannot conceal your vitality, these dark origins will reduce your lifespan, transforming it into a yin lifespan, and simultaneously extinguish your vitality.
However, if you can conceal your life force well enough, you can deceive everyone and get closer to death, avoiding extremely dangerous calamities and increasing your chances of surviving.
Hearing this, Bai Cang turned his head and said, "Remember to speak properly next time. I have a bad temper, so I apologize in advance."
Next time you try to pull any tricks, see if I don't smash your head in!
They were clearly trying to offer advice, but they insisted on saying it in a sarcastic and insinuating way.
What kind of bad habit is this?
Even I, a Taoist priest, know to speak politely when I need someone's help.
What? You're saying I'm planning to take advantage of him for free?
Since the Great God Zhouyin doesn't know about it anyway, it's as if he didn't get it for free.
If anyone dares to slander me.
Then I'll have to tell my teacher's wife and let her whisper sweet nothings in his ear.
You'd better think carefully about whether you can withstand the beatings of a henpecked, chauvinistic man!
"call!"
As he was thinking this, the omnipresent sense of death suddenly became even stronger.
A shriek rang out, and the howling, chilling wind made the pitch-black Ghost Gate passage even more gloomy and dark.
Countless gusts of cold wind howled in, like thousands of whirlpools, rushing from all directions toward Bai Cang's location.
Along the way, countless vengeful spirits and ghosts, which had just materialized from the void, were swept up by the dark whirlwind.
Before it even had a chance to let out a mournful wail, it had already transformed into a sinister deathly aura, amplifying the power of the howling wind.
"You kid, your luck is really something..."
While Zhou Yin was still pondering why Bai Cang had apologized to him in advance, he subconsciously wanted to say a few words.
But suddenly, the image of Bai Cang and his kind heart appeared before his eyes, causing him to quickly change his words and say, "This is the Nine Nether Wind, the most common calamity in the Gates of Hell."
Almost every moment, they appear out of thin air and roar across the heavens and earth; any evil spirit or ghost that touches them dies instantly.
Even we great deities, if we were not protected by the Netherworld Divine Register, would have our primordial spirits scattered and our true spirits annihilated by the constant blowing of the Netherworld winds, turning into ashes and vanishing into nothingness.
However, this Netherworld Wind usually only appears in the middle section of the Gates of Hell.
It's quite rare to encounter someone like you right after walking in.
As he spoke, a dark seal appeared between the eyebrows of the Great God Zhou Yin, emitting a mysterious light that enveloped him.
The dark winds from all directions seemed to ignore him, and instead howled and swept towards Bai Cang.
Seeing this scene.
Bai Cang raised his palm and slashed, unleashing thousands of dazzling blade lights.
Like a sharp blade capable of cleaving the heavens, it pierced into the endless black whirlwind, unleashing a series of explosive booms.
But in the next instant, the Nine Nether Wind merely split into more tiny whirlwinds, which continued to sweep across without stopping.
However, the thousands of sword lights that Bai Cang unleashed were constantly diminished in the process and eventually worn away into nothingness.
Instead, it was transformed into a chilling deathly aura, merging into countless dark whirlwinds.
The yin winds blowing from the netherworld gained an added edge of fierceness.
Upon seeing this, Bai Cang's gaze turned serious.
At the same time, the voice of the Great God Zhouyin rose again, but this time it was unusually serious.
"There are countless tribulations in the gates of hell, and the Nine Netherworld Wind is one of the most effective ones."
If you can fully adapt to the winds of the Nine Netherworlds, it will be of great benefit in helping you avoid future calamities.
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang, who had originally planned to use other methods, was shocked.
He immediately "entered the game himself," letting the howling, eerie winds of the underworld sweep him in.
The so-called "wind disaster" is one of the three disasters.
This is one of the important "achievements" of the transformation of the cultivation system after the Middle Ages.
Before ancient times, the first realm of the primordial spirit was "incarnation", followed by "Dharma body", "merging with the Dao", "pure yang", "immortality", and "creation".
These six realms are the six realms of the primordial spirit, together with the "nine levels of Qi cultivation" before attaining the primordial spirit, and are collectively referred to as: the nine levels and six realms.
After the dynastic change in the Middle Ages, both the cultivation system before and after the primordial spirit stage underwent earth-shattering changes.
Leaving aside the period before reaching the primordial spirit stage, Bai Cang has almost completed all the stages.
After the Primordial Spirit, the first realm is: "Longevity Dao Lord", meaning long life and immortality, the ruler of the Dao, who can obtain endless lifespan.
Whether they are celestial immortals, earth immortals, or wandering immortals, they are all at the level of "Longevity Dao Lord".
Then he must overcome the "Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations", hence he is also known as the "Calamity and Tribulation Lord".
The Heavenly Phoenix believed that cultivation was about "seizing the creation of heaven and earth and encroaching on the mysteries of the sun and moon." Therefore, after attaining the primordial spirit, one had to overcome calamities and repay the karmic debts of heaven and earth before one could advance further.
The so-called Nine Tribulations are all thunder tribulations, which can also be regarded as the "thunder disaster" among the Three Calamities, and are divided into nine times.
The number of tribulations varies from the first nine heavenly tribulations to the ninth nine heavenly tribulations, hence the name "Nine Tribulations." Each tribulation requires enduring nine divine lightning strikes.
Those who survive the tribulation will live as long as the heavens; those who fail will perish and return to the heavens.
Having survived the nine tribulations, one can be considered to have escaped the "thunder calamity," or be called the "Nine Tribulations Dao Lord," or the "One Calamity Dao Lord."
I've heard that there's a difference between the "Nine Tribulations Dao Lord" and the "One Calamity Dao Lord".
However, Bai Cang had not reached that level of understanding, so he did not fully comprehend the intricacies involved.
The second of the three calamities is fire.
This fire is neither heavenly fire nor ordinary fire; it is called 'yin fire'.
The fire started from the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of the foot, burning straight through to the Niyuan Palace, turning the five internal organs to ash and the four limbs to decay, rendering the thousand years of arduous practice futile.
The third disaster was a windstorm.
This wind is neither the wind from the southeast, northwest, nor the gentle north wind, nor the wind blowing through flowers, willows, pines, and bamboos; it is called the 'Bi Wind'.
The medicine is blown into the six internal organs through the fontanelle, passes through the dantian, and penetrates the nine orifices, causing the bones and flesh to dissolve and the body to dissolve on its own.
A Taoist once said: Cultivating the Tao is difficult, cultivating the Great Tao is even more difficult. Life and death are unpredictable. One can only contend with the Tao and with Heaven. If one wins, one will attain enlightenment; if one loses, one will be reduced to ashes.
Generally speaking, the Calamity Dao Lords are considered to be at the same level as the Primordial Spirit and Dharma Body.
However, this is not a straightforward comparison of strengths.
Are the strengths of a First Tribulation Dao Lord and a Third Calamity Dao Lord on the same level?
Moreover, many primordial spirits and spiritual bodies who attained enlightenment through ancient methods may never be able to merge with the Dao throughout their entire lives.
However, those who survive the Nine Tribulations and escape the Three Calamities have a very high probability of merging with the Great Dao and advancing to the level of "Golden Immortal".
If one believes they cannot survive the next tribulation, they can enter the Netherworld and receive the protection of the Netherworld Phoenix Talisman, delaying the arrival of the tribulation and continuing to accumulate merit.
As long as you can repay your "debts" and have the confidence to overcome the remaining tribulations, you can ask Minghuang for "redemption".
This is the immense advantage of the ancient primordial spirit, which is far superior to that of the modern Daoist Lord.
As for those who have attained the Dao, they become the masters of the Dao, revered as ancestors, and no longer need to distinguish between modern and ancient methods.
Every Dao-Merging being is an immortal and indestructible existence, the foundation of the universe, the pillar of all heavens, and revered by all realms!
Surprisingly, the Nine Netherworld Winds are beneficial for escaping the "Wind Disaster," the last of the Three Calamities.
Even if it only increases the success rate by one ten-thousandth.
Bai Cang felt he had to give it a try.
If you can do it, at least give it a try!
