"please!"
Fairy Ping laughed loudly and waved her hand gently. In the blink of an eye, the three of them were already at the pavilion three hundred years ago.
Seeing such strength, Lin Yu couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
You know, now he has already reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor. However, even so, he could not realize how Fairy Ping made her move.
This old fellow's strength has probably long surpassed the scope of common sense. He is truly worthy of being a figure at the level of Tianzun.
In the library, Lin Yu also saw records about Fairy Ping.
Although this person is not one of the nine great celestial masters.
But according to some rumors, some people say that he is a person from the last era.
At the same time, its most powerful method is not the method of the Daozu Era at all.
His cultivation is at least at the same level as the nine great celestial masters.
...
...
"Hu Sun, I will play chess with Fellow Daoist Lin next. Watch carefully and learn from him!"
After sitting down, Fairy Ping spoke seriously to Hu Sun who was standing beside her.
Hearing this, Hu Sun dared not act recklessly, and quickly responded: "Teacher, rest assured, I will watch carefully and learn well."
Lin Yu also smiled and said, "Don't worry too much, my chess skills are just so-so."
Fairy Ping shook her head and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, I think you are good in every way, except that you must change your self-deprecating habit."
"If your chess skills are only so-so, then my chess skills are nothing but lousy, right?"
Lin Yu laughed and said, "Of course not. If anyone dares to say that my chess skills are terrible, I will be the first one to disagree."
"Haha, fellow Taoist, you are too modest!" Fairy Ping laughed.
Then, the two of them continued the game that was not completed last time.
The last time the two of them played chess, the situation on the chessboard had entered a state of tense equilibrium.
In such a situation, anyone could win.
Therefore, neither of them dared to take any risks now, and instead they became calmer.
Fairy Ping chose to stick to her existing advantages, while Lin Yu continued to look for opportunities in every corner of the chess game.
In short, this time, even after the game had been played for dozens of moves, there was still no obvious change in the situation for both sides.
"My friend, you are so calm, but it is somewhat inconsistent with your previous style of chess!" Fairy Ping said with a smile.
"Isn't it the same for you, my fellow Daoist? I just learned this from you!"
Hearing this, Fairy Ping could only say helplessly: "Daoyou, why don't we stop here today!"
"In my opinion, it's hard to tell who's the winner between you and me for now!"
"In that case, how about we discuss the Dao?"
Lin Yu also agreed with Fairy Ping's words: "Daoyou, what you said makes sense."
"Compared to playing chess, discussing the Dao is indeed more challenging, but it is also more useful to both of us. After all, one can learn from others' experience."
"This is a very good saying. Fellow Daoist is indeed an extraordinary person!" Fairy Ping said with a smile.
"Since we are discussing Taoism, may I ask, fellow Taoist, what do you think about the current way of cultivation?" Lin Yu asked.
Although he agreed to discuss Taoism with Fairy Ping, Lin Yu, adhering to the principle that a thief never leaves empty-handed, asked questions first.
Moreover, to be honest, if we look at it purely from a theoretical perspective, Lin Yu has the upper hand.
You know, this Fairy Ping is at the same level as the Nine Heavenly Lords.
Being able to discuss Taoism with him will definitely be of great help to Lin Yu in creating true Confucianism in the future.
When Fairy Ping heard Lin Yu ask this, she knew she was being tricked, but she was not angry. Instead, she said generously:
"The current way of cultivation, starting from Qi training, to foundation building, golden elixir, Nascent Soul... all the way to the quasi-saint and even the saint realm I am in now, were all created by the Taoist Ancestor."
"Back then, when Daozu Zixiao Palace was preaching, he once said that there are three thousand great ways in the world and eight hundred side ways, and all of them can lead to enlightenment."
"However, the foundation of this enlightenment is the way of cultivation. After all, if you can't even cultivate, how can you talk about enlightenment?"
"However, the foundation of today's cultivation is spiritual energy, or the spiritual energy of the immortals. Without these two, no matter how talented you are, you will not be able to cultivate."
"But, spiritual energy comes from heaven and earth after all. Although spiritual energy between heaven and earth is not very scarce, it is limited after all. One day, spiritual energy or immortal spiritual energy will be exhausted."
"And, if there is no spiritual energy, the current way of cultivation will be useless."
"Moreover, from a developmental perspective, the current way of cultivation is actually imperfect. In other words, this way of cultivation is actually a way that goes against the will of heaven, and it is also a way that harms heaven and earth in order to benefit oneself!"
"Daoyou, I wonder if you understand?"
Fairy Ping talked eloquently and said a lot in a short period of time.
And what he said is extremely close to the essence.
When Lin Yu heard what he said, it was as if he had grasped something all of a sudden, and countless inspirations flashed through his mind.
The Confucian and Taoist practice methods that had never been formed are now becoming clearer and clearer.
After hearing Fairy Ping's question, Lin Yu blurted out:
"I understand. If we want to establish a new cultivation system, we must break free from the shackles of borrowing spiritual energy and immortal spirit energy!"
"As the saying goes, Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman should constantly strive to improve himself. Isn't that right?"
Lin Yu laughed as he spoke, and at the same time, the cultivation he had gained through practicing the immortal spirit began to dissipate. In contrast, the extra great spirit in his body after reading all the books in the library began to take over Lin Yu's inner world.
The most important thing is that these great energies began to form an internal circulation in Lin Yu's body.
In short, although there is not a trace of immortal spirit in Lin Yu's body, his cultivation has not actually disappeared, but has been transformed into Confucian and Taoist cultivation.
As for what realm it is, Lin Yu still needs to determine it himself.
The Confucian and Taoist practice he newly created has completely deviated from the Taoist practice system.
It is different from the practice of immortality, which requires absorbing spiritual energy and comprehending the heaven and earth.
The practice of Confucianism and Taoism is to cultivate oneself.
By increasing knowledge, one can generate great righteousness, and then practice magical writing to continuously temper the great righteousness and increase one's cultivation.
Of course, this is still a rather vague road.
Although Lin Yu himself has broken free from the shackles of immortality, it is actually because he has the books of Confucianism and Taoism. It will probably take a long time before the true Confucian and Taoist practice comes into being.
However, the current level is already remarkable.
As the saying goes, all things are difficult at the beginning, and Lin Yu has now started this journey.
"Congratulations, fellow Taoist! Congratulations, fellow Taoist!"
