Chapter 1906 Following one's heart is also a form of practice
"Transcend the ordinary and become a saint..."
I kept repeating these four words, then looked at the old master and asked, "Then the saints of the human race back then were in this realm?"
"Yes." The old master nodded, smiled and continued, "However, it is not so easy to be a saint. This fourth stage is just the possibility of becoming a saint, or in other words, the qualification to become a saint. But to become a saint, you need an extremely mysterious and extremely important condition!"
"What condition?" I asked almost subconsciously.
But what I never expected was that the old master actually shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
"Not only me, but also many predecessors have failed to find the conditions for becoming a saint. Only the saint of my human race succeeded in becoming a saint, but he did not say what the condition was. Presumably, at that level, even if he said it, others would not be able to hear it, because it belongs to the law of heaven, and people who do not have their own understanding cannot hear it!"
I frowned when I heard the words of the old master, but then I suddenly thought of the time when I was exiled into the unknown space by the Jade Void Rabbit and met the evil god from the ancient times.
He said that in order to become a god, the faith of other creatures is needed. Only when the power of faith and the wishes of all living beings are combined can a mortal creature be comparable to a god.
My pupils suddenly shrank when I thought of this, and I murmured in my heart: "Could it be that... the condition for becoming a saint is... the faith and will of all living beings?"
I suddenly became excited, and raised my head suddenly, wanting to tell the old Taoist priest my guess, but the old Taoist priest suddenly shook his head at me, as if he saw through my thoughts, and said with a smile: "Qian Yu, you should have thought of something, right? Don't try Tu said to me, because even if you said it, I couldn't hear it. I am old, and I haven't reached the point of mastering authority. You have experienced the heavenly tribulation as a mortal, and you have realized the authority of divine punishment. But I am not like you who are from the lineage of the Yin people. Your skills have their own authority. In this world, only you have such privileges. This is why, from ancient times to the present, the Yin people have been particularly respected. "
"So that's it!" I nodded secretly, thinking to myself, no wonder I could understand what the evil god said to me, it turned out that it was because I had mastered the authority.
"I just don't know which of the four stages the old master is in now? The second stage? It should be like this!" I nodded secretly. The old master said that in the second stage, it is to feel the changes of heaven and earth as much as possible, and to integrate oneself into this world as much as possible.
However, I guess the old master is not far from the legendary earthly immortal.
Moreover, although the old master is in the second stage, he has already begun to feel the way of heaven, so it should be a sure thing for the old master to break through to the third stage and become an earthly immortal.
"What stage am I in now?"
According to the record of the Dragon Slaying Skill, I am in the second stage and have just cultivated the Glazed Body to perfection.
According to the old master, I should also be in the second stage, but I have mastered the authority in advance, and authority is something that can only be comprehended in the fourth stage, so I am so special.
This is also why, even if the spiritual energy is revived, I can still fight against the demons whose combat power is constantly rising.
I can even kill people above my level!
I took a deep breath, then looked at the old master and said, "Senior, what stage are my master and my senior sister in?"
"Hehe!" In response, the old master just smiled faintly and said, "Your master and I are almost the same, we are at the same stage. Your senior sister is a little worse, but she is also in this stage. However... I have said before that each of us has a different perception of the way of heaven, and the rules of operation of this heaven and earth are different in everyone's eyes. Therefore, our direction of practice is also different."
"Then... whose direction is more powerful?" I asked curiously.
The old master shook his head: "There is no difference between strong and weak, what exists is only the depth of perception."
I pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Junior generation understands."
"Qian Yu, you came here, I guess you have something to tell me?" The old master tucked the book in his hand into the blanket, looked at me and asked with a smile.
Hearing this, I nodded, and after organizing some words in my mind, I was about to speak, but the old Taoist priest smiled and spoke before me: "Qian Yu, if you are really determined about some things, then just do it. What is cultivation? Sharpening your mind is cultivation, living a good life in the world is cultivation. Tempering yourself in difficulties is still cultivation, and following your own heart... is also cultivation!"
"Follow your own heart..."
This sentence was like a thunder, exploding in my mind, shaking me all over, and at the same time, a huge wave was set off in my heart.
"Follow your own heart, follow your own heart..."
I kept repeating this sentence, feeling the meaning and power contained in this sentence, and then suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to the old Taoist priest.
"Qian Yu understands, thank you for clearing up my doubts, old master!"
"Go ahead, do what you want to do." The old master sighed: "It's great to be young!"
This sentence was full of emotion in the old master's words, as if he still had this nostalgia for his youth.
The old master always appears in front of the world with an unfathomable image, but we all overlook one point.
That is, the old master was also young, and he also had a woman of his own choice, and maybe he had a passionate love. After all, he is also a mortal with flesh and blood, love and hate...
"Senior, what should I do if the demons continue to invade the human world after I leave?" I didn't leave, but suddenly asked.
"Haha, don't worry, I'm here, your master is here, and there are many human race masters here."
"Then...should I report my departure to His Majesty?" I asked again.
The old Taoist priest shook his head and said, "As children of the Jianghu, you should be more carefree. If you want to leave, just leave. Why bother so much!"
I laughed after hearing what the old Taoist priest said.
Yes, I am a child of the Jianghu, I dare to love and hate, I am carefree and unrestrained. Why should I be so cautious when doing things?
Just do it if you want to!
Only in this way can I truly follow my heart!
I bowed deeply to the old Taoist priest, then smiled, turned around and strode out of the hall.
