Chapter 424 The Function of the Four Pillars
It was the first time that Li Yanmo heard that Dayu's Taoism had such a miraculous effect on the universe, and he was amazed.
Nuyao seemed a little dissatisfied with Li Yanmo's reaction, "I clearly told you before that cultivators can affect the operation of the universe."
"Yes, is there?"
"No, no?" After being asked this by Li Yanmo, Nuyao became a little unconfident.
"So, apart from the Six Paths Sect, other super sects of Dayu's Taoist tradition are responsible for the operation of a certain part of the universe through the Taoist Pillars?" After successfully scaring the female demon, Li Yanmo pinched his chin and thought about the Taoist traditions of other super sects. It's a pity that not all super sects' names are as simple and clear as the Six Paths Sect.
But Lily Jiang's next words shocked Li Yanmo so much that he stood up.
"Not all super sects, but... all sects."
Lily Jiang raised her finger and said calmly, “The Taoist sects of millions of sects, even those that are not in the mainstream, are using the Taoist pillars to sort out and calibrate the operation of the universe.”
Li Yanmo swallowed subconsciously, but soon realized, "Because, now all the cultivators are from Dayu's lineage? To be precise, every cultivator from Dayu's lineage is using the Dao Pillars to sort out and calibrate the operation of the universe. The sect's lineage is just classifying these cultivators to improve the efficiency of calibration?"
"That's right~" Lily Jiang flicked her pipe, "Dayu originally wanted to sort out and calibrate the operation of the universe on his own, but after actual operation, he found that it was not realistic at all, so he took the initiative to promote the birth of Dayu Sect."
"Things that are beneficial to the universe will be preserved, and those that are harmful to the universe will be destroyed without mercy. We will try and improve step by step, and Dayu's criteria for judging what is beneficial and harmful is..."
Li Yanmo nodded and said simply, "Will it affect the people of the world?"
"That's right. The people are the roots of the dynasty. Only good roots can bear good fruits. The world has long been ruined by the disaster of the Great Wilderness. If we want to repair the damage caused by the monks, it can only be filled by the monks, and the monks come from the people," Jiang Baili shook her head and sighed, "This was their original idea, and it was also their only choice when they had no choice."
"But balance... well, it's not a question of balance. Because the Immortal Palace was secretly making trouble, the Dao Sect gradually separated from Dayu and lost the supplies from the millions of Dao Sects. The Imperial State that maintained the Dao Pillar was becoming increasingly exhausted. But fortunately, these Dao Sects and Daoist traditions did not lose the ability to sort out and calibrate the operation of the universe due to the influence of the Immortal Palace, and each performed their duties."
Lily Jiang paused and added, “Normally, this matter must not be told to anyone, but considering your current status and importance to Dayu, it’s okay to tell you. After all, you just sent 900 billion pieces of top-grade spirit stones not long ago.”
Li Yanmo crossed his arms and nodded, "I see, no wonder Dayu is so tolerant of the sect."
Lily Jiang curled her lips and said, "Tolerance has its limits. Not everyone thinks like you that transcendence is just a waste of time. Once it is left alone for a long time, those cultivators will gradually become perverted and empty due to their long lifespans, and pursue transcendence for unknown reasons."
"The existence of cultivators is always a hidden danger, so Dayu's ultimate goal is to sort out all the hidden dangers left by the Great Wilderness, and then start to separate the cultivators from the people of the world, and restore to the state before the birth of the cultivation method."
"It's a pity that the influence of cultivators on the people is too great. Although they haven't turned the people into a mess like in the Great Wilderness, it's not a good sign that the people revere the cultivators and think that everything can be solved by cultivating them."
"I heard Ji Lie say something similar about this matter," Li Yanmo recalled the conversation with Ji Lie at the tomb of Emperor Lie, "He believes that the existence of cultivators hinders the growth and progress of the people of Dayu."
“Ah… these Yu emperors are like this. Compared with lofty goals, they are more interested in the things in front of them,” Lily Jiang pinched the bridge of her nose, as if she was reminiscing, or as if she had a headache because of the stubbornness of some people.
"You can't always think about saving the world. Goals that are too lofty and ambitious will corrupt a person's will and tempt those who embark on this path to take shortcuts. The consequences of taking shortcuts can never be solved by taking shortcuts."
"Everything must be repaired brick by brick, step by step, and the people are the bricks and tiles that rebuild the new world."
Li Yanmo nodded with deep understanding, but Li Yanmo remembered another thing, "Then what happened with Jianmen...will it have any impact on the world?"
"The Sword Gate itself is not a big deal. The problem is that the Sword Gate will gather a large number of sword cultivators, and the sword cultivators will activate the abandoned sword pillars. The sword pillars and the soldier pillars have similar functions, but the underlying logic of their operation is different. If they are embedded in the operation of the universe at the same time, they will repel each other and even get out of control. For example..."
Lily Jiang thought for a while, then raised her finger and pointed at her eyes, smiling.
"Maybe you don't know, actually..."
"The immune system of the eyeball and the immune system of the body are completely independent. If the body's immune system discovers the existence of the eyeball, it will directly attack and destroy the eyeball," Li Yanmo raised his finger and bent it.
Lily Jiang opened her mouth, showing a rare deflated expression, “I finally had the opportunity to come up with this theory.”
Li Yanmo ignored Jiang Baili and paced back and forth to continue analyzing, "The Dao Pillar is responsible for reproduction, and the Soldier Pillar is responsible for cleaning. In other words, the Buddha Pillar and the Holy Pillar also undertake some extremely primitive but important mechanisms-"
Li Yanmo paused, "Then why can there only be four pillars?"
"Have you forgotten? Cultivators are meant to take shortcuts. Even if their original intentions are good, they cannot change the fact that they are using the power of cultivators to influence the world. Therefore, the four pillars are the limit number that will not cause the world to counterattack," Jiang Baili raised her hand and waved, "Now Dayu will let it go and promote the Jianmen incident here."
"The sword pillar has been broken. Even if the sword gate is erected again, it will not affect the soldier pillar itself."
Li Yanmo suddenly realized, which means it doesn’t matter if his Taixu Sect is exposed?
Of course, Li Yanmo didn't intend to cause trouble. It would be better to keep the matter of Taixu Sect secret if possible.
"So, after asking for so long, you have discovered that there is someone who is actually a cultivator of the Great Wilderness Taoist Sect," Jiang Baili turned sideways, looking in the direction of the wooden house.
Jian Xin, who was drinking tea, raised his eyes but said nothing.
"It's definitely not the Six Paths Sect, nor the Lieyang Sect, Tianchi Mountain, or the Immortal Valley... It looks like it's the Cangtian Sword Sect."
Lily Jiang laughed.
