Chapter 443: The Great Battle
“Although there are three thousand great ways in this world, the world of sects’ daoism is extremely narrow.”
"In order to ensure the independence of their own lineage and prevent it from being sorted out by the Dao Pillar, they will fabricate or even register various unique identities for themselves to strengthen the memory points and avoid confusion. Strange images like the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin are also one of the means."
Zhong Sanyuan pretended not to hear what Hong Muer had just interrupted and continued with his sigh.
"Everyone starts from the same starting point and ends at the same destination. Everyone wants to reach the end as quickly as possible. No one wants to go back to the original path in this race that started for no apparent reason, take a shortcut that others have taken, and look for a faster shortcut in the shortcut."
"A bunch of people are crowded on the same road. No matter how hard they try, they can't avoid getting close to each other."
"There are clearly three thousand great ways, but there are only about seventy super sects in the world."
Huang Shangshang didn't understand and wanted to ask, but she was Li Yanmo's outer sect senior sister after all. Wouldn't it embarrass Li Yanmo by suddenly asking something that seemed like common sense?
Miao Qianqian saw Huang Shangshang's dilemma, so she took the initiative to ask, "In addition to the super sects, there are also a large number of first-rate sects, and even countless second-rate and third-rate sects, there are millions of sects. Since the competition for the same path is so fierce and they cannot coexist, is there no sect trying to delve into those unexplored avenues?"
Miao Qianqian paused, took a deep breath and said slowly, "Is there no super sect that cultivates sects in order to explore and study those avenues that no one has explored?"
Zhong Sanyuan was stunned, then nodded with a smile, "Of course, some first-rate sects came from this way, but it is not easy to explore the mysteries of the Great Dao. My own Dao has not yet reached the end, so how can I have the ability to open up a brand new Great Dao, not to mention——"
Zhong Sanyuan paused and then smiled helplessly.
"The most taboo thing in this world is the idea of taking shortcuts. The idea of taking shortcuts for cultivators, who want to become immortals through cultivation, is putting the cart before the horse. They should make up for their foundation with diligence."
"I think that I should explore those new and uncharted roads. I also know that those roads are spacious and free, but I am unwilling to invest all my efforts, fearing that I will lose all my money and fall behind others in the original competition. I just want to get something for nothing."
"How can we open up a brand new avenue if we are so opportunistic? The Taoism of a first-class sect is the limit."
Miao Qianqian suddenly realized, "I've learned your lesson——"
Li Yanmo was also listening, but what he heard were the four words "all money lost and no return".
What is the most expensive thing in the world of cultivating immortals?
Refining medicine? Making weapons? Setting up a formation? Building an ancient cave?
Of course, they all have to cultivate a brand new Taoist school from scratch! That is not only difficult, it is simply a hell map, a real bottomless pit of burning money, and they have no idea how to make back the money, or even what it means to make back the money!
Li Yanmo pulled Zhuge Moer to a corner and said, "Old Five, I have an idea and I need your help."
Zhuge Moer's eyes lit up slightly, and after a light cough, he put his hands on his hips and said, "Master, go ahead and talk."
"From the perspective of Zhuge Liang's mechanical skills, is Dayu's Taoism good or bad for the world?"
Zhuge Moer raised his eyebrows slightly, "Master, you..."
Zhuge Moer was a little conflicted.
Li Yanmo directly said the word "reference", which means that the following conversation is to test her understanding and judgment of the situation in the universe. If she answers well, Li Yanmo will reveal more things. If she doesn't answer well, then... it may need further investigation.
"Just say it, don't think too much," Li Yanmo patted Zhuge Moer's shoulder to encourage him.
"This... Master, you also know that my Zhuge Mechanical Technique was taught by Ji Lie, so I also understand Dayu's plan for the universe. Dayu's plan is very sound, but the problem is that the cultivators who are the execution units are very uncontrollable," Zhuge Moer said slowly after a pause, "There are three thousand great ways in the world, which complement each other and maintain balance, and these three thousand great ways maintain this universe."
"But Master, you also know that the cultivation method of a cultivator will have an impact on the universe, and the most direct impact is on the Great Dao."
"A cultivator becomes an immortal not by comprehending the great Dao of heaven and earth, but by forming a small world within his body with his own Dao as the core."
"When this small world has withstood enough heavenly tribulations and becomes a part of the great universe, the cultivator will be able to become an immortal, and the Dao in his small world will naturally become a part of the Three Thousand Great Daos."
"But therein lies the problem. The cultivators did not create a brand new avenue out of thin air. Instead, they first comprehended it and then made adjustments based on their own circumstances. This situation caused several of the three thousand avenues to continue to grow, destroying the original balance of the three thousand avenues."
"The world has already encountered various problems due to the Great Wilderness Disaster. Uh... to put it in an analogy, the current situation is like frantically supplementing a certain aspect of nutrition for a malnourished patient who has just recovered from a serious illness, while completely ignoring the other aspects."
"The Taoist traditions of those seventy or so super sects are already fully mature. As long as they are willing, they can produce semi-immortals steadily. This will allow the great way corresponding to their Taoist traditions to continue to grow stronger. Sooner or later, the rules of this universe will be completely disrupted and destroyed."
Zhuge Moer stuck out his tongue.
"If it really comes to that, we can only cut the Gordian knot and kill all the immortals in this world. This way we can maintain balance."
"Or..." Li Yanmo stretched out his hands and pinched Zhuge Moer's face, pulling it to both sides, "to expand the more than 2,000 avenues that have been ignored."
Zhuge Moer first said "oh" and blinked her eyes. After a few seconds of pause, her clever brain finally came to her senses and her eyes bulged.
"Master, what did you say?"
"Nurture the other two thousand avenues," Li Yanmo raised his hand to hook Zhuge Moer's neck, raised his finger to the sky, "Think about it, Lao Wu, there are more than two thousand gold mines that no one has mined, no... they are super spiritual mines!"
"Time waits for no one. We should start digging as soon as possible to take the lead. This way, we will be able to have... more than 2,000 super sects in the future!"
Being able to spend money and protect the world at the same time, how can there be such a good thing in this world!
Zhuge Moer coughed heavily with a strange expression.
Although it may sound a bit disrespectful to think this way, Li Yanmo's current expression is really like those big liars.
"Master, do you know how many spirit stones and energy this will cost?"
"...I have spiritual stones," Li Yanmo paused, leaned over and whispered in Zhuge Moer's ear, "I have top-grade spiritual stones, in pieces, not in total value."
"Master, how much do you have? Hundreds of millions? So arrogant?" Zhuge Moer raised his eyes and flicked his nails nonchalantly.
"We just sent 900 billion to Dayu not long ago."
Zhuge Moer's legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees.
