Now it is finally confirmed that Bai Xuan is not unable to become a saint, but is unwilling to become a saint.
The reason is most likely that Qingyi committed suicide.
The saddest thing for a saint is that the path to sainthood is blocked.
The ancient saints were fine. They practiced their own saintly path throughout their lives, but they did not have a strong desire to impose their saintly path on the entire world. They did not expand so quickly, so they did not encounter too many obstacles.
Later, hundreds of schools of thought emerged, and the first generation of saints of each school were keen on teaching, hoping to make their ideas benefit the world.
But his disciples later increasingly discovered his limitations. Although he became a saint and still accepted many disciples, he kept himself in seclusion. It was because the path to becoming a saint was blocked, so he could only teach in seclusion and wait for the birth of a new saint.
Qingyi obtained the art of painting by accident. Having witnessed too much injustice in the world, with innocent people dying tragically and evildoers going unpunished, and the so-called cause and effect retribution nowhere to be seen, he wanted to use his own magical powers to reshape the justice of heaven and earth. Therefore, based on the art of painting, he comprehended the art of reincarnation.
However, he never expected that he would unearth even more horrible things, and because he couldn't handle them, he could only commit suicide.
As Qingyi's close friend, Bai Xuan couldn't possibly be unaware of the dangers involved.
"Master, how can I abandon my selfish desires?"
Ying Wuji couldn't help but ask.
Bai Xuan stroked his dry white beard and asked, "Do you want to become a saint?"
Ying Wuji nodded: "Of course!"
Bai Xuan asked again: "Do you still want the dead to be resurrected and the family to be reunited?"
Ying Wuji grinned: "I want to! But I can't."
"So you want to give up your selfish desires?"
"yes……"
Bai Xuan sighed softly: "In fact, the method of abandoning selfish desires is very simple, you have seen it before!"
Ying Wuji asked: "What about Ji Dong's method?"
Tailoring the Self.
It is indeed possible to abandon selfish desires.
But is this the right approach?
Just as I thought before, can such a person still be considered a human being?
For the sake of the people of the world, turn yourself into a tool without any emotions?
Bai Xuan said leisurely: "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, they treat all things as straw dogs; saints are not benevolent, they treat the people as straw dogs. Everyone says that saints have no self in their hearts, so they can benefit the world with their saintly ways. Ji Dong also deeply believes this, so he did such an extreme thing.
But I ask you, if you have no desires in your heart, how can you understand the desires of all living beings?
If you lose the ability to sense the desires of sentient beings, then you have become a saint. Can such a saint still be called a saint?"
Ying Wuji was silent. He now felt that Bai Xuan was the person who knew Ji Dong best.
He thought for a moment and asked, "You mean... I shouldn't give up this part of my selfish desire?"
Bai Xuan waved his hand and smiled ashamedly: "If I really know everything, why would I wait for a hundred years? Wuji, do you know why I can live so long, and why I waited until the end of my life to see you?"
Ying Wuji said respectfully: "Please teach me, Master!"
Bai Xuan glanced at Hua Chao and said with emotion: "When Qing Yi committed suicide, she felt that fate played tricks on people and that all the learning of various schools of thought had limitations, so she wanted to use the art of reincarnation to re-establish justice between heaven and earth, but she never expected to unearth great terror.
But she still believed that since there was the art of reincarnation in the rules, it meant that there was a correct way to discover it, but she just didn’t discover it in the right way.”
Ying Wuji nodded slightly.
He had discovered before when he was at the end of Mingdu that there were too many rules in this world, and less than one percent of them could be discovered by humans.
Even fewer can be summarized as supernatural powers and passed down.
The art of Danqing's soul-transporting was originally a very niche magical power, but Qingyi unearthed the essence of living things.
If rules exist, there must be a reason for them.
However, the form that appears in the world requires repeated consideration by saints, otherwise it will cause catastrophe if one is not careful.
Bai Xuan continued, "Qing Yi feels that most of the suffering in the world comes from separation and death. Suffering breeds resentment, and resentment leads to disputes. At this time, a law dominated by the art of reincarnation is needed to balance good and evil.
But... she didn't understand what to do, so she sealed the art of reincarnation within her self and asked me to give it to the new saint using the art of Tianyan.
This may affect the new saints' entry into the Sainthood Path, but once the Sainthood Path is completed, the new order will surely be able to last longer, and the cohesive clan fortune will be more stable. "
Ying Wuji smiled bitterly: "So, Senior Qingyi thinks that I can dig out the art of reincarnation in the right way?"
Bai Xuan nodded.
Ying Wuji rubbed his stiff face and said, "Such a heaven-defying magical power was given to a selfish person like me to explore. They are afraid that I will make mistakes!"
Bai Xuan asked back: "If you hadn't met Hua Chao, wouldn't you be obsessed with the Danqing Soul Transfer Technique?"
Ying Wuji: “…”
Come to think of it, it’s true.
Whether there is Huachao or not, Danqing will join in teaching me and we will still meet.
It is inevitable to come into contact with the art of Danqing soul-crossing.
It is impossible for me not to be interested in this kind of cruel job that almost involves life and death. I may even go out of my way and develop this thing myself.
It seems that the current situation is actually the right way.
Bai Xuan sighed: "Everything is fate."
Ying Wuji nodded.
Bai Xuan raised his wrinkled eyelids and said, "Of course, Qing Yi knows that the art of reincarnation is dangerous, and even a new saint may be troubled by it. So before he died, he gave me a few years of life, so that I can wait for you today.
Although we two are dull and don't know what the future holds for the art of reincarnation, we are at least a few years older and can figure out some problems. If we can help you, we will help you more."
