Chapter 141 The Secret Of Merit, Heavenly Dao Saint!
Chapter 141 The Secret of Merit, Heavenly Dao Saint!
Fuxi has successfully reincarnated, and Empress Nuwa was relieved because she was going to return to Wa Palace immediately.
His elder brother just reincarnated smoothly, and after a while, he will be born in the human race, but this is just the beginning.
His elder brother upholds the general trend of the way of heaven. After being born in the human race, he has to help the human race to prosper, so that he can successfully achieve enlightenment.
This process is not short, and it is not destined to be smooth sailing. Naturally, she has to watch the whole process to prevent any accidents from happening.
But at this moment, Taiqing Saint's disciple wanted to take her to visit the six realms of reincarnation, which made her a little surprised.
If there are famous mountains and great rivers, it can also be said that Li Changsheng wanted to show her around personally out of courtesy.
But where is the Six Paths of Reincarnation? This is the place of reincarnation, what is there to visit?
Moreover, as a Saint, since she has come to the six realms of reincarnation, she can naturally have a panoramic view of all six realms of reincarnation in just one thought.
But also because of this, she knew that since Li Changsheng wanted to take her on a tour of the six realms of reincarnation, there must be some reason.
"Six Paths of Reincarnation is indeed the greatest good fortune after Pangu Great God Opening Heaven opened up the earth. I have longed for it, and this time I just watched it!" Nuwa Empress said.
Her elder brother Fuxi had just reincarnated, and there was still some time before he was born into the human race, so she was in no rush to return to Wa Palace.
She really wanted to know what kind of intentions Taiqing Saint's disciples deliberately had in keeping her behind.
The ancestor of Houtu smiled and said nothing. Li Changsheng wanted to take Nuwa Empress to visit the six realms of reincarnation, but she didn't follow.
She could also see that Li Changsheng did this deliberately, there must be some intentions, and it might be inappropriate for her to be by the side.
Under the leadership of Li Changsheng, the two walked through the ghost gate, crossed the Huangquan Road, and crossed the Naihe Bridge.
When Saint traveled, the weather was naturally extraordinary. Hearing the sound, Yama of the Ten Temples arrived, and all of them stood tremblingly to welcome Saint.
Speaking of which, the ten halls of Yan Luo in the Six Paths of Reincarnation are all held by the strong Wu clan, so naturally they are no strangers to Nuwa Empress.
Along the way, Li Changsheng basically introduced the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and occasionally mentioned some allusions, just like a tour guide.
Empress Nuwa couldn't help but wondered if she was overthinking. Could it be that Li Changsheng took her to visit the Six Realms of Reincarnation just out of politeness?
"How does Saint observe the six reincarnations?" Li Changsheng suddenly asked after walking past Wangxiang Terrace.
He took Nuwa Empress to visit the Six Realms of Reincarnation. Naturally, he couldn't just be out of politeness, but had other purposes.
However, this matter needs some foreshadowing. Taking Nuwa Empress to visit the Six Realms of Reincarnation is actually foreshadowing for this moment.
"Six Paths of Reincarnation is the place where souls reincarnate and reincarnate, and now it has become an indispensable part of the prehistoric world, and its importance is self-evident.
Moreover, from my point of view, in these six reincarnations, immeasurable merits and virtues are condensed, and it is indeed a place of good fortune! "Nvwa Empress said.
As a Saint, she visited the Six Realms of Reincarnation herself, so she naturally has enough knowledge of the Six Realms of Reincarnation.
What she said did not float on the surface, but pointed directly at the core of the Six Paths of Samsara, and spoke out the most important aspects of the Six Paths of Samsara.
"Saint said every word! The importance of the six reincarnations is self-evident, and it is precisely because of this that immeasurable merits can be gathered here!
Saint should know that once this merit is increased, it will naturally attract people's eyes. In the eyes of many living beings, this is a sweet treat! said Li Changsheng.
As Empress Nuwa said, the six realms of reincarnation have become an indispensable part of the prehistoric world, and this is also the greatest creation after the creation of the earth by the Great God of Pangu, Opening Heaven.
Not to mention how important the Six Paths of Reincarnation itself is, just the merits and virtues condensed in the Six Paths of Reincarnation are enough to make any creature greedy.
There is merit in maintaining the stability of the six realms of reincarnation, there is merit in detaining dead souls, there is merit in judging dead souls, and there is merit in reincarnating dead souls
It is no exaggeration to say that from the moment of death of a living being to the reincarnation of the dead soul, merits and virtues accompany it.
A living being may have very little merit, but in the six realms of reincarnation, countless dead souls enter every moment.
This also means that in the six circles of reincarnation, merit is being generated all the time, and after accumulating over time, what a huge merit this is.
"It's indeed immeasurable merit! But you know, merit is not omnipotent, and it doesn't mean that the more merit the better!" Empress Nuwa said.
In the prehistoric world, if it is said who has gained the most merit, she considers herself the second, and there is absolutely no creature who dares to admit that she is the first.
The creation of the human race received immeasurable merits from heaven, and finally proved the Tao and sanctified in one fell swoop, and then smelted stones to mend the sky, and also gained immeasurable merits.
Because of this, if she has no right to speak in terms of merit, then other creatures will have no right to speak.
"This junior really doesn't know about this, so I hope Saint can enlighten me!" Li Changsheng asked.
When the Suiren clan, Youchao clan and Ziyi clan became enlightened, he also gained some merit, but he didn't use the merit to improve his cultivation.
Later, from the mouth of Tiandi Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda, he realized that merit is not omnipotent, but has limitations.
However, in his view, even if merit has limitations, the importance of merit is still self-evident.
Moreover, in his cognition, when many living beings become enlightened, they have obtained immeasurable merits and virtues, so that they can achieve enlightenment in one fell swoop.
Among other things, for example, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors who will lead the great prosperity of the human race, which of them didn't gain immeasurable merits and virtues, and finally finally became enlightened in one fell swoop.
But listening to the meaning of Nuwa Empress's words, there is some discrepancy with his cognition, and there may be secrets hidden in it that he doesn't know.
"Take us Saints as an example, we have gained immeasurable merits when we became sanctified, so many living beings think that we are sanctified because of our merits.
In fact, this is not the case. First of all, we have reached the level of cultivation and realm, and we have done things that are recognized by the Dao of Heaven, only then can we prove the Dao and become an emperor.
The boundless merits and virtues descended by the Dao of Heaven are actually a kind of recognition, and the amount of merits and virtues is actually the degree of Dao of Heaven's recognition of us! "Nvwa Empress said.
In her explanation, merit comes from the way of heaven, and the way of heaven sends down merit, in fact, it is the living beings who have done things that are beneficial to the heaven and the earth.
For example, she created the human race, for example, the three Qings established their own teachings, explained teachings and cut teachings, and they have made great contributions to the world.
Whether there are more or less merits from the Heavenly Dao actually represents how much help you have done to the Heaven and Earth.
If the help is great, like them Saints, they will be recognized by the heavens and the earth, and thus have the opportunity to take over the authority of the heavens and the earth.
Because of this, after they became sanctified, they were also called the Saints of Heaven, because they could wield great authority of Heaven.
Merits can be accumulated slowly, as long as you keep doing things that benefit the world, your own merits will gradually increase.
However, the authority of heaven cannot be accumulated. The amount of authority of heaven originally held will not increase because of the increase of one's own merit.
"So that's it! I didn't expect such a mystery to exist in merit!" Li Changsheng exclaimed.
What Empress Nuwa said seemed very complicated, but upon closer inspection, it was actually very simple.
In short, when a creature has done something, it has been recognized by the Dao of Heaven, and at the same time as it bestows boundless merit, it is actually equivalent to lowering the authority of the Dao of Heaven.
According to the size of the contribution to the world, a simple division can correspond to the realm of cultivation.
What Saints do has made great contributions to heaven and earth, so they can hold the authority of the Heavenly Dao at the Saint level and become the Saints of the Dao of Heaven.
Another example is the Suirenshi and other three human ancestors. What they did also contributed to the heaven and the earth, but the authority of the heaven and earth they can control can only reach the level of the Great Principal Golden Immortal.
If you don't choose to use merit to improve your cultivation, like him, it is actually equivalent to giving up the authority given by the way of heaven.
If you want to continue to improve your cultivation, it is not impossible, that is to practice normally and break through the realm slowly.
And like the three of Suiren, improving one's cultivation base with merit is equivalent to accepting the authority given by the Dao of Heaven.
The authority given by the Dao of Heaven is the Great Principal Golden Immortal level, so the three Suirenshi can only cultivate to the Great Principal Golden Immortal level.
If the three of Suirenshi want to improve, even if they continue to gain merits, they will not be able to improve their cultivation base by an iota.
Unless the three Suiren clan do something beneficial to the world, and they have to go beyond the past, in order to continue to improve their cultivation base.
It is precisely because of this that Empress Nuwa said that merit is not omnipotent, even if you have worked hard to accumulate boundless merit, it will not be of much use.
And Empress Nuwa would say this, which is naturally related to the six reincarnations, because in the six reincarnations, there are immeasurable merits and virtues condensed all the time.
But these merits and virtues are scattered, and they are gathered together after the reincarnation of one dead soul after another.
Reincarnation of a dead soul is naturally a contribution to heaven and earth, so it can gain merit, but the authority of heaven and earth obtained by this move is very low.
In other words, even if countless dead souls are reincarnated, it is indeed possible to condense immeasurable merits and virtues, but it is impossible for oneself to cultivate to a very high level.
It was also at this time that he understood this truth, and some doubts in his heart were completely resolved at this time.
If you think about it, since merits and virtues are generated all the time in the six realms of reincarnation, it is actually not difficult for the ancestor witches of Houtu to cultivate the witch clan.
There are immeasurable merits and virtues. If there is no limit to the substitute's cultivation base, it will be a breeze to cultivate some powerful witches.
Not to mention other things, how difficult is it for dozens of Great Principal Golden Immortals, and even digital quasi-sages, in terms of the merits in the six realms of reincarnation?
But in fact, since the great war between the Lich and Monster clans, the Lich Clan has never regained its former strength, and has even become weaker and weaker.
If there is really a way, how can the ancestor witches of Houtu just ignore the witch clan?
"Tell me! What's the matter with you? If you don't tell me, I will return to Wa Palace!" Nuwa Empress said.
When Li Changsheng asked her what she thought about the six realms of reincarnation, she was already sure that Li Changsheng definitely had some other purpose.
"There are indeed some things, and I invite Saint to go to the eighteenth floor of hell!" Li Changsheng said.
