Chapter 786: Difficulties in Shinto
It sounds like the practice of Shinto is very simple, much easier than that of ordinary cultivators, but why is Shinto practice still not the mainstream in this world? Even in the Tianhuang Realm and the current cultivation world, the practice of incense Shinto is ranked after several systems such as refining qi, refining spirit, and refining body. Many people are forced to choose it?
Because, although this kind of practice is fast, it is not so easy, but it is very dangerous.
Shinto does not need to comprehend the realm, only needs to refine the status, and you can have powerful strength, but for most Shinto cultivators, it is here and it is also trapped here. Shinto is also a kind of bondage for cultivators. They need to abide by the rules of Shinto authority and complete the duties that need to be performed by Shinto authority to maintain the blessing of the will of heaven and earth and maintain their own Shinto status. If they cannot maintain their own status and lose the favor of heaven, they will be stripped of authority.
Of course, this is the most common way of practice in Shintoism, and it is also the way of practice for most Shinto practitioners. Another way of practice is like Pei Xuanjing, who initially obtained the Shinto status. Although he followed the situation of Shinto authority, he did not rely on the power of incense and faith to improve, but practiced the laws. After taking control of the power of the laws with the help of the power of the status, he slowly mastered these laws and turned them into his own foundation. Even if such Shinto practitioners lost the Shinto status, they would not suffer too much loss and still maintain sufficient strength.
There are pros and cons. The former practiced quickly, while the latter comprehended the laws and took control of the laws too slowly, and had great requirements for their own will and qualifications, which not everyone could do. In general, most of the practitioners with such qualifications were unwilling to follow the Shinto without special reasons, at least for now.
Of course, Zhu Houcong followed the former Shintoism, but it was also completely the former. In addition to Shintoism, he also practiced the practice method of the common leader of the human race and the practice method of the way of refining the spirit.
And as the Lord of the Ming Dynasty, he has been completely tied to the Ming Dynasty. The prosperity of the Ming Dynasty supports his strength. If the Ming Dynasty declines or collapses, even if Zhu Houcong comprehends and controls the law, he still cannot be immune and can only be destroyed with the Dynasty.
Therefore, even if he knows the threat of the gods and the shortcomings of the Dynasty, Zhu Houcong has no choice and no way out. Of course, for Zhu Houcong, he does not need a choice or a way out.
Perhaps Zhu Houcong is devoted to immortality and is not a good emperor, but he is still decisive and firm. For him, if the Dynasty collapses one day and it is irreversible, he will definitely not lack the courage and determination to collapse with the Dynasty. This is his responsibility as the Lord of the Dynasty and the King of All People.
"When the world is promoted, this world will also undergo many changes, so we must speed up the search for the location of the Heavenly Court prototype cave heaven left by the human race leader." Zhu Houcong's eyes showed a little urgency.
When he was practicing the human race leader's skills, he got the news about the Heavenly Court prototype cave heaven opened by the ancient human race leader Suo. After communicating with Pei Xuanjing, Zhu Houcong has been sending people to collect and find the original cave heaven.
It's a pity that after so many years, Zhu Houcong has spent countless manpower and material resources on this issue but still has no gains. He even found some incomplete cave heavens in ancient times, but there is still no trace of the Heavenly Court prototype cave heaven described in this skill.
Zhu Houcong has little time left. After the world is promoted, the pattern of the world will change greatly. If he can't find it as soon as possible, the information he has in his hands will be even more useless.
"As the world is promoted, the power held by the old Taoist is also constantly increasing. Perhaps after the world is promoted, as long as the old Taoist can completely master this divine body, he will be able to have the combat power of the strongest realm." Qingxu Taoist, or the current Qingxu Zhenjun, felt the changes of the promotion of the world and thought so in his heart.
The innate gods cultivated by the Zhenwu Sect at a huge cost turned into evil gods. When they could not protect the Zhenwu Sect and might endanger the world, they could only ask Pei Xuanjing to wipe out the spiritual wisdom of the evil god. He himself sacrificed his own body and then merged into this divine body to become a god.
"Brother, how long will it take for you to master this divine body?" Qingyangzi's voice sounded in the ears of Qingxu Taoist.
Although Qingyangzi is now the vice-president of the Taoist Academy, with the support of Pei Xuanjing, the strongest, even if his strength is insufficient, he still has a high status. Even some cultivators of the seventh level of the spiritual realm and the geniuses from the top forces will not ignore him. But Qingyangzi is a member of the Zhenwu Sect after all, and he will not forget his origins.
If the Zhenwu Sect didn't need him to help before, then now that something like this happened in the Zhenwu Sect, he should come back to see if there was anything he could help with.
After returning to the Zhenwu Sect from the Taoist temple, Qing Yangzi didn't wait too long to see his senior brother, the head teacher brother who was sealed in the center of the Zhenwu formation and couldn't leave.
According to the elders and head teachers in the sect, the evil god was extremely powerful. As a congenital god that absorbed the power of countless faiths and incense and so much divine power, it was born with powerful strength. The peak of the eighth level of the spiritual realm was enough to compete with the existence of the strongest for a short time. Although it seemed to be easily suppressed by Pei Xuanjing, it was not something that the entire Zhenwu Sect could subdue.
Even though Pei Xuanjing took a big price to wipe out his spiritual wisdom, the few remaining instincts of the divine body were not something that the current Qingxu Taoist could easily master.
He needed time, time to refine the spirituality in the divine body and completely merge it into a god.
"Given the old Taoist's current situation, it may take several decades, and during this period, you cannot leave the Zhenwu formation, otherwise it is easy to be backlashed." Qingxu Zhenjun did not hide anything from his junior brother and told him everything.
Replacing a god with a human is an act against the will of heaven. His strength is originally weaker than that of the evil god, and the life essence of a mortal cultivator is also lower than that of this innate god. Even if the other party is an incomplete innate god born from the power of faith and incense, it is not that easy to refine.
In this Zhenwu formation, the instinct of the divine body can be suppressed, so that he can complete the act of swallowing an elephant with a snake and transforming a god with a mortal. Otherwise, even if the spiritual wisdom of the evil god is wiped out, great terror may occur.
