Chapter 603: Reincarnation for Thousands of Generations Is Not as Effective as the Work of One Lifetime.
Reincarnation, from ancient times to the present, is a mysterious and unpredictable road. There are countless people who have tried this road, but only a few have achieved success.
In the eyes of those great masters of ancient times, one life is enough to equal the fate of ten thousand lives. They devote all their talents to the current life, and become dragons and phoenixes in this life. They burn everything, and even if the final result is not satisfactory, they will have no regrets.
This idea was popular in ancient times, because most of the great masters born in ancient times were the ones who had the deepest and thickest fortune of heaven and earth. They knew that if they failed in this life, they would leave it to the next life, and the next life. Their talents and endowments would never be comparable to this life, let alone have any fortune.
Among them, the Great Sage Wukong shouted that he would only cultivate in one life and not ask about the past and the future. He would not hesitate to fight against the powerful force of the Heavenly Court in the previous version, and he would give everything in that life.
And the witch clan was the one who implemented this idea most thoroughly.
The Wu Clan, the first group of creatures born in the world, had no past and did not cultivate for the next life. They only wanted to be the overlord of this world. For this, they were willing to gamble everything of the whole clan and confront all the clans except the Wu Clan at that time, hoping to suppress all the clans with the power of one clan.
In the end, because of the rise of the Emperor of Heaven, the all clans and all the creatures worked together to resist the Wu Clan. The scattered all clans were twisted into a rope by the Emperor of Heaven. From the situation of being manipulated by the Wu Clan at will, they gradually went to the stage of stalemate with the Wu Clan, and finally the Wu Clan ushered in the fate of being completely destroyed in one battle.
The Wu Clan's all-out fight without cultivating for the next life only became a stepping stone for the Emperor of Heaven to be invincible in the world and achieve the supreme heavenly way.
And to be honest, the Wu Clan, who did not cultivate for the next life, will completely disappear in the heavens and the world after this battle, and there will be no possibility of stepping onto the stage of heaven and earth.
But what is unreasonable is that among the witches, there is an anomaly like Hou Tu, the ancestor witch. She does not cultivate in the next life, but has always been worried about the future of the witches, because the witches only care about refining their bodies and have no achievements in practicing the arts. At the beginning of the birth of the world, the witches ate raw meat and drank blood, and lived in trees. As time passed, the other ten thousand races began to live in spiritual houses, refine furnaces and elixirs to upgrade the quality of raw materials, refine instruments and draw talismans to make up for the lack of their own combat effectiveness, while the witches still only know how to wield swords and guns and show off their bravery.
When the war between witches and demons reached its climax, the ten thousand races led by the Emperor of Heaven had refined many star puppet ships in the sky, and the demon saints each had a post-natal spiritual treasure or even a congenital spiritual treasure, magic weapons and armor, and mounts and spiritual beasts, which were countless.
In this way, how can the witches not be defeated?
On that day, thousands of star ships attacked from Buzhou Mountain, forming a Zhoutian Xingdou formation. There were countless people with supernatural powers, waving formation flags and performing the power of Hunyuan Heluo. Those weak races that were far from being a match for their Wu clan before used the power of formations, magic tools, talismans and other kinds of cultivation creations to hold their Wu clan until death.
The ancestor witch Hou Tu regretted it and sighed that there was no regret medicine in the world.
At this time, he was favored by the reincarnation pattern and knew that if he used this pattern to establish the underworld and became the person in charge of one of the three paths of heaven, earth and man, he could use the authority of the Lord of the Underworld to give the Wu clan another chance to live and prove themselves again.
Therefore, the ancestor witch Hou Tu united with a group of ancient great powers, maneuvered among many forces, and finally created the ancient underworld, laying the foundation for the ancient pattern of the three paths of heaven, earth and man.
And just as she wished, after establishing dozens of Yuanhui in the ancient underworld, Hou Tu Niangniang created the underworld, received the dead souls of heaven and earth, and sorted out the countless merits of the six reincarnations. She gave the Wu clan a chance to live again with the power of reincarnation.
After these Wu clans came back to life, in order to make up for the Wu clan's inherent pride and lack of creativity, Hou Tu Niangniang vigorously promoted the Wu clan and the human race to intermarry, giving birth to the Wu people tribe.
Wu people inherited the physical fitness of the Wu clan and also had the merits of the Yuanshen, so they could make progress in both physical cultivation and Yuanshen.
And because they integrated the human genes, they had the smoothness and intelligence of the human race. They would not easily get stuck in a dead end like the Wu clan and could not get out. They knew how to adapt and had more talent in practicing hundreds of arts.
The most important thing is that although the Wu people's reproductive ability is not as good as that of the human race, who can give birth to offspring after ten months of pregnancy, it is still stronger than the Wu people who can give birth to a new child after more than 100,000 years. Wu people can give birth to a child after a hundred years of pregnancy, and the life span of a Wu people is generally thousands of years, which means that as long as they are willing, a Wu people can give birth to more than ten offspring, and reproduction and growth is not a problem at all.
In this way, if it continues to develop, in time, the Wu people tribe that gathers the genes of the Wu people and the human race may really make up for the regrets of the Wu people in the previous life and achieve the position of the overlord of all races in this life.
This is one of the meanings of reincarnation, that is, to make up for the regrets of the previous life, summarize the experience and lessons in the next life, and reach new heights.
It doesn't matter if you fail once, every reincarnation is the next opportunity.
This is the fate of a tribe, and it is also the process of a creature pursuing the Tao.
It is important to burn out all the merits of a lifetime and work until you can no longer do anything, but you must choose the right time and accumulate enough to make it happen. If the timing is not right in this life and the merits are not enough, then you can just wait for the next life, and the next life after that. As long as your heart of Taoism is not lost and you can solve the mystery in the womb, you will always find an opportunity after reincarnation for hundreds of thousands of lives.
Patience, persistence, and perseverance are the core concepts of pursuing the path of Taoism through reincarnation.
The Great Dao is vast and boundless. If you make a mistake in the path of cultivation, you may lose all your merits in this life. Except for a few people with limited opportunities, they can take every step correctly, or even if they make a mistake, they can quickly correct it and climb to the theoretically highest point of the Dao that living beings can reach in one life, that is, the position of the immortal Dao ancestor.
The rest of the living beings can only use the cultivation of each life as a ladder to continuously move up the Dao in reincarnation after reincarnation. As long as they do not lose themselves in the process and make progress in each life, they will always get what they want in one life.
This is the big cake that Hou Tu Niangniang painted for a group of gods, demons and monsters in ancient times, so that they would willingly enter the reincarnation. Although, no one had eaten this big cake until the collapse of the ancient underworld, because there were almost no cultivators who could not lose themselves in reincarnation after reincarnation.
In this life, you may be able to resist the temptation of a mansion with beautiful maids and a life of lying flat, and become the hardest-working one of the rich second generation. You start your own business and lose all your family wealth, and work hard until your father has nothing.
In the next life, when you are lucky enough to be reincarnated into a rich second generation again, you will awaken the mystery in your womb and learn about your experience in your previous life. Will you be frightened by the result of your hard work in the previous life, and choose another way to live a life of luxury and wealth?
Even if you have not lost your enterprising spirit in this life, you still have to work hard to start a business with the inherited wealth, and even succeed in starting a business by chance, so that your family can move to a higher level, which makes you more determined that as long as your heart of Tao is not extinguished, you can always move forward.
But in the next life, your reincarnated body has become a natural ox and horse holy body whose ancestors were all born in poverty for 18 generations. All your efforts have been exploited by others. You work so hard that you are powerless and can only barely survive.
At this time, you awaken to the mystery in the womb, and know that the gains you thought you had made through hard work in your previous life were all because you were born standing on a high platform. You were on the ladder to the blue sky, so you could reach out and pick the stars. In this life, you have to compete with countless cattle and horses even for the job of holding the ladder. Only after you surpass others in intelligence, physical strength, and obedience can you be lucky enough to be one of the thousands of cattle and horses holding the ladder and send others to the ninth heaven to embrace the bright moon.
At this time, you remember that you seemed to be one of the heavenly generals in a certain life. That was the most proud time in your countless reincarnations. You were above the ninth heaven and received offerings from the mortals in the lower world. When you were in a good mood, you responded to the prayers of mortals, displayed your divine power and magic power, and killed the big monsters with your golden armor and magic gun. In the eyes of countless mortals who were grateful and admired, you returned to the heaven with satisfaction.
When you arrived in the Heavenly Palace, you heard that a great demon had come from the South Heavenly Gate to the Lingxiao Palace. You were furious, thinking that the Heavenly Palace was not done with you, so how could you come down to the mortal world and the South Heavenly Gate you were guarding be broken by the great demon? But you were secretly happy, thinking that this time you went to the lower world to do private work, you also proved your value, letting the heavenly officials know that you, a brave and warlike general, are valuable to the Heavenly Palace. You may be promoted and get a raise, and even the Peach Feast that you never dared to think about before, you may be one of the guests on the high platform in the future.
With a beautiful vision of the future, you can't wait to fight with your companions to the great demon who broke into the Heavenly Palace.
The result was completely different from what you expected. You practiced martial arts and fighting skills day and night, regardless of the cold and heat, for more than ten thousand years, tempered your martial arts, and refined real gold, which was extremely solid. According to your companions, the great demon had only practiced Taoism for more than ten years, so how could he compare with you?
However, after you really fought with the big monster, you despairedly found that you could not resist the overwhelming force of the ordinary stick he pressed down on you. The Taoist magic he casually displayed was all the wonderful skills that you had never learned even after you sent him to worship his master and sought guidance from a great master.
At this point, you realized that hard work is nothing compared to real talent. Hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers and countless years of practice are no match for the natural talent of this monkey. His more than ten years of practice are the dream that you could never achieve even after practicing for hundreds of thousands of years.
Reflecting on the present world, you realized that there was no difference between you as a heavenly general and you as a cow and horse now. You were just helping those who were born in high places.
The glorious prospects, the bright future, the graceful path, and the supreme fate of immortals are all enjoyed by those who were born in high positions.
In this way, you began to doubt whether hard work is meaningful, and your heart of Taoism began to waver.
Even if you are not completely lost this time, there will always be a life after the next life, and the life after the next life, and there will always be a life in which your Tao heart will be completely lost. From then on, even if you reincarnate countless times, you will never be able to reach the most glorious life, let alone reach a new height.
This is the experience of many practitioners in ancient times. In fact, it is good to be reincarnated as a human being in one life after another. Reincarnation as livestock and insects is more torturous and more testing for the Tao heart.
Even if no one eats the pie drawn by Hou Tu Niangniang until the collapse of the underworld, both ancient and modern practitioners do not feel that Hou Tu is deceiving them, and they are not resistant to reincarnation.
The reason is that reincarnation gives them hope, and gives them the hope of coming back in the next life if they fail in this life.
All of this was the result of Su Qing breaking the Five Reincarnation Treasures one after another, enduring Puppet Immortal's rejection and conflict with the Reincarnation Patterns, and forcibly imprinting some of the Reincarnation Patterns contained in the Five Reincarnation Treasures on his body. Later, his soul consciousness gained insights from these Reincarnation Patterns.
He saw the original intention of Hou Tu Niangniang when she created the underworld, the process of the gods and immortals from resistance to acceptance after the establishment of the ancient underworld and the initial determination of the six reincarnations, and the confused struggles of the cultivators who were unwilling to be lost in this life and placed their hopes on the next life in reincarnation.
In the process, he even saw his past life.
He saw the bright lights, high-rise buildings, and the small shops in the corners that were deliberately chosen to avoid being noticed in this prosperous scene to avoid embarrassing customers.
The adult store owner was his previous life. He had died before he traveled through time. Only the middle-aged store owner who worked hard for most of his life, staying up day and night to select the latest dolls for customers and put them on the shelves, but ultimately did not save enough money for his wife, was also considered to have accumulated virtues and done good deeds in this life, comforted countless people with dolls, and was able to have another life of good fortune, fall into the cultivation world, and become a cultivator with the hope of immortality.
I can't bear to see the embarrassment of the adult store owner. Looking back, I was a soldier in the battlefield in the rain of bullets in the previous life. In the era of warlords fighting, I didn't know who I was fighting for, just for a full meal. Today, I helped this boss fight that boss, and tomorrow I helped that boss fight yesterday's boss. It didn't matter who won or lost. I was lucky as long as I was full and got through another day.
Continuing to look, there are scholars wearing green shirts who have repeatedly failed the exams, farmers who have been exposed to the wind and sun in the fields, tending crops, but due to natural disasters and man-made disasters, they have never obtained a satisfactory harvest, there are strong primitive people who almost hunted the strongest prey in the primitive tribe and won the right to choose a mate, and there were immortals who were taught by the immortals in the early ancient times and almost set foot on the immortal path, but because of their vulgar behavior, they were despised by the immortals and missed the immortal fate again...
After watching so many lives, he seemed to work hard in every life, but in the end he was frustrated and could not achieve what he wanted.
It would be fine if he was unlucky in one life, but if he was unlucky in all these lives, wouldn’t he become the most unlucky person in the world?
“So after all the bad times come the good times. The merits accumulated from so many unlucky lives should make everything go smoothly in this life, and God will help me!”
Su Qing watched his past life calmly from the perspective of an observer, and said softly, and then looked at his future.
The future is dark! (End of this chapter)
