Chapter 964: Heaven, Earth, Humans, Gods and Ghosts, Immortality is Impossible

Perhaps Donghuang saw that lust was difficult to eliminate, so he created this universe in order to deduce a method to eliminate lust.

The natural spirit stone was still waiting for the opportunity to be born, and Luo Zu was still strengthening himself. It was just that in this world, there were clear advantages and disadvantages between Taoism and Taoism. Taoism was Taoism, and Taoism was Taoism. Sometimes they did not help each other much, which was why many people with high Taoism were often beaten by the boys holding treasures, and some were even killed on the spot.

However, the rules are strict. It does not mean that you can improve your Taoism by practicing Taoism. You still need to cultivate your magic power. Taoism can only increase your lifespan.

Yes, the killing calamity of the gods in this world is also serious. I don’t know whose story Donghuang stitched together, and included the three disasters and nine difficulties, the five declines of heaven and man, and the heavenly and human calamities. In this way, the magic power of many great supernatural powers was restrained, and the lifespan of everyone was controlled within the rules.

When one's cultivation reaches a certain level, one's life span will also increase accordingly. When one's cultivation reaches a certain level, a catastrophe will come. When one's life span reaches a certain level, a catastrophe will also come. And no matter whether you are a Taoist, a Buddhist, a practitioner of unorthodox methods, or a follower of evil dharma, you will have catastrophes, they are just different for each person.

Some calamities are cruel and overbearing, some result in death, some are insignificant, some are inescapable, some strike directly at one's heart, making life worse than death, and some bring devastation to all living beings. All the evil karma will be attributed to you.

Yes, with calamities, there are rules of good and evil karma. You may not have a good ending if you do good deeds in your life, but if you do evil deeds, no matter how high your cultivation level is, you will not have a good ending. Even if you escape a calamity, the next one will be more severe, and there is really no chance of survival.

Because of the numerous disasters, the various Taoist sects here have developed many methods to avoid and overcome disasters. The first three disasters of cultivation include methods to avoid disasters such as the seventy-two transformations and thirty-six transformations, as well as methods to avoid disasters by hiding in a blessed place.

It is really difficult to overcome the three disasters now. This is set by the rules. The more people practice Taoism, the more spiritual energy they can generate from breathing in and out of the world. However, this world is shielded inside and outside by the Jade Emperor's Taoist magic, so that no one can enter from outside and no one can leave from inside, which also limits the spiritual energy of this world.

In addition, the cultivation methods of various parties are not considered to be the right way. Except for a few people with great supernatural powers, no one can create something out of nothing. This also makes the Tao limited, but the number of immortals is increasing day by day and rarely decreases. Although there are many disasters, there are also many ways for everyone to avoid them, so the number of immortals is increasing day by day.

How could the heaven and earth afford these Pixiu that only took in but never left? Hence, there was the killing calamity of the immortals. This was a calamity caused by the heaven and earth itself sensing the many calamities set up by the Great Celestial Venerable. In the previous killing calamities, many started from the human world and killed many immortal immortals.

However, these gods also have their own solutions to deal with it, so on the basis of natural reincarnation, there are six reincarnations, and there are also ten kings of hell, Taishan Lord, Mangshan Ghost King, Fengdu Ghost Emperor, etc., who can salvage the souls of the gods who died in the killing calamity. With only one round of the six reincarnation power, they can get back the merits of the previous life, and have a new identity and new Taoism, but they are still the old immortals.

The Jade Emperor turned a blind eye to this, and simply accepted the six reincarnations as ministers under the rule of the Heavenly Court. He also took the names of various underworld gods for his own use, corresponding to the stars in the sky above and the underworld springs below.

In short, the calamities are compounded by calamities. The calamities of later practitioners are too severe to allow them to live forever. So some practitioners have found a compromise: I want to live forever first, but I don’t want to be immortal. Is that okay?

Heaven and earth agreed, and thus the five kinds of immortals came into being: heaven, earth, humans, gods, and ghosts. Most of the heavenly immortals were reincarnated people with great supernatural powers, and they could achieve immortality. The earthly immortals hid in the blessed lands of immortal mountains to avoid disasters, and thus they could also achieve immortality. The human immortals had a lifespan of 800 years, and they lived forever, and thus they could achieve immortality, but some of them could not be immortal.

The immortals worship the Heavenly Court and are enshrined in the Immortal Platform as a great achievement. From then on, their names are recorded there. They need to sense the changes in the heavenly secrets, be driven by the Heavenly Court to do work, create inspiration for heaven and earth, and then share 190% with heaven and earth. In this way, they can achieve immortality.

There are also ghost immortals. The method of cultivating ghost immortals is simple. You can cultivate after you die. Ordinary people can become ghost immortals after death, and practitioners can also become ghost immortals after death. However, this also means that the quality of ghost immortals is uneven.

Some ghost immortals are so powerful that even the Yama Kings of the Ten Directions cannot stop them. Some ghost immortals are miserable and will be destroyed after a gust of cold wind. However, the ghost immortals’ cultivation methods are natural. After being in the world for a long time, their Taoism will increase and they don’t need to practice cultivation.

The reason for this is that ghost immortals will naturally absorb the dirty and evil energy between heaven and earth. In this way, they only need to wander between heaven and earth to correct the spiritual energy and restore the clarity of heaven and earth. This is like immortals sorting out the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which is considered to be doing work for heaven and earth. Therefore, they can achieve immortality, but no one is immortal.

Because these ghost immortals cannot escape a thunder disaster. Once the thunder strikes, even if it misses, they will be terrified both physically and mentally. What's worse, their souls will be destroyed on the spot.

It is precisely because of these differences in cultivation and the inclinations of heaven and earth that the so-called concept of merit and virtue has emerged in this world.

“As the saying goes, three years new, three years old, and three years of mending. This world has become a whole ball, with nothing leaking from the inside and nothing coming in from the outside. Only the mice eat it all up, and the owner doesn’t care, just closing his eyes and being too clean.” Luo Zu kept mocking in the stone womb.

After all, he was trapped in such a stone womb, and honestly felt the washing of time on his own soul. It took him 36 million years to see this world over and over again.

Of course, he has been seen several times by the great masters of this world. After all, the movement of his spiritual energy is not small, but the catastrophe has never come. Naturally, he needs to be studied carefully.

But the final result was that although he absorbed and exhaled spiritual energy, he also distinguished the spiritual energy, rather than simply swallowing and exhaling it in one breath. After the distinction, the spiritual energy fell into the mountains, rivers, and was absorbed by other living beings. So it was almost equivalent to doing the work of immortals, the instinct of ghost immortals.

Therefore, before he was born, he was regarded as the king of gods and ghosts by a group of local great supernatural powers.

There are already great gods in the Heavenly Palace asking the Jade Emperor to issue an order to take down these presumptuous people and suppress them first, so as to prevent them from causing chaos in the Heavenly Palace and harming the will of heaven in the future.

But the Jade Emperor ignored it and refused to let him stay.

As time passed, many great gods gradually came up with this idea. When they absorbed and exhaled spiritual energy, they released their useless spiritual energy back to heaven and earth. They were no longer dead Pi Xiu, but living Pi Xiu. However, this only delayed the arrival of their own five decays.

Precisely because the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Earth are driving them away, some great gods turn to become gods and immortals, sorting out the spiritual ideas of heaven and earth, and eventually they may go through thousands or tens of thousands of calamities, and gradually resolve their own calamities of heaven and earth, and finally they can restore their own realm of Taoism.

This is also the reason why there are so many great gods in heaven.
