Chapter 586: The method of achieving enlightenment through merit

"But teacher, what does this have to do with the detours of the five saints?"

As a person who is about to become a saint, he is very concerned about the affairs of saints.

Empress Houtu smiled and said, "Why are you so anxious? I'm just explaining this matter right now, isn't it?"

"This disciple is impatient."

"Actually, there is more than one way to become a saint. As long as you can combine your soul with your natal world and cultivate the way of heaven, you can become a saint. That's why Taoist Fellow Hongjun said that there are three thousand ways. It can be proven.”

"Empress, according to this statement, the five saints should have achieved enlightenment. Is there anything else?"

Emperor Fengdu asked thoughtfully.

"Fellow Taoist thought well."

Empress Houtu smiled slightly, "I and the five of them have indeed become saints. But, who allowed them to refine the Hongmeng Purple Qi?"

"Hongmeng Purple Qi?"

Lord Sacred Heart's heart trembled, and he thought of himself.

Empress Houtu seemed to know what Taoist Sacred Heart was thinking: "What are you afraid of? Moreover, the Hongmeng Purple Qi is indeed the foundation of the Tao. If it weren't for the Five Saints, they would not have put themselves in trouble."

Taoist Lord Sacred Heart smiled sarcastically and stopped speaking.

He knew that he was unreasonably afraid. If Empress Houtu wanted to harm him, there was no need to accept him as her disciple, she could just give him the purple energy of reincarnation.

Who can see the opportunity for sanctification and not refine it?

"Because the Five Saints refined the Hongmeng Purple Qi, they integrated their own Dao into the Dao of Heaven during the process of killing the three corpses. The Dao of Heaven cannot be deceived. They tried to communicate the power of the Dao of Heaven by killing the three corpses. However, this process It is irreversible. Once their path enters the way of heaven, it becomes part of it.”

"So, when they gave up on killing three corpses to prove their way, they gave up the control of their own way?"

Emperor Fengdu heard something and spoke.

After hearing this, Empress Houtu smiled: "Of course! Since they have refined the Hongmeng Purple Qi, they have been recognized by the Heavenly Dao. As long as they can kill the three corpses and merge the three corpses into one, they can naturally cultivate the Little Heavenly Dao. Achieve the Holy Throne.”

"It's a pity that they are eager for quick success and only half the time they can travel a hundred miles. After they integrated the Dao into the Dao of Heaven, they voluntarily gave up their dominance and ran to follow the path of merit and enlightenment. As a result, part of their Dao was taken away by the Dao of Heaven. , became part of the way of heaven.”

"Especially for me. He has killed three corpses. He only needs one step to unite the three corpses into one, and he can become a saint. However, he was so anxious that he gave up on killing three corpses to prove the way."

Having said this, Empress Houtu couldn't help laughing and almost laughed.

There is nothing funnier than watching your opponent dig his own grave.

But Fang Yang and the other three didn't find it funny. Even if I and the other five saints fail, they are still saints. How can ants like them have the right to laugh at saints?

After a while, Queen Houtu calmed down her mood before continuing.

"Of course, this is not without its benefits. After the Five Saints enter the Heavenly Dao, they can use more of the Heavenly Dao power, which is more than what Nuwa, the perfect saint, can use. Their behavior is tantamount to Cultivate yourself into a clone of the Heavenly Dao. Fellow Taoist Nuwa can only mobilize the power of his own small Heavenly Dao, and naturally he cannot compare with them."

"In the first few hundred million years, the strength of the Five Saints was superior to Taoist Nuwa. However, Taoist Nuwa was not bound by heaven, but her cultivation speed was the fastest. About the time Taoist Fuxi was reincarnated, her strength He caught up with me and became one of the best among the six saints."

"Fellow Taoist Nuwa relied on his status as the first person under Hongjun to win the position of emperor for Fuxi. After all, none of the five saints are willing to offend Taoist Nuwa, a saint with higher potential than them."

There was silence.

"Your Majesty, you are telling us this so that we can prove the truth with all your strength?"

Emperor Fengdu couldn't help but asked softly.

To become a saint, of course you have to become the strongest saint. The tunnel is already far behind the heaven. Only saints who prove the Tao with their strength can make the tunnel stronger.

After hearing this, Empress Houtu smiled meaningfully: "Fellow Taoist Fengdu, which path do you think I have taken to achieve enlightenment?"

"this?"

Emperor Fengdu couldn't answer.

Not only was Emperor Fengdu unable to answer, but Fang Yang was also unable to answer.

Many people believe that Empress Houtu obtained the merits of reincarnation and achieved enlightenment through her merits. However, Empress Houtu’s reincarnation merits were sent down by Heaven. Heaven sent down her merits, so Empress Houtu should have become a saint from Heaven, not an earthly saint!

The problem lies here.

However, the feeling given to Fang Yang by Empress Houtu was that of proving the Tao with force.

Empress Houtu is an ancestral witch, and proving the Tao through force is the most suitable way to prove her status.

Why didn't Fang Yang guess that Empress Houtu had killed three corpses to prove her enlightenment? This is a lice on the monk's head, it's obvious.

Empress Houtu is not a disciple of Xuanmen, so how can she know the art of killing three corpses?

"Fellow Taoist Fang Yang, please tell me."

Fang Yang's face moved slightly, and he said truthfully: "I feel that the empress has proved the Tao with her strength."

Lord Sacred Heart and Emperor Fengdu were very puzzled when they heard this. They didn't understand why Fang Yang said this.

Like the vast majority of people, they believe that Empress Houtu is a person of merit and enlightenment.

"Yes! Your realm is indeed profound. I can now confirm that you definitely have the qualifications to be a saint."

Empress Houtu only felt her eyes light up, and gave Fang Yang a double affirmation.

Even Xing Tian and Jiu Feng, two of their own people, thought she was a meritorious person. Unexpectedly, Fang Yang, a foreigner, could guess the correct answer.

"Teacher, are you really proving the Tao with your strength?"

Taoist Sacred Heart couldn't help but speak.

Empress Houtu shook her head repeatedly: "I have never practiced the art of merit and enlightenment. How can I achieve enlightenment through merit? Do you think that as long as you gain immeasurable merit, you can achieve enlightenment naturally?"

Emperor Fengdu and Taoist Sacred Heart did not speak, but their expressions said everything.

Empress Houtu looked a little disappointed and looked at Fang Yang.

"Fellow Taoist Fang Yang, it's up to you to explain to them."

Fang Yang cupped his hands towards Empress Houtu and said "yes".

"Enlightenment by merit does not mean that you can obtain merit. The key to enlightenment by merit is to cultivate the world of destiny and the soul into the way of heaven. This step is an extremely long process. Merit only serves as an introduction. If you do not take the initiative If you don’t cultivate the way of heaven, no amount of merit can make a person a saint.”

Merit has many mysteries, but it cannot directly make people holy.

If merit can make a person a saint, then as long as the Twelve Ancestral Witches focus all their merit on one person, they will automatically become a saint.
