The hundred monkey didn't expect such a thing to happen. He scratched his ears and said, "Ancestor, do you have a solution? There are so many demons in this world, each of them hundreds and thousands of years old. Didn't you see King of Hell looking for trouble with them? "
"That's because those demons defeated the ghost messengers and chased away the Black and White Impermanence. They are all powerful, so how would the ghost messengers dare to send people to capture them? Furthermore, there are also connections in the world of demons. Even the King of Hell can't afford to offend those old demons who call themselves saints and ancestors. If they were to get angry, the earth would shake and the mountains would shake. No Emissary of Hell would dare to take the lives of the demon armies and demon kingdoms under their protection! "
"Ten thousand miles to the west, there is the Lion Camel Country. It is 800 miles wide and has 48,000 demons. With the protection of the great demons, Yan Jun won't dare to kill them, and the gods won't dare to subdue the demons. Although it's illegal immortality, it's still very carefree!"
The stone monkey yearned and asked, "This illegal immortality sounds good. May I ask, ancestor, what are the hidden dangers?"
"Hahahaha!" Chen Ang laughed and said, "If that's the case, they will really be demons! What do you think is a demon? Those who go against the celestial heavens, don't follow the spiritual mountain, and go against the laws of the gods are demons. Who cares if you are a human, ghost, monkey, ox, lion, roc, flood dragon, or leopard, as long as you have a celestial record, you will be able to follow the spiritual mountain of the celestial heavens and enter the divine dao system. If you don't enter the system and go against the celestial heavens, you will be a demon! "
"Do you really think that no one will come to slay the demons?"
"The celestial heavens will launch a calamity to slay the demons. When the time comes, they will gather millions of troops and the sky will be filled with gods. If they beat the young ones, the old ones will come. If they beat the celestial generals, the Star Lords will come. After chasing the Star Lords away, the Bodhisattva will come. Behind the Bodhisattva, there will be Buddha. The celestial heavens and spiritual mountain will collude together. No matter how arrogant the demons are, can they push down the Buddha's lotus seat?"
"Therefore, don't look at the demons making a ruckus. In the future, when the Heavenly Courts pull out a list, all of them will suffer a calamity or be taken in as mounts and pets … This is another wonderful thing about enlisting them!"
The monkey was dumbfounded and said, "These demons … aren't they because they eat humans?"
"Haha!" Chen Ang smiled again and said, "Although demons that don't eat humans are rare, it's not like they don't exist. Many demons either have righteous intentions, or have a pure nature, so they don't eat humans to do evil. But if they want to live forever, they have to chase away and avoid the Messengers of Hell. If they avoid the Messengers of Hell, they are demons!"
"What's more … don't be fooled by the solemn, dignified, and well-respected deities of today. Before they became immortals, did they not eat humans? In the West, Mahamayuri could eat a hundred thousand people in a country with a single mouth. In this world, how many monsters could be as savage as him? Those who have immortal records are immortals. Those who don't have immortal records and still oppose the Heavenly Court's Spirited Mountain are demons! "
"Of course, when you become a deity, you have to be restrained by the laws of heaven. You can't eat humans anymore!"
The stone monkey said dejectedly, "I can't become a deity. Could it be that everyone in this world who wants to live forever has to become a demon?"
"How many of the cultivators in the world are there in terms of wisdom? They were able to create a way to evade the three disasters, much less evade the Book of Life and Death. "" This is another way to live forever! "Chen Ang said. "It's called the Undead Immortal. Any human cultivator who hasn't obtained an immortal record before the end of their lifespan and doesn't want to reincarnate lest they turn into dust after cultivating for a lifetime must cultivate the Undead Immortal method. "
"Refine your own soul into a god-like spirit and call it the primordial spirit."
"Calculate a good date and wait until the ghost messenger comes. Either by using fellow Daoists to fight, or by using the calamity of heaven and earth, you can escape without anyone noticing! Leave the corpse there. If the ghost messenger sees it, they will think that the person's soul has dissipated. Go back and report! Let the judge write off the name. "
"Then, when you come back, you can either enter the corpse again or take over the corpse. You can borrow the staff, clothes, and sword to escape. From then on, you won't have a name in the Book of Life and Death and will be called an Undead Immortal, also known as an itinerant immortal. After becoming an itinerant immortal, you can go to the Three Mountains and Five Mountains where the itinerant immortals gather to continue cultivating and live in seclusion. When you have the opportunity to find two or three good friends in the Heavenly Court, you will receive enlightenment and enter the immortal record.
"This is a good idea! This is a good idea! "The stone monkey scratched his ears and cheeks, unable to contain his joy.
"If you can't enter the immortal record, you will eventually turn into dust … What's so good about that?" Chen Ang's expression darkened. "You see itinerant immortals living freely in the world, but they are actually just stray dogs! They live in the shadow of the Heavenly Court and have to suck up to the immortals, begging them to help them in the future. They even hide their heads and show their tails, afraid that they will be noticed by the Heavenly Court. When the great tribulation comes, have you not turned into dust among the itinerant immortals? "
"Of course, the cultivators in the human world are no longer like the itinerant immortals of the past who have no backing! The seniors before them became immortals and ancestors and also had connections in the Heavenly Court. The four great heavenly masters are their backers in the Heavenly Court. They just have to wait for the Heavenly Court's establishment. When the time comes, they can become immortals with a heavenly decree. "Although such itinerant immortals can still be called itinerant immortals, they are actually preparatory immortals for the Heavenly Court. Even the King of Hell won't find trouble with them. They just have to hide in their grotto-heavens and don't need to be dismembered. They can just wait to become immortals."
"Such itinerant immortals with connections have their legacies orderly, forming their own sects and calling themselves righteous sects. They disdain to be mentioned in the same breath as the itinerant immortals of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks overseas."
"These people who are preparing for the immortal record gradually stopped being called itinerant immortals. Later on, the itinerant immortals took on human characters and called them Human Immortals. They are also considered as part of the Five Immortal Fruits."
The stone monkey was flabbergasted and stuttered, "This disciple didn't know that there was such a thing! Teacher, what exactly is the Five Immortal Fruits that you speak of? How many of them are there in the world? "
"There are only five of them in the world. They aren't cultivation, divine arts, or magical powers, but establishment! They are commonly known as official positions! There are five immortals in the heavenly cycle. They are Heaven, Earth, God, Human, and Ghost. I've told you before that Human Immortals are merely preparatory immortals. In that case, the other four immortals have something to say. Heavenly Immortals and Divine Immortals are all immortals of the heavenly heavens. It's just that their positions are different. Those who are in charge of running the world are Divine Immortals, such as the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas and the various Star Sovereigns.
"And the ones under Yan Jun in the Netherworld are Ghost Immortals.
"As for the Earth Spirit, it's Zhenyuanzi from the Five Manor Monastery on the Longevity Mountain. His seniority is high and he's in the Earth Spirit Tree. He's not an immortal of the heavenly heavens, but he can protect people for longevity. It's not easy for the Jade Emperor to manage him, so he can only confer an Earth Spirit Ancestor. Those Earth Spirits who are under Zhenyuanzi's protection can enter the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror and obtain the Earth Spirit Book. They will be known as Earth Immortals. They will be the most carefree and carefree, but they have to mind their own business.
The stone monkey bowed and said, "This disciple heard that the Gautama Buddha from the Western Paradise leads all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and Vajras. He's also an extremely good Righteous Fruit. Why doesn't he become one of the Five Immortals?"
"Why doesn't he become one of the Five Immortals?" Chen Ang smiled and said, "Don't forget that those Human Immortals are just immortals to make up the numbers. How can they be considered as Righteous Fruits? I'll let you know that the Western Paradise's Mystical Mountain also has a line of immortals. They're called the Dajue Golden Immortal, and you can just call them Golden Immortals. There are actually six types of Five Immortals in the Heavenly Cycle, and they're the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth!"
"It's just that the Golden Immortal line isn't under the Jade Emperor's control. Therefore, he didn't mention it and didn't want to embarrass him. That's why he mentioned the Preparatory Immortals as well, to make up for the title of Human Immortal. "
The stone monkey thought about these five Righteous Fruits and gradually became a little infatuated. After a long time, he said in a sorrowful voice, "We're born and raised by the heavens. We have no one to rely on. It's so difficult to achieve Righteous Fruits!" He almost cried. He kowtowed to Chen Ang and said, "Teacher, thank you for enlightening me. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to find Righteous Fruits even after searching for a hundred years!"
Chen Ang sighed and said, "Foolish child! Longevity is easy to obtain, but Righteous Fruits are hard to seek. That's all … I've heard that an elder of the celestial heavens — Taishang Laojun — descended to the mortal world over eighty years ago. He's now under the Emperor of Great Zhou as the administrator of the treasure vault. He's one of the few great virtues in the mortal world. His status in the celestial heavens is extraordinary. If you want to obtain Righteous Fruits, there's no other option other than him. "
"If you only want to obtain Righteous Fruits, then go kill and commit arson to be conscripted!"
"I've caused you to offend Subhuti and ruined your future. I'll return you an opportunity. Follow me to meet that old man. I'll ask for a favor from fellow Daoist Grand Pure. I won't let you have no Righteous Fruits!"
The stone monkey prostrated on the ground and didn't get up. He said in a sorrowful voice, "Teacher has treated me with great kindness. Why are you chasing me away? Ever since I was born, I've only known about life and death. I've only understood good and evil after going through trials and tribulations. Only after meeting Teacher today did I understand my future. I'm only willing to be a good-for-nothing disciple under Teacher. Other than Teacher, I don't know anyone else! "
"You don't know fellow Daoist Grand Pure's remarkable abilities. This world is your parents, and fellow Daoist Grand Pure is like your parents. How can the kindness of a moment's guidance surpass the virtue of creation? "You're still ignorant now, saying such foolish things. In the future, when you understand, you'll come to blame me. Get up! "Chen Ang waved his sleeves and wrapped the stone monkey up, rising up into the sky and heading toward Luoyang.
