It was better for him not to touch Buddhism in the future.
Although Buddhism was profound, no matter how good it was, it was not suitable for him. What was suitable for him was the best.
After listening to his master's explanation, Qin Xiao immediately felt relieved and made a choice in his heart.
Buddhism was indeed a very powerful method, especially against evil forces. It had a restraining effect and could allow the weak to defeat the strong.
Previously, it had indeed blocked a lot of disasters for Qin Xiao, so Qin Xiao still had some thoughts about Buddhism in his heart.
It was also because of this that Qin Xiao wanted to know if it was possible to continue cultivating Buddhism under the condition of constantly severing the seven emotions and six desires.
Now he knew the answer. No.
Since there was no such thing, he could only give it up.
There was nothing to be regretful about. If there was a loss, there would be a gain.
"Master, I have another question. How do I walk the Ancient Road?" Qin Xiao asked again.
This was actually the question he wanted to ask the most.
The Ancient Road was to embark on the path of the Sage.
Only by embarking on the Ancient Road could one transcend the constraints of time and completely jump out of the Three Realms, not be bound by the five elements, and not be bound by time. One could live forever and attain the Sage Path with an indestructible True Deity Heart.
Since ancient times, how many Sages had there been?
Since ancient times, only the Sages had lived forever.
Even the fourth-step Celestial Venerables who could live for more than ten thousand universe eras were extremely rare.
Time would annihilate everything and silently obliterate one's True Deity Heart.
Search for the past, walk the Ancient Road, and finally become a Sage. One could transcend the constraints of time and live forever.
One could truly shine with the sun and moon, live as long as heaven and earth, and live and die together with the Great Thousand World.
Those who did not become a Sage were all ants. This was a sentence often mentioned by the ancient sages.
For those who were below the Sage Realm, this sentence was indeed quite cruel. It was just like how Qin Xiao often said that those who did not become a Celestial Venerable were all ants.
However, after becoming a Celestial Venerable, one would realize that for higher-level life forms, Celestial Venerables were actually ants. They were just slightly stronger ants.
To the current Qin Xiao, anyone who did not become a Saint Venerable was an ant.
Now, it was time for him to set foot on the Ancient Road. However, Qin Xiao didn't have much of an idea about how to walk this Ancient Road.
"The ancient path …" A faint smile appeared on Li Sheng's face. His eyes became profound as if he could see through the river of time.
"Ancient Road, what is the Ancient Road?"
"The Ancient Road is a path that leads to eternity. Stepping on the Ancient Road was the same as stepping on the path to find the eternal river. In the long river of time, he was searching for the traces of time. Thus, he would break free from the shackles of time and step out of the Three Realms.
Within the Five Elements. "
"The so-called Three Realms refers to the meaning of the Three Realms of Heaven and Earth, meaning Heaven and Earth. The Five Elements was the name of all things. Transcend the shackles of time, jump out of the shackles of heaven and earth, and no longer exist in this world. "
"It means that everything is transcendent. Naturally, it is eternal and immortal, undying and indestructible, existing for all eternity."
"All forces will no longer be able to bind you or affect you. You will not die, and your True Deity Heart will also transcend everything."
"And this is the so-called Ancient Road."
Qin Xiao nodded as if he understood. He understood a little, but he didn't completely understand.
These words were very profound, and he still needed to figure it out himself.
But how could he set foot on the path to find the eternal river?
The eternal river wasn't something that existed in reality, but in the rings of time, in the space-time of the past.
"There are thousands upon thousands of ways to step on the Ancient Road, and each is different. Everyone will be able to walk their own unique Ancient Path. "
"There are thousands upon thousands of ways, but there is only one ultimate goal, and that is to break free from the shackles of time and jump out of the Three Realms."
"For example, some people directly use time to reverse and enter the rings of time to find a way to transcend. In the end, they have already broken free from the shackles of time."
"For example, some people forcibly break through the myriad of laws and the rings of time with force, and forcibly step out of the Three Realms."
"For example, some people cultivate extremely well in the Dao of Time, and use the Dao of Time alone to jump out of the Three Realms."
"For example, there are Fruits of Time. Eating them can allow one to break free from the shackles of time and directly jump out of the Three Realms."
"Of course, some people who reach the Holy Sovereign level through these methods only have a high level of cultivation and no strength. If one truly wants to have both strength and a high level of cultivation, then the most appropriate method is to use the Dao to break through. This is the Dao that the vast majority of people cultivate. "
"For example, if you can completely control the laws of the Immortal Dao and use them as you wish, you will be able to break free from your Dao. Using the perfected Dao of the Immortal Dao, you will be able to jump out of the Three Realms. "
"Your Great Dao, the Dao of Heartforce, and even the Dao of True Meaning of Strength can do the same."
"The Dao of the Flying Dagger can also help you jump out of the Three Realms. When your Dao of the Flying Dagger reaches its peak, you will be able to use the Flying Dagger to sever the Dao, break free from the shackles of time, and jump out of the Three Realms. "
"There are thousands upon thousands of ways. It all depends on how you choose to walk them. Which path is the most suitable for you? Only you know best. "
"No matter how much I tell you in detail, it is just a guide for you. However, as for how to walk on this Ancient Road, that will depend on your own comprehension and hard work. "
Qin Xiao nodded. His heart was much clearer.
Although he still didn't know how to walk the path, at least he knew the general direction. With a direction, things would be easier. He would no longer be like a headless fly that couldn't find the light.
The Ancient Path, the path to eternity.
"By the way, I have something to remind you. Although the Dao of Cultivation can allow you to step on the Ancient Path, you must not be obsessed with the Dao of Cultivation. You must not go too deep, or you may get lost. "Sage Li suddenly reminded.
One sentence.
"Huh?" These words puzzled Qin Xiao. He looked at his master in confusion. Why couldn't he go too deep?
To step on the Ancient Path, didn't he need to completely control the laws of the Immortal Dao? Could he only jump out of the Three Realms after cultivating to the extreme?
Sage Li explained, "You should know that there are many Demi-Saints. Do you know why there are Demi-Saints?"
Qin Xiao shook his head. He really hadn't thought about this question.
Shouldn't a Demi-Saint be an existence who had cultivated the laws of the Immortal Dao to the extreme? Shouldn't a Demi-Saint be an existence who was only one step away from becoming a Holy Sage? Shouldn't it be a stage that all cultivators had to go through?
Shouldn't one first reach the Demi-Saint Realm before becoming a Holy Sage?
Was it wrong?
Sage Li's next words solved Qin Xiao's doubts.
"If you envy Demi-Saints and want to become a Demi-Saint, and think that Demi-Saint is the only way to become a Holy Sage, then you are very wrong."
"A Demi-Saint is simply a half-step away from becoming a Holy Sage. He already has one foot in the Holy Realm. But in fact, a Demi-Saint is basically trapped. It is difficult for him to become a Holy Sage in his lifetime. "
"Since ancient times, at most one out of a hundred Demi-Saints can become a Holy Sage in the end."
What?
One out of a hundred?
This, this, this, how is this possible?
A Demi-Saint! Only one out of a hundred Demi-Saints can successfully become an Ancient Sage in the end. How can this be?
Logically speaking, shouldn't all Demi-Saints be able to become Ancient Sages?
His master's words had indeed opened Qin Xiao's eyes to a whole new world, allowing him to have a new understanding of this world.
He also deeply realized how shallow his previous knowledge was. He didn't expect Demi-Saints to be in such a situation.
But why was it like this?
"Qin Xiao, I'll give you a very simple example. You'll understand soon enough."
"Let's take your True Incantation of Lin as an example. When you fought with Fu Zhongxuan, the True Incantation of Lin reached perfection. You perfectly mastered one of the Nine Secrets."
"Carefully recall that your final breakthrough reached perfection and perfect control. Did you really completely comprehend all the mysteries and roots of the True Incantation of Lin?"
Qin Xiao was slightly stunned. At first, he didn't think so.
But after carefully recalling, he still didn't think so.
Yes, his breakthrough of the True Incantation of Lin didn't completely comprehend all the roots and mysteries of the True Incantation of Lin. But he still broke through.
After the breakthrough, he instantly grasped a lot of things. Only then could he be considered to have completely comprehended it.
But he didn't really comprehend it completely and still had a breakthrough. Qin Xiao had indeed never thought of this question before.
Now that he thought about it carefully, he suddenly understood some things.
He somewhat understood.
Sage Li continued, "Take the Immortal Dao for example. If you want to fully comprehend every law of the Immortal Dao, then you will fall into a maze."
"Those Demi-Saints are actually like this. In fact, they have walked into a maze."
"They have been unable to break through, so they have been immersed in the comprehension of the Immortal Dao. They have comprehended every law of the Immortal Dao. But to fully comprehend all of them is easier said than done. "
"But the advantage is that the more you comprehend, the more powerful you will naturally be. Therefore, the Demi-Saints have appeared. "
"But in fact, these Demi-Saints are pitiful. Once you fall into this maze, it will be difficult for you to find another way out. There is no turning back. Naturally, all other paths have been cut off by you. You can only walk one path to the end. "
"In this way, the situation of a Demi-Saint becoming a Saint is extremely, extremely rare."
"Therefore, Master also wants to remind you that you must not let yourself fall into a maze. Don't envy those Demi-Saints, don't think about becoming a Demi-Saint, and don't cut off your path."
"You need to comprehend the Immortal Dao, but you can't blindly comprehend it."
"Master has already told you that there are thousands of ancient paths. It depends on how you take them. You can't set foot on the ancient path only after you have fully comprehended and mastered the Immortal Dao. This is a misunderstanding. "
"It's like eating a meal. You don't have to chew the meal into tiny particles before you can swallow it."
"If your throat is big, you can swallow it directly without biting. Even if your throat isn't big, you can swallow it with a few bites. "
"The longer you bite, the more you may forget how to swallow because you always feel that it's not thin enough and that it can be thinner."
"Cultivation is like this. If you fall into a maze, you will feel that your comprehension is not deep enough. You can go a little deeper, a little deeper."
"In that case, it will be difficult for you to walk out of that boundless vortex."
Qin Xiao suddenly understood what was going on.
Nodding, Qin Xiao looked enlightened. "I understand, Master. I know how to cultivate. Thank you for your guidance. Otherwise, I really might have fallen into this misunderstanding. "
"Haha, not necessarily. You have your own good fortune. Even if Master doesn't remind you of this today, you will slowly understand. "
