While Lou Xiaoyi was leading the way, he had a very interesting conversation partner. Of course, Wen Zhi still wanted to lure him into a trap. Similarly, he also wanted to test his willpower in this process!
He had such confidence because he was very clear about his previous life! The problem was, what about his previous life?
Regarding faith, because of his previous life, he had his own unique views. These things had been thoroughly explored in the world of his previous life. In this world of cultivation, it was basically impossible to use these things to tempt him!
The reason why he had been playing this game with this strange old man was because of some very practical reasons. For example, how did he make his Doom Gaze unable to focus?
"Everyone has faith. Whether you admit it or not, it is an objective existence, especially for cultivators. Without some kind of persistence, you can forget about achieving success on the road of cultivation!
For example, your persistence in the sword. If I say it is a kind of faith, you won't object, right?
There are many others, such as the persistence in the Tao, the persistence in the idea, the persistence in the view of the universe, the persistence in right and wrong, and so on. In fact, they are all a kind of faith that has long existed in your life, cultivation, and dealing with people. You just don't know it.
These things are actually faith. You only need to condense them to form a core, and then persist in it. That is faith!
When such faith is condensed to a high enough level and you can practice it, you will feel the power of faith more directly, which is what you call the manifestation of faith! "
Lou Xiaoyi retorted, "But a lot of my persistence is changing! Take the sword for example. Since I started to build the foundation, it has never stopped changing! Then, can faith also be changed and modified at will? "
Wen Zhi replied, "Once faith is formed, it will never change!
You can't measure faith with the change of your sword skills! That is only a change of technique, a change of appearance. Do you dare to say that from the moment you learned the sword, even from the outer sword to the inner sword, even if the sword pill, the sword case, the sword disc, and the sword form are ever-changing, but the essence of the sword has changed? Isn't the sword in your heart when you first entered the Sword Tao?
If you think that your faith can still change, it can only mean that you haven't reached the peak of the condensation of faith, and you haven't touched the core! "
The old man's words really made Lou Xiaoyi unable to refute, because the truth was that the sword in his heart had never changed. This had nothing to do with the shape of the sword!
"What kind of condensation can form faith? Is there a standard? Is it your own definition? Or is there a system? "
Wen Zhi was quite proud. Obviously, he had a deep belief in his own orthodoxy, "Faith is all-encompassing! It has both a system and an individual, it! To achieve a perfect combination between the two!
Speaking of systems, beliefs included the beliefs of Heaven and Earth, ancestral beliefs, primitive beliefs, religious beliefs, social beliefs, and ideologies. It almost included everything!
Just like the 36 Connate Daos of your Daoist and Buddhist sects, they are also included in the beliefs. We also have moral beliefs and cognitive beliefs!
You don't need to think about where you are in the system, or which faith you should lean towards. There's no need!
You only need to refine the most sacred and inviolable thing in your heart. Then, it will become your faith! "
Lou Xiaoyi couldn't help but laugh, "Then, even mortals can become saints! A woman who waits for decades for her husband who hasn't returned from war, is that also a faith? "
Wen Zhi said firmly, "Of course, this faith is loyalty! It means that her state of mind has met the requirements of faith, and all that's left is some materialization methods! "
Lou Xiaoyi shook his head, "It's too vague! In the end, the materialization methods are still in the hands of people like you, so what's the point of talking about faith? It's just faith that's been kidnapped!
I don't like it because it takes away the joy of pursuit. Perseverance will be rewarded, but it's a joke. There's no planning, no planning, it's too idealistic.
I'm a Swordsman, but I don't know how I'll wield my sword after I've achieved something in my faith. Can I kill with just faith? Won't I need to practice my sword every day? Won't I need to consider my own swordsmanship system? When the opponent's ever-changing Dao realm appears, will I be able to resolve it with just a simple 'I have faith'? "
Old Man Wen Zhi sighed. He had to admit that this Swordsman was terrifyingly clear-headed, but the reality was simple! At the end of the day, faith orthodoxies had all kinds of shortcomings that couldn't be remedied. This was also the epitome of why faith was struggling to survive in the cracks between Buddhism and Daoism.
"You're right! Faith orthodoxies have many limitations. If it weren't for that, the cultivation world of this universe wouldn't only have Daoism and Buddhism! I admit that!
But faith orthodoxies have a great advantage, and that is, they don't have the problem of compatibility with other orthodoxies! To put it simply, cultivators can continue to cultivate in their original dao system. However, due to the addition of a certain faith, they will have even more extraordinary abilities. In certain situations, they will be able to help you do things that you wouldn't have been able to do before! "
Lou Xiaoyi hit the nail on the head, "This is a compromise that faith orthodoxies have no choice but to choose, right? Just existing as a realm, sect, or orthodoxies will attract too much attention, especially from malicious suppression?
So they break up and use coexistence to achieve the purpose of spreading faith?
Coexistence is also existence!
Then, is it because they see the hope of the new era, that's why there are such changes? "
Wen Zhi sighed. This Swordsman's intuition was terrifying! He could accurately point out the deeper intentions of faith orthodoxies as soon as he came into contact with them. This was something that only experienced believers like them had the opportunity to understand. Who would have thought that this Swordsman's mouth would mercilessly reveal the hidden intentions behind so many of them!
There were countless talents in both Daoism and Buddhism that couldn't be underestimated!
Everything was for the sake of being in a more advantageous position when the new era begins!
Daoism thought so, Buddhism thought so, and so did their faith orthodoxies!
Actually, who didn't think so? There were even more ambitious people like the Sword Vein, the Body Vein, and the Spirit Vein! They all had their own desires! There were also Immemorial Sacred Beasts, Innate Spiritual Treasures, and other major races!
Who wouldn't want to have a better start in the great changes in the future?
Actually, everyone was doing the same thing, and everyone was well aware of it. For themselves, for the orthodoxies, and for those things that they persevered in, there was no right or wrong!
But the cake of the Heavenly Axiom was only so big. The more you take, the less I take. This opportunity only comes once every few million years, so who should give in to who?
The battle of the Great Dao was only at the beginning. It would only get more intense as time went on, until the moment when the dagger would be revealed!
