Lou Xiaoyi had a relatively peaceful life again. Cultivating, seeking advice, and lecturing!
Cultivation was a personal matter. Lecturing was a matter between him and Perfected Lord Xiao Jia. Seeking advice? Since things had come to this, he naturally could not let go of White Brows, the most powerful teacher in the Carefree Travel!
The main thing was the Three Lives. This was his most unforgettable worry. It was not that he wanted to provoke the Sun God, but based on the trajectory of his growth over the years, he was destined to be unable to avoid conflict with the Sun God!
Seeking advice from White Brows was also a form of attitude!
Solemnly swearing that he was a member of the Carefree Travel Team, this was not convincing at all! There were too many variables in this! In the cultivation world, the teacher was the most important. When you formally sought guidance from the head of a sect, it was a tacit agreement. Even if there was no formal master-disciple relationship, the establishment of karma was the most unbreakable.
Only then could White Brows be truly at ease! This was the mystery of Daoism. It was not about how important the mission was or how great the contribution was. Instead, it was about how you sought guidance from him and he answered you without holding back!
"The Three Lives?"
White Brows laughed involuntarily. He knew that this little fellow would seek guidance from him, but he did not expect it to be in this aspect! Under normal circumstances, most cultivators who had just entered the Yin Spirit realm would seek guidance on some questions regarding the Dao realm. However, for a Swordsman, it was not surprising that he wanted to kill someone in a hurry.
"The Three Lives is a huge topic! It is so huge that a poor cultivator might not be able to understand it in his entire life!
There must be a similar description in your sword range's orthodoxy! In my Carefree Travel, there are even more such topics! These can all be learned through self-cultivation, so I won't say more. Let's talk about some of my insights on the Three Lives. Whatever comes to mind! "
Lou Xiaoyi nodded in agreement. The most important thing for an elder to impart Dao was whether he was willing to share his own insights with you. It was not something that was written on jade slips that were widely spread! One was a widely expanded version, the other was a hidden secret. They could not be mentioned in the same breath.
"Speaking of the Three Lives, the first thing we need to talk about is the sects related to the Three Lives. In Buddhism, in Daoism, in the Primordial Age, and now, they are all different. There are differences in the understanding of Daoism, and there are also differences in the development of cultivation!
For those of us who study the Dao, let's talk about Daoism!
There were all sorts of strange schools of thought, but their general direction was the same!
Traditionally, the three lives were the past, present, and future! However, the Cultivation doctrine is changing with each passing day. Now, everyone is leaning towards the ego and self-transcendence. In fact, the essence is the same. It's just that something new has been mixed in. "
Lou Xiaoyi listened quietly, not daring to interrupt.
"Everyone has three lives! Cultivators had it, mortals had it, and even immortals had it. However, the three lives of immortals combined into one was a completely different matter!
Since ancient times, the concept of three lives had been widely discussed and there was no final conclusion! The most crucial point of disagreement was whether or not there was such a space and time where there were countless past, present, and future versions of you existing in different dimensions.
If so, wouldn't space and time be too complicated? There are so many humans in the universe! Everyone has countless past lives and countless future lives. Just thinking about it makes one's scalp tingle! "
Lou Xiaoyi's heart was filled with sorrow! This was his greatest doubt about the theory of three lives!
According to the most ancient Three Lives Theory, he alone had countless previous lives and future lives. Then, would there also be an Immortal Court in these previous lives and future lives? Were they different Immortal Courts? Or did they have a common Immortal Court?
How did his past and future lives intersect with other people's past and future lives? If the past and future lives of trillions of people were torn together, how could they be clearly separated?
Therefore, he had always been suspicious about the existence of past and future lives! Even if there were countless different dimensions in the universe at the same time, he doubted that the Heavenly Dao had the energy to manage it.
Managing the universe in reality was already a mess, and it had to be restarted. If it was added with trillions and trillions of times, even the Heavenly Dao would be exhausted to death!
"Therefore, there was a new doctrine later on. The ego, the ego, and the superego! This kind of theory turned the materialized Three Lifetimes Study into a form of ideology! In other words, your past and future lives are just a deep projection in the depths of your soul!
They do exist! They just exist in your consciousness!
The universe is such a universe! The world is such a world! An Immortal Court! An Immortal Court!
You can't go back to the past. Even if you really go back, it's only an ideological return! It's just a dream!
You can't go to the future either. Even if you really go, it's just a dream. And dreams will end one day! "
Lou Xiaoyi muttered, "So, it's actually the obsessions in the deepest part of a cultivator's consciousness that are cut? Obsessions about the past? Visions of the future? "
The white-browed man nodded. "Yes, everyone has obsessions! The ancient Corpse Severing Dao is the peak of severing obsessions!
But in fact, a cultivator severing obsessions doesn't just start from being a Half-Immortal! It starts from the moment you step into the door of cultivation! It's just that your obsessions during Foundation Establishment are very superficial and childish! For example, hatred, kinship, and all kinds of things in the mortal world … We Daoists call these mental states. In fact, to put it bluntly, they're the superficial embodiment of obsessions!
As a cultivator's realm gets higher and higher, the threshold of the mental state becomes more and more difficult, and they begin to truly come into contact with the essence of obsessions! Finally, after passing the Yang Spirit stage, severing the good and evil corpses becomes the so-called unique secret method of Dao Integration!
In this process, it's just that the Yang Spirit stage is more specific and consistent with the embodiment of obsessions! At this stage, time and space become a Dao realm that you must master to be able to reach the upper realm. This is the uniqueness of time and space in becoming an immortal!
It's precisely because of the uniqueness of time and space in this period that if you want to kill a cultivator at the Yang Spirit stage, you must kill their three lives!
It sounds very profound and makes you think that Yang Spirit Perfected Lords are amazing. In fact, in a cultivator's life of cultivation, severing obsessions has always been in progress! It's just that at the Yang Spirit stage, obsessions are the nature of time and space, the three lives! "
Lou Xiaoyi stood up and bowed deeply. These things couldn't be talked about in books, and they couldn't be kept. In fact, they were the deepest insights of a top old Yang Spirit for thousands of years!
Bai Mei's gift was really heavy. If it were someone else, how could they tell you these things? Go figure it out yourself for thousands of years!
The White Browed Elder accepted his bow calmly! Because he deserved it! Ever since he first saw this little guy on the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, he had given him a very amazing feeling. It wasn't an external killing intent, but something inside that left a deep impression!
For hundreds of years, he had been secretly observing him. What made him depressed was that every step he took was not within his expectations! Yet, he could achieve his goal to the greatest extent!
Thus, he knew that this was a person he could never control!
Was it erasure? Or investment? It was needless to say for Daoists!
The key was that if the skin didn't exist, how could the hair attach to it?
If the five rings that pushed down morality really collapsed, how could he, Zhou Xian, survive alone?
They would either go to glory together or go to destruction together!
Therefore, it was his responsibility to help this little guy stand up as soon as possible! He could feel that this little guy would play a role in the great changes of the world in the future!
This was the reason why Daoists existed for so long!
