The power of faith!
Lou Xiaoyi had never thought that Crow Ancestor had mastered the power of faith! This could only mean that the power of faith would not stop a cultivator from reaching the upper realm. At the very least, Crow Ancestor was moral and had the potential of becoming a Daluo!
Then, was Wen Zhi lying to him? Was it to keep him away from Sky Eyes? Close to his path of faith? Was that why he lied?
He could not jump to conclusions so easily! This was Lou Xiaoyi's usual way of doing things!
There was another possibility! Since there was a difference between the path of faith and Sky Eyes in this cultivation world, could there be a third type of faith? Like Crow Ancestor, which belonged to Swordsman alone? Belonged to him alone? Did he not rely on the system or Sky Eyes?
Then, should he master the power of faith or not?
Sky Eyes' faith was a faith that was imposed on others. He refused to accept it, no matter what benefits there were, no matter how difficult the situation was!
He was not familiar with the power of faith! He never predetermined whether it was good or bad. He would only make a decision after he had seen, heard, thought, and thought about it! Before that, he still insisted on being himself!
Crow Ancestor's faith was, in theory, the safest faith! There were no aftereffects, and it could directly connect to the path of Dao. It could also increase one's strength and increase one's attack power! It was a waste not to take it!
Would you not want something that you could take for free? Especially when it was so strenuous?
In the depths of his soul, Lou Xiaoyi felt that something was cheering, as if it was welcoming the arrival of faith! He did not know why he had such a feeling. Could this be what Wen Zhi said, that he was a person with strong faith in his previous life?
Everyone had three lives, but the past life in the depths of his soul was still a little unclear in his current realm. His past life might be blurry, but his faith had led him to the forefront.
He could not control the feeling of accepting faith!
It was also because his soul reacted to Crow Ancestor's faith that he knew that Crow Ancestor's faith was compassion!
Compassion? You bad old man, I'm not going to believe you!
As he fought with his sword, he felt more and more strenuous! The feeling in the depths of his soul kept urging him, 'Hurry, hurry, accept faith, then you can fight Crow Ancestor head-on!'
Don't like compassion? No problem, still want to live! Wasn't this practical? If you don't like it, it's okay. There's more. There's always something you like … Lou Xiaoyi was surprised to find that the Crow Ancestor not only understood faith, but also different faiths!
The power of faith was not used to strengthen one's attack power, but to reduce the opponent's defense power! Every additional faith was like scraping off 10% of the opponent's skin! This was also the reason why he could not withstand the Crow Ancestor's faith!
In a battle between experts, the difference was only a hair's breadth. Now that there was a difference of one level, the impact was huge!
So, the more of these things, the better? If he could cultivate nine believers, wouldn't his opponent become a naked pig?
If that was the case, what was the point of learning swordsmanship? Just delve into faith!
In the face of temptation, Lou Xiaoyi's willpower was firm. He forcefully suppressed the impulse deep within his soul. His attitude was very clear!
If he must have a belief, it must belong to him! It wasn't something that was forced upon him by others, even though it seemed so beautiful, so tempting, and was once the faith of a Perfected Golden Immortal!
Moreover, he wasn't prepared to accept it yet!
I don't need it! I'm Lou Xiaoyi! The one and only me! I'm the reincarnation of my little universe!
As the thought passed down, the depths of his soul shattered with a bang. Something died, and something else was born!
Lou Xiaoyi swung his sword and actually scattered the Crow Ancestor's flying sword!
This, this was the power of faith!
Unknowingly, he had rejected the temptation of increasing his strength and the guidance of the Crow Ancestor. All of this had in fact helped him reject the faith of others, but it was also because of this that his own faith was born!
Independence!
Yes, this was his faith, a faith that could exert a certain amount of influence. Despite his endless rejection, it still took over his body!
This was not up to him! Because it was set in his previous life!
Wen Zhi had told him that there were countless beliefs in this world, from trivial matters to the interstellar universe. It was just a resonance of the spirit to a certain obsession!
He finally understood what faith was! Why was the Dao of faith rejected by Daoism?
That was because the two schools had different standpoints and applications of cultivators' obsessions!
To put it simply, Daoism cultivated obsessions in order to cut them! From the beginning of Foundation Establishment, small obsessions were unceasing. The Sun God's Three Lives Obsessions Cut, until the Good and Evil Corpses' obsessions before becoming an immortal. The entire cultivation process was a process of constantly cutting off one's own obsessions, big and small. In the end, one would have no worries and transcend to become an immortal!
The Dao of faith also cultivated obsessions, but it was not to cut them, but to carry them forward! In the end, such obsessions were condensed into faith! It transcended the scope of the Good and Evil Corpses and became an inseparable part of the cultivator!
From the Crow Ancestor's performance, it could be seen that when he cut off the Good and Evil Corpses, he did not cut off his own obsessions and beliefs!
Therefore, the Crow Ancestor had always been a person of flesh and blood, and not an emotionless immortal! Because his faith was with him, inseparable! This was also why he had pushed down the first domino of morality, while other immortals could not do it!
Other immortals no longer had obsessions, they would not be moved by anything that happened in the world! They would not be moved! They would not be angry! They would not be happy! Of course, they would not sacrifice themselves!
The Crow Ancestor was different! He had faith with him! Although Lou Xiaoyi still did not understand why the Crow Ancestor sacrificed himself when he clearly had the belief of being greedy for life. Could this be the conductivity of the positive and negative nature?
Since he started cultivating, he had never read any ancient books or legends about the Crow Ancestor, but now he thought that he had a deep understanding of the Crow Ancestor, and even came into contact with the truth of why the Crow Ancestor sacrificed himself and took away part of morality! His motive was still unknown, but he understood why he had the ability to do so!
Faith was very harmful! At least, it was so for the Immortal Court! If all the immortals in the Immortal Court had faith, perhaps it would no longer be a harmonious environment where everyone pushed and pushed each other, right?
The difference in faith would not coexist, and sooner or later, the immortals would be beaten to a pulp! Lou Xiaoyi thought maliciously, in fact, the immortals in the Immortal Court were the ones who needed faith the most!
He was a person with aspirations, a person who thought he was noble, and of course, he was also a person from the Dafa! Whenever he had something good, he would feel uncomfortable if he did not introduce it to others. If he went to the Immortal Court one day, he would promote this thing sooner or later!
This was an afterthought, a delusion, and the discomfort of being held captive by faith for no reason!
Now, he had to consider his own problem! It was rational, not emotional!
Since he was already here, he might as well take things as they came. Since he couldn't avoid faith, then how should he make good use of it?
Or rather, how could he not be completely controlled by faith?
