Chapter 30: The Three Ways of Cutting Dao: Cutting Thoughts, Cutting Dao Heart, and Cutting Dao Path
Thinking of the Kunlun Immortal Clan founded by Emperor Qing, the Dragon Ancestor and the Phoenix Ancestor were filled with mixed feelings. They had gone through countless years and countless hardships before they created the Scale Armor and Flying Bird Clan. But Emperor Qing only created a cultivation system, and then easily created a Kunlun Immortal Clan that was not inferior to the Flying Bird and Scale Armor.
Such things really made them envious, but also puzzled them. Is it so easy to create a clan?
No matter how confused they were, they were looking forward to Emperor Qing, who was able to create the immortal system. After all, Emperor Qing's wisdom was vast and was known to countless cultivators.
Di Qing felt the gazes of many cultivators, and after a little thought, he said, "Forget it, let's spread it. Now the core is to eradicate Luo Lian. So we should try to improve the strength of these ancestors to fight against Luo Lian. Otherwise, if we lose against Luo Lian, it will not be good for Honghuang and the Wu Clan!"
After thinking it over, Di Qing finally decided to pass on the Dharma. Since he had made up his mind, he said, "My fellow Taoists, if you want to talk about enlightenment, I certainly have it. And over the years, I have also comprehended the method of enlightenment that Luo Lianyin passed down through his layout. Then I created a secret method of enlightenment through cutting the Dao. This secret method is not only suitable for me, but also for all living beings in the prehistoric world."
"Today I will take this opportunity to tell you this method of enlightenment, so that you can use it to improve your cultivation and fight against Luo Lian."
"What!" Upon hearing this, Hongjun and the others were shocked and stunned. Although they knew that Emperor Qing was extremely intelligent, creating a method of cultivation was as simple as drinking water.
But it is not so easy to create a method of enlightenment, let alone create a method of enlightenment that can satisfy all cultivators and allow all cultivators to practice.
With the wisdom of their ancestors, it is easy to create their own way to achieve enlightenment. But it is difficult to pass on the way to achieve enlightenment that you have created to others.
Many ancestors were stunned when they heard this, but then they looked at Di Qing with a hint of expectation.
Di Qing had no scruples at this moment, and he had no entanglement in his heart: "The method I created this time is called the Three Methods of Slashing Dao! This method can be regarded as a supplement to the immortal system, and it is also the creation of Daluo Dao Fruit, opening up a new realm. "
"The first of the three methods of beheading that I created is the method of beheading thoughts. The core of this method is to cut off all the distracting thoughts in our souls and minds, and also to cut off all the distracting thoughts in our hearts..."
"You know, from the moment we were born, we have been thinking all the time. Then, we accept cognition through thinking, and we also understand the prehistoric world through thinking. And we make friends with fellow Taoists and comprehend the great Dao through cognition..."
"The more knowledge we gain, the more methods of cultivation we obtain, the more great principles we comprehend, and the more we grow. But as we grow up, our inner selves are no longer as pure as when we were just born."
"To put it simply, the more we grow, the more distracting thoughts we have in our hearts. Eventually, our minds are filled with evil thoughts, good thoughts, obsessions, desires, murderous thoughts... The interweaving of countless distracting thoughts makes our spirits no longer pure, and our hearts of Taoism are clouded by dust."
“Therefore, I created the method of cutting off thoughts. Cut off the distracting thoughts in my soul, cut off the filth in my mind, and then make my soul pure, make my heart pure, and then condense a pure heart of Tao.”
"Those who have obtained the 'heart of pure Tao' can connect heaven and earth with their hearts, communicate with all things in heaven and earth with their hearts, and better comprehend the
To better comprehend the Dao…”
Many cultivators listened, and fell into silence, their eyes gradually shining. As Di Qing spoke, they gradually realized the core of the method of beheading thoughts, and also realized the benefits of purifying their souls. At this moment, Di Qing continued to speak: "After practicing the method of beheading thoughts, you can cut off all your distracting thoughts and make your heart pure. And these distracting thoughts, along with the impurities of the soul that are cut off, can be integrated with the innate spiritual treasures, or innate things, and evolve into an incarnation."
"Cut the thoughts, what a great way to cut the thoughts! The way to cut the thoughts created by Daoist Fellow Di Qing really amazes us. Practicing this method,
Cut off all distracting thoughts that affect self-cultivation, so that our hearts can be pure, enlightenment can be accelerated, and cultivation will naturally improve rapidly."
"However, what is the use of this incarnation that was evolved from the impurities in the soul? After all, can such a filthy incarnation be integrated into oneself in the future?"
"Luo Lianyin laid out the method of attaining enlightenment. Although it is centered on killing the incarnation, the incarnation that is killed mainly serves as a special resource. When we need to prove the truth and break through, it will become our nourishment and help us achieve a qualitative change in our cultivation."
"How can the incarnation of distracting thoughts, which is full of impurities, become the nourishment on our path to success?"
Ancestor Hongjun and other ancestors thought about it, and instantly felt the advantages and disadvantages of the method of cutting thoughts, one of the three methods of cutting created by Di Qing.
Although this method of cutting off thoughts is good, it can only make the soul pure and the enlightenment speed faster after cutting off the distracting thoughts. However, it is difficult to significantly improve the cultivation and strength of the cultivator in a short period of time. Moreover, they dare not integrate the incarnation formed by such distracting thoughts into their bodies again.
Di Qing naturally knew this truth, and immediately said: "As fellow Daoist Hongjun said, the distracting thoughts cut out by the Severing Thoughts Method, and the incarnations evolved from them, are unlikely to become the nutrients we need to achieve enlightenment in the future. That's why there are two methods after the Three Methods of Severing the Dao."
"After the thoughts are cut off, the heart of the Tao is pure. Next, it is time to practice the Cutting Tao Method, one of the Three Methods of Cutting Tao! And the core of the Cutting Tao Method is to cut off the Great Dao."
"I think that during the process of cultivation, all of you fellow Taoists not only comprehend the Great Dao you cultivate, but also comprehend other Great Daos. Or you discuss the Dao with others, comprehend other Great Daos, and feel other people's paths. During this process of comprehension, you may feel that other people's comprehension of the Great Dao is correct, or feel that the Great Dao they cultivate is better than yours. You may even feel that your path is not as good as others'."
"Let's not talk about the distant past. Even today, Luo Lian has used the flesh and blood of all living beings to reverse the chaos and achieve his own chaotic demon body. Doesn't this make many fellow Taoists feel that this method is good, or even yearn for it?"
"This, this..." Many ancestors heard this and felt awkward and a little bitter: "To be honest with you, Daoist Di Qing,
I really thought so in the future. I felt that Luo Lian’s path was more mysterious than ours. I even yearned for it.”
All living beings in the ancient times are pursuing the great way and the way to enlightenment.
Many cultivators naturally admire Luo Lian, who is a cultivator who has reached the half-step of Primordial Chaos and is the closest to enlightenment. Therefore, many people also recognize and admire Luo Lian's path to enlightenment.
In this regard, many ancestors did not shy away from speaking what they thought.
