Chapter 31: Cut off my Dharma, cut off my Dao body, create the realm of quasi-saint, divide the four realms of quasi-saint, and supplement the innate incarnation
Di Qing naturally knew all this, and said with emotion: "Luo Lian's path to enlightenment has influenced us. Others' paths to enlightenment have also influenced us. It can be said that our paths, as we practice and as we gain knowledge, are inevitably influenced by others' paths. Such influence is bound to affect our own future cultivation."
"Therefore, I created the second of the Three Dao-Severing Methods: Dao-Severing Method, which is to sever all the influence of these Daos and cut off the influence of others on one's Dao path. This allows one to be firm in one's own Dao path, and to make the Dao one cultivates pure and unaffected by others. In this way, one's Dao path becomes pure, and one's cultivation also undergoes a qualitative change."
Silence, many cultivators fell into silence. They all agreed with what Di Qing said. There was no doubt that Di Qing was right. If one could eliminate the influence of others on his path, then when he pursued his path, his strength would definitely change qualitatively.
"The Dao-slashing method is to cut off the influence of external Dao on oneself."
"And the last of the three methods of cutting the Dao is called the 'Method of Cutting Myself'. What is the 'Method of Cutting Myself'? It is to cut off the influence of the self on the Dao that one is cultivating."
"Fellow Daoists, since you set foot on the path of cultivation and chose the avenue you want to cultivate, you will probably encounter some subtle conflicts between yourself and the avenue you are cultivating. For example, Daoist Nüwa, whom I am familiar with, was transformed from the origin of Yin, and should have been suitable for cultivating the avenue of Yin, but Daoist Nüwa chose to cultivate the avenue of creation. With such cultivation, the avenue you cultivate and your own foundation will inevitably be incompatible."
"In addition, as we cultivate, we get certain opportunities, or we cultivate some special methods, which in turn affect ourselves and bring about some changes that are not in line with the great way we cultivate. These changes more or less affect the great way we cultivate."
"And the third of the three methods of cutting the way I created, the method of cutting myself, is to cut off everything in myself that is not in line with the great way that I cultivate. Cut off the dregs that affect the great way that I cultivate, what I see and hear, and the dregs that affect the great way that I cultivate."
"If you cultivate the three methods of cutting the Dao in this way, it will be enough to make your Dao heart pure, your Dao path flawless, and your body pure. Then you will reach a state where the Dao and I are round and one, and a state where the Dao is me and I am the Dao."
The Three Ways of Slashing Dao are mysterious and unparalleled, and they fit all living things in the prehistoric world. Such a method was also created by Emperor Qing with great painstaking efforts and countless wisdom. Although this method is fundamentally different from the method of Slashing Three Corpses rumored in later generations, Emperor Qing is confident that the Three Ways of Slashing Dao he created is definitely not inferior to the method of Slashing Corpses.
As Emperor Qing explained the three methods of beheading, all the cultivators in the temple fell into a mysterious state of enlightenment.
They comprehended the mysteries of the Three Ways of Slashing Dao, and also comprehended the various things that this method brought. While comprehending, they were also filled with emotion, and they had endless recognition and admiration for the method created by Di Qing. With their wisdom and knowledge, they naturally knew that if they could cultivate the Three Ways of Slashing Dao, their cultivation would definitely increase greatly.
They had great respect and were filled with emotion for Di Qing, who was able to create the Three Ways of Cutting.
Zulong sighed slightly at this moment, a little frustrated, but also with admiration: "Cut the thought method, cut out a pure heart of Tao. Cut the Tao method, cut out a pure path of Tao. Cut the self method, cut out a pure self, a close self! The three methods of Taoism created by Daoist friend Diqing are really amazing. I, Zulong, admire, admire..."
The Phoenix Patriarch and the others were the same, nodding their heads in praise, "Yes, the method created by Daoist Fellow Di Qing really makes us feel inferior. We have been meditating for many years, discussing the Dao with each other for many years, and have created many methods of achieving the Dao, but none of them can compare to the Three Dao Slashing Methods. Daoist Fellow Di Qing's wisdom is truly amazing..."
Regardless of how they praised him, Di Qing continued, "Thank you, fellow Taoists. The three methods of killing the way that I created, in addition to improving myself, also improve the realm division of the immortal system. Above the Daluo Dao Fruit in the immortal system is the Hunyuan realm. Now, there is a realm divided, this realm is called the Quasi-Sage realm."
"Any cultivator who has reached the Daluo Dao Fruit realm, after mastering the method of severing thoughts, will undergo a transformation and enter the early stage of Quasi-Saint. After mastering the method of severing Dao, their cultivation will enter the middle stage of Quasi-Saint. After mastering the method of severing me, their cultivation will enter the late stage of Quasi-Saint."
"After three such slashes, the avatars slashed out all cultivated to the state of perfection. Their cultivation level reached the level of Quasi-Saint Great Perfection. The three avatars slashed out merged with each other and became one, and their cultivation level reached the level of Half-Step Primordial Chaos. The three avatars merged with each other and entered the Primordial Chaos realm."
"Three Ways of Slashing, the realm of Quasi-Saints? This realm division, filling the Immortal Way system, really makes the Immortal Way system the most complete and perfect cultivation system in the current prehistoric world. However, this realm division is secondary. The key is still the Three Ways of Slashing!"
Zulong seemed to be thinking about something. He had no doubts about the realm division of Diqing, but agreed with it. But what he was concerned about now was not the realm division.
Not only Zulong, but other cultivators were like this. Phoenix Patriarch even asked, "Fellow Daoist Diqing, these three methods of beheading are extremely perfect, and we all yearn for them. However, what the three methods of beheading cut out are all our own filth and impurities." "Even if the incarnations condensed from these filth and impurities are integrated with each other, how can they become the foundation for us to make further progress in the future? After all, the core of the method of becoming a Tao that Luo Kuiyin planned to spread is to use the incarnations cut out to become the foundation for one's own cultivation, and when one becomes a Tao, they will become cultivation resources to help oneself become a Tao."
Emperor Qing smiled upon hearing this, and naturally understood their doubts: "What the three methods of cutting out are all impurities and filth within oneself. The incarnation condensed from such filth is naturally full of filth. If it is integrated into the self, it will definitely affect oneself. However, can the incarnation condensed from filth not be pure?"
"The Quasi-Saint Great Perfection that I have divided allows the incarnations I have created to cultivate to perfection, and this perfection is to make my incarnation pure and powerful."
"As for how to make the filthy incarnation pure, that depends on the innate thing that carries the incarnation."
"Innate things? Immortal system? So that's it..." Hongjun figured everything out in an instant, and when he looked at Di Qing again, his eyes changed and were full of admiration.
Hongjun's murmur seemed to awaken the wisdom of many cultivators and made them gradually figure out the mystery.
Emperor Qing looked at Hongjun and the others and realized something. He did not hide it and continued, "I said at the beginning that the Three Ways of Slashing can be regarded as a perfect system of immortals. And the Taiyi Realm of the immortal system has the saying 'the way of heaven is to reduce the excess and supplement the deficiency'. Use the innate things to supplement oneself, improve one's own footing, and improve one's own qualifications."
"The filthy incarnations cut out by the three methods of cutting the way are integrated with special innate things. With the innate origin of the innate things to nourish them, they gradually purify themselves and gradually improve themselves, and finally make these filthy incarnations pure and strong, and finally transform into incarnations with qualifications that are not inferior to ours. In this way, these incarnations are also enough to become the foundation for our path to success."
"Of course, if you really want to transform your filthy incarnation, it also depends on the innate things you choose. If the choice is too bad, it will affect the cultivation of your incarnation."
Emperor Qing warned many cultivators with a slight warning, but many cultivators became excited about this matter, and wanted to practice the Three Ways of Zhan as soon as possible.
Among them, they have been able to see the vastness of the Three Ways of Slashing, and can also see the growth that comes from practicing this method. They can't wait to practice.
In their eagerness, they looked at Di Qing, who had created this method and selflessly passed it on to them, and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, Daoist Fellow Di Qing, for teaching us the method and admonishing us. We are grateful to you. In the future, if we succeed in practicing the Three Methods of Slashing Dao, we will definitely owe you a favor."
"Me too!" Many ancestors said in unison. They all wanted to practice this method and were willing to owe favors.
That's right, Di Qing seemed to be spreading this method for free, but they couldn't just be so thick-skinned and pretend to be indifferent and accept it. They had to give something in return. But now they didn't know what to give in return, so they could only owe him a favor first.
Di Qing did not care too much about this, instead he said: "I appreciate the kindness of fellow Taoists. But right now, fighting against Luo Lian is the most important thing, so fellow Taoists who want to practice the three methods of killing the way should practice in seclusion as soon as possible to improve themselves."
“Haha… Fellow Daoist Di Qing is so generous. We will return to practice now. Goodbye…” The Yin-Yang Patriarch laughed, bowed, and turned to leave.
The other monks did the same, returning to their own temples to practice, striving to master this method as quickly as possible.
Di Qing didn't care about this. He waved his hand as a farewell to them.
