Chapter 53: Faith in the Scriptures, Transmitting the Way to Zhunti, Gathering Faith, and Resurrecting the White Tiger
Emperor Qing traveled to the west, casting spells to feel everything there was.
Di Qing has been wandering in the West for tens of thousands of years, and gradually revealed a smile: "As I expected, in the battle that year, the White Tiger Ancestor used the residual soul condensed by his luck to protect the Western land on behalf of the White Tiger clan. Although the residual soul was still scattered in the end, it was also rewarded with the merit of exorcising demons because of its contribution to the world. Then the residual souls scattered all over the West were preserved."
"However, these scattered souls are extremely fragile. It is impossible to gather them together again. But the impossible becomes possible in my hands."
"It's a good opportunity to spread the law of faith and create a faith system."
As he said this, Emperor Qing's divine consciousness swept across the west, searching for living beings in the west.
……
After a long time, Di Qing came to a blessed land in the west.
After arriving at this blessed land, Di Qing saw a spiritual root emitting golden light. The golden light emitted by the spiritual root projected onto other people's souls and nourished their wisdom.
Di Qing, who was extremely sensitive to wisdom, was also stunned: "Innate top-grade spiritual root, Bodhi tree! I didn't expect that I would find such a top-grade spiritual root, and it is a Bodhi tree, just by looking around. I didn't expect that "437", Luo Lian's self-explosion did not affect this place, so that this innate spiritual root was not damaged. Moreover, Luo Lian has been rooted in the West for endless years, and he has plundered the endless resources of the West, but he has left behind such a top-grade spiritual root! Something is wrong, it's really wrong!"
As Di Qing spoke, he walked around this blessed land in a circle. Many changes appeared in his eyes. He saw through everything about this blessed land, as well as its mysteries.
Especially when Di Qing came under the Bodhi tree, he saw two monks under the Bodhi tree, both looking at Di Qing with panic and fear.
"So that's how it is. This blessed land is called Sumeru blessed land. Normally, it is like a speck of dust, floating in the west, and is difficult to be discovered by the demons. When Luo Lian self-destructed, this Sumeru land was floating on the edge of the west. Although it was affected, it was not destroyed because it turned into a speck of dust. I have to say, this Sumeru land is very interesting." Di Qing thought in his heart, and then looked at the two monks under the Bodhi tree.
The Sumeru Blessed Land is extremely special. It can usually turn into a speck of dust and float between heaven and earth. Therefore, it has avoided the plundering of demons and Luo Lian’s self-destruction.
And at the core of this Sumeru blessed land, there are two monks.
Emperor Qing's eyes fell on them and he instantly saw through their backgrounds. One was transformed from the Golden Lotus of Creation, and the other was transformed from the Origin of Gengjin. Such backgrounds were also extraordinary, comparable to those of Nuwa and Fuxi.
Now, the two cultivators were very terrified and looked towards Emperor Qing to pay homage: "Western living beings receive the guidance, Zhunti, pay homage to the Immortal Ancestor Emperor Qing..."
"Jie Yin, Zhunti..." Emperor Qing looked at the two of them, but he didn't expect that they were the two saints of the West in the future. Emperor Qing smiled slightly: "You two know me..."
"Well, we brothers have traveled before and have been to Kunlun. Naturally, we know the reputation of the Immortal Ancestor Emperor Qing." Jie Yin became more and more frightened.
Di Qing smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. I won't do anything to you. And I will give you a chance!"
"Opportunity" Zhunti heard this, and a trace of desire and excitement appeared in his eyes. Everyone knows that Emperor Qingxianzu is extremely generous, but he spread the immortal way and created countless immortal ways at will. Especially when he created the three methods of the way of killing, he also took them out.
"It is an opportunity, but also a test. If you can complete the test I give you, perhaps you will be the master of the Western Land in the future." Di Qing pointed with his finger, and a scripture was imprinted in their minds.
“This, this…” Jie Yin’s expression changed. He felt the scriptures stirring in his heart and murmured, “Faith Scripture! This is the Great Way of Faith. I…”
"Yes, it is the scripture of faith evolved from the great way of faith. This scripture carries the law of faith. The test I give you is to practice this law, and then spread the law of faith to all sentient beings in the West. Then, build statues of the White Tiger in various places in the West, so that all sentient beings in the West will believe in the White Tiger Ancestor." Di Qing wanted to resurrect the White Tiger Ancestor, but the White Tiger Ancestor was in a state that could be described as dead.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the White Tiger Ancestor had made great contributions to the world, and the residual soul that he managed to condense did not completely dissipate, but instead scattered all over the west. In addition, the White Tiger Ancestor and the White Tiger clan's marks and traces still remain in various places in the west.
This makes it possible for Di Qing to resurrect the White Tiger Ancestor.
And this method of resurrection is the method of faith. Many novels in later generations have methods of relying on the faith of others to resurrect others. Now the Faith Scripture created by Di Qing allows people to practice this method and believe in the White Tiger Ancestor. Use faith to awaken the scattered residual souls of the White Tiger Ancestor, use faith to condense the residual souls of the White Tiger Ancestor, and finally condense the residual souls of the White Tiger Ancestor, use faith as the body, and completely resurrect the White Tiger Ancestor. Di Qing deduced countless times and felt that this method was the most suitable method to resurrect the White Tiger Ancestor.
However, the best choice for finding monks who believe in the White Tiger Ancestor is the descendants of the White Tiger bloodline and Western monks. After all, the White Tiger is also a Western monk, and its residual soul is also scattered in the West. It has a special connection with the Western sentient beings.
Therefore, Di Qing came to the West this time to find the remaining descendants of the White Tiger clan and Western monks to spread the Taoist faith.
Of course, Di Qing could also spread this method to all parts of the prehistoric world, so that all living beings would believe in the White Tiger Patriarch and then revive him. However, considering that the White Tiger Patriarch's residual soul was scattered in the west, and considering the problems of the cultivators in other places in recognizing the White Tiger Patriarch, Di Qing carefully chose to look for the Western cultivators.
At this moment, Jie Yin and Zhunti had also digested the Faith Scriptures and knew Di Qing's purpose. Their expressions changed slightly: "We brothers are willing to practice this method and call on all sentient beings in the West to believe in the White Tiger Ancestor and help the White Tiger Ancestor to resurrect."
"That's good. But don't worry, after this is done, it will also benefit you." Di Qing did not elaborate on the benefits, but flicked his sleeves and let them feel the blessed land of Xumi, then transmitted his voice: "Hurry up and spread the faith. Before that, your blessed land belongs to me."
Having said this, Di Qing sat down under the Bodhi tree, a top-grade spiritual root. Feeling the improvement of his wisdom brought by this spiritual root, he smiled slightly and fell into contemplation and cultivation.
Jie Yin and Zhunti, who were expelled from Xumi Blessed Land, looked at each other with bitterness and helplessness...
But thinking of the faith method taught by Emperor Qing, he was excited. After all, this was a good opportunity. If he could be tested by Emperor Qing, he might be appreciated by Emperor Qing.
Immediately, both of them, with excitement and effort, began to travel around the West, looking for Western monks, spreading their faith, and building statues of the White Tiger Ancestor.
After the rampage of the demons and Luo Lian's self-explosion, the remaining Western creatures are extremely rare. Although new creatures have taken shape over the years, the background and qualifications of these creatures are far inferior to those of the former Western monks.
Secondly, there was a gap in the inheritance and cognition of these monks. When Jie Yin and Zhunti spread the faith scriptures and asked them to believe in the White Tiger Ancestor, many monks did not know the White Tiger Ancestor and were unwilling to believe in him. At most, they were very interested in the faith scriptures spread by the two.
Jie Yin and Zhunti were also depressed about this. It had only been a short time, but so many monks had forgotten the past. Of course, there were also monks in the West who survived the war. Facing what Jie Yin and Zhunti said, they immediately agreed.
Then we see these knowledgeable Western monks using their tyrannical strength to suppress many new creatures, spread their knowledge, spread the methods of cultivation, and spread the faith in Taoist scriptures.
For tens of thousands of years, statues of the White Tiger Patriarch could be seen everywhere in the West. Countless Western beings practiced and believed in the Taoist scriptures, conveying pure faith to the White Tiger Patriarch, making the statues of the White Tiger Patriarch spread the divine light of faith.
The divine light intertwined like this, and gradually attracted the remaining souls of the White Tiger Ancestor scattered all over the western land, and nurtured these remaining souls with faith.
Emperor Qing also knew about the changes in the West. He was satisfied with the speed of Zhunti and Jieyin, and even more satisfied with the speed of the spread of the faith and scriptures.
Seeing countless monks practicing the way of faith, feeling the cohesion of faith, and feeling the changes of faith. Di Qing comprehended more about the avenue of faith, and with a flick of his sleeves, the power of faith condensed in the west also fell into Di Qing's hands.
The silver-white power of faith was filled with an indescribable change. Di Qing observed carefully: "According to my understanding of faith, faith is the mind, desire, and wish of the monks. Therefore, the monks who gain faith must also satisfy the wishes and desires of these believers, otherwise these complicated wishes will pollute the souls of the believers. Therefore, there is a saying that faith is poisonous."
"However, when I created the Faith Scripture, I specially developed a method, the Burning Thoughts Method. This method can ignite the power of faith and refine the distracting thoughts within. But no matter how perfect the 'Burning Thoughts Method' is, the faith that comes from the heart and soul of the cultivator, when it is continuously generated, is bound to bring with it a continuous stream of impurities. Relying solely on the Burning Thoughts Method is simply not enough."
"But how come the faith of the people in the West in White Tiger Patriarch is so pure? Strange..."
