Chapter 88 [Rise from ruin, revive from extinction]
"In ancient times, most emperors had ordinary bodies."
"Not only Emperor Ancestor, but also Emperor Shenzhou, Emperor Luangu... I haven't heard of any special physique."
The Ji family's Grand Master sighed, "Saint physiques and divine physiques have advantages on the road of cultivation, but when it comes to the stage of attaining enlightenment, physiques are useless and one can only rely on oneself."
"You don't even need to pass the stage of proving the truth. After entering the Great Saint Realm, most of the physical constitution and bloodline are not the most important. Who of those who can reach that stage is ordinary? They all have extraordinary qualities!"
Ji Haoyue and Ye Fan were shocked and understood that this elder from the Ji family was reminding them that although their physique was strong, it was not omnipotent.
Lin Xian listened to the Ji family's Taishang telling stories, listing off the great emperors of the human race, all of whom might be mortal bodies, but the name of one emperor was missing.
"Emperor Hengyu, isn't he a mortal?"
Lin Xian asked curiously
"It is said that Emperor Hengyu is also a mortal." The Ji family's Grand Master pondered for a moment and said slowly: "It's just that his bloodline is a little special. It seems that he is related to the powerful bull demon clan."
"The powerful Bull Demon Clan." Lin Xian suddenly remembered the legend that Emperor Yan was a bull-headed man, and that after the dark turmoil, Heng Yu Lu took the Great Void God King to fly to the ancestral star of the powerful Bull Demon Clan. Adding the legend of the founder of the Human Desire Dao, he suddenly realized and clapped his hands, saying, "That's not surprising, that's not surprising."
Everyone sat and discussed the Dao, talked about physical constitution, and boasted about the kings, which inevitably involved the emperor and the mortal body.
In fact, there are differences between ordinary bodies.
Normal mortal cultivators wander around in the Wheel Sea and the Dao Palace. Those with slightly better talents can reach the Four Poles and the edge of dragon transformation. To reach the immortal platforms above, one either has great talent or great opportunities, which are difficult for mortal cultivators to reach.
A mortal body like that of the Henren Emperor is the worst among all mortal cultivators. It can be called a useless body, which is even inferior to that of ordinary people.
It can be said that the enlightenment talent is maxed out, while the physical talent is zero, or even negative.
In sharp contrast to the ordinary body is nothing less than the son of the universe, the destiny physique, and the chaotic body.
"The Chaos Body, the Chaos Body of the Mythological Era." The Ji Family's Supreme was moved and whispered, "If one day, a person with Chaos Blood appears, then there will be nothing to fight for. In the future, he will be the only one who can rule the nine heavens and ten earths and prove his Dao!"
"Is there really such a person?" Ji Haoyue frowned deeply. If there really is someone who is destined to become an emperor the moment he is born, then what is the point of their hard work in practicing Taoism and countless geniuses competing to succeed?
If there is a chaotic body, it will go through so much hardship to become a God just to be a stepping stone for others. The truth is too cruel.
"The Chaos Body has not manifested for millions of years and has always been a legend."
The Ji family's Grand Lord consoled him, "Twenty-nine thousand years ago, the ruthless emperor was just an ordinary person, yet he killed all the kings and ascended to the Nine Heavens alone. Not even the gods could stand in his way."
"In that life, I had an innate chaotic body. Perhaps, I should, probably, win."
At the end of speaking, the Ji family's Supreme paused and became less confident. After all, that was an innate chaotic body!
He lived in the Ji family's scripture library for a long time, was familiar with various ancient books, and knew the story of the fight between the undeveloped chaotic body and the Heavenly Venerable.
However, the years passed too long ago and no specific records have been passed down.
Make the combat power of the chaotic body unclear.
"Master Lin, what do you think?" Ye Fan turned his head and looked at Lin Xian, intending to ask the magical Lin Xian.
Lin Xian is a mortal, but he said that there is no strongest physique, no highest scripture, only the strongest person.
This kind of spiritual chicken soup made Ye Fan extremely passionate and embarked on the path of cultivation.
But, if the chaotic body really exists, then all the kings in the world, the holy bodies, and the divine bodies will become clowns.
Even the ruthless emperor had a flawed chaotic body in his first life, and it is not certain that he could defeat an innate chaotic body.
"It doesn't matter. I will surrender."
Lin Xian said calmly: "I don't aspire to be an emperor. If the Chaos Body attacks me, I will just follow the Chaos Body."
“Maybe the Chaos Body will let me become the Great Emperor first, and then he will become the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, creating the myth of two emperors in one generation.”
Ye Fan had a dark face, Ji Haoyue turned his head away, Ji Ziyue laughed, and the two old men who were discussing Taoism couldn't help but shook their heads.
This answer can only be described as very Linxian.
"What kind of constitution, what kind of bloodline, why bother with this issue."
Lin Xian stood up and walked away, smiling carefreely, saying leisurely: "If one is born ordinary, and believes that a mortal body can rise against the sky, my heart is not made of stone and cannot be turned. That means my heart is firm and my talent is extraordinary, just like the ruthless emperor." "If one is born noble, has extraordinary innate qualities, is born with the strongest physique, and believes that one can definitely achieve enlightenment, my heart is not made of stone and cannot be turned. That means my ambition is lofty, just like the Wu Shi emperor."
"There are three thousand great ways, and each one can lead to enlightenment."
"If you are born with a holy body, do you think that a mortal body can also achieve enlightenment?" Ye Fan suddenly asked.
Lin Xian took a look and said meaningfully: "That's because you care about all living beings and have the potential to be a Heavenly Emperor."
"Master Lin, you are too kind." Ye Fan accepted it shamelessly without blushing or beating his heart, but then asked, "If you are born in an ordinary body, you think that a special physique can lead to enlightenment."
"There are still such people?" Lin Xian raised his eyelids and said in surprise: "A mortal body can't pity himself, but pity the kings who are born extraordinary. Even if the special physique is poor, they can live for thousands of years. I'm afraid that a mortal body can't even cross the threshold of the sea of suffering, and will turn into ashes in a hundred years."
"As a maid, I don't feel sorry for myself. Instead, I feel sorry for my master who is well-dressed and well-fed."
"How despicable!"
Ye Fan couldn't help but laugh when he heard that. Ji Ziyue was infected by the joy and also covered her mouth and laughed. Even Ji Haoyue couldn't help but shook his head.
This is the difference in the heart of Tao. What one understands and what one feels are different. The mind is like a mirror, reflecting the Tao, others, and oneself.
"It is no shame to be born in a humble family. Only a man who can bend and stretch can be a real man."
Lin Xian said leisurely: "You can be as humble as dust, but you can't be twisted like a maggot. Being a slave for too long and forgetting to resist is the saddest thing."
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Ruoyu was touched. He had a weak constitution in his early years and was ignorant and lost his time. He practiced here for more than decades before he finally woke up from his dream and realized the true meaning of Zhuofeng.
Mysterious methods and inheritance are not important. What is really important is to be yourself. Without a heart of Taoism of his own, even if he is given magical treasures, enlightenment tea, and a protector, he cannot achieve Taoism.
“Is this your way?”
Li Ruoyu's eyes were calm, and he asked calmly: "The entire main peak is a scripture. If you were asked to stay at Zhuofeng, how would you attain enlightenment?"
Lin Xian laughed, stood with his hands behind his back, and said proudly: "Of course, let Ye Fan teach me."
Everyone is ashamed. What is there to be proud of?
Li Ruoyu had a strange look on his face, he practiced the natural way and was in harmony with nature, so he could sense that Lin Xian's words came from his nature and were not false.
He is not acting, he is really posing!
Although Zhuofeng emphasizes being natural and inaction, being outstanding but not clumsy, and having inner brilliance, Lin Xian is too inaction and too Buddhist!
Li Ruoyu asked again: "What should we do when prosperity fades away and returns to silence?"
"Rise from ruin, revive from extinction." Lin Xian replied: "People in this world pursue prosperity and seek the path to becoming an emperor. To become an emperor in this world, one must seek the path to becoming an immortal."
"But the more you fight, the more wounds you suffer, and the harder it is to achieve immortality."
“This is the principle that learning increases day by day, while the Dao decreases day by day.”
"Ordinary monks stop here. Once they perish, they cannot be reborn."
"Little do we know that loss after loss leads to nothingness."
“In great destruction there is also great life.”
“Know the white, keep the black, hide movement in stillness, hide stillness in movement.”
"Practice thunderbolt-like methods, cultivate the way of purity and inaction, keep deep tranquility, reach the extreme of emptiness, hold on to the oneness and keep the center, only then can there be the final rebirth."
"Withering and flourishing is the natural cycle. Plants wither and flourish again. This is the most natural thing, but also the most eternal thing."
"Withering is the source of prosperity, and prosperity is the basis of withering. It can be transformed naturally. It is also a cycle and reincarnation."
“The universe may seem to be flourishing and withering, and the human body may seem to be extinct, but in fact it is neither flourishing nor withering, but both flourishing and withering.”
As soon as the words were spoken, the whole place fell silent, and everyone looked at them in surprise.
Finally, Ye Fan couldn't help but said, "Holy Lord, you have been possessed by someone, right?!"
