After hearing Xuan Mingzi say this, Chen Jian and the fat old man looked at each other again.

Chen Jian had to shift the topic to the "primordial spirit" again, because Chen Jian did not understand the primordial spirit enough, so the fat old man naturally did not understand it enough.

When Xuan Mingzi heard Chen Jian ask this question, he fell into silence.

Chen Jian and the fat old man knew very well that Xuan Mingzi fell silent. He was not because he didn't want to answer them, but because he was thinking about how to answer them.

After all, neither Chen Jian nor the fat old man were from Xuan Mingzi's sect. Xuan Mingzi needs to consider explaining the original in language they can understand.

This is like the data obtained by Dujuan’s experiment.

Chen Jian and the others definitely can't understand it, while Du Juan will explain it to Chen Jian and the others in a simple and easy-to-understand way or in an analogy way so that Chen Jian and the others can understand it.

After a while of silence, Xuan Mingzi said: "To explain the words of the primordial spirit, you need to start with the consciousness of the spirit or the consciousness. The consciousness of the spirit and the consciousness are actually the same thing, which refers to our thoughts!"

After a pause, Xuan Mingzi continued: "In the records of my sect's classics, the mind is the mind. The so-called mind, from the perspective of our modern scientific perspective, actually refers to our thoughts. Therefore, the consciousness can be understood as an alias for subjective active consciousness formed in the body and brain that can control the behavior of life bodies, and is actually our thoughts."

Hearing Xuan Mingzi's words, Chen Jian and the fat old man nodded silently.

"As you practice, different stages of your life, your spiritual consciousness will become stronger and stronger, which can be roughly understood as a person's head becoming more and more flexible." Xuan Mingzi said: "It's getting smarter and smarter!"

Immediately afterwards, Xuan Mingzi said: "When you reach a certain stage, your spiritual consciousness will degenerate, or evolve, thereby forming the primordial spirit!"

"The soul is transformed or evolved from the spiritual consciousness." Chen Jian said: "The Taoist priest wants to express this meaning."

"Yes!" Xuan Mingzi nodded and said, "A word is called the soul leaving the body, so I can explain to you what the soul is about. The soul appears through cultivation. It is a kind of existence that can be separated from the body and exists alone. When the body exists, the function of the soul is to control the body. If it is separated from the body, the soul can exist independently. From this, it can be seen that the soul should actually be an existence higher than the body, and probably belongs to a spiritual level!"

After hearing Xuan Mingzi's explanation, Chen Jian and the fat old man completely understood.

Although I have never seen the soul, I can know what the soul is about through Xuan Mingzi's explanation.

As for whether the soul exists or not, it is still the same sentence. I have never encountered it at the moment, and maybe in the future.

Seeing that Chen Jian and the fat old man understood what the soul was like, Xuan Mingzi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I will continue to talk about the situation at different stages of the second half of the cultivation. According to the records of our sect, after pursuing the heavenly tribulation, that is, different stages after achieving enlightenment and becoming an immortal, from low to high, namely the earth immortal, the celestial immortal, the golden immortal, the Great Luo Jinxian, and the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian!"

After a pause, Xuan Mingzi continued: "All records of these immortals at different stages are myths and legends, which involves the myths and legends system. I won't explain it in detail to you. As for the abilities of gods at different stages, there is no specific record at all."

When Chen Jian heard this, he laughed and said, "Master Taoist, this is also very normal. The classics of your sect cannot be written by gods, right? Since they are written by people, although they are only circulated in your sect, they are also circulated in the world. How can the classics written by people and circulated in the world be written by people? How can they write the ability of gods and immortals?"

"It's right." Xuan Mingzi smiled and said, "We won't talk about the others, we only talk about the earth immortals, because the earth immortals are related to the tribulation."

Chen Jian and the fat old man both nodded and quietly waited for Xuan Mingzi's following.

Xuan Mingzi continued: "The result of failure to overcome the tribulation is that what you said is that you have completely died. It should be that both the body and the soul are dead, so it is destroyed. However, the body is destroyed but the soul is immortal, which is between life and death, and between failure and success in the tribulation!"

After a pause, Xuan Mingzi continued: "In this case, there is a choice. First, choose to become an earth immortal. According to the classics of our sect, there is an immortal enthronement in the heavenly court. If the enthronement is accepted, he will become an earth immortal, such as a land, a city god, or something, this is an earth immortal."

"What else can I make if I can become an immortal?" Chen Jian said with a smile: "Isn't what I pursue in cultivation to become an immortal? Is it also an immortal to become an earth immortal?"

Xuan Mingzi smiled and shook his head, saying, "The earth immortals who are enthroned can never leave the fiefdom. Have you ever seen a land temple where villagers build some place on their own and worship the land?"

"See it!" Chen Jian nodded. He grew up in Chenjia Village. There was a land temple built by villagers in Chenjia Village, praying for good weather and other things.

The land temple was not even one square meter enough, and it was about a place less than 80 cm in length and width. It was built with bricks and then enshrined on the land tablets.

To put it bluntly, it is no different from a doghouse.

Seeing Chen Jian's appearance, Xuan Mingzi was sure that Chen Jian had seen a very unbearable land temple. He smiled and said, "If you survive the tribulation, your body is destroyed, your soul is immortal, and you are granted such a land and you will never leave the fiefdom, would you be willing?"

Hearing Xuan Mingzi's words, Chen Jian was speechless and said, "This means that after being named an earth immortal, you cannot leave the fiefdom?"

"What do you think?" Xuan Mingzi laughed and said, "Otherwise, why are you called Earth Immortal?"

Chen Jian shook his head and then described the land temple of Chenjia Village where he grew up, saying: "A place with a larger palm, I will never leave it. Is this a god? Why not be a god? Why not be a god! A god is free and at ease?"

"This is the second choice." Xuan Mingzi nodded with a smile and said, "The body is destroyed and the distance is not destroyed. You can not accept the enthronement of the Heavenly Court. This has become a fiefdom and cannot be called a god. This type is called a scattered immortal. It is also free and free, but it is not eternal life, but only a thousand years of life. When the time comes, the soul will automatically dissipate and return it to heaven and earth!"

"Return the Dharma to heaven and earth?" Chen Jian asked.

"The soul is not a physical body. It can be understood as being composed of spiritual energy, dissipated between heaven and earth, and then it becomes reborn again. What is it not to return the Dharma to heaven and earth?" Xuan Mingzi asked back.
