4520. Chapter 4520 Three Corpses
The Skeleton Emperor without a body was extremely weak in defense and could not resist the strangulation of space power. He was soon destroyed under the bombardment of the black and white storm!
Although the ability of the Skeleton Emperor is amazing, the magical powers he exerted are based on his own power of the dead soul and the power of curse. However, this type of magical power cannot hurt Zhang Daoling, who has mastered the power of law, in the slightest.
In other words, Zhang Daoling's existence is like the nemesis of the Skeleton Emperor.
Of course, the Skeleton Emperor would not have been killed by Zhang Daoling.
In fact, because the Skeleton Emperor absorbed too many evil souls from the Demon-Suppressing Tower, his soul body was contaminated with excessive death energy, and he had long become a dead soul and could not exist in the world as a complete body.
The Skeleton Emperor summoned by the Demon-Suppressing Tower exists as a phantom spirit. In other words, part of the soul power distributed by the Skeleton Emperor himself can be regarded as the soul clone.
The one who was killed by the black and white storm was just the soul clone of the Skeleton Emperor, and it would not hurt the life of the Skeleton Emperor.
Even so, the clone was completely defeated, which inevitably caused great damage to the soul power of the deity.
Shen Lang may not be able to awaken the Skeleton Emperor for a long time.
Seeing that the figure of the Skeleton Emperor was instantly killed by the black and white storm released by Zhang Daoling, Shen Lang's face looked extremely ugly. It seemed that Zhang Daoling was stronger than he imagined.
Duan Lei and Bingxue were also as beautiful as the faces.
Even if I don’t want to admit it, I have to say that the clone of Yuanshi Tianzun is simply unfathomable!
However, Zhang Daoling actually called Shen Lang "a disciple", which really made Bingxue and Duan Lei a little incredible.
"Are you... Yuanshi Tianzun or Zhang Daoling?"
Shen Lang did not rush to do it, but gritted his teeth and asked.
Although Zhang Daoling's identity has almost been concluded, Shen Lang is still suspicious. He feels that there should be a more subtle relationship between Yuanshi Tianzun and Zhang Daoling, rather than being limited to the clone and the deity.
Bingxue and Duan Lei, who were standing beside him, saw that Shen Lang chose to talk to Zhang Daoling, did not take action rashly, but watched the changes.
Zhang Daoling said calmly: "You can be Yuanshi Tianzun or Zhang Daoling. We are indeed different. Although we are not one mind and one body, we are also united in knowledge and action."
Listening to this misty sentence, Shen Lang frowned: "Since you have already appeared, why bother to beat around the bush? Am I asking whether you represent the will of Yuanshi Tianzun, or is it the will of the clone? Or is it that Yuanshi Tianzun, Zhang Daoling and the Taiyi Zhenren are the same person?"
Faced with Shen Lang's continuous questions, Zhang Daoling shook the whisk in his hand and said calmly: "To this day, it's okay for me to tell you. Have you ever heard of the method of 'killing three corpses'?"
"nature!"
Shen Lang's eyes raised his eyes. He had seen the saying in ancient books that "kill three corpses to prove the great way of heaven and earth."
The so-called three corpses are the three roots of good thoughts, evil thoughts and obsessions that they produce, and are also called the "roots of the three corpses".
Good thoughts, evil thoughts, and obsessions in the roots of the three corpses cannot be simply understood as three thoughts in literal meaning. For example, the roots of evil thoughts can also be the root of emotions such as anger and hatred, or the cause and effect of killing and destruction.
If you really want to analyze it deeper, just describing these three corpses is enough to write several classics.
To truly understand the roots of the three corpses, it takes years of insights from monks.
In short, the roots of the three corpses are often clearly perceived only when the cultivator reaches the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.
Legend has it that before the Age of the Conquering Gods, the True Immortal wanted to reach the level of the realm of the Taoist Ancestor Heavenly Lord, and needed to cut off the roots of his own three corpses, eliminate all the roots that would affect his own thoughts, and trace his true self to reach the state of unity between man and nature.
Perhaps some other method can eliminate the process of killing the three corpses, but such examples are too rare.
The Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal before the Age of the Gods could only be promoted to the Taoist Ancestor Tianzun by cutting off his own roots.
But killing the three corpses does not mean that the monks have no good or evil or obsession. They just eliminate the influence of the roots of the three corpses on themselves, thereby maintaining their absolute self and achieving a pure body.
As for whether one should do good or do evil, it is determined only by oneself, and it has no essential relationship with whether one is killed or not.
It's gone far.
Zhang Daoling continued: "In the past, when I was practicing in Zixiao Palace, I took a different approach from the method taught by the ancestor Hongjun, and cultivated the roots of his three corpses into shape, and achieved the position of the Heavenly Lord!"
"What! Cultivate the three corpses into shape?"
Shen Lang's eyes shrank slightly, revealing an incredible expression.
The Taoist ancestors and heavenly priests in history talk about killing the three corpses, and I have never heard of anyone who can cultivate the three corpses into shape.
Zhang Daoling frankly said: "Yes, the root of obsession is the deity, the root of good thoughts is the teacher, and the root of evil thoughts is Taiyi Qingwei. For a long time, the master and Qingwei have been integrated with the deity. Until the era of the Gods, we both left our original cradle and practiced on our own."
"At the time when the world is destroyed, the cultivation of the master and Taiyi Qingwei is just the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, and it is naturally impossible to compare with the original deity. However, as the original deity's "two corpses", they can become the deity's body at any time and turn into the true Yuanshi Tianzun."
"So, the master is both Yuanshi Tianzun and Yuanshi Tianzun. Whether it is true or not, it is determined by the original deity." Zhang Daoling said in a leisurely manner.
Shen Lang almost understood the meaning of Zhang Daoling's words.
The "Zhang Daoling" standing in front of him is not as simple as the clone of Yuanshi Tianzun, but one of the three corpses split by Yuanshi Tianzun. Although he retains his independent consciousness, Yuanshi Tianzun can appear in the world as his deity at any time.
It can be imagined that Zhang Daoling in front of you is the body that Yuanshi Tianzun can use at any time!
This kind of experience is quite strange.
Shen Lang sarcastically said, "Zhang Daoling, I thought you would be more unfathomable. It turned out to be just a chess piece that was firmly controlled by Yuanshi Tianzun."
Zhang Daoling said seriously: "It is not what my disciple imagines. Although the difference between being a teacher and being the deity is very big, it is essentially a community of shared destiny. You have me and I have you. I am the decision-maker behind the scenes, while being a teacher and Taiyi Qingwei are the activists."
Shen Lang said sharply: "I know why you and that Taiyi Zhenren are just Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. You two are simply Yuanshi Tianzun who used it to do dirty work!"
"You said that you two did not leave your deity until the Age of the Gods and practiced alone. The Age of the Gods happened to be the "Peng of the Gods" in the Age of the Gods. The Taoist Ancestor Tianzun was often restricted by this restriction. I believe that the Yuanshi Tianzun was the same, so you split out the two of you to do things for him to help them achieve the ambition of achieving the position of true god step by step!"
