Chapter 171: Leader’s Spiritual Treasure Followers

The reason why he was so unsure was that the Innate Five Directions Flag was not an ordinary thing. It was at the same level as the Three Books of Heaven, Earth and Man, the Twelve-Level Lotus Platform and other things. It was also extraordinary among the top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

Guangchengzi called such treasures “leader-level innate spiritual treasures”, implying that even the leaders of various factions could use them. Although they were not as good as the innate treasures, they were not much worse.

The only treasure on him, the Yin-Yang Diagram, is a leader-level innate spiritual treasure. The Hongmeng Measuring Ruler is a step further and can compete with the innate treasures, but after a long time, it will fall into a disadvantage.

It should be noted that the four innate treasures of today each have extraordinary origins. Needless to say, the three treasures of creation of the world. The reason why the prehistoric world could be opened up was thanks to these three supreme treasures.

The Zhu Xian Sword Formation was only achieved after sacrificing the entire West. Even if the acquired merit treasure could compete with it, it would not be able to fight for too long and could only maintain its undefeated position at best.

However, when he collects enough Eastern flags, he will have one more leader-level innate spiritual treasure.

It is precisely because the leader-level innate spiritual treasure is so rare, but the great master Xuandu was given one so easily, which also made Guangchengzi sigh at the abundance of treasures.

Upon hearing that this flag was actually the Southern Flame Flag among the Five Innate Flags, the immortals in Yuxu Palace were amazed. After all, they had been taught by Guangchengzi for many years and naturally knew the names of various spirits in the prehistoric world.

“They all say Jiejiao has many treasures, they are referring to the great master brother, who has many treasures, and they also say that Jiejiao has many spiritual treasures.”

Guang Chengzi smiled and said, “But in my opinion, the treasures in the Bajing Palace may be more than those in the entire Jiejiao. Senior Brother Xuandu, please take care of me in the future. Don’t let me ask you to borrow some treasures and you refuse to lend them. That would hurt the relationship between us.”

Being teased by Guangchengzi, Master Xuandu didn’t even dare to say anything, obviously he hadn’t adapted to his own identity yet.

While they were talking and laughing, the immortals also flew quickly to the East China Sea, each of them used the magical power of sending golden light flying across the ground. Often, just when they saw a dozen golden lights in the distance, in the blink of an eye, these golden lights had already passed over thousands of mountains and rivers and flew towards an even farther place.

The closer they flew to the Fairyland, the more frequent the killings became. The bodies of dead liches were almost everywhere, all of them were in tatters, with many bite marks and tooth marks on them, indicating that they had obviously eaten the other party as food.

Even if the leaders of the two tribes united, the liches under them did not regard each other as companions. On the way to the expedition, they did not kill the immortals in the fairy court, but instead fought each other first.

As for the immortals in Yuxu Palace, it was fine. Whether it was Randang or Guangchengzi, they were all veterans who had traveled through the ancient times and naturally did not take such killing seriously. The remaining eleven immortals also had their own origins and they also turned a blind eye.

However, these immortals can ignore the killing, but Master Xuandu cannot.

Looking at the nearly endless corpses below, his face grew paler and paler, and he was clearly unable to accept it.

It was not until he saw a human tribe being slaughtered alive, with all kinds of corpses scattered everywhere and even marks of fire that he began to tremble uncontrollably.

Seeing Master Xuandu like this, Guangchengzi blew a breath of immortal air, which immediately turned into a layer of hazy mist that enveloped his eyes, allowing him to recover barely.

Guang Chengzi said calmly: “Brother Xuandu, since you have become an immortal, you should forget the past. The killing between heaven and earth is upright. If you can’t even pass this level, then you are not suitable to travel in the prehistoric world.”

After hearing this, Master Xuandu asked, “Why can’t we be more harmonious and live in peace with each other?”

After hearing this, Guangchengzi said nothing, but just moved slightly forward, and a scene suddenly appeared in front of the immortals.

I saw several humans wearing animal skins hiding in a lush grass, and in front of the grass, there was a wild boar with a few piglets foraging for food. From time to time, the wild boar looked around and was obviously very alert.

Until the wild boar lowered its head to eat again, one of the humans who was obviously the leader made a gesture, and the other humans nodded slightly, and then slowly walked in the grass.

Finally, the leader of the human race immediately jumped out of the bushes, let out a loud roar, and pierced a piglet into the ground with the grasshopper in his hand.

The piglet was suddenly pierced through and let out a shrill scream. The other piglets were startled by the scream and immediately fled in all directions. Finally, they were captured by the humans who had been hiding for a long time.

The sow naturally couldn’t help herself when her own child was captured, and immediately rushed towards the human leader who killed her child.

Facing the sow’s charge, a hint of cunning flashed across the leader’s face, and he immediately turned over and climbed up the big tree behind him.

However, the sow used too much force and was unable to break through in time, so she crashed headfirst into the tree that was as big as a man’s embrace. The tree shook slightly, but apart from a large number of leaves falling off, the sow was fine. However, the sow was hit to death, with her skin torn and her brains spilling out.

Seeing that they had won a great victory and there were no casualties, the humans immediately cheered and shouted in joy.

Then they immediately began to divide the meat on the spot. You cut his legs, I wanted his head. They laughed with each other, and looks of satisfaction were on their faces.

After bringing the food back to the tribe, their wives and children gathered around. Seeing so much pork, they were all delighted. In the evening, they built a bonfire and sang and danced beside it. They were very happy.

Seeing this, the great master Xuandu, who was born in the human race, also smiled slightly, but Guangchengzi said: “Brother Xuandu, what are you laughing at?”

Master Xuandu was stunned and said, “They were successful in hunting and won a great victory. Naturally, I am smiling happily for them.” After hearing this, Guangchengzi said nothing and pointed to the scene in front of him. It was still hunting, still a great victory, and still everyone was singing and dancing.

The only difference is that the target of hunting has changed from wild boars to humans, and the hunters have become a race with pig heads and human bodies.

Looking at those humans being dismembered, or even being directly impaled on the fire and roasted, while those strange creatures with pig heads and human bodies were laughing and rejoicing beside them, Master Xuandu frowned and was obviously very displeased.

Guang Chengzi clapped his hands slightly, and the scene in front of him disappeared completely. He said: “Brother Xuandu, you feel happy when the human race succeeds in hunting wild boars, but you feel angry when these pig people succeed in hunting humans. This is why there is no harmony.

There is nothing wrong with hunting by humans, and there is nothing wrong with hunting by pigmen either. Everyone is hunting to fill their stomachs and to survive better.

Without these wild boars, the humans would starve to death, but without these humans, the pigmen would also starve to death.

The same is true among us immortals. In order to practice and grow, we have to kill others. This is an unavoidable problem, and it is also a matter of course.

If Heaven does not want to kill, then there is no need to evolve spiritual energy for all living beings to practice. If Heaven does not want to fight, then it only needs to distribute the spiritual energy evenly throughout the wilderness. Why would it need to condense it into a blessed land?
What we can do is to kill them before others do. I would rather let the world down than let the world let me down!”

Master Xuandu thought this theory was very strange at first, but the more he listened, the more correct it seemed to him.

Yes, killing is natural and there is no need to be happy or sad about it. He asked himself, is he willing to contribute himself to the lives of others?

He doesn’t want to.

He didn’t want to die, so when Laozi was explaining the Great Way of the Golden Elixir, he was the first to listen. But he also had a conscience, so he asked Laozi if he could bring other tribesmen to listen together.

But his conscience is not strong enough to sacrifice himself to let others live, so when it endangers himself, he has to kill and send others to death.

With enlightenment in his heart, Master Xuandu suddenly exuded a sense of tranquility, and a feeling of great enlightenment lingered on his face, making everyone who saw him feel that they had many insights in their hearts.

Upon seeing this scene, Guangchengzi immediately stopped the golden light and set up a large formation outside to prevent outsiders from interfering with Master Xuandu’s enlightenment.

Since Guangchengzi stopped, it was naturally impossible for the others to continue flying, so they also stayed beside him to guard.

Others thought that it was just a coincidence, and Master Xuandu happened to be touched by these words, so he had such an insight.

However, Randeng saw some clues and said in a daze, “This is the great way of the Great Saint Taiqing. I didn’t expect that the Great Master Xuandu is actually a follower.”

Guang Chengzi nodded and said, “Master Xuandu’s foundation is too weak to achieve the Great Dao, unless he is willing to dissolve into the body and reincarnate to rebuild his foundation. But Master Xuandu is unwilling to do so, so he became a follower. It was also because of Master Uncle’s instructions that I did so.”

Chi Jingzi was confused about what followers were, and asked, “Big Brother, Deputy Leader, what are these followers?”

Guang Chengzi replied: “The so-called followers are the messengers who follow your great way, taking your great way as the basis and your will as the thought. This is a follower.

After becoming a follower, you no longer need to comprehend the Great Dao, you only need to understand the Great Dao you follow. How much of the Great Dao you can understand depends entirely on how much of the Great Dao your Dao Master is willing to open up to you. “

Upon hearing this, the Eleventh Immortal took a deep breath.

Perceiving the Tao is different from understanding the Tao. Perceiving the Tao is equivalent to creating it from nothing, while understanding the Tao is to directly look at the original Tao and understand its meanings.

Compared with the two, it is naturally easier to understand. It cannot even be said to be difficult to understand. It just takes some time.

With so many advantages, there are naturally huge disadvantages as well. That is, followers will never be able to surpass the Taoist master in cultivation, and the Taoist master can know the lives of followers at any time, which is equivalent to a puppet.

Moreover, whether you can make progress in your cultivation depends on whether the Taoist master is willing to open up the avenue for you. If he is not willing to do so, then your cultivation will always stop there.

The Dao Master can even deprive you of your understanding of the Dao, causing your cultivation to drop directly, which is equivalent to putting everything in the hands of the Dao Master.

So after understanding all this, the Eleventh Immortal was not very interested in it anymore.

A moment later, Master Xuandu opened his eyes, and the aura fluctuations on his body suddenly jumped from celestial immortal to golden immortal, with a speed so fast that it was simply indescribable.

Upon seeing this, Guangchengzi nodded slightly, and then led the immortals towards the East China Sea again.

　Followers are a very important setting. Let me give you a small spoiler again. Followers, Meritorious Monks, and Luo Tianqing Qi complement each other. I have not forgotten these settings.
