In the spiritual world, there is also a divine way.
Moreover, unlike the independently run churches in Monger's world, the local Shinto does not have a unified church and power. It only has clear rights and responsibilities and temples. When people want to pray for a certain aspect, they will go there. Worship God.
If the gods in Monger's world are private owners, the Shinto in the spiritual world appears to be larger and more sophisticated, a bit like employees of state-owned enterprises.
Here, the gods in Shinto divide labor and cooperate, each performing their own duties. The god's throne is more like a post, and there is nothing of life and death mixed in it.
Some beings even despise the position of god, considering it to be a drag on Xiaoyao, and are not willing to take up the position at all.
"The reason for this situation is, firstly, the unique geographical and cultural environment of the spiritual world, and secondly, the pressure of the immortal world."
"Zhang Feng and Zhu Mei are cultivators after all. They don't know much about Shinto. They just know that its system is rigorous and there is even a 'heaven' central ruler. It is completely different from Immortal Tao."
Many thoughts flashed through Fang Yuan's mind, and he immediately looked at Cheng Fei: "Your Excellency, your difficulty is actually related to Shinto?"
Fang Yuan is also very interested in the Shinto in the spiritual world.
After all, his Pangu eagle body also has a lot of priestly rules imprinted on it. Although they are both independent gods in the Monger world, since they are all Shinto, they must have something in common.
"That's true!"
Hearing a hint of alienation from Fang Yuan's tone, Cheng Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly.
But knowing that the only way to win people's trust is to tell the truth at this time, I can only say frankly: "This matter stems from the agreement between our Hanhai Sect and the Shinto Xiguo Chenghuang, regarding the ownership of several divine positions... Taoist friends should know that although they are immortal, Immortals who have been watching for a long time look down on the divine position, but the road to becoming an immortal is full of thorns. It is impossible to say that the disaster will be solved that day, and I will have to turn to Shinto. Any sect attaches great importance to the divine position!"
Fang Yuan nodded.
Although earthly immortals and heavenly immortals are free and happy, they are extremely difficult to achieve.
Moreover, even Earth Immortals have lifespan limitations. On the other hand, Shinto has many shackles and no hope of progress, but it has an advantage in longevity.
The difference is completely self-aware, it just depends on personal choice.
However, among the great sects of cultivating immortals, there are many good and bad disciples, so it is necessary to prepare a batch of divine resources in case of emergencies.
"However, as long as resources are cherished, there must be competition. Although high-level immortals disdain the divine position, it is a way to live forever after all. There are not many requirements for qualifications. Even if there are some consequences, it is not a big deal for people whose future has been cut off. What?"
Fang Yuan sneered in his heart and immediately saw the problem.
Although Shinto and Immortal ways seem to complement each other, they are distinct. The most important thing is that they also hold power, and it is impossible to sacrifice just because they want to.
In particular, there is a unified heaven and a strict system, which is even more terrifying than the immortal way!
Even if the Immortal Way is stronger, it is divided into hundreds or even thousands of sects and cannot work together. How can it compete with the Shinto Way
"Sigh... This is because our Hanhai Sect is not very strong. Like the Four Seas Immortal Sect, it occupies dozens of island countries. Once the Immortal Talisman is summoned, it can also become a god!"
Immortal Dao enslaves Shinto in a small area to absorb resources. This has been happening since ancient times. Cheng Fei said it was normal, but Fang Yuan was a little frightened. He knew that the formation of such a pattern must have gone through many tragic battles, and even the saints did not know how to die. How much does it fall
"Of course, if you use the immortal talisman to confer, you can at most confer minor gods. The real mountain gods and river gods of famous mountains and rivers will definitely not be able to sit in their seats without the support of heaven. Besides, at that level, they are already at the level of immortals and powerful people, so what? Are you willing to succumb to the immortals and become slaves?"
While Fang Yuan was thinking, Cheng Fei thought that this casual cultivator didn't understand the inside story, so he couldn't help but explain in detail: "Our immortal way has a contract with the Shinto. Any sect with qualifications can get it from the local Shinto every ten years. Obtained several positions of gods... Most of these gods are earth and river gods, as well as day and night wandering gods, which are quite cherished. Unfortunately, the places are limited and must compete with several nearby immortal sects... "
Those who can steal food from the Hanhai Sect are naturally from the same sect, and they also have the support of the Seventy-Two Immortal Sects behind them, and the Four Seas Immortal Sect has no effect.
Fang Yuan frowned slightly when he heard this, knowing that this was probably a Shinto plan.
The Immortal Sect is so powerful that it cannot compete directly, so it makes limited compromises and releases a batch of inferior gods every year, attracting evil dogs to eat and fight against each other.
"Actually, the land of the River God is not bad, because there are no requirements at all. If a disciple in the Gangsha stage or even the Qi refining stage dies, as long as the soul is still there, he can take over and cultivate the golden body, even... even the mortal soul with merit , all requirements can be met!”
Fang Yuan nodded secretly.
Of course, among the immortal sects, this kind of god position is also relatively cherished. It is not the turn of the Qi Refining disciples at all, and even the Gangsha disciples are suspended. The most popular ones are the real Yuanshen and the human immortals who have fought against each other unexpectedly.
Even if the real Yuanshen can be reincarnated, if he reincarnates a few more times, the power of the Yuanshen will cause catastrophe, and both body and soul will be destroyed.
Therefore, those true souls who cannot be reincarnated and do not want to be reincarnated and dispersed to heaven and earth can only turn to Shinto.
Although the human immortal body is perfect and has a long life span, it will also suffer disaster. Once the army is defeated, it can only choose to reincarnate or practice the divine way.
Of course, the realm of immortals is so advanced that most of them choose to be reincarnated. Even if they convert to the divine way, they would not look down on these divine positions, and they would at least have to be forced to do so by the City God.
"Could it be that the difficulty for fellow Taoists is fighting for quotas?"
Fang Yuan glanced at Cheng Fei in surprise.
"Yes, in the competition for quotas, only the real Yuanshen of our sect can participate... According to the rules, it is my turn this time!"
Cheng Fei had a bit of bitterness on his face: "This is where the great righteousness lies. I can't shirk it. It was my duty to do so. I hate that there are thieves who harmed me. They figured out the flaws in my skills and poisoned me to start dispersing my skills. According to the rules of the sect, , unless another real soul soul is found to replace him, he will be deprived of his position."
When he said this, the muscles on his face suddenly twitched.
"Uh... don't you have a few close friends?"
Fang Yuan's expression also looked a little strange.
The way of cultivating immortals and the land of wealthy couples are extremely important.
And even a notorious evildoer often has a few like-minded friends who rely on each other to survive some disasters.
Once even such "comrades" turn their backs on you, you will have a real reputation and be ostracized by both immortals and demons. Unless you can prove the Tao with force and challenge the world alone, you will definitely not be able to survive.
"Am I that kind of person?"
Seeing Fang Yuan's strange look, Cheng Fei immediately shook his hands and hurriedly denied: "Although I, Cheng Fei, am not a famous person, I am by no means a helpless person. People like Master Caidie and Master Sanfeng... are all with me. Good friends! What a pity, since my enemy plotted against me, how could he be unprepared? All my friends in this sect are involved in other important matters, and several fellow Taoists who are casual cultivators are also serving as guest ministers elsewhere and cannot switch to our sect, but this This competition must be fought by the true soul of our sect..."
After Cheng Fei explained it in detail, Fang Yuan also figured it out.
This person has all the means and strength, but he was tricked and the power behind him was unable to be used.
In other words, we are in a "catastrophe", and the forces of various games are balanced. If you can jump out, the sea and the sky will be vast. If you can't jump out, not only will you die, but you will plummet and suffer a big blow, it is certain.
At this time, an outside force is urgently needed to break the situation!
This force doesn't need to be big, just a slight push can break the balance.
"Huh..."
How profound is Fang Yuan’s wisdom? He is more experienced and thinks things through in an instant: "It's no wonder that Cheng Fei made many concessions and promised a lot of benefits. It turned out that he was desperate."
"If you make a random calculation, you will definitely be able to get the maximum benefit."
"well… "
As soon as he thought of this, a look of embarrassment immediately appeared on his face: "Fellow Taoist, you are really... putting me in such a difficult position... I only want to practice hard and have no intention of getting involved in the conflict between forces. If I am not careful, I may be shattered to pieces!"
"This Fang Yuan is not an idiot who only wants to cultivate in secret. He immediately knew the danger involved."
Cheng Fei felt a chill in his heart, and then felt helpless.
There were no real Yuanshen from the sect around, and he had already visited them one by one.
If he didn't really have no choice, why would he keep staring at Fang Yuan
However, seeing that Fang Yuan didn't refuse, he couldn't help but feel more hopeful and said: "If fellow Taoist have other requests, feel free to put them forward!"
"On the method of struggle, I have some experience. I am not afraid of other real people, but I am a casual cultivator. If I enter the Hanhai Sect..."
Fang Yuan said hesitantly.
"With me as your guarantee, there will be no problem!"
When Cheng Fei heard that there was something going on, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly patted his chest.
"Actually, I, Xianyun Yehe, don't want to be bound by the sect's rules, but the guest minister's method is quite suitable..."
Fang Yuan smiled slightly.
"Your guest?!"
Cheng Fei was startled, then nodded: "It's okay, but if you don't really join the sect, some of your benefits will be reduced, and you won't be able to read Hanhai Xin Jue."
"So...don't you have to ask fellow Taoist to help you?"
Fang Yuan glanced at Cheng Fei with a half-smile.
"What? You want me to violate the sect's rules?"
Cheng Fei almost jumped up.
"Ke Qing is also a member of the sect, so he has not violated the bottom line..."
Fang Yuan took a sip of tea leisurely and asked Cheng Fei to help him get around the edges. In fact, he also knew that when such forces really do things, there is no bottom line.
"you… "
Cheng Fei was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick. After a long time, he sat down slumped: "Okay... I promise you!"
"It's great, but the reward must be paid in advance. Before I leave, I need to see the technique first!"
Fang Yuan added conditions.
"This is natural!"
Cheng Fei left in a hurry, obviously to make some preparations.
But Fang Yuan's eyes suddenly turned cold: "This person... must have something to hide, he really has bad intentions!"
