The ascetics never believe in immortals and Buddhas, because they themselves are walking on this road, no matter how many bumps and bumps there are in the middle of the road, and no matter whether they can really reach the final destination. At least they know very clearly that at the end of the road they are walking, there is the door to the immortal Buddha. Therefore, the immortal Buddha is only an existence that approximates the ultimate goal, and cannot become the belief of the ascetics.
The ascetics are not without faith. Their only faith is the Tao they perceive, which is the direction they move forward on this path. Tao is both a road and a goal. Generally speaking, it is a direction. Therefore, this kind of belief can be called the heart of Tao.
If the heart towards the Tao wavers, it means losing the guidance of the direction. The lighter person may be able to find the direction again, but the severe person may be lost on the way forever.
The invasion of artistic conception on artistic conception and the shaking of great avenue are not just the collision of two forces, but essentially the confrontation between faith and belief. To take it a step further, the method Li Luan used just now is actually a method of spiritual attack.
It's not that Ye Zan knows nothing about the power of Yuanshen, at least there is someone like this in Yuqing Sect.
In front of Ye Zan, Mo Ru will naturally not hide what kind of methods he has in the realm of Yuanshen. It can be said that Ye Zan already had a comprehensive understanding of the power of the soul from Mo Rushi, and he was almost ready to put Mo Rushi on the dissecting table.
However, understanding is just understanding, but it does not mean that you will be confident enough to deal with it when you actually face it.
Although, Ye Zan also had discussions with Mo Rushi when he was in Yuqing Sect. But sparring is different from real fighting. Mo Ru dares to use any method in sparring with Ye Zan. Just like now, the method Li Luan just used, this kind of spiritual attack that can shake the Taoist heart, is definitely not something that can be used in the scope of competition.
The consequences of shaking one's heart towards the Tao are irreversible. It does not mean that the other party will not be harmed if the person who performs it stops. No matter how timely it is to stop, once the Taoist heart has been shaken, then this influence will become an established fact. The results of a shaken Taoist heart are reflected in reality, ranging from stagnant cultivation to stagnant cultivation, to a severe decline in cultivation, and even death and Taoism is not impossible.
Moreover, the severity of the result is not entirely determined by the degree of Taoist heart wavering. In other words, even a slight shake of Taoist heart is not impossible to cause the worst results. It's like walking in the wild. One step deviates from the direction, and the next step may be to go in the direction of deviation. The result is that the distance from the correct direction and goal is getting farther and farther.
Therefore, when competing with Ye Zan, Mo Ru would never dare to use this method to shake Ye Zan's Taoist heart. A firm Taoist heart is like a solid gem. It is strongest when it is intact, but even if there is an extremely small crack in it, it may become the culprit of the final collapse of the gem.
It is precisely because of this that Ye Zan was indeed careless when facing Li Luan, and was not prepared for such attacks.
Looking from the outside, Ye Zan's artistic conception was invaded, the stars in the universe turned into huge piles of bones, and the void between the stars was gradually filled with a sea of bones. And in Ye Zan's sea of consciousness, he was also being invaded by external forces. The calm sea of consciousness was like boiling, being stirred up by endless huge waves, and was filled with the breath of destruction as if the end of the world was coming.
Fortunately, the green leaf lotus platform that Ye Zan obtained from thirty-six leaves in the Immortal Palace was finally no longer silent at this critical moment. Just as Ye Zan also expected, this green leaf lotus platform that has been silent in his sea of consciousness is a kind of existence that involves the unique spiritual thoughts of the Yuanshen realm. Now, when he faced the attack of Li Luan's spiritual thoughts, and when his Taoist heart was shaken by the opponent, the Green Leaf Lotus Platform played its role.
The green leaf lotus platform in the middle of the sea of consciousness only shook the leaves slightly, and the invisible power spread out, instantly calming the violent sea of consciousness. Immediately afterwards, the power of the Blue Leaf Lotus rushed out of Ye Zan's sea of consciousness, manifested and condensed outside, and still only shook the leaves slightly, and spread out with almost imperceptible power fluctuations. In Ye Zan's artistic conception, the sea of bones melted under the impact of fluctuations, and the huge white bone stars returned to their original shape after the impact.
Faced with all these changes, Li Luan finally couldn't keep calm. It could even be said that he was frightened. He couldn't help but screamed: "What on earth is that!"
However, Ye Zan, who was in a state of confusion, did not give Li Luan any response. The green leaf lotus platform did not make any further movements, but the leaves hanging there vibrated slightly, making a vague and non-existent whistling sound.
The power fluctuations that spread out from the Green Leaf Lotus Platform instantly eliminated all "apostate" existences in the artistic conception of the universe. However, the wave that swept through Li Luan's body was just like a gentle breeze, and did not cause any harm to Li Luan.
Li's chaotic body was like a small rock on the sea. The waves passed over his body and headed further away. The same is true for the fluctuations of the Green Leaf Lotus Platform, which transcended Li Luan's body and spread towards the end of the universe's artistic conception. As this wave of fluctuations spread, the artistic conception of the universe began to change, and at the end of the void, the light of stars began to shine.
Ye Zan's cosmic artistic conception, under the power of the Green Leaf Lotus Platform, continues to expand further, as if it is constantly accommodating more stars into this artistic conception. And this also means that Ye Zan's own sea of consciousness is also evolving towards a broader realm under the power of the Green Leaf Lotus Platform.
A slight vibration of water in a basin can cause the water to roll and then be splashed outside the basin. However, if this basin becomes a swimming pool, a lake, or even a vast ocean. So what kind of waves can the same vibration set off in the sea
It can be said that the expansion of the sea of consciousness is like the expansion of a basin holding water, which means the improvement of the ability to withstand vibrations.
A spiritual attack like Li Luan can overturn a basin of water, but if you are facing a sea, this attack is nothing!
Finally, the green-leaf lotus platform hanging above Ye Zan's head turned into a green rain of light, falling on Ye Zan's body one after another, and returned to Ye Zan's true body in the sea of consciousness. Ye Zan also came back to his senses at this time, and his eyes focused again on Li Luan who had a shocked face.
To be honest, thinking of the previous scene, Ye Zan couldn't help but feel scared at this moment.
Even though Ye Zan was in a godless state just now, he actually knew exactly what was going on. When Li Luan used such methods to drastically change the artistic conception of the universe, when he vaguely heard the voices questioning his own Dao, when he felt that his Dao heart was wavering, Ye Zan knew that he was I was really arrogant for once.
Ye Zan believes that even if he encounters the worst situation, he can at least make a comeback with Chen Zhizun's three swords. But the reality made him know that even if he had such a trump card in his hand, he still had to have a chance to play it out. But just now, facing Li Luan's methods, Ye Zan lost control of his artistic conception, and his sea of consciousness was in chaos, and he had no energy left to use the sword light.
If Biye Lotus hadn't suddenly shown off its power, I'm afraid Ye Zan's final result would have been to fall into the abyss unwillingly with this constant trump card. It's like playing a game. Many people like to save three mines and never release them. They always think that now is not a good time to release mines. As a result, if they save them, the game will be over.
Of course, Ye Zan didn't want to save the lie, nor was he really reluctant to let it go, but with Li Luan's method, he had no chance to let it go.
This is the difference between Yuanying and Yuanshen. No matter what kind of trump card you have, if you don't have the chance to use it, what's the difference between it and having no trump card
Fortunately, Ye Zan still has the Biye Lotus Platform, which can be regarded as a trump card in a certain sense, and it is a trump card that can work automatically.
After that, washed away by the power of the Green Leaf Lotus Platform, all the spiritual thoughts that invaded Ye Zan's sea of consciousness and all the forces that invaded the artistic conception of the universe were expelled without leaving any trace. In fact, this is why Ye Zan cannot control the power of the Biye Lotus, otherwise he can even leave Li Luan's spiritual thoughts in the sea of consciousness and grind them into powder, giving Li Luan a hard blow.
You must know that although spiritual thoughts are easy to use, because they are closely connected to the essence of the soul, if divine thoughts are severely hit, they will also cause certain backlash damage. Therefore, if there is not enough confidence in the battle between the powerful souls, few people will come forward and use their spiritual thoughts to collide. Or, at the last moment, when all means have been exhausted and it is impossible to determine the outcome, the battle of spiritual thoughts will become the final means to determine the outcome.
Just like in movies and TV shows, those martial arts masters rarely compete in internal strength. Only in the end when no one can do anything about the other and a winner must be determined, they will simply compete in internal strength.
However, Ye Zan is just a Nascent Soul boy, so Li Luan will naturally not have any scruples. In fact, the powerful Yuanshen often uses a similar method to the Yuanying ancestor, directly using the opponent's irresistible divine thoughts to subdue the opponent or even destroy everything in the opponent.
"What on earth is that!" Li Luan asked again unwillingly, probably because he saw Ye Zan coming back to his senses.
"Don't you know? That big tree in the Immortal Palace." A smile appeared on Ye Zan's face, somewhat filled with the joy of surviving a disaster. Of course, what's more, is the change that occurred after he discovered that his sea of consciousness and his cosmic conception were washed away by the power of the Green Leaf Lotus Platform.
A broader sea of consciousness, a broader universe and starry sky, a stronger Taoist heart, and the understanding and control of the Tao. These things are not what people in the Nascent Soul realm should get, but Ye Zan got them all in advance at this stage. And more importantly, he knew that with the Green Leaf Lotus Platform, he no longer had to fear the attacks of the powerful soul. Although this does not mean that he can counterattack the mighty Yuanshen, but at least it is an extra layer of insurance when facing the mighty Yuanshen.
"That tree... the ancient tree of Taichu!" Li Luan exclaimed.
Li Luan was originally a disciple of Xuanqing Taoist Ancestor, so he naturally knew a lot about the Immortal Palace. Although he is no longer the Liran he was back then, the memory has not dissipated. Therefore, when he heard Ye Zan mention the big tree in the Immortal Palace, he immediately thought of that huge magical tree, which was like the legendary ancient tree in the beginning.
"The Ancient Tree of Taichu? Is that tree really the legendary Ancient Tree of Taichu?" Ye Zan couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Li Luan's words.
In fact, Ye Zan has always wanted to know what kind of tree that giant tree is, why he can achieve enlightenment under the tree, why he can get the leaves given to him, and why the leaves have such power.
However, even the tower elder of Babel Tower couldn't explain the origin of that giant tree. Although, judging from various characteristics, the giant tree seems to be somewhat similar to the legendary ancient tree of Taichu. But it would be too unbelievable to say that it was the ancient tree of Taichu. After all, the legend of the ancient tree from the beginning has already transformed into heaven and earth, so how could it appear in the small Arctic Fairy Palace
However, Ye Zan answered Li Luan's question, but failed to get Li Luan's answer.
Li Luan didn't seem to hear Ye Zan's question. The expression on his face looked extremely ferocious, and he shouted hysterically: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. Only I am the successor of the Immortal Palace. Only I can get it." These!"
Ye Zan once learned some things about Li Luan from Ta Lao. He knew that when Li Luan followed the Xuanqing Taoist ancestor, he also realized Taoism under that giant tree and received three leaves from the giant tree. Three leaves, that's quite impressive. Considering the talents of the Lin family siblings, each of them only got one leaf. However, compared with Ye Zan, these three leaves are not impressive. After all, Ye Zan got thirty-six leaves and formed a green leaf lotus platform.
Of course, the current Liran is no longer the Liran of the past. When the true spirit of Liluan dissipated back then, the three leaves also dissipated, so there is actually not a single leaf in Liluan now. Based on his memory, Li Luan planned to use his identity during his lifetime to become the successor of the Immortal Palace. A very important goal was the leaves of the giant tree. After all, in his memory, he clearly knew how helpful the leaves of that giant tree would be to his practice.
Unfortunately, Ye Zan appeared in the middle, causing Li Luan's plan to completely fail.
Originally, Li Luan thought that Mr. Ta chose Ye Zan just because of his current status as a demon. In fact, he should be more qualified than Ye Zan. You know, if Ye Zan hadn't jumped out at that time, no matter how reluctant Ta Lao was, he would have been ready to choose him as the successor to the Immortal Palace.
Therefore, Li Luan never thought that Ye Zan would get too much from the Arctic Immortal Palace. At most, the other party would keep the Immortal Palace for him for a while. But he never expected that Ye Zan had already gotten so many of the things he hoped for most. Thirty-six leaves had already formed a lotus platform!
