Nan Feng looked straight at Luo Kai. Suddenly, his voice changed as he said, "It has only been a few thousand years since the new generation of humans produced written language and other information about civilization. Compared to the lifespan of the stars, which can easily last for billions of years, it is like the sands of the Ganges River. Compared to the universe, it is not even worth mentioning. The key is that the inherited Primordial Witch Spirit has almost been cut off, and the demonic bloodline is extremely weak.
Luo Kai's heart skipped a beat. "What do you mean?"
Nan Feng's eyes blossomed with extraordinary splendor. He smiled and said, "It means that you have achieved the soul of a witch, which is what the people in the Nine Extremes Training Hall call a pure bloodline."
As the two of them were talking, Luo Kai's heart suddenly throbbed intensely. He pushed open the door and walked out, raising his head to look at the starry sky.
There was a mass of dense golden light approaching the Taixuan Training Hall. It was currently daytime, but the dazzling light of the stars could not cover it in the slightest. It seemed to be far away, but in reality, its speed was close to the speed of light. It could arrive in the next moment.
Nan Feng also walked out. When he saw the divine light, he was puzzled at first. Then, he thought of something and said in surprise, "Buddha's light. A Buddhist expert is coming."
"Buddha?"
Luo Kai was also greatly surprised. The Nine Extremes Training Hall focused on the way of mathematics, which was actually a kind of Taoist philosophy. In other words, it mainly respected a materialistic way. The essence of Buddhism was obviously a kind of idealistic philosophy. There was only one truth. Since ancient times, the greatest conflict between intelligent species was the battle of ideologies, or rather the battle of the great Dao. Would the two come into conflict?
Nan Feng sensed his thoughts and said somewhat excitedly, "The religions of the Middle Yuan Era were not as narrow as the ones we live in now. It is said that the top existences of the various sects would often discuss Buddhism and Taoism together. If we are fated to hear the voice of the gods, then this trip will not be in vain!"
As he spoke, the mass of dense golden light had already approached. Golden light was originally more dazzling, but this mass of golden light gave off a gentle feeling. It was very warm and very comfortable. One could vaguely see that there was a huge person inside.
On Earth, humans' impression of the big world might be of towering mountains and majestic buildings. It was difficult for their vision to break through the inherent limits and cognition. But on this continent in the starry sky, they needed to use the stars as a reference. The mass of Buddha's light was almost as large as the nearby planets, and hundreds of thousands of kilometers in length and width.
According to the common sense of physics, such a huge existence must have an astonishing mass and an unparalleled strong gravitational field. No matter which planetary system it entered, it would cause the inherent magnetic field to be disturbed. The narrow planetary system of the three-dimensional universe could not accommodate it at all. However, this mass of Buddha's light seemed to be just a mass of light and did not cause any gravitational waves. Perhaps this was the true body of the Buddha, or the true appearance of the gods.
As the golden light approached, countless people who were riding on flying swords floated up. Everyone in the Taixuan Dojo was as if they were facing a great enemy. All kinds of strange weapons that Luo Kai had never seen or imagined appeared. There were huge cannons with a diameter of hundreds of meters, as well as mechanical giants that were comparable to huge mountains. Even the golden war puppets of the Astral Elf race could not compare to them.
"This does not seem like a discussion of Buddhism and Taoism."
Luo Kai also felt a trembling breath from the depths of his soul. At this point, he finally felt the oppression from a higher level creature again.
He could not help but be alert. He vaguely saw the person in the golden light. It was not what he saw in reality, but the information that he felt in the past. In the golden light was a big-eared old monk. He wore a pale golden robe and had a bun on his head. He looked exactly the same as the strange man named Lu Ting in the ruins. To be precise, Lu Ting had stolen the body left behind by this monk.
The old monk sat cross-legged in the void. The incomparable golden light was emitted from the back of his head, majestic and sacred.
It was also at this moment that Luo Kai vaguely felt a conversation from a higher dimension, "Strange, strange, how can these beings have the wisdom of the Buddha? Foolishly confused, do you not know?
I will teach them the Holy Way, so that they will forever be free from delusion and obsession. From their bodies, they will see the wisdom of the Buddha, no different from Buddha. "
These words were saying that everyone had the nature of Buddha and was self-sufficient. Of course, this included knowledge. Plato also had a famous proverb, "Knowledge is recollection." It meant that knowledge was innate to everyone and existed in the soul. Learning was to recall this existing knowledge.
In fact, the discussion of Buddhism and Taoism had already begun. There was also an existence on the Taixuan Dojo's side who replied, "Without leaving the house, one knows the world. Without peeking, one sees the Heavenly Way.
One comes from far away, but one knows little.
Therefore, the saints know what they do not know, understand what they do not see, and achieve what they do not do. "
It meant that one could infer the truth of the world without leaving the house. One could recognize the natural law of the movement of the sun, moon, and stars without looking outside the window. When it came to knowledge, one could not rely on one's feelings and experience, because doing so would not allow one to go deep into the inner workings of things. One could not understand the whole of things, and it would also disturb one's mind.
Therefore, to understand things, one could only rely on internal self-reflection and self-cultivation. Only then could one comprehend the Heavenly Way and know the law of change and development of all things in the world.
These words were actually in agreement with the words of the old monk in the golden light. In other words, people were born with spiritual wisdom. They just needed to be taken care of from the inside. With the wisdom of one's self, one could see through all things with a calm mind.
As expected, the old monk in the golden light was very satisfied. The golden light retracted, and the aura that made people tremble dissipated. It became gentle again.
"Mr. Taixuan, you understand the true meaning of the Buddha."
"Master Zhi Er, please listen to me. However, human nature is dull. Those who are born with knowledge are superior. Those who learn to know are inferior. Those who learn to know are inferior. Those who learn to know are inferior. Those who learn to know are inferior. Those who learn to know are inferior."
The meaning of these words was that "those who are born with knowledge" were superior, followed by "those who learn to know." In other words, some people belonged to those who were born with knowledge and were natural saints, but more people needed to learn.
The battle between the two of them was actually a battle between "heart" and "matter." In other words, it was a battle between discovering oneself and exploring the outside world. The old monk believed that everyone was born with wisdom. The physical body was changeable, but the soul was eternal. The physical body recorded genetic information, and the soul hid "omniscience and omnipotence." We were born with knowledge of everything, and the process of growing up was actually the process of revealing the memories of the soul.
The existences on the Taixuan Dojo's side agreed with his point of view. In the understanding of these higher-dimensional existences, "innate wisdom" was probably common sense.
In order to understand this "innate wisdom", one had to take a broader perspective. Geniuses like Newton, Einstein, Mozart, Leonardo da Vinci, and Van Gogh, or anyone who was engaged in creative work, might have an easier time understanding it. This was because their work required inspiration, and the so-called inspiration was actually information from the higher-dimensional existences. Almost all creations originated from a flash of inspiration.
The two higher-dimensional existences continued their discussion. Only a few people could hear their conversation. Next to another stone house, a girl with a star-shaped birthmark on her cheek was also staring at the sky attentively. Her eyes were shining.
