Chapter 2170: On Tao (Part 1)
No wonder Tang Shaozhe was surprised. Saint Chen Yao repeatedly emphasized that the so-called cultivator can only officially enter the world of cultivation if he succeeds in building the foundation. The so-called Qi-induced period before laying the foundation was just laying the foundation before advancement.
In fact, it seems like the difference between interns and formal employees. The former only has a little basic salary during the internship period, while the latter has both salary and benefits, and other insurance benefits are bound to be indispensable.
Even if both are doing the same job, it doesn't mean they can be completely equal.
No matter how amazing the cultivation talent in the Qi-Starting Stage is, it is meaningless compared to the Foundation Establishment Stage. With just a little action, you can simply kill an ant. Therefore, Saint Chen Yao has always reminded him that you were nothing before the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, the 9th level of Qi Gui period is already a powerful figure like a god. After all, at that time, the life span alone alone increased by 300 years. Not to mention that many other Taoist techniques can basically be practiced and used.
No matter how you look at it, I have to admit that this is definitely the goal that many people pursue throughout their lives - longevity and martial arts!
But in the eyes of real cultivators, what is the Qi-induced period? Strictly speaking, it cannot be considered a cultivator at all!
Just when Tang Shaozhe was about to do a big fight, he suddenly heard from the main god that his opponent was actually an enemy at the foundation-building stage. It was like a bucket of cold water pouring down from his head, and his heart suddenly felt cold!
"Master God, are you sure you read it right? Are the enemies hidden inside equivalent to those in the Foundation Establishment Period?"
After hearing the question, the main god did not think that Tang Shaozhe was very cautious. Instead, he thought that this was definitely a sequelae of cerebral thrombosis: "I need to remind the host, don't doubt my sensory ability. I can guarantee that it is absolutely correct!"
"This is not a doubt about you, okay? I just can't believe this fact, why did I suddenly get into the Foundation Establishment Stage? The enemy is still a believer of Moira, why is it completely different from what I have seen before?"
Looking back, Tang Shaozhe is not a believer of Moira. He has fought with Joan of Arc and stole the magical thoughts attached to her. He also captured the magical thoughts controlled by Tiffany Hill, the chairman behind the absolute field.
After these two times, Tang Shaozhe knew that neither Joan of Arc nor Fatine Hill, the strength of both of them had not reached the foundation-building stage. Could it be that the divine thoughts of the Goddess of Destiny were so worthless?
Tang Shaozhe immediately asked this question to the main god, and no matter what, he had to give him a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, how can he evaluate the level of the enemy based on experience in the future? Isn’t that a mess?
It’s impossible for the main god to say that the level of the enemy is, is it the level? What is the basis? Is there any replication? If not, there is no need to worry, it’s just a special situation at one time. If it can be copied, it means that you may encounter such a master in that plane next! If you don’t prepare in advance, then wait and suffer a loss!
"Don't worry, host, I actually wanted to talk to you about this question a long time ago. Don't underestimate the Goddess of Destiny because you have captured Moira's divine consciousness. In fact, the biggest threat to divine consciousness lies in its growthability!"
"Growthable?" Tang Shaozhe heard a brand new term from the mouth of the Lord God, a little fresh: "What is that?"
"The so-called growthability means that the strength of the host possessed by the divine mind is not fixed and unchanging. On the contrary, it can grow, gradually changing the level of strength over time and other special conditions!"
"No way? Can relationships be upgraded? It's not about playing online games, so why does it have the concept of growing up?"
It’s no wonder that Tang Shaozhe felt it was strange. In his impression, it seemed that the gods attached their clones or divine thoughts, and the persons who received it should immediately become very powerful! How can they develop to a greater extent according to the main god’s meaning?
People possessed by gods and divine thoughts can continue to make progress, and no matter how they look, they look like a huge bug.
Anyway, within the scope that Tang Shaozhe knew, he had never heard of such a terrifying thing.
But the Lord God immediately dispelled all Tang Shaozhe's doubts in one sentence: "In fact, strictly speaking, I am also part of my master's divine thoughts, and the host is the best example. With my help, the host has been growing. The strength of the host has never been static."
"...Okay, if you think about it carefully, it seems that that's the case!" Tang Shaozhe immediately understood.
But he immediately raised a new question: "Since that's the case, why was Joan of Arc not that powerful at the time? And Fatiny Hill, at most, they were in the Qi-induced stage! Why is the Foundation Establishment stage in front of you?"
"Please don't forget that whether it is Joan of Arc or Fatine Hill, the time they have obtained divine thoughts is not too long, and the time they have grown is limited. In addition, the number of their believers is not too large, and the growth they can provide is really limited..."
This time, before the main god finished explaining, Tang Shaozhe had already understood it completely: "I understand. In other words, the attachment of divine thoughts to the target does not mean the final strength of the target. It also depends on the length of attachment time and the number of believers. In fact, it is necessary to gradually become stronger by collecting standard energy, right?"
"You can teach me!" After the main god praised, he quickly said: "Actually, in particular, the links are more complicated, but in general it is this pattern, and the host has basically understood everything."
"...It's one thing to understand, but it's another thing to be able to deal with it!" Tang Shaozhe looked at the church building complex with some worries, frowned and said, "That's a strong man in the Foundation Establishment Stage? How dare I go over?"
"Who told you that he was a strong man in the Foundation Establishment Stage?" The main god suddenly said another sentence, almost making Tang Shaozhe go crazy.
"Didn't you say that you sensed the level of your opponent that is equivalent to the foundation-building stage? Why did you regret it immediately?"
"Please don't forget that what I'm talking about is equivalent to the foundation-building stage, and it does not mean that they are at the foundation-building stage!"
"Is there anything different about this?" Tang Shaozhe suddenly became a little puzzled: "Feeding monkeys 3 in the morning and 4 in the evening is essentially the same as feeding 4 in the morning and 3 in the evening."
The examples given by Tang Shaozhe are the origin of the idioms, but the main god does not agree with this view: "No, this is definitely different, and the examples given by the host are not appropriate."
"Why are you saying it is inappropriate? It is equivalent to the strength of the foundation-building stage, but isn't it equivalent to the level of the foundation-building stage? If the two cannot be equalized, it can only prove that the standard positioning you proposed is wrong!"
"I hope the host can understand two things. The first is the strength equivalent to the foundation building stage, which does mean that the goal can be no different from the opponents in the foundation building stage; the second is the strength equivalent to the foundation building stage, which does not mean that the goal has reached the foundation building stage!"
"Huh?" After hearing the Lord God emphasize the difference again, Tang Shaozhe slowly recalled the taste: "Wait, Lord God, what you mean is that the target in the church is at most the strength of the Foundation Establishment stage, but in fact it is not completely equivalent to the success of the Foundation Establishment among cultivators? Oh, I think I understand!"
It is really a bit too perplexing to the two concepts of the main god, but after the main god's emphasis was re-enforced, Tang Shaozhe finally realized the difference. Of course, his faith gradually recovered.
According to Saint Chen Yao, cultivators will definitely not be able to overcome the Foundation Establishment Stage during the Qi-Induction Stage, and they don’t even have the ability to resist. It is as simple as killing an ant in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
This is because there are not only huge differences in strength, but also absolute suppression in realm!
However, facing enemies that are equivalent to those of the Qi-Speed Period, the Qi-Speed Period is just a difference in the level of ability, and lacks absolute suppression in the realm. Although it is only a little different, this detail is the key to determining the outcome.
"In that case, I still have the chance to fight the enemy, and it is hard to even see the winner at a glance. Right? Just like when I met the Dead King in the Endless Plane, we were just an imbalance in strength! If I used the skills in my hands reasonably, it would be impossible to fight the opponent! I even had a chance to win!"
"I'm very happy that the host understands it, and that's the truth! Even if the enemy target has a magical bonus in his hand, the extra power does not really belong to him. The host still has the opportunity to find the flaws and launch a counterattack!"
"Okay, I'll be much more relaxed when I say so." Tang Shaozhe immediately reversed his depressed mood and soon thought of another question: "So, the master of the temple in the church should have used the standard energy accumulated by faith to be far better than Joan of Arc and Fatiny Hill, right?"
"Yes, I have said long ago that no matter what, only standard energy is the only constant energy in the universe."
"I should have thought of it long ago that the temple has been established in the Gray Mist Sea for hundreds of years, and has been supported by the church and has been fully developed for more than 30 years. At least on the surface, the number of believers is not much lower than that of the church. Such a huge faith class must have long since not known how much standard energy it can provide. Even if the high-level clergy in these temples only share the gains of Moira, they must be much better than Joan of Arc and Fatiny Hill."
"Yes, in fact, this is the reason that is causing trouble. If the power of faith is lost, their strength will be severely turbulent. The host must remember that for the host, the foundation of faith will always be the most important part!"
Although Tang Shaozhe agreed with the previous words, Tang Shaozhe did not take the final warning of the Lord God seriously.
He even kept making fun of the Lord God in his heart, which shows why the Lord God didn't want him to continue to practice.
Although the collection of faith energy can improve his strength in a short period of time and looks extremely powerful, it is all empty. As long as the existence of the foundation of faith is lost, the corresponding strength will be severely weakened.
But on the contrary, the strength accumulated by Tang Shaozhe's cultivation is all his own strength. No matter what interference the outside world is, it will not have any impact on his strength.
The former can be achieved quickly, but ultimately it uses the public energy of faith; although the latter practices hard and progresses slowly, it has laid a solid foundation for his growth, and even alone is still as powerful.
It seems that our ancestors are right. But only the skills you learn are the best!
The main god did not expect that not only did these words not inspire Tang Shaozhe to follow the path he designed, but instead strengthened Tang Shaozhe's determination to continue to practice.
Looking back on the way, the main god had interfered with his cultivation in various ways. Even after seeing him entering the path of cultivation in martial arts, he specifically told Tang Shaozhe that using martial arts to enter the path is the least promising of various cultivation methods.
Later, I found out that this statement did not dispel Tang Shaozhe's cultivation plan, and began to continuously destroy Tang Shaozhe's cultivation progress again and again. Several times, they almost fell down.
The difficulties and dangers that can reach the level of success in the Qi-induced period are really hard to describe.
Of course, under the current circumstances, we should continue to follow the Lord’s will, and at least we should show that we should continue to listen to the Lord’s myth. Anyway, he is still far from achieving success in his cultivation. If he does not rely on the Lord’s power, it is equivalent to seeking death.
"By the way, the main god, so, although Fatiny Hill in the Apocalypse plane is also the chairman of the Absolute Field, the Absolute Field had blatantly controlled the North American continent and various penetrations of the vast world. I believe the standard energy she gained is indispensable? I am afraid that the strength she grew up is not as good as the Fatiny Hill on the earth can keep up with, right?" Tang Shaozhe just thought of it, and suddenly felt a chilling feeling.
With the influence of the absolute realm in the apocalyptic plane, you may be able to gain the energy of faith. I am afraid that Fatiny Hill and the one around him are completely different concepts.
"Yes, according to common sense, the host's estimate should be correct. Perhaps Fatiny Hill in the end-of-day plane is equivalent to the strength of the foundation-building stage! In fact, giving Joan of Arc enough time, her strength is also expected."
Tang Shaozhe secretly curled his lips. Fortunately, he didn't give her enough opportunities to grow, otherwise it would be really troublesome later!
