Chapter 8: Shintoism
e disciples of the Taoist Academy to recite a few times the Taishangjiukujing Sutra and transcend those innocent people who died in Xiaolin Town."As a lord of a domain, he could finally offer a tribut...Qi Ting's gift of a hundred Myriad Yuan Stones made Jiang Wang instantly rich.
This barely covered Ye Qingyu's debt for purchasing Kaimudan for Jiang An'an.
However, tens of thousands of miles apart, it's difficult to repay the debt in advance. No merchant bank has the ability to connect the entire world, which even powerful nations have failed to achieve. Even a strong nation like Qi, whose Qi coins could barely circulate in the eastern regions, was secretly resisted by others.
Through Yun Zhong Ling, Jiang Wang said that no matter how much resources Ling Xiao Ge invested in An An's cultivation, he would definitely repay them.

He had never doubted this.
No matter what happens in the future, right now, if we can successfully secure the position of Magistrate of Rizhao County, then all of these things won't matter anymore.

Of the people in Qingyang Town, Dugu Xiao was about to open his meridian, and after half a year, Zhu Biqiong would return to the Diu Hai Lou. Zhang Hai still paid according to the previously agreed-upon Dao Yuan Stone, except for Yu Qiang. With his strength, the previously agreed-upon Dao Yuan Stone was obviously far from enough.
He sought out the chat to discuss how to repay the other person's contributions, "talking from the heart" was an unexpected outcome brought about by the Hanging Temple.

At least the result wasn't too bad.

He may not know if those ahead of him have been persuaded, but at least the pent-up emotions were released, which isn't a bad thing.
At the end of their conversation, Jiang Wang directly took out ten Wan Yuan Stones and listed the Taoist techniques he was skilled at and could pass on, allowing them to choose.
He readily accepted the ten thousand stones, stating that the arts were too complex for him to bother learning.
Although Jiang Wang was not stingy with passing on his teachings, he had the Flying Sword Era as the pinnacle of his lineage. His cultivation system was self-contained and unique, so he likely didn't need to rely on others.
"Gods and deities are different concepts. He said he respects his teachers as he respects gods, but you use examples of underworld deities. It's really not convincing."
Jiang Wang pondered Taoism in his quiet room. He was reflecting on his previous conversation with Xiang Qian, when Jiang Yan mocked him from the sidelines.

This is not Jiang Yan trying to find a sense of existence, but rather he is "proving his value."
Jiang Wang knew very well in his heart that this was because the technique he was currently studying made Jiang Yan feel threatened.
The secret Dao technique, "Dehu," gleaned from the Qi State treasury's highest-grade collection, typically requires a practitioner to be at least in the Inner Palace realm before attempting. Due to his growing soul power, he is now barely able to touch its periphery and has begun to sense its profound uses.
This is a profound art of dealing with emotions and communicating with spirits, especially in the battlefield where souls clash, it will be of great use.

Upon hearing Jiang Yan's words, he only said, "I don't know about that."
“The word ‘God’ comes from ‘Yi Shen’. ‘Shen’ refers to the shape of lightning in the sky. In ancient times, people thought that lightning was unpredictable and immensely powerful. Lightning taking on human form through its attire is what they considered ‘God’. Gods represent invincible power and incomprehensible ability.”
Jiang Yan said: "In the beginning, the Heavenly Gate was the realm of gods and humans. All mortals regarded those who reached the Tenglong Realm as deities! Because cultivators at this stage could fly through the heavens and earth, surpassing ordinary people."
> After the first practitioner who opened the Inner Palace appeared, the concept of deities expanded upwards. For a long period, being in the presence of God was considered to be a deity, as seen in the saying "I am like God descending." In ancient times, being in the presence of God was also called the "Immortality Realm," but later, when it was proven to be "false immortality," the name lost its meaning.

“Since ancient times, the concept of deities has been evolving. Today, the path of cultivation is complete and different from the past. To revere one's teacher like a god is because they feel their master is omnipotent and invincible. It is not about revering their teacher as a deity in a narrow sense!”
"What are deities What kind of existence is the Bone God"
Jiang Wang cooperatively asked, "What kind of existence"
Just as the human race forged a path of cultivation and ascended to transcendence, so too do the souls of the departed wander through various realms, awaiting their demise. Yet, among those unwilling to succumb to oblivion, there are those blessed with exceptional talent who cultivate their spirit bodies and forge the path of the divine.
>After the founding of Shinto, there were still those with lingering memories who were unwilling to reincarnate and instead chose to directly cultivate Shinto. These people were mostly cultivators themselves, and this led to the growth of Shinto. >As Shinto grew stronger, some who felt cultivation was hopeless but possessed a natural talent for Shinto would directly abandon their physical bodies and cultivate Shinto. Shinto once dominated an era!
> In a narrow sense, deities, excluding those born of the divine, are primarily cultivated from spirits. They can coalesce from faith, extract essence from death, or consume resentment. There are myriad shinto deities, each unique and diverse...
"As for Shinto, I don't know much about it. It's all through the worship of the Bone God."

Jiang Yan said: "The White Bone Venerable God is an existence far beyond our reach. His power in the Netherworld must be transcendent and unparalleled. But he is not 'omnipotent' and can be defeated."
So you use the failure of the White Bone Venerable as an example to tell Xiang Qian that "even gods can fail," although the reasoning is sound, it seems somewhat ridiculous to those who understand these things.
Jiang Wang waved his hand dismissively: "Foreward's knowledge far surpasses mine. He has such a peerless master and such a distinguished lineage, his vision wouldn't be narrow. I think he should know this himself, right"
"Indeed," Jiang Yan sighed. "Perhaps it's because the fat man you mentioned later touched his heart. Perhaps... he also needs a reason to convince himself!"
As for this, Jiang Wang wanted to get it, and Jiang Yan also wanted to get it.
But he deliberately jumped out to "point out" Jiang Wang's linguistic errors. It wasn't simply to correct Jiang Wang, but rather to showcase his own value.
Here's the text translated into English:

Jiang Wang pointed out "You should also know this," which means to Jiang Yan, I already know your thoughts, and I have received your kindness. This is to ease your mind.

Jiang Yan naturally "understood without needing to be told" and began to sigh with emotion instead.
Their relationship is complex, a symbiosis of coexistence and mutual suspicion.
Jiang Wang asked again, "Since the White Bone Demon God has already transcended the peak of extraordinary existence in the Netherworld, why did He descend to the mortal realm so many times"
"All I know is that He wants to achieve 'mortal deity'. But I don't know what it means to Him, nor do I understand the difference between 'mortal deity' and 'underworld deity'. But I guess it's a more advanced way!" Jiang Yan said.
“I've heard Bai Gu followers mention 'the White Bone Era' many times. What does it represent Is it like the 'Era of True One' or the 'Flying Sword Era' Is it related to the descent of the White Bone Demon”

As soon as the question was asked, Jiang Wang's mind lit up. Perhaps establishing the era of White Bones was the method to achieve current world deities! And current world deities were a step further than underworld deities.
Of course, he did not communicate this idea to Jiang Yan.
Perhaps only when this era truly arrives will we be able to know for sure,” Jiang Yan sighed.
It was obvious that Jiang Yan didn't want to say too much about the White Bone God.
"Do you know anything about Hanging Temple" Jiang Wang asked in return.
It's rare for Jiang Yan to be willing to perform today, and he doesn't mind sharing some more knowledge.
“The Eastern Sacred Land of Buddhism, an extremely ancient sect, very powerful, incredibly powerful! If you hadn't already had the official title bestowed upon you by the State of Qi, you might have been captured and shaved at Hanging Sky Temple!”
"Does Xukong Temple have a tradition of forcibly taking disciples"
“That’s not necessarily true. However, it’s best to steer clear of these mysterious and powerful forces until we know more about their intentions.”
Or perhaps he felt he had said enough for the day. After uttering those words, Jiang Yan ceased his discourse, silently extinguished his meditation candle, and fell silent.
Only Jiang Wang was left pondering the secrets of jealousy.
One thought, "During the time when that yellow-faced old monk was suffering greatly, Jiang Yan was actually quite honest."
