Chapter 895: Trouble During Tribulation
One, martial practice after a warrior had entered the Trueman stage required understanding the principles of the Great Way and the rules of the world to achieve unity between body, true qi, and yang god. Only by building the bridge that connected a warrior’s inner world and the outside world could one welcome a tribulation and potentially become a Sage.
If a warrior could not achieve unity in qi, essence and spirit; if their body, true qi and yang god could not exist in harmony, then they could never become a Sage or a God-On-Earth.
Both the “Paranirmitavaśavartin Heavenly Demon Sutra” and the “Earthly Sovereign Scripture” were ultimate martial arts, and the martial intent and principles they embodied were completely different from each other. That wasn’t to say that it was absolutely impossible to achieve trinity of being with these two martial arts, but it was going to be a thorny journey for sure.
The Profound Yellow Mother Qi was the foundation and core of the “Earthly Sovereign Scripture”, so the yang god it created would definitely be compatible with his body. Commanding his mind with the “Earthly Sovereign Scripture” as the base would be greatly beneficial for his future cultivation and his entrance to godhood and sagehood as well.
Two, the “Paranirmitavaśavartin Heavenly Demon Sutra” was extremely powerful, but it was just as anomalous. The longer he practiced it, and the higher he climbed up the ladder of cultivation, the greater the pollution of red dust[1] and desire became. At a certain point, he would even gain a karmic bond with the Paranirmitavaśavartin Heavenly Demon himself. Best case scenario, his personality would undergo a transformation, and he would become extremely temperamental. Worst case scenario, he would go insane and become a slave of the Paranirmitavaśavartin Heavenly Demon.
The Profound Yellow Mother Qi was a qi of beneficence and Nature. It could secure one’s fortune and repel all evils. Using it to purify his Paranirmitavaśavartin Heavenly Demon Yin God and manifesting a yang god would cause his mind to become one with the Profound Yellow Mother Qi, immunizing it from all evils and influences. He would no longer have to worry about suffering a deviation or rebound from his martial art.
Three, the “Paranirmitavaśavartin Heavenly Demon Sutra” was a Trueman stage cultivation art only. He could not become a Sage through it. Unless he was satisfied with just being a Trueman, he must practice a new cultivation art or find an alternative.
He did not want to practice a new cultivation art. For one, it might not necessarily be as useful as the “Paranirmitavaśavartin Heavenly Demon Sutra”. Even if it was, it might not be suitable for him, not to mention that it would take time and effort to practice a new cultivation art.
Since the first option wasn’t palatable, he could only seek out an alternative. He could merge the Profound Yellow Mother Qi and his yang god into one, or he could push the “Paranirmitavaśavartin Heavenly Demon Sutra” to greater heights through the Profound Yellow Mother Qi and the “Earthly Sovereign Scripture”.
