Guangchengzi sometimes couldn't tell if these brainless netizens who praised Taoism were actually praising Taoism or slandering it!
Taoists are also human!
Being human, there are good and bad among them!
The Taoist fanboys portray every Taoist as perfect, multi-talented, and without any flaws. What's the difference between this and blindly chasing stars?
Are these unrealistic false advertisements actually praising Taoism, or are they high-level black humor, provoking people's aversion to Taoism and tarnishing its reputation?
For the spread of true Taoist thought, these brainless Taoist fanboys are only serving to create enemies, cause trouble, and smear its name!
One cannot expect a true Taoist to be friendly towards these internet Taoist fanboys who are constantly making enemies and spreading the message that "my brother is the most powerful."
Just as a celebrity wouldn't be friendly towards their crazy, brainless fans who constantly make enemies and boast about their idol's superiority.
"In times of chaos, monks retreat to seek refuge, while Taoists descend the mountain to save people."
Guangchengzi recited this saying, and as a true Taoist, he couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.
In times of chaos, some Taoists did descend the mountain to save people, but there were also Taoists who simply ran away!
Are all Taoists perfect in character?
This is simply unrealistic!
In times of chaos, did monks retreat to seek refuge?
Monks are also human, and there are good and bad among them!
Indeed, some monks ran away directly!
But there were also monks who actively fought!
Did the monks of Mount Wutai, who fought to the last man against foreign invaders, have their achievements erased by these internet Taoist fanboys?
Whether monks or Taoists, there are good and bad. To generalize and denigrate them entirely is...
"Right now, the Chan School in this Primordial World has completely become the Taoism that these internet Taoist fanboys fantasize about in their minds. It is not the true Taoism!"
"True Taoism would not commit acts of verbally abusing Taoism and then directly killing and destroying human bodies. Nor would it allow all humans to cultivate immortal fields solely for the purpose of absorbing incense and faith!"
Guangchengzi was a transmigrator. He possessed a golden finger called the God-tier Deduction System.
According to the system's own description, it could fuse various cultivation techniques, divine abilities, and spells to deduce supreme and unparalleled cultivation methods!
As long as there were suitable cultivation techniques to fuse, the God-tier Deduction System claimed it could even deduce techniques that would allow one to cultivate to the level of a Great Dao Saint!
With this system, Guangchengzi could easily discern the efficacy and quality of all cultivation techniques. After all, deducing a technique at the Great Dao Saint level would require the fusion of at least a thousand or ten thousand ordinary techniques, or more than ten Saint-level techniques as a foundation!
The key was fusion!
If he couldn't use the system to instantly discern the quality and efficacy of a cultivation technique, how could Guangchengzi fuse it into a Great Dao Saint-level technique?
At this moment, Guangchengzi observed the humans cultivating immortal fields on the mountainside of Kunlun Immortal Mountain, below the Chan School.
These humans, who only reached the stages of refining essence into qi and refining qi into spirit, with no Earth Immortals among them.
From them, he could discern the cultivation techniques they practiced!
[Incense True Seed Method]
[Surface Description: Immortals bestow true seeds upon mortals, enlightening humans to achieve immortal careers!]
[Actual Description: A method for superiors to control subordinates. Immortals use their divine abilities and magical powers to evolve so-called true seeds and plant them in the dantian of mortals.]
[Mortals, relying on the true seeds bestowed by immortals, cultivate immortal fields and blessed lands, planting countless rare treasures and immortal herbs, and tending to them. Through these farming actions, they enhance their own magical power, cultivating from refining essence into qi, to refining qi into spirit, and even to refining spirit into void, and refining void into Dao.]
[From mortals with a lifespan of only a hundred years, they can step into the realm of refining spirit into void, with a lifespan of up to fifty thousand years! Stepping into the realm of refining void into Dao, with a lifespan of up to six hundred thousand years!]
[They can cultivate immortal fields for the immortals of the Chan School for six hundred thousand years...]
"Can cultivate immortal fields for the immortals of the Chan School for six hundred thousand years..."
As Guangchengzi read this sentence recorded in the God-tier Deduction System, his heart couldn't help but feel a chill.
Should he be glad that he had directly transmigrated into the body of Guangchengzi, the first disciple of the Chan School and a primordial divine being... rather than transmigrating into the body of a human who was cultivating?
The humans in this world were too tragic!
"I can roughly understand why the immortals of the Chan School can make these humans willingly farm and praise the Chan School..."
"It's by using the longevity of cultivation to attract them!"
"Ordinary mortals have a lifespan of only a hundred years!"
"As long as they step onto the path of cultivation and reach the realm of refining spirit into void, they will have a lifespan of fifty thousand years!"
"A hundred years or fifty thousand years, which would you choose?"
"Even if it requires farming immortal fields, living longer is always a good thing! Moreover... the immortals of the Chan School deeply understand human nature and have even established immortal official positions specifically for veteran farmers!"
In the Chan School, the direct disciples of the Primordial Heavenly Venerate were only the Twelve Golden Immortals! Although there were other cultivators like Yun Zhongzi and Baihe Tongzi, and some of the Twelve Golden Immortals now had third-generation disciples.
But overall, the number of cultivators truly belonging to the Chan School did not exceed thirty.
Unlike the Jie School, where ten thousand demons came to pay homage, or the Western Teachings, which accepted disciples widely, the Primordial Heavenly Venerate valued elites! He valued their origins! He would not accept too many disciples!
However, what about the countless rare treasures and immortal herbs in Kunlun Immortal Mountain? Should the disciples of the Chan School personally manage them?
Should they personally cultivate them?
The Twelve Golden Immortals were so high and mighty, and the Primordial Heavenly Venerate valued origins so much, how could he possibly let the disciples of the Chan School do such things?
Therefore, as early as when he achieved sainthood, the Primordial Heavenly Venerate observed the past, present, and future, and knew that humans were the future protagonists of heaven and earth.
He did the same thing as Zhun Ti and Jie Yin!
That is, he went to snatch a group of humans and let them multiply at the foot of Kunlun Immortal Mountain! To marry and have children!
From then on, hundreds of billions of humans were cultivated within Kunlun Mountain!
All of them were ordered by the Primordial Heavenly Venerate to cultivate immortal fields!
"No! The logic here is still somewhat flawed!"
"A Grand Unity Golden Immortal possesses boundless magical power. If they spend a large amount of time, they can open up a medium-thousand world the size of a galaxy!"
"This is equivalent to a medium-thousand world with forty trillion star systems!"
"With such powerful magical power of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, can the farming of hundreds of billions of humans who haven't even reached the planetary level, for sixty thousand years, compare to a Grand Unity Golden Immortal farming for one day?"
"Did the Primordial Heavenly Venerate not consider the issue of efficiency?"
Guangchengzi had transmigrated from Earth into the body of this first disciple of the Chan School!
The God-tier Deduction System had solved the problem of a mortal soul without extraordinary power possessing the body of the first disciple of the Chan School!
Since Guangchengzi transmigrated from Earth.
