Chapter 1304 The Authority of the Dao Lord What Is the Dao Lord
Heavenly Court, Five Elder Lords' Palace.
As one of the Five Elder Lords of Heavenly Court, Qinglingshi Laojun does not have much power in his hands, but this is also compared with those gods of the same level.
Even as a noble god, the power in his hands is still unattainable for some gods and cultivators, and they need to look up to him.
Moreover, in the cultivation world, strength is the truth, and a fist is power. Even if you have enough power without some related functions, you can still get the respect of others and enjoy some things that others cannot get.
Even if Qinglingshi Laojun does not have too much power in Heavenly Court, as a True Immortal Sixth Heaven, he is still one of the strongest in the world.
Other gods in Heavenly Court may ignore him, but those many True Immortals from the Taoist Sect, as long as they are not True Immortals from the top immortal sects, dare not ignore these five Elder Lords. Even some True Immortals from the top immortal sects will retain the least respect for them.
Being able to sit in this position and be recognized by several Taoist Lords, who think that they can replace the Six Imperial Lords to preside over the overall situation of the Heavenly Court in the future, the means of the Five Old Lords are also extraordinary.
After all, to put it bluntly, even if they are to be added together by the many Taoist Lords in the future, like the Jade Emperor, being a puppet is not something that everyone can do, and they also need enough ability and strength to handle some small things.
The path of the Five Old Lords is actually very clear. They themselves practice the Way of the Five Elements. Now they have the position of the Five Old Lords. If they want to prove themselves as Taoist Lords, there are only two choices before them.
One is to directly overthrow the existence of the Six Imperial Lords, and then change the entire Heavenly Court. As the Lords of the Heavenly Court, they still have the power in their hands under the blessing of luck, which is completely enough to prove themselves as Taoist Lords and become powerful among Taoist Lords.
The second is to continue to collect the corresponding power in their hands, and then achieve Taoist Lords with the power of these powers.
However, the first path is too difficult. Not to mention that the Nanji Changsheng Emperor, the Taoist of immortality, is so powerful that they cannot shake him. Even if the Nanji Changsheng Emperor acquiesces to this matter, the remaining few Yu Zuns are not something they can contend with, even with the Taoists who support them behind the scenes.
If there was once some doubt whether all six Yu Zuns had achieved Dao Jun in the past ten thousand years, now, in addition to the fact that Hou Tu Yu Zu had already achieved Dao Jun, which is widely known, the Jade Emperor and Ziwei Emperor also showed their powerful Dao Jun fighting power.
Would anyone still think that the remaining Dongji Qinghua Emperor and Xifang Gou Chen Emperor, the two Yu Zuns, had not achieved Dao Jun?
Among the six Yu Zuns, except for the Nanji Changsheng Emperor, the other five Yu Zuns have similar strength realms, which is also the reason why the fighting between the Yu Zuns in the entire Heavenly Court can be controlled to a certain extent without chaos.
Their own qualifications and understanding are similar, and the resources they have obtained are also similar. The Jade Emperor and the Purple Star Emperor can both be certified as Dao Lords. It is strange that the Qinghua Emperor and the Gou Chen Emperor have not been certified as Dao Lords.
So if the Five Old Lords really want to achieve their goal of being certified as Dao Lords, this first path has no chance of success. Facing the five Dao Lord-level Yuzun except the Southern Pole Changsheng Emperor, this is something that the Dao Lords behind them cannot do.
So for these five of them, the only choice they can make is the second one, which is to seize more relative power, and then use it to be certified as Dao Lords, and then plan other things.
The Five Old Lords are known as the beginning of the Five Elements and the ancestors of the Five Qi. Although the Tao they practice may not necessarily be based on the corresponding Five Elements and Five Qi, they must be inseparable from this part.
For these Five Old Lords, the Tao of the Five Elements and the Tao of the Five Qi are either to choose one of them, or to master the practice of all of them. This is the foundation of their divine position. Otherwise, this divine position will not help them at all, but will be a burden.
However, for the Five Old Lords, even if they make the second choice, it is not that simple.
It is true that compared to the second choice, they will not face several powerful Taoist Lords directly, but it does not mean that the authority of the five elements and five qi is so easy to obtain, and the opponent is simple.
Let alone the authority of the five qi, the Five Old Lords themselves are the ancestors of the five qi, and a considerable part of the authority of the five qi is in their hands. They dare not touch the authority of the five qi that is not in their hands.
What do practitioners cultivate? They cultivate essence, qi and spirit, and this qi is both the essence of heaven and earth and the qi of the body. Qi is one of the three treasures of the human body and the foundation of practitioners.
The Taoism pays attention to the three treasures of essence, qi and spirit, and qi is divided into yin and yang and five elements. Therefore, the Five Old Lords are known as the ancestors of the five qi, so they can have a high status in this Taoism. Because yin and yang evolve the five elements, the Five Old Lords can also be called the source of the qi of Taoism.
It can be said that based on this alone, if they can truly control the power of the Taoist Qi and carry forward the way of refining Qi, then they can become Taoist Lords.
However, this possibility can only be thought about, and it must not be taken seriously. If you really want to do this, it is really easy to lose your life.
In the concept of Taoism, Qi is the foundation of all things and the source of practice. Every Taoist Lord in Taoism, especially the Taoist Lord who has opened up his own avenue, although they do not have similar titles to the Five Old Lords, they are also the ancestors of Qi Dao and control the power of Qi.
If the Five Elders want to seize the power of Qi, the danger they may encounter may be even more dangerous than seizing the Six Imperials, because this is really a fight for power between Tiangang and the Taoist Lords, which is a pure way to commit suicide.
They compete with the Six Imperials of Heaven for power, even if they are opponents at the level of Taoist Lords, they have the support of some Taoist Lords of Taoism.
But if they want to compete with the Taoist Lords of Taoism for the power of Qi, it is really their own fault, and no one can help them at all.
Although they are called the ancestors of the Five Qi, they can only hold the power of the Five Qi in their hands. As for other Taoist sects opened up in Taoism, such as the Dragon and Tiger Talisman, the Divine Sky Alchemy, etc., although these are derived from the Qi Dao, they also claim to be sects and do not listen to the orders of the Five Elders.
Even if those Taoist Lords are not the character of doing everything to the extreme, giving them some leeway, if they want to do these things, they must compete with some Taoist masters.
It can be said that after trying various ways, the fastest way to see results seems to be to collect the corresponding five elements authority, use it to prove the Dao Lord, break the current deadlock, and break out of the situation.
And the authority of the five elements between heaven and earth, if we talk about the most, in this heavenly court, except for the five virtues star lords, there seems to be no one else.
However, although in name, they are still the superiors of the five virtues star lords, but with the domineering and strong five virtues star lords, they don't even obey the orders of the Jade Emperor and the Purple Emperor, so how can they be willing to care about the five old lords?
In terms of the rank of the gods in the heavenly court, their five virtues star lords are slightly inferior to the five old lords, but in terms of the authority in their hands, there is a world of difference between the two sides. After all, the five virtues star lords are genuine and powerful gods, and they are well-known in the heavenly court.
If we talk about strength, they and the Five Elders are all at the sixth level of the True Immortal Realm, and the Fire Virtue Star Lord is even more powerful than the Dao Lord. Even the several Imperial Lords in the Heavenly Court have to give way to them, and they will never give face to the Five Elders.
Speaking of which, the situations of the Five Elders are different. It is not easy for them to seize power from the Five Virtue Star Lords. The Fire Virtue Star Lord is at the level of the Dao Lord, and the Southern Danling True Old Heaven Lord who holds the power of the Fire Element cannot touch him at all.
With the power of the Fire Virtue Star Lord, let alone the fact that he is only at the sixth level of the True Immortal Realm, even if he is at the Dao Lord, he is not qualified to challenge such a terrifying Dao Lord.
Although the opponents of the other Laojuns are not Daojun masters like Huode Xingjun, they are not easy to deal with. Jinde Taibai Xingjun, Shuide Xingjun, Tude Xingjun, all of them are either from top immortal sects with Daojun support, or they are strong and have strong support under their command. They are tougher than each other and it is not easy to deal with them.
So after comprehensive observation, the Mude Xingjun targeted by Qinglingshi Laojun is a True Immortal of the Sixth Heaven, but as a casual cultivator, he has no power under his command and no backing, so he is the easiest one.
It's funny to say that a True Immortal of the Sixth Heaven is a top existence in the sea of heaven and earth, but he is relatively the easiest one to deal with among the targets of the five Laojuns.
But even if it is easy to deal with, it is only relative. Even for Qinglingshi Laojun, it is not easy to deal with Mude Xingjun and seize the authority of the Wood Dao from him.
Almost all the authority of the Wood Dao in the world is in the hands of him, Mude Xingjun and Jumang Zuwu. Even the other True Immortals who practice the Great Way of Wood have limited authority in their hands due to their low strength.
Although if they can collect all the authority in the hands of the True Immortals of the Great Way of Wood, they will definitely not be inferior to any of them, and there may even be some left.
However, for this method, none of the three of them did it, and even chose to give up immediately after thinking about it.
Not to mention that this process will be very troublesome, consuming an unknown amount of energy and time, the impact behind it alone is not a good thing for the three of them.
The Great Way of Wood, as the most basic Great Way in the world, there are countless cultivators who practice this path, and even use this path to prove the existence of True Immortals.
And most of the True Immortals of the Wood Dao, their understanding of the Great Way of Wood, and some so-called authority, are actually following their footsteps, which are just a derivative of their Wood authority, and are not unique at all.
The authority of the Great Dao is unique. This statement is correct. The authority of each Great Dao is limited. When a certain strong person masters the corresponding authority of the Great Dao, the later ones cannot compete for it.
But this refers to the authority at the top, or the authority of the Great Dao that touches the origin of wood. This authority can directly comprehend and influence the origin of the law, so it is unique.
However, it does not mean that there are only so many authorities in each Great Dao. There are countless practitioners in the world, and there is no telling how many true immortals there are. If it is really just like this, then it means that the road for later ones is completely cut off, and there is no possibility of practicing and moving forward.
In addition to the original source authority of each Great Dao, there are many derived authorities. These authorities can also be used to comprehend the Great Dao and borrow the power of the Great Dao, but to some extent, the effect is worse.
If the origin of a certain avenue is compared to a company, then the original origin authority is the original shares of the company, and the number of people who hold these original shares means their own position in the company of the origin of this avenue.
However, the composition of a company is not just the shareholders who hold the original shares. In addition to these shareholders, there are also some managers and executors of different levels.
Although these managers and executors do not have the original shares of the origin of the avenue, they cannot directly contact the origin, change some direct rules of the origin, and change the company's goal plan, but they also have certain authority and can use the power of the origin company to complete many things and use it to gain benefits for themselves.
The monarch of the Tao is equivalent to the person who holds the most original shares of a avenue. He can use these shares to influence the origin of the avenue and set goals and plans.
According to the research of many Daojuns in the world today, in fact, when a certain strong person comprehends the avenue he practices and controls the authority of the avenue at the level of one-tenth of the avenue, then it is equivalent to obtaining the authority of the Daojun and can step into the realm of the Daojun.
That is to say, in a sense, each avenue can accommodate ten Daojun positions under the most ideal circumstances.
Of course, this is only the most ideal situation. After all, people are not satisfied. Every strong person who has achieved Daojun wants to get more shares and is absolutely not satisfied with only one-tenth of the share.
You must know that according to the research of these Daojuns, one-tenth is the bottom line, that is, if the power in your hands and the ability to master the law are lower than one-tenth of this level, there is a great possibility that you will lose the position of Daojun. Although you can still maintain a strong combat power at this time, you will lose the status of Daojun.
It is true that there are still few Daojuns in the world now, and there has never been a Daojun falling from status, but no one dares to guarantee that this will never happen.
You must know that as the world becomes more and more prosperous, there will be more and more strong people, and if nothing unexpected happens, there will be more and more Daojuns. What if someone forcibly seizes the power in your hands and makes you lose the power in your hands? (End of this chapter)
