In the beginning there was the Tao, and the Tao was transformed into words.
In the Hongmeng Era, when spiritual energy had not yet become the mainstream of heaven and earth, there was a practice method that surpassed spiritual root qualifications - the way of speaking the spirit. The monks do not need to breathe out spiritual energy, but only need pure words and a clear mind to speak the Dharma: "The wind rises" can summon the wind from the nine heavens, and "Thunder comes" can summon the divine thunder from the nine heavens. At its peak, the Yan Ling Sect had seventy-two truth halls and three thousand witticism stations, and all nations came to court to listen to the sound of the great truth.
However, the way of speaking and spirituality finally violated some kind of taboo.
Historical records: The last leader of the Yan Ling clan, "Wiayu Tianzun", deduced the ultimate mantra at the Tiandaotai, trying to redefine the laws of the three realms with one word. Just when the mantra was about to be completed, the "Nirvana Mysterious Thunder" fell from the nine heavens, and the seventy-two halls of the Yanling Sect were turned into ashes overnight, and the Three Thousand Wanyu Platform fell silent. Since then, the way of speaking and spirituality has been completely cut off, and only scattered inheritance has been lost among the people, becoming commonplace jokes and market slang.
Instead, there is an era of cultivation based on spiritual roots.
