The sun rises high, and the sunlight casts shining fragments through the gaps between the branches and leaves, heralding the arrival of a new day.
In a small open space, Wu Qing sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, while Ye Ling was protecting him.
Wu Qing has now reached the realm of body refining and is practicing the realm of enlightenment. The so-called enlightenment means opening up the sea of consciousness and cultivating spiritual consciousness.
There is a strange space in everyone's mind, called the sea of consciousness, where human consciousness is born, but ordinary people cannot feel the existence of the sea of consciousness.
However, monks can gradually feel the existence of the sea of consciousness through the guidance of the exercises, and then they can observe the sea of consciousness in their own minds with self-awareness, and continue to open up and expand the space of the sea of consciousness through different exercises. The reason why we need to expand the sea of consciousness is because the function of the sea of consciousness is to store our understanding of the laws of the great road. Therefore, the larger the space here, the deeper our understanding of the great road will be in the future. It is said that the sea of consciousness of those saints and Taoists who have reached the realm of Hedao is really as wide as the ocean.
As for Ye Ling, who was standing aside, his area of consciousness was a grassland, and there was also a stone house built there. If anyone knew about it, Ye Ling would definitely be accepted as a closed disciple by all the major sects, because a person with a consciousness the size of a grassland would at least have the cultivation level of the Immortal Realm, and a building like a stone house would be unheard of.
Of course, after seeing the nameless technique given by the man in white, Ye Ling also knew that his sea of consciousness was different, but Ye Ling just thought it was the man in white who had done something and didn't think much about it.
Another aspect of cultivation in the realm of enlightenment is divine consciousness. Everyone is conscious, including ordinary people. Divine consciousness is a kind of progress and extension of consciousness.
Divine consciousness comes from consciousness, but it can be independent of consciousness. The understanding of the laws of the great road and the aura of heaven and earth requires spiritual consciousness. And spiritual consciousness is also a weapon in battle. Through practice and training, monks can put their spiritual consciousness outside the body, and they will be aware of all activities within the covered range.
For the original monks in the realm of enlightened consciousness, their spiritual consciousness can cover a radius of about two meters centered on themselves. With the increase of cultivation level, the power of spiritual consciousness will also continue to increase. The spiritual consciousness of strong men in Mingwei Realm and Hedao Realm can even obliterate the consciousness of ordinary people and even monks below Huiling Realm at will.
Of course, it is not uncommon for Ye Ling, who has the fourth level of innate cultivation, to be able to project his spiritual consciousness more than ten meters outward, but they are all rare beings, and their final achievements are no less than becoming saints and proclaiming ancestors.
After the enlightenment state, there is the cultivation state. As the name suggests, the cultivation state is to cultivate the origin of one's body.
Monks who have reached the state of enlightened consciousness use their spiritual consciousness to perceive the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and then guide the spiritual power into the body to open up the Dantian and store spiritual power. At the same time, using exercises to guide the spiritual power stored in the body to swim in the meridians and temper oneself is also a supplement to the physical training of the body in the body refining state, which trains muscles and bones, and the cultivation of the Dantian meridians in the Peiyuan state. One inside and one outside complement each other.
It is recorded in ancient books: All things have spirits, and humans are responsible for them. The human race is the most spiritual among all things, but it is very difficult for humans to perceive the spiritual power of heaven and earth. In comparison, the demon race has a much simpler experience of the spiritual power of heaven and earth. But precisely because the human race has the highest spirituality, once it resonates with the spiritual power of heaven and earth, its cultivation level will increase thousands of times faster than that of the demon race.
In this realm, the more spiritual power that is guided and stored in the Dantian, the higher the achievements in cultivation may be in the future. Those strong men with high realms guide and store massive amounts of spiritual power in the Peiyuan realm.
But those people are much inferior to Ye Ling, because Ye Ling's dantian stores not only a massive amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy, but also a part of the innate energy. These auras were introduced when the Broken Sword Diagram was building the foundation for Ye Ling.
When Ye Ling killed Zhou Yu before, he used a spell from the nameless technique given by the man in white to release the spiritual energy in his body outside his body and condense it into a weapon. Of course, this kind of spell is not easy to master, but it only took Ye Ling a very short time to learn and use it, which only shows that Ye Ling is extremely talented and has excellent skills.
The dagger that Ye Ling condensed contained some innate Qi, and it was so fierce and domineering that it caused Ye Ling to suffer a lot in the first place. Therefore, after entering Zhou Yu's body, these Gang Qi wreaked havoc on his meridians, which was also the main reason for Zhou Yu's serious injuries, so Xu Zheng could easily kill Zhou Yu.
Of course, Wu Qing also contributed to this. It stands to reason that Zhou Yu is in the Immortal Realm, and his body is also very powerful. Ordinary weapons cannot hurt him at all, but Wu Qing can easily smash Zhou Yu's head. It can only be said that Wu Qing's power is It's also extremely scary.
After about half an hour, Wu Qing slowly opened his eyes, stood up and smiled at Ye Ling: "Second brother, I saw my sea of consciousness. It was a place as big as our Yunlan Town, but it was completely blank. , there’s nothing in it.”
Ye Ling was surprised and unconsciously recalled that the records of Wuming Kung Fu mentioned this situation, saying that such a person has an innocent heart, is simple and kind, has no distracting thoughts, and is truly free from anything outside his heart.
Ye Ling couldn't help but secretly thought: Isn't this the third brother's character?
"But second brother, I still don't feel the existence of spiritual consciousness. As for the spiritual power of heaven and earth, I have no clue." Wu Qing was a little disappointed, and even wondered if he was too stupid to make progress. slow.
Ye Ling patted Wu Qing's shoulder and encouraged: "It doesn't matter, take your time, second brother believes you can do it." Ye Ling's own breakthrough to the realm of knowledge was with the help of the broken sword map, so for this I don't know much about realm cultivation, so I can't give Wu Qing much advice, so it's best to just give some words of advice.
However, with Ye Ling's encouragement, Wu Qingzhong regained his confidence, and he would never let his eldest brother and second brother down.
The two took a short rest, roughly identified the general direction based on the position of the sun, and continued to shuttle through the forest, heading towards the imperial capital...
…………
Thousands of miles away from the Baimang Forest, there is a huge and prosperous city. This is Tianyue City, the imperial capital of the Daqian Dynasty.
Late at night, a palace courtyard in the city was quiet, and the servants had all gone to rest. In a brightly lit study room, a young man wearing a python robe and a stern face was playing with chess pieces in his hands, looking at the complicated and intertwined chessboard on the table with a playful expression.
At this time, an old man who looked like a housekeeper knocked on the door gently, then stepped into the house and said to the young man: "The spies have received news that the prince is safe and sound, but he is alone. There is no trace of Dazhu Kingdom around him. The Sixth Prince is also missing."
"Oh?" The young man paused slightly and said with a smile: "Sixth brother is too impatient and exposed his thoughts so early. It seems that this is a flaw deliberately sold by the elder brother in order to lure him into taking the bait. Ah! What a pity for this dark chess piece."
With that said, the young man took a word off the chessboard and put it back into the chess box.
The old housekeeper said in a deep voice: "The prince will not be able to return until three days at the earliest. Do you want to send more people to rob and kill him?"
The young man waved his hand and said: "No need. This time it was the trap set up by the elder brother to reveal Lao Liu's true colors. Now that his goal has been achieved, if he goes now, he will die in vain." After pondering for a while, the young man spoke again. : "You go and get ready. I want to go into the palace to meet my father."
"Yes." The old housekeeper responded, turned around and exited the study.
The young man stared at the chessboard on the table, sneered and said to himself: "Brother, you are so indecisive and will only give in. How dare my father give you this great cause?"
…
The Dazhou Dynasty was located to the northwest of the Daqian Dynasty. Its area was only slightly larger than that of the Daqian Dynasty. It was the inheritance of the Ji family, one of the eight ancient clans, and was also the oldest country among the nine dynasties in the Eastern Region.
A fairy mountain in Lanzhou of the Great Zhou Dynasty was where the Liuyun Sect's sect was located. Although Liuyun Sect is not included in the Seven Lineages of Immortal Dao, it is still a large and powerful sect.
In a large hall located on the top of the mountain, Gui Xianggu, the leader of the Liuyun Sect, with white beard and hair, sat at the head of the table, and below him sat two old Taoist priests with white hair and childlike faces.
Suddenly, a little Taoist boy ran over in a panic and gasped: "It's not good, the true spirit mark of Master Song Dongtao's uncle has been destroyed."
The so-called true spirit mark is a secret method that imprints a person's soul in a container called a soul stone, which usually keeps a trace of flame burning. But if the imprinter dies, this trace of soul fire will be extinguished.
After hearing this, Gui Xianggu sighed. However, the two old Taoists at the bottom were filled with righteous indignation and said: "Senior Brother Song was invited by Baili Changkong, the crown prince of the Daqian Dynasty. Now that Senior Brother Song has died unfortunately, we, the Liuyun Sect, must seek an explanation from the Daqian Dynasty."
Gui Xianggu had an angry look on his face, slapped the armrest, and said sternly: "Don't think that I don't know, Master Song is here to assassinate Xu Zheng. If Baili Longteng finds out about this, it is not impossible for Liuyun Sect to be bloodbathed. You guys You have lived like a dog for a long time, do you have to let our clan be destroyed before you can give up?"
The two veterans were speechless, snorted coldly, turned and left.
Gui Xianggu stood up and walked out of the hall, muttering to himself: "I hope it is true that Baili Long will live a long life, otherwise our Liuyun Sect will be completely destroyed!"
Gui Xianggu looked up at the sky outside the palace. The night was dim, but there was no light...
