What is spiritual practice?
Not many people can answer this question. Most monks can only tell the teachings of previous sages without their own understanding.
When faced with Ye Fan's question, he could only give a scripted answer: There is endless dust between heaven and earth, and every dust is a world.
The same is true for the human body. Nothing can be seen, but it contains endless 'doors', just like the dust between heaven and earth.
The seemingly small body contains countless 'doors'. Keep opening these doors and discovering the 'true self' is practice.
This is undoubtedly correct, but it is only partly correct.
There are not many people who can truly explain the essence of spiritual practice. Such people are often called Taoist ancestors.
However, the mortal immortal is often called the seed of the Taoist ancestor, and Duan De happens to be a mortal immortal who has been reincarnated for nine generations.
As the first Heavenly Master in the Mythical Age, Duan De had great merits in the human world. Emperor Huangtian created the Secret Realm method, but it was not passed down. It was the Heavenly Master of the Crossing Tribulation who compiled the five secrets and became the first Supreme Being after the chaos of ancient times, creating a new world. Era of the Goddess!
In a sense, Emperor Huangtian is the first ancestor and Duan De is the second ancestor.
In terms of the cultivation method based on the body, Duan De has enough weight and voice, and he is a growing path-breaker.
He has unique insights into spiritual practice.
"Whether it is opening up the sea of suffering, transporting blood, or other methods, its essence is the sublimation of life."
"What is the ultimate level of sublimation? Countless Heavenly Lords and Ancient Emperors have speculated over the past years and came up with the word "immortal."
"This immortal is not just a true immortal, but an immortal. It is the dream pursued by all sentient beings throughout the ages."
"If you want to become an immortal, you must possess four points: one is the immortal body, the other is the immortal energy, the third is the immortal god, and the fourth is the immortal heart."
"The immortal body is the easiest. The emperor's body is immortal forever, but the emperor's corpse is psychic and can be called a quasi-immortal body. With a little polishing, it can be transformed into an immortal immortal body."
"Second is the Immortal Qi. The Immortal Essence accumulated in each Nirvana is where the Immortal Dao Essence is. This is the law of mortals. If you are in the heaven and the Immortal Qi is endless, you don't have to work hard to accumulate it yourself. However, the combat power is a little bit behind. .”
"Immortal Gods are here again. True immortals rely on the tribulation of becoming immortals to create their own immortal souls. Immortals in the mortal world rely on the tribulations of mortal world to create their own immortal souls. This is the point of becoming an immortal, usually around the sixth or seventh life."
"The fairy heart is the most difficult. I have a fairy heart, but it has been blocked by dust for a long time. When the dust is gone, the light will be born and shine through thousands of mountains and rivers."
"In the ages, there are only a few people who can awaken the immortal heart. Most of the true immortals, and even the quasi-immortal kings, do not have the immortal heart. They regard the heart of the universe as their own heart, and use the immortal realm to live forever and unite heaven and man. This is A heavenly heart is not an immortal heart.”
"An ancient star in ancient times, the Dharma has been dead for ten thousand years, the road is high and far away, and the essence is exhausted. The realm of essence cannot be cultivated. The only thing that can be worked hard is the mind."
"The secret of Qianzi is the magic method for training the mind, and the secret of Xingzi is the foundation for training the mind!"
Duan De talked eloquently: "Boy, what do you think is the fastest in the world?"
Ye Fan was stunned for a moment, and his first thought was the speed of light, which is about 300,000 kilometers per second, which is the unit of measurement of the universe.
The distance that light travels in one year is one light-year, and the observable range of the universe is 96 billion light-years.
"Speed of light?"
Duan De smiled dumbly and said: "The speed of the Golden Crow clan is indeed good. It is as fast as time. The speed of a Ziwei Golden Crow Saint can probably reach the speed of light you mentioned."
"However, it would take more than two million years for a Golden Crow Saint to cross the void from Ziwei to Beidou without resorting to star gates, void formations and other means."
"As powerful as the Great Sage, he can move one light year at a time. It would also take about a month to walk from Ziwei to Beidou."
"Even if a generation of quasi-emperors dies, they will never reach the edge of the universe. You must know that the universe is expanding infinitely."
"Perhaps, as you and I speak, an extra galaxy will appear in the universe."
Ye Fan was dumbfounded and once again realized the vastness of the universe and that the speed of light was indeed very fast. This was the limit that mortals living on the planet could imagine.
However, in the face of the endless void and the vast universe, the speed of light is completely insufficient.
What is faster than the speed of light?
"idea."
Ye Fan thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said seriously: "Thoughts are the fastest!"
"Yes, one thought creates the universe, and one thought spans time!"
"If you believe it, you have it; if you don't believe it, you don't have it."
Duan De chuckled: "The past and the future are intertwined, interpreting the past and the future. Moving forward in the long river of time will temper your mind and temper your will."
“One thought lasts forever, one thought revives, and if you never forget it, there will be an echo.”
"The speed of light is just the key to opening the long river of time, and thought is the hand that holds the key."
Theoretically, sages can also open the river of time and glimpse into the future. However, the lifespan of a sage is only ten thousand. If he touches the water of time, his lifespan will be exhausted immediately after reading it, which is no different from courting death.
This is why monks often can spy on Jiguang Pianyu in their later years, because people are about to die, and they no longer care whether they live longer or not. Anyway, they are all sitting down, so they can force a glance to satisfy their wishes and benefit future generations.
Duan De used many wonderful methods to reveal the secrets of the past, which was the true meaning of the teachings of the Heavenly Lord.
The avenue is so profound that not even the Emperor of Heaven can comprehend it all.
The great truth is so simple that even a mortal can understand it.
Ye Mou was thoughtful. He had been cultivating Liushenzang since then. Although he did not have a certain level of cultivation, his spiritual state had reached the level of enlightenment, and he could accept all kinds of Dharma and understand the mysteries.
"My way, my law, my way!"
Ye Fan murmured to himself, and his ears reverberated with the intertwined sounds of the secret of the past and the secret of the journey. Sometimes it was majestic, like the sound of thunder in the nine heavens, sometimes bustling, like the world of mortals, sometimes invisible, like the movement of particles.
What is Tao? !
"Three thousand avenues can lead to transcendence. There are no similar paths, only similar people."
What is law? !
"All laws fall from the sky. The ancient ancestors followed nature. People followed the earth, the earth followed the sky, the heaven followed the Tao, and the Tao followed the natural."
What is a road? !
"Where is the road? The road is under my feet! I am the only one in heaven and on earth."
While Ye Fan was asking and answering himself, the light of his soul was flying, and his treasure body was shining, making his heart empty and clear, cutting off his obsessions, and giving birth to the Tao in one thought.
"What the hell?!"
The Black Emperor suddenly raised his head, was shocked, and said in a voiceless voice: "This kid is cheating!"
For the first time, the secret before practice and the secret of practice touch the realm of empty enlightenment and search for a corner of time and space.
How many sages can't even get started?
"No!"
"It's not cheating, but this ancient planet is taking care of him?"
Duan De's eyes sparkled with light, capturing the endless Dao marks in the void, like natural formations, Hunyuan Ruyi, coming from the depths of the ancient stars.
Among the nine generations of reincarnation immortals, Duan De, one of them, was the source of enlightenment and was known as the source emperor. He indirectly created the two supreme beings, the source god and the source ghost.
It can be imagined that Duan De's Origin Technique is powerful. It is not an exaggeration to say that he can create the universe and play with it. He can even manipulate the tomb of the Immortal King.
However, he couldn't see through this ancient star.
Today's ancient stars are no longer the stars of the mythical era. After millions of years of accumulation in ancient times, they have covered up too many mysteries.
Kunlun Fairy Mountain, known as the hometown of gods, is only a corner of the earth. Mount Tai, known as the oldest and heaviest, is also only a corner of the earth.
Moreover, this is the home planet of the Human Emperor, which is extremely sacred and majestic.
"In ancient times, the Emperor of Heaven came out of the wilderness..."
"Is reincarnation going to happen in this life?"
Duan De's aura changed, it was vast and simple, and his originally cunning eyes became profound. He looked around the void and murmured in a low voice: "There is no reincarnation of people, only reincarnation."
"But why are they always similar? My Dao Fruit has verified part of reincarnation."
"Where is the other part of reincarnation?"
"Woof woof woof..." The big black dog was so frightened that it trembled. This time it was not Duan De who was asking questions, but the Samsara Immortal Tribulation Heavenly Lord who was asking about the past and present.
A person who can be called a Heavenly Emperor by a Samsara Immortal is by no means as simple as today's Human Heavenly Emperor.
Emperor Zun may be considered one of them.
However, the two heavenly emperors recognized by the cultivation world are the ancestor Huang Tiandi and the Taoist ancestor Zhang Tiandi.
"He can really become the Emperor of Heaven... The true blood of the Emperor of Heaven must be very precious!"
Duan De whispered, and the original noble and sacred aura instantly faded away, replaced by endless vulgarity and evil, and he let out a villainous laugh: "Big black dog, go get some syringes!"
The Black Emperor's eyes suddenly lit up. Taking blood was a job he was familiar with. This was how Emperor Hengyu was tricked by the big black dog back then.
When other people take blood, it is dead blood. When they are in the realm of saints, it is holy blood. When they are in the realm of emperors, it is emperor blood. There are no more changes.
】
However, the big black dog has mastered mysterious spells and relies on technology to make a living. The blood taken out is living blood, and it has an implicit connection with the host and can grow together!
If you are a bit more evil, you can use evil spells like the Seven Arrows Book to kill people invisibly.
"I'll come as soon as I go!"
The big black dog barked and wandered around the city. Then he rummaged through the boxes at a veterinarian's house and found several extra-large syringes.
…
Climbing the road to heaven, walking in song, covering the sky with a snap of one's fingers.
Nine huge dragon corpses pulled an ancient bronze coffin, which lasted forever, and the legend of a generation of emperors began.
Ye Fan dreamed that by chance, he was taken to the Beidou Star Territory by the Nine Dragons. Time flowed. I don’t know how many years have passed. Along the way, he adventured in forbidden areas, learned source techniques, fought against holy land families, fought against ancient creatures, traveled through the ancient roads in the starry sky, and blocked the darkness. turmoil……
When the fight with a certain stone man was reaching its climax, Ye Fan felt weak, as if someone had pinched his waist.
"Ants dare to be so presumptuous!"
The Stone Emperor was furious. A great sage-level ant was actually distracted when fighting against the Ancient Emperor. It was simply a reversal of reality.
Shouldn't the ancient emperor be distracted during the battle with the great sage? ! The furious Stone Emperor had no intention of teasing the ants, and killed them with one look.
Because of the momentary distraction, even Daoyan Immortal Clothes could not protect Ye Fan's soul this time.
The blood of his life fell down and drained out of his eyes, covering everything. He disintegrated, and the light formed by the blood, mud and broken bones hit the Stone Emperor.
The world was dark, he couldn't see or hear, and his perception dissipated.
After a crisp sound, Ye Fan woke up and saw that it was no longer the boundless void war, nor the Dark Supreme who launched the dark turmoil.
The sneaky fat man, and the big black dog with a sinister smile.
The surrounding plane trees are swaying in the wind. Outside the courtyard, there are modern buildings, and there is busy traffic in the distance.
"Am I on Earth?!"
"I'm back?"
Ye Fan whispered, his eyes were deep and simple, as if the ancient dragon was hiding in the pool and could break through the dragon and ascend to the sky at any time.
That vast and surging power surged into my heart, as if a single thought could transcend light years and shatter the sun in the sky.
This feeling comes and goes in a hurry.
After a moment, Ye Fan came back to his senses and said with certainty: "I didn't leave."
He is not the Holy Body of the Conqueror, but an ordinary Ming Dynasty warrior in the city.
However, this time he seemed to have understood the true meaning of Ming Jin.
Ming, shine.
The light of the soul that is born by mixing one's own mind and body shines on all things in the world, gradually moving towards the realm of unity between heaven and man.
"My heart is bright!"
Ye Fan said again with great determination, looking at Duan De and Heihuang.
At that time, the Heavenly Lord and all the true disciples were seated on their seats, their majesty shining brightly, filling the world with a majestic light that was immeasurable.
This is the state!
A certain Tribulation-Transcending Heavenly Lord took a deep breath and said, "What a pervert!"
The big black dog also felt guilty for a while, because Mark's newly awakened eyes seemed to be about to fight with the Supreme Emperor.
Ye Fan, who had a bright heart, looked at his arms and said suspiciously: "What did you do while I was away?"
"Hahaha, nothing, nothing."
The big black dog laughed: "I just saw a mosquito biting you and sucking your blood. Let's help you fight the mosquitoes."
Ye Fan sneered: "I'm afraid it's not a mosquito as big as a fist!"
"Ahem, there are all kinds of wonders in the world. Besides, isn't the spiritual energy revived now?"
The big black dog got cold and ran towards the door, talking nonsense.
Although the previous Ye Fan was extremely talented, he was still a normal person in the world.
The big black dog is very confident that when he recovers his cultivation level, it will not be surprising if he only has a holy body.
However, now Ye Fan gives the Black Emperor the feeling that he can really fight with the Supreme.
Regardless of victory or defeat, at least he has this momentum and this kind of heart!
"Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist!"
Ye Fan started a mysterious boxing stance, and his fist power was invincible. It penetrated the sky and the earth, and actually resonated with Ye Fan, making the blood and blood in his body boil.
This is not a combat experience, but a release of primitive instinct!
It seems to be tailor-made for the Holy Body.
The Holy Body can learn the Six Paths of Samsara Fist as easily as an ordinary person can walk.
"Woof!"
"This kid is so outrageous!"
"It's worse than cheating, God, God... whoever comes out to take care of it!"
The big black dog screamed in fear, then jumped over the wall and narrowly avoided a six-path reincarnation punch.
"it is true."
Ye Fan stood with his hands behind his back, not chasing the Black Emperor, but standing in the courtyard with infinite emotion in his heart.
Like a dream or an illusion, everything I spied on is true or false.
Is it the evolution of a corner of the future, or is there really such a world?
