When Ye Xiaocheng heard this, his head was buzzing. He had been fussing for a long time and hadn't started formal training yet.
What is a narrow escape from death? This is the first time.
Dao Jing said: "Do you know why I have been suppressing your realm and not letting you break through?"
Ye Xiaocheng thought for a moment and said, "Master wants me to lay a solid foundation."
"Yes, but in your case, just laying a solid foundation is not enough. You must do more. I want to tap out all your potential. These potentials exist in the human body, but most people are not aware of it. , if it is not unearthed in time in the early stage of cultivation, this person will be useless." The Taoist Scripture said.
"But if I tap out all my potential so early, will I not be able to make any progress in the future?" Ye Xiaocheng wondered.
Ye Xiaocheng knew that Taoist Master would not harm him, but he just didn't understand the reason.
"The potential I'm talking about and the potential you're talking about are two different things. I can't explain it to you now. I'll tell you the conclusion directly. The more thoroughly you tap your original potential, the stronger and more profound your skill's potential will be. This is like laying a foundation. , it seems that the ground is hollowed out, but in fact it is to build taller and heavier buildings.”
"Master, I'm not stupid, just say lay the foundation and that's it." Ye Xiaocheng rolled his eyes.
"No, laying the foundation is not the same thing as tapping the potential as I told you. In order for you to understand, I have to use this analogy. At least you will understand the importance of this step after you become a saint." Dao Jing explained patiently. road.
"Okay, just tell me what to do."
Ye Xiaocheng gave up completely, so he just practiced in a daze.
He knew that he was a complete novice in cultivation, his realm was as low as dust, and trying to understand all the mysteries of cultivation was like pulling up his own hair, which was simply impossible.
Fortunately, he has a Taoist master, who is a clone of Emperor Void. Although his combat power is not as strong as that of Emperor Void, he has all the Taoist experience of Emperor Void.
"Before you start practicing formally, I have to explain some truth to you first. Otherwise, you won't realize how important this training system is, and you may develop resistance during the training process. That would be putting the cart before the horse." Dao Jing said kindly. said.
"Please tell me, I am all ears," Ye Xiaocheng said with a smile.
"There is a famous saying in the world of cultivation: realm is king. Do you agree with this?" Dao Jing asked.
"That's of course. Even if my disciple's combat prowess is incredible, if he encounters the most rubbish Nascent Soul who wants to beat me up, he still has to run away quickly, and it's hard to say whether he can escape." Ye Xiaocheng said honestly.
"Don't say that. Those who can cultivate to the realm of Yuanying will not be too rubbish. At most, they are just ordinary rubbish." Dao Jing laughed.
"Of course Nascent Soul is not worth mentioning in front of Master, no matter the level, it is the same." Ye Xiaocheng took the opportunity to lick it.
"If I don't suppress your breakthrough, you now have enough cultivation resources. It is estimated that you will not encounter bottlenecks before reaching the realm of gods. In other words, you can break through to Nascent Soul in a short period of time, about half a year. In the later stage of Dzogchen, in that case, you will be a veritable great monk. Do you think this is good?" Dao Jing asked solemnly.
"I..." Ye Xiaocheng did not answer immediately. Is it good or bad? He doesn't know either.
He was indeed able to break through all the way to Nascent Soul Dzogchen. Half a year was more than enough, and probably three months was enough. However, there would definitely be loopholes in such a quick success. He couldn't tell where the loopholes were. It should be due to a defect in his state of mind.
"Let's put it this way, a complete and mature cultivation system cannot be established overnight. It needs to be baptized and tested over a long period of time. Every step of this system has its own uniqueness. If you just rush by, you will miss it. The best scenery." Dao Jing started to use metaphors again.
"Master, there is a word called experience. Cultivation also requires experience. Is this what you mean?" Ye Xiaocheng speculated.
"Yes, cultivation focuses on cultivating the mind. It takes time to cultivate. It cannot be done in one go. It must be done step by step and solidify the foundation step by step. If you advance quickly, your foundation will inevitably be unstable and you will stop before a certain great realm, unable to move even an inch. go ahead."
Dao Jing was immersed in his own description.
Ye Xiaocheng listened carefully and remembered it in his heart. He could probably understand what the Taoist master said, but it would take time to understand the underlying principles.
He has never experienced the scenery of the realm behind, so naturally he cannot know the truth contained in it.
"Let me tell you something else. It may help you understand the importance of laying a good foundation when you are at a low level."
The Taoist master thought it was time to discuss the Tao with this disciple, so he told Ye Xiaocheng:
There is a famous great emperor in our country. When he reached the quasi-emperor perfection in cultivation, he said that he could not go any further. He was stuck in the realm before he became the great emperor.
This step has been stuck for five thousand years. He repeatedly combed through every detail of his cultivation process, and finally discovered that in the initial cultivation, he advanced too quickly and ignored the foundation of the lowest realm, which meant that there was a slight flaw in the foundation. .
It was this flaw that, when he reached the quasi-emperor realm, actually magnified into an insurmountable barrier, firmly blocking him from the great emperor realm.
This senior was also a ruthless person, so he simply abandoned all his cultivation, and his soul was reincarnated with all his memories.
Of course, he was reincarnated with his memories, without the in-uterus mystery, and he made all preparations before rebirth, arranged guardians, and prepared sufficient cultivation resources.
Even so, he still spent three thousand years practicing from scratch. This time he made up for all the flaws in his previous cultivation realm, and finally re-cultivated to the quasi-emperor perfection.
Then he became the emperor.
He repeatedly talked about this matter with his disciples and warned them that they must repeatedly check whether there are any flaws in the small realm of cultivation. If so, they should practice again as soon as possible, so as not to reach a very high realm and spend too much money. The energy is reincarnated and rebuilt.
Not everyone can be like him, with connections in the underworld, and can be reborn with all their memories. Many people have also become cruel and reincarnated. Unfortunately, when reincarnated, they encountered a mystery in the womb and were unable to awaken themselves, resulting in confusion. Life after life passed, and finally it was completely gone.
At this point, Dao Jing stopped and sighed heavily.
"Master, do you want me to abandon my cultivation and start practicing again from the first level of Qi training?" Ye Xiaocheng listened in a daze, but seemed to be alert.
"No, the so-called qi training period is not actually cultivation. It has not even crossed the threshold. It is at most a preparatory period for cultivation. Only in the early stage of foundation building can we really enter cultivation, which is the best period for laying the foundation. "Tao Jing said.
"Oh, then how should I lay this foundation without leaving any flaws?" Ye Xiaocheng asked piously.
"If we talk about flaws, you basically don't have them now, at least I can't see them. But that doesn't mean you've achieved perfection. Like I said, you still have too much potential that hasn't been tapped, so we have to do it. The purpose is not just to lay a good foundation, but to create an unprecedented foundation, a foundation that can successfully cultivate to become an immortal." Dao Jing said with a smile.
"Master, tell me, did the Great Emperor of the Void practice to the best of his ability in every step when he first practiced?" Ye Xiaocheng asked curiously.
"The Great Emperor of the Void is the disciple of the senior emperor I just mentioned. From the beginning, he paid great attention to his foundation and made every step very solid. However, when he became the Great Emperor, he found that he still had some Many regrets, these regrets are also caused by the foundation." Dao Jing sighed.
"How could it be? Since every step was taken very solidly and without any flaws, how could there be any regrets?" Ye Xiaocheng asked.
"It is precisely because there is no flaw that Emperor Void successfully became the Great Emperor and was not stuck in the quasi-emperor realm. According to the general belief in the cultivation world, Emperor Void's cultivation process can be described as perfect. However, he always thought that he still had regrets because He has not reached the first place in combat power among all the great emperors." Dao Jing said.
"Oh my god, you have to be the first in combat power among all the emperors to have no regrets?" Ye Xiaocheng was a little scared.
Speaking of which, what kind of existence is the Great Emperor?
Every great emperor is the supreme being in the world. He can rule a world for tens of thousands of years. All races bow his head and all spirits worship him. He is a god-like figure.
No, the emperor has transcended the category of living beings and is already a god living in the human world.
Master Dao Jing actually said that Emperor Void still has regrets because he did not come out on top among that group.
Ye Xiaocheng was stunned and speechless.
