Of course, if you have a high Taoist realm, you will naturally have many wonderful benefits, and it can also promote your cultivation.
But for cultivators in this world, what matters more is the depth of knowledge and Taoism that comes with deepening their understanding of the world.
The soul and mind are the tools for understanding the Tao realm. In other words, what real practitioners are diligently pursuing is to continuously strengthen and improve themselves to achieve a better state of understanding the Tao realm.
This is true for the Yuan Shen, and so is the Taoist Dharmakaya.
Other things in this process, such as the extension of life levels and lifespan, are just passing processes.
Jiang Sibai was not aware of these twists and turns at first, and even thought that seeking immortality meant seeking immortality because of the influence of the emperors who sought immortality in his previous life.
I was almost led astray by these guys who couldn't let go of their power in the world.
Now, after he had experienced it himself, he realized that what he was pursuing was the curiosity of the 'principles' in this world.
He has not yet cultivated his soul, and his spiritual thoughts are not strong enough, which leaves him without the tools to observe everything in the valley.
But he has his own method.
Just like what he did in the paddy field of Haomiao Water Pavilion, he began to peel off the cocoons to perceive the aura of a place, trying to find some patterns in the chaos.
He knew that laws must exist, because if there were no laws, then this valley would be completely chaotic.
In this entire valley, it is "mountain is not mountain, water is not water", but there must be something that makes it "mountain is still a mountain, water is still water"!
After Jiang Sibai understood this, he became excited. This valley is indeed a spiritual holy land. As long as he finds the right method, maybe he can directly understand the essence of all things?
At this time, Jiang Sibai didn't even bother to practice his own cultivation. He focused on understanding everything around him, trying to find that glimmer of reality among the myriad of things.
But this first attempt failed unsurprisingly.
He was not discouraged. When the time was up, he gave himself a dream and entered the nightmare.
He was preparing to return to reality quickly after falling into a dream, but just when he was about to return to the dream, a sudden inspiration came to him.
For him, nightmares are equivalent to possessing part of the soul. So is it possible to observe the reality around him in nightmares?
He did whatever he thought of, and the nightmare immediately revealed the scenes around him in reality.
Jiang Sibai's idea was correct. He really saw everything around him and the reality in this valley.
I saw the backflow of spiritual energy washing away everything in the valley like a storm, and when it hit the actual objects, shining spiritual light would burst out, dragging and blooming in the direction of the spiritual energy flow.
In other words, the aura mass that he saw and could sense was really a messy hallucination, and the corresponding actual things existed somewhere offset to one side of the aura mass.
Jiang Sibai saw the real existence behind the light and shadow of the spiritual energy. In fact, it was just an ordinary grass that had grown larger.
He quietly observed the nightmare for a while, memorizing everything around him, and then woke up from the dream experience.
Opening his eyes, he curiously looked at the group of light and shadow in front of him, and he vaguely saw the traces of spiritual energy that seemed to be dragged out from behind the light and shadow.
He reached out and passed through the spiritual light. As expected, it was just a chaotic spiritual energy with no real existence.
"Young man, it's too early for you to explore the secrets of this valley. Let's wait until you refine your energy and become a god."
Aunt Jianhui's words sounded, and she was obviously complaining that Jiang Sibai was doing useless work.
Jiang Sibai was not angry either, he just said calmly and gently: "This is what my uncle taught me, but as a new disciple, in this unfamiliar environment, you must first explore it first before you can calm down."
"Please, uncle, please forgive this disciple's curiosity."
Aunt Jianhui obviously didn't expect Jiang Sibai to give such an answer, but she seemed very transparent and comfortable.
"It's up to you." Shen Hui stopped talking.
If Shuzhenzi's bastard is really annoying, then Jiang Sibai's well-behaved and transparent appearance makes people like and curious.
Although Goddess Jianhui stopped talking, her attention was still on him, watching him stretch out his hand and groping bit by bit until he touched the pillar of weeds.
She smiled slightly, feeling a little happy for the child unconsciously.
She was very curious what would happen to Jiang Sibai after he found the actual weed?
However, Jiang Sibai's behavior at the next moment surprised her.
I saw this young disciple in white, regardless of the mess on the ground, lying directly on the muddy ground, carefully holding the weed with both hands, and his face was very close...
"What are you doing?"
Aunt Jianhui couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Sibai said: "I am observing the essence of this grass."
He did not hide his thoughts: "Everything in the world is composed of the energy of the five elements. Although the resurgence of spiritual energy here has caused a lot of chaos, since this grass exists, there must be deeper laws of the five elements here that are not affected by this spiritual tide. Influence."
Goddess Jianhui asked: "Then if you find this essence, will it bring you any benefits?"
Jiang Sibai said: "Benefit? If we encounter this situation again next time, does it count if we can directly discover the physical object?"
Jianhui Shengu said angrily: "What good is this? There is only one place in the world that has such a wonderful scene in the valley. Even if you have this ability, it will only be of use in the valley."
Jiang Sibai said: "But I just like this feeling of exploring the roots. Don't you think it is very interesting to let the secrets of the existence and operation of everything in the world unfold before your eyes?"
Sister Jianhui said speechlessly: "Can it help you improve your cultivation?"
Jiang Sibai shook his head: "I don't know."
Sister Jianhui asked again: "Then can it make you live longer?"
Jiang Sibai shook his head again: "Probably not."
Jianhui Shengu sighed and said, "Then what's the point of it?"
Jiang Sibai didn't answer. On the one hand, he didn't know how to answer, and on the other hand, he had a strange feeling: Summer insects cannot speak of ice!
Seeing that he didn't answer, Goddess Jianhui asked, "Do you know what three flowers are?"
Jiang Sibai thought that she might have stayed here for a long time and wanted to find someone to chat with, right?
He gathered some thoughts and replied: "Yes, it is the essence of essence, the essence of energy, and the essence of spirit. Uncle Shenhua told me about it."
Jianhui Shengu sighed and said, "Shenhua, did he ever tell you what the five qi are?"
Jiang Sibai frowned, but still said: "Uncle Shenhua has never talked about this, but my master, Taoist Mo Shang, has said that the five qi are: the heart stores the spirit, which is the fire energy of the south; the liver stores the soul, which is the wood energy of the east; the spleen stores the wood energy of the east The meaning is the earthy air in the center; the lungs store the soul, which is the gold air of the west; the kidneys store the essence, which is the water air of the north."
Aunt Jianhui shook her head and said, "It's just an endorsement. It doesn't mean you know it, let alone have an opinion."
Jiang Sibai wanted to argue, but there was no need to think about it, so he just obeyed.
Jianhui Shengu shook her head and sighed: "Empty for sorrow, empty for joy, empty for desire, empty for anger, empty for joy... How can we do this?"
Jiang Sibai was sure that he didn't need to answer any of this, so he quietly and carefully searched for his own Taoist realm, but he was fine.
Until the next day, when Master Shenhua made an appointment to preach.
