appeared in "Kaiyuan Daozang" that year, and Lu Beichen was deeply impressed by it. And that night, when he mustered up the courage to build the foundation, Lu Beichen also remembered this sentence.

Since entering the Holy Capital, he has asked what the Tao is and whether it is really important to cultivate the Tao. But every time he thinks of this question, Lu Beichen naturally thinks of this sentence.

His deepest understanding of the Tao comes from the Master's mantra - reading and practicing, cultivating the mind, which is the meaning of cultivating the Tao in the heart.

And his first understanding of the Tao was actually this sentence.

The Tao is ethereal and indescribable. The true avenue is never unspeakable.

So how can everything in the world not be like this? Those things that cannot be explained clearly in a few words are actually not clear in many days and three nights.

Lu Beichen shook his head and glanced at the red lion lying on the ground.

The red lion didn't make any special movements, just lying on the ground obediently, with big eyes and no focus.

Lu Beichen smiled slightly, and then his gaze returned to the book.

"Nothing, the beginning of heaven and earth, and yes, the mother of all things. Constant desire, to observe its eyes, constant desire, to observe its position. ”

"Heaven and earth open at the beginning and become natural. Only when there is nothing in heaven and earth can there be all things. Only the existence of all things can sustain heaven and earth. ”

Lu Beichen read it softly, and then he felt it, "No wonder I can't say that if I read the book a hundred times, I will see its righteousness." When I was a child, how could I not sum up such a truth? The way of all things is so broad and profound, and the answers to questions that I have never been able to understand before are so refined. ”

The heart of exploring the avenue has been burned, the sound of reading continues, and the bursting thoughts are still in the process of being formed.

"The world knows that beauty is beauty, and evil is evil. We all know that what is good is good, and what is not good is good. ”

"There is no symbiosis, difficulty and ease are mutually compatible, long and short are dwarfed, high and low are mutually beneficial, sound and sound are harmonious, and the front and back are followed. Heng also. ”

"It is to do nothing for the saints, to teach without words, to do all things and to begin, to be born, to be born, to be successful, and to accomplish but not to live." ”

There is so much wisdom in each chapter and every short sentence.

Lu Beichen continued to read, and couldn't help but feel physically and mentally happy, "The predecessors all said that cultivation is the improvement of strength and the refinement of spirit, and the two affect each other, and it seems that this is indeed the case. ”

In the dead of night, a faint light and a thick pile of books seemed to announce an ambition.

The first level of the national examination is the literary examination.

Although the proportion of the literary test score is not high, this also determines whether you can enter the martial arts test to a certain extent.

According to the requirements of the syllabus, the scope of the examination is mainly to practice common sense, and occasionally there are some deviations. The key questions will focus on how the human race completes the cultivation path, and sometimes they will turn around and examine the cultivation of other races, and at the same time, they will also examine the kendo, magic weapons, fist techniques, bows and arrows, pills, etc.

If you can't even comprehend these things, and you can't even get sixty percent of the scores, then the examiner won't pay attention to you because you are not paying attention or because of other reasons, and will always think that you have no chance to do the road, and uniformly brush off the qualifications for the martial arts examination - if you don't understand common sense, how can you be expected to go far on this road?

In short, the significance of the literary examination is not to select the reading elite, but to screen out those students who have no chance.

Therefore, in order to enter the national examination and get the opportunity to face the saint, the most important thing now is to read books and have a comprehensive understanding of the content of the literary examination.

The second is to break through the initial realization as soon as possible, and breaking through the initial realization is a two-way action, not only to move forward in the power world, but also to have corresponding insights in the spiritual world.

Lu Beichen was not too worried about the literary exam, about two or three days was enough for him to read and remember all the core test points and key points, so he decided to watch it directly two or three days before the exam.

Before that, he had to focus on breaking through the first realization—reading books to increase his spiritual insight and understanding of the Heavenly Dao, and also to follow the right steps in the world of power.

Before breaking through to the first enlightenment, it is important to understand the concept of the so-called first enlightenment – the breakthrough of the first enlightenment means the beginning of the practitioner's learning to use the forces of nature.

The blue sky is vast, the earth is vast, the sun and the moon are bright, the thunder and lightning are swift, the wind and rain are mighty, the rivers and seas are turbulent, the mountains are majestic, and the rocks are solid.

People were born in heaven and earth and have an innate sense of worship for nature, perhaps because of this innate sense of worship, so that at a certain point in time over the years, the human race began to pay attention to nature and began to learn to use the power of nature to practice.

The world of cultivation has developed for many years, and the experience and lessons of countless predecessors have been accumulated under the precipitation of time. Some of them make good use of the heat of the sun, some of them make good use of the cold of the moon, some of the fire of lava, and some of the snow of glaciers, so that they build different lotus seeds, practice different exercises, develop different temperaments, and thus unconsciously divide into different factions.

This is the development of the spiritual world.

In fact, it is also the growth trajectory of the creatures of heaven and earth in this world.

There are more than 1,000 books on the first enlightenment in the library, and there are so many spiritual knowledge involved in them that people are overwhelmed to read.

Lu Beichen took a slight look, it was easy to remember those complex concepts, and it only took half an hour to summarize the books he had read.

On the surface, the things mentioned in the book may seem different, but in fact there are many ideas that coincide with each other.

It took him half an hour to make a series of arrangements, and he came up with the key to the cultivation of the first enlightenment - "condense the soul thoughts, attract the aura of heaven and earth, and turn it into his own strength." ”

In just three sentences, it means three processes of breaking through the initial realm of enlightenment.

The result of building the foundation is to build a spiritual lotus, open the door to cultivation with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and condense a weak spiritual power in the inner world.

It stands to reason that the beginning of the first enlightenment is to start with the spirit lotus, but because the human race is far inferior to the demon race and the spirit race in terms of spirit, no matter how much spiritual energy can be transformed into majestic power, it can only exist with weak spiritual power.

In other words, the first appearance of the spiritual lotus means that the human body has only accumulated spiritual power.

However, spiritual power can only play a negligible role in the world of power, and the power that really determines the combat value is soul power.

Therefore, the human race has to work much more difficult than any other race in cultivation, and when breaking through the initial enlightenment, it is necessary to condense the soul thoughts, and use the soul thoughts to absorb the spiritual energy and precipitate the soul power, so as to truly use the power of nature for their own use.

The so-called use of the power of nature to practice is actually using the breath as a carrier, and receiving it through induction and communication.

People are born in heaven and earth, and nature is also connected to all things. The so-called induction is the process of feeling the breath of all things and giving back the breath, which can be said to be a communication process.

In fact, this process has already started from the time when the foundation was built, but at that time, it was still a shallow level of sensing and communication, and the cultivators had not yet been able to truly use the power of heaven and earth for their own use.

If you need to really use it for yourself, you need another carrier.

The soul is the vehicle for this.

(I have to say that some things are difficult to be strict, and I feel that the writing skills need to be strengthened.) ）
