Chapter Seventy-Eight: Heart Seal Condensation
The formation of the heart seal is actually the product of the mind. The cultivator himself needs to condense the highly concentrated thoughts and endow these unconscious minds with a trace of "spirit", so that they can form a spiritual imprint, instead of drifting away without a purpose.
It sounds quite simple, but the flow of ideas is already ethereal, and I have never been exposed to this kind of cultivation before, so I have no clue for a while? I can't even manipulate my thoughts. Actually, he is not to blame. The mind is like water or air, and how easy is it to grasp the water with your hands and keep the air? Obviously, it takes some skill. And Xue Yi, who was just a beginner, wanted to figure out this kind of skill by himself, which was really not an easy task.
"It's okay, it's hard to get started. Xue Yi tried repeatedly to no avail, and couldn't help gritting his teeth and comforting himself.
According to the book, the first thing to do in the manipulation of the mind is to guide the mind. This is also easy to understand, just like saying that only if you can first achieve the drainage of water, can you achieve control of water.
After failing again and again, Xue Yi also began to reflect on his mistakes. Gradually, he calmed down his initial excitement. Yes, I was too excited at the beginning. And the most taboo thing in cultivation is impetuousness. This is true for combat power cultivation, and the same is true for heart seal cultivation.
After calming down his mood, Xue Yi gradually immersed himself in cultivation. The first thing to do is to empty your mind. No desire, no desire, no thought. It's as if I have turned into a wisp of thought in my mind, where I float without a purpose. Gradually, these entangled, boundless ideas began to evolve, forming a vast ocean. So, he became a drop in the sea again.
Only when you are in it can you feel the changes most personally. When I became a member of the sea of ideas, I deeply realized the wonder of ideas. That ** wave is actually the fluctuation of ideas. As long as you can experience the laws of these waves, you will be able to grasp the characteristics of the fluctuation of your mind.
Volatility comes from all directions. Xue Yi had no distracting thoughts, like an old monk in his mind, quietly feeling the change of his thoughts. Slowly, Xue Yi gradually found a little feeling. The fluctuations of these thoughts are not completely irregular, but follow some kind of law, moving in an unchanging cycle.
Mastering this law, Xue Yi gradually began to take the initiative. It is like a child moving the surface of the water with his hands, carefully guiding the actions of the person's mind. At first, Mind seemed to ignore him. And when Xue Yi gradually substituted the fluctuations of the thoughts themselves, these thoughts without independent consciousness began to react. A trace of thought wrapped around the wisp of consciousness under his control like a strand of hair, and then it snowballed, getting bigger and bigger.
As time passed, these intertwined thoughts began to form a small vortex. The whirlpool continued to rotate, absorbing the surrounding thoughts into it continuously, gradually leaving Xue Yi's control and beginning to rotate independently.
Xue Yi carefully removed his consciousness from the whirlpool, looking at the whirlpool slowly swirling in the sea of thoughts, Xue Yi knew that the most important and difficult step had arrived.
After the initial guidance, the mind has been formed, and the next step is to enter the process of sealing. This step is difficult, and if you make a mistake, you will lose all your efforts, the vortex will dissipate, and you will start all over again. In that case, there will be more delays.
"It must be a success!" Xue Yi gritted his teeth, condensed all the essence and spirit of his whole body, and put it in this small whirlpool. The complex and mysterious rune recorded in the Yanshi Secret Dictionary resurfaced in his mind, and Xue Yi mustered up his courage and began to slowly manipulate the formation of the heart seal.
Sweat began to seep out of Xue Yi's forehead. The combat power in the dantian involuntarily flowed into the meridians of the whole body, causing the whole body of the outside world to exude a faint glow. However, Xue Yi remained unmoved, slowly but firmly carrying out the steps of forming the heart seal.
Time passed minute by minute, and under Xue Yi's body, the sheets were already soaked with sweat. In the sea of thoughts in his mind, that small whirlpool had been transformed beyond recognition at the beginning, and the whole body was densely packed with lines, and these lines combined to form a wonderful rune. It's just that the runes at this time have not yet been formed, so they always seem to have a sense of imperfection, as if something is missing.
"The last step!"
Xue Yi's consciousness was highly concentrated, and he was shouting frantically in his heart. It's a matter of success or failure. This step is to put the finishing touch, connect the last line, activate the entire heart seal, and officially give it a trace of "spirit", so that it is no longer a dead thing, but truly has a trace of spirituality.
"Come on!" Xue Yi gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, stomped his feet, and drew the last stroke in this peerless painting.
"Hum-" A wonderful humming sound resounded in Xue Yi's mind. The sigil formed by the vortex of thoughts trembled violently after Xue Yi's last point, and golden light continued to shoot out from it.
"Failed?" Xue Yi was extremely worried in his heart.
Just when Xue Yi thought that he had failed, and a trace of disappointment had welled up in his eyes, there was a sudden shock in his entire mind, and immediately the light shone brightly, and a mysterious aura emanated from that talisman.
"It's a success!" Feeling this aura, a boulder in Xue Yi's heart finally landed, and he was immediately ecstatic. He knew he had succeeded!
I saw that the originally small sigil swelled up quickly after it was successfully activated, absorbing the surrounding thoughts into his body one by one. When its size increased to a certain extent, it finally quietly split apart from the middle with a soft sound.
"That's what it is...... Heart Seal?" The consciousness of Heart Seal stood in the sea of his thoughts, and his heart was shocked to look at the golden seal in front of him with a hint of reddish sigil. Each sigil is different, like a fingerprint, with fine and dense lines on it, but revealing a trace of indescribable beauty. It seems that these heart prints are not artificially created by him just now, but are naturally made, and they are the magic of nature.
Spirituality, emanating from the heart, reveals a joy of innocence and dirt. It was the joy of the new life, and it was also the joy of Xue Yi in front of them, just like Xue Yi's children.
Xue Yi knew that once a heart seal was condensed, it would last forever. Although the Heart Seals are consumed every time they burn the circle, it only consumes the energy of the Heart Seals, not their spirituality. The heart prints that have lost energy will recover on their own, and they can usually recover again in two or three days.
"It's really amazing, the Yanshi clan is worthy of being a race full of skilled craftsmen!" Xue Yi exclaimed from the bottom of his heart. Yes, even the heart prints condensed in their minds are like works of art, exquisite, and full of beauty, so how amazing should the "instrument" in their hands be?
"How many are there?" Xue Yi suddenly remembered this and hurriedly nodded one by one. It didn't matter, Xue Yi immediately stayed where he was, and a monstrous wave surged in his heart.
