Chapter Seventy-Two: Cultivating the Mind
What is a practice?
Worldly practice, strictly speaking, is the exercise of an individual's qi, body, mind, and spirit.
And all the methods of cultivation are nothing but different paths and summaries that have been explored by predecessors, and these paths seem to be very different or antagonistic to each other. In essence, they are just different in their tendencies, and there are not many differences in essence, they all stem from the search for the world and the truth. Of course, this essence can only be touched by those who are extremely profound, and the vast majority of cultivators like Yuan Qingwei are still constantly figuring out in their qi, body, mind, and spirit.
At this point, Yuan Qingwei, who has the inheritance of the three worlds, has deep feelings.
Most of the cultivation methods in the main world are based on the foundation of the spirit realm, while the cultivation methods of the martial arts world are almost based on themselves, while the cultivation methods of the immortal world are based on vitality.
One of the most complete is the cultivation system of the Overworld.
The plasticity of the spiritual energy that is completely unknown to the origin is very high, whether it is the immortal god system under the Eastern Jiuzhou Enchantment, the belief divine system under the Western Glorious Faith, or the ancient magic shaman system, or Yuan Qingwei has only heard of it, but has not really come into contact with the scientific and technological ability system created by a certain federation.
These systems are based on the spiritual realm, but they are very different from each other.
In comparison, the difference between the cultivation system of the martial arts world and the cultivation system of the immortal world is not so big.
Although the two are very different from each other at the beginning of their practice.
The path of the martial arts world is essentially a battle of conquest, and the true qi, energy, artistic conception and other purposes cultivated are more or less with a little meaning of fighting, so the more the path of the martial arts world goes to the back, the more the true qi of cultivation will carry a strong imprint of personal will.
The main purpose of the path of the immortal world is to live forever, to be happy with life and tired of death, and the ability to cultivate is usually lively, without a strong personal will imprint, and it is more suitable for blending with the vitality of heaven and earth.
However, the paths of the two follow the system of refining and refining qi, refining qi and transforming gods, and refining gods to return to emptiness, and from the perspective of the core concept of cultivation, there is not much difference.
Of course, all these theories and judgments are just Yuan Qingwei's personal perceptions, and they only represent Yuan Qingwei's exploration of the martial arts world cultivation system and the immortal world cultivation system. If you add the immortal god system and the martial artist system of the main world, it will become even more complicated.
At the same time, according to Yuan Qingwei's observation, no matter which system it is, it is more or less involved in the cultivation of the soul.
At this point, the farthest is the world of immortals, because there is a saying that there is a Dao heart.
The so-called heart of the Tao is the heart of seeking the Tao, the heart of immortality, and the heart of immortality.
The immortal road to immortality is long, and it is a long cycle through the ages.
The most taboo thing in the cultivation of the Immortal Dao is death, and the death in the center is regarded as the biggest calamity in the cultivation process, and it is in the inheritance left by the Daoist people. I don't know how many people who have attained cultivation after tomorrow, because they can't withstand the erosion of the long years, they have the only way to heaven, and finally they are still on the road to self-extinction.
Therefore, in the world of immortals, many monks who have attained spiritual cultivation are very fond of traveling to the world, in order to perceive humanity, borrow people's hearts, condense their hearts, and understand their heavenly hearts, and use this as a basis to allow themselves to exist for a long time.
Of course, there are thousands of faces, thousands of paths and thousands of hearts, and everyone's Dao heart is different, there is no good or evil right or wrong, it only depends on whether you can be persistent.
In this regard, a Confucian point of view is very suitable to be explained: in terms of the form and qi, it is called the human heart; For those who are righteous and reasonable, it is called the heart of the Tao; People's hearts are easy to be selfish and difficult to publicize, so they are dangerous; The heart of the Tao is difficult to understand and easy to understand, so it is subtle. It is based on people's hearts and hearts, and the Tao is only small; But the essence is the only one, and it is allowed to be stubborn.
And Yuan Qingwei's Dao heart is actually very simple, that is, to live.
The spiritual realm of the main world has ensured the high-level environment of the world, but it has also created many tragedies.
After facing the death of his teacher, Yuan Qingwei, who had a mutation in his body, will never forget his panic at that time, and the fear of brushing shoulders with death again.
This made Yuan Qingwei have a very strong rejection of death, and he was extremely eager to survive after reliving his life.
This kind of extreme survival thinking, although very suitable for immortal path cultivation, is also the most prone to error.
After all, although the Dao mind originates from attachment, it cannot be limited by attachment, and needs to be detached from it, as if it is too forgetful, and attachment and non-attachment lie in oneself, not in the goal.
But Yuan Qingwei's fear of death and desire for life have affected Yuan Qingwei's thoughts, and his situation is not like sharpening his Dao heart with the changes of the world, but like changing himself in order to cater to the Dao heart.
Therefore, he would show relative humility when facing Zhan Siyuan, and when he was in the immortal world, he also tried to be stable, and even after he was able to leave the main world, he spent a lot of time exploring the rest of the world, as well as strengthening the Qingwei incarnation.
These actions actually show that Yuan Qingwei has less momentum than a normal cultivator. He wants to bring all the changes under his control, or rather, he is afraid of the unknown, the harm that the unknown may bring, and even death.
And this battle with Wang Shouzheng had a great impact on Yuan Qingwei, and the sharpening of his moves and martial arts will was secondary, and the spiritual fragments left by Wang Shouzheng had the greatest impact on him.
Compared with everything Wang Shouzheng did to seek the Tao, Yuan Qingwei's heart was obviously much more immature. So much so that in the face of the Dao Heart concept contained in Wang Shouzheng's residual spiritual fragments, Yuan Qingwei's Dao Heart was constantly affected, and countless insights flowed through his heart, making him have subtle changes in his Dao Heart and a new understanding of the future.
Although the foundation of the Dao Heart is still based on movable type, how can it live? How to live? But there has been a sea change.
The change in the Dao heart also led to the change of Yuan Qingwei's mind and the change of mana, and he felt that the mana in his body had become extraordinarily active, and there was a little more mysterious and mysterious wonderful aura in it. The mana looks like a newborn baby, full of vigorous vitality, and like a clear spring gurgling stream, clear and pure, washing away some distracting thoughts left by the spiritual infection in the body.
As soon as the mind moves, the mana in the body runs at will, whether it is the casting of spells or the cultivation of oneself, there has been a lot of progress.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yuan Qingwei, with the help of Qingwei's incarnation, carried out a retreat for half a year, perfectly controlled the changed mana, and after sharpening it to a peak again, it was to return to the main world and begin to deal with new challenges.
