Chapter 50: Reflections on Nature
Now the sun has not come out here, but the high snow-capped mountains in the west have already seen the sunrise. The sun shone on the ice cap of the snow-capped mountain, like a white cloud floating in mid-air. The blue-black mountain beneath the ice cap blended perfectly with the blue-black sky just before sunrise, creating a beautiful view in front of him.
The beauty lasted only a few minutes, and the sun appeared on the horizon, the sky brightened, and the distant snow-capped ice cap was no longer conspicuous, and it would have been difficult to detect its presence if it had not just seen its location.
Tian Xu let out a long breath and stood up. The truth that he couldn't think about in the morning appeared clearly in his mind: nature is like this snow-capped mountain, the sun can't come out, it's all there. Whether you can see it or not, it's there, and it doesn't care if you're looking at it, if you're seeing it.
It can be assumed that when he sees this snow-capped mountain, he sees a corner of nature. Compared to ordinary people, cultivators have the ability to control Reiki and communicate with nature more easily.
Tian Xu is now in the Qi Gathering Realm, and he can gather aura, control aura, and accomplish many things that are unimaginable to ordinary people, such as manipulating some objects in the air, such as more powerful perception and strength. Relying on these, he can easily move around this world-famous no-man's land, which is impassable for ordinary people, and the high altitude has little effect on him.
However, he understood that almost all of his abilities were achieved by possessing and mastering a part of the aura, as if extending the power.
And there are many abilities that the Ning Dan has that he can't understand, such as Aunt Xu's Prajna Mantra, such as the Heart Purification Mantra left to him by his mother, such as Aunt Zhou's attack with spiritual power, and such as the magic spell used by Zi Wuji when he attacked him. These abilities are not forcibly exercised through one's own aura at all, but are a category of another level. This is also the fundamental reason why there is an insurmountable gap between the Ning Dan Realm and the Qi Gathering Realm.
He himself had crossed the ranks and injured Ling Tianlei of the Tiger Gate and Ouyang Jie of the Kunlun Sect one after another, but he understood that this was the result of a series of conspiracies and tricks he used. If there is a face-to-face face-to-face dignified fight, more than a dozen Qi Gathering Realm masters like himself will also be crushed.
It's not that the aura gathered in the Ning Dan Realm is one or several orders of magnitude more than that in the Qi Gathering Realm, but the concept of battle is completely different.
This is the difference in the realm of thought.
After watching or participating in the battle of the Ning Dan Realm several times, Tian Xu obviously felt that the battle of the Ning Dan Realm was more like a spell, and the battle of the Qi Gathering Realm seemed to be still at the level of fighting with brute force, which was not at all a problem that could be solved by exercising more strength or gathering more aura.
Condensing Pill Realm cultivators seem to have found a trick to mobilize the power of the surrounding natural world for their own use through a relatively low-effort method, so when facing Qi Gathering Realm cultivators, they can be invincible.
"However, since nature does its own thing, ignoring the existence of human beings, can its power be mobilized?" Tian Xu wondered, this was in essential conflict with the concept of nature that he had just understood.
Tian Xu paced back and forth in annoyance, thinking hard. He seemed to touch the edge of a larger, more magical world, but he couldn't get in. I couldn't cross this tall threshold for a while, but I was reluctant to give up the opportunity to enter this magical palace.
In the midst of this clash and entanglement of ideas, the sun rises above the horizon in the east, and then sets in the west, and darkness covers the earth. The night passed, the sun rose again, and the day passed quietly.
A pair of snow wolves had apparently taken an interest in him, and had been roaming around him from far and near for the rest of the day, probably waiting for him to fall before coming up to enjoy the meal. He didn't bother to pay attention to them, letting them come near or move away.
However, he did not let his guard down, his eyes during the day and his olfactory imaging at night were always on guard against their surprise attacks. However, the two wolves seemed to be able to sense his strength, and did not dare to provoke him easily, and finally, after observing him for a day and a night, gave up the luxury of eating him, and turned away.
After the two wolves left, Tian Xu suddenly thought of the key to the problem that had plagued him for a day: when the wolves were circling around me, I was mainly alerting them with my vision during the day and my sense of smell at night. Not only that, but even during the day, when the wolves turn to me, I mainly observe them visually, and when the wolves turn behind me, I mainly observe them with my sense of smell, and it also naturally switches. Isn't this kind of transformation just changing myself to adapt to the natural environment? Nature doesn't change because of me, but I can change myself according to the difference in the surrounding environment. If you can feel nature more delicately and adjust your coping style in time, you can give yourself the greatest help. I can't mobilize the forces of nature to fight, but I can fight with the help of nature.
As long as I can feel nature better and become one with nature, I will be able to use the power of nature to serve myself perfectly.
For example, in the simplest wind, I can extend my olfactory imaging distance with the help of the headwind, or I can speed up the action with the help of the tailwind, isn't this with the help of the power of nature? I can't change the direction of the natural wind, but I can better understand the wind, fit with the properties of the wind, and do things with it.
The more perfect the fit with nature, the greater the power that can be borrowed.
"So what is the first thing I need to understand?" Tian Xu asked himself. It is certainly impossible for him to comprehend all the laws of nature in a short period of time, but he can't grasp his hair and eyebrows, he must always think from a small point and have a sequence.
"Air, wind and rain, land, day and night, four seasons, grass and trees, water and fire?......" There are so many things that need to be paid attention to, and there is no clue at all.
In addition, he has no clue how to understand this natural truth. However, he knew that this would certainly not happen overnight, and there was no need to rush it.
It took another two days, but Tian Xu still hadn't found the direction behind him, and all kinds of thoughts in his heart had almost disappeared.
At noon that day, Tian Xu, who was a little irritable by the sun, ran his aura, and he jumped back several times in a row with his back to the lake, and finally jumped up, his body turned over in the air, and plunged into the lake, swimming beautifully for a while, and finally returned to the lake where he was thinking a few days ago, and jumped ashore.
He didn't eat for three days in a row, and he was hungry.
After going ashore, Tian Xu found that for more than three days, he had been wandering around the lake with his bare buttocks, forgetting to eat and sleep.
Hurriedly putting the pot on the shelf and cooking the meal, he recalled the process of swimming in the water just now, as if something important had flashed through his mind, and when he tried to see clearly, he only left a vague shadow, and he couldn't remember anything.
With a frustrated wave of his hand, he jumped into the lake again. When his body was in the air, he suddenly recalled what he had just thought of, it was aura!
The first thing he had to figure out in nature was Reiki!
This aura exists in all corners of the natural world, and it is unevenly distributed everywhere, more or less. Different animals and plants have different abilities to gather aura, and there are some inanimate substances that can also gather aura.
No matter what animals and plants, there are some outliers who have the ability to gather aura far beyond their peers, such as cultivators in human beings, or elixirs in various medicines.
Reiki can give various animals and plants special abilities that are different from their ordinary counterparts.
The aura cannot be seen or touched, it clearly exists but cannot be figured out, and its nature is very special.
The collection and use of aura is the fundamental source of a cultivator's special abilities. So what is Reiki, what are its characteristics, how to maximize the efficiency of using Reiki, and as a cultivator who relies on Reiki for its existence, shouldn't you be the first to figure it out?
Tian Xu patted his face and said to himself: "Tian Xu, what Yin Yang Ding said is really right, you are a fool." It's such an obvious question, you spent two days and two nights not thinking it out, what is it that is not stupid?"
After figuring out what he had to understand first, Tian Xu had a big heart and swam around in the lake. Suddenly, the stomach that had been silent for a long time "gurgling" protested again. He continued to accumulate momentum in the water and rushed towards the shore. As he approached the shore, he slammed out of the water with his feet and leaped high into the air, a water sword spurting out of his mouth, laughing.
