Volume 1 Beginning to Cultivate Immortals Chapter 23 What is Cultivation?
The silvery moonlight sprinkled on the ground, the chirping of crickets all around, and the fragrance of flowers in the night air made it particularly charming on this unusual night.
Bai Chen was in his cabin, leaning against the screen window on his back to the stars outside, looking at the starlight in the sky for a long time, and in the middle of the night Bai Chen slowly stood up from the screen window and walked outside to feel the air outside.
A breeze blew, and it didn't feel too cold in the middle of the night, and the face that blew towards Bai Chen looked very gloomy, and the moonlight also stretched his shadow very long.
"What is cultivation?" Bai Chen Nannan asked himself, after losing the competition today, Bai Chen had been thinking about what the housekeeper said, and lay on the ground for a long time, until the sun set and the sun slowly set, he slowly stood up, his eyes were blank, and he didn't even know how to come back.
Today's contest can be said to be too big a blow to Bai Chen, how could he never have imagined that he would lose to an eight-year-old half-step cultivator, it can be said that today's events have completely subverted his understanding of cultivation.
It turned out that he always thought that the higher the realm, the stronger the strength, but he doesn't see it that way now, even if you really have a high realm, it doesn't necessarily mean that the strength is strong, just like today, you obviously have a realm of suppression and lose in the end.
"Why?" Bai Chen's heart was very flustered, was he not suitable for cultivation? Otherwise, he couldn't even beat a child.
The real Qi cultivation layer has been lost, even if he can use the power beyond the first layer Bai Chen will not do this, even if the conditions allow the Dao Heart will not allow it, if you do that, you don't want to be an immortal cultivator, it is simply better to be an ordinary person.
"With your own strengths, attack the enemy's shortcomings. Bai Chen remembered what the butler said before leaving, yes! Thinking back to the time when Bujing fought with himself today, the other party almost didn't fight with me, knowing that if he was tough, he didn't have aura and was not my opponent.
And they are all to avoid my frontal attack, so as to attack to the side, thinking of a few days of fighting Bai Chen was a little self-deprecating, and he knew that luck was cultivated to rush forward, and Bai Chen didn't understand such a skill, he just wanted to defeat the other party like a reckless man.
I didn't use my mind to analyze the battle, and the opponent's mind was vivid, and in the end, I seized an opportunity to defeat myself with a backhand, and if I met such an opponent in a life-and-death struggle, I might have died.
Thinking of this, Bai Chen felt that he couldn't go on like this, although the space exercises he learned were very against the sky, he couldn't blindly relax, just like dealing with the Zhao family in Yougu Mountain.
I feel that with the strength of the star spirit state, and the support of infinite spiritual power, I don't think I will lose, although I win, but it is very difficult, isn't it the star sword? Once I don't use the power of the star sword, I am nothing, and I can't even beat a child.
It is estimated that a monk can kill himself, and he only has his current strength by relying on the Star Sword.
If he had known his own strengths and weaknesses in attacking the enemy in Yougu Mountain, it was estimated that he would be able to easily kill that foundation building monk as Xiao Xing said, and what he is best at now is nothing more than the two kinds of intermittent concealment techniques and void gates.
And when fighting the man in black, these two kinds were almost not used much, but they used magical powers that they couldn't master at all now, and they were also very shy to use and couldn't use any power at all.
And at that time, because of the skyrocketing strength and swelling, I forgot about the two supernatural powers that I was best at, and I didn't think that if I had been using these two supernatural powers, the foundation building monk would have died faster and more easily.
I thought that with the power of the Xingchen Sword in my body, I would not die, but now Bai Chen knows that his idea is wrong, and I will die in a strong force, even if I am given a supernatural power that is more powerful than the Xingchen Sword, if I face the enemy with the original mentality, I will still die sooner or later.
Could it be that the Star Sword is invincible? No, it's just that I haven't encountered a stronger existence than it, so I think it's very powerful.
As strong as the Star Sword, it was not originally turned into five fragments and scattered on this land, and I still felt that there would be nothing to do with it.
Bai Chen felt that his understanding of strength was too undeserved, and Bai Chen was still a little grateful to the little brother named Bu Jing, if it weren't for him, he would still be intoxicated with this range.
It was he who knocked me out of that range, and from then on made me realize that my previous thinking was wrong and stupid.
The state of the Star Sword that Bai Chen felt in his heart, it was floating quietly, guarding his heart.
"Maybe it's better not to get you!" Bai Chen looked at Xingchen Sword and smiled bitterly.
What is the Tao of Cultivation? Bai Chen kept asking himself in his heart, is it not said that he is not cultivating the Tao now?
Bai Chen thought about it carefully, it shouldn't be, he just cultivated, he didn't have a Dao, and he didn't have a clear end goal.
Why did you want to cultivate the Tao in the first place? I just thought about it purely because I was very envious of others cultivating immortals, but I didn't know that this path was not easy to follow.
How to go after stepping on this road, Bai Chen only felt that the road ahead was foggy, he couldn't see anything, and he was confused.
"Have you figured it out?" Steward Ling suddenly appeared behind Bai Chen and said.
Bai Chen turned his body and saw that Steward Ling didn't pay a visit, just talked and said, "I don't know." ”
"I don't know. Steward Ling smiled slightly: "When I was your age, I didn't know how I should go." ”
"It wasn't until something happened that I didn't know how my path was supposed to be, and I've persevered until now. The butler's expression showed a slight sense of sadness, as if he had thought of something from the past.
Bai Chen looked at the butler and felt his sadness, and did not speak but listened quietly.
"A monk doesn't need a specific way to find it, because no one will know what will happen tomorrow, just like mortals, no one knows when they will die, as long as you follow your heart every day, you will definitely find a way to cultivate, that way may not be suitable for you, or you may not be interested in this way, it is not easy to cultivate, if you go on this path, most of you still can't help yourself, as long as you follow your heart. Steward Ling's voice was exceptionally clear in this dark night, and every word reached Bai Chen's ears.
"Just go with your heart. This sentence exploded in Bai Chen's mind like a thunderbolt, yes, although he lost today, it doesn't mean that he will lose in the future, and although the monk's path is difficult, he can't help himself, just like low-cost children, they are working hard every day to improve their realm.
Constantly trying to get resources exists in such a way that they may not want to, but they do it every day.
And the children of rich families may not have to work as hard as them, don't they have any unhappiness in their hearts, they are infinite in the eyes of ordinary people, but their efforts may be countless times that of ordinary people in exchange for the scenery in the eyes of others.
They have been doing this every day and have never given up.
The path is to be explored by oneself, not to learn from the path taken by others, perhaps the path traveled is the same as that of some people but different in nature.
After losing today's fight Bai Chen was very confused and felt that he was not suitable to take this path and even had thoughts about his future when he heard the words of the housekeeper.
Bai Chen felt a sense of sudden enlightenment in his heart, and felt a direction, and most of the fog on the road dissipated, although he still couldn't see the end, there was already a way forward under his feet.
I believe that as long as I continue to work hard to explore forward, I will definitely walk out of my own path and cultivate my own truth.
"I see. Bai Chen cheered happily, and his previous mood was swept away with Bai Chen's cheers.
When Steward Ling heard Bai Chen say this, his face showed a relieved expression: "It's good to understand." After speaking, Steward Ling slowly disappeared from Bai Chen's field of vision, leaving Qingyan to talk about.
Bai Chen saw that his eyes were condensed, it seemed that this Steward Ling was a profound cultivator, but he didn't think much about it, and bowed deeply in the direction where the butler disappeared.
He took a long breath and returned to the hut with a happy mood, at this time, Bai Chen's eyebrows flashed, and Xiao Xing appeared from it and looked around, it seemed that he had just woken up.
"I said that the place where you live is too shabby, what can you do if you are so big?" Xiaoxing said with a disgusted face after he came out.
"As long as you can stay, you can come down for me. Bai Chen was in a good mood, but when he heard this, his nose suddenly burst out, and he grabbed Xiaoxing in his hand with one hand and pinched it.
Not to mention, it feels pretty good when you pinch it, and Bai Chen pinched it even harder.
"Let go, isn't your house quite good?" Xiao Xing struggled to get rid of Bai Chen's clutches, and rubbed his little face in mid-air without listening.
"You won't be light! What if you pinch my face out of shape. Xiao Xing was obviously pinched, and glared at Bai Chen in mid-air and said angrily: "I have a handsome robe face." ”
I see you like a bun face! Bai Chen rolled his eyes inwardly, what the hell is a robe?
"By the way, what are you going to do? If you get discovered, you're in trouble. Bai Chen asked.
"I came out to breathe in the air, to look at this beautiful starry sky, and then," Xiaoxing said, "Then what am I going to do? Anyway, it should be a very important thing, why did I forget it." ”
Xiaoxing couldn't think about it anymore.
"You're such a fool! you're so good at forgetting important things. Bai Chen gave a thumbs up and laughed, and suddenly seemed to think of something and said to Xiaoxing: "You wait and think about it, first see what I have in the ring that Ji Jiashun came out." ”
Bai Chen remembered that there was also a storage ring on his body, and last time he secretly used the method of space in the Ji family to transfer the ring given to Zhao Haosha by the young master of the Ji family to his own hands.
I forgot about it because I was in a hurry, and I remembered that I still had such a thing in my hand.
"That's right!" Xiao Xing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he also remembered this matter, and looked at Bai Chen curiously and asked him to take out the ring.
Bai Chen touched his body and took out a yellow ring with the shape of a dragon engraved on it.
Hearing Xiang Ming say that it seems that the storage magic weapon can be opened with a sweep of the divine sense without a prohibition, looking at the appearance of the young master of the Ji family directly to Zhao Haosha that day, it is estimated that there can be no prohibition.
Bai Chen swept his consciousness directly after thinking about it, he didn't know if he didn't sweep, and Bai Chen gasped, it really blinded my eyes!
