Chapter 716: Metamorphosis
It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do.
The process of sharpening a cultivator's mind needs to start from the very beginning of qi refining, when the monk has just begun to come into contact with a powerful power that does not belong to human beings, and in order to harness such a power, he must overcome many demonic obstacles.
According to the most orthodox concept, the time when a monk attains the Great Dao is also the day when humanity is extinguished. But in fact, this did not happen suddenly at the moment of success, but slowly accumulated and realized over a long period of time. From the day of refining qi, the laws of nature will naturally breed demons in the hearts of human beings, and the monks can't resist the demons, so they die, which is not the way to step into the avenue of heaven and earth, as it should be. If you are lucky, it will be a success.
And once you succeed against the sky, and you destroy the inner demon once, you will destroy the inner demon once. Because as far as human nature is concerned, the seven emotions and six desires, the five grains and grains, are all obsessions, and the obsessions will be infinitely magnified in the hearts of monks who increasingly require a clear and clean heart, and the final withdrawal is also the inner demon.
Therefore, for cultivators, the ultimate in their cultivation is to preserve heavenly principles, destroy human desires, and strip away all things that belong to human nature.
Su Han didn't really understand these truths very well, and because he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse when he cultivated earlier, he rarely encountered the tempering of his inner demons in the years after his cultivation, so that when he reached such a strong strength, he was still an ordinary human being, which was contrary to the way of heaven. Su Han may not be aware of it now, but in the end, he is likely to suffer a very terrible backlash.
Because for the Heavenly Dao, the most important thing is to maintain balance. If human beings want to gain great power, they must give up their human nature, because human nature is uncontrollable, and great power and complete human nature cannot coexist. At the end of the day, if the ascetic loses his humanity, he or she has terrible power. This power is also like returning to heaven and earth.
This information was excavated by Su Han from the memories of several doppelgangers at this time, and seeing this, Su Han felt a little drumming in his heart.
If we lose our humanity, won't we be like earth and stones, and there will be no difference between relatives and enemies?
Su Han was still a little hesitant for a while.
He still has all his humanity and is therefore not in a position to make a decisive decision to abandon it, as even he knows very well.
Li Meiqing, Yincang Pavilion. So many people who have been with him all these years will eventually be regarded by him as grass and trees?
If he had known such a thing in the early years, Su Han would definitely not have any hesitation to choose human nature.
But now, what he is facing is already a more severe reality, if he doesn't give up his human nature, he may not live long, whether it is killed by Su Che, or because of the wrong path he took in the cultivation path and went mad.
But how do you get started?
This is also a difficult problem in front of Su Han. If you don't have demons, how can you sharpen your mind?
Su Han sat quietly for many days and came up with a way to create inner demons.
It's a bit hard, but it's a bit of a try. The Demon of the Heart. To put it simply, it's just the amplification of human nature, greed, hatred, love and hatred, and so on. Once amplified by the influence of power, it will lead to the cloudy side of the soul and turn into a demon.
He was first and foremost greedy for greed.
For a poor man. What he longs for is the wealth of the family. For a rich man, what he covets is the power of the world, and what he covets for an emperor may be the name of the history and the eternal life.
What is he Su Han greedy for? Su Han thought about it for a long time, and felt that it should be strength and the safety of his relatives.
He thought about this kind of greed, but after thinking about it for a long time, there were occasional distracting thoughts in his heart, but they all existed for a short time, and they naturally dissipated, unable to form thoughts, let alone turn into demons.
"This heart is as clean as a mirror, but it is the heart of a layman, but it is also a miracle. Su Han laughed to himself in his heart.
"But this time it's a tough one. ”
According to the memories of his previous life, Su Han tried many methods, and it was rare that some methods had some results, but they all had limited results.
Breaking through the shackles of human nature suddenly became one of Su Han's most troublesome problems.
He was far away in the depths of the savage world at this time, and he couldn't communicate with people at all, so he could only rely on himself to think about everything, but although he had gathered the souls and experiences of eight doppelgangers on his body, the way of thinking of these people was no different from Su Han after all. And their deities may have originally eliminated some human nature, but they couldn't resist Su Han's assimilation of a soul full of humanity that had never been carved before.
He went into retreat like this for many years, and in the end, because he thought too much, he instead bred a demon in his mind when his mind was chaotic, and this demon was extremely powerful, and he almost went mad by accident. In the face of such a demon, Su Han was not surprised, but began to mobilize all his strength to deal with this demon.
The demons in the heart do not come from power, but from the heart. Therefore, it is definitely not something that can be cracked by brute force, otherwise there is no need to sharpen the mind at all, and whoever is strong will be able to go straight to the avenue.
For the heart demon, Su Han actually has a very powerful magic weapon: Yuntian Fantasy Realm. Although the treasure of Yuntian Illusion Realm is not in his hands, as long as Su Han thinks about Yuntian Illusion, any evil demon and external way, including inner demons, must retreat, and Su Han is also very surprised by such a strong force.
But now that he is facing the demons in his heart, he no longer uses this great killing weapon, but relies entirely on his own mind to sharpen and kill. After some painful entanglement, he finally succeeded in repelling the demons, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that more than ten years had passed.
At this time, Su Han somewhat understood why in the past time, he could practice so fast every time, it turned out that the reason why others were slow must have spent a lot of time dealing with heart demons. He once read a book that said that after the golden pill, the demonic danger in the monk's heart was no less than that of the heavenly calamity. At that time, Su Han was still a little disdainful in his heart, thinking that it was talking about those who were not qualified.
Now he realized that the reason why he practiced fast was entirely because he had taken a wrong shortcut.
However, after this heart demon was subdued like this, it once again became a state without a doppelganger, which made Su Han a little helpless, although he deliberately let his mind be confused, and even his true qi was retrograde, but there was no trace of the heart demon.
However, in the process of overcoming the demons in the heart. Su Han thought of some ways again.
He wants to re-experience the process of growing from a weak person to a strong one.
This was not a whim of his, but an inspiration he had received from a previous life that had determined to keep him reincarnated. Now that I have reached this point, it is already very difficult to let my inner demon sharpen myself again, why not change the method?
As soon as he thought of it, Su Han immediately separated.
This time, he strictly controlled the power of the clones, and each clone was only a cultivation of the fifth layer of qi refining.
Six Su Han, who was at the fifth level of Qi refining, appeared in front of him, but his eyes were a little dull at this time.
Su Han thought about it, and threw the six balls of clear qi into their sea of knowledge. Then the thought moved, and this clear qi entered the minds of the six clones, and their eyes began to gradually brighten.
Before these six people regained consciousness, Su Han threw the six people into different worlds nearby and let them start their cultivation path.
The method he thought of was a bit unbelievable, but it was also Su Han's whim. He erased the memories of these clones, gave them a set of top-notch exercises at random, and then made up a memory for them. He left them in a world far away.
After that, these six doppelgangers will begin their own short but new lives, but their goal is the same, which is to practice with all their might.
During this period. Su Han will do some tricks to them, so that their cultivation speed will be accelerated, and they will soon be able to reach bottlenecks and levels, and then they will retreat and rush to the level.
Even so. It is also a very long process to achieve the goal, and in this process, there are three doppelgangers who marry wives and have children. There is a big devil who has become the righteous path of that world, if it weren't for Su Han's protection, he would have died I don't know how many times.
In a flash, ten years have passed.
During these ten years, Su Han would go deep into the depths of their sea of consciousness during each doppelganger's retreat, feeling the downpouring of the demons on them and the changes in their hearts and souls.
Since the six clones are in sync, Su Han's efficiency is very high, and in just ten years, he has already felt that he has undergone obvious changes, but this change is subtle and difficult to detect.
Ten years later, Su Han took back the clone, and after consolidating it for a year, adjusted the doppelganger's cultivation to the Jindan stage, and then continued the second round.
In this way, when he recovered the clones of the six god realms, Su Han had already undergone a large number of inner demons.
These tribulations are not only in the Buddha-figures, but also in the doppelgangers, and the mental demons they suffer are more obvious to the tempering of the mind. And after the return of these clones, those fully tempered clones returned to the souls of the deities, and they all turned into Su Han's realizations and gains.
On top of a meteorite outside the territory, Su Han sat cross-legged. He has been sitting here for 800 years since the day of his retreat.
Although it only takes ten years to refine qi at the beginning, the time required for the later Jindan Yuan Infant to transform into a god and body is getting longer and longer, and the less worldly life experience, the more difficult it is for high-level inner demons to be stimulated.
Eight hundred years, six doppelgangers, have experienced 4,800 years of bitterness and hardship, eliminating I don't know how many karmic obstacles that hinder the eyes.
Now, these are all in Su Han's heart, and he has a tenacious heart for the Tao.
Eight hundred years have passed in a flash, but at this time, Su Han's concern for everything in the human world has long been much smaller.
Of course, he hasn't abandoned his humanity, but at this time, he has weakened a lot of humanity. Those gains and losses, those greed, hatred, love and hatred, are all in the thousands of years of tempering, and he sees them more and more lightly.
Only by letting go can we survive.
The most painful thing in human beings is not the factors that are given to people by nature, but the emotions that are given to people by nature. For love and hatred, for power and money, the attachment to external objects has become the inner torment, and the appearance of these attachments is to make people sink into the sea of suffering from which it is difficult to extricate themselves.
For a while, Su Han would understand the ethics of Buddhism, but in fact, there was something in common with the transcendence of human nature in cultivation.
He stood up, the dust that had fallen on his body scattered, and then he disappeared.
When he reappeared, it was in front of Su Zhen.
It's been more than a hundred years since we last met, and for a monk, it's no different from yesterday.
Seeing Su Han, Su Zhen was slightly surprised, but he didn't have any other expression, and he didn't seem to be very worried.
"You're not worried?" asked Su Han.
"I know myself. Su Zhen said.
Su Han bowed slightly: "I'm here to thank you." ”
"Don't thank me, I'm just protecting myself. Su Zhen said, he immediately sighed, "At the moment, it seems that this kind of self-preservation will not last long." ”
Su Han asked, "How about the seniors look at me now?"
"It's not the same. Su Zhen said.
With the words of his predecessors, Su Han was relieved. With a slight smile on his face, Su Han turned around and left.
In fact, compared to the last time, Su Han has not improved much in terms of strength, relatively speaking, the biggest change is inside. But it was this invisible change that made Su Zhen give an incomparable evaluation.
Su Han once again began to look for the clone of his previous life.
He decisively split into six and searched in six directions.
This is also the first change that has occurred in him, after eliminating countless demons and sharpening his mind, most of the weak sides of human nature have been weakened.
For example, he was originally timid, but after discovering the truth about the doppelganger, he didn't dare to clone again. But now, he has the confidence to fully control these clones.
Six figures passed from country to country, and then, more clones from previous lives were discovered.
Once the past life clone is discovered, other people nearby will quickly rush there, and then they will besiege and kill the past life clone. Among them, there are still many clones who are powerful and have lived for millions of years, but in the face of the strangulation of Su Han, who is as imposing as the rising sun at this time, they have to retreat one by one, and they are killed by Su Han one by one, and their memories and part of their strength will be taken back by Su Han.
Su Han no longer looked ahead and backwards, and his efficiency in acting was greatly enhanced, and in just the next twenty years, Su Han retracted and devoured more than fifty clones from his previous life.
His strength has greatly increased, whether it is at the soul level or the rule level, the experience and wisdom brought by the fifty clones in his previous life, and the life experience of hundreds of millions of years, the benefits to Su Han are unimaginable.
He began a retreat that lasted for three hundred years, and it was at this time that he broke through and reached the realm of rest.
At the same time, the dense fog in the sea of knowledge, which was already getting thinner and thinner, finally gradually dissipated.
The Golden Book appeared.
