What can be achieved by sitting on a rock by the sea and enlightening?
Zhuang Jiutian is a young monk at the level of the Reunal Sea Secret Realm - The Other Side. According to the principles here, his cultivation level is not yet at the level where enlightenment is needed to improve his cultivation level.
Enlightenment is a cultivation vocabulary that can only be used by monks who have the Four Extremes Secret Realm and above.
Logically speaking, in the Secret Realm of Wheel and Sea and the Secret Realm of Dao Palace, as long as the resources are sufficient, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome. Unlike the Secret Realm of the Four Pole, progress can only be made after understanding the corresponding laws and principles.
But Zhuang Jiutian was able to sense the existence of Tao everywhere in the world.
It is as if he is the incarnation of all things, the descendant of heaven and earth. As long as he wants, he can begin to realize the Tao anytime and anywhere.
Since coming to Ziwei Ancient Star, except for Elder Song from Luoxia Palace, Zhuang Jiutian has not discussed mysteries or passages with the monks here.
Although there is a saying in the "Tao Te Ching" that "man follows the earth, earth follows heaven, heaven follows Tao, and Tao follows nature," it is far from enough for practitioners to rely solely on retreat to enlightenment.
After all, no matter how high a person's wisdom is, it will eventually have its limit. Only by confirming each other with different fellow Taoists and discussing the Tao with each other can we discover the flaws and flaws in the Tao we have understood.
Zhuang Jiutian rashly reminded An Ran, the saint of Poseidon Island, that he had no intention of forming a good relationship with her.
If this good relationship can bear fruit and allow him to join Poseidon Island later, it will be of great benefit to his practice.
Cultivation is not just as simple as inhaling the essence of heaven and earth to improve your magic power.
Previously in the Luoxia Palace, he had experienced "anger tempering the heart, karma tempering the body", which shows how much help joining a force can bring to a monk.
Afterwards, Zhuang Jiutian did not bear any grudge against the elders of Luoxia Palace, nor did he intend to take the initiative to cause trouble for them in the future.
Although the other party acted a little domineeringly, he finally made him understand what it felt like to be "burned with anger", which was equivalent to directly helping him realize enlightenment.
Whether good or evil, as long as it helps his practice, Zhuang Jiutian will only be grateful.
Going back to the previous topic, sitting on the rocks at the beach and looking at the vast ocean in front of you, what can you realize?
Zhuang Jiutian thought of the sea of suffering in his body from the sea in front of him that seemed calm but actually had everlasting waves.
The boundless sea of suffering is just the sea in front of us.
Isn't the isolated island in the sea the source of life carved out of the boundless sea of suffering?
Isn't the size of the island the range within which the essence of life is transformed in the sea of suffering?
When one day, the entire sea of suffering is transformed by the essence of life, then to what level should the monk's realm be raised?
Feel the various changes in the islands under the rocks.
At first, the volcano erupted, and a small hill appeared on a flat seabed. Later, the volcano continued to erupt, and the hill continued to grow, until one day it broke through the shackles of the sea and formed a real island.
Eventually, the current island shape was formed.
This seemingly calm rocky island is actually filled with fiery energy.
The cycle repeats itself, maintaining the continuous growth of the island.
This is not the case with the fountain of life in the sea of suffering.
Life lies in movement, which does not mean that life itself likes movement, but that life in movement is tenacious.
As his understanding deepened, his life source began to slowly squirm.
If his life spring was a solid crater before, then his life spring now is a cyclic crater.
On the cliffs of the mountain pass composed of the essence of life, traces of the alternation of the old and the new began to appear.
It is no longer the case that the essence flows in the spring and the cliff remains motionless. The circulation of life essence in the sea of suffering seems to have been opened up, just like the magma circulation in the earth's mantle.
Although this change did not increase the life essence in his body, the speed of mana movement increased significantly, and the mana in his body could almost move at will.
When the total amount of mana remains unchanged, the speed of the cycle becomes faster, which means that the combat power that can be output becomes stronger.
Zhuang Jiutian's aura also became more and more chaotic.
Moreover, the Taoism exuded from his body became stronger and stronger.
The Saint of Poseidon Island on the side clearly sensed the changes in Zhuang Jiutian, which made her confused for a while.
She also sat on the beach and realized the Tao. The other person really realized the Tao, but she got nothing. Instead, she felt that the previous way of practice was correct, but the waves here were not strong enough.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord!"
After feeling the surprising changes in his body, Zhuang Jiutian happily sang aloud.
"Congratulations, Taoist Priest, for your great progress." An Ran congratulated, but a trace of envy flashed in his eyes.
"It seems that Daoist fellow Taoist has not gained much." Zhuang Jiutian looked at her and said.
"The Tao is natural. It is easy to say but difficult to do. There are a few people in the world who can understand the great way of heaven and earth just by sitting on a rock like Taoist Master. An Ran's dull qualifications may have disappointed the Taoist Master.
.”
In fact, it's not her fault, most people in the world are like this.
It is not necessarily possible to learn and understand the scriptures left by the predecessors. Like the way Tao follows nature, this kind of act of creating one's own scriptures, how many people in the world can do it?
Moreover, there are only a few people who can understand their own practice scriptures, most of which are focused on combat skills. They can understand the fundamental Dharma that is most suitable for them.
Those kinds of moves that have huge destructive power have not actually changed or improved the essence of practice.
Just like today, people who have cultivated the divine body of the acquired sea through understanding the various changes of the sea are not common in ancient history.
Regarding body transformation, the most famous person in ancient history is the ruthless emperor who transformed from a mortal body into a chaotic body.
Her understanding is so high that it is simply enviable to the point of despair.
"Please teach me, Taoist Priest." An Ran didn't know that the reason why Zhuang Jiutian had such a high level of understanding was because of the long years of accumulation and transformation that had created his current super level of understanding.
However, this does not prevent the Saint of Poseidon Island from asking Zhuang Jiutian for advice.
"Forget it, Pindao will explain it to you personally. First of all, you have to feel the special pulse of the sea." As he spoke, he waved his hand to summon a ball of sea water, then turned the sea water into the shape of a heart, and began to breathe slightly.
It swelled and contracted in his hand, like the heart of a real living thing.
"This is the pulsation of the sea. Although it is weak, it does exist. You can feel it yourself. Remember, intention does not require force. Passively perceive the pulsation of the sea through your thoughts. Then follow the power of that pulsation, like me
Generally, a ball of sea water is taken out and turned into a soft heart of the sea that can beat."
With a gentle wave of his hand, Zhuang Jiutian threw the weakly beating heart of the sea into the water, turning it into a part of the sea again.
An Ran, the Saint of Poseidon Island, could see that Zhuang Jiutian did not use his own magic power when doing all this.
It's entirely because his palm exudes special frequency fluctuations.
This level of exquisite control over power puts Anron to shame.
Then, she followed Zhuang Jiutian and started training to condense the heart of the sea.
For An Ran, who is in the secret realm of Sendai and has completed her spiritual training, the Saint of Poseidon Island has a strong ability to perceive small fluctuations.
Soon I felt the weak fluctuations mixed with various chaotic forces.
However, if you can see it, you may not be able to catch it.
When she tried to separate a mass of seawater from the sea without using magic power, but only by the special wave, she found that she could not avoid the chaotic force surrounding the mass of seawater.
Those forces have no direction at all.
Fail, fail, fail again.
Suddenly, An Ran struck out with a palm, hitting it hard on the sea in front of him, and then left a palm print a hundred feet deep on the sea.
Then seawater poured in, causing local tsunamis.
"Taoist Master, I can't do it." At this moment, An Ran was in a state of confusion.
