What is Tao
This problem often arises among the monks, and it is also the foundation of their practice. However, the Tao is invisible, and every monk has a different understanding of it.
Chen Lin believes that when all things in the world were born, they all had their own consciousness and their own "Tao".
From the sun, moon and stars to the blades of grass and trees, everything has its own complete and independent way of operation. It is endless and indestructible.
However, all things have their strengths and weaknesses, and the vitality of the weak is plundered by the strong, so there are birth, aging, sickness and death.
Practitioners fight with the sky, the earth, and all things. What they fight for is to avoid having their own vitality plundered. Instead, they plunder all things in order to achieve self-perfection, prolong their lifespan, and pursue immortality.
But where there is plunder there is resistance, and where there is resistance there is oppression.
In this process, all kinds of accidents will occur and endless desires will arise. Therefore, if a monk wants to go far, he needs to stick to his beliefs and turn his beliefs into strength to overcome all obstacles and break free from the shackles.
Belief is the Tao, and the power derived from one's own belief is one's own Taoism!
Therefore, monks generally believe that "intention" is the prototype of "Tao", and those who can comprehend "intention" in advance will find it easier to comprehend "Tao".
Chen Lin also agrees with this point.
He felt that if it was his master, the Silver Fairy, it would definitely be easier for her to comprehend his own path.
The other party has already comprehended the meaning of the spear to a very high level, and may have touched the edge of the "Tao".
There is also grass.
The purity of the opponent's sword intent is itself a kind of Tao.
However, he couldn't compare to the situations of these two people, and he himself had never comprehended any "meaning". If he wanted to make better use of this stone, he had to rely on his own innate abilities.
This is also the only way to use the Asking Stone before one’s cultivation reaches the late stage of Refining Void.
Chen Lin adjusted his mindset, concentrated his mind and calmed his spirit, then began to practice the secret method to absorb the energy of the Dao Stone.
This step is easy.
In fact, even without the secret method, the energy in the stone will be connected with the source of talent.
Back when we were on the Holy Bone Ship, it was the energy from the Questioning Stone that was automatically attracted by the source of talent and entered the body, forcing the demon species to appear.
The difficulty lies in how to utilize the energy of the Asking Stone.
The role of the secret method is to form a bond, integrating the energy of the asking stone into the source of talent, thereby producing changes and amplifying the understanding of one's own talent.
Chen Lin held the Asking Stone in his hand.
The Questioning Stone resonated with the source of talent. A gentle energy emanated from it, entered the body through the palm, and then, guided by the secret method, merged with the source of talent.
In fact, there is no real fusion, it just wraps up the source of talent.
But with the blessing of this energy, the fluctuation of the origin has become clearer. It could only be sensed vaguely before, but now it has become extremely clear.
Immediately, the image of the line of destiny automatically unfolded in the sea of consciousness. A thick line slowly emerged, becoming longer and wider.
It is like a golden river, extending into the boundless void.
Chen Lin felt like he had turned into a fish, swimming in the river, and every swim was a wonderful scene of life.
At the same time, he was also a bystander, sitting on the shore and watching himself swimming.
This feeling is amazing, using two different senses to verify the same life.
But no matter how you swim in the river, or how you struggle and change, you can only move in one direction, which is the endless abyss.
As I was watching from the shore, I knew that if I continued like this I would just go with the flow and naturally decline, but there was nothing I could do but watch quietly.
Because he is just a consciousness, even if he sees thousands of roads ahead, he has no ability to change them.
The fish struggled and fell into the abyss, and the golden river disappeared.
Chen Lin's body trembled and he came to his senses.
After thinking about it for a while, he seemed to have realized something and once again absorbed energy from the stone.
The golden river reappeared, and his consciousness was still divided into two, one turned into a fish constantly struggling in the waves of life, and the other watched quietly.
But this time he was no longer willing to be a spectator, but tried to change, and the method was the tentacles formed by his innate abilities.
Since this tentacle can correct the line of destiny, it should be able to control oneself in the golden river.
However, correcting the line of destiny is very close, and the line is fixed and can be easily touched, but this river of destiny is wide and long, and there are infinite changes in the turbulent waves, and the little fish that one has transformed into is elusive, and sometimes it is impossible to see it, let alone touch it with tentacles.
And the tentacles aren't long enough.
After trying several times, until the energy of the Dao Stone was exhausted, Chen Lin still couldn't achieve what he wanted.
But he was not discouraged. He absorbed another energy and started again.
This cycle repeats itself over and over again.
Chen Lin didn't know how long he had been swimming in the long river of destiny, how many times he had tried to condense tentacles, or even how many times he had triggered the picture of destiny.
Forgot about time and space.
"Kachcha!"
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound.
The Questioning Stone in his hand finally ran out of energy and shattered.
Chen Lin, who seemed to be petrified, opened his eyes.
suddenly.
There was a flash in his eyes, and he raised his hand. A hazy shadow of a river appeared, emitting mysterious fluctuations.
However, this river is not golden, but grayish white, and very small. From a distance, it looks like a grayish white line.
Even so, it couldn't hold out for long and soon began to disintegrate.
Chen Lin shook his head.
Logically speaking, this should be considered a successful comprehension, and a new innate supernatural power has been obtained, or in other words, a new method of using the innate ability has been mastered.
The expected goals were basically achieved.
But this magical power is too weak and doesn't seem to be very powerful. Although it should have strong growth potential, it is of little help to him at present.
"No matter what, it was a waste of a stone to make it. I have to test it carefully."
Chen Lin stood up, stretched his stiff body, and then called Xiaocao in.
"Xiao Cao, how long have I been in seclusion?"
His consciousness was wandering in the long river of fate. He could hardly remember the time. He just felt it was very, very long.
And each repetition is a reincarnation. Although I am awake on the shore, I still have the feeling of having experienced countless lifetimes.
"Master, half a year has passed."
Chen Lin took a breath.
I didn't expect that so much time has passed in the blink of an eye. The energy contained in the stone is really huge.
"Let's go out and find a place to test the power of this magical power!"
Chen Lin said hello and left the courtyard with Xiao Cao.
field.
In a certain forest.
Chen Lin looked at a low-level monster, a gray-feathered chicken, on the tree. He waved his hand and a gray-white river shadow appeared.
As soon as he thought about it, a shadow flashed and fell on the gray-feathered chicken.
The gray-feathered chicken didn't feel anything and still squatted on the tree branch looking around.
At the same time, an image of a gray-white river emerged in Chen Lin's mind. There were some criss-crossing lines in the river, and a small fish in the shape of a gray-feathered chicken was swimming along the lines.
Chen Lin suddenly realized something.
He controlled the power of destiny, condensed his tentacles like knives, and used force to cut off a line node in front of the little fish.
Just as he finished, the phantom of the river could no longer be maintained and disintegrated, and the aura on his body weakened instantly.
Fluttering...
The gray-feathered chicken seemed to sense something and flapped its wings and flew up.
But at this moment, a stream of light shot out and pierced through the fat body of the gray-feathered chicken, causing it to fall to the ground.
"Haha, what a big grey-feathered chicken! Junior sister, you are in for a treat today!"
A young man appeared, picked up the gray-feathered chicken with a big laugh, and showed off to a young female cultivator behind him.
Chen Lin and Xiao Cao stood in the air in the distance, looking at the scene with strange expressions. They did not move forward and slowly disappeared into the void.
Then, he found some other monsters and monks to conduct experiments.
Finally came to a conclusion.
The current function of this magical power is to pull the energy target into the gray-white river, and then he can see the opponent's fate thread and change it through the fate tentacles.
This is a remarkable expansion of his abilities, extending his innate ability from changing his own destiny to changing the destiny of others.
However, due to the strength of its origin and the influence of one's own cultivation, this magical power has great limitations.
First of all, the gray-white river can only be maintained for a short time, and if you want to change the fate of the target, you must do it before the river phantom collapses, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted.
Secondly, the river phantom needs to act on the target in order to project the opponent's long river of destiny.
The most crucial point is that his tentacles of fate are too weak. Even if he can successfully project the target's river of fate, it is difficult to cut off the opponent's thread of fate, and the attack power is not strong.
After several experiments, Chen Lin basically mastered the power of this magical power.
For targets at the Qi training level, you can easily cut off the opponent's main line of destiny, or even directly chop the opponent's fish body into pieces, ensuring its death.
For a being at the foundation-building level, if he wants to cut off the main thread of destiny, he will have to expend some energy, and he will have to recover for a while every time he uses it.
As for those at the Jindan level, the main line of their destiny cannot be cut off, but only the thinner branches can be cut off. They cannot cause their indirect death, but they can make their luck worse.
Those who are above the Jindan level are simply unable to project the main line of the target's destiny. The higher the level of cultivation, the fewer lines that can be projected, and the more hazy they are. They are all tiny branches, and what can be changed is minimal.
However, although it looks weak, the growth potential of this magical power is unquestionable. Even now, if used well, it can have unexpected effects.
In a battle between strong men, even the slightest change can alter the outcome.
So Chen Lin was still quite satisfied.
In addition, this magical power is essentially to change the fate of others, which is one step closer to Niu Niu's needs.
If I could comprehend this magical power to an extremely strong level, I should be able to help Niu Niu and solve her predicament.
Although it is still far away, there is finally hope.
"Junior Han Jinshan, I am here to greet you, Senior. Thank you for your guidance!"
When he returned to the courtyard, Fatty Han was there. Upon seeing Chen Lin, he immediately bowed deeply.
Chen Lin accepted it calmly.
The other party has already advanced to the Golden Core Realm. Given his qualifications, it would be impossible for him to succeed without the Four-Pattern Seven-Star Pill.
"After becoming a Jindan cultivator, your life span will be sufficient again. As long as you stick to your Dao heart, it may be possible for you to condense your Nascent Soul."
Hearing Chen Lin's words, Fatty Han smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you for your advice, senior. But I know my own situation. It is a blessing from heaven to be able to form a pill, but I dare not hope for a Nascent Soul."
After a pause, he continued, "To be honest with you, I have decided to open a shop in the city, and then recruit a few female cultivators to start a family."
Chen Lin didn't say anything else. Everyone has their own aspirations, and the other party's actions cannot be said to be wrong.
Given the other party's situation, even if he practices hard, it will most likely be in vain in the end. So enjoying life while you can might as well be a good choice.
However, no matter what time it is, he will never give up the path to the great road. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he will work a thousand times harder to fight for it.
Suddenly, Chen Lin's heart moved.
He looked at the other person and said, "Relax your mind and don't resist!"
After saying that, he raised his hand, and the gray-white river shadow enveloped the other person.
Fatty Han felt a very mysterious force enveloping him. It was so faint that if he had not been promoted to the Golden Core stage, he might not even be able to feel it.
But he believed that Chen Lin had no reason to harm him. Even if he really wanted to harm him, he could not resist. He just stood there obediently, not moving.
In the sea of consciousness.
Chen Lin looked at the other party's fate projection with a look of surprise and doubt.
Because the other party took the initiative to relax his mind, the main line of destiny, although dim, was still revealed. However, the main line was broken on the route of the small fish transformed by the other party!
There is only one possibility in this situation, that is, the other party will face a mortal crisis in the near future!
When the time is up, the projection crashes.
Chen Lin stared at Fatty Han with a frown on his face.
"Senior Chen, what happened?"
Fatty Han felt uneasy when he was stared at and asked nervously.
Chen Lin shook his head.
He did not explain to the other party, for one thing, he did not want to reveal his innate abilities, and for another, fate was unpredictable and changing all the time, so he did not dare to be sure that the projected situation would definitely happen.
Even if the supernatural power predicts accurately, the other party himself cannot change it. He may have the ability to change it, but he does not know what the consequences of changing the fate of others will be, and whether he will suffer backlash.
After all, this kind of modification is different from directly cutting off the thread of fate. Cutting off the thread of fate is once and for all, but this modification is likely to be contaminated by cause and effect.
"I can't tell anything for now. How about this, you go back first, come back at this time tomorrow, and I'll check it out again."
Chen Lin thought about it and decided to pay attention to it.
After all, the two of them had some friendship, and it was hard to bear to watch the other die.
In addition, even though he has mastered the talent of destiny for so many years, he has always been in the exploration stage and has never truly understood destiny.
Now that I have acquired new magical powers, the opponent's situation is just right for testing the effects.
