From refining Qi to leaving the body, all are self-cultivation; from leaving the body to entering the world, it is the transition from self-cultivation to mind cultivation; entering the world to reaching the heavens is the complete mind cultivation.
For a cultivator in the physical realm, their cultivation often depends on daily accumulation.
For a cultivator of the state of mind, if he can attain enlightenment with just one thought, his realm can advance rapidly, and he may even ascend to heaven after hearing the truth.
The calamity of the heart is a hurdle, a hurdle from self-cultivation to the cultivation of the mind.
No one can escape it.
The only difference is whether it is early or late. Some people are struck by the Dao calamity as soon as they break through to the Out-of-Body state; some people wait for the Dao calamity only after they have cultivated to the peak of the Out-of-Body state; there are even some people who are dull in nature and cannot break through or wait until their lifespan ends.
It can be seen that sorrow is different.
She cultivated her mind first, then her physical state, and forcibly suppressed her own realm for four hundred years, until this moment when it burst out like a flood breaking through a dam.
In an instant, he reached the pinnacle of the world!
This also means that her calamity will come in an instant.
Monk Yichen himself is a powerful being at the peak of the Return to Void realm, and he has witnessed the process of Jianchou's rise to a higher realm with his own eyes, so he knows her current level of cultivation very well.
Not just the pinnacle of the world!
She still has energy left!
It’s just that the three realms of Return to Void, Existence of Realm and Reaching Heaven are what the Nineteen Continents’ cultivation world calls the “latter three realms”, and those who can reach these three realms are qualified to be honored as “the Great One”.
Among them, returning to the void is the threshold of these three realms, and one must enter with the Tao.
If Jianchou wants to reach a higher level in her worldly realm at this moment, the tribulation of self-examination is the only way she must go through. It is also the tribulation she cannot escape at this moment.
Ask your conscience, ask your conscience...
Faced with the questioning of the Heavenly Dao, what kind of answer will this female cultivator give
Yichen stood at the door of the hall, watching quietly.
Abbot Wuqiu seemed to sense something, his thick eyebrows slightly frowned, and he turned around to look.
At some point, Xie Buchen, who had been silent all this time, also came over.
However, he neither looked at the dignified and solemn abbot, nor paid any attention to the world-famous monk Yichen. He just raised his eyes and stared at the figure of Jianchou in front of him.
There was a rare sickly paleness to his handsome face, and at first glance it was all desolate.
The Buddha's light that appeared when the demon girl Jianchou became a Buddha on the spot had not yet dissipated, and auspicious clouds were floating in the sky, as if the fairyland had fallen to the human world and the Buddhist kingdom had descended into the mortal world.
At this moment, thunder rumbled and clouds surged in the boundless sky.
The majestic purple clouds and golden light spun and flashed, and actually formed a huge vortex in the sky above the Zen Buddhism!
It covers a hundred miles and is so deep that no one knows where it leads to.
Jianchou, who was right below it, raised his head and looked. His gaze passed through the void where the spiritual energy suddenly appeared and instantly fell into the center of the vortex.
The deep purple has turned into dark black here.
To be exact, there is no color at all.
This vortex seemed to be able to swallow up everything in the world, no wind, no clouds, and even no light. But if you stare at it for a little longer, you will feel that your eyes are drawn to this vortex and are led to a wonderful place.
Deep, vast, ancient and old, it seems connected to the endless universe!
For a moment, all Jianchou could see was the vastness of the Milky Way...
Since ancient times, all monks have regarded getting closer to heaven and earth as their mission in practice.
First cultivate the body so as to be close to heaven and earth; then cultivate the mind so as to resonate with heaven and earth. When you reach the wonderful state, you will feel the breath of heaven and earth, and what you think is what heaven and earth think, and what you feel is what heaven and earth feel.
Wherever the heart goes, the wind blows, the clouds move, the grass and trees sway, and everything is known.
This is especially true for powerful monks.
The higher the level of cultivation, the more and broader one's knowledge and feelings will be, not to mention the obvious strange phenomenon of heaven and earth at this moment.
On the land of Nineteen Continents, countless cultivators looked sideways to the north!
In the Kunwu Yihe Palace.
Hengxu Zhenren, who has always been praised as the first leader of the righteous path, was instructing several of his disciples on their cultivation. But before he could finish his words, he felt the strange movement between heaven and earth.
As his brows slightly furrowed, his powerful spiritual sense had already swept over.
Thousands of mountains and rivers can be crossed in an instant.
All kinds of scenes in the direction of Zen have been fully displayed in his mind, including, of course, the figure standing under the vortex of Taoism.
Yashan, seeing sorrow.
The beloved one who was killed by his beloved disciple, a genius who "survived a great disaster", a disciple of Yashan whose three souls and seven spirits are incomplete and have not yet been restored...
He had never seen such calamity clouds and such strange phenomena before.
It was obvious that she had crossed three realms in a row, and all the heavenly tribulations were piled up together. In addition, there was also the most difficult "conscience" for her...
The body of a man with a weak constitution will die if he examines his conscience.
I just don’t know whether this female cultivator named Jianchou will bring him a “surprise”.
Hengxu's gaze had already penetrated the sky, faintly flashing with a hint of divine light, but he did not utter another word.
Tomorrow's starry sea, Jiexing Villa.
Because there have been frequent unusual movements in the Polar Region in recent years, and the Star Sea is located in the east, bordering the Polar Region, the Yashan Kunwu, Zen Sect, the Yin-Yang Sect, and even the southwestern families and the three demons have continuously sent experts to investigate.
Today's starry sea has a brand new look.
The monks with low cultivation base smelled danger and fled for their lives; the real desperadoes or those who had already seen through the situation stayed behind, not taking the foreign old monsters and powerful men who had come in recent years seriously at all.
In the northwest direction, Qu Zhengfeng was sitting by the Sword Lake sharpening his sword when the strange phenomenon appeared.
The originally blunt sword edge, after careful sharpening, has gradually begun to shine with a cold light.
The sword was ordinary, but in his hands, which were born to wield swords, there was a sense of extraordinary aura.
A letter written in black jade and gold was spread out and lying at his feet. It was unclear whether it had been there for one, two, or three days, and it was covered with a lot of dust and mud.
The four characters "Kunwu Hengxu" in the signature are particularly eye-catching.
But Qu Zhengfeng didn't even take a look.
When he felt the breath coming from the West Sea Zen Sect, he paused for a moment while sharpening his sword. The tip of the ordinary sword, which had already been three points brighter, left a deep mark on the black whetstone.
Looking up at the sky, there was a slight surprise in his eyes, and the next moment he frowned.
How can one find peace of mind when one's three souls and seven spirits are incomplete
Not many outsiders knew about this matter, and even the many powerful monks who were watching at this time could not see through it at all. After all, the matter of souls is fundamental, and without some special means, the powerful ones are confused.
But in Yashan, there are many people who know the truth about this matter.
As early as yesterday when Jianchou and Xie Buchen broke out of the Sumeru mustard seed, Fudao Shanren knew that she was safe and sound. It was just because he learned from the thief monk Yichen that she had to go to heaven for a cause and effect, and he thought that since the three masters of the West Sea Zen Sect were all there, nothing should go wrong.
Who would have thought that when I opened my eyes today, I would see such a horrific scene!
With Tianxu's body, he has no rivals below the level of the body. Once he is confronted with the truth, he will surely die!
How can one face the questioning of Heaven if his three souls and seven spirits are incomplete? !
Fudao Shanren stood on the top of Huanshao Peak, looking far towards the direction of Xihai Zen Sect. He wished he could catch the three unreliable bald monks of Zen Sect one by one and strangle them to death!
How can we allow her to question her conscience when her soul is not yet complete
And what was going on with this cultivation? It suddenly skyrocketed to the peak of the world, just one step away from returning to the void!
I'm so angry that my heart and liver are about to explode!
Without saying a word, he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to rush to Xihai to find out the truth: "Damn it, these bald donkeys are fooling the hermit all day long! Do they really want my disciple to die under the law of heaven?!"
"Heavenly Way?"
At this moment, a voice that was hard to tell whether it was a laugh or a sarcasm suddenly appeared beside him. Fu Dao was startled for a moment, and he realized that the voice sounded somewhat familiar.
Turning around, he saw that it was indeed the man who claimed to be Jianchou's "old friend" and stayed at Yashan a few days ago.
The old dark green robe he wore had an indescribable smell, almost of dust and decay, but the person wrapped in the robe gave people a sense of vitality.
Dijiang Guyu, who had been sleeping for nine out of ten days, was now leaning on his shoulder, looking very close to him.
Jianchou was wondering how he knew this man, but Fudaoshan had no idea at all.
He only knew that this "guest" in front of him, although he seemed to be only in the late stage of Return to Void, gave him a feeling of being a little unclear.
Hearing the other party talking at this moment, he couldn't help but frown.
Fu Chaosheng did not intend to explain or apologize for what he said. Instead, he looked into the distance, with an inexplicable smile on his lips, and said calmly: "Heaven's way is nothing but a dead thing."
What is there to worry about
The fact that he dared to open up his mind and ask his heart honestly at this moment proved that his old friend had made up his mind and understood his true feelings.
I don’t care about the incomplete soul, nor do I care about how heaven judges it.
If you keep your mind focused, nothing can change you.
If you succeed, you will return to nothingness in one step; if you fail, you will be reduced to ashes.
What's more, how could we lose when facing such a dead thing
The land of the Nineteen Continents is vast and boundless.
The sun had just risen and spread its light everywhere, but when the vortex appeared, the whole sky was strangely gray, as if it was covered with a shadow.
The strange phenomenon hanging high in the sky above the Xihai Zen Sect was like a murderer that suddenly appeared, about to swallow up the sky.
In the temple hall in front and in the forest of steles in the back, countless monks looked up in horror, but after searching their memories, they still could not guess who was undergoing the calamity in the temple.
As far as I can remember, none of my fellow apprentices have reached this level of cultivation.
It was not until the figure of the female cultivator slowly rose into the air in front of the Thousand Buddha Hall that someone recognized her identity.
"It's the female cultivator who came back with Grandmaster Yichen yesterday!"
"Is that the senior sister from Yashan who always disappears?"
"Amitabha, but her cultivation..."
"I have never seen anyone transcend tribulation with such power..."
“Incredible!”
…
For most cultivators in the Nineteen Continents, such a grand and even terrifying scene of tribulation is something they have never heard of or seen before!
After all, what madman in the world would pile up all the heavenly tribulations in his realms together to overcome them
The power of the thunderbolt is calculated based on the realm of the cultivator when he is undergoing the thunderbolt!
In other words, the power of the thunder will be equal to the realm the cultivator is in at that time.
From the Nascent Soul stage to the Out-of-Body stage, the power of the Tribulation Thunder is roughly at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage; from the Out-of-Body stage to the world stage, the power of the Tribulation Thunder is roughly at the peak of the Out-of-Body stage.
When you enter the world and break through to return to the void, there will be no thunder.
Because at this level, all you need to cultivate is your mind. One thought can make you an immortal, but one thought can also destroy your foundation. After returning to the void, every thought is a calamity, so there is no need to test the cultivators with calamity thunder.
At this time, Jianchou was already at the peak of the worldly realm, and the realm she actually wanted to break through was the Return to Void realm. If that was all, she would be able to break through with just one thought, and there would be no thunder tribulation.
However, her realm suddenly soared.
What she is about to face at this moment is not just three thunders of different powers, but two thunders of power at the peak of the world and the most dangerous thunder of self-examination!
There was a mysterious force between heaven and earth that lifted her up.
All the cultivation in his body exploded at this moment, and all his mental states converged at this moment. That kind of powerful and peerless strength was instantly revealed without reservation!
A quasi-powerful person who has reached the pinnacle of the secular world and has one foot halfway into returning to the void!
The same feeling that Jianchou gave people at this moment was similar to the feeling that the Dharma King Aquarius and the Dharma King Seal made when they attacked in the Snowland Temple that day.
Even better than them!
Just because of her current mood and spirit!
Looking around, the overlapping Zen temples were scattered in an orderly manner, but they shrank in front of my eyes along with the surrounding mountains and rivers. The boundless West Sea was dark near by, but still illuminated by the sun in the distance, and was completely divided into two halves of light and dark by the vortex of thunder.
Except for the top of my head, there was not a single cloud in the sky.
All the clouds have been gathered by the vortex, forming a terrifying pressure!
A test from heaven and earth!
A test from heaven!
"brush!"
Under this pressure, the Wanxiang Dou Pan came out without being called, and flew up on its own initiative. In the blink of an eye, it had reached a huge height of 55 feet!
The Taoist seals on it emit a dazzling golden light, shining brightly with the bowl.
Seal of the Heaven.
Red Sun Slash.
Emperor Jiang Wind and Thunder Seal.
Ride the wind.
Draw the sword.
The Great Five Elements Breaking Taboo Technique.
…
And all of Jianchou's magic weapons at this moment, the Wind-Swallowing Sword, the Deer-Cutting Knife, and the Lamp-Burning Sword, all sensed some kind of huge danger from heaven and earth, and all surfaced and were displayed on the fighting plate!
Even the Eight Heavenly Dragons, who had been practicing in the Sumeru mustard seed for four hundred years and had never tested their power, would emit a terrifying pressure from above their heads!
Amidst the buzzing sound, there was actually Buddha’s light filling the sky!
The gods, dragons, yakshas, gandharvas, asuras, garudas, kinnaras, mahoragas...
The shadows of the Eight Groups of People were slowly illuminated by the Buddha's light. They were filled with the same compassion and solemnity!
At this moment, all the Zen monks below opened their eyes wide, hardly daring to believe what they saw. Even Yichen and Wugou at the entrance of the Thousand Buddha Hall were totally surprised!
this…
This looks like the practice of Buddhism!
Since the war between Yin and Yang, the reincarnation of Buddhism has not changed, so it is still connected with the Extreme Domain. The concept of "Dharmakaya" was passed from Buddhism to the Extreme Domain. The ghost cultivators in the Extreme Domain also often choose a Dharmakaya to cultivate. Yichen and Wugou have seen it before.
But at this moment, the scene of the eight tribes behind Jianchou...
What is being cultivated is not just one Dharma body, but eight!
Can it be the same to cultivate one Dharmakaya with one mind and one effort and to cultivate eight Dharmakayas with one mind and eight efforts
Although he didn't know where Jianchou's martial arts came from and how to practice it, when he saw the virtual images of the Eight Immortals, Yichen took a deep breath!
Those who are not aware of the situation are just confused; but those who are aware of the situation and can see the depth are all astonished.
This female cultivator is more than just extraordinary.
It's simply crazy!
No one knows how she cultivated the eight celestial dragon forms. But most people guess that she is a natural genius. Only Jianchou herself knows how much her potential can be brought to the extreme after four hundred years of lonely and hard training!
Open your arms and your heart.
At this moment, the sky is wide, the earth is vast, and the world is huge, all of them fall into her arms and into her heart!
There was no longer any pressure from any previous tribulation, and it was even more different from the feeling of facing a formidable enemy from the Taoist seals, techniques, and magic weapons around him. At this moment, Jianchou was calm, relaxed, and even had a kind of freehand temperament like a landscape painting.
It seemed that what she was about to face was not the most terrifying and powerful natural calamity in the history of the 19 continents, nor was it the heavenly torture that would determine her life or death and success or failure!
“Boom!”
Almost at the moment she opened her arms, the vortex in the sky, looking down at everything, seemed to sense her indifference and contempt, and let out an angry roar!
A pure black lightning fell like a pillar from heaven!
It comes from the depths of the vortex, from the space where even light is swallowed up, from the sky, from the Tao!
Wherever it passes, everything should submit!
Jianchou, who was right below it, was just a mortal body, so fragile and insignificant? He was just like a leaf in a storm, or a grain of sand when the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked!
Who could believe that she could survive such a horrific thunderbolt
But it was just such a leaf, a grain of sand, that burst out with infinite power at the moment when the pure black thunderbolt descended!
The slender body stands straight and towering like a mountain!
She stretched out her hand in front of her, and the Burning Lamp Sword floating above the Wanxiang Dou Plate automatically fell into her palm.
At such a moment, facing such a devastating thunder that shook the world, she did not retreat, nor did she even put up the slightest defense!
The only thing she had prepared was the Ran Deng sword!
The approaching thunder forced Jianchou to reach the peak state and the most extraordinary understanding in his life!
Draw your sword!
What was pulled out was the Burning Lamp Sword!
When the sword was unsheathed, where was the awe of the ordinary cultivators towards the heavenly tribulation in her eyes
Yes, just peace.
In her eyes, this natural disaster was no different from any opponent she had encountered in the past!
What she has to do is not to surrender, but to destroy!
The sword of burning lamp, the first level is the realm of mortal world, the second level is the realm of ashes, and the third level is the realm of illuminating the world.
Jianchou asked himself that as a mere mortal, he could not save the foolish people of this world, but why not "save" himself from this natural calamity
Sword unsheathed—
Twenty-one red precious flower patterns!
The sword light is deep red, and the sword energy is overwhelming!
However, what is even more frightening is the sword intent that comes out when the sword slashes!
This is clearly a Buddhist sword, which should have the dignity and compassion to benefit the world and save all people. However, when Jianchou swung the sword, all people could feel was the unstoppable killing rage!
Forced salvation!
Who cares whether the person under the sword is alive or dead, a person or an object
When the sword was swung, the entire sword changed instantly.
The hilt of the sword, which was originally like a lotus petal, suddenly opened and turned into a lotus lamp, but it was missing the last lotus petal. The three-foot-long sword body began to shrink inward from the tip of the sword covered with the Baoxiang Flower pattern.
In a breath, the pitch-black sword body disappeared, and twenty-one precious patterns overlapped with each other!
It formed a bright flame!
So at this moment, the sword light and sword energy that had already been emitted were also ignited by this flame and turned into a raging sea of fire!
Before everyone even had time to blink, the sword energy collided with the thunder!
"boom!"
The lightning and thunder like a pillar of heaven was instantly submerged by the endless sea of fire!
The terrifying power of thunder exploded violently, and actually blew the sea of fire into pieces. It immediately scattered all over the sky, like a vast palace with thousands of lights shining brightly!
The remaining power of the thunder transformed into countless tiny electric snakes that swam in the air. But they didn't even have the chance to touch Jianchou before they were burned by the endless flames and turned into ashes and smoke!
An unprecedented peak catastrophe in the world!
It is also an unprecedented head-on confrontation!
He actually won! And as a person who had experienced the tribulation, Jianchou was completely unharmed after this tribulation thunder!
Countless people opened their mouths wide, without the strength to close them.
How could the gentle Zen monks have ever seen such a domineering and tyrannical female cultivator? You know, even the most irritable Vajra practitioners in their Zen sect didn't dare to challenge the heavenly tribulation!
It can be seen that Chou did it and succeeded!
Not to mention the Zen Buddhism at this moment, even the Nineteen Continents at this moment fell into silence because of this earth-shattering sword!
only…
There is no end to the shock, especially for Jianchou, this female cultivator who has already defined her own path and is steadfast in practicing it!
Heavenly calamity is merciless and will not shock people.
The collapse of the first thunderbolt did not cause any impact on it.
When the first thunderbolt dissipated, it was assumed that the person had survived the disaster, so the second thunderbolt instantly emerged from the vortex!
It is still the mighty one at the peak of the world!
It still comes from the depths of the universe, the depths of the galaxy, and the end of light!
Almost everyone believed that Jianchou, who was at the peak of her powers at the moment, must have exhausted all her strength to be able to disperse the first thunderbolt. There was no way she could easily withstand the second thunderbolt whose power had not weakened at all!
In fact, Jianchou did let go of the Randeng Sword, which had now turned into a lotus lamp.
Everyone thought they had guessed correctly.
But who could have thought that the next moment, she would close her eyes slightly and spread out her palms!
The Eight Heavenly Dragon Dharma Images that were originally rotating slowly like a giant wheel behind her suddenly stopped as if sensing her thoughts.
The eight Dharma bodies all shine brightly with golden light.
Right above Jianchou's head is Brahma, one of the eight groups of celestial beings!
A seated Buddha with four faces and four arms.
Each Buddha face has a different expression, each arm has a different posture, each palm is in a different seal and holds a different magical instrument.
The Buddha's light surrounding Him makes Him look majestic and inviolable!
The moment He stopped above Jianchou's head, Jianchou had already raised his hand!
At this moment, the entire statue shrank suddenly, like a real Buddha descending to the world, and it actually overlapped with her figure and attached to her body!
She opened her eyes again, and there was already a Buddha's light in her eyes!
He is above the nine heavens, possessing the eight Dharma images, and also has a pair of Buddha eyes!
At this moment, who can tell
Is this female cultivator in front of me Jianchou who is going through a tribulation, or the Great Brahma who rules the Buddhist kingdom? And is this palm that blocks out the sky the Heaven-turning Seal that made Master Bu Yu famous, or the Tathagata Palm that can suppress the three realms in the Buddhist scriptures
The golden Buddha light shone through the dark palm shadow, and actually gave a layer of gold to this palm shadow that was as terrifying as a heavenly calamity!
Jianchou would never choose to passively defend!
On the contrary, the accumulated cultivation of four hundred years filled her body with inexhaustible strength, and the sudden enlightenment gave her the courage to fight against the heavenly calamity!
Not to mention two thunderbolts!
At this moment today, with this in mind, even if there are ten or a hundred more attacks! Her response will also be this palm!
If one has to endure the tribulation, it is a test from heaven to the cultivator.
Well, this is the answer she gave to Heaven after four hundred years of hard training!
I just don't know—
Are you satisfied with my answer
“Crack!”
“Boom!”
This time, even the moment of equal strength during the first thunderbolt disappeared, and it was a complete crushing!
The thunderbolt that was as thick as a pillar of heaven, under the cover of Jianchou's earth-shattering palm shadow, looked as thin as an earthworm. It was hit by the palm force like a raging sea and could not hold out for even a moment!
In the blink of an eye, it was like a lone boat, swallowed up by the tsunami!
There is not even a shadow left!
The remaining force of this palm even blasted into the vortex at the end of the sky, creating ripples thousands of feet high, which disappeared silently after a long time.
At this moment, no one could say a word.
Standing in the void, how is Jianchou different from a giant god who fought in ancient times
With the realm at the peak of the world, he fought against the heavenly tribulation at the peak of the world, and won completely!
A complete victory without any suspense!
From ancient times to the present, looking around the world, how many people can do this
Everyone's eyes were on her, but all her eyes were on the sky, in the vortex.
After two thunderbolts, it did not disappear.
Spinning round and round, the breath of heaven was finally released from it clearly, enveloping Jianchou completely!
Silent and breathless.
But that kind of vastness that spans the wilderness and encompasses the universe, that kind of majesty that controls everything and dominates destiny, has already mercilessly descended upon her head.
It was so quiet all around that only the sound of the wind could be heard.
But in this short yet long moment, Jianchou seemed to hear it, heard the sound from the vortex, heard the questioning from the heaven!
You—
What is the Tao
Thus, all the blood that had been rushing due to the previous fight against the heavenly calamity slowly calmed down.
Even if one has a body that is naturally empty, so what? He will die if he leaves his body.
So what if the soul is incomplete and imperfect
This is her—
One is her now, the other is her at this moment.
Under his feet is an octagonal bowl shining with starlight, and behind him are the eight celestial dragons illuminated by the Buddha's light. Jianchou stands in the air, under the gaze of heaven, his body is as clear as glass, and his heart is as clean as a mirror.
When he opened his mouth, that clear and firm voice reached the hearts of all the powerful beings whose spiritual awareness could reach this place, and echoed in the lonely sky above the Nineteenth Continent!
"I-"
"Take me as the way!"
“My way is myself.”
No matter how the three realms and six paths of reincarnation change in this world, no matter how defective the three souls and seven spirits of this body are, there is only one me in this world!
And I only have now!
I am the best me at this moment.
