Jiang Yuebai quickly straightened his expression and took the scroll handed to him by Li Jiuchuan.
The original version of the "Dayan Sutra" is kept on the top floor of the Tianyan Sect's library. The two scrolls were copied later by the Supreme Elder.
Jiang Yuebai opened the scroll to take a look, while Li Jiuchuan gave a brief explanation.
"Strictly speaking, the Great Derivation Sutra is not a practice method that can be cultivated. It focuses more on the laws of heaven and earth. The so-called Great Derivation is to perform the changes of heaven and earth, and use numerology to deduce all things in heaven and earth, covering everything."
"The laws of heaven and earth described in the first part are also laying the foundation for the second part. I have not yet fully understood the Great Derivations. I only know that there is Taiji in Yi, which gave birth to Liangyi, Liangyi gave birth to Sixiang, and Sixiang gave birth to Bagua. Taiji is Taiyi, Liangyi is Yangyi one, Yinyi two, and Sixiang is Taiyang one, Shaoyin two, Shaoyang three, Taiyin four..."
"By analogy, all things in the world can be deduced using the fifty numbers of the Great Derivations, according to the process of their birth, development, prosperity, decline, and extinction. After understanding the forward deduction, one can use it to reverse the deduction. Reverse is the key to the Great Derivations Sutra."
Jiang Yuebai nodded. Regarding the 'way of reversal', she already had a deep understanding of it from the first part of the Great Derivations.
[To be rebellious is one thing, but there is another, which is deduction. To infer the cause from the result is also rebellious. Hongmeng gave birth to chaos, chaos gave birth to Wuji, Wuji gave birth to Taiji, Taiji gave birth to Liangyi, Liangyi gave birth to Sixiang, Sixiang gave birth to Bagua, Bagua gave birth to all things]
[All things go against the flow, learn the Eight Diagrams, master the Four Symbols, refine the two energies, combine the two principles, realize Tai Chi, transform into Wuji, return to chaos, and seek to verify Hongmeng. This is the peak of the Great Dao, and this is the way of reversal.]
[Hongmeng is in my hands, everything is under my control]
These few words have become the cornerstone of Jiang Yuebai's path to defy the heavens.
Li Jiuchuan continued, "In other words, the purpose of practicing the Great Derivation Sutra is to prove the Great Dao of Hongmeng. To give a simple example, like the Wu clan's longevity Gu, ordinary cultivators cannot see the trace of the longevity Gu even if they have cultivated to the Mahayana stage, let alone catch it."
"But if you master the law of time, you can step into the long river of time, just like fishing in the river, and it is easy to find the longevity Gu. Hongmeng is the more difficult to find longevity Gu. You need the law of all things to turn into a river, and then you can see the Hongmeng fish."
Jiang Yuebai seemed to be thinking, "That is to say, other cultivators only need to master one law to seek immortality, but the Great Derivation Sutra requires one to master all the laws of the world, to be above the immortals and gods, and to directly become the way of heaven?"
Li Jiuchuan nodded, "That's right."
Jiang Yuebai opened his eyes wide, shocked by the domineering aura that came towards him.
What kind of woman is Lu Xingyun who could create such a powerful martial art that could dominate the world? Just this thought alone has left all living beings in the world far behind.
She doesn't want to become an immortal, she wants to become a god!
"Is this really... possible? Did the Grandmaster do it?"
Jiang Yuebai asked, and suddenly shuddered. If Lu Xingyun could do it, then the Heavenly Dao that controls this world at this moment is Lu Xingyun, right
"Probably not." Li Jiuchuan frowned and said, "The Grand Elder once explored the footprints of the ancestor when he was in the upper realm. She ascended to heaven like other Mahayana immortals, not replacing the heaven. Perhaps in the legendary immortal world or the divine world, she is still practicing this way."
Jiang Yuebai couldn't help but exclaim, "This foundation is laid... really well!"
It would be good if the Heavenly Dao was not Lu Xingyun, otherwise she would always feel an indescribable creepy feeling. There is nothing more terrifying than the Heavenly Dao having human consciousness.
"Then how do we practice the second part of the Great Derivations? When I take a look at it, it's all about yin and yang, things like yin is one and yang is two, heaven is one and water is two, earth is two and fire is two." Jiang Yuebai asked.
Li Jiuchuan asked back, "Do you remember the process of you deducing the rotation of the five elements and transforming yourself into a water spirit?"
Jiang Yuebai's pupils trembled slightly, and he immediately understood as if he had suddenly realized something.
"Is it to turn everything in the world into numbers, and to work backwards according to the Tai Chi, Yin Yang and the Eight Diagrams, to deduce the origin of existence? Then doesn't it mean that we must first understand it well before we can work backwards to deduce the origin?"
But above the water aura and wood aura that make up the leaves, there are one or even more layers of rules. Practicing the "Dayan Sutra" is to reverse the upper rules and ultimately understand how the first leaf between heaven and earth came into being from the chaos.
This sounds incredible, like a fairy tale.
But the fact that Lu Xingyun can ascend to the fairyland shows that it is not completely a fantasy. She has at least verified one law from all the laws in the world. Otherwise, how could she ascend
Li Jiuchuan added, "The practice of the Great Derivation Sutra is very long and complicated. It will accompany you throughout your entire journey of cultivation. You don't have to rush. The five elements are complete and are the cornerstone of the Great Derivation Sutra. Only on this basis can you deduce. It is enough to understand one law from it. Each law has its own power."
"For example, if you master the power of 'the law of withering and flourishing', you can make all things turn from withering to flourishing, or from flourishing to withering, with just a thought. It's actually too early to tell you this now. Everyone has a different understanding of the law, and will realize different ways."
"Master can't help you much anymore. If you follow the methods in it and gain something, it will be like the first time you realized the truth. You will be baptized by the great way and filled with spiritual energy. This may be the only way to improve your cultivation through the Great Scripture."
Jiang Yuebai nodded. This thing was indeed too complicated. Her head was completely confused and she had to calm down and sort it out.
In short, she understood one thing, that is, the "Dayan Sutra" cannot be used for cultivation, but can only be used to comprehend the great Dao and lay the foundation for mastering the laws and achieving the Dao in the future.
It’s amazing, it’s really amazing!
But it is of little use to her freshly made little golden elixir.
She couldn't just ignore the techniques that would steadily improve her cultivation and sit there every day to meditate, waiting for Heaven to force-feed her spiritual energy and stuff food into her mouth, right
Too unstable!
I will continue to major in "The Five Elements Return to Truth" and minor in "The Great Derivations" in my spare time.
"Master, out of curiosity, what law are you studying?"
Li Jiuchuan stretched out his hand, and the leaf appeared in his palm again, but this time the leaf turned from light green to dark green, from dark green to dark red, and finally withered into gray.
"I realized the law of the rotation of the five elements from the four seasons back then. For the past few hundred years, I have been studying the law of the alternation of the four seasons. Now I have only made some progress, which cannot be regarded as a law."
Li Jiuchuan withdrew his hand and stood up. "You have just formed your first elixir, so you still need to nurture it and stabilize it. On your way back, you should practice well in the quiet room in the cabin. I will be watching outside, so don't worry."
Jiang Yuebai stood up and sent Li Jiuchuan out, closed the door of the quiet room and opened the protective formation. She sat on the bed and thought about what her master had just said.
"I have absolutely no clue. I don't know where to start. How could the Grandmaster have such a brain to come up with something so complicated? Did she grow up eating arithmetic? It's all numbers!"
Patting his head to clear the yin and yang thoughts from his mind, Jiang Yuebai sank his consciousness into his own little lotus world.
Huh~~
A gust of cold wind blew, and Jiang Yuebai's consciousness was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture.
She was surprised to see that the original ten-acre square grassland was covered with white snow, and heavy snow was falling under the starry sky.
The pond froze over, and the burning tree was almost extinguished by the cold.
What is happening
I will write it again here. Some platforms cannot see the chapters of Qidian.
*
The content of "Dayan Jing" is nonsense I made up based on the "Dayan Numbers". It has no basis. I thought of these things because I saw a joke that the end of mathematics is philosophy, and the end of philosophy is theology. This part can be self-consistent according to the logic set in my book, and there is no need to delve into it.
Today's three updates are over. I'm going to sort out the outline for the rest of the post. See you tomorrow~
