Cultivating the Tao: Beginning with Meditation and Liver Experience

Chapter 85 The Theory of Poisonous Reiki, the Poison of the Great Way! (seeking subscription)
Martial saints need to borrow the power of the sun, the moon and the stars to break through the immortals.

So what is the power of the sun, moon and stars?
Is it sunlight, moonlight, starlight, various stellar rays, cosmic rays?
Or is it a variant of aura in this world, the manifestation of the power of people's thoughts?
Or is it a mixture of various forces?
Anyway, it's hard for Xu Yan to imagine what kind of power the real power of the sun, moon and stars is.

It can't be the same as the sun power absorbed by his [Spirit Turtle Breathing Method], it belongs to the heat and solar energy in the air, right?
Of course, when he asked about the "power of the sun, moon and stars", he didn't really want to understand the essence of the "power of the sun, moon and stars", but wanted to use it to draw out the question of aura.

"How should I answer this question?"

"The power of the sun, the moon, and the stars needed to break through the realm of the immortals is the original power of the heaven and the earth. Even if the aura of the heaven and the earth dissipates and the inspiration disappears, this power still exists. It is as eternal and stable as the sun, moon, and stars."

"Aura, on the other hand, is a completely different kind of power. It is agile, changeable, extremely active, and has its own will."

"The last is the essence of the sun and the moon. Generally, it is the aura containing the power of the sun and the sun. It will only be born when the power of the sun and the sun is strong, and then it will be refined by the monks."

"Although these three forces are related to a certain extent, they are not the same force."

The old man thought about his answer, and only talked about the relationship between the three energies, but he didn't tell the essential difference between the three energies.

In other words, no one has ever cared about the nature of energy.

Like the power of the sun.

For people in this world, the power of the sun is the power of the sun, which is a whole, the supreme yang power between heaven and earth, which can restrain Yin gods and ghosts.

No one will subdivide how many rays are contained in sunlight, whether they come from nuclear fusion or not.

So it is really difficult for the old man to explain the nature and difference of these three energies.

"Then why not absorb the spirit energy and the essence of the sun and the moon?"

Xu Yan asked curiously.

After all, compared to the stable power of the sun, moon and stars, active aura and essence of the sun and moon are undoubtedly easier to absorb and refine.

Since it is all energy.

Then why don't warriors absorb the spiritual energy and the essence of the sun and the moon, but must absorb the power of the sun, moon and stars?
Hear this question.

The old man said: "In fact, in ancient times, when martial arts were first established, warriors also absorbed refining spiritual energy and the essence of the sun and the moon."

"Even the mainstream of martial arts at that time was not human immortal martial arts, but demon martial arts and spiritual martial arts."

"Later, the sages of the human race felt the limitations of spiritual energy and the essence of the sun and the moon, so they found another way, created the blood martial arts, and used the power of the sun, the moon and the stars to break through the realm of human immortals and opened up the road of human immortal martial arts."

Xu Yan asked curiously, "Are the limitations of spiritual energy and sun and moon essence too great?"

This was the first time he heard such a statement, and he didn't know what the "limitation" in the old man's mouth meant.

In other words, is there any place in this world where there is no spiritual energy?

"Of course." The old man sighed: "There is no invincible power in the world, and there is no truly invincible person. Just like aura, it seems to fill every corner of the world and is extremely active. In fact, it is in many forbidden places and Jedi. , there is no aura.”

"Also, there are many powers and means in the world that can suppress aura."

"For example, the dragon and tiger aura of the dynasty, the power of faith of the gods, the power of blood of warriors, the power of ancient gods of foreign races, the blood and evil spirit of soldiers, the magnetism of the earth, the turbidity of heaven and earth, etc., all have great influence on aura. Great oppression."

"There are even forbidden spirit talismans, forbidden spirit instruments, and spirit-locking instruments, all of which were developed based on the defects of aura."

Xu Yan was astonished by the old man's words.

Then fell into deep thought.

Because he suddenly discovered that the aura didn't seem to be as powerful as he imagined, nor was it as good as he imagined.

There are too many powers and means that can target the power of aura.

Suppressed by dragon and tiger aura, by the power of belief in the gods, by the power of the blood of warriors, by the power of ancient gods of foreign races, even the blood evil spirit of the army can still suppress the aura.

It's just... why?

Xu Yan couldn't figure it out, he couldn't figure out why it happened.

The old man didn't care about Xu Yan's thoughts, and continued: "Of course, if it's just like this, it won't make warriors give up the use of spiritual energy."

"After all, although aura has many limitations, it also has many advantages, such as longevity!"

"In Human Immortal Martial Arts, the limit lifespan of a Martial Saint is 200 years, and that of a Human Immortal Warrior is 500 years."

"However, among demon warriors and spirit warriors, once the spiritual energy quenching is completed, they can obtain a limit lifespan of 300 years. If they can achieve the realm of a martial god, they can even have a thousand years of lifespan."

The limit lifespan here refers to the maximum lifespan of a monk without disease or disaster, not that you can really live for such a long time.

For example, the theoretical lifespan of Blue Star humans is 160 years, so the limit lifespan is 160 years.

However, no one actually lives that long at all.

Generally, very few people can live to be a hundred years old, very few can live to be 120 years old, and most of them can only live to be 80 to [-] years old.

Therefore, the limit life is the limit life, and the real life is the real life, and the two cannot be confused.

The limit lifespan of a demon warrior is almost double that of a blood warrior.

Among them, aura is definitely indispensable.

It's just that the old man's words made Xu Yan even more incomprehensible.

As the saying goes: through the ages, there is only one death!
Since the martial artist absorbs the spiritual energy, it can increase the maximum lifespan of the warrior, greatly increasing the lifespan of the warrior.

Then why did the sages of the human race in ancient times find a new way to develop the human immortal martial arts, and make the immortal martial arts the mainstream of the human race's practice system?
It seemed that Xu Yan's doubts could be seen.

The old man smiled and asked, "Is it difficult to understand?"

Xu Yan nodded.

He really couldn't understand this question.

"The reason is very simple, because the aura is poisonous!"

"There are thousands of demon heads in the world, and the leader is called the heavenly demon, who was born in the demon abyss and hid in the spirit spirit. He is invisible and invisible to the naked eye. Those who cultivate the Tao must pass through the tribulations of heavenly demons, and if they are not demons, they will not prove the way."

The old man read a passage from the "Tao Jing", and then said: "In fact, the so-called demons are spiritual will."

"In the early days of martial arts monks, the focus is on body training rather than god training. The mind of the soul is weak. Once you absorb too much aura, you will be affected by the chaotic will in the aura, and eventually go crazy, and even directly turn into a humanoid monster."

"Wait until the middle and late stage of Martial Dao, when the power of qi and blood of warriors is strong, it will become a very difficult thing to integrate spiritual energy into qi and blood."

"Especially in the realm of Martial Saints, where the spirit and blood become one and become pure yang, the power of Qi and blood will suppress and repel the spiritual energy, even if the spiritual energy is forcibly introduced into the body, the martial arts will of the martial saint will also be produced together with the will of the spiritual energy With violent conflicts, it is difficult to practice with spiritual energy."

"Thus, if the Martial Sage wants to break through the realm of the immortal, he can only borrow the power of the sun, the moon and the stars."

The old man explained with a smile.

The reason why warriors regard aura as a "big poison" is mainly because aura has its own will.

This is undoubtedly very dangerous and deadly for warriors.

Especially in the early days of martial arts, warriors have weak qi and blood, and their souls are also weak. If spiritual energy enters the body, it is easy to go crazy.

And when a warrior becomes a martial sage, he has condensed the will of martial arts, his mind and soul are strengthened, and his blood and energy are extremely strong, which will suppress and repel the spiritual energy. It is already extremely difficult to attract the spiritual energy into the body.

That's why when a warrior breaks through the realm of immortality, he will choose the power of the sun, moon and stars instead of aura and essence of the sun and moon.

It's just that Xu Yan still has a doubt.

Reiki is not a living thing, so why does it have its own will?

"Many people have thought about this question and put forward various speculations, but there is no definite answer so far."

"Some people think that the aura is formed by the spirit of the ancient god, and its will is the division of the will of the ancient god. If the ancient god is resurrected in the future, the aura will completely dissipate, and all things related to the aura will be swallowed by the ancient god."

"Some people also think that the initial aura has no self-will. The self-will in the aura mainly comes from the imprints of sentient beings. After some creatures refine the aura, they release it through magical powers. If things go on like this, all the aura particles have branded will."

"Some people think that aura is also a kind of life, but this kind of life is too small and special to be noticed by the world, so they mistakenly think that aura is lifeless."

"..."

The old man replied with a smile, telling out several mainstream speculations in this world about "why spirit energy has self-will".

He also said that this question is one of the eternal problems. I don’t know how many gods and wise men have been stumped, but no one can give an accurate answer.

If Xu Yan wanted to know the answer, he could only explore it by himself.

After all, there are too many unknowns and secrets in this world, even a fairy god can't understand the secrets, let alone a fairy god who is not a little martial arts saint.

As for the monks refining the spiritual energy, are there any dangers and hidden dangers?
The old man said frankly: "There must be hidden dangers. This hidden danger is mainly related to the will of the spiritual energy. If the spiritual energy cannot be completely refined, once the spiritual energy is out of control, you will be possessed by demons, and even your body will become demonized."

"There is even a saying that even if the spiritual energy is completely refined, the monk will be affected by the spiritual energy, and his personality will change to a certain extent, gradually losing his humanity, and giving birth to the obsession of longevity and seeking Tao."

"That's why many people think that spiritual energy is poisonous, poison is called Tao, and the poison of Tao is also poisonous!"

"The poison of the Dao?"

When Xu Yan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then shocked.

Because he suddenly thought of a very terrible thing.

It is said that the gods are indifferent and ruthless, and only seek the way.

But is this really the nature of fairy gods?

Don't be greedy for fame, don't love power, don't care about beauty and enjoyment, even the seven emotions and six desires have become dispensable, and spend long years in seclusion and practice, just to seek the Dao.

What is Tao?
Why ask?

After seeking the Tao to the end, I am afraid that even they themselves will not be able to give an answer.

Isn't this kind of behavior of seeking the Tao the poison of the Tao?

At the end of the pursuit, he directly turned himself into a puppet of the Dao, ruthless and desireless, only seeking the Tao for the sake of seeking the Tao.

Thinking of this, Xu Yan couldn't help but shudder.

Such a picture is really terrible.

Just thinking about it makes me shudder.
