Chapter 779: Dao and Principle, Becoming a Saint on the Spot
Zhou Qing pondered for a moment. He understood the implication of Dean Wen's words.

If there is no inheritance and if one does not practice the Way of Literature, then the Seven Apertures Heart is, if not completely useless, then it is just a name.

Some innate supernatural powers correspond to the soul, and some correspond to martial arts, and they do not affect each other.

The Seven-Aperture Heart corresponds to the Way of Literature and the Great Qi. The role it can play in this area is at least as great as the role of the Nirvana Bone in the cultivation of the soul and the martial arts.

This is a very powerful thing. It was a big deal that Brother Shu didn't cheat him in the first place.

The question is whether we can take the right path.

The meaning of what Dean Wen said to Zhou Qing at this time was very clear.

Now, on the surface, only the Academy of All Saints has the relevant inheritance in the world.

Perhaps the inheritance of the saints is still hidden somewhere, but if we can't find it, it's no different from having nothing.

"Zhou Qing, the academy has some knowledge of the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart and is well aware of the potential of this sacred heart."

"And because of the special nature of this sacred heart, I can guarantee that no other sect in the world knows as much as the academy."

Dean Wen smiled and said:

"At the same time, I will not hide it from you. The academy values ​​you very much. The Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart is of great significance to the All Saints Academy. It is worth the academy's full efforts to cultivate you."

"If the academy discovered you first, you must have been accepted as a disciple by Ming Sheng by now."

If you discovered "me" too early, you wouldn't even look down on me, let alone accept me as a disciple...

Zhou Qing thought for a moment and asked, "Dean Wen, excuse me, has the Seven-Aperture Heart ever appeared in the All Saints Academy before?"

"What did that senior achieve in the end?"

Dean Wen looked at Zhou Qing, thought for a few breaths and then said:
"This matter has always been a secret of our Wen family and has never been revealed to outsiders. But you are special after all, so it doesn't hurt to know it."

"But you must remember that once you know this, you must not disclose it to others."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing made repeated assurances, saying that he kept his mouth shut.

"You should know that the Wen family tradition is passed down from our ancestor, the Sage Wen."

Zhou Qing nodded. He knew this. Anyway, that's what the Wen family said. However, whether it was true or not was hard to say and there was no way to verify it.

The thing about the saints is too long ago. Who can be sure whether the bloodline of the saints is real?
The Wen family is in charge of the Academy of All Saints, which is the only place in the world where the literary and Taoist traditions are passed down. He said that he is the descendant of the Sage of Literature, and other Taoist sects have no angle to refute him.

Do you want to refute?

Can you withstand the magical weapon of the Academy of All Saints?
"There are two sages in the ancient books of the Wen family who possessed a seven-orifice mind."

"One is the literary sage ancestor, and the other is the true sage ancestor."

Zhou Qing was shocked. He didn't expect that he could trace it back to these two people.

The Saint of Literature is the chief among all saints.

The true saint, the last saint.

Moreover, not only is Wensheng the leader among all saints in status and strength, he is also the first sage born in the era of saints.

These two saints, one at the beginning and the other at the end, represent the beginning and the end of the path of sages respectively.

The Academy of All Saints claims to continue the tradition of the Saints and is known as the disciple of the Saints. Therefore, every ancient saint is a patriarch in the Academy of All Saints.

Therefore, it is reasonable for President Wen to be called the True Saint Patriarch.

I actually have the same heart as these two?

Zhou Qing really didn't expect that the Seven-Aperture Heart could have such a glorious past in this world.

There were also legends about this kind of divine heart in his previous life, and he had heard of it, but that was his previous life after all. Now that the world had changed, he certainly couldn't apply it mechanically.

After being surprised, Zhou Qing felt relieved. Since the Seven-Aperture Heart was related to such a person, then he...

Stable.

Zhou Qing immediately realized what position he currently held in the Academy of All Saints.

Just having the same heart as Wensheng is enough to make the All Saints College give it the highest level of attention.

Some of his previous ideas might actually have the possibility of being realized, and might even yield extraordinary results!
Dean Wen did not hide anything and said frankly:
"After knowing this, Zhou Qing, you should also be able to understand the significance of the Seven Apertures Heart to the academy."

"An elder of the Wen family once invited you to join the academy, but you refused. I guess you haven't changed your mind now, so I won't say anything more at this time to avoid causing you trouble."

"But Zhou Qing, you have to understand that the Seven-Aperture Heart represents the hope of the Way of Literature. It is crucial to whether the Way of Sages can reappear."

"So the academy will not give up. We will go to Xuandu Temple to discuss your matter, but I also want to ask you, what do you think of the academies and the way of literature?"

Dean Wen looked serious and his eyes were sincere.

He did not hide the value of the Seven-Aperture Heart from Zhou Qing. Instead, he directly pointed out the importance of this divine heart.

If it is a negotiation, this is actually unqualified, and may allow the other party to raise the price by relying on their own importance.

But the problem is that now the two sides are not negotiating, but merely having a harmonious, instructive Q&A session. It is impossible for Zhou Qing to really think that he is important to others and act recklessly.

After all, this is a world where power is supreme.

Dean Wen's actions fully demonstrated the sincerity and intentions of All Saints College.

Therefore, Zhou Qing was not willing to fool others at this time.

"To be honest with you, Dean, I have a very good impression of All Saints College."

Zhou Qing paused, smiled, and said:

"If I talk about how powerful the All Saints Academy is and how kind the people here are, it would be a bit of a compliment and superficial. So I'll talk about other things."

"After entering the territory of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, I passed through the three roads of Xiyuan, Dongyuan and Zhongtu, and saw a lot of Eastern Zhou scenery. I like the current environment of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty very much."

Zhou Qing was lost in thought. “The Haoran magic formation protects every city and guards the people, allowing them to live and work in peace and happiness as much as possible, free from the calamity of evil spirits.”

"Every year, in academies across the country, monks perform Taoist magic for the people, hoping for good weather and fertile fields."

"Children in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty could go to school as long as they wanted, and they could have enough food to eat during the school hours..."

"This is good, really good. I like this kind of environment and I agree with this approach."

Some things that happened in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty made Zhou Qing feel as if he had returned to his previous life and felt very familiar with it.

Zhou Qing has been a human being in two lives, and the memory span of his previous life is much longer than the three years of his current experience. It goes without saying which life has a greater impact on him.

When he wakes up in the middle of the night, he will recall everything about his past life.

So after seeing that Dong Zhou provided children with free opportunities to go to school, he felt deeply moved and a sense of familiarity came over him.

It is truly precious to be able to feel such a sense of familiarity in a different world.

Dean Wen's eyes lit up after hearing Zhou Qing's words. He laughed and said:
"Haha, good, good!"

"Zhou Qing, you are indeed the best successor to the Way of Saints. The Seven-Aperture Heart appearing in you is truly God's will!"

"What is a saint? Those who are high and mighty are not saints!"

"After becoming a saint, our ancestor Wensheng continued to teach the people and protect the families. He never left the common people."

"To put it simply, if the people can have enough food to eat, the children can have someone to rely on, and the elderly can have a place to go, then that is a saint!"

"We can't do such a thing, and even the All Saints back then couldn't be perfect. But now that you can have such an idea, no matter what you think of the All Saints Academy, it doesn't matter. Zhou Qing, remember, don't lose your heart now!"

"This world has no shortage of powerful practitioners, but it lacks powerful people."

After some practitioners reach a high position, their mentality and thoughts are no longer that of a human being.

Zhou Qing said solemnly: "Zhou Qing remembers the dean's teachings."

Dean Wen looked at him with shining eyes, filled with great satisfaction and fondness, and wished he could immediately accept him as a disciple of the All Saints Academy.

But unfortunately, the final decision still needs to be discussed with Xuandu Temple.

"Zhou Qing, you have been using Haoran Qi for more than two years. Have you ever tried to cultivate Haoran Qi?"

Is this an attempt to give me some advice?
A thought flashed through his mind, and Zhou Qing did not remain silent, and immediately said:

"I have."

Dean Wen smiled and said, "Do you mind telling me about your gains?"

"It's not a big deal, please correct me, Dean."

Zhou Qing said: "After cultivating the Haoran Qi, I have made many attempts, and finally found that without inheritance, my Haoran Qi will increase due to two reasons."

"The first method of growth is to rely on time. Although I don't understand the extent of this growth, I do notice that my Haoran Qi increases every once in a while."

Dean Wen nodded and motioned Zhou Qing to continue.

"The second method is to study the scriptures and learn their meanings. Compared with relying on natural growth over time, this method is more proactive, but it also has limitations."

"The more times I recite a sutra and the longer I study it, the improvement it can bring me will become smaller and smaller until it disappears."

“And I found that different sutras can bring me different improvements.”

Finally, Zhou Qing concluded:

"But no matter which method you use, the efficiency is not high. It cannot make the Haoran Qi grow rapidly in a short period of time. The growth is quite slow." "Because the two methods you mentioned are the most primitive Haoran Qi cultivation methods."

Dean Wen spoke and gave instructions:

"As time goes by, your noble spirit will grow. You haven't figured out the key reason. What makes your noble spirit grow is not time, but your experiences and your gradually increasing knowledge!"

"As you travel the world, you see more scenery, meet people of all kinds, and understand more truths. These experiences change your state of mind. These truths are the main reason for the growth of your noble spirit."

"This is also the reason why your study of the scriptures has led to an increase in your noble spirit."

After hearing this, Zhou Qing felt as if he had suddenly been enlightened, and instantly understood some of the essence of Haoran Qi.

"In addition to these two methods, there is another primitive method of cultivating the righteousness, which is to debate with others."

Dean Wen smiled and said, "The more you debate the scriptures, the clearer they become, and the more you argue about the truth, the more you will understand. In the process of debating scriptures with others, your noble spirit and Taoism will naturally be improved."

Zhou Qing was slightly startled, then shook his head, "I've never tried this before."

Either they go to the street and find someone to argue with, or they engage in a debate.

Doing that is more like cursing...

"There are many primitive methods of cultivating Haoran Qi, but these three have the lowest threshold and are the easiest to achieve."

Dean Wen said: "The cultivation of the noble spirit can be summed up in two words, which are..."

"Tao and reason."

"Understand the truth and understand the principles!"

"Grasping these two words means grasping the core of the righteousness. Even if you don't have the inheritance, you can still try to practice around this core."

"The ancestor of the literary saint did not inherit the righteousness either. He did not even know how to practice. However, he spent his entire life studying and pursuing the word truth. In the end, he realized the truth and became a saint in one day."

"..."

The descendants of the Sage of Literature also said so. Could it be that the Sage of Literature was really so awesome back then?

Becoming a saint in one day, isn't that an exaggeration?

But no matter whether the legend of the Sage of Literature is true or false, Dean Wen is now giving Zhou Qing some useful information.

True transmission can be conveyed in one sentence, while false transmission can reach ten thousand books. Nothing is more true than this.

Tao and reason! The core of culture and Taoism!
If you can master these two words, then even without inheritance, you can still practice Haoran Qi.

At most, it is less efficient.

But this sounds a bit mysterious.

“Learn more, travel more, think more, and see more of this world.”

Dean Wen said earnestly:

"No matter what time it is, practitioners of the Way of Literature should never close their eyes, and they must not give up thinking or abandoning learning."

"Thank you for your guidance, Dean."

Dean Wen shook his head and said, "It's not really advice, just some idle chat."

"Dean, I have a question."

"Tell me, and see if I can help you understand."

"I have a heart with seven orifices. If I can cultivate my noble energy successfully..."

Zhou Qing asked sincerely:

"Then do you think I have the hope of becoming a saint right away?"

"..."

Dean Wen looked at Zhou Qing, seemed to be hesitant to speak, and finally sighed.

"Practice well and don't think about those unnecessary things."

"Let's not talk about the problems of today's world. Even in the Age of Saints, becoming a saint instantly... is a mysterious thing."

If there is, President Wen is not in a position to say it, as it would be considered as slandering the ancestors.

In fact, the descendants of the Wen family today find it mysterious and outrageous that the Sage Wen could have become a saint instantly.

But there is no way. The things of the ancestors were passed down by the ancestors, so the Wen family certainly cannot refute them.

No matter what you think in your heart, you must express your firm belief when you speak it.

Seeing that Dean Wen was not particularly shy about asking these questions, Zhou Qing's curiosity immediately increased, and he asked again:
"Then, Dean, what is this legend about becoming a saint instantly?"

"This should be related to the cultivation of literature and Taoism."

Dean Wen said: "If a mortal mastered the righteousness, his literary cultivation would eventually be comparable to that of an immortal. Then, after enlightenment, he might be able to complete all the accumulation before reaching the immortal realm in one day, and then rely on his literary cultivation to directly survive the immortal tribulation."

"Of course, this is just speculation."

"But the cultivation of Haoran Qi is different from the cultivation of soul and martial arts. You also know this. The ancestor of Wensheng became a saint instantly because his soul and martial arts had reached that level. It is very likely that he used Wensheng to reflect on himself."

Zhou Qing was thoughtful after hearing this. He suddenly felt that it seemed possible to become a saint instantly.

Because he thought of another kind of power.

“I feel like mental strength is about the same amount of power.”

"Correct."

Dean Wen nodded, "And speaking of mental strength, we have to mention the Heart Saint Patriarch."

"The Heart Saint Patriarch has mastered both the righteousness and the heart power at the same time. It is said that his heart power is even more advanced."

"In fact, legends such as becoming a saint in one day are not uncommon in the Age of Saints. Although the outside world doesn't know much about the Saints, there are many records of them in the academy."

"Almost every saint and sage has such a legend. After they cultivated the righteousness, they all achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven. The only difference was how much they improved their realm in one day."

"Like the Heart Saint Patriarch, it is said that he also became a saint on the spot like the Literature Saint Patriarch, but he relied on his mental strength to cultivate himself."

"There is also the Dharma Saint Patriarch. It is said that he also became an immortal in one day. Although he is not as good as the Literature Saint Patriarch and the Heart Saint Patriarch, he is still amazing."

Zhou Qing was speechless. How could he attain enlightenment in one day, ascend to invincibility, and almost become the standard for all saints?
If you fail to become an immortal or a saint right away, would you be too embarrassed to greet others in the Age of Saints?

You are such a good braggart!

But after thinking about it carefully, Zhou Qing was no longer sure whether these legends were really exaggerations.

He has not inherited the Haoran Qi and doesn't know much about it, but he still has some say in terms of mental strength.

The mental effort put into the entry stage can be of certain assistance to the Venerable.

The mental strength at the Liuli level can even play a certain auxiliary role in the two realms of heaven and earth.

The level of colored glaze is not the limit of one’s mental strength.

So, if there really is a mortal or a low-level practitioner who possesses mental power and cultivates it to a level comparable to that of a saint...

What will happen?
Perhaps some legends are not fictional.

When Zhou Qing thought of this, his heart suddenly warmed up.

Different from martial arts and the soul which require step-by-step training, mental strength and righteousness are more mysterious and require more enlightenment, and it is possible to improve them quickly.

If he could do something like this, then wouldn't it be possible for him to feed back his soul and martial arts with his mental strength and righteousness?
"Dean, what are the problems in today's world that you just mentioned?"

Zhou Qing asked again: "Is there something wrong with the world?"

To be honest, I had very few opportunities to talk with someone of Dean Wen's level, especially since Dean Wen was so kind.

Therefore, Zhou Qing must seize this opportunity to learn more about information that is difficult to access at his level.

"Many people outside doubt that the Saints are just legends, fictional characters, and do not exist, but I can tell you that the Saints really existed."

Dean Wen said: "But the current environment of heaven and earth is no longer able to produce people of that level."

"That's the problem, but I don't know why."

Zhou Qing was silent. He had long felt that the legends of the saints were too outrageous and did not match the legends of immortals at all.

Is there something wrong with the world...

Dean Wen glanced at Zhou Qing and said:

"You don't need to think too much about these things now. Just walk on the path ahead."

“Zhou Qing, you have a mind of seven orifices and are the hope of the Way of Literature. Although you are not a disciple of the All Saints Academy now, the academy also hopes that you can go further. After all, you have cultivated the great spirit and are a part of this great Way of Literature.”

"The saints taught everyone in their time. Anyone who is willing can learn the way of the saints. The academy is also willing to pass on some of its heritage to you now."

Dean Wen looked solemn and said, "No matter what the outcome of the discussion between the academy and Xuandu Temple is, the academy will not take back the inheritance given to you at this time."

The All Saints College has really invested a lot of money, and its sincerity is unparalleled.

Spending a large sum of money to have a child!
