The Heaven-shattering: Holding the Jade Disc of Creation

Chapter 92: Seven Emotions (Seeking follow-up reading and support)
Zhang Shuo could roughly guess some of the things happening in the outside world, and he knew about the surveillance of Landuo Temple from the beginning.

With the Jade Disc of Fortune, anyone who wants to spy on him will be discovered. The reason why Landuo Temple was able to monitor Zhang Shuo was because Zhang Shuo did it on purpose, in order to make the people of Landuo Temple let down their guard.

"Most of the Buddhist cultivation scriptures are physical cultivation methods and spiritual cultivation methods. The scriptures for tempering the physical body are not very useful to me, but the spiritual cultivation methods are relatively lacking. I can absorb the essence and create my own spiritual cultivation method."

Zhang Shuo created a clone to deceive the Landuo Temple, while his real body entered the ancient world of chaos to practice.

Buddhism cultivates soul power mainly by cutting off worldly thoughts, achieving a clear mind, a focused heart, and a pure soul.

Buddhism believes that people have five poisons, six desires, and seven emotions, which cloud the human soul.

The five poisons are: greed, anger, ignorance, delusion, and arrogance;

Six desires: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind;

Seven emotions: joy, anger, worry, sadness, fear, surprise, and thought;
Only by eradicating the five poisons, eliminating the six desires, and abandoning the seven emotions can the four elements be empty, the six senses be pure, the soul be reborn in nirvana, free from dust and dirt.

"But people who practice cultivation have great desires. Isn't the desire to seek the truth also a desire? If you cut off all emotions and desires and cut off the worldly affairs, then what's the point of practicing cultivation? When you die, everything will be empty."

"The seven emotions and six desires can be separated, but they cannot be abandoned. Stripping away the seven emotions and six desires can make the mind clear and eliminate distracting thoughts, which is conducive to cultivation. However, being too pure and desireless will make you lose the desire to cultivate, which is not conducive to cultivation."

"If there is a scripture that can control the separation of the seven emotions and six desires, and cultivate in a state of no desire and no thought."

Zhang Shuo began to read the Buddhist scriptures he had obtained. Among the large number of scriptures on spiritual cultivation, most of them were about severing emotions and cutting off worldly affairs.

The most prominent of these is the Sutra of Eight Extinctions. It says in the sutra that if sentient beings recite it more often and always respect the Bodhisattvas of the Eight Extinctions, they will be able to be free from emotion.

Zhang Shuo constructed the Seven Emotions Sutra based on the method of leaving emotions in the Eight Extinction Sutra.

The seven emotions are the concrete manifestation of both emotional and spiritual strength. When emotions become strong to a certain degree, even if the strength is weak, it can burst out with terrible power.

For example, wronged souls and evil spirits were originally just the souls of ordinary people, but after suffering injustice and torture, the power of hatred was aroused, the emotions of hatred turned into resentment, and the soul power increased dramatically and turned into evil spirits.

The seven emotions: joy, anger, worry, sadness, fear, surprise, and thought; they are the reactions of human spiritual will to external things.

People who practice cultivation emphasize keeping their minds clear and having few desires. Having few desires means reducing the six desires, and keeping a clear mind means maintaining a balance among the seven emotions.

When emotions are out of control, the spiritual will will fall into chaos and the practice will go astray.

Zhang Shuo prepared to cut out the Seven Emotions, transform into the Seven Emotions God, and construct the Seven Emotions Array. This would not only stabilize his own emotions at any time, but could also be used to deprive the enemy of their emotions.

The seven emotions can correspond to the five internal organs of the human body, or to the seven stars in the celestial sphere. The seven emotions are placed on the seven stars, which are transformed into the seven emotions.

The seven stars are Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang.
The seven acupoints in the human body are Tanzhong, Tianmu, Niwan, Jiaji, Mingmen, Dantianqi and Haidi.

Zhang Shuo used the secret art of separation from the Eight Destruction Scriptures as a basis and combined many scriptures to create the secret art - the Seven Deadly Slashes.

When Zhang Shuo used the "Seven Absolute Slashes" to cut off the seven emotions, he discovered that he had only cut off some of the emotions and could not completely cut off the seven emotions. Thus, he could not complete the Seven Emotions Formation.

Just as Zhang Shuo was thinking, the Jade Disc of Creation appeared, and the traces of Tao on the jade disc became apparent. Six illusory worlds appeared, and then the world power of the ancient chaotic world was poured into these six phantoms, and six slightly condensed worlds appeared. The six worlds exuded the artistic conception of reincarnation, the rotation of heaven and earth, and the six reincarnations.

Then the six paths of reincarnation turned into a black hole, and the endless meaning of reincarnation spread, as if waiting for something.

Zhang Shuo understood something, and then his soul left his body and entered the black hole of reincarnation.

The six reincarnations wash away the memories of living beings, and Zhang Shuo has been reincarnated for hundreds of times. During these hundreds of reincarnations, Zhang Shuo has tasted all the sufferings of the world, but he has always kept his original heart unchanged and his determination to seek the truth has been firm. The hundreds of reincarnations have not only not caused Zhang Shuo's original heart to sink, but have washed away all the lead and dust, and his immortal heart has begun to emerge.

Not long after, a divine light came out of the reincarnation black hole, entered Zhang Shuo's body, and his true spirit returned.

Zhang Shuo opened his eyes, filled with all kinds of complex emotions, his expression changed unpredictably, and all seven emotions, joy, anger, sorrow, fear, shock and thought, flooded his mind.

The emotional memories of a hundred reincarnations returned, and Zhang Shuo's own emotions were completely aroused, and endless emotional chaos broke out. If it weren't for the reincarnations of a hundred lives that made Zhang Shuo's immortal heart begin to form, he would have gone astray at this moment.

"It's now!"

Zhang Shuo shouted softly, and first suppressed all the emotions in his heart except joy, and then used all his strength to activate the "Seven Killings". The pure thoughts and will turned into the Seven Killings Sword, slashing at the joy that was about to overflow from Zhang Shuo's heart.

In an instant, Zhang Shuo's mind went blank, and the endless joy in his heart was cut out. The joy turned into tangible red smoke, lingering around Zhang Shuo.

Zhang Shuo was able to collect and suppress it, and a large amount of joy was collected and turned into an illusory human figure.

Without the joy, Zhang Shuo's emotions eased a lot.

He began to release the suppressed anger in his heart, and as the anger gathered, endless rage and murderous intent spread.

When the anger reached its peak, Zhang Shuo decisively used the "Seven Deadly Swords" to cut out the anger.

Endless anger turned into orange smoke, which he collected and suppressed.

In this way, Zhang Shuo released and cut out the remaining seven emotions one by one, and the actual smoke transformed from the five emotions was suppressed one by one.

Now that Zhang Shuo has lost all his emotions, he feels neither happy nor sad. He is in an absolute state of rationality, with clear thoughts and quick thinking.

His comprehension, which was already strong enough, became even stronger under absolute rationality. Various scriptures, secret techniques, and insights into the laws were being quickly analyzed and understood.

If you maintain this state during cultivation, your progress will be twice as effective with half the effort.

Zhang Shuo looked at the seven suppressed smoke streams in front of him. These seven smoke streams corresponded to seven colors, which were the concrete manifestations of the seven emotions.

"That's not enough. We need to find a way to transform the seven emotions into gods and build the Seven Emotions Soul Locking Array in our body."

Zhang Shuo began to circulate the Qi and blood in his body, opening up the acupoints on the human body corresponding to the seven stars.

"Boom!"

A large amount of Qi and blood in the sea of ​​Qi and blood transformed into a chaotic dragon, rushing towards the seven acupoints in the body. Under the continuous flushing of Qi and blood, seven loud noises came from the body, and the seven acupoints were opened.

Afterwards, Zhang Shuo guided the seven emotions smoke into the seven acupoints. As soon as the seven emotions smoke approached the corresponding acupoints, they were actively attracted into the acupoints.

After the seven emotions smoke entered the acupoints, it was gathered by an inexplicable force. Then the seven acupoints generated a great attraction and began to absorb a large amount of qi and blood and chaotic divine power.

Zhang Shuo did not hesitate to supply the seven major acupoints continuously. With the supply of a large amount of chaotic divine power and qi and blood power, seven divine fetuses were formed in the acupoints with the seven emotions smoke as the main body.

Subsequently, the seven acupoints gave birth to seven incarnations, namely the demon of joy, the demon of anger, the demon of worry, the demon of thought, the demon of sadness, the demon of fear, and the demon of shock.

The seven inner demons control the power of the seven major acupoints in the body, and build the Seven Emotions Soul Locking Array in the body based on the Big Dipper Array.
