Swallowed Star: Infinite Opportunities

Chapter 170: Spiritual Realm
After the meeting, Wang Cheng successfully kept "Hong" by his side. With him personally watching over it, it was impossible for the special features of the Earth to be exposed by Hong, at least in the short term.

And Wang Cheng's contribution was only 50 million Hunyuan units, and if the future Phantom King made things difficult for "Hong", Wang Cheng would appropriately support him.

Although 50 million Hunyuan units is not a small number, it is nothing to Wang Cheng!
Not only does Wang Cheng have billions of points at this moment, but his clone is expected to break through to the realm master level in the near future and will usher in a real explosion of strength. This little effort is not even a drop in the bucket.

As for supporting Hong, it was just a matter of convenience.

Although the Phantom King is not weak, and even because of her proficiency in soul illusion, her status among the kings is extremely high, but to Wang Cheng, it is nothing. Not to mention Wang Cheng's own identity, his exaggerated growth rate alone is enough to make him feel no pressure when facing the Phantom King!
Therefore, Wang Cheng naturally made the promise easily.

Of course, although Wang Cheng decided to support Hong in the future, he was not optimistic about the relationship between Hong and Ji Qing. After all, with Teacher Feng Wang interfering, even the strongest relationship would be broken up.
Of course, this was Hong’s business, and Wang Cheng didn’t want to interfere.

. . .

Under Wang Cheng's arrangement, "Hong" soon joined Wang Cheng's guard team.

Although wanting to learn the "spiritual realm" was just an excuse from Wang Cheng, Hong took it seriously. He felt that he had received too many benefits from Wang Cheng, so he was very concerned about this matter.

On the first day in office, Hong first gave Wang Cheng a general account of the three major realms of spiritual cultivation. Then he began to organize some of his experiences and many classics that were helpful for spiritual cultivation.

These classics are all cultural treasures left on Earth. Wang Cheng had heard of many of them before he traveled through time, but some seemed to be unique to this world.

Hong divides the spiritual realms into the first stage of "heart like a knife, heart like a mirror", the second stage of "innocent heart", and the third stage of "infinite heart, embracing everything"!
According to Hong, the reason why he was able to reach the state of "infinite heart, tolerant of everything" was largely due to the classics left by many ancestors on Earth, so he planned to let Wang Cheng study it systematically.

Hong compiled the books so carefully, and Wang Cheng felt embarrassed to let him down, so he read all the books compiled by the other party one by one.

With Wang Cheng's current brain width, he can read these classics extremely quickly and can recite them by heart in a flash!

Among these classics, Wang Cheng could only understand a small part of what Hong said. As for the remaining part, it cannot be said that he had no feeling at all, but it can only be said that it was almost like talking to a cow.

This is the invisible and intangible realm. If you can experience it yourself, you will understand it naturally without others telling you. If you cannot experience it yourself, it will be useless no matter how much others explain it!
This is also the fundamental reason why Hong said without hesitation that the spiritual realm cannot be taught!

Of course, Wang Cheng actually knew.

The three stages of the "spiritual realm" mentioned by Hong seem to be different in sequence, but in fact, they are equally powerful when you reach their deeper levels.

The only difference is that the difficulty of entering these three realms is different, and the strength of the mind after entering is also different. This gives Hong the illusion that they have a certain order of priority.

Wang Cheng did not keep this to himself. He shared it directly with Hong to see what insights this "spiritual master" could offer.

Of course, Wang Cheng did not directly raise this point of view, he just said it in an exploratory tone.
"Mr. Wang, your point of view is very interesting. The order of the three spiritual realms is just my personal opinion and the opinion of some ancient books. In fact, some ancient books do not mention such things at all."

Hong fell into deep thought. What Wang Cheng said seemed simple, but he had never thought about it in this regard before. If Wang Cheng didn't say it, he might have this idea in a short time.

But when Wang Cheng said this, countless thoughts suddenly appeared in Hong's mind. For a moment, Hong felt as if the road ahead was illuminated. "I was just talking casually. Do you think I'm right?" Wang Cheng asked.

"That's understandable!" Hong nodded slightly, and then he continued:

"However, even though these three spiritual realms have their own merits, the difficulty of entry is different after all. Therefore, the order of first 'heart like a mirror, heart like a knife', then 'heart of a pure child', and finally 'heart infinite, embracing everything' is also correct!"

"Ok!"

Wang Cheng nodded slightly.

Everyone has a different applicable realm, just like Luo Feng is suitable for the first stage, while Lei Shen is suitable for the second stage, and Hong is suitable for the third stage.

Luo Feng's situation is the easiest. After getting started, just keep going!
For people like Hong, it is unrealistic to expect to reach the state of "an infinite heart that tolerates everything" in one step, so one can first have "a heart as big as a mirror, a heart as sharp as a knife", then have "a heart of innocence", and finally step into the threshold of "a heart as big as an infinite heart that tolerates everything".

"Which stage do you think I am suitable for?" Wang Cheng asked Hong.

"The second stage?" Hong said directly.

"The second stage?" Wang Cheng shook his head slightly. Thor's innocent heart is good, but to be honest, Thor can act like a funny guy sometimes. Wang Cheng is different from him.

"Mr. Wang, everyone's 'innocent heart' is different!" Hong seemed to have guessed what Wang Cheng was thinking, and he said directly:
"The heart of a child can be upright like my second brother, or it can be treacherous and cunning, or it can be cold and ruthless, or it can love everything. In the final analysis, it depends on what each person's heart is like! Some big demons cultivate their hearts, but the headquarters can expect them to be like my second brother when they reach the 'heart of a child'!"

"Makes sense!"

Wang Cheng nodded slightly. This "spiritual master" Hong did have some substance. His analysis did have some substance.

"Of course, I know very little about you, Mr. Wang. What I said is just my guess based on what I saw. Which path is suitable for you, Mr. Wang, depends on you!" Hong said again.

"Ok!"

Wang Cheng nodded slightly, he understood what Hong meant.

What Hong Wufei wanted to say was that perhaps the Wang Cheng he saw was just Wang Cheng's disguise, and only Wang Cheng himself knew the real Wang Cheng, so this kind of thing required Wang Cheng to analyze it himself.

Hong’s words can be used as a reference for advice, but they cannot be used as a guideline.

Wang Cheng naturally understood this truth, and he did not intend to blindly believe what Hong said.

"The spiritual realm will be very important when I truly grow up. I must pay attention to it in the future!" This thought flashed through Wang Cheng's mind.
