Destiny is ashes

Chapter 409: Nature as the Teacher, Enlightenment Again (33)

"This... is the reason why nature can gather all kinds of spiritual energy between heaven and earth? The billions of qi in heaven and earth are filtered as a net, and finally the purest qi is precipitated and condensed into various spiritual minerals and rare objects..."

If it were an ordinary cultivator, what he would think of at this moment might be to imitate the function of the pure spiritual power of the demon pill and filter and refine his own spiritual energy.

If a warrior is a genius, he might be able to do this and develop a secret method that can strengthen the body and replenish the energy.

But this secret method is not uncommon in Huaixu.

Even the process of continuous practice of many Qi-nourishing methods is essentially the same as the method of refining spiritual energy with demon pills.

This kind of understanding is nothing more than reinventing the wheel, but it is indeed worthy of praise and deserves to be called "genius".

This is the first level of understanding.

But at this moment, looking at Xiao Cang's tiny demon pill, An Jing had a deeper understanding in his heart: "Humans and demons all learn from nature."

"Humans imitate the principles of nature, so they can cultivate qi and become the Tao; monsters imitate the forms of nature, so they can transform into the law of heaven and earth."

"Although the demon pill of the demon spirit path looks like a pill, in essence, it is a small spiritual vein forged by the demon spirit in its body. The spiritual veins in nature are not naturally formed, but the spiritual energy has been gathering and precipitating for a long time since the creation of the world, so that a specific spiritual vein will condense in a specific location."

"And the way of warriors is quite similar to this. The five great divine powers condense the martial veins in the body, connecting the sky and the earth. Perhaps this is also a derivative of the demon spirit method..."

"No! Although it is a level deeper than the initial understanding, this is definitely not the original intention of demon spirit magic and martial arts!"

Although he had comprehended the second level, which was deeper than that of ordinary creative talents, An Jing still denied his own ideas without hesitation.

His brows were furrowed, his eyes flashing, and he observed the demon pill more deeply, observing the changes in the spiritual energy of the world around the demon pill.

At the same time, An Jing's body was filled with spiritual energy, which was faintly in harmony with the surrounding heaven and earth, causing Huo Qing and Tie Shou, who were originally discussing the actions of the past two days, to come over and check on the situation. Fu Xie and Xiao Cang were also amazed to see that An Jing's aura had now completely merged with the surrounding nature.

Xiao Cang subconsciously softened his legs and feet, and respectfully raised the demon pill in his hand - the aura emanating from An Jing at this moment even surpassed that of the mountain master he had seen in the past... It was more grand than that, and closer to the essence of heaven and earth!
——An Jing, have you attained enlightenment?!

"Second enlightenment?"

Compared to Huo Qing and Tie Shou's surprise, Fu Xie was even more surprised: "An Jing actually attained enlightenment? Just by copying the demon pill?"

"Is it the feedback of destiny? Or is it the promotion of luck? No... This, this is the first time he has realized the truth... This is entirely his own talent!"

"Is this An Jing's realization through his own understanding, and he has entered the state of enlightenment?!"

Fu Xie found it unbelievable, but it was indeed the fact.

At this moment, An Jing's thinking became more and more free, and countless inspirations and ideas burst out from his heart. They were completely independent of fate or any other things, and were simply the comprehension and expression of his own spirit: "That's right! The simple demon pill imitates the formation of natural mineral veins, while the truly advanced demon pill imitates something more grand, such as a sacred mountain, a blessed land, or a cave! Therefore, there are hundreds of Qi, thousands of Qi, and tens of thousands of Qi." "This is also the prototype of martial arts, simulating a sacred mountain and a blessed land, and turning into a mountain gate after death!"

"But what if it's higher? What is the most brilliant demon pill that imitates the natural form?"

"When the heavens and the earth were created, all things came into being..."

He murmured, "Yes, that's it - the demon pill imitates the process of the creation of the world, the settling of all spirits, and finally becoming one and condensing into shape!"

"In other words, the true meaning of the Way of Demonic Spirits is not to imitate the simple 'refining and purification' of the first level, nor the 'gathering of all spirits' of the second level of spiritual veins, nor the 'perfect integration' of the third level of blessed land and cave heaven, but the process of 'all things taking shape' after the creation of heaven and earth!"

"And what about the true spirit?"

“Before I saw this flower, it and my heart were both in silence; when I saw this flower, it was colored by the color of my heart…”

"Without spiritual perception, how can we call it form? Between heaven and earth, the mind that appeared with the first form is the [True Spirit]!"

"Yes, at the beginning of the world, the first living being born was the 'True Spirit'... So that's it!"

At this moment, An Jing suddenly realized: “The true spirit blood of the demon spirit has never been obtained by refining blood and going back to the ancestors!”

"It is a process of cultivating through the demon pill, with the demon pill as the core hub, restoring the state of 'the beginning of the creation of the world' in the body, allowing one's own physique to slowly transform towards the original true spirit!"

"And the Ancestral Dragon is [created out of nothing], which is exactly what the name suggests - the first true spirit with a physical form is not the process of 'the nothing before the creation of heaven and earth, gradually giving birth to something'? The Ancestral Dragon is the ancestor of the true spirits of the Huaixu Realm, who was born with this destiny. Its destiny is to give birth to more true spirits by virtue of its essence that is closest to heaven and earth!"

"Haha! The essence of the 'demon spirit bloodline' that people often talk about is that it does not rely on bloodline at all, but relies on wisdom! Even a squirrel, as long as it is smart and diligent enough, can collect all kinds of energy, regulate nature, and then imitate the primordial state at the beginning of the creation of the world, slowly transform itself into a 'true spirit', and condense a drop of true spirit blood!"

Of course, there are also demon spirits who are born with the blood of their ancestors’ true spirits. They are born with the Tao and possess magical powers from the beginning of heaven and earth. But if they do not comprehend the essence of the way of demon spirits, they will stagnate here, bound by their bloodlines and unable to make any progress!

At this moment, An Jing took out the "True Explanation of the Supreme Heaven and Man" from the Taixu magic weapon - unfortunately, the relevant books related to the "True Dragon's Spine" had not yet been taken from You Ruhui.

But it doesn't matter, having it at this moment is enough.

"When three of us travel together, there must be a teacher. The heaven, earth and nature are all teaching materials... The way of the demon spirit and demon pill of this little Cangsu mole can also give me great enlightenment!"

An Jing was in a very good mood at the moment, and his mind was more agile than ever before. He flipped through this profound book of the Heaven's Will Demon Sect, and understood the mysteries in it at a speed beyond imagination: "Demon spirit method, immortal formation method and alchemy method, as well as body refining method. Method of refining equipment, all kinds of ways that do not completely rely on pure spiritual energy, finally converged into the current Huaixu destiny martial arts."

"The Demon Spirit Method imitates the shape of heaven and earth, restores the beginning of creation, and condenses the process of true spirit blood. It is similar to martial arts, but different - because martial arts simulates not only the creation of heaven and earth, but also the formation of heaven and earth, the operation of heaven and earth, and even... the final collapse of heaven and earth!"
