If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 784: The Spiritual Realm of the Thirty-Three Heavens
When Gou Jiao heard that "Master Radish" was about to part with him, he felt a little flustered and reluctant.

In more than two months of getting along, although he never called her "Master" and never gave up the "Immortality" in his heart, and she never let him call her "Master", she was indeed the mentor and friend who had the greatest influence on him in his life.

However, his minor success in the "Art of Righteousness" raised his spiritual realm significantly.

As soon as the panic arose in my heart, it was dispelled by the light of wisdom.

He regained his composure, thought carefully for a moment, and a look of enlightenment gradually appeared on his face.

"It is indeed time to say goodbye." He said slowly: "Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. I have walked too long and too far.

There's not much point in going on.

Not only will I gain nothing, but I may also regret it for the rest of my life.”

Gou Jiao sighed deeply, with a hint of longing and guilt in his eyes and face, and continued to murmur: “The righteousness hall in my soul has illuminated almost all the shadows in my heart.

There were only a few shadows that could not be driven away by the light, but became clearer and clearer in the light.

I should have realized my mistake earlier and taken the initiative to say goodbye to the Taoist priest.

Alas, I am still too greedy.

I covet the guidance of the Taoist priest and the ethereal way of immortality, and I subconsciously ignore the truth that I have already recognized in my heart. "

Xiao Yu smiled slightly and asked, "What's the reason? Which shadows can't be dispelled by light?"

Gou Jiao said: "The truth is, if you can't even be a good human, how can you be qualified to be an immortal?

The shadow is Uncle Zhang who raised me.

I thought that the Gou family's immense fortune would be enough to repay his kindness in bringing me up and his loyalty to the Gou family.

But if money could really satisfy him, he wouldn't have worked so diligently to help me shine for the family, and never had the intention of overstepping his bounds.

And there is Zhao, who was abandoned by me after our wedding night.

A mere three thousand gold coins was a disgrace to her reputation and friendship.

Finally, there are the children I have never met.

I can’t even raise my own son, how can I have the nerve to aspire to be an immortal who saves the world?

I said before that when I become an immortal, I will naturally be able to save Uncle Zhang and my parents who passed away early, and free them from suffering forever.

The foundation for setting high ambitions is to take every step ahead steadily.

Children being filial to their parents, fathers educating their children, and husbands taking care of their wives are all responsibilities that mortals can and should do. If mortals can't even do these things well, how can they become immortals?
Being an immortal cannot be easier than being a mortal."

Xiao Yu nodded with a smile, and praised: "Gou Sheng, you have finally achieved the intermediate level of the Righteous Qi Art. The only thing you lack is time and experience to achieve the ultimate level."

Wisdom and light naturally protect the body, making it difficult for evil spirits to invade. This is only a side effect of "The Art of Righteousness" and not the main goal of practice.

Finding your true self and living clearly and steadily are the true effects of the state of mind of "original nature is bright".

If she hadn't been leading him by the bamboo pole, Gou Jiao would have wanted to bow to her, perform the etiquette of a disciple, and thank her sincerely.

However, he knew very well that she didn't care about this and didn't need this.

"Master, where are you going next? North, south, east or west?" Gou Jiao asked.

Xiao Yu said, "Probably go south, to the Yangtze River and Huai River area."

Gou Jiao asked again: "The Taoist priest came with me to explore the origin of cause and effect. Now you haven't found the result, right?
I have a suggestion. I want to go back to Pingxiang County, Julu County, which is currently in the south of Hejian County.

Taoist priest, why don't you go back to your hometown with me? Perhaps you can gain something.

At least let me treat the Taoist priest well once, to repay the Taoist priest's teachings to me over the past few months."

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Even if you don't say it, even if you still decide to wander the wilderness and continue to search for immortals and seek the way.

I will also go back to Pingxiang for you to see your family."

She is still not sure about the root cause of the relationship between the two.

But after a few months of getting along, she established a new causal relationship with him.

This connection helps her figure out things related to him.

For example, if he suddenly died one day, she would have a sudden inspiration and would be inspired to do something.

At this moment, Xiaoyu had a vague guess about the inexplicable whim when they first met. The answer was in Pingxiang, in someone in Gou Jiao's family.

The next morning, Gou Jiao woke up under the eaves of a farmer's house.

He lifted up the rice straw on his body and saw the red sun rising in the east. He first gathered the straw and tied it up and placed it on the haystack outside the yard before starting to practice boxing on the threshing ground.

It is not a magical martial art, but just "Yu's Tai Chi" for exercising the body and activating the Qi and blood.

It is not a simple repetition of the Tai Chi learned in college in the previous life.

This is the Tai Chi created by Xiaoyu. It truly contains the "true meaning of Tai Chi" and can adjust the yin and yang energies in the body.

As long as you keep exercising, you will be free from illness and live a long life.

After practicing two sets of Yu-style Tai Chi, the "radish Taoist priest" wearing a clean blue cloth Taoist robe has completed today's morning lessons and returned to the farmyard.

This is also the habit and tacit understanding of the two.

In order to explore the mysteries, they would go to remote places. If they came across a dilapidated temple or house, they would naturally go in and stay overnight. If there were no abandoned houses nearby, they would go to the villagers to "beg for alms".

Xiaoyu is a wandering Taoist priest, so it is normal for him to beg for alms.

If the farmers' conditions are good, they will leave an empty room for them and provide quilts; if the farmers' conditions are average, they will live in the woodshed, stable, or pigpen; if the farmers are poor or do not trust them, they will take shelter under the eaves or at the base of the wall from the wind and rain.

It doesn't matter where Xiaoyu is.

She traveled thousands of miles in the open air, but her Taoist robe was always clean.

It doesn't matter if he has to make friends with someone who is not good enough, he has really practiced it. As long as he doesn't starve to death, freeze to death, or get eaten by evil spirits, he can endure any hardship.

After leaving a copper coin for the farmer as "accommodation fee" under the eaves, the two men set out again holding the bamboo pole.

"Gou Sheng, one of the main reasons why I am parting ways with you is that you have already completed learning the Righteous Qi Sutra, and I feel that there is nothing left for me to teach you.

The rest of the journey will be based on you.

If you want to learn anything or find any deficiencies, I will try my best to help you.

This is my last lesson for you before we part ways." Xiao Yu said.

Gou Jiao thought for a moment and asked, "Master, what do you think of the realm after the Righteous Qi Jue?"

Not only did he condense the Zhengqi Talisman, but now he even created the "Zhengqi Hall".

But he had no idea how to continue upgrading.

Xiao Yu pondered and said, “Next, you have three more stages to try.

In the first stage, continue to read the books of sages and comprehend more Zhengqi Talismans. Currently, you only have 80 Zhengqi Talismans in your Zhengqi Hall.

Being able to build walls and lay tiles to create a magnificent building mainly adds a sense of righteousness.

If one day, you can condense thousands and millions of righteousness talismans.

Only by using the righteousness talisman alone to build a spiritual temple can one be considered to have mastered the "Righteousness Art".

You can try to climb to the next level.”

Gou Jiao was surprised and said: "The Taoist priest said that I can condense the Righteousness Talisman because there are corresponding characteristics in my pure nature.

If there are no corresponding characteristics in one’s nature, it is impossible to condense a stable righteousness talisman.

Are there thousands of virtues in my nature? "

Xiao Yu said: "Buddha said that after realizing the true self of one's nature, one will have infinite light in one's heart.

I have not become a Buddha, so I don’t know whether Buddha nature can encompass all the principles and theories of the human world.

Before we disprove something, we must at least believe that we have unlimited potential.

If you don’t believe it yourself, how can you condense the righteousness symbol that represents the truth?”

Gou Jiao nodded slowly and asked, "What about the next two stages?"

Xiao Yu pondered and said, "The second stage of practice requires practice and strength, which you cannot do now."

Gou Jiao said: "I first understand that maybe I can become an immortal in the future. I am going home, not to give up the search for immortals and the way, but to complete the responsibility of this life first, and then pursue the great way without any worries."

"Do you know how many layers of heaven there are above our heads?" Xiaoyu asked.

"There are thirty-three heavens, plus the 'Daluo Heaven' which is the three holy realms of the Three Purities, a total of thirty-six heavens." Gou Jiao said.

"Are the spiritual realms of mortals and immortals, immortals and Golden Immortals, Golden Immortals and the Three Pure Ones the same?" Xiao Yu asked again.

"It must have been from low to high, it's completely different realm."

Gou Jiaogang finished speaking, a look of sudden realization appeared on his face, "Master, what you mean is that the realm of spiritual cultivation can be divided into 'thirty-six heavens', corresponding to the ruler of each heaven?"

Xiao Yu said: "The Three Pure Ones Holy Land where Daozu lives should not be counted separately, there are only thirty-three heavens."

The Taoist Patriarch is still Hunyuan Daoguo (Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian), but he is special in terms of power.

“I don’t know whether the spiritual realms of the living beings in the thirty-three heavens progress from low to high.

I can only be sure that in order to transcend Pangu's world, one must spiritually transcend the thirty-three heavens.

Therefore, the last two stages of the "Righteous Qi Art" are "Constructing the Thirty-three Heavens of the Heart" and "Great Transcendence".

"You've even thought of transcending the realm." Gou Jiao was invigorated and asked hurriedly, "How do we build the thirty-three heavens and how do we transcend?"

Xiao Yu looked up at the sky and said strangely, "You don't have any skills or magical powers, so you can't learn it."

Gou Jiao was unwilling to give up and continued to ask: "Even if I can't learn it, please tell me first, Taoist priest."

Xiao Yu asked, "Look up at the sky. Can you see the talismans and ghosts flying around in the sky?"

Gou Jiao immediately looked up at the sky, but could only see blue sky and white clouds.

Xiao Yu continued, “You can’t see the people on the second floor when you look at the ceiling from the first floor.

When you can see people on the second floor, it means that the floor you are on is the same as or higher than the second floor.

Why do demons and monsters easily ignore you?

Because you have a bright mind, evil spirits cannot invade your soul.

Or to put it another way, because your spiritual realm is at a higher level, the evil spirits at lower levels cannot touch it.

When your mind is on the second floor, your body, which remains on the first floor, has no spirituality at all.

What is the essential difference between it and stone, ground, air, etc.?"

Gou Jiao looked confused, "But the demons can still see me, but they tend to ignore my existence in their hearts."

Xiao Yu said: "Because you are a human being after all, with flesh and blood.

If you are a pure spirit, purer than a soul, only those who are on the same 'floor' as you can perceive you and touch you."

Gou Jiao looked up at the sky again, "Like talismans and ghosts?"

Xiao Yu shook her head and said, "They are the opposite of you, your body is on the first floor, and your mind has probably climbed to the seventh or eighth floor.

They are at the bottom of the spiritual realm, and their 'divine bodies' have climbed to the seventh or eighth floor, or even higher, and can reach the thirty-third floor with their divine powers.

If the Taoism and supernatural powers you cultivate can fully transform your spiritual realm into power, you can send your "mind's eyes" to the seventh floor.

Then, even if you are on the first floor, you can directly see the gods hiding on the seventh floor."

Gou Jiao asked curiously, "Master, you have great spiritual power and magical powers. How many levels of gods can you see?"

Xiao Yu smiled calmly but confidently, and said: "You are currently at the seventh level, and I am at least at the fifteenth level.

As one of the 'three realms', the highest level of the human world is probably only the eleventh floor.

Therefore, the gods and ghosts that have entered the human world now have no secrets in my eyes. "

The "three-step" plan formulated in Tianmen Town a few years ago has been fully achieved today when the "Zhengqi Jue" has been mastered to a small extent.

With a spiritual realm as high as the fifteenth heaven, one can control the magic eye and directly see through the reality of all dimensions of the human world.

Even the deep Shinto dimension, which she could not touch, let alone enter, could now be seen.

And she is only at the fifteenth level of spiritual realm.

If it is the "true Buddha" who has transcended the state of mind, sitting on Mount Lingshan, illuminating the three realms, and observing all living beings in the world, it is probably not bragging.

Gou Jiao was so eager that he asked eagerly, "What are they like? Are they like kites, flying around in the sky?"

Xiao Yu said unhappily, "How fast can a kite fly? Except for a small number of ghosts and gods, most gods patrol the human world and are in the Shinto dimension."

Gou Jiao asked again: "What is the Shinto dimension like?"

Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "It's like the highways that are all over the territory of the Qin Empire. You fly thousands of feet in the sky, looking down at the ground. The wide highway is like a thin line, and the horses running on it are like a small dot.

When I look up at the sky now, I can only see small spots of light flickering back and forth in the sky, leaving behind illusory streaks of light that disappear very quickly.

Alas, they were moving so fast that unless they stopped, it would be hard to catch them with the naked eye."

It’s also thanks to her powerful magic eyes.

The speed of movement in the deep Shinto dimension definitely exceeds the speed of light signals and electrical signals in cables in the previous life.

Can the naked eye of an ordinary person distinguish the moving trajectory of a light signal?
