From Covering the Sky, I Became a Transcendent

Chapter 3 The Beginning of Practice
Time flies, and six years have passed in the blink of an eye.

During these six years, in order to build a strong foundation for Si Chen, the Ancient Sun Cult took out many peerless magical objects.

Having existed for more than two million years, the Ancient Sun Cult naturally has an extremely rich heritage. Various elixirs were taken out, carefully selected, and then fed to Si Chen.

Among them there is even a Life Fruit, a divine product born from a stone. It is extremely rare in the world and is not much worse than the elixir of immortality.

The Ancient Sun Cult used this treasure as Si Chen's foundation-building spiritual object, which can be said to be the best they had.

Piles and piles of divine sources were randomly placed in the most conspicuous places in the small world. The divine aura soared into the sky, dazzling and moving. In this kind of environment, ordinary people would benefit greatly even if they only stayed in it for a few hours.

What Si Chen uses for bathing every day is the precious blood from the bodies of ancient alien species. This precious blood is extremely precious and any mortal who drinks it can prolong their life.

During this period, the old man in gray robe personally preached to Si Chen, kept him by his side, and taught him the basic knowledge of this world.

The old man had unparalleled cultivation and possessed immense power. Si Chen guessed that he was a quasi-emperor, or a high-level quasi-emperor with ample lifespan.

Quasi-emperor. In an era without great emperors, such a person can traverse the entire universe and easily sweep across a star field.

It can be said that it was a great fortune that he came to enlighten Si Chen. Si Chen naturally would not miss this opportunity and humbly asked him for advice.

"Every speck of dust, every blade of grass, every tree in this world is a world."

"There are endless dust particles in the world, and each dust particle is a world. Similarly, our body is the same. You can't see anything, but it contains countless 'doors', just like the dust particles in the world. The seemingly tiny body contains countless 'doors'. Continuously opening these doors and discovering the 'true self' is practice."

Si Chen pondered over these words and knew that this was actually the secret of the Heaven-Covering Method. Using one's body as a seed was actually opening the doors of potential in the human body.

"Everything in the world has its origin. There is also such a place in our body. It is the root of life vitality and contains the essence of the whole body. This place is called the wheel of life. It is the source of divine power. It is located below our navel. With the point below the navel as the center, it forms a circle. The area is as big as a palm. It is the place where the essence is stored."

"This is also the foundation of our cultivation. If we can reach the legendary realm, keep the wheel of life crystal clear, without scars or marks, and always be as fresh as when we were born, we may have a glimmer of hope of becoming an immortal."

"Immortal", this word has stumped many ancient emperors, and so many amazing people ultimately failed to achieve it. Perhaps this child has a hope of becoming an immortal.

The gray-robed old man paused for a moment and continued:

"The sea of ​​suffering is an endless sea of ​​tribulations that obscures the wheel of life. If you want to embark on the path of cultivation, you must open up the sea of ​​suffering and let it grow gradually. Only in this way can you find the wheel of life."

"The two overlap, releasing endless life essence that lingers above the Sea of ​​Bitterness and overflows to every part of the body, nourishing the flesh, blood, internal organs, and bones, strengthening the flesh shell, and initially transcending mortals. This is the first realm of the Wheel Sea Secret Realm - the Sea of ​​Bitterness."

"The sea of ​​suffering covers the wheel of life, one above and one below, overlapping each other. Every year leaves a mark on the wheel of life, until the wheel of life is covered with scars and completely collapses. That is when a person's lifespan runs out and he dies."

"To change this situation, the only way is to open up a passage in the Sea of ​​Bitterness, directly reach the bottom of the sea, connect to the Wheel of Life, let a large amount of life essence flourish, stop the erosion of the Sea of ​​Bitterness, and prolong life." "Quantitative change leads to qualitative change. The vigorous life essence surges and eventually gathers together, turning into liquid to form the Holy Spring of Life, rushing into the Sea of ​​Bitterness. In the dry and lonely Sea of ​​Bitterness, a Spring of Life Eye is dug out, connecting to the Wheel of Life, and letting the Holy Spring flow. This is the second realm of the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm - the Spring of Life."

"In this way, the cultivator will have the source of power, and can perform various mysterious methods and magical powers with unfathomable power. This is a key step in the cultivator's transformation. As long as the source of divine power is inexhaustible, the magical power will be endless. In fact, the divine rainbow controlled by the cultivator is the divine light gushing out of his own life spring. After reaching the life spring realm, one can control the rainbow, fly into the sky and hide in the ground, and perform countless various exquisite mysterious methods."

"The human body is full of mysteries. Powerful cultivators do not want to be trapped in the Sea of ​​Bitterness. They want to explore other unknown secret realms of the human body. Therefore, there is the process of crossing the Sea of ​​Bitterness. In order to achieve the goal, cultivators need to transform their flesh shells and generate a divine vein in the Sea of ​​Bitterness to help them break through the obstacles and reach the other side of the Sea of ​​Bitterness. This is a difficult and long process. The cultivators will become stronger and stronger, and eventually sublimate the Sea of ​​Wheels, form the Divine Veins of Heaven and Earth, and release their endless potential. This is the third realm of the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm - the Divine Bridge."

"After practicing to this point, the cultivator must be extremely determined and must not waver. Only in this way can one see through the illusion and fog and continue to look for one's own other shore. In this process, not only the flesh shell must be transformed, but the spirit must also be sublimated. The soul and the shell must be united, breaking through the shackles and transcending the self. Only then can one return to the source and find the root. The divine bridge will come like a rainbow, and one will successfully cross the sea of ​​suffering. This is the fourth realm of the secret realm of the wheel sea - the other shore."

"When reaching the other side, the monk's flesh, blood, organs, and bones will all wither and die. Then, a different kind of rebirth will occur, and it will undergo nine consecutive rebirths, completing a transformation like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon."

The four realms of Bitter Sea, Life Spring, Divine Bridge, and the Other Shore are isolated from each other and are as far away from each other as the sky. It is very difficult to break through. Each realm has many details that need to be accumulated and settled before there is a possibility of transformation.

These four realms are the foundation and are equally important. If any one of them is not cultivated well, it will affect the future path. If you want to go further on the path of cultivation, these four realms must be cultivated to perfection.

After the preparations were completed, the old man in gray robe taught him the "Sun Sutra".

This is one of the oldest scriptures of the human race. It is the mother scripture of the human race. Almost all the great emperors of the ancient times referred to this imperial scripture when they created scriptures. It has an irreplaceable position.

The meaning of the Wheel Sea Volume of this scripture had already been explained to him by the gray-robed old man, and now he was explaining the Dao Palace Volume.

The old man in gray robe spoke very simply and plainly, but he covered many details of spiritual practice in every aspect.

In fact, with his realm, as long as he wanted, he could speak in a grandiose way at any time, and golden lotuses would emerge from the ground, allowing Si Chen to break through several checkpoints in one day and reach the Taoist Palace directly.

But he didn't do so, because he knew that doing so would only harm Si Chen.

The understanding of each realm cannot be granted by others, but must be cultivated step by step by oneself.

This was also the reason why he cut off the Saint Si Chen's cultivation.

Si Chen was very intelligent and he quickly mastered the meaning of the scriptures and understood their general idea. This amazed the old man in gray robe and he praised him for his amazing comprehension.

"Thank you for the compliment, ancestor." Si Chen was not proud. He knew that this was just the beginning and there was still a long way to go in cultivation. There are always people better than you.

The gray-robed old man nodded secretly, and then told Si Chen the unique features of each secret realm, which benefited Si Chen a lot.
