The Great Way to Truth, Starting from Jiazi Laodao

Chapter 121: The Universe in the Sleeves, Samadhi True Fire

Xuanming turned into a stream of light and entered the "Huangting Zhongjing Yujing". His mind came into contact with this scripture, and mysterious sounds arose and echoed in his mind, just like the sound of Huangzhong Dalu, enlightening his wisdom and awakening his nature of Tao:
"Think of the god on my head, whose hair is like the stars, the long and winding light is like a black circle, and the center of the top of my head is called Tongtian... Above me is a black child like the moonlight, whose true essence covers the inner cultivation... The hollow in my lungs goes up and down, as big as a sharp hole that connects to Taichang..."

Xuanming was immersed in it, intoxicated and in a trance he entered another world and saw a complete world.

Heaven, earth and man coexist. The heavens have their regularity, the earth has its rules, and man has his spirit. All things are in order, and all beings are kind: the withering and flourishing of plants, the changing of seasons, the rotation of the sun and the moon, the reproduction of animals, and the marriage of human beings...

However, all these soon became illusory. The sky collapsed and the earth split apart. All spirits assimilated into qi. Various qi mixed together. First, all qi returned to three, which meant the three talents, also known as the three origins. The sun, moon and stars were reflected in the heavenly treasures, water, fire and earth were reflected below, and the essence, energy and spirit of man were reflected in the middle.

The three Qi are assimilated into two Qi, namely Yin and Yang. These Qi are divided into light and dark colors. During their flow, they evolve and give birth to numerous large and small voids, forming a large number of black holes, which are dark, deep and mysterious.

The Yin and Yang energies converge into one, and these energies ultimately converge into one kind of energy, gray and chaotic, pure and flawless. The void evolves into purity, and the essence of purity is the void.

After a session of Buddhist scriptures and enlightenment, Xuanming was like a revelation, his eyes were opened, and he realized another true meaning of Hunyuan: Hunyuan is the beginning of the primordial energy, when the primordial energy is not yet divided and is chaotic and one. It is between light and darkness, and gives rise to infinite voids. The void gives rise to Taiwu, and when Taiwu changes, the three Qis become distinct.

The three qi are: the upper qi is called Shi, the middle qi is called Yuan, and the lower qi is called Xuan. Qi is born in the void, Yuan qi is born in the hole, and Shi qi is born in nothingness. The three qi are chaotic, giving birth to the void and establishing the hole. Because of the hole, nothingness is established. Because of nothingness, existence is born, and because of existence, the void is born. By observing the changes of the void, one can create nature from the void...

Thousands of peaks, bamboo shoots, rocks, thousands of jade trees, thousands of pine trees, thousands of moss, and clouds.

After several snowstorms, Fuyun Mountain was covered in silver, with snow on the tiles and white pines and cypresses. The Taoist temples looked like holy scenes in the snow, spotless. The morning sun gilded the snow and tiles with a layer of gold, making the entire Qiuzhen Temple look more holy.

With a creaking sound, the door of the thatched cottage opened. The white-haired Taoist walked out of the courtyard, stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the white clouds in the sky and the mountains and rivers that seemed to be one color of the world. He couldn't help feeling relaxed and happy, filled with heroic spirit.

The black swallow flew through the sky and came towards the Taoist temple. Xuan Ming waved his sleeves lightly, and the spiritual bird that flapped its wings disappeared in an instant.

Smelling Xuanming's breath, the spirit deer, which was already running wildly and was close at hand, saw what happened to its companion. Its pair of wet eyes suddenly widened in astonishment, and it then braked suddenly with its front hooves, feeling something was wrong, and turned around to run away. However, Xuanming waved his sleeves lightly, and the spirit deer disappeared.

He opened his sleeves, looked down at Linglu and Xuanyan who were flying around in his sleeves like headless flies, and stroked his beard and smiled.

"The world is as vast as the sleeves, and the sun and moon are as long as the pot."

Xuanming has benefited a lot from reading "Huangting Zhongjing Yujing" for nearly three months. He has comprehended three magical powers, and "The Universe in the Sleeve" is one of them, which was born from observing the void.

Although he did not have the magical power of the sun and the moon in the pot, the spatial magical power of the universe in his sleeves was no less powerful or potential than the former. The reason why he read the scriptures for such a long time this time was that he had a foundation before, and he practiced while the iron was hot, and had a preliminary understanding of the three magical powers.

The other two magical powers are:
【Samadhi True Fire】

Observing the transformation of all things into three energies, one can realize the Samadhi True Fire. This magical power consists of three steps. The first is to seek within, that is, to use the essence, energy and spirit to condense the true fire, which can burn the souls of living beings; the second is to seek outside, to integrate the fire in the wood, the fire in the stone and the fire in the sky, and to burn the mountains and boil the sea; finally, to combine the inside and outside, to use the sun, moon and stars as the initiator, to fuse the two kinds of Samadhi True Fire, and when it is fully developed, it can burn the void and burn the space. [Reversing Yin and Yang]

Xuanming had been pondering the theory of Yin and Yang for a long time. This time, he saw that all things belonged to Yin and Yang, and with his profound attainments in Tai Chi, he comprehended this top-ranked Tiangang magical power.

When it is used, the heaven and earth lose their order, the sun and the moon lose their normal states, it is like reversing right and wrong and confusing black and white. It can reverse all things and turn the world upside down.

Retracting his thoughts, Xuan Ming shook his sleeves. Linglu Changshou and Xuan Yan were immediately trembling with fear. Even though they knew there was no danger and it was just a prank by the master, they still couldn't help feeling panic in their hearts.

It was not until the third wave of his sleeves that they fell to the ground and saw the light of day again, and then they stopped making noise. One of them jumped three feet high with a vigilant look; the other flapped his wings and flew into the sky with a cautious face. Then they fled in two different directions, fearing that they would be caught by the master and teased again.

Ignoring the two idiots, Xuanming's mind moved, and a deep vortex appeared behind him. The outer part was black and white, merging into the two colors of Tai Chi, and the inner part was chaos. This was the prototype of his Tao domain.

This time, while comprehending the "Huangting Zhongjing Yujing", in addition to realizing the three supernatural powers, he also made progress in his enlightenment. His Taoism advanced by leaps and bounds, and he touched the threshold of spiritual practice.

Xuanming was surprised and delighted by this. This was an experience he had never had before when reading the "Huangting Waijing Yujing". It was a new feeling brought by the "Huangting Zhongjing Yujing".

From then on, before he practiced spiritual cultivation, the road ahead was smooth for him. As long as his magic power was sufficient, breaking through the realm and advancing would be a natural process, and achieving the status of a holy fetus was just around the corner.

In addition, Xuanming also realized the "Middle Scene Eight Truths Method". By meditating on the eight truths in the body, both the spiritual perception and the physical body will be greatly enhanced, and it can be combined with the "Outer Scene Eight Truths Method" to form eighteen bodies of gods to protect the body from curses, attacks from the soul, and so on, and possess incredible mysterious magical powers.

After putting away the strange vision, Xuanming walked in the mountains and forests, strolled in the snow, and admired the scenery. He did not return to his residence until the sunset.

Read scriptures to gain enlightenment, hone your magical powers, collect energy, increase your magic power, temper your body, and observe the stars...

Xuanming returned to his previous pace of life. There were no fierce conflicts and sharp contradictions. There were no so many injustices. Calmness was the norm.

Time flies, winter turns to spring, and he goes into seclusion again. His own magical power is enough, and it is time for him to break through. Sitting cross-legged on the cushion, Xuanming holds his breath and concentrates, clearing his mind, practicing the "Hunyuan Yiqi Jue", gathering all his magical power, following the meridians, converging towards the golden elixir, increasing his spirituality bit by bit.

The holy fetus is the flower of qi. Compared with the golden elixir, the holy fetus has a bit more spirituality and has begun to nurture divinity. If the golden elixir is a house, the holy fetus is an exquisite house decorated with flowers, trees, tables, chairs and benches, etc., turning from extensive to refined.

The magic power is like the sea, surging endlessly. The golden elixir in the Crimson Palace is rotating. With every rotation, the golden elixir grows bigger, its spirituality increases, and the dantian in the middle becomes more agile.

In March, when the grass is green and the birds are singing, a powerful aura, centered at the Wendao Temple, permeates the mountains and forests, covering the 300-mile Floating Cloud Mountain. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surges, and the entire Wendao Temple is surrounded by a vortex of spiritual energy.
