Chapter 294 Preaching to the World (Part Two) [Requesting Monthly Tickets]

"The next stage is the second realm, the True Essence Realm."

The artistic conception is elevated to the fifth level of minor accomplishment, and a true qi circulation network is constructed based on the 24 major acupoints of the human body, establishing the [Human Body Twenty-Four Solar Terms Grand Array].

By harnessing the immense power of heaven and earth, one can compress and sublimate true energy.

Each time the body completes 36 cycles of true qi circulation, the strength of true qi can be increased fivefold.

Until true qi transforms into true essence, one enters the [True Essence Realm].

This is clearly a method of cultivating the human body using the Twenty-Four Formations of the Farmer's Earth and Marsh, combined with the Twenty-Four Sections of the Heavenly Valley left by Zhang Boduan of the One-Man World, and integrated with many other cultivation concepts.

It can help the human body transform and evolve, refine true essence, and nourish the body.

"Cultivation in the True Essence Realm involves continuously expanding the amount of True Essence in the dantian acupoints and comprehending and improving the intent, from 50% to 80%, thus transforming the quality of True Essence."

Until the true essence within his dantian transformed into a vast, incomparably powerful sea.

"At the peak of the True Essence Realm, one can fight against a thousand armored soldiers."

Chen Hong demonstrated his cultivation, and in no time, he reached the Perfection of the True Essence Realm.

"Finally, there is the cultivation of the [True Core Realm]."

"The [Human Body Twenty-Four Solar Terms Array] is expanded and sublimated, and a true essence circulation network is constructed based on the 108 major acupoints of the human body, establishing the Human Body 'One Hundred and Eight Heavenly Stars and Earth Veins Array'."

By harnessing the power of celestial bodies and terrestrial veins, the true essence is compressed and sublimated.

Each time the body completes 36 cycles of the true essence, the strength of the true essence can be increased tenfold.

Furthermore, the artistic conception has been elevated to 90% perfection.

Until the true essence solidifies and transforms into a true core, one enters the [True Core Realm].

"Next, we need to cultivate and strengthen the True Core, elevate the conception to perfection, improve the quality of the True Essence, and continue to expand the quantity of True Essence."

"Upon reaching the True Core Realm, one's True Essence will undergo a qualitative leap, and one's strength will also experience a qualitative leap."

"At the peak of the True Core Realm, one can fight against three thousand armored soldiers."

Chen Hong then demonstrated the cultivation of the True Core Realm, successfully cultivating the True Core and reaching the Perfection of the True Core Realm.

"After reaching the True Core Realm, one can begin cultivating the soul."

"As the saying goes, things are divided into five elements, and spirits are divided into five kinds. The elixir is born from within, and there is no sect for immortals and Buddhas."

Yin spirit, Yang spirit, primordial spirit, jade spirit, and holy spirit are the five kinds of gods.

From the perspective of deities, Yin gods are gods of the underworld, such as the Earth God, Mountain God, City God, and Night Wanderer God.

However, from the perspective of spiritual practice, the so-called Yin spirit is the soul that takes form and appears in the world, thus achieving the state of astral projection.

However, it cannot stray too far from the body, nor can it leave the body during the day. Just like a ghost, it is easy for people to target it, thus causing its soul to be scattered.

As the saying goes: "With a single, clear thought, and the soul not yet dispersed, it is like a dream, like a shadow, resembling a ghost; this is the spirit of the underworld."

"Therefore, I divide the cultivation of the soul into three realms."

That is, the three realms of the soul: the Yin Spirit Realm, the Yang Spirit Realm, and the Primordial Spirit Realm.

"I created the Visualization Method to cultivate the spirit and soul."

Chen Hong explained the "Visualization Method" in detail, which is actually the key, method and general outline of drawing visualization diagrams with one's mind and spirit.

The visualization method can be used to generate countless visualization diagrams.

"For example, this 'Taiyin Contemplation Diagram' involves contemplating the Taiyin moon to nourish and strengthen one's spirit and thoughts, in order to cultivate the Yin spirit."

Chen Hong projected a series of visualization images for everyone to view.

"For example, this painting, 'Lotus Contemplation,' also contains the profound mysteries of the Tao, which can strengthen the spirit and soul."

"Take this painting, 'Celestial Star Contemplation,' for example. Contemplate the power of the celestial stars entering your mind, where illusions are reborn. Your soul can experience coolness, heat, sourness, and spiciness. You must persevere through each of these sensations and use the power of starlight to cleanse your soul and cultivate the Yin spirit."

"There is also this painting, 'Contemplation of a Hundred Flowers,' which allows one to contemplate and comprehend the fragrance of a hundred flowers, making one's spirit bright and fragrant, with the flowers in full bloom, creating a beautiful artistic conception that soothes the body and mind, nourishes the spirit, and cultivates the Yin spirit."

"There is also the 'White Bone Visualization Picture,' in which one visualizes oneself rotting all over, covered with maggots and flies, with white bones exposed, in order to eliminate one's fear."

The "Jade Maiden Contemplation Picture" involves visualizing yourself embracing a jade maiden who makes various provocative gestures, while you remain steadfast and unmoved, cultivating a heart as cold as ice and snow.

The "Asura Visualization Diagram" involves visualizing oneself amidst a horde of demons and monsters, yet feeling no fear whatsoever. It is also a way to dispel terror.

The "Ascension Visualization Diagram" involves visualizing a powerful force in heaven guiding the soul to ascend to heaven in broad daylight. Resist the thought of this daytime ascension and eliminate delusional thoughts.

“There are countless visualizations; nothing in the universe can be visualized.”

If you wish, then the image of the founder of your own school, the scene refined from the classics, the flowers, trees, insects, fish, birds and beasts, the ancient gods and demons, is my image, and there is nothing that cannot be imagined.

The purpose of visualization is to enhance concentration, experience profound meaning, train the spirit, eliminate distracting thoughts, fears, delusions, and negative ideas, and cultivate a spiritual essence.

"Once the Yin spirit is strong, it can leave the body at night to travel to mountains, rivers, and all things in the world."

"You can use the 'Pagoda Visualization Out-of-Body Method' to aspire your soul out of your body."

First, take a bath to clean your body, then sit quietly, chant mantras, and make hand gestures.

After your mind has completely calmed down, visualize a seven-story, extremely tall pagoda.

And so I climbed up step by step, and suddenly leaped up at the top.

The soul then leaves the body.

"It is quite dangerous for the soul to leave the body and go out to play. You should be careful to protect your physical body."

Come back in time. Don't go too far. If you get affected by the external environment, lose the call of your physical body, and can't find your way back, then things will be terrible.

They must return before sunrise, otherwise, under the intense sunlight, their souls may be scattered.

"The power of the Yin spirit's soul can transform true essence, making it more freely usable. The nature and form of true essence change, allowing one to visualize the attributes of the mind and cast simple spells of the corresponding attributes."

They can also learn the Five Elements magic, control wind and fire, and even ride swords.

"You may explore on your own, write spell programs, and develop spells that suit your own school."

Clearly, Chen Hong meant that he would only impart the principles, not the techniques.

He laid out the framework of the cultivation system; the specific spells were left for the various schools of thought to develop themselves.

Since each of the various schools of thought had its own ideas, countless visualizations and spells would inevitably emerge, leading to a flourishing of diverse ideas and techniques, and the development of numerous magical arts.

Given the unique characteristics and creativity of the various schools of thought in this world, Chen Hong had quite a lot of confidence in them.

In an instant, Chen Hong visualized all the phenomena of the heavens, and one visualization after another swept through his mind. Finally, he merged the visualization into himself and successfully cultivated his soul into a Yin Soul.

"At the peak of the Yin Spirit Realm, one can fight against eight thousand armored soldiers."

"The next realm is the [Yang God Realm]."

"You can use the 'Great Sun Visualization Method' to visualize the firelight of the Great Sun illuminating the thoughts of the Yin spirit, refining away the Yin impurities, and returning to the innate pure Yang."

"You can also use the 'Thunder Visualization Method' to visualize various kinds of thunder, using yang energy to cleave away yin impurities, train the yin spirit, and obtain the yang spirit."

However, visualizing lightning is quite dangerous. In the early stages, it's better to visualize the sun. Later, when there are stubborn internal yin impurities that are difficult to refine, one can visualize lightning to cleave them open, which is more efficient.

"Once you have cultivated the Yang Spirit, you can travel during the day and even use it to defend yourself against enemies, thus gaining the power to protect yourself."

"As the saying goes: 'A complete transformation, a body outside the body, when gathered, it takes shape; when dispersed, it becomes energy.' This is the Yang spirit."

"In this realm, the spirit can leave the body without visualization, without worrying about the damage from sunlight. It can gather and disperse into form, come and go freely, and cannot be easily harmed."

They can control objects and possess powerful spiritual sense, capable of scanning an area of ​​hundreds of miles.

With a fast thinking speed and a photographic memory, they can scan and read hundreds of books simultaneously and understand them easily.

"No need for a sword; one can soar through the air and ascend to the highest heavens."

"At the peak of the Yangshen Realm, one can fight against 13,000 armored soldiers."

Chen Hong demonstrated, visualizing the great sun and thunder, and soon, he refined all the yin dregs and cultivated the yang spirit.

"After the Yang Shen realm comes the final [Yuan Shen realm]."

The realm of the primordial spirit can also be called the realm of ghost immortals, which is the realm of immortals who have cultivated to the point of having an immortal soul and have transcended the cycle of reincarnation.

Even if the physical body dies, it can survive on its own, or even possess another body to be reborn. It can integrate its powerful primordial spirit with the physical body without any discomfort, just like its own body.

When a ghost immortal dies, with a moment of tranquility, they leave the netherworld and enter the underworld, reincarnating. They need to grow into adulthood and have the right opportunities to resist the cleansing power of the laws of reincarnation, unravel the mysteries of the womb, and retrieve their past life memories.

Once one achieves the primordial spirit, not only can one comprehend the laws of heaven and earth and cultivate, but the primordial spirit is also strong and resilient. As long as a trace of the primordial spirit escapes, there is a chance to possess another body and be reborn, starting over. This makes one relatively difficult to kill.

However, the primordial spirit cannot reincarnate and possess another body indefinitely.

The more times one reincarnates and possesses another's body, the more marks will be left on the primordial spirit, posing a risk of primordial spirit depletion.

Once the primordial spirit is exhausted and completely extinguished, one is truly dead.

Reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, one's physical body can survive for a thousand years without any problem, and one possesses various supernatural abilities. Calling one a true immortal on land wouldn't be an exaggeration; ascending to heaven and descending to earth are easily within their grasp.

"At the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, one can fight against 30,000 armored soldiers."

Chen Hong personally demonstrated how to quickly refine the Yang God into the Primordial God.

Having refined his primordial spirit, Chen Hong made up for the last shortcoming in his soul.

The powerful primordial spirit unified the strength of his entire body, causing Chen Hong's power to surge.

Chen Hong's power far exceeded that of ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

An ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivator fought against 30,000 armored soldiers head-on, engaging in a battle of attrition. After killing the last armored soldier, the cultivator was nearly exhausted of his true essence and Nascent Soul power.

However, if a Nascent Soul Realm expert wants to leave, even 100,000 armored soldiers cannot stop them.

Chen Hong's strength has skyrocketed to the point that he can break through 50,000 armored soldiers with a single sword strike. He could easily charge in and out of the Qin army, which is composed of 500,000 soldiers, all of whom are 100% armored, equipped with powerful bows and crossbows, and are well-equipped and disciplined.

At most, it will be used when excessive energy is consumed and true essence is insufficient.

Of course, this is based on fundamental strength without the aid of strong external forces.

If Chen Hong were to unleash his ultimate move, or drop a nuclear bomb, no amount of military force would be enough to defeat him.

It is evident that the True Qi Martial Arts system created by Chen Hong, while not exceptionally powerful, is still quite formidable.

It has even been able to change the global landscape, giving individual powerhouses and the strength of a nation the right to compete and negotiate.

This caused the nobles of the seven kingdoms to frown. A knight-errant using martial arts to break the law was not a good thing.

Even Ying Zheng was somewhat worried that individual strongmen were too powerful, unruly, and might even rebel against the army or a country.

However, cultivation is not an easy thing, and true strong people are still few and far between.

Furthermore, since this is a martial arts system passed down from immortals, no one could say anything about it.

Seemingly sensing everyone's thoughts, Chen Hong spoke up:
"I observe that the common people of the world toil in farming and find it difficult to enter the threshold of spiritual practice. Therefore, I have created some methods that are suitable for the common people to exercise, strengthen their bodies, and cultivate their inner energy while doing their daily work."

It can make all people healthy, free from disease, and stronger.

Fundamentally enhancing the strength of the Chinese nation will also elevate the strength of the military to a higher level.

The nobles of the seven kingdoms and Ying Zheng and others were all immediately intrigued.

If all the people in the world become stronger, the army that is recruited will naturally be stronger and will be able to deal more effectively with individual powerful cultivators.
