Great Love for All Heavens Begins with Huang Yaoshi

Chapter 190 Tian Buyi: A dragon has emerged from my Great Bamboo Peak!
Su Ru's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said uncertainly:

"Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a misfortune in disguise. Could this mean I've finally seen the light?"

Tian Buyi appeared before the boy like a ghost, placed his hand on his shoulder, and used his internal energy to examine his internal condition. Finding nothing unusual, he said in a deep voice:
"As our Taoism says, people are inherently perfect, but like a bright mirror covered with dust, they are deluded by external appearances and thus trapped in their own situation."

"When enlightenment comes, it is like seeing the moon through the clouds. One can observe the laws of all things, know the affairs of the world while sitting in a room, and understand the principles of spring and autumn by observing a single leaf."

He stared intently at the boy in front of him:

"Those who are newly enlightened see that all things share the same root. You and I, flowers and stones, all receive the same breath of heaven and earth, just as rivers flow into the sea and all streams originate from the same source."

"With such a clear and enlightened mind, one can see through the phenomena of the world as if peeling back silk from an onion, extracting the essence from a thousand things, and gradually becoming in harmony with the Tao."

"I will teach you the first level of the Jade Purity Realm of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao, and see if you have truly grasped its essence."

“This child hasn’t eaten yet, why are you in such a hurry? You never supervise these good-for-nothings’ cultivation.”

Su Ru stopped the impatient Tian Buyi and spoke softly to Zhuang Buran:
"Seventh Brother, sit down and have your meal."

"Yes."

After the boy sat down, Tian Buyi gave an awkward smile and coughed lightly, saying:
"That's right, meals are important."

So, apart from Zhuang Buran, even though Su Ru said she wasn't in a hurry, she felt like she was eating the most tasteless meal of her life, just like everyone else, clearly focusing her thoughts and attention on someone.

Keep quiet hall.

After Tian Buyi meticulously taught the first level of the Jade Purity Realm of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao, he stood not far away from the others.

Suddenly, everyone present looked puzzled, as they sensed that the young man sitting cross-legged in front of them had instantly entered a meditative state, releasing his mind and restraining all his worries, drawing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to circulate through his body.

A ripple appeared in Tian Buyi and Su Ru's eyes as they keenly observed that with each breath, the boy's distracting thoughts dissipated like a thin mist, leaving him with a profound sense of merging with the universe.

Most people can complete the first level of the Jade Purity Realm in the first year. It involves sensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and guiding it into the body to achieve the effect of nourishing life. The main purpose is to connect with the world and gain insight into the creation of heaven and earth.

Although I was prepared, I was still shocked. I learned it as soon as I heard it and mastered it as soon as I practiced it. I immediately opened all seven orifices of my body and drew in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to flow along my meridians. I began to train and stabilize my body's vital energy and internal meridians.

"This is not an ordinary enlightenment. When the mind is focused and the spirit is calm, like the moon reflected in still water, clear without ripples, undisturbed by external affairs, the mind is naturally peaceful."

Tian Buyi subtly observed the young man calmly drawing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, circulating it through his body for seventeen major cycles, and couldn't help but whisper:
"Such enlightenment is probably at the level of reading scriptures and classics as if meeting an old friend, where one can understand them naturally without needing a hundred years of guidance, and is almost touching the foundation of the Tao."

When it was observed that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had circulated through the young man's body for thirty-six cycles, and his meridians had become stable, he was ready to cultivate to a higher realm.

Tian Buyi completely lost his previous stern expression and excitedly told the boy the incantation for the second level of Yuqing.

The cultivation process of "Taiji Xuanqing Dao" progresses from easy to difficult. Most people can complete the first level of the Jade Purity Realm in the first year, but from then on, the difficulties and challenges become apparent.

The second level usually takes five years to complete, and the third level is a watershed moment. Those with slightly worse aptitude will stagnate at this level for their entire lives, while it is not uncommon for those with better aptitude to take fifty or sixty years to complete.

When Tian Ling'er and the others suddenly saw the boy's aura tremble slightly, and his body seemed as soft and boneless as a pool of clear water, their shock intensified.

Upon hearing the second level of the incantation, he immediately grasped its essence, instantly opening up his lower dantian to refine the spiritual energy introduced into his body, transforming it into primordial essence within his meridians, nourishing his entire body.

When Tian Buyi saw the young man making great progress in the second level of the Jade Purity Realm, he was overjoyed. He felt that this was the reincarnation of the Qingye Ancestor, and he couldn't help but recall his experiences.

His original surname was Ye. He was a poor scholar who, despite his exceptional intelligence, failed the imperial examinations repeatedly. By chance, he was taken in as the last disciple by Wu Fangzi, the tenth generation leader of the Qingyun Sect, at the young age of twenty-two.

After joining the sect, he mastered all the sword techniques and methods taught by his master Wu Fangzi within just one year, standing out among all the disciples.

Another year passed, and even Wu Fangzi could only barely manage a draw with him thanks to his profound cultivation.

Wu Fangzi was both surprised and delighted. He resolutely took out the ancient scroll passed down by his master and gave it to Qingye to study and understand on his own.

Qingye then went into seclusion in the Illusion Moon Cave behind Tongtian Peak, where he remained for thirteen years before finally emerging.

But then they saw Qingye with completely white hair and beard, a smile on his face, and a clear light emanating from his body. He walked out slowly, as if he had already become an immortal. Afterwards, Qingye formally became a monk, taking the surname Ye and the character Qing from Qingyun, hence the name Qingye.

In a single day, all the enemies of the six peaks of Qingyun Mountain were annihilated. From then on, the strength of Qingye Daoist's Taoist magic and the ruthlessness of his methods became famous throughout the world, and the Qingyun Sect also gained great prestige.

Another year passed, and Wu Fangzi was about to pass the position of sect leader to Qingye. From then on, Qingyun Sect flourished.

Within fifty years, it had become a pillar of the righteous path; two hundred years later, it had become the leader of all the sects and factions of the righteous path.

Thinking of this, Tian Buyi looked at his young apprentice, who was lost in a state of ethereal bliss, and roared with immense excitement:

"A dragon has emerged from my Great Zhufeng!"

For over an hour, everyone watched intently, their hearts filled with complex emotions, before Tian Buyi suddenly began to recite the incantations for the third and fourth levels of the Jade Purity Realm.

However, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that the young man had drawn into his body had transformed into essence in his meridians, accumulating to the point where the essence was almost tangible. The essence in his meridians was like a surging river, and he had reached a point where he could not advance any further in the second level.

The first to third levels of the Jade Purity Realm in "Taiji Xuanqing Dao" are the foundation of all techniques, and the difficulty increases progressively. Unlike the first two levels, which involve drawing and refining Qi, the third level's technique is based on primordial Qi.

The focus has been on cultivating Tai Chi Qi. Once you reach this level, the cultivator's aptitude will be fully revealed. Those with exceptional talent often break through to the fourth level of the Manipulation Realm with unstoppable momentum.

Those with mediocre talent can only linger around this level and find it difficult to make any progress, while those with slightly better talent may need to cultivate for fifty or sixty years.

But then the young man's energy surged, and almost instantly he used his spirit as fire and his primordial essence as material to cultivate Tai Chi primordial energy. His body was also surrounded by a faint but real mental power, which meant that he had broken into the third level of primordial energy realm, which was the fourth level of object manipulation realm.

From then on, with the foundation of all methods, one could simultaneously learn other wondrous arts and techniques as well as cultivate one's own magical treasures.

Tian Ling'er and the others stared wide-eyed, as if their eyes were about to pop out of their sockets, their faces stiffening, clearly terrified.

In a short period of time, he simply went from an ordinary person who knew nothing about cultivation to a being who could fly through the air at lightning speed, or even a being who could shake the heavens and the earth, destroy mountains and stop rivers, and was seen as an immortal by ordinary people.

The achievement of one night surpasses the hard work of several years, decades, or even hundreds of years. This truly tests one's mentality, making it hard to believe that such an astonishing thing exists in the world, and that it is happening right before one's eyes.

It should be known that among the disciples of Dazhu Peak in this era, Song Daren has the deepest cultivation. He has cultivated for over a hundred years and has only reached the fifth level of the Jade Purity Realm. The rest are at the fourth or third level.

Tian Ling'er also received careful instruction from her parents from a young age, which is why she was able to reach the fourth level of the Jade Purity Realm at the age of thirteen.

The more they thought about it, the more bitter and tearful they felt. They realized that people really couldn't be compared to each other, and if they continued to compare themselves, they just wanted to kill themselves to avoid feeling that they were too useless.

Before long, the boy's aura gradually subsided, and he slowly opened his eyes, only to see the crowd with complicated expressions on their faces.

"When the mind is clear and bright, all things will naturally manifest."

Tian Buyi suddenly appeared in front of the boy, put his hand on his shoulder, and burst into laughter, venting all the pent-up frustrations of the past few years:
"Hahaha, what a brilliant insight! You are a gifted individual, capable of what others cannot!"

"Alright, stop acting all high and mighty here." Su Ru quickly stepped forward:

"Has the foundation of the seventh brother, who has broken through to the Object Manipulation Realm, become solid?"

"It was so solid that it couldn't be more solid, as if everything had fallen into place naturally, and seemed perfectly natural."

Upon hearing this, Su Ru felt relieved. She had been so shocked that she hadn't had time to remind him that cultivation must be done steadily and surely, and that he should not be impatient or reckless. Of course, it was also because she couldn't imagine that someone could make such rapid progress as soon as they came into contact with the path of cultivation.

However, what no one knew was that beneath the aura emanating from the young man before them, a natural rhythm integrated with life itself, lay hidden.

Its inner self is always focused on observing one's true nature, like a clear mirror reflecting objects, clear and unattached, yet it closes off all thoughts, thoughts, and consciousness, taking itself as a world, and seeing one's true nature alone.

It was clearly a practice of dual cultivation, using both the "Taiji Xuanqing Dao" and the "Dafan Prajna" with one mind.

The former focuses on understanding the natural world to strengthen the body's vital energy and internal meridians, while the latter emphasizes self-awareness, paying less attention to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and focusing on the tempering of the human body itself.

One emphasizes controlling the natural world, while the other focuses on understanding one's own nature. Although they are completely opposite methods of cultivation, they can complement each other's shortcomings and complement each other perfectly.
