Chapter 12: Swallowing the Sun and Moon, Subduing the Six Senses, Twelve Heavenly Barriers

The man pointed at Xie Lingxin.

At this moment, Xie Lingxin's eyes were still closed, and his body was covered with a thin layer of light, which shone and dimmed with his breath.

Even though everyone was a beginner, it was clear that he was still immersed in the profound realm they had just experienced.

He is still in the state of fetal breathing!
"Um?!"

Yun Gui then noticed that Xie Lingxin, who was sitting behind the group, had a blank look in her eyes and her mouth was open.

"Master! It's him! It's him!"

"What do you mean 'him'? How many times have I told you? Stay calm and don't be impulsive."

Bai Ruhui lectured Xie Lingxin while keeping an eye on her.

How could he not see that Xie Lingxin had probably already mastered the One-Stop Technique and successfully visualized the sun and moon in the sky?

He nodded, his face showing admiration.

No wonder that person personally vouched for him; his talent is truly astonishing.

Although the Shouyi Method is merely a meditation method of the Southern Wudang School, it is something that beginners can master quickly, and even he rarely saw it in his life.

At this moment, Yun Gui pointed to his hand and said, "No, Master, it's your Spirit Pearl!"

Bai Ruhui looked down and saw that the radiance emanating from the spirit pearl in his hand was dimming at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"!"

Bai Ruhui's eyes bulged.

He immediately realized that Xie Lingxin had not only successfully visualized the sun and moon in the sky, but had also been able to freely absorb and exhale the essence of the sun and moon.

This is already a very profound state of meditation!

You'll learn it in no time, and master it in no time!
Where did this monster come from!

I'm just letting you experience the difficulty of cultivation!
There are still so many lessons to be taught, and so many key points to be shared!
Why aren't you playing by the rules?!
Even a genius would need at least several months of hard work to reach that level after learning everything!

How am I supposed to learn a lesson if you do this!

wrong!

Heartbroken, Bai Ruhui quickly used his mental power to conceal the spiritual pearl, blocking its spiritual light, and put it into his sleeve.

At the same time, his voice boomed like thunder: "Hmph!"

Xie Lingxin, who was immersed in a mysterious state, was suddenly pulled out of that state by a loud thunderclap.

He opened his eyes and found that everyone was staring at him.

He blinked. "What's wrong?"

"..."xN
Bai Ruhui let out a long sigh: "You have mastered the One-Guarding Technique, which is a good thing, but consuming the essence of the sun and moon too early is going too far."

It wasn't that he couldn't bear to part with the Spirit Pearl, but that he used Thunderous Sound to interrupt Xie Lingxin's meditation.

"The essence of the sun and moon is a concept used by ancient cultivators; in reality, it is the essence contained within the human body,"

"For example, Dragon Tiger Mercury Paste, Golden Fluid and Jade Liquid, etc., are all such references."

"Contemplating the sun and moon is actually using the power of the mind to stimulate this vital energy,"

"Absorbing the essence of the sun and moon is a process of transforming it into a power that one can completely control, known as refining essence into qi."

"What is 'essence'? It's the skin, hair, bones, blood, and internal organs. Every hair on your body, every strand of flesh, is transformed from the 'essence' of your physical body."

"Essence and energy originate from nothingness and manifest in reality. They are the source of all things, the foundation of all spirits, and the starting point of life."

"The Mountain-Carrying Diagram, and even most cultivation methods, are essentially about 'refining essence into qi,' only the methods and efficiencies are different."

"The 'Guarding One Method' involves visualizing the sun and moon. Theoretically, it has the ability to refine essence into qi, but the efficiency is too low. If one can comprehend the 'Mountain Carrying' posture in the 'Mountain Carrying Diagram,' the efficiency will be ten or a hundred times greater."

"However, you are new to cultivation, how can you so easily comprehend the mysteries of the diagram? There's no need to rush. Besides, your physical body is weak, what essence can you refine? Can it withstand your relentless refinement?"

Do you feel very weak right now?

Bai Ruhui explained, and then asked Xie Lingxin.

After listening, Xie Lingxin suddenly understood.

No wonder he felt a strong sense of weakness when he opened his eyes just now.

I also often felt weak when practicing basic visualization techniques.

This is all the result of sacrificing physical health to strengthen the spirit.

Judging from his expression, Bai Ruhui was not surprised at all, but his words contained a warning:
"You've already mastered the 'One-Point Method' and can absorb the essence of the sun and moon. It seems your basic visualization skills are quite profound. Your cultivation of the mind can also be called spiritual cultivation. You're probably not far from the first level of heavenly barrier." "That's why you need to be even more careful. Before you master the 'Mountain-Bearing Posture,' you shouldn't practice this basic visualization method anymore."

He appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil.

As he said, the "Guarding One Method" only has the theoretical ability to refine essence into qi; to actually achieve this is wishful thinking.

Unless his spiritual cultivation is extremely profound.

He already knew Xie Lingxin's background: she came from an ordinary family and had only been exposed to basic conceptual ideas.

In other words, he achieved such profound spiritual cultivation simply by relying on basic concepts.

They've probably already reached the threshold of the first level of heaven, haven't they?

This is simply unbelievable.

"The first level of heavenly barrier?"

Xie Lingxin was hearing this term for the first time.

"good."

Bai Ruhui knew that he had never truly been exposed to cultivation and was not familiar with such basic information, so he deliberately explained it in more detail.

"The path of spiritual practice is fraught with difficulties. Our predecessors and sages paved the way for us to reach the heavens."

"This path to heaven is fraught with perilous obstacles, and its essence lies in the cultivation of both body and mind,"

"Breaking through the Heavenly Barrier and eliminating the Great Limit, one possesses the divine appearance and holy heart; without breaking through, one remains merely a mortal body."

"These are the twelve heavenly gates of nature and life, with nature and life each occupying half of them."

"Strengthen the essence, clear the meridians, generate marrow, invigorate the five internal organs, forge the furnace and cauldron, and break through the mysterious gate—these are the six gates of cultivating life."

"Calming the mind, suppressing desires, severing the three corpses, emerging the Yang spirit, nourishing the sacred embryo, and returning to the primordial spirit are the six stages of cultivating one's nature."

"As the saying goes: Life and death are subject to twelve trials, each trial is a different level of heaven, and the twelve-story tower is a ladder to the clouds, from which the path to immortality begins."

"Only by breaking through all twelve heavenly barriers and forging the foundation for immortality can one be qualified to transcend the mortal realm and truly begin the path to immortality..."

"Even from this starting point, many people would never finish the journey, no matter how hard they try."

Bai Ruhui shook his head and sighed.

"The first level of spiritual tranquility is actually breaking through the 'barriers of consciousness.' People's thoughts and intentions are always swayed by various desires and the chaos of the world, scattered and difficult to calm down."

"Breaking through mental barriers, calming the mind and achieving stillness, and being able to control one's thoughts freely is the first hurdle in spiritual practice, known as the first heavenly barrier of the mind. Once you pass through it, you can condense your consciousness and enter the realm of legends."

So that’s it!
It matches the online courses I bought... No, Teacher Bai and Bai Ruhui are the same person.

Cultivate your nature and calm your mind; subdue the six senses.

Xie Lingxin suddenly realized.

[Basic Concept: 1/1]

[One-Point Rule: 1/1]

[Sex: 2.11/10]

【Life: 0.02/1】

This "unimpeded by all laws" technique is truly useful.

Once a concept is formed in your mind, it will naturally manifest according to your thoughts.

This proves that the theory of nature and destiny has directly pointed to the key to the Great Dao.

Bai Ruhui was right; the ancient sages had already paved the way for future generations.

According to him, his mind has now broken through the first barrier.

However, the progress limit suddenly jumped from 1 to 10.
The next time you clear the level, the difficulty will increase tenfold, or even more.

He couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, how long does it usually take for an ordinary person to break through the first level of the Heavenly Barrier?"

While Bai Ruhui was still pondering, Yun Gui chuckled and said, "Master said you're not far from the first level, but that's only relatively speaking; it doesn't mean you can actually reach it."

"It's just the first level of the Heavenly Barrier. For those with good talent, breaking through it won't be difficult; it'll be a matter of minutes."

"In the cultivation world, there are sayings such as sudden enlightenment and foundation building in a hundred days. The former refers to breaking through the first barrier of cultivating one's nature, which happens in an instant. The latter refers to the first barrier of cultivating one's life force, which need not be discussed further for now."

"As for you, you are indeed quite good at the mindset to have learned the One-Guarding Technique so quickly, but breaking through the barrier... Hehe, you should relax and learn from your master steadily. Haste makes waste."

The implication is that it's too early for Xie Lingxin to think about breaking through her cultivation level.

　Thank you "AoAoA" for the 1500 reward!
