Celestial Official!

Based on his understanding of the cultivation techniques of "Crimson Cloud Bright Fire Control Technique" and "Tea Stove Brewing Sword Dance and Leaping Song".

Yan Chen believed he had grasped some of the fundamental principles of Taoist cultivation.

The obscure terms are no longer as difficult to understand as before.

On the contrary, their minds raced and they came up with ingenious ideas.

After quickly reading through the Taoist texts, Yan Chen's eyes brightened, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile. In an instant, countless ingenious ideas and schemes sprang to mind.

He secretly thought to himself:

The brilliance of this "Divine Furnace Burning with Passion and Desire Curse" lies in its ability to "hold fast to oneself and stir up deep thoughts".

"It uses the mind and soul as a furnace, imagination as fire, and the seven emotions and six desires as materials to burn and transform, thereby achieving a completely different cultivation experience, or ingenious strategies in battle!"

The so-called seven emotions are joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, and worry.

The six desires are—eyes, ears, nose, mouth, body, and mind.

Practitioners can choose one as "resources," burn and refine it, and transform it into resources for their practice at that time.

The desires represented by the "resource" that has been refined will be temporarily forgotten by the cultivator, as if they never existed.

If one cultivates to a high level, one can even burn away all emotions and desires in an instant, completely emptying one's soul and mind, as if nothing exists, and completely immersing oneself in a certain state.

Unless one faces a life-or-death situation or makes a major breakthrough in spiritual practice.

Otherwise, it might take years or even decades to recover from this state of clarity.

It is extremely suitable for secluded meditation and enlightenment!

Besides these wonderful uses, after each act of burning desire, the "material" that was burned will not be completely dissipated.

Instead, it transforms into nourishment, stimulating the generation of a "life-giving fire," which resides behind the brain's nerve gate and on either side of the fontanelle, serving as a means of nurturing.

At first, it was weak and insignificant.

However, as desire is ignited and thoughts are stirred up time and time again, this "life fire" will continue to burn brightly and grow stronger, like a furnace being fueled with more firewood, becoming more and more vigorous and never going out!

At that time, you can act as you please, exposing the fontanelle to attack and kill the enemy!

With its mix of desires and sensual thoughts, ordinary people would inevitably be confused and unable to control themselves when they encountered it.

It is a powerful weapon that can be used to strike unexpectedly!

Yan Chen suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind and drew out a main thread from them.

Carefully consider your future path and plans.

"From today's perspective, breaking through the acupoints and opening the orifices, comprehending the 'Qingyuan Chengming Danjue', cultivating the 'wood element' true qi, and jointly practicing wood and fire are already a foregone conclusion and an unshakable matter."

"In that case, the most important thing right now is to find elixirs and spiritual medicines to strengthen my foundation and cultivate my vital energy, so as to maximize my chances of successfully breaking through the acupoints and thus be able to store the true energy of the 'wood element'."

"At the same time, I cannot put down this 'Divine Furnace Ignition Fire Burning Passion and Desire Curse'. Observe its mystery. If I master it, it will definitely play a vital role in my future cultivation and even in killing enemies!"

"Even... from a long-term perspective, the importance of this Taoist technique is slightly greater than that of the 'Qingyuan Chengming Danjue'."

Thinking of this, Yan Chen subconsciously absorbed the primordial energy of the universe. With a hissing sound, he ingested it, which stimulated his fiery nature, condensed into a powerful force, and attempted to break through his acupoints.

At the same time, Yan Chen separated a sliver of thought, using his mind to think in two directions, and pondered to himself:

"The seven emotions and six desires are all different... Which emotion should I choose as the 'material' for this cultivation?"

Yan Chen quickly came to an answer after a rapid thought.

Yes, burning desire serves two purposes: firstly, to ignite one's "natal fire," and secondly, to aid in self-cultivation and enhance one's state.

If that's the case, then...

The most suitable thing to do is to burn away the desire of "sorrow"!

The so-called worry is—having anxieties and feeling depressed.

Those who are worried have lingering, pent-up emotions that are difficult to dispel. This is the origin of things like "inner demons" and "obstacles to the mind."

It is a major obstacle on the path of cultivation!

Upon thinking of this, Yan Chen suddenly felt his mind clear and bright, as if he were sitting on a spiritual platform, and his soul and thoughts were lifted up and ascended.

In a daze, it felt as if I had arrived at a vast and boundless sea of ​​smoke.

Yan Chen's figure was light and graceful, like smoke and wisps of smoke, or even nothing at all. Her consciousness was gradually fading, and she drifted and wandered in this sea of ​​smoke, relying only on a faint intuition.

Suddenly, a small raft appeared beneath him, slowly drifting with the waves.

He gazed at the shore and saw several strange peaks, rugged and towering, with jagged, tiger-like teeth piercing the sky.

A faint glow of rosy light gathered at the summit, as if hiding something, but it was obscured by thick clouds and could not be seen clearly.

Yan Chen looked around and suddenly realized that many people had appeared around him, all riding in boats and rafts, rowing their names towards the distant peaks.

"What are they arguing about?"

Yan Chen felt as if something had been ripped from his mind, leaving him somewhat bewildered, but his instincts told him—

Follow them and get to the shore!

"Struggling to cross the sea of ​​suffering, is it all just to reach the shore?"

As Yan Chen watched the boats that surpassed him one by one, a strange sense of impatience welled up in his heart.

He also wanted to maneuver the boat and cross to the other side.

But then he suddenly realized that the raft had no oars, and he couldn't help but think:

"Without wood oars, can a raft really be used?"

Then, he looked at the boundless sea around him, and his concerns resurfaced:

"The sea of ​​suffering is vast, and storms may arise. Can we truly cross it with this small raft?"

Thinking of this, the sea of ​​suffering below actually began to ripple, and several boats not far away capsized and sank into the sea, never to be seen again.

Despite the wind and waves, and the tilting and rocking of the boat, Yan Chen did not make the slightest move.

He seemed to be thinking about something.

The next moment, the raft capsized and was swallowed by the waves, buried deep in the sea.

The seawater was icy cold, and it was pitch black all around.

A figure sank deeper and deeper into the water.

Suddenly, Yan Chen opened his eyes, and a glimmer of fiery light appeared, restoring some of the brilliance to his eyes.

"Amidst the vast changes of nature, I feel neither joy nor fear... How could my path be contained by a mere small boat?"

At the same time, several other figures drifted along the water.

Yan Chen grabbed it and instantly burned and refined it!

In an instant, countless figures swarmed towards him like fish swimming in shallow water.

"You think your mere worries can stop us?"

Yan Chen accepted all comers without hesitation. Fiery light surged from his body, mind, hands, and eyes. In an instant, the seabed seemed to transform into a fiery spring, steaming with wisps of white vapor that permeated the surrounding area for miles!

As each strand of "worry" was burned and refined by Yan Chen, it transformed into wisps of crimson flames that rose up, broke through the sea surface, and flew to the top of that strange peak.

The once vast and boundless sea of ​​suffering suddenly shrank and evaporated at a speed visible to the naked eye. The boundless water vapor, like a raging smoke, surged into the sky, resembling a wall of clouds that met the heavens and the earth.

Meanwhile, inside the warm and quiet room.

Yan Chen suddenly opened his eyes, slowly exited his meditative state, and looked up at the clouds and sky outside the window.

But the sun was high in the sky, and the morning light was faint.

Before I knew it, a night had passed.
