Covering the Sky: I Prove the Great Dao Through the Gate of Immortality
Chapter 73 The Essence of Cultivation
"It might be much harder for you to reach this level than for me. I'm not even sure if you can cultivate to my level," Li Chenzhou shook his head.
Ye Fan and Pang Bo were puzzled. It was true that Li Chenzhou was exceptionally talented in cultivation. He created a martial arts cultivation system from scratch, which was a gift from heaven. It was no exaggeration to say that he was comparable to Zhang Sanfeng and Bodhidharma.
But to say that the two of them will never reach his current level is to underestimate him.
They are about to come into contact with cultivation techniques. Although Shen Zhou is extraordinary, how can the accumulation of one person over several years compare to the wisdom and essence of a world over countless years? The martial arts system they cultivate is bound to be far inferior to cultivation techniques. With so much time left to cultivate in the future, how could they not reach this level?
Seeing their confusion, Li Chenzhou smiled and said, "It's not that you lack talent in cultivation, but rather that your environment limits you. There's no need to worry about that."
"On Earth, the essence of heaven and earth is almost exhausted, and cultivation is almost impossible to see. Perhaps it exists in some secluded mountains and rivers, but I have not found it. The martial arts system first cultivates the physical body. However, human strength has its limits. After reaching a certain level, no matter how much you cultivate, your physical strength will not increase in the slightest. When you fight, you even need to eat a cow a day to maintain your activity. When your martial arts cultivation reaches a state where you can't advance any further, that is, the path ahead is cut off."
"If there is no progress in physical cultivation, then we should study the mind. What is the mind? In my view, spirit, will, Dao heart, and even the Daoist primordial spirit and the pineal gland in science are all within the scope of mental cultivation."
"In an era devoid of the essence of heaven and earth, the transformation of the physical body through the mind is part of spiritual cultivation."
"In this world, the essence of heaven and earth is abundant, and the upper limit of physical transformation is thousands of times higher than on Earth. You can continue to grow stronger without relying on spiritual cultivation. At this time, are you still willing to walk this path, which is a path of cultivation that no one has walked before and that needs to be constantly explored?"
Ye Fan and Pang Bo understood perfectly. Li Chenzhou's meaning was clear: there was no need to abandon the broad road and choose a path no one had traveled before.
"All paths lead to the same destination. When you truly reach the summit, you will find that the qualities you could not achieve when you were weak are nothing special."
Seeing that the two were silent for a moment, Li Chenzhou knew that they were unwilling and tried to comfort them.
Under his influence, the two of them pursued martial arts with a passion that was no less than his; in fact, it could be said that they had made exploring martial arts a lifelong pursuit.
But now, they are told that the environment has changed, making it almost impossible to continue on this path, while another broad road lies ahead.
On the other hand, even if they have the courage to continue, the cruelty of the cultivation world is far greater than that of Earth. Do they really want to "bind their own hands" and rely on mental methods to make themselves stronger?
If we encounter a formidable enemy in the future, will others give us time to become stronger?
While this blow to the two wasn't enough to shatter their "Daoist hearts," it certainly left a sense of decline.
a long time.
"I don't have the wisdom to develop martial arts. Let's leave it to Chenzhou. When you become the ancestor of martial arts in the future, Chenzhou, come and guide me and Ye Zi." Pang Bo was carefree and quickly adjusted his mindset.
"I'm not a pedantic person. Since martial arts cultivation is no longer going smoothly, then let's cultivate immortality. After all, the possibilities are much greater. Besides, I firmly believe that my and Pang Bo's martial arts levels will not be completely useless in cultivating immortality," Ye Fan said with a smile, taking it all in stride.
The next day, the sun rose in the east.
Ye Fan and Pang Bo sat cross-legged in front of the thatched hut, waiting quietly. Today, they would impart the cultivation methods to this world.
Soon, a rainbow light flew from afar, and an old man with white hair and a youthful face was enveloped in the rainbow light. In just a few breaths, he was right in front of us.
"Greetings, senior!" The two bowed respectfully; these must be the teaching elders of the cave.
"I am an elder of Lingxu Cave Heaven, named Wu Qingfeng. I have been teaching all the disciples who have been in the sect for three years."
Elder Wu Qingfeng was very calm and gestured for the two to sit down. He then sat down on the ground himself, ready to impart his teachings.
Since the two of them knew nothing about cultivation in this world, they had no questions to ask, so Elder Wu Qingfeng began to teach directly.
Li Chenzhou used the excuse of learning about the Lingxu cultivation method to eavesdrop, and Wu Qingfeng had no objection. In the Eastern Wilderness, almost everyone had a copy of the Daoist scripture's introductory chapter.
"Do you think the sky is clear?"
"The sky appears cloudless and pristine, but it is actually filled with all sorts of things: the sun, the air, and cranes are all part of it."
Pang Bo was the first to answer. Although he didn't know why Wu Qingfeng asked that question, he answered as he saw Wu Qingfeng's expression.
Since coming into contact with martial arts, influenced by Li Chenzhou and Ye Fan, Pang Bo is no longer a simple brute. Martial arts cultivation, while not requiring a sharp mind, cannot be devoid of refinement. The true essence of martial arts lies in cultivating both wisdom and strength.
Old man Wu Qingfeng was somewhat surprised, not expecting this robust young man to have such insights. Very good.
What a promising talent for cultivation!
"I wonder how he is?" Old Man Wu Qingfeng looked at Ye Fan.
"Countless dust particles, tiny organisms invisible to the naked eye," Ye Fan said.
Elder Wu Qingfeng was shocked. The answer of this capable young man was almost exactly the same as the endless dust he was trying to express. Among the disciples he had taught in the past, no one had ever been able to answer to this extent. He was simply born to cultivate.
Elder Wu Qingfeng carefully examined Ye Fan and Pang Bo. He saw that the two had solid qi and blood, and their muscles, skin and bones were far superior to those of ordinary people. However, they had obviously not experienced cultivation. He immediately thought that the two were very suitable for cultivation, perhaps possessing some kind of special physique.
Immortal Seedling!
This is definitely a celestial seedling, and a celestial seedling with a truly special physique, just like Weiwei.
Wu Qingfeng was delighted; no teacher dislikes a smart and outstanding student.
"Wild horses, dust, the breath of living things blowing in each other."
"A flower is a world, a leaf is a Bodhi tree; it can be a vast and boundless world, or it can be an infinite and boundless world," Li Chenzhou said with a smile.
"Good, well said, that's exactly right. Fellow Daoist Li has such insights, I'm just showing off my limited skills in front of an expert. There are countless doors to the world, but mortals cannot discover them. The essence of cultivation is the same."
Upon hearing this, Wu Qingfeng was full of praise. Even he had never thought deeply about these insights. Fellow Daoist Li's understanding of cultivation was truly unfathomable.
Upon closer inspection, one could sense that the other person possessed an indescribable aura, radiating a peaceful and serene presence that brought a sense of calm and tranquility to the listener.
The two youths were full of vigor and had strong bones and muscles, which should also be due to the foundation laid by Fellow Daoist Li.
