However, the Reverse Life Triple Technique he cultivated was a method of cultivating both body and mind, and the alchemy that Granny Liu passed on to him was also the same. The White Bone Temple only cultivated the mind, so he didn't take it too seriously.

But at that moment, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

The simplest way to tame the restless mind is to abandon delusions. The "positive" state of the Golden Light Mantra can indeed lead to this state, but it is still not enough.

The White Bone Contemplation is a secret Buddhist practice that can be used to break free from attachment to self.

Inner demons are born from various attachments, so breaking through these inner demons is the same as breaking through attachment to self.

Buddhist practice teaches that form and emptiness are not two, neither empty nor existent, yet both empty and existent.

"If all phenomena are empty, and all illusions are vanished, then wouldn't the so-called inner demons also disappear?"

A divine light flickered in Chen Yuan's eyes.

hum!

The milky-white inner core between his eyebrows suddenly thickened by one layer. At this moment, his divine sense seemed to be sublimated once again, and the golden light within it became even more condensed.

Control your restless mind!

"you!"

The inner demon Chen Yuan looked at Chen Yuan in front of him with a look of horror. This guy, who was radiating golden light, seemed to have taken control of his body, which made him somewhat incredulous.

"You are me, and I am you. Bodhisattvas and demons are all but a thought. In essence, we are all nothingness! That's roughly the idea. You and I are both nothingness! Hey, just keep your true self!"

Chen Yuan grinned.

The so-called breaking through inner demons does not mean actually becoming a monk or nun.

He didn't want to do that. To control his mind and overcome his inner demons was to be himself, to understand the good and evil in people's hearts, and to control himself.

Since the inner demon before him is a part of himself, he can naturally control it. The reason he couldn't control it before was simply because he was misled by his own obsession.

Everyone has their own path, and desire is also part of that path.

"That brat actually succeeded!"

Wugensheng also narrowed his eyes.

This kid seems to have used the Golden Light Mantra of the Celestial Master's Mansion to put himself into a "positive" state, and he has just practiced a Buddhist cultivation method.

By breaking free from the illusions in one's heart, one gains control over one's restless mind.

He really is a monster.

"Huh!?"

Inside the inner world, the mad monk was completely dumbfounded.

How old is this young master? He actually managed to lock his mind, break free from his inner demons, and escape from the realm of hungry ghosts. Is this kid a monster?

"I never expected him to have such a sudden enlightenment. I must say, this young master's fate is indeed special, and his comprehension is like that of a monster."

Wugensheng muttered to himself.

However, seeing Chen Yuan overcome his inner demons and control his mind, he was suddenly enlightened and had a glimmer of understanding. He also knew more or less how to break the deadlock.

First, the heart and lungs correspond to Shen in the Earthly Branches. Therefore, the Yang energy of the heart and lungs is figuratively compared to an active monkey. Its jumping and leaping characteristics reflect the activity state of the heart, namely "heart monkey".

In ancient Chinese thought, travel and experience could temper the mind, hence the title "Wanderer" was bestowed upon the Mind Monkey. The Mind Monkey's goal in cultivation was to reach the state of "emptiness," which perfectly aligns with the image of Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West," who endured hardships and ultimately achieved enlightenment.

Secondly, in the Five Elements and the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, the liver and kidneys correspond to the water element Hai (亥). Therefore, the Yin energy of the liver and kidneys is depicted as a pig indulging in lust. This pig symbolizes the seven emotions and six desires of human beings, which, if not restrained, will pose a threat to the restless mind. Unlike the monkey's method of cultivation, training this pig requires observing precepts, hence the name Bajie (Eight Precepts). However, lust is not entirely useless; it teaches us what is permissible and what is not. Therefore, the pig's goal in cultivation is to understand the true meaning of "ability."

Finally, the monkey and the pig are inherently opposite in character, destined for only one to excel. The spleen, representing the earth element in the Five Elements theory, plays a role in harmonizing the yang of the heart and the yin of the kidneys, hence the name "Sha Wujing" (Monk Sand). When yin and yang clash, Sha Wujing is responsible for reconciling the two, while he himself must remain calm and comprehend the state of "stillness." This aligns with Sha Wujing's approach to life in *Journey to the West*; his gentle nature and tactful dealings make him a model of cultivating stillness.

"We must control Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, and then use Sha Wujing as a mediator. We are one!"

Wugensheng chuckled and looked at his inner demon, Wugensheng.

"Damn it!"

The inner demon Wugensheng also sensed something was wrong and glared at Wugensheng through gritted teeth.

The guy in front of him seemed to have mastered his delusions; if he acted on his whims, he would be completely controlled by this guy.

"Huh!? Damn it, this thug-like kid actually made it?"

The mad monk was completely dumbfounded.

These two lads are simply too talented. One has learned a hundred different arts, and the other seems to have learned the alchemy of their Quanzhen lineage.

Of course, although their Xizhu Xinzong is a branch of the Quanzhen Longmen sect, their cultivation methods are still different.

Chapter 308 The spoils were successfully divided! (First update)

"We are one."

Wugensheng grinned, and at that moment, his inner demon returned to his body and merged with him.

Whoosh!

At this moment, a crack appeared in the void of the Hungry Ghost Realm, and Chen Yuan and Wugensheng returned from the Hungry Ghost Realm to the inner world formed by the previous Hehua Zizai Tianmoshu.

"came back?"

Chen Yuan chuckled.

His journey to cultivate in the realm of hungry ghosts elevated his state of mind, enabling him to control his mind and significantly improve his spiritual power.

It has to be said that going out to gain experience is definitely much better than working in isolation.

However, it was also quite dangerous, if it weren't for Wugensheng's warning.

He might not be able to grasp it.

No wonder Wugensheng was able to reach the realm of Divine Concealment. In terms of overall life cultivation, he might not be as good as Zhang Zhiwei.

However, he is unique in his cultivation of spiritual power.

Perhaps it's because this guy cultivates the Quanzhen Danfa (Complete True Elixir Method), who knows?

"Wugensheng must have some connection with Quanzhen. The method he just used must have been alchemy, no doubt about it."

Chen Yuan turned to look at Wugensheng, who looked utterly listless.

This guy was adopted by that old Taoist Feng. Could it be that old Taoist Feng is a Taoist of the Quanzhen School?

But he remembered that Master Feng was not an extraordinary person.

However, it's hard to say. After all, although Master Feng is not an extraordinary person, he might still be able to find someone to teach him the Wugensheng Danfa method.

Of course, the harvest this time was quite good, and the mad monk in front of them said that if they could pass through the Hungry Ghost Realm, he would give them the Demon Mantra of Transformation and the Treasure Map of Qinling.

"Hey, Master, you have to give us the Mantra of the Free and Unfettered Heaven and the Treasure Map of Qinling Mountains, right?"

Wugensheng chuckled and looked at the mad monk in front of him.

This time, entering the Hungry Ghost Realm allowed him to completely control his Mind Monkey, and he was able to obtain the Qinling Treasure Map and the Hehua Zizai Heavenly Demon Mantra.

"Don't worry, I keep my word. But you two are really monsters, managing to escape from the Hungry Ghost Realm so quickly!"

The mad monk's lips twitched.

These two kids are incredibly talented.

He thought the two boys might get lost in it.

I never expected it to actually come out.

Especially this young master in front of me, he's really astonishing.

"We were just lucky, senior. When will you give it to us?"

Chen Yuan looked at the mad monk in front of him.

He naturally wanted both of them.

After all, he was still very curious about the Eight Extraordinary Techniques of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley, not because he wanted to cultivate them, but because he was curious about the Eight Extraordinary Techniques themselves.

The Mantra of the Demon of Other-Transformation Needs No Further Explanation; it is a secret method for Buddhist trials.

Being able to directly enter the inner world is much more convenient than the Zhuge family's Guiyuan Formation.

Back then, Wang Ye, Zhang Chulan, and Zhuge Qing were able to enter the inner realm through the Guiyuan Formation thanks to Wang Ye's Feng Hou Qimen, which could restore the four plates to their proper order.

Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult.

Aside from accidentally entering an inner realm while practicing magic, actively entering an inner realm is quite difficult.

However, the inner world formed by the Hehua Zizai Tianmo Mantra is somewhat dangerous, and it is obviously not advisable to use it casually.

“I’ll go out and give it to you two right now. You two are really in a hurry.”

The mad monk muttered something.

Swish!

Suddenly, the entire blood-red inner world changed, and Chen Yuan and Wugensheng returned to the real world.

"Uncle-Master!"

Seeing that Chen Yuan's eyes had regained their clarity, Chang Si breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Ghost Hand King and the others had entrusted Chen Yuan to him.

If something goes wrong, he'll be in deep trouble.

Besides, he and Chen Yuan also had feelings for each other.

"Wugensheng and that brat have actually woken up!"

Mr. Liu also looked surprised.

These two guys are really something. The inner vision formed by this Otherworldly Demonic Mantra is completely different from that of an ordinary sorcerer. It's clear that these two lads have a very resilient mindset.

"Brother Chen seems to be alright."

Qi nodded slightly that day.

"Old Wang, those two lads are out."

Not far away, Yuan Jingui also showed a look of surprise.

This kid is truly a prodigy; he actually woke up.
