C1848 Mood and spirit
The scenery of the Dao Sect was beautiful like a painting.
Xiao Chen brought Jiang Lingxi around the entire Dao Sect. Jiang Lingxi was incredibly happy.
During this period of time, she was full of smiles.
"You, if you don't continue to cultivate diligently, lacrimal and the others will definitely surpass you." Xiao Chen raised his hand and tapped Jiang Lingxi's forehead. Jiang Lingxi did not mind this and continued to smile happily.
"What are you afraid of? You will protect me."
Xiao Chen shook his head and could not help but laugh. After that, the two of them returned to the garden.
Jiang Lingxi knew that there was something wrong with Xiao Chen, so she did not follow.
On the other hand, Xiao Chen got up and headed straight for Jing Tianxuan's residence. He still had some things he needed to ask.
"Master." Xiao Chen called out.
When Jing Tianxuan stepped out, he seemed to be omnipresent.
Looking at Xiao Chen, Jing Tianxuan smiled.
"Eighth Heavenly Layer of the semi-sage realm." He sighed in admiration before continuing, "There has never been a person as talented as you in the Dao Sect. Your talent can be compared with the Dao Sect's previous generations. It seems like my judgement is correct."
Xiao Chen smiled at this.
Xiao Chen naturally remembered how the Dao Sect had nurtured him.
"Did you come here for the sake of cultivation?" Jing Tianxuan saw through Xiao Chen's thoughts.
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Indeed. I have come here to seek the Dao. Today's cultivation has changed my mental state and temperament. Please advise me, Master."
Hearing that, Jing Tianxuan smiled.
He stood with his hands behind his back, walked to the tea house, and sat down cross-legged to make tea.
Xiao Chen stood there quietly, looking at Jing Tianxuan. He did not make a sound.
After a long while, Jing Tianxuan raised his head and looked at Xiao Chen.
Mood, it is merely your own emotional state. Humans have gone through many vicissitudes, and success or failure is all a state of mind, what you need to do is not see, but see. You need to know that the thing that affects you is not only yourself, but also your surrounding environment.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded slightly.
Just as his teacher had said, when he had entered the semi-sage realm, he had emptied everything and merged with nature. At that moment, he finally understood everything and broke through all shackles, entering the semi-sage realm. However, it was different now.
What he sought was the Divine Path.
It is not a small epiphany to attack the path of the Sage.
Xiao Chen needed to reach a certain limit in his comprehension of himself. Then, he needed to adjust his state of mind. Furthermore, all of this was already in Xiao Chen's grasp.
Others, unable to control, unable to help.
Xiao Chen's eyes flashed; he was very secretive.
Then, Jing Tianxuan continued, "As for personality …"
He smiled.
Then, he continued, "On this point, everyone has their own understanding. The Zen sect believes that the wise should be enlightened and turn into Buddha, and there are also people in Confucianism who say that the heart is the same, that is, the mind is immediate.
In fact, in the end, it was just a sentence. He wanted to make things his own way; he wanted to make things his own way.
If you want to cultivate the nature of the heart, you should first cultivate the heart.
If one does not cultivate the heart, then even if one's thoughts do not stop there will be no improvement in their personality. "
Xiao Chen's eyes flashed.
Mentality training?
He had freely practiced the martial way for over two hundred years, and he knew that his heart was firm. Why did he need to cultivate his heart?
But Jing Tianxuan continued, "I know you have a firm heart, but this practice is not for other people. After the semi-sage, there will be a sub-sage, called a sub-sage. Regardless of good or evil, there will always be a balance in the heart of the person.
However, if one was not a saint, who would be able to surpass him?
That was why there were so many subsaints and so few saints. It was because of the imbalance in their hearts that they were unable to produce saints that could transcend the subsaints. When they reached the Sage realm, they would be at the peak of martial arts.
However, there were still differences between strong and weak.
This was because the most sacred path still had its own path of sage.
Even though a Saint was above the subsage realm, they were still not a perfect existence.
"This is martial arts, do you understand?"
Jing Tianxuan's words caused Xiao Chen's heart to tremble.
Indeed, the path of martial arts didn't depend on pure practice.
Comprehension was equally important.
Xiao Chen left. Looking at Xiao Chen's back, Jing Tianxuan smiled and nodded.
He believed that Xiao Chen understood what he meant.
This trip would definitely help him greatly. As for what happened after that, it was not something he could control. Everything would depend on Xiao Chen's heart.
On the way, Xiao Chen kept pondering deeply.
Her eyes were filled with seriousness.
There seemed to be a problem that could not be solved.
Heartforce … Xiao Chen touched his chest and felt his heart beating. He fell silent. Cultivating his mental state, he did not think too much.
Xiao Chen thought back to when he had been growing wild along the way.
The more Xiao Chen thought, the more serious his expression became.
Along the way, he killed countless corpses and mountains of blood.
He kept telling himself in his heart that it was obsession, but he could not deny that it was Xiao Chen's own wild imagination.
It was because of its existence that Xiao Chen had come so far.
It was Xiao Chen's power.1
However, it was also a hindrance for Xiao Chen.
It was blocking Xiao Chen's footsteps, blocking Xiao Chen's path to become a Martial Saint.
Xiao Chen's eyes flashed.
After Xiao Chen returned to the courtyard, he once again entered into closed door cultivation. Jiang Lingxi was also cultivating. Xiao Chen did not disturb her. Xiao Chen sat quietly where he was. His eyes flashed, and there was a complicated emotion flowing in them.
It was not an easy thing to sever all presumptuous thoughts.
This was not like the time of the semi-sage.
"Female Emperor." Xiao Chen called out.
She looked at Xiao Chen and said softly, "What your master said is correct, but it is not right. Everyone has their own views on personality, you do not have to follow his instructions."
Hearing that, Xiao Chen said, "Of course I know that.
But regardless of which point it is, the presumptuous thought must be dispelled, or else one will not be able to comprehend the sacred path, right? "
Empress of the Southern Phoenix nodded.
That's true.
It wasn't that people didn't have any presumptuous thoughts, but rather, they had their presumptuous thoughts cut off when they were trying to break into the sage realm. This allowed them to smoothly comprehend the divine path, and thus make it easier for them to not be bewitched.
As for the subsage realm and supreme sage realm, they still had their wild thoughts.
A person's presumptuous thoughts could not be severed.
It could only be temporarily suppressed.
Seeing Xiao Chen's resolute expression, Empress of the Southern Phoenix said, "Actually, there are many ways to suppress delusions. Don't you already have a buddhist cultivation technique? You just need to cultivate the Ancient Book of Rebirth every day."
This is the so-called control of the heart.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen could not help but smile.
"You know quite a lot."
With regards to this, the Empress of the Southern Phoenix snorted coldly, "Even though I have been growing up under the protection of the Spirit Emperor, I have read many books and know everything in this world. In this world, there are many things that I do not know."
As she spoke, she put her hands on her hips, her face full of pride.
Xiao Chen could not be bothered with her. His body immediately emitted a resplendent immortal light; it was gentle and helped the world. Xiao Chen sat where he was. He looked solemn like a golden Buddha; he had also cultivated the buddhist arts before.
He wasn't proficient enough, but he believed that it should be enough!
