C1331 Dual Cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism
"One with spirit, calmly guard the dantian, have no desires nor desires, transcend the mortal world, obtain peace and quiet, always at ease, meditate, view the sea through the clouds, flick your sleeves and sweep the flowers …"
This was the introductory book to the Buddhist Forest Heart Sutra, meaning that only by calming down one's mind, one would be able to start on the next step of cultivation. But Zhao Jinbao already had the experience of training before this, so he passed this stage easily.
Zhao Jinbao's so-called lack of desire and lack of desire, transcending the worldly realm, was to suppress the heart demon, and to have no distractions in his mind. When Zhao Jinbao created the Wickedness Clone, that was where the heart demon resided.
Ordinary cultivators would first train in Spiritual Sense, then the Spirit Sea, the dantian, and then the Qi Sea.
However, the first thing this Buddhist Forest cultivated was the Dantian. To cultivate the Boundless Universe within the body, one had to cultivate a great ability like the legendary One Sand One World, One Leaf One Subhuti.
Cultivators who reach a certain level could still create heaven and earth, and turn the universe around. It was just that the Buddhist Forest had a different path, and it was a different kind of exploration for Zhao Jinbao.
Zhao Jinbao took in a deep breath and then attempted to absorb the first Buddha relics into his own Dantian. Because he had the nine Buddha relics s as backup, he already had some buddhist energy in his body. Thus, after absorbing the first Buddha relics, he felt his whole body's buddhist energy entering his dantian, instantly dispersing all the baleful qi in his dantian.
His dantian was a small world, and there was Buddhism energy in his body. This made up for the lack of practice of the buddhist cultivation technique, making him feel as if it was a natural thing to do.
However, now that the first Buddha relics had entered his Dantian, the haze in his Dantian was immediately dispersed. This Buddha relics was like a sun that was floating in the air, spreading out a gentle luster that moistened the earth.
He had already sat in his own bedroom for seven days. Every day, Nangong Jueying would deliver three meals to him, but he had not been forced to eat anything every day.
In her memories, Zhao Jinbao had never closed up for this long before. Normally, this group of disciples would cultivate in the plaza and a third of the Spirit Convergence Array's spirit energy would be sucked out every day, entering Zhao Jinbao's bedroom.
This meant that Zhao Jinbao was currently cultivating, and was beginning to bear fruit.
During the first seven days, the room was filled with the sounds of buddhist chanting. When the inner disciples cultivated, they would give them a feeling of peace.
In the next seven days, faint sounds of wind and thunder began to appear in the room, giving everyone a very special feeling of oppression.
On the third day, the sound of wind and thunder in the room calmed down. All sound disappeared, as if no one had ever cultivated inside.
On the fourth seven days, a vortex of spirit energy between heaven and earth started to appear as it rushed into Zhao Jinbao's room. The three rays of light, Sun, Moon and Star, appeared at the same time, vaguely showing the signs of a natural phenomenon.
On the fifth day, a sweet smell began to waft into the room. This smell was like the fragrance of a blue lotus, and the entire sect was filled with this sweet smell.
In the sixth seven days, a gigantic picture of a Yin Yang fish appeared in the sky above Zhao Jinbao's bedroom. Furthermore, it was still revolving non-stop, and the three rays of light from the Sun, Moon and Star converged as one and continuously fused into Zhao Jinbao's room. At the same time, the Spirit Convergence Array was useless as the spirit energy in every corner of the sect was the same as the core concentration of the Spirit Convergence Array.
On the seventh day, seven days, forty-nine days, a huge Buddha statue suddenly appeared in the air above the Four Symbols Sect. This Buddha statue was Zhao Jinbao's face and he was dressed in a fiery red robe with nine golden crows embroidered on it.
It was actually not correct to say that it was a Buddha statue, because this statue was not the bald head of a monk, but had long hair that draped over it. It had two different expressions on its face, half of its face was glaring while the other half was filled with elegance and warmth, was looking at the disciples of Four Symbols Sect.
Therefore, there was no difference if they were from the inner sect or outer sect. All of them were inner sect disciples, and when nearly three thousand people saw this scene, they all kneeled on the ground. "Disciples welcome the elders out of seclusion."
Zhao Jinbao laughed out loud and walked out of the room. Behind him, a buddhist light appeared, but this buddhist light was produced from Yin and Yang, with a cathode that was pitch-black like ink, and an anode that was as bright as the morning sun. It had a calm aura, long hair hanging down its shoulders, and was dressed in a red robe.
At this moment, his dantian was filled with vitality, not only were there mountains and rivers, there were also insects chirping, which meant that this world had already started its own cultivation. With this world as a realm, even Buddhist Monk Kong Zhi had not reached it, but he never expected Zhao Jinbao to.
Every step of his made the lotus flower, but it was the black lotus. "Disciples, please rise. Tomorrow, I will preach at the square. You can all come and listen."
After Zhao Jinbao finished speaking, he waved his sleeve and disappeared.
Right now, he was at the threshold of truly coming into contact with experts. He was a true expert who was able to come in contact with the Heavenly Dao.
When Zhao Jinbao had just finished his cultivation and was able to condense a Buddha statue, he suddenly received an intense message from the other dragon pearl. The dragon pearl was in the southeast direction, he had already faintly sensed its call.
In the next moment, Zhao Jinbao's landing spot was right in front of Nangong Jueying's room. Nangong Jueying was currently resting on the table, with a dim oil lamp by his side. The lamp was lit like a bean, it was obvious that the lamp oil had been used up.
Nangong Jueying held a book in her hands, and flipped through it halfway. It seemed that she had fallen asleep while reading.
Zhao Jinbao took off the Nine Suns Golden Crow Robe on his body and lightly covered Nangong Jueying's body. Although they were cultivators, they still needed to rest, unlike the legends, where where where every cultivator would put their lives on the line and train with their life on the line, other than Zhao Jinbao, who had been in closed-door training for forty-nine days, Zhao Jinbao did not pay much attention to cultivation.
Perhaps because she was sleeping rather lightly, when the Nine Suns Golden Crow Robe s covered her body, Nangong Jueying's body trembled, and then, she slowly woke up. When she raised her head, she could not help but be stunned when she saw Zhao Jinbao standing by her side.2
The teachings between the two were different. Generally speaking, cultivators with the same cultivation should have been cultivating since young, so no matter what, they should not cultivate during the True Immortal Stage. This was because the Genuine Qi s would mutually reject each other, and humans' meridians would not be able to withstand the pressure caused by this mutual exclusion.
This was why Zhao Jinbao's baleful qi seeped into his body and formed restrictions with his buddhist qi. This was why he was able to cultivate properly, otherwise he would definitely be severely injured.
