Chapter 35 One withers, one flourishes; they arise from opposites.

Officially entering Mind Sea?

Seeing Ji Jingqiu’s hesitant expression, Old Master Yang spoke again, still using telepathy so that it wouldn’t reach the ears of a third person.

“There are two reasons for letting you enter the sea of ​​the mind now.”

“First, your physical body has begun to take shape, which is a qualitative transformation. Logically speaking, your current physical body is already capable of supporting your current spiritual cultivation.”

I suspect that your disorientation a few days ago occurred before the transformation of your physical body.

“Secondly, it’s because you’ve already been lost once and made contact with the sea of ​​the soul. You can’t delay any longer. Rather than continuing to be passively summoned, you should take the initiative to make contact.”

Ji Jingqiu suddenly realized what was happening, greeted everyone, and sat down, sitting right next to Zhang Xingshan.

Zhang Xingshan nodded to him, his gaze subtly sweeping over Luo Xi and the bald man with the thick gold chain on stage.

Unbeknownst to her, Ji Jingqiu, who had been promoted to a higher generation, didn’t understand his gaze and looked blank.

Noticing Zhang Xingshan’s subtle actions, Luo Xi glared at him angrily.

She has already contacted her family, and the “Old Luo” they mentioned is not her father, but her grandfather!

According to her family’s wishes, she should respectfully address this man as Eighth Master.

If we really go by that, wouldn’t Ji Jingqiu, whom this person calls “our brother,” also be considered his grandfather?

That’s definitely not how you calculate it!

“Now that my brother’s here, the group’s complete.” Zhang Chongba, who’d been dragged along by Yang Yan to do the hard labor, rubbed his bald head and sighed. Dao said, “Let’s begin. Don’t waste time, light the incense!”

After waiting for a while and seeing that no one moved, Zhang Chongba looked in surprise in the direction of his second uncle.

At this moment, Old Master Yang was still giving Ji Jingqiu his final explanation when he felt Zhang Chongba’s gaze and frowned as he glanced at him.

Zhang Chongba suddenly realized.

Should I ask my second uncle to light incense for me?

Wow, that’s exciting!

He glared at Yang Yao and said earnestly, “How can you, as the Great Master, have no sense of responsibility or vision?”

Yang Yao: “…”

A perfectly balanced fragrance gradually filled the air, permeating every corner and seeping into everyone’s hearts, igniting a sense of peace and tranquility within them.

Smelling the aroma of 300,000, Ji Jingqiu didn’t rush to enter Samadhi.

Master Yang was still explaining the precautions to him.

Moreover, he doesn’t need anyone to guide him in entering Samadhi.

“ The Mind Sea is divided into five layers: the outer layer, the shallow layer, the deep layer, the Pole Abyss, and the ‘wasteland’ that no one has entered to this day.”

“When you first enter the Mind Sea, if no one guides you or gives you directions, you will basically get lost after walking a short distance and end up wandering around the outer areas.”

“But with Chongba around, he will point you in the right direction, and you can move forward with confidence.”

All you have to do is stride forward, go as far as you can, until you can’t hold on any longer.

The depth of your first formal exploration and the coordinates you grasp are extremely crucial to your subsequent spiritual practice.

Yang Yan felt a pang of regret.

I don’t know Dao What Visualization Method did Jingqiu practice before?

Unfortunately, it’s not 【 Hungry Tiger Holding a Knife Diagram 】.

Although the 【 Hungry Tiger Holding a Knife Diagram 】 is a simplified version of the 【 Dragon Tiger Wind Cloud Diagram 】, it still retains a trace of divine meaning.

After visualizing the Major Achievement, one can use this divine will to invite a wisp of Divine Thought from the ” Supervising Army Divine Lord ” in the Mind Sea to protect those on both sides and ward off evil spirits.

The reason the Federation does not prohibit the development of religions based on deities is because these deities are needed to help humanity maintain order in the Pole Abyss zone of the Sea of ​​the Soul.

In the existing divine system of the Federation, the Supervising Army Divine Lord’s rank is second only to the four chief deities.

Guided by Zhang Chongba, Ji Jingqiu’s mind gradually calmed down.

A feeling of weightlessness gradually came over me.

Ji Jingqiu seemed to descend from the sky, surrounded by a deep abyss that could swallow everything.

Until a blue flame lamp was lit, hanging above, cutting a clear and distinct boundary in the deep, dark world.

He opened his eyes.

The light of the heart shines into the eyes.

His gaze merged with the firelight, allowing him to see clearly what was beneath his feet and in front of him. Apart from the area shrouded by the heart lamp, everything around him was pitch black, and he couldn’t see his own hand in front of his face.

Amidst a rattling sound reminiscent of fingertips rubbing metal, a blurry sensation emerged from the darkness, like countless overlapping shadows dancing wildly, appearing eerie and sinister.

This is the root cause of the Federal Martial Arts ‘ ever-increasing stature—

Mind Sea?

Information about Mind Sea gradually surfaced in Ji Jingqiu’s mind.

After meeting the citizen rank requirements and updating his terminal, he specifically searched for information about Mind Sea multiple times.

The Federation was founded 10,000 years ago, and since then, its territory has expanded very little.

But this does not mean that the Federation is content with the status quo; on the contrary, the Federation has never stopped its pioneering efforts.

The direction of exploration is no longer limited to the starry sky, but extends to the other side—

Mind Sea is also known by many as the Dark Wilderness.

The mystery and magnificence of this world far exceed human imagination; some even believe that it holds the secrets of immortality and godhood.

Last time, I got lost and wandered in too quickly, so Ji Jingqiu didn’t have time to really experience it.

He stood still, quietly sensing the scene.

A vague sense of pent-up pressure builds up in my heart over time, making me feel suffocated, depressed, and lonely.

This should be what the forum refers to as “water pressure”.

The longer you stay, or the deeper you go, the more “water pressure” will accumulate until you can’t hold on any longer and have to quit voluntarily, or be forced to “burst out”.

The forum said that the latter felt exactly like death.

At the same time, many dangers lurk in the Mind Sea.

Such involuntary withdrawal is often accompanied by severe psychological trauma, or even death.

Every year, many Martial Artists encounter this situation, not because of accidents, but because of “greed”.

The accumulated “water pressure” will transform into fuel for the heart lamp, helping it burn brighter and brighter.

When the lamp of the heart burns brightest, it is the moment when the soul is elevated.

But a Martial Artist cannot continuously enter and exit the sea of ​​the mind.

This is related to the Realm of the Mind and the visualizations used in spiritual practice.

That’s why some Martial Artists try to accumulate as much fuel as possible at once, only to end up making things worse.

The deeper you go into the Mind Sea, the higher the quality of the firewood you get.

Furthermore, the deeper you go, the greater the chance of finding opportunities.

It is said that the early Mind Sea was full of Opportunities, allowing the first group of Martial Artists to climb one Wudao Mountain after another.

Feeling the oppressive feeling in her heart, Ji Jingqiu had a sudden thought.

In an instant, branches sprouted from the heart lamp, and the bodhi little tree took root in the heart lamp, scattering clear light and supporting a pure land once again.

It was still four feet long, but it illuminated a much larger area than the lamp in my heart.

The pent-up depression and silence in my heart immediately lessened considerably.

This puzzled Ji Jingqiu.

Reducing the burden is a good thing, but will it slow down the pace of accumulating firewood?

Soon, Ji Jingqiu got the answer—

The effect of the clear light of the glazed glass is not to suppress, but to amplify.

Increase his capacity to hold firewood.

If someone else’s capacity is a bowl, then his is now a basin, and this capacity will continue to grow as the Pure Land expands.

Given time, even a small vat might be acceptable.

This made Ji Jingqiu fall silent.

Just then, that familiar sense of calling came again from a very distant place.

It’s much stronger than before!

Just as Ji Jingqiu hesitated, a rope-like thread of the soul silently wrapped around his waist.

He felt very familiar with him; it was Zhang Chongba!

Coincidentally, the direction Eighth Brother guided him deeper coincided with that strange calling.

After thinking for a moment, Ji Jingqiu decided to find out.

He followed this call and went deeper.

There is no concept of time in the Mind Sea.

After he had been gone for an unknown amount of time, even the expanded “appetite” of Ruri Seiko gradually became unbearable for him due to the accumulated water pressure.

It’s like a long-accumulated feeling of fatigue gradually bursting forth from the bottom of your heart.

It was a weariness that came from the heart, so tired that it felt like the heart could no longer beat.

His steps grew heavier and heavier, and the thought of stopping here and returning to this place kept flashing through his mind…

In a daze.

He felt as if he had returned to the dream he had last night.

That towering divine tree, reaching from the sky to the earth, has traversed countless eons, its branches and leaves flourishing, supporting a sacred land of the gods.

The branches are called Dao, and the leaves are called Gui.

It is rooted in the deepest, most mysterious places, and it pierces through layers of mist.

Such a magnificent sight is truly breathtaking!

Ji Jingqiu was stunned, unsure whether the scene before her was an illusion or reality.

Just then, the towering tree that seemed to support the entire Mind Sea suddenly withered and died in an instant, and the Kingdom of God ushered in twilight.

Above Ji Jingqiu’s head, the bodhi little tree rooted in the heart lamp swayed gently, its green leaves a deep blue-green hue. Though smaller than a single branch of the other tree, it was full of vitality.

The two, one withering and the other flourishing, exist in opposition to each other.

…

…

Time passed second by second.

Everyone, including Yang Yao, has finished Entering Samadhi and left the area.

Only Ji Jingqiu continues.

Beads of sweat the size of soybeans began to appear on Zhang Chongba’s full, round bald head.

Watching this scene, Yang Yan couldn’t help but recall the first time he guided Ji Jingqiu. Entering Samadhi.

He waited for four hours that time, but couldn’t see Ji Jingqiu’s limit at all. Since it was getting late, he took action to wake him up.

Yang Yan suddenly fell silent.

He had previously told Ji Jingqiu that all she needed to do was hold on until she couldn’t take it anymore.

But in fact, there is another situation—

That means the person in charge of guiding things couldn’t hold on any longer.
