Chapter 10, The First Step on the Path of Cultivation

When reaching two hundred breaths.

As the words fell, Gu Dao's lips began to move, and one obscure syllable after another was slowly uttered from his mouth

As long as I can refine the spell seed, I will be able to use my own divine powers!" Mo Bei muttered the incantation, while the explanation of the ancient Dao echoed continuously in his mind.

Mo Bei let out a long sigh, found a relatively cool cave in the desert, and sat cross-legged.

A trace of surprise flowed through Mo Bei's heart

If Mo Bei had not cultivated in his previous life, he would have long since developed the habit of remaining as still as a clock, adapting to monotony. At this moment, he is completely unable to persevere, having long lost his patience, which leads to fluctuations in his state of mind, ultimately resulting in complete abandonment and a waste of time and energy

Mo Bei felt as if his body were a sponge, absorbing endless spiritual energy, like an abyss, devouring all spiritual energy. With this consumption, a sensation of extreme comfort spread outward from his entire being

After the time it takes to drink two cups of tea

The vital energy permeates the body, as if the heart opens the eyes, allowing for a clear insight into the surroundings, where every detail is vividly apparent

Mo Bei was in a wondrous state, filled with immense joy and unparalleled happiness

This ethereal feeling made him unable to restrain himself from moaning aloud, exclaiming: "So comfortable, so delightful!"

The overall comfort made Mo Bei feel as if his entire body was floating in a daze

With each breath, a world unfolds

Suddenly, in Mo Bei's mind, beneath the Rock Sword Technique, a runic seed emerged. Mo Bei sensed it slightly; it was indeed the Innate Extreme Path True Demon Art

It is the mantra that practitioners of the Primordial Extreme Demon Sect must learn upon entry, consisting of over one thousand characters. Whether you have the affinity for it depends on your understanding of this mantra. Do you remember it

Qi enters from the outside and exits from within, circulating in a continuous cycle, perceiving the heavens and the earth

In this continuous process of answering inquiries, suddenly, the potential points behind Mo Bei's plus sign began to increase in value, starting from one and surging all the way to thirteen in one breath

Divine powers encompass all, while the essence is concentrated in the Three Pure Ones

Only the rhythmic, faint gasps can be heard echoing within the cave hetushu .com .com

After reciting the ancient mantra three times, he completed the transmission of the incantation. Clearing his throat, he slowly said: "This chapter of the incantation is called the True Magic Formula of the Pre-Heavenly Ultimate Path"

Breathe in, breathe out

A hint of coolness has finally emerged across the entire desert

In the realm of five hundred million heavens, within the three thousand paths of existence

Thinking of this, Mo Bei continuously recited the incantation in his mind, persistently guiding himself in the manner taught by the Primordial Extreme Dao True Demon Technique

"Good," the ancient path nodded slightly, his expression gradually becoming serious as he slowly said: "Now I shall impart the incantation to you, so pay close attention."

Call ... ... ''

Suddenly, Mo Bei's entire body trembled

At this moment, his entire mind swiftly entered a state of tranquility devoid of thought, unresponsive and unmoving, neither welcoming nor dismissing, neither contending nor clarifying, with nothing else remaining

In just three breaths, his state of mind transformed from chaotic thoughts to a singular focus, free from distractions, with his mind clear and serene.

Mo Bei pondered silently, and with a shift in thought, he asked: "Then Master, 'Raise the sword to break the heavens, and swing to sever the earth's pivot' seems to be an inspiring phrase. Does Master also have a hidden meaning? What does it refer to?"

The Dantian suddenly opened, and spiritual energy surged forth! I understand now, this is spiritual energy! It must be spiritual energy! Mo Bei was filled with mixed emotions: "This world is different from the previous one; the spiritual energy is abundant. As long as one can absorb spiritual energy, the more one absorbs, the faster the cultivation speed will be!"

The ancient path nodded slightly and said: "I, the Primordial Extreme Demon Sect, have the divine thoughts of heaven in my mind and the blood energy of the earth in my heart; this is the heaven and earth of my Primordial Extreme Demon Sect"

Mo Bei thought to himself in the dark

The ultimate principle is often empty and tranquil, while the profound transformation responds to the true essence.

I remember now, this is called the Spirit Platform in the Innate Extreme Dao True Demon Technique! I never reached this state in my previous life, but in this life, I have finally succeeded

Mo Bei suddenly realized and firmly etched the words of the ancient path in his heart

Fortunately, in my previous life, I practiced ancient techniques, making me well-versed in this breathing method. Otherwise, just entering the state of breathing practice would require a full day and night, and seven days would certainly not be enough.

Various thoughts swirled in my mind, accompanied by an endless sense of comfort and relaxation, as time seemed to fly by, continuing until dawn

Mo Bei murmured the incantation softly, his brows slightly furrowed. Only upon hearing his words did he raise his head to respond: "The younger generation has already memorized it"

With a slight movement of his hands, Mo Bei paused for a moment, gazing in astonishment at his remarkably agile hands. Within his body, there seemed to be a sense of power he had never experienced before; this was different from the internal energy he had known, but rather a peculiar kind of energy.

Mo Bei directly called out to Master, leveraging connections

Finally, it is said that

Completely comfortable

This is true qi, a unique essence of cultivators, a profoundly mysterious spiritual energy that circulates freely within the body, through the forty-eight thousand pores and the nine orifices of the hundred bones, possessing incredible power

It turns out that this plus sign signifies the need to absorb knowledge. I have learned quite a bit from Master Gu Dao, all of which is secret transmission, thus adding considerable value

Mo Bei's body has become considerably lighter than before; with just a slight movement within the room, he can dance and glide, creating a mesmerizing illusion within a space of several feet.

If you have any questions or uncertainties, feel free to raise them. This is the way of the ancients

As the warm current spread from the dantian, Mo Bei was astonished to discover that gentle streams of energy began to converge, quickly enveloping his entire body and seeping into him through his skin

The ancient path spoke for three hours, without further conversation

Three days later, at dawn! The eastern sky reveals a fish-belly white, and the entire desert falls into silence

At this moment, Mo Bei seems to have undergone a complete transformation overnight, with a restrained aura that gives an impression of transcendence and detachment from the world.

If it were not for the master's teachings, relying solely on my own understanding, I would likely fall into the wrong path again

In a daze, there is form; in solitude, there is the formless.

During the span of three hours, Mo Bei expressed all the questions he did not understand. The ancient scholar patiently explained everything, and Mo Bei committed his words to memory, capturing them as if they were inscribed in a book.

Mo Bei is overjoyed; with such divine abilities, what secret techniques can he not master by himself

All six realms are devoid of substance, and all phenomena return to emptiness

The world has fallen into silence, with not a sound from crows or sparrows.

True self, sitting meditation, entering a state of deep concentration, controlling the sensation of qi

The absorbed spiritual energy transformed into a peculiar power, coursing through Mo Bei's body, refining every limb and bone, purifying the marrow and cleansing the essence, tempering the flesh, eliminating impurities, and expelling residual toxins from within the body

However, Mo Bei can now sense things from several zhang away, even more than ten zhang. This is only because he has just broken through. As time passes, his spiritual awareness will diminish and eventually stabilize. In the first level of the Qi Refining stage, the range of his spiritual awareness is merely three feet from his body

Cultivation requires a mind free of distractions; only with a tranquil heart can one comprehend the Way

Mo Bei could not help but secretly admire.

Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out, breathe in

Moreover, it seems as if an eye has grown within his body, capable of clearly seeing everything within himself, from the large internal organs to the tiniest blood vessels, all visible. A peculiar vital energy flows gently, nourishing his body

Mo Bei shouted loudly, standing against the wind, his eyes flashing with brilliance, revealing ecstasy, laughing heartily, his voice bold, carrying a hundred feet away with the wind

His mind focused on the dantian, breathing slowly, and began to cultivate according to the cultivation technique

The spiritual energy surging within the meridians began to flow increasingly faster

What a ridiculous notion to sever the seven emotions and cut off the six desires! It is simply laughable! Compared to ordinary people, perhaps the obsessions and desires of cultivators are even more intense, certainly not less; otherwise, they would not have come this far!

This is a rather lengthy, tedious, and monotonous process

Mo Bei felt the true energy flowing slowly within his body. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly, repeating this process three times.

This is so exhilarating, so thrilling; this is what life is all about

Mo Bei felt a slight stirring in his heart, as if a warm current had emerged from his dantian, gradually spreading throughout his body. Every pore of his being seemed to open up, greedily absorbing this warmth.

Right and wrong remain to be determined, life and death are boundless.

Mo Bei has repeated this action for five or six hours, yet his expression remains unchanged, calm and unhurried, exuding an air of tranquility, showing no signs of urgency or agitation

Mo Bei had long been waiting for this question and quickly asked: "In this mantra, the essence is in the Three Pure Ones. Master, may I ask which Three Pure Ones you are referring to?"

The ancient path replied slowly: "The Upper Clear Hundred Convergence, the Jade Clear Jade Hall, and the Great Clear Dan Tian, these are the Three Clears of my Pre-Heaven Extreme Demon Sect, distinct from other sects! These three acupoints form a triangular area for the purpose of comprehension and cultivation"

Master, Master! A low, surprised exclamation suddenly shattered the tranquility of this dawn.

Mo Bei immediately focused all his attention and began to listen carefully

It is truly astonishing that without cultivation, one would not know that life can be so exhilarating! What a thrill, what a thrill! No wonder it is said that those esteemed predecessors would retreat for decades without stepping outside; it turns out this is the reason. This feeling is so delightful, why go out? Hiding in the cultivation chamber to practice and enjoy this pleasure is the true path!

This is the special ability of cultivators! Mo Bei's vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch are integrated into one, transforming into a singular sensation; this is the spiritual perception of cultivators!

Raise the sword to break the heavens, then swing it to sever the earth's axis

Indeed, the feeling of happiness, a happiness that transcends all, is akin to the joy found high above in the heavens. Even if one holds a high official position, even if one is surrounded by beautiful women, even if one enjoys the finest delicacies, even if one indulges in the most potent elixirs, all of these pale in comparison to this feeling by countless times

So it is, mortals always think that cultivators are all eccentric, practicing for decades on end. In truth, only those who cultivate truly understand; it is not that cultivators can endure loneliness, but rather that they can attain joys beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Only a fool would not continue to cultivate. Delightful! Delightful!

This refreshing sensation, perhaps even the deities cannot withstand it

Ordinary people would likely have long since reached their breaking point, feeling distressed and agitated, and have begun to indulge in wild fantasies.

The endless spiritual energy in the air is gathering with increasing speed

Night falls

I see, I see! The path of cultivation is indeed like this! Today, I have finally taken the first step on my journey of cultivation!

As the body sheds all worries, the heart remains entangled with the dust of desire

As he turned his sleeve on the ancient path, in the next moment, his body began to fade at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in no time at all, he completely vanished from Mo Bei's sight

Mo Bei asked again, "Master, there must be some teachings in that Soul Nourishing Realm, right"

The "Zhan Di Shu" serves as a connection to the central axis, penetrating the entire universe. In this way, the previous two sentences can also be understood, indicating the transformation of the internal true energy into sharp spiritual energy, which is both firm and keen, thus allowing for unobstructed flow

This warmth is incredibly comfortable, gently flowing through every inch of Mo Bei's flesh and blood, as well as his bones. It feels as if, in the midst of extreme cold, he is enveloped by a gentle flame.

... ... ''

Unable to attain liberation, nurturing the soul within the universe

The ancient text explains: "In ancient scriptures, 'Heaven's Gate' often refers to the Purple Palace, while 'Earth's Pivot' refers to the Ren and Du meridians. Breaking through the Heaven's Gate means opening the Purple Palace and connecting heaven and earth.

Mo Bei felt as if his senses had suddenly awakened, and the outside world became extraordinarily vivid. For the first time, he was astonished to discover that everything before him had become so bright; within a radius of several zhang, all movements, whether seen or unseen, were almost entirely within his grasp. This sense of control was something he had never experienced before.

This is? '' Mo Bei's heart skipped a beat; he could clearly feel this force gently and slowly permeating into his body, ultimately gathering in his veins, flowing repeatedly along the pathways of his veins.

Very well. You have seven days; after seven days, I will come to find you. If you cannot comprehend the path of immortality, then you can only become my puppet.

Mo Bei gradually awakened, looking within himself, and was astonished to discover that a vast ocean had formed in his dantian. This was the Qi Sea, the place where cultivators accumulate true energy

Each breath is exceedingly gentle, with an interval of half a stick of incense.
