Chapter 4: Taoist Magic and Spells
She lifted her wrist and found it was only four o'clock in the afternoon. Chu Ping was overjoyed, but felt as if she were dreaming!
A few hours ago, I was still muddled and didn't know what to do. Now, however, I have undergone a complete transformation and touched an unimaginable wonderful world!
"I don't know if there are other cultivators in the world, but I'm sure there must be! The mundane world erases all individuality, pursuing a kind of sameness. But cultivating longevity is about asserting one's individuality, not being blinded by the worldly dust that obscures one's true nature. No wonder there are so many recluses who avoid the world in books!"
"These few hours have achieved so much, relying on the original heart's understanding after being honed by the mundane world, in addition to this extraordinary secret method! That person said that thick accumulation and thin emission, first having the way and then having the law, is precisely this principle! It seems that I still need to contemplate more!"
Chu Ping, who had figured this out, looked at the emerald ring on his hand with a hint of a smile. He lightly wiped his right index finger, and the emerald light disappeared, only visible to those with a chaotic soul within Mudan Palace. To others, it was just an ordinary iron ring.
The divine thing is profound and subtle, apart from itself, others find it hard to grasp its subtlety!
A slight movement of the mind, and the consciousness sinks into the space within the ring. In the vast sea of books, a few thread-like books are picked out. Although they look no different from ordinary books, the pages that exude a strong sense of vicissitude are indeed imperishable, showing that they are not ordinary paper!
These are some of the personal experiences and insights written by the ancestors of the Qitian Sect during their cultivation!
Chu Ping picked out some ancient books that looked more elegant, withdrew his mind, lay lazily on the head of the bed, and flipped open the thread-bound book in his hand.
However, in the book, they are all some practitioners' own understanding of Tao and Dharma!
"All that is tangible will eventually perish in the long river of time! The physical body is strong, but it's hard to be immortal! Only the spirit is indestructible, thoughts are eternal, with the Tao as the foundation, and the intangible carrying the tangible, can one laugh at the past and present, and look down upon the world!"
Chu Ping couldn't help but ponder, "This isn't unreasonable either. Materialists also say that some existing things are important and will eventually perish, while all mental phenomena will slowly disappear! The world of thought is intangible and incomprehensible, which is why there are endless opportunities, and it's the foundation of eternal life!"
Roughly flipping through the ancient book until the end, Chu Ping suddenly sat up straight, attracted by one of the passages.
"Throughout the ages, my Tianzong method is unparalleled in the world. However, there are also those who can be compared to me. I see that among the myriad schools of thought, one thought gives rise to all phenomena, and with a change of heart, spiritual transformation occurs. The mysteries are too profound to be spoken of, so I will record them here for the benefit of my future disciples in our sect, as a reference."
"Heh heh, it's indeed interesting, but I wonder if it was stolen or exchanged mutually!" Chu Ping thought to herself, and upon flipping to the last few pages of the book, she found a paragraph of techniques, which she carefully read through.
Before long, Chu Ping let out a deep breath, closed the book, shut his eyes and carefully thought back to the secrets of all things he had just seen.
"This secret book of the Ten Thousand Dharma Gates' cultivation is indeed extraordinary, and compared to the Qi Tian Sect, it also has some similarities. They all emphasize self-cultivation and enlightenment of spiritual powers, which were created by predecessors and are ultimately suitable for their own bodies. However, there are no two identical leaves in the world, and others' things can't fully match one's own. The dharma gates in the world are like the sands of the Ganges River. I suppose it was those sages who understood this principle that created their own dharma gates! It's easy to understand, but wanting to create a unique skill of one's own is not so simple!"
Look out of the window, but find that the sky has already darkened, quiet and cold winter, short day and long night, only six o'clock, but it's already pitch black!
Lost in thought, a pleasant ringtone suddenly sounded, Chu Ping picked up the phone and found it was Liu Qiang's call.
"Hey Xiao Ping, come out and have a meal with us, the girls are all here too!"
Chu Ping smiled and said, "No need, you guys eat!"
"What perfect timing! You're not going to let this opportunity slip away, are you?!"
"Got it. Got it, never mind, hang up first!"
The sound of "dudu" came, Chu Ping got out of bed and put on his shoes, went to the dining hall for dinner, and walked slowly onto the playground!
The cold wind and chill made the playground unusually deserted this season, even couples who often liked to take a stroll on the playground were nowhere to be found, either in their dorms or study rooms, only those exercising were running laps, empty and desolate.
Such an environment is just right for Chu Ping!
He has just started, but he has already grasped the subtleties of cultivation.
Many things in life require effort but don't necessarily yield results. However, when you encounter something you like, you often become fully engaged and get twice the result with half the effort!
Dislike this world, but can leave a piece of pure land for yourself!
Life can be carefree and content with what one has, but life itself must have something to hold on to!
Or this mysterious Tao Fa world is what Chu Ping wants to insist on!
Although, there are still many things in this world that are hard to let go of, and the responsibilities that come with being human. The expectations of loved ones, the pursuit of humanity, parents and friends back home, and in another city, the unforgettable person who is always on your mind!
Chu Ping raised her head and looked east, despite the high mountains and buildings blocking her way, her gaze seemed to pierce through the infinite distance, crossing over countless obstacles, and saw the person she wanted to see!
Or, with so many responsibilities and yearnings, at least I've encountered a world where I can entrust my longing!
Sitting in the middle of the green football field on the playground, still cross-legged and meditating, a strand of heavenly spiritual energy entered his body, also stirring up the majestic chaotic energy inside the Mud Ball Palace, washing and cleansing his muscles, bones, and meridians, tempering his physical body, and his divine consciousness was slowly growing!
There must be Tao first and then laws, there must be laws first and then techniques!
After nearly twenty years of life in the mortal world, I can still keep my spirit pure and untainted. This is the best way to cultivate oneself. Now that I have obtained this method, I can start practicing!
A cultivator, with their own strength can defy the heavens and earth, relying on control and grasp, having penetrated to the source of power between heaven and earth, a body as light as a feather can move a force of a thousand pounds!
There is a way and a law, which can lead to eternal life; there are laws and skills that can achieve immortality on the path of eternal life!
The Way is a kind of enlightenment, a kind of original heart, to understand oneself and participate in the universe, the mystery of day and month, the creation of heaven and earth! The Law is a kind of accumulation of power, transformed into one's own treasure, making oneself strong enough! The Method is the application of this treasure, defeating the enemy, winning victories, and withstanding changes!
Chu Ping is now not lacking in moral integrity, and the accumulation of yuan qi energy is even simpler!
The person trapped in the Thousand Buddha Mountain was also a top-notch figure in the Qitian Sect back then, with an unfathomable level of magical power. After being sealed for thousands of years, all his magical powers were absorbed and refined by the treasure pagoda, transforming into pure primordial chaos energy, whose effects far surpassed any heavenly spiritual essence or golden elixir!
It can be said that the Yuanli in Tane's body is the greatest treasure on Chuping's body, second only to those Taoist scriptures!
There are also examples of sudden enlightenment after long periods of practice in the history of cultivation. After understanding the great Tao for decades, some cultivators can break through to the void and ascend to heaven in just a few months, and it's not uncommon for them to become immortals!
Chu Ping, although not a stunningly talented and extraordinary person, is also not an ordinary person. Although he cannot achieve great success in a short period of time, the speed at which his magical powers grow is also rare and unheard of!
Hard work and hard practice don't necessarily lead to achievement, everything is the wonder of fate and one's own destiny!
Pure and refined vital energy resists the meridians, bones and skeleton. The originally weak Qi and blood have become incredibly full, and the mind is growing at an astonishing speed!
Cultivation is always necessary, wealth and nobility are secondary!
Wealth is used to seek spiritual treasures, Dharma is the foundation of cultivation, land is spiritual veins and mountains, companions are mutual exchange of heart achievements!
Now the Chu Ping, one of the methods of law, the mysterious and wonderful kung fu of the Qi Tian Zong, is profound and mysterious! As for the wealth and land, what they are looking for is nothing but the rich spiritual energy and yuan force. The yuan force left behind by that person in the mountains far surpasses any spiritual mountain or spiritual essence! Not to mention the companions, the countless books written by the predecessors of the past can be compared with the explanations of anyone in the current cultivation world!
Everything is ready, only waiting for the east wind!
And this East Wind is just an accumulation of time, a buffer space for the growth of law power!
On the quiet playground, the dim starlight from the sky poured down, as if the iron sand attracted by a magnet was all cast on Chuping, and the surrounding space seemed to be twisted, with no light in the dark chaos!
Just like this, it's already one night!
