Chapter 364 364: Selfless state of mind, unity of man and nature, breakthrough! The vital energy and starlight spirituality converged in Chu Ge's body like a dragon and a tiger gathering together, quickly transforming into majestic Yin God power and pouring into the cosmic egg. As more and more strength was drained away, Chu Ge's sturdy and strong body began to shrink slowly, his vital energy was lost and turned into spiritual willpower. His eyes were as bright as lanterns, and the spiritual fluctuations in his body were extremely strong. His mental will had reached a peak in a short time. The radiance of will released from his eyes could cause slight fluctuations in the surrounding space. "Little song." Chu Feixue, who was guarding Chu Ge by the lake, had a look of surprise on her pretty face. She didn't understand what kind of practice her brother was doing, but she didn't dare to disturb him. At this moment, Chu Ge only felt that his spiritual will had reached a limit. He no longer hesitated and drove the cosmic egg in his spirit platform to fly out of his body. A strong sense of detachment suddenly came over him, as if his entire body had left the most basic "space" along with his spirit, and was slowly floating up into the void of heaven and earth. But this is not the true unity of man and nature. The original unity of man and nature actually talks about the dying incarnation. It is said that man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature.
The part above the neck is like the sky, and the part below the neck is like the earth. There are 366 small joints in the human body, so there are 366 days in a year. Humans have twelve major joints, so there are twelve months in a year. The five internal organs of the human body correspond to the five elements, and the four limbs correspond to the four seasons. Therefore, the human body is actually a small world, which is in line with the "Four Symbols Sacred Merit" created by Chu Ge - "Between heaven and earth, within the six directions, Qi has nine orifices, five internal organs, and twelve joints, all of which are connected to the universe and weather." Chu Ge believed that in order to truly achieve the unity of man and nature and to refine the spirit and return to emptiness, it is necessary to combine the small world of the human body with the big world outside, just like the combination of the small three elements of the human body with the big three elements of essence, energy and spirit. After such a combination, the big and small heaven and earth become one, and the big and small three elements are closely linked, and that is the time of true return to emptiness. He tried boldly, and suddenly expanded the cosmic egg condensed by the Yin God with the characteristics of the ever-expanding universe. His own Yin God will also continued to expand to embrace the entire world. In this process, under the influence of his "thoughts", the cosmic egg formed the four seasons of heaven and earth and the changes of the five elements inside, as if in contrast with the external heaven and earth. Although this change is only an illusion on the spiritual level and not real, it is at least connected with the heaven and earth on the spiritual level, thus forming a connection. This level of connection is one of the Yuan. The divine Yuan is connected to the heaven and earth, driving his Yin Shen will to transform into the cosmic egg, which is further integrated into the eight directions of heaven and earth. The fusion of man and heaven and earth is the unity of the three Yuans. Chu Ge only felt that he had merged into the vast and beautiful universe and had completely forgotten his own existence. He had no idea that he had actually entered a very dangerous stage - selflessness! In the world before the time travel, there were also some masters who had experiences, such as Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly, who is me and who is the butterfly? When the three elements of heaven, earth and man become one, there will no longer be a distinction between you and me, or between heaven and earth. If Heaven and Earth are not hurt, I will not be hurt. If Heaven and Earth are not defeated, I will not be defeated. How to make the three origins return to one origin? The only way is to forget oneself, so that one can achieve the unity of nature and man and enter the state of returning to emptiness. However, if a person forgets even his "original self", what good will it do even if he truly finds the state of unity between man and nature? He can no longer return to his original self, and thus completely fails to break through from the stage of refining the spirit and returning to the void. Chu Ge originally wanted to take advantage of the situation, intending to escape his soul into the dragon bell to take shelter temporarily when he realized something was wrong. As expected, man proposes, God disposes. At this moment, he accidentally entered into a state of ecstasy and lost the idea of escaping into the dragon bell. As the time he spent in the state of ecstasy increased, the cosmic egg condensed by the Yin Spirit became more and more integrated with the eight directions of heaven and earth, and gradually he truly reached the stage of unity between man and nature. At this moment, he only felt that his consciousness seemed to be elevated to the perspective of heaven and earth, and his thoughts began to spread towards a very distant direction, not spreading in one direction, but spreading in all directions.
His thoughts spread to Shanzhou, where he observed a Zen temple in complete silence. In the temple, the smoke of incense was curling up, and the only sound was the chirping of insects. An old monk in a cassock sat in the Buddha Hall with a deathly pale face, beating a wooden fish in silence. He observed that the old monk's essence and energy sank, and the two elements merged with the earth, while the spiritual element condensed within the spirit platform like a gem, shining brightly. This does not mean that the other person has also reached the state of unity between man and nature, but that he is about to pass away. His thoughts continued to spread, passing through Yuzhou, Zhanzhou, Cangzhou, Xuzhou, Dingzhou, and Jizhou, and he witnessed natural disasters everywhere in the world. Millions of people are in dire straits, the strange power in the air is becoming increasingly thinner, and the whole world seems to be on the brink of collapse and decline. And among these thousands of mountains and rivers, there are many areas where the footprints of the disciples of the Tiandi Xianghuo Sect are found. They spread the incense of faith in the midst of suffering, calling on all suffering beings to grasp a glimmer of hope in despair and to worship and believe in the Godmother of Heaven and Earth together. For a time, the Tiandi Xianghuo Sect seemed to be worthy of its name, and its followers could be found everywhere in heaven and earth. During this process, Chu Ge remained calm, as if he had no emotions, no feelings at all. He seemed to be above all living beings. He had truly merged with the heaven and earth and was at the same height, reaching the state of returning to the void. At this stage, one merges into the universe and is no longer disturbed by the seven emotions and six desires. One is able to eliminate all worries and achieve purity of body and mind. Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are dogs. He seemed to have really reached a state recorded in the Tao Te Ching of his previous life. From the perspective of heaven and earth, he sees everything the same. I will not be particularly good to anyone, nor will I be particularly bad to anyone. Everything will develop naturally. In short, no matter what happens to all things, it is the development of all things themselves and has nothing to do with heaven and earth. Heaven and earth let nature take its course. This is indeed a very profound realm, so high that even the mountains would look up to it. However, because the realm of heaven and earth is too high, in front of the will of heaven and earth, the individual's will is as small as the difference between the bright moon and its firefly, which makes it easy for the individual will to be lost in the will of heaven and earth, be completely assimilated by heaven and earth, and eventually disappear between heaven and earth, unable to obtain the transcendence after returning to the void. Chu Ge's will at this moment was becoming increasingly closely connected to the world, and he was increasingly unable to distinguish between you and me. His thoughts continued to spread, and when he arrived in Desolate State, he observed that Desolate State seemed to be full of resentment and was filled with a tremendous resentment of all living beings. Especially in the Godmother Hall of Jixi Prefecture, there was a lot of resentment, with strands of red hair spreading out from every corner of the hall. A large amount of resentment, along with the power of incense and faith, kept pouring into the Godmother Hall. As he observed, there seemed to be a pair of eerie and strange glowing eyes in the Godmother's Hall, which suddenly looked up at the sky. What kind of eyes are these? They are full of ferocity, confusion, pain, ambition and amazing persistence. His thoughts did not stop at all, and his emotions did not fluctuate at all, as he continued to move forward. When passing the devastated Lingzhou, on the misty Tianming Mountain of the Tianming Sect, the master of the sect let out a "tsk" and had a strange look in his eyes. He pinched his fingers to observe the celestial phenomena, and with a wave of his sleeves, he pushed the sea of clouds on the mountain to simulate the changes in the celestial phenomena. He kept saying how strange it was, but he couldn't find out what was strange. Soon, Chu Ge's thoughts spread to the cold sea along with the perspective of heaven and earth, and all the way to the inside of the sea abyss sky. He witnessed the violently fluctuating and distorted space in the sky, and observed the demonic shadows and the figures of the twelve demon lords in the distorted space. "Um!?" One of them had three heads and six arms, sitting on a lotus pedestal made of bones, holding a giant blade in fire and wearing a crown of the scorching sun. The demon lord suddenly raised his head, and a pair of demon eyes with double pupils seemed to break through the layers of space in an instant. The powerful demonic will penetrated the sky of the sea and patrolled the eight directions.
In the end, he found nothing. His eyebrows were raised, and his expression was full of surprise and confusion. His extremely strong will swept across the world, but he found nothing. "Brother, what's wrong?" The Yin Demon Lord standing aside looked puzzled. The original demon lord slowly retracted his terrifying demon pupils and said coldly, "Nothing, I just vaguely sensed the threat of being observed, but I didn't find the source of the threat." "Who else in this world can observe my brother without being caught by you?" The Devil Lord said in a strange and magnetic voice, "Even the Godmother of Heaven and Earth doesn't have that ability, who could it be?" “Humph, how could Yao Jingxuan have that ability?” The Primordial Demon Lord sneered disdainfully, and then his eyes darkened, “Although I failed this time and paid a huge price, she won’t get any benefits. This Yao Jingxuan is extremely ignorant. After obtaining the incense and martial arts from the foreign land, she has been studying them as if they were a treasure, but she didn't know that the incense is poisonous. She thought that she had contained the deity, and through the deity's hand, she made the people of the world fall into misery. Then, she would go deep into the suffering in the image of a bodhisattva who saves the suffering and spread faith everywhere, and she would be able to gain a large number of believers and gain power, hahahaha." The original demon lord looked disdainful, "Luxury and desire cannot condense a strong will and faith, suffering is the best way to breed faith. But this world is in decline. If suffering cannot be relieved in the end, the incense will eventually become poisonous, and faith will eventually collapse and backfire. What can be done? Moreover, the Yin Shen Realm she understood was wrong in the first place. Did she think that she could reach the other shore by simply accumulating strength? What a foolish dream! How foolish! " When he finished speaking, his voice was filled with anger. "Damn it, my plan has been ruined. Even if my brothers have extraordinary talents, we can't change our fate, break the shackles of the devil, break the devil and become a god, and survive from death. Even if I understand the way of the Yang God, I can't be liberated, I can't be liberated—" Upon hearing this, all the demons were filled with sorrow and wailing. For a moment, the demons were dancing wildly and wailing was everywhere. The original Demon Lord suddenly woke up at this moment, and let out a long roar. The terrifying power of his will spread like a circular shock wave, shaking the clouds in all directions, twisting the space in all directions to create layers of spatial folds, causing the sky and the earth above the sea to change color for a moment. "Who? Who is it?!" At this moment, he was already aware that the vague sense of observation he had just had was most likely the realm that was rumored. Because once, when Feng Jinxiao broke through the Yang God and tore open the curtain, he looked back at him with the same feeling. But how is it possible in this world that anyone can reach the level that Feng Jinxiao did back then? How can it be! "Who! Who!?" This terrifying roar of will was like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, causing the space in all directions to ripple and ripple, shaking the heaven and earth, and even shaking Chu Ge's will in the state of unity between man and nature. His selfless state of mind finally caused a faint ripple as the folds of the space in all directions of heaven and earth fluctuated. The heaven and earth were rippling at this moment. Not to mention him who has merged into the world? Therefore, this slight ripple, like waves in an ancient well, finally made him go from selflessness to gradually having a sense of "I". At this moment, the connection between his Yin Shen will and his main body soul became clear in an instant. This clear connection is like a stretched kite string. The other end of the string is tied to the body of the Yinshui Sect in Hengzhou. It is lit up by the spiritual qualities of heaven and earth and is very bright. His will, which had been integrated with the heaven and earth for a long time, did not exert any thoughts and slowly floated down naturally. During this process, his will seemed to have become the darling of heaven and earth, naturally attracting the essence of all things in the world, the essence of the sun and the moon, the strange forces of heaven and earth, etc., and he transformed himself into all living beings, and returned to his original body in an instant.
At that moment, Chu Ge felt that his soul and body were united, as if a stream of sweet rain from heaven and earth began to spray all over his body like a watering can. The body, which had been shriveled due to severe loss of essence and energy, instantly became full again and even emitted a precious light, becoming even more powerful than before. By the time Chu Ge collected his thoughts and finished his practice, his dantian was already filled with vital energy. In the spiritual platform, there is an extremely solid cosmic egg, which is closely connected with the eight directions of heaven and earth. Refining the spirit and returning to emptiness, the true Yin Xu realm, was achieved successfully! Chu Ge's mood at this moment was extremely peaceful. He was not happy because of things, nor sad because of himself. He suddenly opened his eyes, and felt as if the world in front of him had become different. The lake water around him, the air flowing around him, the trees, flowers and plants in all directions seemed to move in rhythm with his breathing. Between heaven and earth, everything is towards him, as if his will and thoughts can control everything. A sense of omniscience and omnipotence filled his mind, as if he could mobilize the power of the surrounding heaven and earth. This seems to be the power of the domain. But this is not the power of the domain, this is the power of heaven and earth. After refining his spirit and returning to emptiness, and achieving the unity of heaven and man, he was able to mobilize the power of heaven and earth. The next step was to comprehend the rules and enter the realm of Yang God. He finally understood how ridiculous the domain power that he once regarded as tyrannical was. Yan Chijing relied on the Tiangang Disha Yunmeng formation to create his domain, and the Mother of Heaven and Earth relied on the incense and faith of millions of disciples to create his domain, and both of them were invincible within their domains. But that is all just a false realm. Compared to the entire heaven and earth, all under heaven is my land. Everywhere is my territory and I can mobilize the power of heaven and earth everywhere. However, he also felt a sense of sadness and powerlessness. Being in the state of returning to the void where man and nature are one, he could clearly feel that this world was decaying at a very fast speed, changing almost every day, and the power of heaven and earth was being lost. But if he has not yet comprehended his own rules and entered the realm of Yang God before the great change of the collapse of heaven and earth comes, I am afraid that everything will be too late. Chu Ge frowned slightly, then quickly calmed down. "The old monk in the temple just now should be the Buddha Guangdu. It's a pity that he is about to pass away." "Godmother of Heaven and Earth, something seems to be wrong." "The original demon lord was able to sense my state of unity between man and nature, but his loud roar came just in time." When Chu Ge thought of this, he felt a little scared. Refining the spirit and returning to emptiness, achieving unity between man and nature, and even entering a state of ecstasy. I'm afraid that in the past, there were people in the world who realized the Yin-xu realm and tried to achieve the unity of man and nature. But when the waves wash away the sand, when you are in a state of mind that looks away from your own self and face the overwhelming will of the universe, what does your own tiny will matter? Who succeeded in the end? It seems that apart from Feng Jinxiao, no other names have emerged from the dust of history. Those who failed, all turned to ashes. (End of this chapter)
