Chapter 46: Soul Locking with Eight Consciousnesses
Hearing the ridicule of the old man behind him, Ren Tianxing just smiled and didn't pay much attention to it, but hurried to his residence.
After returning to his residence, Ren Tianxing entered the room, closed the door, and then opened the manuscript of "The Divine Shadow Step" and couldn't wait to read it.
I saw that the first line of the first page read: The five elements of heaven and earth are created, the eight consciousnesses lock the body and soul, and the fruits of karma are reincarnated, so that they will not fall into the world.
After reading this sentence, Ren Tianxing frowned slightly, but did not understand its meaning, and then looked down.
But after reading the first page of the book, Ren Tianxing had a strange expression on his face.
It turned out that the "Shadow Step" was very different from the martial arts he knew.
As far as he knew, whether it was basic martial arts with limited power or extremely powerful arcane martial arts, they all focused on the movement of "qi", and "qi" was the foundation of all martial arts.
But this Divine Shadow Step is centered on 'consciousness', and the movement of breath becomes secondary. In other words, the invisible 'consciousness' is the foundation of this Divine Shadow Step.
According to the theory in that book, all things are born from the five elements, and the five elements evolve into the five phenomena of light, darkness, ice, wind and thunder. These five elements and five phenomena form the tangible world.
But in this world, there is another thing that can transcend the constraints of the tangible world, and that is soul consciousness.
Even if everything in the world collapses in a moment, and the soul dissipates in a single thought, the soul consciousness can be immortal and can still enter reincarnation and be reincarnated.
According to the meaning of the book, the soul consciousness is composed of eight consciousnesses and is the core of the soul.
The eight consciousnesses are: eyes, ears, mouth, nose, body, mind, as well as the mysterious seventh consciousness - Mana consciousness, and the even more mysterious eighth consciousness - Alaya consciousness.
Under normal circumstances, a person's seventh and eighth consciousnesses are latent in the depths of the soul. Only those with extremely high levels of enlightenment can awaken them temporarily. As for achieving normal awakening, it is even more difficult.
However, the prerequisite for learning the "Shen Shadow Step" practice is to first awaken the seventh consciousness, manas.
Then that consciousness, also known as the subconscious mind, is the root of human consciousness and the true self of human beings. The four troubles of "I see, I am ignorant, I love, and I think" often arise together.
According to the explanation in the book, mana consciousness can affect the seven emotions and six yu of others. It is called: With my mind, I can control the emotions of others. At the same time, Mana consciousness can also affect the distorted space. It is called: With my mind, I can control the world in all directions.
.
Such a theory made Ren Tianxing feel strange, but he had never heard of such a special theory.
"According to the explanation in this book, as long as I awaken my consciousness, I can forcibly distort and control the surrounding space through my will, allowing myself to penetrate a long distance in an extremely short time. This is the so-called 'divine shadow'
It’s the first level of the step. But if you can’t awaken the mana consciousness, you won’t be able to practice the divine shadow step. But then the mana consciousness is formless and insubstantial, so how can you awaken it?”
Thinking of this, Ren Tianxing suddenly felt a headache.
Although he already knew that mana consciousness was the consciousness of the true self, he could only know it theoretically. What exactly was the consciousness of the true self? But he had a feeling that he couldn't explain it.
"These things are too vague to talk about, and it feels hard to get started! No wonder, our Ren family has never heard of anyone practicing it. Although in theory, everyone has mana consciousness, so everyone
It is possible to learn them all, but in fact it is extremely difficult to awaken mana consciousness. Moreover, I have never heard of these theories before, and I don’t know if they are reliable or not?”
"However, it is said that the stronger the soul, the stronger the eight senses. This is somewhat credible. Just like my soul is much stronger than ordinary people, so my five senses are also many times stronger than ordinary people. From this point, we can
It can be seen that the stronger the soul, the stronger the eight consciousnesses. And as mentioned above, the stronger the eight consciousnesses, the easier it is to awaken that consciousness. In other words, it should be easier for me to learn this "Shadow Step" than ordinary people.
"That's it!"
"By the way, the seniors of the Martial Arts Pavilion said that Ren Yilin didn't learn it when he was young, but when Ren Yilin was seventy years old, he suddenly took away the last few layers of the "Divine Shadow Step". Why did he take away the last layers of the formula?
Is it possible that he learned the first level at that time? Thinking about it now, it is very possible! When Ren Yilin was seventy years old, he should have broken through to the virtual spirit stage. Then his soul power was at least nine times that of ordinary people. At that time, he
It will be much easier to learn "Shadow Step" again than when I was young."
Thinking of this, Ren Tianxing's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Since it is possible for Ren Yilin to learn it, my eighth consciousness is stronger than his, so I should be more likely to learn it. I don't want to think about it so much, I still seize the time to awaken the 'mana consciousness' and try my own enlightenment first.
Let’s see if it’s possible for me to learn it? If possible, it would be best to learn it before the Beast Hunting Conference is held, that way I will have more ability to protect myself.”
Thinking of this, Ren Tianxing became interested. He immediately sat cross-legged and began to meditate and gain enlightenment according to the method recorded in "Meditation Technique".
The "Meditation Technique" is a formula attached to the back of the secret book. It is said that it can increase the chance of awakening the mana consciousness.
In this way, Ren Tianxing has been aware of the existence of mana consciousness since the day he obtained "Shadow Step".
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed, but Ren Tianxing made no progress in understanding the Mana Consciousness. He didn't even touch the threshold. This finally made Ren Tianxing realize that it was far more difficult for him to learn the Shadow Step than he imagined.
Much harder.
Even whether he can learn the Shadow Step is unpredictable.
And during these seven days, a big event also happened in Baiyan City.
That is, the Lord of White Rock City announced four days ago that a 'New Warriors Beast Hunting Conference' will be held in seven days, and there are only three days left.
At that time, all young warriors under the age of twenty-five can sign up to participate.
As soon as this news was announced, the whole city was in a sensation. The young warriors in Baiyan City were excited about it. The whole city was talking about the beast hunting conference after dinner.
In fact, the reason why it caused such a big sensation was not because of such a novel event as the Beast Hunting Conference, but because of the generous rewards of the conference that made countless teenagers crazy about it.
It is said that in order to make this conference grand, the city lord Bai Wending even gave out ten Kongming Pills as a reward for the winner.
The Nakong Ming Dan is a spiritual elixir that allows a fifth-level peak warrior to break through the sixth level of Qi Condensation. Although the success rate of breakthrough is only 30% to 40%, it is extremely rare and has no market at all.
In fact, the further a warrior reaches the later stage of cultivation, the more difficult it is to improve their strength. From the fifth level to the sixth level of Qi Condensation, it is a big threshold. Many warriors have been stuck at the bottleneck of the fifth level for more than ten years, or even failed to break through for decades.
At the sixth level of Qi Condensation, some people may even be stuck in that bottleneck their entire lives.
Therefore, as soon as the Kong Ming Dan came out, it attracted countless young warriors to go crazy for it. After all, the 30% to 40% chance of breakthrough is not small. If they successfully get one, it may save them more than ten years.
They practiced hard, which naturally made them excited.
In addition to the ten Kong Ming Dan rewards, Bai Wending also gave out hundreds of thousands of gold coins as rewards. As long as he can enter the top twenty winners, even if he does not get the Kong Ming Dan reward, he will still get a gold coin.
award.
With so many rewards, more and more young warriors want to sign up for the conference. Even young warriors from towns near White Rock City are flocking to White Rock City, wanting to participate in the beast hunting conference...
