After leaving Dongping Town, it only took half an hour for Xing Nan to arrive at the entrance of his cave.
The cave is halfway up the mountain. There are several big trees at the entrance, each of them towering and with lush branches and leaves.
But this mountain is a stone mountain. The mountain is mostly made of hard stones. The trees that can grow and thrive here are very strong and have very deep roots.
It was just after noon at this time, and the bright spring sunshine gave people a lazy and comfortable feeling.
Xing Nan did not enter the cave to practice. Instead, he sat down on a bluestone at the entrance of the cave and quietly enjoyed the warm sun and wind at noon.
His spiritual consciousness gradually penetrated the body, covering all directions, observing everything in the world, and feeling the pulse of life and the earth.
When he saw those big trees, he was quite touched...
In such an environment, it is really commendable that these big trees can remain standing all year round.
"How do they survive?"
While Xing Nan was thinking, his consciousness covered a big tree and examined it carefully.
The monks' spiritual consciousness is extremely sharp and their perception is extremely strong. Under the perception of their spiritual consciousness, the characteristics and characteristics of all things are often revealed in detail.
First of all, there are the countless leaves. They don't look big at first, but if you look closely, you can see that there are countless small holes in each leaf that appear in the consciousness.
Sunlight, air...etc. penetrate the leaves through those small holes, and then enter the branches that are intertwined like a network, providing energy for the big tree.
Look at the tree roots again, one by one, winding like snakes, piercing deeply into the rocks and soil, absorbing water and other nutrients from the mountain.
"This seems to be the same as humans. There are countless small holes on the human body. Monks often use these small holes to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth and repel impurities in the body. The muscles and bones in the human body are also densely packed, some are thick and some are thin.
…”
"It's just that this big tree has not activated spiritual intelligence, but human beings have extremely high wisdom. Of course, some big trees that absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish themselves all year round and have excellent fortunes also have the opportunity to activate spiritual intelligence and become tree demons..."
"Since there is no spiritual intelligence, there is no consciousness, let alone spiritual consciousness. How do these trees, flowers and plants control their many branches, leaves and roots?"
"They don't seem to be controlling. Those branches, leaves and roots naturally have the instinct to gain life. This should also be a kind of natural law of heaven and earth."
"If you can apply this natural law of heaven and earth to yourself, wouldn't it be a great benefit to your cultivation?"
"There are many leaves, branches, and roots in a big tree. They are one and the same, but they are not controlled by any consciousness. When they experience wind and rain, they absorb sunlight, air, and water.
, they can also perform their own functions... If the Samsara Sword Formation and those puppets can do the same, wouldn't it be able to solve the sudden whim I had before?"
For a moment, Xing Nan actually sat on the big bluestone, motionless, entering a mysterious state of enlightenment. He understood the great way of heaven, earth and nature, but with his level, he could only touch the slightest bit, but even that
In the slightest, once he has some understanding, he will be greatly improved... not only his strength will be improved, but his realm will also be greatly improved.
Having the opportunity to enter this state of enlightenment is a great opportunity for any monk. However, many monks have the opportunity to enter this state, but they gain little or even nothing due to reasons such as low understanding.
…
In a blink of an eye, the sun sets in the west and the sky becomes dark.
Xing Nan didn't know what state he had entered, nor did he notice the change in the sky. He was still immersed in the state of enlightenment, and his body remained motionless.
At this moment, his spiritual consciousness has completely spread out, covering the surrounding mountains and forests, blending with them.
Even his body is the same. He seems to be the same as the big blue stone sitting on him, truly like a part of all things in the world, like the creation of heaven and earth, and cared for by the natural laws of heaven and earth.
At this moment, he truly realized the majesty of the natural laws of heaven and earth, embracing all things, nourishing all things, and being omnipotent...
Wave after wave of invisible forces of nature were washing away and nourishing his body.
The greatest improvement is not in the body, but in the realm of the soul.
I am always immersed in the avenue of the natural laws of heaven and earth. Even if I don't understand too much, I can at least touch the corners of the avenue. The true meaning of the avenue is traced. Even if it is just a hazy outline in my mind, even this outline is just an outline.
The true meaning of Zhongdao was just the tip of the iceberg, but he really saw it.
Seeing the existence of the true meaning of the great road, the realm of the soul will be improved. If you can grasp even a tiny bit and integrate every bit of the true meaning of the great road into the soul, then the realm of the soul will be greatly improved.
The reason why Xing Nan has not escaped from this state is because he is unconsciously but very eager to grasp the true meaning of the great road that has been presented in front of him, that is, he wants to clearly understand in his heart a kind of natural law of heaven and earth that he is studying hard.
.
It's difficult, but Xing Nan is still working hard.
The monks can enter the state of enlightenment anytime and anywhere, by the pond, under the green pines, at the ferry, in the wind and snow, on the top of the mountains...even in the busy city, when eating and drinking, chatting, fighting...
It is precisely because of the inability to control when and where to enter this wonderful state that many unlucky monks appear. They have just been blessed and have some enlightenment, but they are interrupted just after enlightenment, and it is extremely difficult to enter this state again.
Fortunately, the cave in Xingnan is halfway up the barren mountain, and the villagers from Dongping Town generally won't come. There are no monsters in this barren mountain, and even some ferocious beasts have been taken care of long ago by the hunters from Dongping Town.
The surroundings were very quiet, with only the faint whistling of the breeze and the low chirping of small insects.
Although Xing Nan's consciousness covers a large area of mountain forest around him, the focus is still on the big trees, from leaves to branches, from branches to trunks, from trunks to roots...
Up and down, inside and out, almost everything about the big trees was completely seen by him.
A grain of sand can have a whole world, and there are avenues that belong to this grain of sand. A big tree has infinite avenues and mysteries. A monk with high understanding and high realm can see the true meaning of countless avenues and countless wonders by looking at a big tree.
world, but in the eyes of ordinary people, big trees are just big trees.
…
"A big tree without intelligence is cared for by the natural laws of heaven and earth. Although it stands in hard rocks, it can still stand firm. I am a human being, the primate of all things. I have extremely high wisdom and a method of cultivation, but I cannot be limited.
Regarding your own method, cultivation cannot be limited to oneself, and the improvement of realm cannot only be in the realm of the soul..."
"I can also be a big tree, and a big tree with wisdom..."
Xing Nan's thoughts gradually became clearer. By this time, he had grasped the true meaning of the great road contained in the big tree.
"Seize the creation of heaven and earth into one's own body, accept the yin and yang of heaven and earth into one's own heart..."
Suddenly, Xing Nan thought of this sentence said by the old man Xuying. When he just heard this sentence, he was ignorant, but now he had some understanding.
"Seize the creation of heaven and earth into one's own body, accept the universe of yin and yang in one's own heart... Seize the creation of heaven and earth in one's own body, accept the universe of yin and yang in one's own heart..."
Xing Nan recited it silently over and over again, but he did not notice that the outline of the true meaning of the great road in his consciousness became more and more obvious and larger, and his soul realm was also soaring crazily at this moment.
This state is the most rare. Xing Nan can persist in this state for a long time. First, the environment here is quiet, second, he has been in a peaceful mood recently, and third, his innate soul is twice that of ordinary people...
There is another important reason. Xing Nan has used the method of tribulation demon evolution to transform the negative emotions in his soul into tribulation demons. In addition, even the demonic nature in his soul was automatically absorbed by the tribulation demon before. There is no negative emotions or demonic nature.
The influence is also crucial to his enlightenment.
As for being able to realize some of the true meaning of the great avenue and understand some of the natural laws of heaven and earth, Xing Nan's previous practice of the Samsara Sword Formation has had the experience of inducing the natural power of heaven and earth again and again, and the spirit of the heavenly sword in his Dantian can also induce
The natural power of heaven and earth...
He possesses a foundation for enlightenment that most ordinary monks do not have. Monks of similar realm or strength to him, unless they are monster-like geniuses, will never have the opportunity and experience to realize enlightenment at his age.
And this enlightenment will definitely become a major advantage for him in his future cultivation.
"Seize the creation of heaven and earth into one's own body, accept the yin and yang of heaven and earth into one's own heart..."
"Huhu...shuashua..."
This mountain forest finally has a brighter and clearer sound, which is the chanting from Xing Nan's mouth, the energy of heaven and earth that is constantly swirling around him, and the sounds of the big trees that are constantly twisting and turning.
Wave after wave of heaven and earth vitality formed a vortex on the top of Xing Nan's head, and then sank continuously into Xing Nan's body. After swimming around in the veins, it quickly sank into the Dantian and was absorbed by the sword embryo that had become the sword body.
The sword fetus is growing stronger and more solid...
The creation of heaven and earth is converging on Xing Nan's body and improving his skills at the same time.
The Yin-Yang Universe is actually the greatest embodiment of the natural laws and avenues of heaven and earth. Xing Nan has grasped one of them, and has been studying it like crazy. He gradually understood it in his heart, which made his soul realm soar.
Xing Nan's consciousness focused on those big trees, so did his consciousness, and even more so his soul.
Gradually, his cloud-like soul body turned into the shape of a big tree. He didn't notice it and naturally didn't stop it.
The tree of soul continues to grow under the watering of the true meaning of the avenue, with branches growing wildly in all directions...
As the branches grow wildly, countless leaves emerge.
In addition to branches, the Tree of Souls also has slender roots that grow downwards...
I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly, the tree of soul in the sea of consciousness suddenly expanded to infinite width, and the sea of consciousness could not accommodate it.
And Xing Nan also stood up unconsciously, standing on the big bluestone. He opened his arms, and his clothes instantly shattered and flew away, making his body with countless clearly visible veins appear radiant and sacred.
The tendons and veins are like the branches of a big tree, and the shining acupuncture points on his body are like the leaves of the big tree...
