Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

The mind of the second spiritual body gradually calmed down. "The incomplete scroll of spiritual cultivation techniques".

He has cultivated for over 230 years, and has come into contact with at least dozens, if not millions, of scriptures and Taoist teachings.

However, I have never seen any spiritual cultivation methods; this is unique.

It was at this moment that the second spiritual body suddenly realized that mental cultivation could also be systematically practiced.

The mind is an ideology, a thought.

Mysterious things that cannot be heard, seen, explored, or recognized are the most difficult to fathom and refine.

The beings in the true spirit realm, or the entire human realm, are helpless in the face of this, and can only rely on their past experiences to overcome tribulations in the mortal world.

To experience the seven emotions and six desires, thereby transforming oneself.
This is the proper way for a cultivator to practice.

The emergence of this Bodhicitta Sutra has now broken this long-held rule.

The ability to cultivate one's state of mind means that the so-called three calamities and nine tribulations, and the tribulations related to the mind, will no longer be a problem.

Now, Luo Yan's path will be clear!

"This is..." the second spirit body exclaimed in surprise.

In a daze, he saw a broken stone tablet with densely packed characters that did not belong to this era. It exuded a strong aura of heaven and earth and resembled the legendary silver dart pattern, yet it was different.

The crooked and twisted characters shone brightly, with golden light surging forth, golden lotuses blooming, and the voice of the Great Dao resounding.
The mind of the second spirit body became completely blank, and it could only stare blankly ahead, its mind empty.

What kind of script is this? Is it the golden dwarf pattern used exclusively by ancient powerful beings?
After all, texts that can trigger the bell of the Great Dao are absolutely extraordinary, far beyond what ordinary cultivators can see.

There are many kinds of writing in the True Spirit Realm, including runes, innate cloud patterns, demon script, sea creature script, dragon script, and so on. Luo Yan is familiar with them all.

The inscription on the stone tablet does not belong to any of these categories, and even the biochip did not react in the slightest.

This demonstrates that these strange characters are truly advanced scripts, so advanced that even biochips are completely unfamiliar with them.

It should be noted that Luo Yan had come into contact with the so-called script used exclusively by immortals and gods—the Silver Pole Script—a few times before.

Although the analysis of biochips is slow, requiring thousands of years to fully decipher the meaning behind those few silver dwarf characters.

But as long as it can be deciphered, it's a gain in itself.

However, his second spirit body could not grasp the meaning of these ancient characters in front of him. His mind was blank, and he could not even copy them.

Biochips cannot see even a fraction of it.
It is evident that the energy contained behind these words far exceeds the imagination of a second spiritual being.

Fortunately, although the inscription on this stone tablet is extremely profound, the charm it conveys is like the sound of the Great Way resonating in one's ears.

In a daze, there was a kind-faced old man, holding a whisk, sitting quietly on a high platform.

He was expounding the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, and also recounting the challenges of cultivation. The sound of the Dao was faint, and the rosy clouds filled the sky, as if one were ascending to heaven on a cloud.

Unfortunately, despite the boundless divine light, the second spiritual body couldn't understand a word the other was saying.

Suddenly, the Daoist voice paused slightly, and the old man on the high platform gazed at the starry sky, his eyes seemingly able to traverse boundless space and time, seeing his second spiritual body in this world.

The old man stroked his beard, a smile playing on his lips, and said with a laugh, "What a fortunate person to have come to this place in such a chaotic world."

"Though you are burdened with worldly ties, you are destined to be with me."

"You may enter my gate, you may enter my gate."

"Bodhi, Subhuti, the Great Way is also the Great Way."

A low, profound sound of the Great Dao resounded, and the second spiritual body instantly discovered that the so-called golden lotuses, radiant light, and celestial music had all transformed into visible runes.

They were churning, leaping, and wreaking havoc.
"Could this be the preaching place of some ancient powerful being? Have I unintentionally come to their territory?" Luo Yan's expression was shocked.

The old man's last words really frightened him.

Across layers of time and space, it was as if I could see his true form, and his earnest teachings resonated in my ears.

What terrifying power this is!
It's like an insurmountable barrier!
Because Luo Yan had traveled to the past through the power of reincarnation, he had a deep understanding of the laws of nature.

The more one understands this principle, the more awe one feels towards this old man, a feeling of seeing the vast sky reflected in the fleeting clouds.

Suddenly, the second spiritual body stirred violently. If he heard correctly, the old man in the preaching picture uttered a very familiar Dharma name—Subhuti.

This title is not just a random utterance, but rather carries a specific meaning.

Because practitioners are very superstitious about this, they would never randomly give themselves a Taoist name.

This name is still unfamiliar in this world, but in the world of my previous life, few people were unaware of it.

Subhuti was one of the Buddha's ten great disciples. His abilities were extraordinary, making him a top-tier powerhouse who surpassed even the Great Luo level.

Many people may not know much about this, but his other Taoist name is absolutely well-known.

He is the Bodhi Patriarch in the mythological legend Journey to the West, who taught the monkey seventy-two transformations!
"How could this be? A mythical figure from my past life has appeared here. How is this possible?"

"Is He still guiding me onto the path?"

"Could it be that the biographies and novels of my past life were not fabricated?" Luo Yan murmured, feeling extremely shocked.

The secrets on the stone tablet have been passed down for a long time and record in great detail the process of a sermon. Above, the Patriarch Subhuti held a high Dharma seat, and below, dozens of immortals with profound magical powers listened attentively to the sermon.

At the end, a stone monkey is also mentioned.
The familiar scene instantly brought Luo Yan's memories to a clearer level. What else could it be but the Monkey King from his previous life?
"The secret of the perfect combination of exoteric and esoteric teachings is truly wonderful, but unfortunately there is no one to explain it to you when cultivating your nature and life."

"All that comes must be kept in reserve; guard it carefully and do not let it slip away."

At this moment, the Bodhi Heart Sutra that the second spiritual body had previously comprehended also transformed into dancing divine runes, which flew in mid-air.

Like a silver moon hanging in the sky, countless fireflies reflect its light.

At the same time, the second spiritual body could clearly feel that the causal threads of fate on its body had been invisibly wrapped around it again.

The fact that he underwent this change indicates that there must be some complex cause and effect behind this Heart Sutra.

Those who receive the teachings must bear the consequences.

"What's going on? Have I gotten myself into big trouble again?"

The second spiritual body's heart sank suddenly; the joy of having just acquired the Bodhicitta Sutra and heard the teachings of an ancient great master was instantly swept away.

The second spirit body was extremely sensitive to the abnormality of its own body. Wasn't it listening to the sermon?
How did I suddenly get entangled in the power of cause and effect?

Could this old Bodhi man be an imposter?

Or is it that while the Bodhicitta Sutra is good, even good medicine can have poison?

This is a karmic entanglement from ancient times, how could it not frighten the second spiritual body?

Who knows what kind of complex grudges are involved in these cause-and-effect relationships?
Just think about it, a scripture from ancient times, placed in the world of today, can still cause subtle causal entanglements. What does this mean? It goes without saying.

That era is far removed from the present day, so far removed that even a mortal pig, having lived for such a long time, could attain immortality. How much more so for cultivators.

If the Bodhicitta Sutra involves such figures, whether friend or foe, it would be enough to make the second spiritual body feel a chill down its spine.

"The integration of exoteric and esoteric teachings, the harmony of yin and yang, the reversal of the five elements, and the dual cultivation of nature and life"—the second spiritual body stared at the stone tablet, its eyes flashing.

The Taoist chanting from the stone tablet continued, and he could only suppress the trembling in his heart and continue watching.

It is rare for ancient great beings to preach the Tao, and the Bodhi Heart Sutra has been studied by his second spiritual body for quite some time without his second spiritual body being on guard. Now, it is too late to give it up.

In that case, let's keep listening!

The text above is ancient and monotonous, resembling a simple line drawing, sketched in one stroke.

But the simpler it is, the more amazing it becomes when you read it through.

The previously obscure Bodhi Heart Sutra, a Taoist scripture that required a long time to comprehend, was now fully analyzed in the mind of the second spiritual body, accompanied by the sound of sermons.

The cultivation philosophy in this fragment describes a holistic approach, focusing on cultivating both inner and outer strength, refining one's inner essence and energy, and sealing one's external magical power.

At the same time, it is necessary to harmonize the Yin and Yang, break the conventional concept of mutual restraint among the five elements, and reverse the method of refining the foundation to ultimately gather the golden elixir.
This is an extremely rare ancient cultivation method that teaches people how to cultivate both body and mind to attain the Taiyi realm and transcend immortality.

"My luck has finally turned around! Such a great opportunity just appeared out of nowhere?" the second spirit murmured, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

Having seen so many traps falling from the sky, it's hard for anyone to believe that a free lunch would actually fall from the sky.

"Could it be that someone wants to harm me in secret?" The second spirit body became highly vigilant, fearing that it was some treacherous and cunning person who wanted to harm him in the dark.

"No, I need to inform the main body about this and hear his opinion," the second spirit muttered.

The Bodhicitta Sutra in his mind shone brightly, its golden light boundless, illuminating the world with crystal clarity.

If one were to enter the path of Taoism from this point on, it would definitely yield twice the results with half the effort.

But the scene before him was simply too astonishing. His second spirit body was at a loss for what to do and worried that it might be targeted by some unknown entity again.

After all, deep within his sea of ​​consciousness resided the spiritual imprint of an ancient female immortal, which was the price he paid for obtaining the Starry Sky Scripture.

Although at the moment it seems that nothing has happened.

But if things really come to a head, then it will be too late!

It was precisely because of the lessons learned from the past that the second spirit body became wary of this incomplete Heart Sutra; he was terrified of being tricked.

Soon, the original body's spiritual consciousness was reflected here.

"Huh? You mean you've acquired a scripture about cultivating the mind, and you've also seen a stone tablet engraved with ancient secrets, containing explanatory teachings?" Luo Yan's eyes widened.

The second spirit body nodded.

Strangely, even though the ancient stone tablet was right in front of him, Luo Yan's true form could not be seen.

It seemed that only the second spiritual body could see it.

"Heh, interesting."

"It really is related to that monkey." After pondering for a moment, Luo Yan smiled broadly.

He didn't keep you in suspense any longer. He pointed to his younger self and said again, "Go through the memories I shared with you and trace them back to that point in time in the Little True Dragon Realm."

"In that place, I not only obtained this Qilin, but also a whole host of other rare and precious treasures."

When Luo Yan participated in the Little True Dragon Secret Realm, his cultivation level was still very low, only around the Nascent Soul Realm.

But that trip to the demon realm still brought him a lot of gains.

Countless rare medicinal herbs, spiritual ores, and auspicious beasts like the Qilin—the harvest was truly plentiful.

“But when I was traveling in that area, I accidentally saw a picture, which was the Monkey King Asking the Dao!” Luo Yan said.

If we're talking about conspiracies and schemes, the connection between them, perhaps, was already there back then.

It's too late to back out now.

"Are you saying we have no choice but to accept it?" the second spirit body said discontentedly.

The power of immortal scriptures is undeniable, but which immortal lineage does not involve numerous cause-and-effect relationships?
Practicing other methods now is simple and easy, but when you get entangled in the mysterious cause and effect, you will know how terrifying the entanglement of cause and effect is.

“It’s not that you’ve accepted it, it’s that it’s already in your mind, isn’t it?” Luo Yan replied softly.

My second spiritual self was speechless.

He wanted to explain, and even felt a little wronged, wondering how he had unintentionally fallen into a trap again.

Were all those ancient immortals this insidious?
Even the transmission of scriptures is being tampered with?

Before seeing that sermon scene, he thought it was just an ordinary secret pattern, something to ponder and comprehend before he could observe all the dharmas.

This habit is not only present in him, but also in his physical body.

Or, to put it another way, the second spiritual body is the original body of learning.

After all, with biochips at their disposal and top-tier comprehension, they would instinctively investigate any mysterious scriptures or ancient formations they encountered.

Provide more data samples for biochips
"We should always look on the bright side. How precious are the scriptures that cultivate the mind and spirit?"

"It's normal that there are some complex causal relationships involved."

"Besides, if the stories in the myths and legends are true, becoming that monkey's junior brother would be a pretty good outcome," Luo Yan said with a smile.

Once he learned about the deeper secrets behind the Five Elements Sect and the so-called immortals and gods of the upper realm, he became more accepting of it all.

If you have too many lice, you won’t be itchy. If you have too many debts, you won’t have to worry.

Love it as much as you like!

Let those old fogies scheme all they want. People live in the present, they need to cultivate themselves, travel, and seek enlightenment. Who can live without being entangled in karma and grudges?

If Luo Yan were given the same abilities as that monkey, he would dare to go to heaven and cause trouble in the Lingxiao Palace again.
At that time, all the immortals and Buddhas in the sky will be wiped out with a single shot!

Now that their cultivation level is low, their vision is limited, and their knowledge is limited, how can they be allowed to be picky when they have such an opportunity?
"You should thoroughly understand this scripture as soon as possible, and then find a place to contact me. This scripture will be of great help to our future cultivation," Luo Yan gently instructed.

Although it wasn't the legendary Seventy-Two Transformations or the cloud-climbing technique that allowed one to travel 108,000 li in a single somersault, the old man was Subhuti.

Bodhi Patriarch is enough!

The Bodhicitta Sutra is absolutely a masterpiece of great creation!

Luo Yan didn't want to miss such an opportunity. (End of Chapter)
