Infinity, starting from eternity

Chapter 431: The Emperor of the Soul
The three realms of holiness: colorless, void, and thoughtless!
The Emperor of the Mind!

This is the spiritual path deduced by Li Pingan, which he has modified to fit the worldview of the trilogy.

Sleep, meditation, fetal breathing, meditation and forgetfulness, manifestation of holiness, the Emperor of the mind!
The corresponding ones are the Wheel Sea, Dao Palace, Four Poles, Dragon Transformation, Immortal Platform, and the sixth secret realm opened up by Emperor Huang Tian. Everyone’s sixth secret realm is different, and similarly, the spiritual emperor that everyone eventually cultivates is also different.

The secret realm method cultivates the body, and the spiritual method cultivates the mind.

Li Pingan nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, the road has just been opened, so let Ye Fan practice well to see if there are any loopholes. Then go to Beidou and find another group of students to test the waters, and then you can spread it."

"No color, no space, no thought! The Emperor of the Soul!"

Zhao Linger was a little shocked when she learned what Li Ping'an had deduced.

She has cultivated the three great ways of creation, origin and primordial power. It can be said that she is the heir to the will of heaven in the fairy world. As the prince of the fairy world, she must have a deep control over the law of the galaxy.

Even someone like her could not comprehend this method at all.

Oh no, this is no longer a method, but a complete cultivation system that can lead to the highest level!
"Color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, and emptiness is color."

"Buddhism says there is no color and no emptiness. The 'color' here refers to material phenomena, and the 'emptiness' refers to the emptiness of all things, that is, all things do not have an independent, permanent self-nature. They are all born from the combination of causes and conditions, and they disappear when the causes and conditions disappear."

“Therefore, ‘no color and no emptiness’ transcends matter and spirit, and is complete enlightenment and liberation.”

Zhao Linger is proficient in Buddhism and Taoism. She was amazed. "After the mind is revealed, it no longer condenses the laws and the great way, but instead sees through the illusion of color and emptiness. Whether it is the void world or the material world, there is no distinction for the revealed saint. Why does it need to look back to the void and then to the material world?"

"Without thoughts, even the movement of thoughts, worldly causes and conditions, all things in the world, and the cycle of cause and effect are no longer restricted."

If you can see through a person's thoughts, then what else can you do?

"Any mind is absolutely independent and detached. Is this the truth that my husband has deduced?" Zhao Linger's eyes lit up. She felt Li Ping'an's wisdom, profound thoughts, and sincere admiration.

"What is the Soul Emperor?"

Zhao Linger could understand colorlessness, emptiness and thoughtlessness, but she could not comprehend this level. It was not because her spiritual realm was poor. She had also cultivated her mind and reached the sixth level of mental strength in the vast world, 'the world of the heart'.

The mind can create things in a single thought, and it goes without saying that the power of the mind can cover the entire universe.

It’s just that the Emperor of the Mind does not seem to match the inner core of the connotation of the Manifestation of the Holy. Being colorless, empty, and thoughtless has already explained the great inclusiveness of the mind and seeing through everything in the world, but the realm of the Emperor is still not enough.

"Could it be that the soul is complete?"

Zhao Linger guessed that the final level of cultivating the method of wild mind power is absolute spiritual perfection, only in this way can one carry the ultimate eternal way.

Mind is mind, Tao is Tao, the two cannot be confused. No matter how high the realm of the former is, without the support of Tao, the power it exerts is actually very limited.

In the ordinary world, Lao Tzu, Zhuang Zhou, and other ancient sages may have a very high spiritual realm and may be spiritually perfect, but if a real fight breaks out, a strong man may take their life. This is the limitation of the mind.

Entering into a state of meditation, fetal breathing, sitting and forgetting, etc. have boundless power, not because the mind is so extraordinary that it affects reality, but because the worldview supports the effect of spiritual power, so the great power is manifested.

Li Pingan smiled slightly, "The Emperor of the Soul is just an idea of ​​mine. I have only deduced this path and have not verified it yet. We need to take it step by step."

The catastrophe of creating the law has not yet come.

However, this may also be related to the fact that the mind method is too secretive. Without releasing the mind to illuminate the void, Li Pingan, who created the mind method, naturally has mastered it with ease. If the power of the mind is not manifested, the heaven and earth will not be able to sense it at all.

"The Emperor of the Mind is the one who sees through the illusions of color and emptiness, manifests the true body from nothingness, and uses his thoughts to influence the universe. He regards the universe as his body and his own heart as the heart of others. He can regard this as the true heart of heaven, allowing the universe to be used by him and do all kinds of incredible things."

This is what Li Ping'an meant when he achieved the status of a Taoist immortal, from nothing to something, and from something to nothing.

The realm of the Great Emperor of the Mind is when the mind emerges from nothing and becomes truly independent. The material world, the void world, and the causal world are all just appearances. Only by jumping out of the three realms can one attain enlightenment.

Unlike the Great Emperor who is in harmony with the Heart of Heaven, the Great Emperor of the Mind can become an emperor directly after someone has attained enlightenment first. He is the absolute highest point of the mind. The mind influences the universe and even has the power to allow the big universe to derive another universe, just like an offspring.

Li Pingan can deduce the sequel. By then, perhaps this world can break away from ancient history and become true. The nine heavens and ten earths will become a three-dimensional universe in another sense, and one universe after another will be born.

But I don’t know how long this will take.

Right now, Ye Fan couldn’t even enter a deep sleep while exercising, with his mind awake, his steps awake but his heart still.

"The Dharma has been spread, and we just need to wait for the seeds to germinate."

Li Ping'an and the two women walked down Mount Tai. As soon as he had a thought, many ancient books and authentic works on the earth changed. One after another, meditation methods emerged out of thin air. With his realm, changing the world was a piece of cake for him, let alone some small tricks in time and space.

Some of the ancient history told to Ye Fan has become true at this moment, but no matter how powerful the secret realm method is, it is too strong, and the spiritual method is weak and difficult to enter, so no one practices it.

"The Dharma Ending Age will be different. Sleeping, entering into a state of concentration, and fetal breathing... the fetal breathing state can already capture spiritual energy from other dimensions, that is, draw strength from the secret realms of ancient Kunlun Mountain and Mount Tai."

"If you can take it a step further and meditate in oblivion, you can draw strength from the great forces of the planets in the dark. Even if you have no resources to cultivate, you can continue to cultivate step by step."

Li Pingan smiled slightly, wondering if the people on the Earth of Zhatian could discover the little surprise he left behind.

Some rules have been quietly changed by him.

Laozi, Sakyamuni, Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang, the four quasi-emperors who had been silent on Earth, were the first to sense something and looked at Mount Tai from afar.

"I seem to have seen a celestial being." Laozi said, taking a step forward.

"Thus have I heard: there is no form, no emptiness, no perception, and no form."

Shakyamuni put his hands together and said, "Greetings, World Honored One."

The Yan Emperor and Huang Emperor, whose corpses had become Dao, stepped forward and said, "I wonder when great figures like you three Daoists appeared on the ancient star of Honghuang."

Laozi, Sakyamuni, and the two emperors Yan and Huang were all surprised. They walked closer, but they could not sense any breath of Li Ping'an, Qing Yanjing, and Zhao Linger. If it were not for the trace left by the other party's change of the world, they would not have detected it at all.

"The nine layers above Daluo Heaven must be the immortals descending to the mortal world." Laozi sighed softly, his tone relieved.

People have been searching for this for countless years, and only now do they know that there are immortals in this world.

When Sakyamuni calls himself the World Honored One, it is even simpler, without color, emptiness, or thought, it is the breath of enlightenment. He also saw reincarnation in Li Ping'an, and all the heavens and worlds are contained in it, reincarnating continuously from life to life.

The Buddhist sect in this world has been studying reincarnation since the Immortal Monk King of Ancient Origin, the Immortal King of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Immortal King of Infinity, etc. The Great Emperor Amitabha also inherited some of the legacy. Now the real Lord of Reincarnation is before them, so what else can he be called but the World Honored One?

Yandi and Huangdi were also extremely shocked. The appearance of immortals on the ancient star meant that the road to immortality would be opened in this life.

The road to becoming an immortal?
Could it be that this is actually the road that immortals have walked, and by following this road one can enter the immortal world? Is it that simple?
At least they realized at this moment that entering the fairyland and becoming an immortal were two completely different things, and the greatness of the immortals was not something that the Great Emperor Tianzun Guhuang could imagine.

Only when you transcend everything, transcend the mundane world, and are omnipotent can you be called an immortal!
Huangdi achieved enlightenment through his empty corpse. Following the great way, he was born close to the void. He silently watched Li Pingan's body. Layers of void separated this world, and he could only barely see a tiny particle.

And that particle is a huge universe, the heaven and earth, the boundless starry sky, with countless living beings praying and worshiping, including monks, saints, and emperors. The Crystal Kingdom of God!

This is the immortal?!
So that's how it is, 'immortals' don't exist in this world.

It is us in the body of immortal.

Immortal is the incarnation of the infinite universe. It is everything. The birth and death of the universe is a breath of the immortal.

Huangdi suddenly realized that the Heaven's Heart Seal and the Great Emperor were perhaps just creatures that were not even as good as microorganisms and bacteria compared to the real immortals.

"Greetings to the four Taoist friends."

Li Ping'an nodded slightly to them with a calm attitude, not looking down on them because of their strength.

He had studied the Tao Te Ching, read Buddhist scriptures, listened to the stories of Yan Emperor and Huang Emperor, and grew up in Chinese civilization. To despise them was to despise himself.

"Don't dare to take it seriously."

"I don't know why the immortals came to the mortal world, and whether they can be of any use to the four of us."

Laozi, Sakyamuni, Yan Emperor and Huang Emperor bowed, and Li Pingan waited calmly. Because of civilization, what they respected was the existence of "immortals", which was the spiritual pillar for mortals to seek the truth.

Without immortals, there would be no splendor in mythology, the ancient times, and the prehistoric era.

This was even more true for Huangdi. What he saw in Li Ping'an were infinite particles and an infinite universe. If those were true, the immortal before him was the well-deserved creator who supported the existence of the world.

"My name is Li Ping'an, you can also call me Taiping Xianzun."

Li Pingan smiled slightly, "I came to this world to preach the gospel, save all living beings, and bring eternal peace."

Immortal of Peace!

When the Immortal Lord comes, there will be peace.

Laozi, Sakyamuni, Yan Emperor and Huang Emperor looked solemn when they heard this. This was an immortal, a being that transcended the mundane world but still cared about the people of the world.

How can those so-called supreme beings in the forbidden zone of life be compared with the Immortal Lord? Even if they dream of becoming immortals, the gap in their realm is too great.

"I don't know the names of the two Immortal Lords."

They looked at Qing Yanjing and Zhao Linger.

"Taichen, Taili." The two of them blurted out the words as soon as they thought about it.

These two names also have their origins. Chen means star. Qing Yanjing practiced the art of arranging stars. Zhao Linger inherited the legacy of Queen Nuwa, and there is a legend that Nuwa turned into the Mother of Lishan.

With Taiping in front and Taichen and Taili in the back, it is naturally suitable.

"Greetings, the two Immortal Venerables." The four Immortal Venerables felt relieved immediately. Just by hearing their names, they knew that these two, like the Immortal Venerable Taiping, must be people who care about the people of the world.

Qing Yanjing and Zhao Linger nodded slightly. Their cultivation base was both half-step golden immortal, and they were qualified to be called immortal masters.

"The Immortal Master Taiping wants to preach, let us lend a helping hand!"

After Laozi, Sakyamuni, Yan Emperor and Huang Emperor paid their respects, they immediately became impatient and mentioned that countless emperors and kings in ancient and modern times had tried their best to become immortals but failed. Now the immortals were right before their eyes and they wanted to preach. How could they not miss such a great opportunity?

"I have a method that I have passed on to all living beings in the prehistoric world. You can observe it. If you are willing to maintain it, you don't need to pay too much attention to it."

Li Pingan waved his hand. "My path is to cultivate the mind. It requires no talent, no bloodline, no physical constitution, no resources or environment. It is difficult to get started in the early stages, difficult to follow in the middle stages, and even more difficult to achieve enlightenment."

The Avenue of the Mind is right, there are only a few people who have achieved it, and it is not a mining artifact like the Dragonless Heart Method.

In Li Ping'an's opinion, not many people are capable of achieving success in the world of Shrouding the Sky. A lot of people have to clear each state of hypnosis, meditation, fetal breathing, meditation and manifestation of sainthood. Most of the cultivators may not be able to reach the state of 'meditation' even after reaching the Dao Palace or the Four Poles.

What is meditation? It is to use strong mental will and spiritual power to drive away the inner demons, so that the sky is clear and no distracting thoughts arise.

Constant concentration is like that of a Bodhisattva in the eighth stage, whose mind never regresses and always remains consistent.

How can such a spiritual realm be ordinary?

The emperor's state of mind cannot never regress and remain consistent, otherwise how could darkness and turmoil come? There is great terror in the face of life and death, and he cuts himself with a sword, turning it into a forbidden zone.

This is not because the emperor's state of mind is not as stable as usual, but that the world of the trilogy is rather special.

What's worse is that some people even cut themselves with a knife, not knowing whether it is what they really want. If what they want is to live at all costs, then it is also a kind of "determination".

"On behalf of all living beings in the ancient world, we would like to thank the Immortal Venerable for his teachings."

Laozi, Sakyamuni, Yan Emperor and Huang Emperor bowed again. They were all people with profound cultivation. At this moment, they discovered the many meditation methods left by Li Pingan when he changed the earth.

This was also what Li Pingan intended. If he didn't want to, basically no one would be able to discover this earth except for the possible Corpse Immortal Emperor.

"Well, the rest is up to you. The most important thing to achieve immortality is to be firm in your heart and not to doubt."

After Li Ping'an finished speaking, he took Qing Yanjing and Zhao Linger away, leaving only the four.

"Be firm in your heart..."

The four Buddhas seemed to have realized something.

They are all corpses of enlightened people reborn. The cultivation level of the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor is somewhat unworthy of their status and position. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are enlightened in an alternative way. However, in fact, their realm has not changed for a long time.

The reason is self-evident.

Li Ping'an's words woke them up.

It doesn’t matter whether you inherit cause and effect or reject cause and effect. What is important is your own heart, how you think, and how you practice.

Shakyamuni looked at Mars from afar and saw the birth of the Crocodile Ancestor. His eyes understood clearly, "It seems that the holy body is the preacher chosen by the Buddha."

Sleep, meditation, fetal breathing...

With the cultivation level of Laozi, Sakyamuni, Yan Emperor and Huang Emperor, they could naturally see what was happening on Mars. This was the result of Ye Fan's practice of the crystal meditation method.

"The Buddha has indeed come to save all living beings." Sakyamuni clasped his hands together and praised. The first step is sleep, which is to guide all living beings to be good. Insomnia leads to irritability. If everyone sleeps well, wouldn't there be fewer disputes?
