Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 148 The Truth of the Dao Heart World

The gate to Wei Kuang's courtyard was opened.

Elder Jinmang went first, followed by Zhou Qing and Qingyuan.

The elder held Wei Kuang's body.

Sensing the unusual phenomenon, all the disciples who had rushed over gathered around.

Elder Jinmang ignored everyone and soared into the sky while carrying Wei Kuang's corpse.

He wanted to send Wei Kuang back to the Wei family for burial.

"Elder brother..."

The crowd gathered around, wanting to ask what had happened, but they couldn't bring themselves to say it, because the situation was already quite clear.

Zhou Qing scanned the faces of the crowd one by one, their expressions filled with confusion, frustration, and fear.

Among the disciples of the same generation, Wei Kuang was second only to Zhou Qing. Although Qingyun Sect did not rank its disciples except for establishing a senior brother, everyone still regarded him as another senior brother below Zhou Qing.

Wei Kuang was highly talented and simple-minded. He had almost no hobbies other than cultivation. Such a person should have been a seed for immortal cultivation, and Foundation Establishment would not have been his limit. However, he has now fallen at the first level of Qi Refining.

This dealt an unprecedented blow to the other disciples.

Seeing everyone's dejected appearance, Zhou Qing shook his head and said to Wei Xu, "Tell our junior brothers and sisters to come to my house for a gathering tomorrow night."

Wei Xu nodded silently.

Zhou Qing said, "Go back, it's getting late. We can talk about it tomorrow night."

The disciples then dispersed.

Zhou Qing and Qing Yuan also returned to their own homes.

Qingyuan could tell that he was in a bad mood, so she didn't dare to speak. As soon as she got home, she rushed into the temporary room that Zhou Qing had arranged for her.

Zhou Qing himself continued to wander around the courtyard.

He felt a dull unease enveloping his heart, as if dulling his mind and making him lose his usual clarity and decisiveness.

Zhou Qing sat cross-legged on the porch and entered a state of tranquility.

His consciousness entered his state of mind.

This mysterious realm remained as desolate as before, with many scattered thoughts wandering within it, but they were not strong enough to touch one's Dao heart.

Zhou Qing quickly sensed that things were different from usual.

The entire inner world was shrouded in a light mist, giving one a sense of melancholy.

Zhou Qing guessed that this was the effect of Wei Kuang's death.

This is a phenomenon that has never occurred before in the world of mind. Previously, the desires that threatened the Dao heart were very clear and could be easily identified and then eliminated by the Dao heart. But now, this kind of sadness permeates all directions.

He traversed the mist and arrived at the main position of the Dao Heart.

Dao Xin's appearance was no different from his, and he was looking at an object in his palm with confusion.

Zhou Qing walked to his side and looked into his palm. There was a small Qingyuan there, staring up at him with curious eyes.

Oh.

When Zhou Qing recalled visiting Wei Kuang's house, there was a moment when he felt something unfamiliar enter his heart; it turned out to be this little thing.

Zhou Qing was not surprised by this. Qingyuan was a beautiful and sincere woman, and cultivators were not made of wood or stone; they could not be indifferent.

How one deals with these frequently occurring thoughts reveals the true nature of a spiritual practitioner.

Dao Xin looked at the little man with confusion, then cast an inquiring glance at the main consciousness.

The two changes in his mental world were things he had never encountered before. First, there was the sudden appearance of this little one. Unlike the previous ones who were fierce and eager to replace him, this little one was calm and peaceful, and seemed harmless, making him unsure whether she was his enemy.

Then came the pervasive mist, which shrouded the entire mental world in a bleak atmosphere. However, unlike the previously distinct desires that clearly distinguished friend from foe, it left him momentarily at a loss as to how to deal with them.

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "Why are you looking at me?"

“You are my Dao heart, the true heart that guides my cultivation. I may be confused, but you cannot be confused. I may be soft-hearted, but you must be firm. You must always be discerning about what we should truly care about.”

Dao Xin nodded, clasped his hands together, crushed the little man to death, and casually tossed him into the wilderness outside the main seat.

Dao Xin clearly understood his true nature, and a surge of golden light emanated from his body, sweeping away the fog in his entire mental world and restoring its former clarity.

Zhou Qing sat cross-legged in front of Dao Xin, gazing at this mysterious and unpredictable world of the mind.

It seems that cultivating one's Dao heart is not as easy as I used to imagine. It is not enough to simply sit quietly and purify one's mind every day, or to use eternal damnation to awaken various desires for tempering.

He recalled a sage named Wang Yangming from his previous life.

In response to the popular meditation practice at the time, Wang Yangming proposed the concept of tempering oneself through action, believing that true Daoist heart must be obtained through movement, and can never be acquired in stillness.

Zhou Qing had previously been vague about it, but now, as his understanding of Daoist cultivation deepened, he began to grasp the essence of this method.

In fact, the practice of meditation to purify the mind and the trials of eternal damnation are of the same nature: to awaken the desires in people's hearts, to enable the mind to overcome desires, and thus to achieve elevation.

But today's events made Zhou Qing realize that eternal damnation only awakened the remnants of past desires.

But life always offers new experiences and sparks new desires. Compared to the lingering traces of past desires, these fresh desires are more vibrant and powerful.

Therefore, the correct practice of the Dao should combine stillness and movement, with stillness as the foundation and movement as the means to achieve its application.

Zhou Qing felt that he had touched upon the complete method of cultivating the Dao Heart. Perhaps in the future, as his understanding becomes richer, he will be able to refine a mature secret method of cultivating the Dao Heart.

Zhou Qing shook his head self-deprecatingly, turned around to look at Dao Xin standing quietly behind him, and then waved his hand to dispel him.

The Dao mind and the human mind are simply one mind.

In truth, the world of the mind is always just one's own mind.

As his Dao Heart dissipated, Zhou Qing felt the Dao Heart Vision that had been intentionally or unintentionally blocked appear on him, allowing him to see through the essence of this mental world.

This mental world is an illusory realm organized from his own memories. He doesn't know how this world was formed, only that when he uses magnetic field induction to reflect on his own electromagnetic signals, he will break through to this realm.

Now that he has brought the vision of the Dao into himself, he feels as if he has become a bright lamp, illuminating all illusions.

The illusory world he had built with his memories began to crumble, revealing the true nature of his inner world.

It was a dark and chaotic realm where time and space were indistinguishable; only the golden light emanating from him could illuminate the small area around him.

In the shadows beyond the golden light, strange shapes would occasionally appear, like venomous snakes ready to bite him at any moment, but they were quickly driven away by the golden light as they approached him.

Zhou Qing understood that this was the true nature of human desires.

Suddenly, a feeling stirred within him, and he looked up in confusion.
