Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 46 Dao Heart
You comforted me...

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "You don't have to be so careful. I won't mind such things. There are more than tens of millions of immortal cultivators in this world. Just because others cultivate slowly doesn't mean I can cultivate quickly. After all, cultivation is your own business. There's no point in comparing yourself with others."

"What's more, you are my junior brothers and sisters. We all belong to the same sect and share weal and woe in the world of immortal cultivation. If you cultivate well, I will only be happier."

Yuan Hongying's eyes lit up, and she smiled, "I'm judging others by my own standards. Senior Brother is not the kind of person who would be so concerned about a moment's honor or disgrace."

The two walked together all the way and only parted ways when they reached Ziyun Mountain.

Zhou Qing returned to his residence and looked at the book "Basics of Formation Symbols" in his hand. He couldn't help but feel a little anxious and wanted to open it immediately to read the profound mysteries of formations.

But the more this happened, the more Zhou Qing put the book down.

He recalled what Chen Qingxuan had told him about the difference in mental skills, and how the head master was planning to promote a method of practicing Qi training for half a day and sitting in silence for half a day to clear the mind.

Zhou Qing sat cross-legged on the couch, closed his eyes, and let his heart slowly calm down.

When he preached before, he often used his magnetic field ability to observe other people's mental states.

After receiving Chen Qingxuan's reminder today and gaining a deeper understanding of the good and evil intentions of cultivators, he suddenly became strongly interested in his own state of mind.

He couldn't help but wonder, could he use the power of magnetic field to reflect on his own state of mind?
Thinking of this, he directed the magnetic field sensor towards himself.

For a moment, the sky full of stars appeared in his perception.

These are all magnetic field reactions produced by countless weak electromagnetic phenomena in his body.

All these stars form a bright and beautiful galaxy.

Zhou Qing expanded his gaze, and the galaxy turned into a thin line.

This thin line can be seen as his lifeline.

Chen Qingxuan once said that in the human mind, countless thoughts as tiny as sand and difficult to detect arise every moment.

Although we cannot perceive them, these tiny thoughts are hidden deep in our hearts and may affect our spiritual aspirations at any time and lead us astray.

Therefore, people must constantly hone their faith in the Tao, making it as strong as steel and unshakable.

But it is easier said than done.

The human heart is unpredictable and difficult to grasp, let alone to temper.

Therefore, in the world of cultivating immortals, there are probably more cultivators who die because of the shaking of their faith in Taoism than those who die in fighting.

Now, Zhou Qing stood in front of his lifeline, and his understanding of Chen Qingxuan's words became even deeper.

He saw that around this thin line, faint stars were constantly being produced. Most of them were destroyed immediately, but many remained and finally joined his lifeline.

These were the thoughts that came to him every moment.

Zhou Qing tried to pick up these thoughts, and then he saw all kinds of hidden desires in his heart.

There are those who want to compete for glory and boast before others, those who want to show off their prowess before others, those who want to be invincible, those who want to cherish a sweet fragrance and cherish a beautiful woman, and those who want to be at ease and indulge themselves...

Of course, there is also an exceptionally strong desire for immortality.

All these thoughts were mixed in the small space, and each thought was tempting him, trying to make him establish itself as the main thought.

The desire for immortality still dominated his mind. It was like a general trapped in a lonely city, facing an endless stream of enemies, like a tide. If he showed any weakness, one of them would take advantage of the situation, seize his city, expel him from the orthodoxy, and establish himself as king.

Zhou Qing watched the war happening in his heart, and then joined the defenders without hesitation.

When Zhou Qing woke up from meditation, it was already evening.

He felt as if his heart had been cleansed. Those subtle thoughts continued to arise, but the main thought of seeking immortality was extremely clear and firm, and it refused to allow other thoughts to challenge its authority.

The clarity and firmness of this idea brought Zhou Qing a sense of security, as if no matter how the world changes, he himself would remain unmoved and unyielding.

Zhou Qing understood that this feeling was just an illusion brought about by his sudden clarity of mind. He was still far from reaching such a state, but at this moment he was extremely sure that he was on the right path.

He walked out of the house. The sun had already set, but the golden glow was still hanging in the sky.

Zhou Qing wandered along the mountain road, looking at the undulating mountains in the distance. He thought about how many emperors, generals, talented men and beautiful women there were among mortals, and how many geniuses and heroes there were in the world of immortal cultivation, who had made astonishing achievements. But now they were all dead, and their achievements had become a laughing stock among the people of later generations.

Whether later generations praise or criticize them, they are ignorant and insensitive.

The most important thing in this world is longevity.

After strolling for a while, Zhou Qing returned to the house and began his practice for the day.

He was pleasantly surprised to find that after his Dao heart was clear, even the speed of his Qi circulation increased a lot. In the past, he needed to practice the exercises for three cycles before he could refine the spiritual energy. Now that his Dao heart was more solid and pure, it could better command the spiritual energy. It only took two cycles to refine the spiritual energy.

Three hours later, Zhou Qing finished the Qigong exercise feeling refreshed.

There was still a lot of magnetic field energy left, but he didn't intend to use it all up. He had to have some spare to prevent any accidents.

It was already late at night, but Zhou Qing, who had been practicing for a long time, did not feel sleepy.

He picked up the "Basics of Formation Symbols" that he had put down before and started reading. At this time, he no longer felt a sense of urgency.

It was no longer the book that tempted him to read, but he was reading.

The difference was very subtle, but Zhou Qing could feel it.

There is a chapter on the overview of formations at the beginning of "The Fundamentals of Formation Symbols". The content is nothing more than what Chen Qingxuan once told him, that formations are the language of heaven and earth, and arranging formations is the cultivator issuing commands to the spiritual energy between heaven and earth in the language of heaven and earth.

This should be the cultivator's understanding of the essence of the formation.

In addition to this principle as an outline, the overview also introduces the three main modules of formation, namely formation semiotics, formation structure, and formation materials.

Among them, formation semiotics aims to analyze and define the exact meaning of formation symbols. The clearer the definition, the more precise the application.

According to Zhou Qing's understanding, the structural theory of formations can also be called the grammar of formations.

If symbols are the vocabulary of the formation, then structure is the grammar of using vocabulary.

Only when words conform to grammar can they form sentences with clear meanings, and only when formation symbols are arranged according to a certain structure can the formation play its role.

The last subject is array material science, which studies the materials used to arrange arrays. Array symbols cannot be drawn randomly to play a role. Different symbols, or even the same symbol, must have different materials to play different roles.

These materials include natural objects such as the blood of various demons and special minerals, as well as synthetic substances that have been explored and invented by monks for countless years.
