You've only been cultivating for a few years, and you're already talking about cultivating

Spiritual energy is the power between heaven and earth; it is an external force.

Turning external forces into your own requires a crucial step!

That is, spiritual energy needs to be mixed with one's own "cognition," transforming "it" into "me," transforming from something unclaimed between heaven and earth into the cultivator's own magical power.

This is the "method of proving the Way," proving one's own Way and realizing one's own "method"!

Without one's own understanding, where does one's own "law" come from?

No matter how good, wonderful, or profound the things you hear from others, read from scriptures, or are passed down from your master, they are ultimately someone else's.

The golden Buddha sat opposite, calmly watching the silver-white lightning crackling around Qi Fei's body.

He didn't move.

He didn't even show any surprise.

Qi Fei learned Lei Leilei's thunder magic, and he saw it.

He saw the lightning crackling from Qi Fei's body.

But so what?

If I learn thunder magic, I can escape from his palm?

A cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending stage, who has just obtained the Dao Proof Method and hasn't even stepped into the threshold yet, what kind of achievements can he possibly make? And what can he possibly achieve...?

He stared in astonishment as Qi Fei grew larger.

It doesn't grow bigger little by little, but it grows bigger segment by segment!

Within this "Alaya," a cultivator's physical power is never equivalent to their cognition.

A monk like Chan Kong would be considered a decent cultivator in the outside world, but here, he was only slightly larger than the average person, like a firefly landing on Qi Fei's shoulder.

Mao Ding, the sect leader of the Five Cauldrons Sect, was a master of the sect with profound cultivation, but the moment he was pulled in, he had already seen Amolo.

But Qi Fei is different.

He was originally the same size as the golden Buddha, like two mountains sitting face to face, neither shorter than the other. But now, he is growing.

The golden Buddha looked at him with a kind of...confusion in its gaze.

Can the path to enlightenment undergo such a significant transformation?

The golden Buddha lowered its head and glanced at the silvery-white, winding lightning bolt coiled around its body like a dragon.

That's not very big.

Lei Leilei was also watching.

He was even more bewildered than the golden Buddha.

He passed on the Five Thunder Sect's Dao-proving method to Qi Fei, hoping that Qi Fei would have some trump card after practicing it, and could save him.

He's gambling.

In any case, once he is converted, he will no longer be the person he used to be, and he will no longer be a disciple of the Five Thunder Sect.

However, he did not expect this outcome.

He stared blankly at Qi Fei, who kept growing larger. Was thunder magic really that... powerful?

He practiced for decades, progressing from Guanzhen to Lijie, and from Lijie to the Three Pure Ones, taking one step at a time, climbing one level at a time. He believed he had never slacked off for a single day or missed a single session of practice.

However, his thunder magic, within the Alaya consciousness, is a dragon bound by a golden Buddha. Qi Fei's thunder magic, on the other hand, is a rising mountain, crackling with lightning, that continues to grow larger.

How can the difference be so big?

Something seems off here.

What they didn't know was that Qi Fei's transformation wasn't rooted in thunder magic.

What truly made him grow bigger was the similarity between Lei Fa and the theory of contradictions, which refreshed his understanding.

He has many ideas, many insights, and many things brought from another world that are incompatible with this world.

He felt he was right, but he wasn't sure.

He felt he was on the right path, but he wasn't sure.

He felt that materialism, contradiction, and dialectics could be used to understand the world and to guide spiritual practice, but he wasn't sure.

He had no way of confirming or verifying it!

Now, Leifa has given him a test, proving that his idea was correct.

So what truly made him grow bigger was not the Thunder Magic itself, but the knowledge brought from another world.

Those uncertain pieces of knowledge, after being verified by Lei Fa, became certain "cognition".

So he is growing.

He looked down at the golden Buddha in front of him.

The golden Buddha that was just the same size as him is now shorter. It's not that the golden Buddha got smaller; it's that he got bigger.

The golden Buddha statue was so large that it only reached his chest, like an adult looking at a half-grown child.

Then the golden Buddha reached his waist.

It's like an adult watching a toddler who has just learned to walk.

Then the golden Buddha reached his knees.

It's like an adult watching a baby crawling on the ground.

He saw the thunder dragon on the golden Buddha's body, so he reached out his hand!

His hand was so big that when he stretched it out, the space around it darkened for a moment, like a dark cloud drifting over and blocking out the sun.

The golden light emanating from the golden Buddha was mostly obscured by the shadow of his palm, and even the golden city was enveloped by his shadow.

He reached out and pinched the thunder dragon with two fingers, like pinching an earthworm.

Lei Leilei didn't even have time to struggle. He felt an irresistible force envelop him from all sides, and then his body felt light as he was peeled off the golden Buddha.

He wrapped his fingers around Qi Fei's.

The golden Buddha moved.

The golden light surrounding him suddenly intensified, no longer the gentle, dawn-like light of before, but a blazing, scorching light that seemed to burn everything to ashes.

The light burst forth from his body and swept towards Qi Fei's palm, attempting to snatch the Thunder Dragon back.

But Qifei is too big.

He messed up.

In this Alaya-vijnana that he created with his own hands and thought he controlled everything, he failed.

Before Qi Fei could say anything more, his vision suddenly blurred.

This familiar feeling made him realize that he had been kicked out again.

It wasn't that he lost the debate, but rather that Jin Fo didn't want to debate anymore.

It's because he's too big.

His very existence is the biggest challenge to the Golden Buddha.

In the real world, Qi Fei shook hands. There was no lightning-like dragon in his hand; he was just an ordinary-sized dragon.

In the real world, he is just of average build.

At this moment, the "sword" spoke in his mind: "Man, you have obtained the Dao-proving method? You have become stronger and have magical power."

Just as the "sword" had said, Qi Fei sensed the changes within his body.

The spiritual energy that was originally being absorbed into his body, along with the Dao-proving method he encountered in that strange space, allowed his understanding to merge with the spiritual energy, generating new power.

Qi Fei's mind stirred slightly.

He opened his palm, his fingertips trembling slightly.

A bolt of lightning shot out from his palm. The lightning was drawn out from the lines of his palm, meandered half a foot in the air, and then "crackled" and exploded into a small, blue-white spark.

This is the magical power he generated through cultivating the Thunder Technique to attain enlightenment!

It is his true "Dharma"!

At this moment, he was a true cultivator.

Not far away, Chan Kong looked at Qi Fei with a complicated expression, stepped forward and said respectfully, "Congratulations. Congratulations, Big Guy, on obtaining the Dao-proving method that suits you."

There are many methods of attaining enlightenment in the cultivation world. If Qi Fei is willing, he can accept the method of attaining enlightenment from Chanxin Temple or Chanzhi.

But anything that contradicts his understanding cannot become his path to enlightenment.

Only the Thunder Method and the Theory of Contradiction are the methods by which he attained enlightenment!
