Primordial Era: Jade Cauldron Immortal only desires a steady path to enlightenment!

Chapter 65 Lighting the Lamp: A Thought of God or Demon is My True Self!

Manjushri paused for a moment before responding again.

"I realize I might have made a mistake."

"Obsession is also a derivative of the spiritual path."

"The power and strength that willpower can sometimes exert are far greater than the power that can be exerted by cultivating the physical body, laws, and spirit."

"The path that Teacher Ran Deng has walked may seem endless and full of thorns, but in reality it is a road that leads to heaven."

"Not only does it have a clear direction, but it also possesses the potential to transcend the heavens and earth compared to current cultivation methods!"

Yu Ding saw that he had achieved his goal.

He nodded slightly, looking satisfied.

This presented the final test.

"Now that we know the way of the heart, there is a bright path ahead that we can walk."

Do you regret it?

"If you wish to return to Vice Master Ran Deng's side to cultivate again."

"I will definitely not stop you."

After saying this, Yu Ding handed the Immortal-Slaying and God-Slaying Sword to the other party, indicating that he could leave at any time if he wanted to.

"Three million miles to the east, Vice Master Ran Deng resides..."

Just as he was showing Manjushri the way to find the lamp.

The other party, however, shook their head slightly with a calm expression.

They interrupted him directly when he was about to say something.

"Junior Brother Yu Ding, you're overthinking it."

"I have simply come to realize the incredible nature of the spiritual path."

Manjushri respectfully returned the immortal-slaying and god-destroying sword to the jade cauldron.

He expressed his true feelings.

"It's not that I feel remorse or have any intention of betraying them."

"Now that I've accepted him as my junior brother, I naturally wouldn't have any other thoughts."

Upon seeing this, Yu Ding nodded slightly and waved to Donghai with a faint smile.

"Fellow Daoist, now that you've seen me, let's get to know each other."

As soon as the invitation was given, Dipankara, along with Samantabhadra and Cihang, used their ability to shrink the earth to an inch to instantly traverse a million miles and arrive before the three.

"In just a few hundred years, you have made further progress in your spiritual realm."

"It seems that the method of tempering one's mind by observing the myriad phenomena of the mortal world and the desires of all beings is indeed quite effective."

"Fellow Daoist is joking."

When Ran Deng offered his congratulations to Yu Ding, he responded with a gentle smile, but his eyes remained calm as he spoke in a low voice.

"Good fortune and misfortune are interdependent, which is the fundamental rule governing the operation of heaven and earth."

"The greater the blessings one enjoys, the greater the corresponding negative karma one will bear."

"I am now also taking my first steps on the path of the heart."

"While the method of tempering one's mind by taking advantage of the myriad phenomena of the world and the desires of all beings is good, it carries considerable risks."

"If it weren't for my solid mental foundation."

"One thought can be sacred, another can be demonic."

"Perhaps this will be the most accurate description of my current situation!"

This method can indeed temper one's mind.

Let your mindset grow rapidly in a short period of time!

However, it is also equivalent to looking directly at the darkest and most evil side of the human heart.

Of all things in the world, only the human heart cannot be looked at directly.

In ordinary times, one can indeed see the kindness in people's hearts.

But it is more than the endless and unpredictable malice.

Even with his current state of mind, he was finding it difficult to cope!

As for Cihang and Puxian, they were merely breaking free from the shackles of desire for the first time and gaining the initial qualifications to step into the path of the mind.

It is not yet sufficient to use the myriad phenomena of the mortal world and the desires of all beings to improve one's mental cultivation.

This is why Yu Ding was able to meet them here.

The worldly phenomena and evil desires within the human race far exceeded his imagination.

To ensure that they are not consumed by malice.

He cannot stay within the human territory for an extended period of time.

He could only travel for a period of time, taking Cihang and Puxian with him to the outside world to experience the myriad phenomena of nature.

Clear away the malice surrounding your heart, and dispel the evil desires and resentment that arise in your mind.

"Fellow Daoist, you are indeed not in good condition right now."

Yu Ding looked at the lamp, which appeared calm on the surface but secretly harbored a hint of malevolence and lust.

As he frowned slightly, he took out a sixth-grade Pure World White Lotus from within his palm and handed it to the other party.

"This is the most precious treasure of Fangzhang Immortal Island, one of the five innate lotus platforms, a branch of the twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus, and a sixth-grade Pure World White Lotus."

"The divine power to purify the mind is not as strong as the physical body."

"But it also possesses one-third of the power of the original body."

"This should be helpful to you."

The latest novel is first published here!

Upon hearing this, a fleeting glint of greed crossed Ran Deng's eyes.

But it was quickly suppressed in his heart.

He bowed deeply to express his gratitude for the treasure bestowed by the jade tripod before reaching out to accept the sixth-grade Pure White Lotus.

"Thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist."

The moment I received the Pure White Lotus.

The lamp immediately felt a sense of relief and peace.

Originally, it was necessary to focus on suppressing the evil desires and violent energy.

In an instant, it was gradually melted away by the radiant light of the Pure White Lotus!

However, evil desires and resentment originate from within themselves and are an indispensable part of the human heart.

There has always been only suppression, never absolute annihilation.

After all the evil thoughts and resentment that arose were dissolved, the remaining source was suppressed by the divine power of the Pure World White Lotus and pushed back into the dark side of the heart!

Wait patiently for the next malicious attack.

It erupted again, invading his heart, and caused Randeng to fall into the demonic path!

"Although the magic weapon is good, fellow Daoist, you must not be lax."

"The path of the mind is not like the ordinary path of spiritual practice."

"It is truly going against the current."

"The slightest lapse in vigilance will capsize the ship amidst the raging waves, resulting in the destruction of the vessel and the loss of life."

At this point, Yu Ding took out three jade pendants engraved with the four noble flowers of plum blossom, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum from his bosom and handed them to Randeng and the other two.

"This is something I casually crafted."

"It has a good suppressive effect on many evil spirits and desires."

"Wearing it at all times can reduce some malicious attacks."

"And when the mind is compromised, it can be destroyed, releasing its power all at once."

"I don't know if I can help you through this crisis."

"But it should give you a moment of clarity."

"At that time, as long as you call out Master's name, you will surely receive timely help."

The power contained within these three jade pendants.

In fact, it is the noble spirit contained within the blank paper.

He originally had no way to obtain it.

But ever since the inheritance within the blank paper was forcibly obtained by the master.

It's unclear whether the blank paper believed it had found a successor, or whether the seal was forcibly broken, causing damage to the sealing technique.

This leads to the inherent righteous spirit within it.

Not only can a portion of it be gradually extracted by him.

Furthermore, it will continue to leak out over time!

In order not to waste this noble spirit.

He could only make use of it using the methods he was most proficient in.

A gentleman's jade pendant of mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure level.

This was one of the results of his experiments.

After all, if you want to teach Confucianism and Taoism, you need some teaching aids.

These magical artifacts, crafted with righteous spirit at their core, are the teaching tools that best align with Confucianism and Taoism!
