From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Bai Yuetian was astonished: Σ(°△°|||)︴, but considering that the girl was Wugensheng's daughter, he decided to give Wugensheng face.

Wugensheng, however, looked completely bewildered, his eyes filled with resentment as he gazed at Jiang Liu.

I asked you to adopt the baby, not to bring her to me!

Before he could say it aloud, Jiang Liu could read the meaning in Wugensheng's eyes without using his telepathic abilities. He smiled knowingly and said, "Yinghe, when she grows up and finds out I've 'locked' you up here, she might turn against me. I don't want to go through any melodramatic situations, so it's better to be clear."

There was nothing we could do.

Wugensheng had no choice but to put away his resentful expression, but he was still at a loss when faced with his daughter's sudden arrival. He panicked for a moment and said to Feng Baobao, "Um, well, didn't Daddy find you a new daddy?"

Snapped!

X2

Jiang Liu sighed, speechless.

The same applies to Baiyuetian.

Nine-year-old Feng Baobao is a bit more mature than other children, but her logical thinking ability is not yet fully developed. She asked in a muffled voice, "Do I have two fathers?"

Wugensheng opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to express himself, so he could only turn to Jiang Liu for help.

"How about this, baby, you can call me Master." Jiang Liu planned to take on another disciple.

"Master?"

Feng Baobao didn't understand.

"It means he is both a teacher and a father, someone as close as my biological father," Wugensheng explained to his daughter.

"Isn't that still Dad?"

Feng Baobao couldn't understand the difference between the two and decided to continue calling Jiang Liu "Dad" from now on.

"Row."

Jiang Liu smiled slightly and said to Wugensheng, "I will raise your daughter."

“Master, can you stop joking with your disciple?” Wugensheng’s mouth twitched, utterly speechless.

“Your master is Subhuti, what does that have to do with me, Jiang Liu? Don’t make up a master-disciple relationship!” Jiang Liu said righteously. “Besides, in terms of age, I should call you brother.”

Wugensheng was speechless.

But after this round of banter, the atmosphere on set became lively, making Feng Baobao giggle.

The young girl didn't quite understand what was happening, but she knew that from this moment on, she was no longer alone.

Wang Ma...

Although he was very good to her, he couldn't write or read. He usually just took care of her basic needs and they barely chatted.

But now it's different.

She has two fathers!

However, this idea did not last for more than half a month. After Feng Baobao got used to the Cultural Street and Yuhang, Jiang Liu sent her to Mingxin Academy.

During the foundation-building stage, it's still important to interact more with peers.

Indeed.

Jiang Liu could protect her throughout her life, but this world—

Ultimately, she has to experience it for herself.

As a qualified guardian, there is only one thing I can do: teach her survival skills, cultivation techniques, and the principles of being a good person. As for her future destiny, I will leave it to her to choose... As long as she doesn't go astray, I will not interfere too much and will let her make her own way.

That's it.

That's how it is.

Feng Baobao enrolled in the school as Jiang Liu's daughter without hiding it. Fortunately, the teachers in the school did not treat her differently because of this. She was punished for her mistakes as usual. In fact, because she was Jiang Liu's daughter, the teachers were stricter with her than with other students.

If it were an ordinary girl, she would definitely go home and complain that the teacher treated her differently. But Feng Baobao was highly talented and resilient, so she endured it and achieved excellent academic results. She was also exceptionally gifted in cultivation. She felt the Qi sensation after only doing one round of radio calisthenics, which is the foundation-building method.

Talent is inherited from Wugensheng, resilience... comes from the past without parental companionship, ultimately, it all stems from Wugensheng.

During this half-month period, the elders of Zhao Pingshan, Zhao Tianhai, Feng Tianyang, Zhang Dong, and Wei Shufen also came to Yuhang one after another.

Among them, Zhao Pingshan and Zhao Tianhai had already made up their minds to stay in Yuhang and establish a factory. In a fit of anger, the elders of Tiangongtang actually separated nearly half of their clansmen to stay behind. On the surface, they said it was to help their talented disciples, but the other three families could see that they just wanted to leave a branch behind.

The Flowing Cloud Sword sect has few members, simply because its techniques combine the manipulation and transformation of objects in the Flowing Cloud Swordplay. The entry threshold is much higher than other techniques. Including the sect leader, Lin Zifeng, and a few others, there are a total of nine members.

After much deliberation, the sect leader decided to stay in Yuhang and join the Confucian Association's security department, Na Du Tong. He believed that to achieve mastery of swordsmanship, one must kill and draw blood.

The world is in chaos, with all sorts of people mixed together. In particular, the advent of firearms has made the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique of the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect seem less applicable.

For the sake of the sect's survival, the sect leader of Liuyun Sect must also find a way to make concessions.

Furthermore.

The mainstream sects of Quanzhen, Zhengyi, and Chan Buddhism all compromised with Confucianism and cooperated with it, establishing Confucianism-Nadutong branches outside the gates of Tianshi Mansion, Baiyun Temple, and Shaolin Temple. Liuyun Sword followed suit, which was not shameful.

However, the Liangshan shamans and the Grand Gu Master, due to their unusual methods, were not suitable for cultivation in Yuhang. Therefore, Feng Tianyang and Wei Shufen were left behind…

Chapter 1330 Witnessing the Taiyi and Daluo

With the matter of the "Six Saints" completely resolved, Jiang Liu returned to his previous life.

Presiding over the work of the Confucian Association...

Going to Mingxin Academy for classes...

Its connections with the mainstream of Taoism and Buddhism...

A sermon held once a month on the 15th...

Besides that.

Jiang Liu has two more responsibilities.

Working with Hong Guniang and Bai Yuekui on research into the creation of life.

And raising Feng Baobao.

In his cultivation, Jiang Liu used Dharma images and talismans as his foundation, and attained—

The Inner Circumference Fire Control Treasure Elephant Talisman Seal, the Life Tree Array Black Chicken Talisman Seal, the Kunpeng Chechi Talisman Seal, the Serket Xiliang Woman Talisman Seal, the Fish Dragon Sacrifice Talisman Seal, the Nine-Rank Lotus Transformation Vermilion Purple Talisman Seal, the Five Elements Yin Yang Lion Camel Talisman Seal, the Ancestral Dragon Bhikkhu Talisman Seal, and the Return to One Extinction Dharma Talisman Seal.

He placed his energy in the nine orifices—lower dantian, coccyx, spine, occipital bone, yang orifice, upper dantian, middle dantian, middle dantian, and yin orifice—and attained the Taiyi state. He then completely mastered his 4.6 billion years of cultivation and obtained 33 Dao fruits.

Furthermore, having attained enlightenment of the Great Luo Dao, one can utilize the Dao of the various heavens and the self of Taiyi for one's own purposes, thus achieving the status of a true saint, Amitabha, or Great Luo Immortal who encompasses all things.

Taiyi and Daluo are both proven.

Nothing could be more true.

Journey to the West is indeed a guide to spiritual practice, complementing the spiritual theories of Taoism and Buddhism, yet forming its own distinct lineage.

If we take Tang Sanzang as the protagonist, the nine national seals on his travel document, as well as the three county, state, and prefecture seals, all have specific meanings.

The nine national seals, needless to say, represent the nine orifices of the human body, which is also the fundamental point pointed out by the author of this book through the words of Venus: "All those with nine orifices can become immortals."

This is also the foundation of Jiangliu's spiritual practice and theory.

now.

Jiang Liu's Qi flows through the nine orifices, the nine orifices contain the Qi formation, the Qi formation depicts the sacred embryo, the sacred embryo returns to the elixir, and he has also cultivated the Dharma of Heaven and Earth, the Dharma of Heaven and Earth, but to be completely perfect, he still needs three more talismans/Qi formations.

It corresponds to the seals of Fengxian County, Yuhua Prefecture, and Jinping Prefecture.

Previously, Jiang Liu believed that these three seals referred to "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top"—

The balsam sprinkles sweet rain, irrigating fertile fields, and strives for nirvana to transform into the balsam.

Yu Hua subdued the nine-headed lion, yin and yang united, and the Qi manifested as the primordial chaos, thus attaining creation.

Jinping destroyed the three rhinoceroses, stopped offering clay sculptures, and worshipped the gods to free himself from constraints.

These three things sound lofty and sophisticated, but in practice, they are nothing more than teaching how to refine essence into qi, refine qi into spirit, and refine spirit into emptiness to complete a cycle. Jiang Liu has already accomplished this.

However, the author of *Journey to the West* deliberately recorded the seals of Fengxian County, Yuhua Prefecture, and Jinping Prefecture on the travel documents...

Now, Jiang Liu has attained the Taiyi realm and the Daluo realm. Recently, in order to follow the natural order and procreate, he has had further insights and has completely completed one of the eight aspects, the Transcendental Aspect. He has discovered that his body's essence, energy, and spirit, in their constant cycle, are spontaneously constructing something that resembles a talisman, a seal, or a diagram.

According to Jiang Liu's speculation, after his own Three Corpse Gods were completely cleansed of impurities and transformed into the Three Pure Ones, each sitting in the upper, middle, and lower Dantian respectively, and after combining with the thirty-six heavens of the Three Realms, Nine Lands, and Thirty-Three Heavens of the human body, the ginseng fruit tree representing the cycle of the heavens within the Golden Core Holy Embryo should bear thirty-six fruits.

But in reality there were only thirty-three.

This is probably because although he attained the highest level of enlightenment and achieved the highest level of understanding, his essence, energy, and spirit had not truly evolved into corresponding talismanic symbols.

The method of forging the talismans of these three treasures is different from that of the other nine orifices, which are obtained by learning from heaven and earth and represent the innate eight trigrams and natural energy. They are constructed by understanding nature, seeking principles, and verifying practices. Therefore, in theory, if each person reaches the Taiyi realm, the talismans constructed by the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit will be different due to individual experiences, memories, and beliefs.

Jiang Liu was puzzled about how to construct these three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit. No matter how he deduced them, he could not get a definite result. It seemed that they could only be constructed spontaneously through experience.

But Jiang Liu also deduced four words:

Heaven and man are one.

To discuss these four words would require a lengthy discourse, but in a simple summary, it is nothing more than humanity's efforts to harmonize the relationship between humans and nature in individual self-cultivation and collective development.

Jiang Liu practices this path, but the evolution of the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit is still slow.

It wasn't that Jiang Liu was impatient, but rather that he didn't understand.

The book "Journey to the West" also existed in his previous life. The cultivation path contained in it merged with Taoism and Buddhism, forming its own system. He has now verified this with his own life. The ninth of the twelve seals on the pass represents the nine orifices. Logically speaking, the last three seals, the Fengxian County Seal, the Yuhua Prefecture Seal, and the Jinping Prefecture Seal, should also be able to be forged in a short time, rather than requiring years to achieve.

What we seek through the years is the cultivation and attainment of the Tao, gradually approaching the source of the "Tao." Surely Lao Tzu and Buddha could not have cultivated for tens of thousands of years?

With the blessing of the power of all the gods and other beings?

Regarding this point, Jiang Liuming understood the Great Luo, which could bless the Taiyi Dao of others, enabling them to jointly attain the Great Luo. Although it encompassed all things, the experiences of each other were independent. Viewing other beings was like watching a movie; one could not, and could not, incorporate the experiences of all other beings into one's own.

That would cause confusion in self-awareness and distortion at the psychological level.

Although we are all "me", everyone's experiences, memories, will, and mind are different. If we were to unify them, there would only be one outcome.

All others and I merged into one, becoming unique, leaving only "I," transcending the Taiyi realm, and completely attaining the status of Great Immortal, Amitabha, and True Saint.

Laozi and Shakyamuni most likely followed this path; the former solidified the root of all sentient beings, while the latter instilled the Dharma nature in the hearts of sentient beings.

Transcendence, to mend the "Dao" of heaven and earth.

Nirvana elucidates the "Dharma" of the mind.
