Lu Tianze's figure in front of the light curtain. As he waved his hand, the figure of a monk gradually emerged on the screen. His flesh began to crumble, his bones exposed, and his soul trembled in the shadow of death. The whole scene was horrifying.

"When you reach the stage of spiritual transformation and ascend to the realm of emptiness, you will face the moment of life and death." Lu Tianze's voice was steady, with a coldness that penetrated through life and death.

"At this stage, you are no longer simply cultivating spiritual power, but must face your deepest fear - the reality of death."

He glanced at the disciples, and some of the timid ones began to swallow nervously.

Chu Yang even subconsciously shrank back, muttering softly, "This calamity is too cruel. Is it really going to die while I'm still practicing?"

Lu Tianze ignored these small movements and continued:

“The tribulation of life and death is not a simple test, but an extreme torture of both the senses and the soul.

During the catastrophe, your bodies will gradually decay, your souls will be shattered beyond repair, and you may even feel yourself being devoured bit by bit by the heavens. If you harbor even the slightest fear, you will fall into eternal annihilation, without even the chance of reincarnation.

His tone was as cold as a knife, but then he changed the subject:

"But you must remember that death is never the end, but rather a necessary step in spiritual practice. Life and death are nothing but reincarnation."

After the body of the monk in the light curtain collapsed, his soul turned into a ray of light, re-condensed, and finally broke through the shackles of death, showing new power.

Lu Tianze explained, "The Supreme Forgetfulness Heart Method believes that only by seeing through life and death can one transcend life and death. The way to 'forgetfulness' is not to be ruthless, but to be fearless."

He pointed his finger, and the image changed into a monk sitting in a vision of death, meditating continuously, with a faint light emanating from his body.

"The Secret of Reincarnation is the key. By repeatedly simulating the feeling of death,

Let your souls adapt to this separation and reorganization, and eventually reach a state where they are fearless of life and death. Lu Tianze paused and said in a deep voice:

“Remember, life and death are but thresholds on the path of cultivation. Those who are afraid will only fall before the threshold.”

Xiang Fan in the audience felt his scalp tingle as he lowered his head and secretly wrote in his notebook:

"How do I simulate death? Do I just lie down and chant a spell and wait for death? This calamity is really not very friendly to people."

Chu Yang quietly nudged Xiang Fan and whispered, "Hey, what's this Wu Nian Jue? Do you really dare to try it? I feel like the chances of dying after practicing this are pretty high."

Xiang Fan suppressed his laughter and whispered back, "With you blocking me, I won't try."

At this time, Lu Tianze waved his hand, and the light curtain changed again. This time, a cultivator stood on the cloud.

Overlooking the myriad living beings, the mountains kneel down in the painting, and the people pay homage. The monk holds a golden scepter in his hand, with a domineering smile on his face.

"To advance from the realm of emptiness to the realm of calamity is the calamity of the world." Lu Tianze's tone became heavier.

"Your power at this point is already beyond the ordinary, even surpassing all living beings. However, such power will breed a desire for control within the cultivator, leading to an obsession with absolute control over all living beings."

“At this stage, your inner demon is no longer yourself, but the entire world.

The Way of Heaven will make you think you have it all, even creating the illusion that all beings depend on you and admire you. If you indulge in this, you will never be able to transcend yourself again."

The monk in the light curtain was seduced by the illusion, and eventually his eyes became empty. He was consumed by the desire for control and fell into the abyss.

Lu Tianze said coldly, "The admiration and faith of all living beings are the most terrible poison to a cultivator's Dao heart. If you cannot let go of this obsession, the judgment of the Heavenly Dao will turn into thunder and strike you down from the nine heavens."

There was a small gasp from the audience, but Shen Tianshu snorted softly:

"Controlling the world is just a by-product of the path of cultivation. As long as your heart is firm in the Tao, what does the calamity of the world matter?"

Xiang Fan wrote in his notebook, "Control the world? This stage sounds great, why give it up?"

At this time, Lu Tianze said: "The core of the Supreme Forgetfulness Heart Method is to teach you to let go of your desire for power and control.

When overcoming tribulations, only by facing all living beings with a non-action mentality can one dispel the judgment of the thunder of heaven."

An ancient book appeared on the light curtain, emitting a faint light. The name on the book was "The Art of Destroying the Heart with Power".

Lu Tianze explained, "Through this Heart Sutra, you can gradually abandon your desire to interfere with the outside world and learn to face everything with a peaceful mindset. Only by having no desires and no demands can you be fearless of the judgment of heaven."

Having said this, Lu Tianze slowly withdrew his spiritual energy, and the light curtain dissipated. He swept his deep eyes over the people in the audience.

He said in a deep voice: "Remember, the inner demon is not scary, what is scary is that you don't know how to let go.

The path of cultivation is long, and every breakthrough in one’s obsession is a transformation.”

The disciples below the stage were lost in thought, some seemed to have realized something, while others looked confused.

Xiang Fan took advantage of Lu Tianze's inattention and whispered to Chu Yang, "Don't you feel that the more you cultivate, the more you become like a salted fish without any emotions?"

Chu Yang nodded seriously: "Yes, with this kind of cultivation, what is left in the end? You're almost losing your life."

Xiang Fan lowered his head and wrote: "The true meaning of cultivating immortality is to pretend to be a salty fish."

As Lu Tianze waved his sleeves, an endless void appeared on the light curtain. In the void, only a cultivator was floating alone.

There were no stars or wind around, and even the spiritual energy seemed so weak that it was almost non-existent.

"Surviving the tribulation and ascending to heaven is the ultimate test of cultivation—the heartless tribulation."

Lu Tianze's voice was deep and powerful, like a heavy hammer striking the hearts of every disciple.
