Large ships sail around the islands of the world's outer seas, nomadic tribes roam above the oceans, and high tower cities stand between heaven and earth. Roaring blood-silver engines, exquisit...
Chen Jing asked curiously, "What is the meaning of 'reason' in the sky?"
The expert replied:
"Heaven, Earth, Man. Man dwells in the middle. In terms of the divine self, the id, and the evil self, Heaven corresponds to the divine self, Earth corresponds to the evil self, and the human nature that dwells in the middle is the id, the true self, and the ego."
"The reason of Heaven is the reason of God. If the reason of God does not consider the ego at all, it will evolve into absolute selfishness. It will do whatever is beneficial to itself and eliminate whatever is harmful to itself, even if it is only a possibility, a trend or a probability."
Chen Jing remained silent, which indeed confirmed his guess.
It is because Chen Jing's divine self has a problem that he is so easily influenced by the will of Heaven. The degree of influence is so severe that Chen Jing looks like a superhuman with extraordinary abilities in the physical realm!
The experts looked at Chen Jing, who was wearing Tianxin:
"If you cannot control yourself and are controlled by the magical artifact when using it, then you will become a slave to the magical artifact."
Chen Jing asked, "Become a slave to the Dao? Isn't that a case of going astray in cultivation?"
The expert rarely smiled:
"Do you think only magical artifacts can affect you and make you unlike yourself? Do you even know the true nature of magical artifacts?"
"The essence of a spiritual artifact is an object that carries spiritual energy! What truly influences and changes you is not the artifact itself, but the spiritual energy contained within it."
"It's not just the Qi of Heaven that affects a person; every spiritual energy has it, including the Dao Qi that you've acquired."
As Chen Jing listened, cold sweat broke out on his back.
If a magical artifact causes someone to become a slave to the Dao, then it's easy to solve; just leave the artifact aside.
But what about the spiritual energy absorbed? Can it be expelled to the side so that it doesn't affect oneself?
Seeing Chen Jing's expression, the expert finally found an opportunity:
"That's why we need to master spiritual energy, and that's why we need to find the right methods. Every spiritual energy has its own temperament. Find out what its temperament is, either coax it or adapt to it. That's the process of cultivation."
“The influence of spiritual energy on people is unavoidable and cannot be completely eliminated. But you must be careful, the inability to completely avoid it does not mean that you should not try to avoid it, nor does it mean that you should completely surrender to spiritual energy and become a slave to the Tao. Cultivators are the masters of spiritual energy, not its carriers or tools.”
"Most importantly, always remember who you truly are and what you are like. Put aside the individual spiritual methods, this is the common essence of cultivating the mind and practicing spirituality."
Chen Jing nodded, feeling that he had gained a deeper understanding of the essence of cultivation.
Chen Jing then asked, "Master, I have some ideas about the cultivation method of Dao Qi..."
