Chapter 1009: Using both modern and ancient methods
After the mystic left, Chen Chuan walked two steps in the cave, pondering the methods he left behind.
In fact, the concept of "Connecting the Sky Bridge" originally originated from Xuanjiao. Various schools of thought in the world are more or less influenced by past traditional teachings. For example, the exercises provided by Wansong Company actually contain some elements of Xuanjiao and even Zen Buddhism.
Originally, if he could use the original method of "Taibai Jingguan" as a reference, he could actually modify it to make the method more suitable for him.
However, Teacher Xue had told him long ago that the complete Taibai realm was long gone, and even if the original was found, people without guidance might not be able to understand it.
Because religious secrets, to prevent outsiders from prying eyes and to highlight their own mystique, often use a lot of obscure religious code words and mix in a lot of things other than cultivation techniques. It is said that due to different interpretations and understandings, many branches have spawned. This is the case even among the Xuanjiao people themselves, let alone outsiders.
The technique this mystic had given was quite different. It contained virtually no hidden secrets, focusing solely on the steps involved in cultivation. It explained exactly what to do and what to expect at each stage. It focused on the most crucial points, clearly and distinctly explaining everything, with virtually all unnecessary or cumbersome details eliminated.
How should I put it? Just looking at this thing, even the flavor of Xuanjiao isn't that strong anymore.
He was not a member of the Xuanjiao sect, so he didn't know whether this was the magic formula of Taibai Realm, but as a fighter, he knew at a glance that this thing was in the same vein as the Lingming Fanzhao method he had practiced before.
Practicing according to the above method will indeed help you.
He thought about it.
In that case, let’s give it a try.
But there is one thing that needs attention. The method here is roughly divided into three stages. Although some of the specific steps can be slightly adjusted in his opinion, no matter which step, it needs to be completed in one go during practice. Not only does it take a long time, but it cannot be interrupted in the middle, and it is best not to try repeatedly to ensure success on one go.
In this case, he needs to make some preparations, because only sufficient energy can support long-term practice.
Fortunately, this is a place of integration, and these are the things we have the most.
After thinking it over, he called out to Chao Ming, walked out of the cave, came down from the top of the peak, and then began hunting around.
In the next three days, he hunted a large number of creatures from the Fusion Land. After eating them, he stored a large amount of nutritional energy in his alienated tissues. When he felt that he had enough, he returned to Jade Peak.
In order to ensure safety, he specially took out the key stone left by the protector You and carefully arranged a secret ceremony around the cave.
After everything looked fine, he asked Chao Ming to continue guarding the cave entrance, and he went to the stone bed and began the first stage of practice.
The first thing is self-adjustment, which is like a warm-up before a fight, and can better help oneself enter the subsequent state of practice.
The method Wan Song had given him also contained these, but there were differences between the two, mainly in their direction and emphasis. And since he was going to use the Xuanjiao method next, he would of course also use this method as a guide.
In fact, the older the method of cultivation, the better it is. There is no saying that the present method is inferior to the past. In the new era, there are many new methods. It just depends on whether it is more suitable for you.
He took a look at this technique and found that compared with Wan Song's technique, it focused more on external work. Some of its methods were more radical, which were ideas he had never encountered before. In particular, this technique did not completely regard the infection as something that must be rejected, but instead regarded it as an external elixir that could be used as a boost.
This makes sense. To a certain extent, infection can indeed speed up and enhance the speed and height of practitioners' absorption of external energy. This is because these infecting objects are also alive. While practitioners are absorbing energy, they are also invading practitioners. If they pose a threat to practitioners right from the start, they will be repelled immediately and their purpose will not be achieved.
Therefore, the infecting things often first provide help and benefits to the practitioners, making them happy to accept them at the beginning. Even if they know there are problems, they are reluctant to reject them. However, by the time they discover that there are real problems, they have already been integrated into the practitioners. By then, it is too late and there is no way to solve it.
However, the Xuanjiao method uses this point in reverse. I let you come in first and let you help me, and then I will use great perseverance to disinfect you when you are about to be overthrown. All of this needs to be maintained at all times and places during the entire practice process, so that the infection can continue to provide benefits to yourself.
This method is not easy to do. It is incredibly difficult. It requires the practitioner to have a talent that is one in a million, as well as a solid and unshakable foundation. This is because it is like running fast on a dangerous peak or cliff. If you are not careful, you will fall down. If you fail, you will not be able to complete the practice, and you will also be infected. It is not for ordinary people in any way.
The method given by Wansong Company seeks stability, repeatedly emphasizing that the infection must not be allowed to enter the body, thus eliminating this problem from the root. From this we can also see the idea of the person who compiled the method, which is to focus on ensuring that there are no problems for the practitioners. He himself may also know the effect of the infection, but he does not tell it, even if the practitioner may not be able to succeed in the end.
So when comparing the two, it is hard to say which one is better or worse. It just depends on what you need to ensure.
Chen Chuan felt that the Xuanjiao method was more suitable for him at the moment because he didn't have to worry about the problem of infection. He didn't know there was such a secret before, but now that he knew, of course he had to make use of it.
He can even be more radical, allowing more infection to come in, and then use the second self to bear it when it exceeds the limit.
In fact, at the point where he was at the moment, he was confident that he could accomplish this even without a second self.
Either relying on his skills or relying on his unprecedented foundation, he could just force his way through.
It's a bit of a pity that he doesn't have other methods, such as Zen teachings, otherwise he could get more references, but he just thought about it. In fact, these are enough for him to use, and there is no need to be greedy for more.
After his breath was completely adjusted and he was ready, he immediately picked up the Xuejun Sword. A flash of sword light chopped down, tearing a huge crack in the air. He put the sword aside and walked in.
He immersed himself in the light opposite him, his eyebrows flashed, and the spiritual image outside his body naturally emerged.
The spiritual phase was originally the main means of absorbing energy and was the intermediate bridge. Energy had to be guided and refined by the spiritual phase before it could be absorbed by the alienated tissue. However, the spiritual phase had its own upper limit for absorbing energy. If it was excessive, the spiritual phase would become unstable.
The Xuanjiao method believes that as long as the foundation is solid, you can actually let go, because as long as you accept the infection, the infection will naturally help you stabilize your spiritual state. In fact, these things are more urgent than you.
In this way, you can absorb energy from the outside that exceeds the normal limit.
He had read the previous theories and ideas and knew that this was indeed feasible, provided that he could hold on to it.
At this moment, he moved his mind, opened his spiritual form completely, and began to use the power of absorption without any scruples. In an instant, the energy of this world rushed in like a flood from which the floodgates were opened, continuously entering the spiritual form and sinking into his body.
This also caused the infections to follow, and at this moment it was as if a strong medicine had been taken, causing his eyes to suddenly emit a hint of light.
The spiritual image above was originally between reality and illusion, and suddenly became unstable under his reckless suction, swaying like mist. But after a while, just as described in the method, one could feel that the infection was actually going back upwards, barely stabilizing the spiritual image. For a moment, the spiritual image was flashing with various colors of light all over its body, and it looked extremely glorious.
Chen Chuanben planned to do this so that he would need to deal with these infections while starting to practice the Dharma.
But then he discovered an unexpected situation. Even without his deliberate control, the alienated tissue dissolved the infection on its own after coming into contact with it, and he didn't need to think too much about it.
This is……
He only took a quick glance and immediately understood.
This is the effect of the Great Blue Sky Style and the Great Bright Light Style.
The Purity School's method was best at dealing with these external contaminations and filth, and after he mastered the two methods, his body had the ability to purify itself. This meant that even if he didn't deliberately try to dissolve them, his body would spontaneously purify and expel those things that might affect his body.
And because this self-reaction will have a buffer, it does not prevent him from borrowing the power of infection, forming a perfect match and complement with this radical method of Xuanjiao, which is better than he originally thought.
This way, he could stop worrying about other things and give it his all. He then calmed his mind and slowly immersed himself in it.
It took him almost a month, from the end of February to mid-April, to successfully complete the first stage, and then he could proceed to the second stage.
This step is to use the foundation laid previously to quickly break through a certain height, then hold yourself on it, and then move down from here to pick up the rest.
The method provided by Wansong Company is to accumulate more with less, and pay more attention to gradual progress. It contains many very practical methods and explains many key points. These mysterious teachings are not mentioned in the past, and they were discovered and created after the arrival of the new era.
If the previous methods may have won by being strange and dangerous, then the current method wins by being precise and practical. It does not stand still, but is still improving and becoming more suitable for more people.
Chen Chuan thought about it and felt that he didn't need to be so radical at this stage. Others couldn't rush forward, so they had to do this. But he followed the steps and took one step at a time. On the contrary, Wansong's method could be used here better.
After thinking about it, he stood up, went down Jade Peak, spent a few days accumulating some nutrients, then returned to the mountain and began the next step of his practice.
