Chapter 38 The Secret of Ascension
The upper dantian is a very mysterious place in the human body, which is related to the soul.
The spirit and soul are the key to whether one can become an immortal.
Many people believe that immortals are celestial beings without physical bodies.
Some people also believe that immortals only have souls.
Cultivators in the human world, including the demon race, usually cultivate their bodies and energy when they practice. Humans cultivate their spiritual power, while demons cultivate their demonic power.
But when one reaches the Mahayana stage and the realm of demon spirit, after the spiritual power and demon power fill the body, is the next step to ascend?
No, this is far from meeting the conditions for ascension.
Bai Suzhen is just like this.
In fact, she had already cultivated to the limit of her body, but had never been able to reach the threshold of ascension, which made her anxious. Later, she heard that if she devoted herself to the Tao and asked Guanyin Bodhisattva for guidance on ascension, she went to ask.
But now that she has understood the situation of Buddhism and Taoism, she is a little confused. Is she converting to Buddhism? Is this a bad idea?
In fact, Guanyin Bodhisattva was not wrong. After turning to Buddhism, she would accumulate a lot of merits during this period because of repaying her gratitude. The merits would shape her soul. When her soul was strong enough to be at the same level as her body, she would be able to touch the threshold of ascension.
But the real way to ascend is actually related to the upper dantian.
Only when the spirit and soul become strong to a certain level can the upper dantian be discovered and thus opened up.
The upper dantian is connected to the lower dantian, which leads to the heavenly secret, thereby drawing in the immortal energy to cleanse the body, and then ascending into the sky.
But now, the mental method that Long Pinxuan guided her to practice had a direct path to the upper dantian.
Since the demonic power in her lower dantian is already full, it is natural for her to open up the upper dantian.
This mental method skips the step of strengthening the soul and spirit, and directly opens up the upper dantian, using the mental method to connect the channel between the soul and the body, allowing the soul to become strong through cultivation, rather than just relying on merits.
In this way, one only needs to cultivate this mental method to strengthen the spirit and soul, allowing it to reach the same level as the body, allowing the upper dantian to be filled to the same level as the lower dantian, and then open up the way to heaven, receive the immortal energy, and ascend into the sky.
One advantage of this is the level you will get after ascension.
Generally speaking, for immortals who ascend to heaven through merit, although their upper dantian is opened, their upper dantian is not full because they ascend to heaven by connecting the upper dantian with the lower dantian.
Therefore, in the fairy world, one needs to cultivate and fill the upper dantian first, and this process is to advance from level 1~2 little fairy to level 3~4 fairy boy, and then to level 5 fairy.
After ascending through this mental method, the upper dantian will be full, so naturally one will directly become a level 5 immortal.
The percentage of Xiaoxian and Xiantong is calculated based on the proportion of the upper Dantian being full. 20% is a level 1 Xiaoxian, 40% is a level 2 Xiaoxian, 60% is a level 3 Xiantong, 80% is a level 4 Xiantong, and 100% can be promoted to a level 5 Xianren or Fairy.
Long Pinxuan guided Bai Suzhen to practice this kind of mental method, which means that once Bai Suzhen ascends to heaven, she will become a fairy directly.
And having abandoned the demonic power that was contaminated by the Buddha's power, he is now moving forward under the guidance of Bai Suzhen and following the guiding energy of Long Pinxuan.
Those were connections she had never explored before! Some of them she couldn't even name!
The key point is that after passing a place, Bai Suzhen's body shook, as if a new world had been opened up.
This is... another Dantian?
Long Pinxuan said calmly, "The upper Dantian has been opened, and the exercises can be performed without passing through the lower Dantian!"
"What you need to do now is to complete a cycle of the upper dantian first, cleanse the meridians and marrow, and then use the mental method of the upper dantian to slowly consume the remaining Buddhist seed in the lower dantian. Only then will you understand the consequences and be able to truly perform the great cycle of the upper and lower dantians in series."
"After your Buddhist seeds are worn away, I will teach you the Great Circulation of this Heart Method!"
Long Pinxuan was not in a hurry either, as he naturally understood Bai Suzhen's peculiarity.
If she wants to advance her cultivation to a higher level, she must first resolve her key factors.
Bai Suzhen felt relieved. She knew everything about the upper dantian because Lishan Laomu had told her about it in her early years. Now, comparing it with what the dean said, she suddenly became enlightened.
I feel even happier following the guided energy!
She made the right choice to join Westlake College!
A few hours later, Bai Suzhen's upper body was glowing and transparent. She felt that her mind was becoming clearer, and many things that she hadn't figured out became vague. She was able to control the demonic power in her body more flexibly.
Just then, a voice reached her ears.
"Don't stop, continue practicing the upper Dantian mental method, you need to cleanse your meridians and marrow!"
Bai Suzhen had just completed a small circulation of energy in the upper dantian, and the guided energy had already withdrawn. Now, hearing the dean's instructions, he naturally started the next small circulation of energy in the upper dantian.
Every time she performed the small circulation in the upper dantian, the demonic power in her body, especially the demonic power imbued with Buddha's power, would slowly recover its purity.
Sweat gradually appeared on her body.
The sweat was actually golden black.
The black one is naturally impurities, while the golden one is the power of Buddha.
Long Pinxuan watched as impurities were being eliminated from her body and nodded with some satisfaction.
"The energy of the Buddhist seed is very strong, so you need to get used to the operation mode of the upper dantian small circle every day, and try to operate the small circle in this way even in your sleep."
Long Pinxuan's warning gave Bai Suzhen a shock.
Because there are limits to cleansing the meridians and marrow, she had almost cleansed her body after running three small cycles. Of course, this is definitely not as long and effective as the cleansing of the meridians and marrow after becoming a real immortal. But it is still cleansing the meridians and marrow!
And because of this, she almost thought of temporarily stopping the circulation of the small circulation.
But after hearing Long Pinxuan's advice, she still did it a few more times.
During the operation, Bai Suzhen began to focus on a new key point.
The operation of the small circulation in the upper dantian can cleanse all the contaminated Buddha power in the body.
In the beginning, because there were many contaminated areas, the Buddha's power was washed away in large quantities, so it was removed very quickly.
But later, Bai Suzhen discovered that as more and more demonic power was cleansed, the speed at which the Buddhist seeds were contaminated was not as fast as she could remove it, and each time the Buddhist seeds were contaminated, they would lose some energy.
This means that Bai Suzhen will get rid of the Buddhist seeds sooner or later, it's just a matter of time.
Long Pinxuan touched his chin with satisfaction. Although this system did not give him many abilities, the abilities it gave were super useful!
As long as Bai Suzhen ascends, he will be the first immortal-level strongman in his West Lake Academy!
The key is that they are still students!
