"The theories handed down to this day in the world of immortal cultivation are complex and diverse, but the Supreme Forgetfulness Heart Method is the core concept of the traditional school of my Lingxiao Sect."
Lu Tianze's voice was deep and powerful, and his eyes were as sharp as torches as he scanned the disciples below the stage.
His eyes stayed on Shen Tianshu for a moment, and the latter immediately straightened his back, his face full of confidence.
It seems as if the honor of being the "elite disciple of the traditional school" is already hanging high above his head.
"The so-called 'forgetting emotions' does not mean abandoning emotions, but sublimating obsessions." Lu Tianze said calmly.
Yet, with a hint of unquestionable majesty, he said, "Only by facing the tribulations of cultivation with a clear mind can you go further."
Shen Tianshu nodded slightly, as if he had completely comprehended this mental method.
Xiang Fan, who was standing in the back row of the crowd, lowered his head and tried hard to take notes. The small notebook in his hand was filled with Lu Tianze's explanation.
He secretly complained in his heart: "What kind of profound theory is this? As soon as he opened his mouth, he was talking about giving up and forgetting emotions. Is cultivating immortality really so extreme?"
Lu Tianze ignored the reactions of the crowd and continued to wave his hands to mobilize spiritual energy. A pastoral countryside scene appeared on the screen.
The sounds of roosters crowing, dogs barking, and smoke curling up from cooking fires fill the air with a worldly atmosphere.
"When you advance from Qi training to foundation building, the first calamity is the mundane calamity." Lu Tianze's voice was calm and slow.
“You have not yet broken free from your mortal attachments, and you will miss family, friendship, and even yearn for a comfortable life.
But the path to becoming an immortal goes against the will of heaven. If you don’t let go of these obsessions, you won’t be able to truly embark on the path of cultivation.”
"Sever ties with the world." Lu Tianze whispered these three words, each word like a knife, piercing the ears of every disciple.
"The first step in the Supreme Forgetfulness Heart Method is to let go of the mundane. Through meditation and self-cultivation, you can gradually free your heart from the shackles of the mundane. If you cannot do this, your path of cultivation ends here."
Some disciples in the audience murmured, "Severing ties with the mortal world? That's too extreme! I haven't had enough of my mother's pancakes yet."
Shen Tianshu snorted: "A frog in the well, only by abandoning these things can you truly step into the great way!"
The light screen changed again, and the rural scene turned into a pair of monks walking side by side. The emotion in the picture was obvious.
"To build a foundation and advance to the Golden Core stage, one must face the calamity of the mortal world." Lu Tianze's voice was low.
A complex emotion seemed to flash across his eyes, "Love, friendship, and even family affection will become the root cause of this disaster."
"Emotions are both a cultivator's strength and a shackle. If one cannot transform emotions into the driving force of cultivation,
On the contrary, if you indulge in it, the golden elixir will not be able to take shape."
"You must learn to 'love without clinging'. Love can make you more resolute,
But persistence will make you lose yourself." Lu Tianze's gaze lingered on Lu Qingli for a moment, as if hinting at something.
Lu Qingli lowered his head in thought, as if he had realized something. And Shen Tianshu secretly swore in his heart:
"I, Chen Tianshu, am destined to be a dedicated Jindan cultivator. Any mortal tribulation is a piece of cake for me!"
Xiang Fan, however, wrote in his notebook, "Love without attachment. Who is he talking to? Is he giving a lecture to his daughter?"
The light curtain changed again, transforming into a cultivator standing in front of the phantom, facing his other half, and scenes from the past kept emerging in the phantom.
"When a Jindan is promoted to Yuanying, it is a self-disaster." Lu Tianze's tone became even lower.
"This is the most difficult tribulation for a cultivator. You will face your own obsessions and past. If you cannot let go of your ego and transcend personal gains and losses, your Dao heart will forever remain at the level of the Golden Core."
When he said this, his eyes swept among the disciples below the stage and finally stopped at Xiang Fan.
He said with a half-smile, "Some people may seem to have no desires, but in fact their obsessions are deeper than anyone else's."
Xiang Fan was stunned, his heart skipping a beat. "He's not talking about me, is he? That's not right. How can I be so selfless? Besides, I haven't even passed the Qi training stage yet. It's a bit early to say that."
In the audience, Chu Yang yawned and grumbled quietly:
"What's this about inner demon tribulation? This isn't cultivation at all! It's even more complicated than the elders' annoying lessons!"
The light curtain finally turned into a scene of a group of monks fighting for treasures. The atmosphere was filled with murderous intent and extremely depressing.
"When the Nascent Soul is promoted to the Spiritual Transformation, it is a utilitarian calamity." Lu Tianze sighed lightly.
"Nascent Soul cultivators are often deeply caught up in the struggle for power, fame, and wealth. This obsession is the biggest obstacle on the path to Divine Transformation."
"At this stage, the Supreme Forgetfulness Heart Method requires the cultivator to completely block out external temptations and focus on inner cultivation.
Only by reaching the state of 'doing nothing and yet doing something' can one truly enter the state of spiritual transformation."
Having said this, Lu Tianze slowly withdrew his spiritual energy, and the light curtain dissipated. His voice was filled with a hint of warning:
"The path of cultivation is never smooth sailing. The inner demons are not to be feared; what is to be feared is not understanding one's own heart."
He finally scanned the entire room, his gaze lingering on Xiang Fan for a moment, his tone slightly profound:
“Everyone’s spiritual path is different. The key is to find your own direction.”
Xiang Fan lowered his head in a daze, his thoughts complicated. His mind was full of words like "love but not cling" and "do nothing and yet act", which made his scalp tingle.
Chu Yang couldn't help but grumble quietly, "This 'Forgetting Love' method is even harder than practicing cultivation! I feel like I'll be gone by the end."
Lu Qingli fell into deep thought, Shen Tianshu looked confident, and Xiang Fan silently lowered his head and wrote down the last line:
"Cultivating immortals sounds cool, but why is it so outrageous when it comes to actually doing it?"
