Chapter 150: Aunt Zhang's Preaching (Part 3)
However, reaching the Awakening Realm isn't achieved overnight. During one training session, Lin Feng's excessive pursuit of spiritual energy led to a backlash, severely injuring his body. But this setback didn't make him give up; instead, it made him more cautious and composed.
During the period of recuperation, Lin Feng reflected on his own cultivation methods and re-examined his inner self.
He understood that cultivation was not just about pursuing the improvement of strength, but also about transcending and sublimating oneself.
When his injuries healed and he embarked on the path of cultivation again, his mentality had undergone a huge change.
Lin Feng no longer rushed for success, but instead took one step at a time, moving forward steadily. He paid attention to every detail and carefully felt the fusion of spiritual energy with his own body.
In the process, he discovered many subtleties that he had never noticed before, and his understanding of psychic power reached a new level.
Finally, after a long period of hard work and persistence, Lin Feng achieved remarkable success in the awakening realm and reached a high level.
Not only can he use psychic power freely, but he can also combine psychic power with his own martial arts to unleash even more powerful power.
But he knows that this is just a small milestone on his path of cultivation, and there are still more challenges and opportunities waiting for him to explore and meet in the future."
Aunt Zhang paused, looked at Lin Sinan and said, "Little Lin, Lin Feng's story is over. What are your thoughts?"
Lin Sinan took a while to come back to his senses, and couldn't help but sigh: "This practice is too difficult. This is still the first stage, which is relatively easy!"
Aunt Zhang also sighed, "Yes, so many people have been stuck at this level. Of those who are determined to practice, only one in ten thousand can pass this level. Talent, hard work, opportunity, and luck are all indispensable!"
The fact that I, an old woman, have the good fortune to reach this realm is an opportunity that I have gained through accumulating virtue and doing good deeds for several lifetimes.
Lin Sinan nodded and continued, "Then Aunt Zhang, why don't you ask about the Insight Realm and see how it differs from the traditional Foundation Establishment Stage? Also, what are the cultivation methods and the signs of reaching that realm?"
Aunt Zhang was about to agree when she suddenly came to her senses and scolded her with a smile, "You little Linzi, I was trying to answer your question out of kindness, but you actually tried to trick me!"
Lin Sinan smiled and said, "Aunt Zhang, we've known each other for so long and have even experienced life and death together. How could I not know what you're capable of? Although these are basics, they're not something a beginner like you could possibly understand. But I'm still very grateful to you for finding someone to help me solve my doubts!"
Aunt Zhang quickly waved her hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense. These are just my own random thoughts. I just told you casually. Just take it as a reference and understand it."
Lin Sinan nodded, "Yeah, I understand! I was just listening to Aunt Zhang's stories!"
Aunt Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm glad you understand. Let me ask you something. Well, no, I'm going to explain the Insight Realm to you. Listen carefully!"
Aunt Zhang paused as usual and slowly continued, "The Insight Realm we cultivate is also the second stage of our cultivation system. This stage usually begins with a preliminary process of mastering and utilizing special energy (psychic energy). Because we have just passed the awakening period, even if there is psychic energy in the body, it is very small, and it may not even be perceived in the first three levels.
Aunt Zhang thought for a moment and said, "It's unheard of for someone like you to possess such vast spiritual energy, yet not seem to have awakened it yet. You can ask your guide for advice later!"
Aunt Zhang continued, “In terms of characteristics, practitioners in the Insight Realm may already be able to perceive and mobilize a certain amount of spiritual energy, but this perception is still relatively basic and preliminary.
Their control and understanding of psychic powers may not be sophisticated and deep enough.
Practitioners at the Insight Realm may possess some special abilities or skills, but the power and effects of these abilities are relatively limited."
“In terms of cultivation methods, practitioners at the Insight Realm may focus on accumulating and improving spiritual energy through specific exercises, mental methods, or cultivation techniques.
They may need to constantly hone their willpower and mental strength to better control psychic powers.
The practice at this stage may focus more on the perception and familiarity with psychic energy, as well as enhancing one's compatibility with psychic energy through some basic practice methods.
Perhaps some special meditation or training rituals are needed to improve the gathering and utilization efficiency of spiritual energy."
“In terms of cultivation environment, practitioners at the Insight Realm may be more inclined to seek out places with more active natural energy.
These places may be beautiful places between mountains and rivers, containing relatively rich natural spiritual energy, or some special earth vein nodes where the flow of spiritual energy is relatively active.
However, their requirements for the training environment are not particularly stringent, because at this time their own ability to control spiritual energy is still relatively weak, and an overly strong spiritual environment may actually cause them to have an impact."
The practice of the Insight Realm focuses on accumulating and improving spiritual energy through specific exercises, mental methods, or techniques.
Practitioners need to constantly hone their willpower and mental strength to enhance their compatibility with psychic energy and their ability to perceive it.
They may practice some basic meditation and breathing exercises, trying to guide the surrounding spiritual energy into their bodies, and gradually become familiar with and master the flow and use of spiritual energy.
Aunt Zhang paused for a moment and continued, “The foundation-building stage you mentioned is also the second stage of another system, but it is a more critical and important stage in the immortal cultivation system.
Its characteristic is that the practitioner has established a relatively solid foundation in the body.
During the foundation-building stage, a solid foundation will be condensed in the practitioner's dantian, which lays a solid foundation for subsequent more powerful practice.
Their ability to control and utilize spiritual energy has been qualitatively improved. They can use spiritual energy to cast spells and skills more freely, and the power and effect of the spells are more significant.
Practitioners in the foundation-building stage usually have stronger physical fitness and vitality, and can withstand stronger external pressure and damage.
In terms of cultivation methods, the foundation-building stage requires practitioners to put in more effort and time.
Not only do they need to continue to accumulate spiritual energy, they also need to constantly compress and refine the spiritual energy so that it can condense into a more stable form in the dantian.
This may require the practitioner to practice in seclusion for a long time in order to achieve a high degree of concentration of spiritual energy.
In addition, practitioners in the foundation-building stage may also need to face various mental tests and tribulations to hone their own character and will.
"They may need to comprehend deeper Dao and principles during their practice to further enhance their cultivation. They also need to be more cautious and focused in choosing and practicing the exercises to ensure they are on the right track."
