Chapter 83: Willingly sinking into depravity
Chi Yu's happiness didn't last long, because he found out that Senior Brother Xuan Ji was unwilling to enter the heart of the spiritual realm.
Because of the huge gap, Chi Yu was still able to stay awake and asked with some confusion: "Senior Brother Xuanji, why don't you come in?"
Xie Xiyi: "This is enough."
Chi Yu felt that the spiritual realm was filled with golden spiritual consciousness, and his own transparent spiritual consciousness began to be expanded into the faint golden light fragments - this was of course very comfortable, but the threshold had changed, and Chi Yu could not help feeling a little lost.
He couldn't help but say, "Senior Brother Xuanji..."
Xie Xiyi said, "The cultivation of spiritual consciousness must be combined with a mental method. I will recite a passage of mental method, please listen carefully."
Chi Yu: “Hmm?”
"As for the rule, one foot is the energy illuminated by the sun, which belongs to the sky. Two feet is the energy generated by things, which belongs to the middle and the harmony... [1]" Xie Xiyi recited while using his spiritual consciousness to guide Chi Yu to internalize the spiritual rhythm.
Chi Yu followed suit in a daze. As his mind flowed, the golden spiritual energy transformed into a ball of clear air, which not only nourished his spiritual realm, but also nourished his tendons and veins.
Chi Yu couldn't help but ask, "Brother Xuanji, why didn't you have the Heart Method before?"
Xie Xiyi did not answer——
How could he answer this? He only found out about it half a month ago.
Under the restraint of the mind method, Chi Yu's experience of enjoyment was greatly reduced, but the feeling of his spiritual state and tendons getting better made Chi Yu remember the fundamental purpose of spiritual cultivation.
When it comes to spiritual cultivation, the emphasis is naturally on cultivation.
Chi Yu couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. Although he spoke seriously, he was the only one who knew that he had actually put the cart before the horse.
Chi Yu didn't feel comfortable asking Brother Xuan Ji to go in again. He knew nothing about spiritual cultivation. Since Brother Xuan Ji didn't want to go in, he must have his reasons - he knew that when the water is full, it will overflow, and when the moon is full, it will wane.
It was all for his own good, but he only thought about having fun, which was really wrong.
Chi Yu suppressed his desire in his heart.
In one night, with the help of his mental method, Chi Yu internalized all the golden spiritual energy that had been left in his consciousness. His consciousness rose to a higher level and reached the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage. If it weren't for the suppression of the secret realm, he should have been able to reach the great perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage!
Chi Yu was shocked. He couldn't help but ask again, "Brother Xuanji, why didn't you use the mental method before? A lot of spiritual energy was wasted before."
Chi Yu has always known that the spiritual aura given to him by Senior Brother Xuan Ji is beneficial to his spiritual consciousness, but except for the spiritual aura that directly enters the heart of the spiritual realm, most of the golden fragments of spiritual aura that are contaminated in other spiritual consciousnesses will be wasted.
Xie Xiyi replied, "Now is the time."
His vague statement did not arouse Chi Yu's suspicion. He nodded in confusion, "I see."
He didn't ask what the timing was, he just accepted it naturally.
Then, Xie Xiyi quickly said, "As for spiritual consciousness cultivation, my cultivation level is only at the Golden Core stage, so it is difficult for me to be of any benefit to your spiritual consciousness."
Chi Yu was stunned, opened his mouth, and said "Oh" with some disappointment.
He was still lying obediently in the depths of the bed, his wide robes rubbed open, revealing a large expanse of white skin above his collarbone. Under the light and shadow, it took on the glaze-like texture of finest porcelain. A deep crimson blush oozes from his skin on his face, white as snow. A faint sweetness permeates the air beneath the steam.
Xie Xiyi felt that there was probably something wrong with his sense of smell, otherwise why could he smell the sweetness of peaches?
The itching between his teeth resurfaced. He stared at Chi Yu and slowly extended his hand toward her.
Before she even touched his face, Chi Yu took the lead and reached out her hand, holding his. Looking at his eyes, which were still covered with a thin layer of water, the water shimmered brightly, her voice became a little hoarse, "Senior Brother Xuan Ji."
Sometimes he called Senior Brother Xuan Ji, not because of any specific meaning, but as if he just wanted Senior Brother Xuan Ji to look at him - a very childish way of attracting attention.
But Xie Xiyi really liked it. He liked Chi Yu calling him that.
Xie Xiyi's gaze fell on their clasped hands, and for the first time in his life, a trace of sadness crossed his face.
As a genius who was early on designated as the future disciple of the Anuttara Buddhist sect, in addition to the prophecy that was recognized by all the venerable Anuttara Buddhist sect, he was naturally extremely talented in Buddhism.
He has a natural advantage in the nature of emptiness.
He was born without much curiosity. Although he looked gentle on the outside (due to practicing the Xie family's cultivation method), he was actually cold on the inside. He was indifferent to emptiness and nothingness, and thus lacked many causes and conditions.
Those who are free from the entanglement of karma and conditions are the most suitable for practicing Buddhism. Without the combination of karma and conditions, there will be less karma and less inner demons, and the mind will be clear. One is permanent, the other is impermanent. The Buddha nature is neither permanent nor impermanent, so it is continuous and is called non-duality. One is good, the other is not good. The Buddha nature is neither good nor not good, so it is called non-duality. [2]
This is his advantage in practicing internal methods. He is in an extremely subtle and balanced state, so he can practice the Anuttara method at an incredibly fast speed.
This is a natural state that is difficult for others to achieve, but he was born with it.
But after observing the emotional connection, he can also observe the disadvantages brought by the emotional connection -
Where there is love, there is desire.
Desire is the desire to obtain, to possess, and even to possess forever, which breeds greed.
The poison of greed will gradually spread into the five poisonous hearts: greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance, and doubt.
This is the fundamental reason why his cultivation level is rapidly declining.
Even if he entered deep meditation, the greed brought about by the emotional ties that were revealed would turn his meditation into an evil meditation, and his state of mind would decline even faster.
Love is an evil poison and the source of all evil. Xie Xiyi once again deeply realized this fact.
But he couldn't help it. Whenever he saw Chi Yu, he felt happy.
He asked softly again: "Chi Yu, do you want to be with me forever?"
The speed at which his realm fell was so rapid that even his natural realm was tainted by the poison of love.
As long as Chi Yu gave him a satisfactory answer, he could still switch to external cultivation.
Chi Yu blinked and replied naturally, "Yes!"
Xie Xiyi looked at him and whispered, "You are lying."
Chi Yu: “Ah?”
Xie Xiyi said: "The road in your mind can only accommodate you alone."
He paused and said calmly, "Chi Yu, you have a strong character. If you have the chance to go home, you will leave alone. You will not stay for anyone."
"..." Chi Yu said, "Brother Xuanji, that will at least happen after you ascend to the immortal realm. Ascension... you have great talent, so perhaps you'll ascend to the immortal realm in a thousand years. By then, I might still be in the Nascent Soul stage, with no end in sight. This is an objective fact, Brother Xuanji, you have to take it into consideration."
Xie Xiyi said: "I can wait for you."
Chi Yu's pupils trembled, "Wait for me?"
Xie Xiyi said: "When your tribulation period is over, we will ascend to the immortal world together."
Chi Yu: "..."
He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment—
It feels like a top student who has passed the college entrance examination repeats his grade again and again in order to get into the same school as his friend until his friend is able to get into the same university as him.
Chi Yu couldn't help but sit up. He realized that this problem had to be solved, otherwise Senior Brother Xuan Ji would always have a knot in his heart.
At the same time, Chi Yu was puzzled as to why Senior Brother Xuan Ji had such an idea?
"Brother Xuanji, I don't think something's right." Chi Yu held his forehead. "We're all in our teens and twenties now. Why are you thinking so far into the future?"
His tone became serious. "Ascending to the heavens is a very, very distant thing. Even for Senior Brother Xuanji, it would take at least a thousand years. A thousand years, maybe five hundred years, and you'd be tired of me."
"I can't." Xie Xiyi said calmly.
"Many times, people can't even empathize with themselves from the day before. It's impossible to say for sure what happened hundreds or thousands of years ago, Senior Brother Xuanji." Chi Yu smiled at Xie Xiyi and reached out to hug him. "Senior Brother Xuanji, please stop thinking about this, okay? Enjoy the present. At least I'm with you now, and we won't be apart."
Xie Xiyi said calmly: "I understand."
Chi Yu stepped back a little, tilted his head slightly and looked at him, "Brother Xuan Ji, what do you know?"
Xie Xiyi said: "You are right."
His golden eyes reflected Chi Yu's beautiful face, which still had a bright smile on it. He raised the corners of his lips and laughed, saying, "Just treat what I said just now as a joke."
His words made Chi Yu a little uneasy, "Senior Brother Xuanji?"
Xie Xiyi said: "Rest."
He took a few steps back and got out of bed.
Chi Yu said, "Senior Brother Xuan Ji, this is your room."
Xie Xiyi said, "I'm going out for a walk."
After he said that, he walked out alone.
The magical powers he cultivated also declined to varying degrees because of the poison of love.
His most important magical power to break delusion also appeared and disappeared intermittently, and he was afraid that he would not be able to use it soon.
The added gift of inner cultivation gave him combat power far beyond his outer cultivation, and he could even fight against Raven in the Nascent Soul stage - and there was a high probability that he would win.
If his inner cultivation skills dissipated, he would only have the outer cultivation skills of the sixth level of the Golden Core Realm to use.
Xie Xiyi was not sincere in practicing Buddhism, so there was nothing wrong with giving it up in order to form a covenant.
But the world doesn't revolve around him.
If Chi Yu doesn't want to, he won't force him.
Xie Xiyi was also unwilling to express his feelings. Chi Yu was still ignorant, and if he knew, it would only add a lot of variables.
However, Xie Xiyi never knew that love could cause such pain.
He thought of the female demon - he had only found her ridiculous and confusing at the time, but now, as his mind reflected on her, he felt a hint of pain.
Loved ones will separate, enemies will meet, what you desire will not be obtained, and ultimately the five elements will burn fiercely.
*
The next day, Chi Yu woke up.
He subconsciously went to find Xie Xiyi first.
Xie Xiyi was already as usual. Seeing him, he smiled at him and said, "You got up late."
Chi Yu glanced at his smiling face, relaxed all over, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Xuan Ji, I didn't sleep, I was practicing hard."
Xie Xiyi said: "The spiritual energy in this secret realm is thin, and cultivation will be twice as effective for half the result."
Chi Yu said, "That's true, but we've basically confirmed that Xue Yi is the key to this secret realm."
Xie Xiyi: "We?"
Chi Yu laughed and said, "It's just me, Senior Brother Lianchi, Xiaoqiu, and Wu Yunsu, the four of us."
Xie Xiyi said calmly: "Oh."
Chi Yu sat down next to him and asked, "Brother Xuan Ji, are you going with us today?"
Xie Xiyi said: "No."
Chi Yu reached out and tugged at his sleeve, shaking it gently. "Brother Xuan Ji, let's go together."
Xie Xiyi didn't look at him, "I have something to do."
Chi Yu asked, "What do you want?"
Xie Xiyi said, "There's a study on West Street. I'll go take a look."
He curled his lips, "You're doing well. I can feel the connection between this secret realm and you is strengthening. I will not participate."
Chi Yu said, "But Senior Brother Lianchi also participated."
Xie Xiyi said: "The secret realm will not be interested in him, but it is likely to be interested in me."
Chi Yu: "..."
He couldn't help but laugh, "In that case, wouldn't it be Senior Brother Xuanji, you're giving me a chance?"
Xie Xiyi said slowly: "Anyway, do your best. See you tonight."
He said, and stood up to leave. Chi Yu couldn't help but pull his sleeve, "Senior Brother Xuan Ji..."
Xie Xiyi tilted his head slightly and looked down at him, "What's wrong?"
Chi Yu loosened his sleeves, curled the corners of his lips and smiled: "Nothing, Brother Xuanji, you go early and come back early, I will come back early to accompany you today."
Xie Xiyi's eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly and coldly: "No need."
Chi Yu said, "Yes, we haven't had a good conversation in half a month."
Xie Xiyi curled his lips and asked, "Doesn't yesterday count?"
Chi Yu blushed slightly and said, "That doesn't count."
He said frankly, directly and passionately, "I want to be with Senior Brother Xuan Ji every day."
Xie Xiyi looked at his clear eyes that were full of dependence and trust. His heart was beating violently, and his consciousness was connected with his own. He knew that what Chi Yu said at this moment was extremely sincere. Regardless of his state of mind, at this moment, he really wanted to be with him.
Xie Xiyi naturally thought: Then be his wife.
The relationship between father and son, brothers, friends, and casual acquaintances may all be severed or split.
But husband and wife are forever one.
Only when you become his wife can you be together every day.
Being his wife, she would hold him tightly in her arms.
The threads of love flicker, reflecting the beating of the devil's heart.
Xie Xiyi woke up instantly. He suppressed his evil heart and at the same time, suppressed his scattered associations.
He raised the corners of his lips and said nonchalantly, "I'll be back soon."
Even though Xie Xiyi was plagued by the poison of love every moment he was with Chi Yu, he could also feel pure joy.
Love is so difficult and yet so sweet.
That's all it is to sink soberly.
