Chapter 346: I will take the place of heaven, sit and forget the way
As the sixth petal of the thirty-six-petal lotus opened, Gu Dan's soul seemed to have undergone some changes. His sea of consciousness began to surge without any wind, and his overflowing spiritual thoughts swept around like a hurricane.
At a distance of more than a hundred feet, all things appeared in his mind, penetrating and seeing every detail.
With just a glance, whether it was the dead leaves falling on the ground or the thatched grass swaying in the wind, he seemed to be able to directly "see" their most vulnerable points and even where the next swing would be.
Within the range of divine consciousness, he was like a god, seeing through everything.
This is an indescribable feeling. Under this vast clear sky, in this small space, he seems to have replaced the indescribable and unfathomable way of heaven and become the center of all things.
It was as if the life and death of all things were in his hands.
He was aware very clearly how perfect he was.
Every bone is as carefully forged and carved as white jade, every drop of blood is as crystal clear as a blood diamond, and every breath is like a giant dragon recuperating, long and lasting.
An intense vitality force enveloped his body at all times, circulating over and over again, flourishing and incomparable.
Only in the center of the dantian, the small green ball that had become much thinner still showed no clues.
Besides that, even he himself seemed to be able to be analyzed one by one by this huge divine consciousness.
This feeling is enough to make people intoxicated.
The same is true for Gu Dan.
Even if you do nothing, just looking down at the area of a hundred feet in radius from this supreme "perspective" will make you feel an indescribable fulfillment and joy, and everything seems to have become a part of you and constitute a part of you.
Within this hundred feet, he was God, an immortal, the sky, the earth, all things, the only one, the supreme one! This incomparably wonderful feeling made his spirit seem to be constantly sublimating, replacing the sky and becoming the one who controls the world.
But soon, a strong feeling of exhaustion gradually came over him, and the scope of his perception became smaller and smaller. Even everything that was originally clearly visible became gradually blurred.
It's like an extremely beautiful dream that is about to wake up.
"No!"
Gu Dan screamed and suddenly opened his eyes.
My head hurts so much!
His spiritual power was almost completely exhausted, and it felt like thousands of needles were piercing his brain. In his sea of consciousness, the spiritual power that had once caused a huge wave of shock had now disappeared without a trace.
Gu Dan completely withdrew from that dreamlike, beautiful and unreal state and returned to the most real world.
"Brother Kong?"
Along with a roar full of anger and dissatisfaction, Zhuang Sheng appeared in front of Gu Dan at an extremely fast speed, looking at him with some worry.
Gu Dan's condition was not very good some time ago, but he has gradually recovered in recent days. What happened today? Gu Dan's eyes gradually became clear. Although the feeling of exhausting his spiritual power in his mind was not good, this pain was nothing compared to the smelting of his five internal organs, and it was not unbearable.
What really made him roar in anger before was the unwillingness he felt as he gradually emerged from that extremely mysterious state.
Logically speaking, given Gu Dan's strong willpower, it wouldn't have gotten that intense.
But that feeling was so wonderful, so wonderful that it was simply irresistible, and there was no way of resisting it in the slightest.
If one wants to describe that feeling, only the words 'floating in the air' are more appropriate - but compared with the feeling of being almost in harmony with the universe, floating in the air is far inferior to it, even insignificant!
That feeling was as if he had already attained the Tao! Only the moment when he was suddenly immersed in the essence of Tao while watching Master Ji sprinting towards the innate state in the past could be comparable to the previous feeling, or even better!
The difference is that last time it was Gu Dan who was pulled, but this time, it was Gu Dan who spontaneously entered that indescribable state.
However, Gu Dan never expected that after such a long time, he would fall into the same thing twice, and he was not even aware of it when he was caught in it!
As the stabbing pain in his head gradually disappeared, a magical power related to the soul slowly emerged in Gu Dan's mind.
Its name is "White Lotus Dai Tian Fa", which is really a very domineering name.
But Gu Dan no longer had the energy to watch.
Gu Dan was extremely unhappy with the feeling of being lost and immersed in it.
But when I think back to that feeling, I actually feel a faint desire in my heart. I don't feel any resentment or fear, only reluctance.
Two completely different feelings, both coming from the same person, are contradictory yet compatible.
"What happened?"
Zhuang Sheng was particularly puzzled when he saw Gu Dan sweating profusely.
It was clearly calm here, nothing unusual.
If Gu Dan hadn't suddenly shouted, he wouldn't even have noticed anything.
But looking at Gu Dan's expression, it was clear that he had experienced something, which was really strange.
“Just now when I was practicing, my soul improved. As my soul improved, I suddenly fell into an extremely strange state.
In an instant, everything around me seemed to be under my control in a single thought. My mind was completely immersed in it, and I even lost the ability to "think" itself. I just kept immersed in that state.
But as my divine consciousness was exhausted, that feeling gradually began to crack, until it withdrew."
This time, Gu Dan told everything and there was nothing worth hiding.
This matter is too weird, and may even be related to the innate realm itself. After all, their perceptions of each other are so similar, except that one is huge and the other is tiny.
"oh?"
Zhuang Sheng was slightly surprised, frowned slightly, thought carefully, and said hesitantly: "I have seen several similar stories in a book.
Legend has it that there is a strange creature called "Charm", which has no entity. They will transform into the thing that everyone wants most in their heart, and then use it to absorb the vitality of people to achieve the result of their own continuation.
Those who are favored by the charm will feel that they have reached an incomparable peak in their lives in a very short period of time, and then gradually lose their vitality and fall into a deep sleep in a dream. "
Gu Dan looked across a distance of a hundred feet and saw an unknown flower dancing in the wind. He then shook his head slightly and said, "No, I can still distinguish between reality and illusion.
The feelings I had before were extremely real, and what I saw was also a real scene, without any illusion.
Just that special feeling is enough to make people indulge in it. Even the most ordinary things will be special in that feeling, which is enough to make people addicted and unwilling to leave. "
"this"
Even though Zhuangzi was knowledgeable and well-read, it seemed that he had never seen any corresponding symptoms of such strange things.
Even the legendary Yellow Millet Dream does not have such a power.
"It is somewhat consistent with what Brother Kong said. It is not impossible. But that is an ability that can only be exerted by a mysterious formation called the 'Array of All Things'. This mysterious formation has been lost even in the immortal way. I have only seen it in strange stories related to formations."
As he spoke, Zhuang Sheng glanced around, shrugged, and said, "No matter what, there shouldn't be a Myriad Living Beings Formation here, right?"
"That change should have happened for me, not for anything else."
Gu Dan also nodded.
After thinking hard, Zhuangzi still couldn't find a clue. This kind of "difficult and complicated problem" about the soul could not be recorded in ordinary books.
"Brother Kong, why don't you tell me in detail? Although I don't have any clues, I can ask my master for advice. Maybe I can find the clues."
Zhuang Sheng said seriously.
His master was naturally Qingpingzi.
Since they left the Xia Dynasty together, Gu Dan has never seen Qingpingzi again. Among the old friends, he only met one person, Zhuang Sheng.
Hearing Zhuang Sheng mention it, it seemed that Qingpingzi had also broken through to the foundation-building stage, otherwise he would have died of old age long ago.
At that moment, Gu Dan did not hesitate and carefully stated his feelings.
"It takes about half a year to travel to and from Buzhou Mountain."
After Gu Dan finished speaking, Zhuang Sheng was ready to leave. "I will not miss the sight of the carp leaping over the Dragon Gate. Brother Kong will wait here."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"That's going to be troublesome."
Gu Dan nodded.
Watching Zhuang Sheng go away, a hint of worry appeared in Gu Dan's eyes.
Qingpingzi. That guy might actually have some information unknown to outsiders.
But is he really trustworthy? I'm afraid it's hard to say.
Even the truth about the immortal way that Qingpingzi had revealed to him at the beginning, Gu Dan was a little skeptical at this time.
They say the immortal will return, but more than a hundred years have passed, where is the immortal?
I am not afraid of what the other person says being true, I am just afraid of saying nine out of ten are true and one is false, and then I will trap the other person because of the falsehood.
After all, the other party is a person who will do anything to achieve his goal.
After a month, Gu Dan's spiritual consciousness gradually began to recover from the dryness.
I finally had the leisure and elegance to observe the sixth petal of the lotus unfolding, and the "White Lotus Heavenly Method" came to my mind.
This method is indescribable; it uses the visualization image as a medium and directly engraves it into the soul. There are no words to describe it.
Just like the soul projection that Gu Dan saw at the White Lotus inheritance site, it was a very advanced method in the immortal way, which avoided the risk of being stolen. Those who did not recognize it would not even be able to accept the inheritance.
However, what surprised Gu Dan was that although this so-called "White Lotus Heavenly Method" was a kind of magical power, it was quite strange. Its real method of practice was to constantly observe and meditate on the Mother of No Birth in the mind.
When the Mother of No Birth solidifies, she can be reborn for a short period of time, control the sky and the earth, and display unfathomable divine power.
The so-called acting on behalf of God has nothing to do with oneself, but rather relies on the visualized Mother of No Birth to take action and control everything around.
“This method.”
Gu Dan's eyes flickered.
If the power described in "The White Lotus Act of Heaven" is true, after the Mother of No Birth truly meditates out it, it will indeed possess unfathomable power, the rhythm of the great way, and coordination with heaven and earth. It is the highest level of magical power, and it also has the potential to grow. It is simply the word "perfect" written on its face.
But this thing needs to reside in one's own sea of consciousness - that is the home of one's own soul! Now that one's soul has not really appeared and emerged, it is necessary to "invite" an unknown thing to enter the sea of consciousness? No matter how powerful it is, such a thing will cause endless troubles. Gu Dan would never do this even if he had a brain injury.
"Is there really a mother without birth in this world?"
After actually coming into contact with the "White Lotus Method of Heaven", Gu suddenly felt a chill in his worry.
Could it be that everything engraved in Yuzhou, the place where the White Lotus was inherited, in the Xia Dynasty, was actually true?
Is there really such a being who is almost supreme and has become a giant in the immortal way?
So who left those last four words "Don't cultivate immortality"?
After thinking for a long time, I still can't figure it out.
As his own strength grew stronger and the levels of contact became higher and higher, Gu's doubts and difficulties not only did not ease, but accumulated more and more.
Even if only the tip of the iceberg of this world appeared before him, the unpredictable shadow had already loomed over him, making it difficult not to notice.
“This method must not be practiced in its own way.”
Gu Dan thought for a long time, and gradually came up with a bold but cautious method in his mind, "But why should I visualize the Mother of No Birth? I can visualize myself, right?"
Visualizing the Mother of No Birth is like a cuckoo taking over the magpie’s nest.
But isn't it natural to visualize yourself in your own sea of consciousness? Borrowing the White Lotus method, you can achieve your own path! What is the White Lotus Method? I'm not familiar with it.
If I want to act on behalf of God, then I have to act on behalf of God! Gu Dan was very excited when he thought of this.
He couldn't help but immerse himself in studying "The White Lotus Method of Heaven" and couldn't extricate himself.
Spring goes and autumn comes.
After studying for more than half a year, Gu Dan's eyes sparkled, "It works!"
After repeated pondering and understanding, he finally became certain that this method could indeed directly replace the Mother of No Birth.
Although the power will certainly be greatly reduced, it doesn't matter, the safety is maximized.
He also did not need to directly visualize himself in control of the Heavenly Dao in his sea of consciousness, which was obviously many orders of magnitude different. He only needed to use the White Lotus method to construct himself in his sea of consciousness.
If the self in the sea of consciousness could really be revealed, it would be the legendary "Nascent Soul" level of power!
Even if it can only be used for a short time, the power of the Nascent Soul is definitely extraordinary. Even if it is not as good as the power of visualizing the Mother of No Birth, it can still be called an absolute killer.
However, this kind of meditation is extremely time-consuming and laborious. If one really wants to visualize an Immortal Mother in the sea of consciousness, it will take an ordinary person with talent at least dozens or hundreds of years.
But it only takes a moment to consume it.
Anything related to supernatural powers, when it is mysterious and powerful, the effort required to master it will increase exponentially.
Fortunately, Gu Dan has plenty of time.
In addition to practicing the White Lotus Visualization Diagram as usual every day, I also refine the blood Qi. After the blood Qi explodes, I begin to constantly visualize myself in the sea of consciousness, which makes my life seem particularly fulfilling.
Finally, Zhuang Sheng, who had gone to his master to ask for answers, came back.
The first time he saw Gu Dan, Zhuang Sheng couldn't wait to say, "Brother Kong, I have found your problem. Sit and forget the truth, and you will have no worries if you leave me alone!"
