Chapter 689 Human Immortal Sect (23)

"It's indeed a good move."

Xie Que clapped his hands gently, with some heartfelt approval in his voice.

"It is truly commendable to be able to show such accomplishments at the very beginning of entering the divine realm."

"This not only proves your talent, but also proves that your understanding is truly extraordinary."

When Chu Junyin heard this, he couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart.

He was already full of curiosity about the "real practice" that was about to begin.

Xie Que's eyes became extremely serious at this moment: "Although the Taoist and magical powers you have mastered are not bad."

"But it's a world of difference compared to what I'm about to teach you."

"So you must be prepared now to completely forget everything you have learned in the past, without leaving a trace, and to abandon it all."

"It's like a phoenix rising from nirvana before it can be reborn."

When Chu Junyin heard this, a strong curiosity arose in his heart.

He knew that this practice was unusual, so he nodded solemnly, indicating that he was ready.

Seeing this, Xie Que raised a meaningful smile on his lips.

He asked slowly: "You have been immersed in the Subtle Realm for many years, and your perception of everything in the world has reached an unprecedented level."

"Then, let me ask you, have you ever calmed down and thought deeply about what this vast world is made of? What kind of power supports the operation of this world?"

Chu Junyin replied almost without thinking: "It's Qi."

He knows that, as recorded in the Taoist Canon, all things in the world are

Whether it is the physical body or the soul, they are all transformed from the innate Qi, which is the most fundamental element that constitutes this world.

The same is true whether it is spiritual energy or various substances in the world, including the underworld and the dead in it.

The innate energy is everywhere, and there are even records in the Taoist scriptures that even the void is also made of the innate energy.

Xie Que shook his head slightly at this moment and directly denied Chu Junyin's answer:

"Didn't I just warn you and ask you to completely forget those inherent perceptions?"

When Chu Junyin heard this, he was stunned.

He looked back on what he had learned and understood over the years, and those perceptions that he regarded as truth seemed to become vague and unfamiliar at this moment.

He couldn't help feeling confused and incredulous: "Do we have to completely forget even these most basic and fundamental things?"

Xie Que nodded without hesitation, with unquestionable determination in his tone:

"What I mean by 'all' naturally includes these foundations that you feel are indispensable."

"Only in this way can you get rid of the shackles of the past and understand what I am talking about with a new perspective and mentality."

Chu Junyin's brows were furrowed, and his heart was full of doubts.

These basic galaxies are the cornerstone for him to understand this world and understand Taoism and supernatural powers.

If he abandons them all, how can he establish his understanding of the world?

Xie Que seemed to have understood Chu Junyin's inner confusion. He smiled slightly: "What you have learned is not right or wrong."

“But you need to understand that these cognitions themselves are just tools, and how you use these tools is the key to determining whether you can reach a higher state.”

"So you now need to relearn them in a different cognitive way."

"Only in this way can you hope to cultivate the blood realm."

Chu Junyin nodded slowly in silence, a thoughtful light flashing in his eyes, as if he was digesting the profound meaning of Xie Que's words.

When Xie Que saw this, a faint smile appeared on his lips: "Whether it's Qi as discussed by Taoism or emptiness as discussed by Buddhism."

"Although these concepts have their own merits, they are just assumptions and do not exist in reality."

"And what I want to teach you today is also a cognitive concept that is neither attached to the flow of Qi nor limited to the illusion of emptiness."

"It is a more essential and pure way of knowing."

Chu Junyin's understanding was extremely high. He immediately captured the essence of Xie Que's words and nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing this, Xie Que secretly praised in his heart:

: "Everything in the world can be divided into two parts, one part into two parts, two parts into four parts, four parts into eight parts, and so on."

"Therefore, everything in the world is made of extremely small substances."

"What I want to teach you today is what this extremely small substance is."

Although these theories have long been recorded in Taoist scriptures, he has never understood them from a new perspective like this.

Chu Junyin also wanted to see how the other party would explain it.

Xie Que continued: "All things are not born without reason, nor are they chaotic and unified. They are actually made up of finer particles, which are called molecules."

"The molecules are like corn in the barn. Although they are small, they can be gathered together to become huge."

"However, the molecules are not the ultimate microscopic ones and can still be divided."

"If you divide it to the extreme, you can get particles that can't be divided anymore, which are called atoms."

"Atoms are like the original energy of heaven and earth, and the basic elements of all things. They are solid and immutable. When they gather, they become objects, and when they disperse, they return to nothingness."

When Chu Junyin heard this, he frowned slightly and was not too surprised by what Xie Que said.

He secretly thought to himself that this was just a more complicated way of describing the innate energy.

He did not interrupt Xie Que, but chose to continue listening.

Xie Que seemed to have seen through Chu Junyin's thoughts, but he did not point it out, but continued:

"There are still smaller particles inside the atom, called quarks."

"Quarks cannot be detected by those who are skilled in subtleties."

“Its nature is unpredictable, gathering or dispersing to form the nucleus of an atom and maintain the stability of the atom.”

"There are also particles, which are also hidden deep in the atoms and are difficult to visualize."

…

Chu Junyin gradually heard the profound meaning, and finally understood the difference between the two.

The explanations of Taoism and Buddhism are so mysterious that I have no way of understanding what these things are.

But what he heard now was something he could easily understand.

When Xie Que finished his words, Chu Junyin also felt a little unfinished. He couldn't help but ask:

"Is this all you taught me?"

“Then after learning these things, how should we do it?”

Xie Que smiled slightly: "This knowledge is enough for you to think deeply for a while."

"As for how to understand and use them, you need to rely on your own wisdom and understanding."

"The more advanced you are in the practice of Hongmeng Parasitic Technique, the more profound your grasp of the microscopic world will be."

Xie Que continued: "Didn't you notice?"

"Although the area of ​​your blood river is now reduced by ten thousand times, its power has been enhanced as never before."

"This is because the density has increased, and the blood river can also change at a more subtle level."

When Chu Junyin heard this, his heart suddenly became enlightened.

He also realized that the so-called "real practice"

It is not only the pursuit of improvement in strength and realm, but also the understanding of the nature of strength.

After Chu Junyin thought for a moment, he nodded slowly.

He realized that his previous control over the blood river was indeed only at a superficial level.

But now, after some guidance, he has been able to penetrate into a deeper level of the microscopic world.

This allows for the ultimate compression and condensation of every power of the blood river.

And this power is like a volcano that has been accumulated to the extreme,

Once released, it will explode with unprecedented power.

Chu Junyin thought secretly in his heart, if he could go further,

The control of the blood river reaches a more subtle level, then the power contained in the blood river,

It will surely climb again and reach a whole new level.

Seeing this, Xie Que smiled slightly and continued: "Since you have understood this level, then we should proceed to the next step of study."

Hearing this, Chu Junyin nodded again.

Seeing this, Xie Que continued: "At this point, you should also have a skill that matches the Hongmeng Parasitism Technique."

"Although the paper-cut painting and shadow painting you have practiced before has its own uniqueness, it is completely unable to match the Hongmeng Parasitism Technique."

"This is also the reason why your blood river area is greatly limited."

"Only if you have the skills that match the Hongmeng Parasitism Technique, can your blood river truly exert its due power."

When Xie Que said this, he looked at Chu Junyin with an almost scrutinizing look:

"Have you ever truly explored the nature of Hongmeng's Parasitic Art?"

A trace of hesitation flashed across Chu Junyin's face, and it was obvious that he was not completely sure about this issue.

However, he still expressed his suspicion: "Could it be... that it is a kind of magic power?"

When Xie Que heard this, a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "If you only look at it from a superficial perspective, it is indeed easy to be confused with those unorthodox magic arts."

"But what I want to tell you is that the Hongmeng Parasitism Technique is by no means a magic power. It is an upright, great-level magical power that originates from the principles of heaven and earth!"

Chu Junyin couldn't help being shocked when he heard this.

He never imagined that this seemingly evil technique would actually have something to do with the Great Dao.

He opened his mouth, but he could only utter a simple syllable: "Huh?"

Xie Que didn't give him much time to digest this information, but gently stretched out his finger.

With the gentle touch of his fingertips, a memory about the origin of the Hongmeng Parasitism Technique,

It surged like a tide and poured into Chu Junyin's mind instantly.

At this moment, Chu Junyin

He felt as if he had transformed into a bamboo shoot buried deep in the earth, waiting for the moment to break out of the ground.

But within a few moments, he felt his body begin to grow at an incredible speed.

Wherever he looked, there were green leaves swaying gently in the breeze.

His head has also turned into a dense and prosperous tree crown, and the thick green leaves cover the sky and the sun.

The sky above the head was completely blocked, leaving only wisps of mottled sunlight falling through the gaps in the leaves.

At the same time, Chu Junyin’s feet also turned into countless slender strips.

They spread crazily in all directions and penetrated into every corner of the underground.

These "tentacles" penetrate rocks, bypass grass roots, and continue to extend downward, looking for water and nutrients.

As these roots continue to spread and expand, they gradually form a large and complex network underground.

Gradually, Chu Junyin completely transformed into a towering bamboo.

Its roots go deep into the ground, while its branches and leaves stretch toward the sky.

At that moment, Chu Junyin seemed to resonate with every inch of land, every leaf, and every drop of dew in this vast world.

They breathe the air of heaven and earth together, and feel the vibration coming from the ground together.

He can clearly feel the subtle wriggling and stretching of each root under his feet.

They are like countless tentacles exploring the world, deeply penetrating every corner of the soil,

greedily absorbing various nutrients and water, nourishing every inch of his skin and every green leaf.

"So that's it!"

Chu Junyin couldn't help but feel an indescribable shock in his heart.

In an instant, a trace of mysterious Taoism quietly condensed in his heart, and was about to break out of the cocoon.

However, at this critical moment, Chu Junyin suddenly withdrew from that wonderful state,

and the Taoism that was about to condense also collapsed and dissipated into the invisible.

He had no regrets, because he had already got what he wanted most.

At this time, the scene in front of Chu Junyin was still the same, and the monk was sitting quietly opposite him.

Seeing this, Xie Que smiled slightly and asked, "Since you have seen it, what do you think?"

Chu Junyin's expression seemed a little complicated. He took a deep breath and said slowly:

"The method created by the predecessor is indeed profound and unfathomable. I was confused by its appearance before and failed to comprehend its true essence."

Xie Que nodded gently after hearing this, and his eyes revealed a hint of approval: "Not bad."

Chu Junyin pondered for a moment, and then said solemnly: "The Hongmeng Parasitic Art created by the predecessor is based on the natural avenue. It is indeed a great avenue-level magical power."

Xie Que slowly stretched out his hand, and there were endless changes in his palm. All things were born and died on it, and the cycle never stopped.

He asked, "Do you know that the way of nature is not just the alternation of birth and death, but also the coexistence and prosperity of birth and death and reincarnation."

"What you have understood is just the tip of the iceberg. You need to learn much more than that."

"Next, what I am going to teach you is the last thing you need to learn."

Chu Junyin was a little nervous, but nodded.

Seeing this, Xie Que smiled slightly and continued:

"In the following practice, you don't need to stick to the appearances you just felt and realized."

"What you need to do is to integrate the Tao into yourself, so that everything can become the Tao wherever your heart goes."

"At this level, practice is no longer just about external skills and magical powers."

"It's your inner tenacity and persistence, your indomitable and courageous breath."

"Remember, true practice is not to blindly learn rules, but to become the rules themselves."

"You must learn to interpret and use these rules in your own way, so that they can become the sharpest sword and the most solid shield in your hand."

At this point, Xie Que's eyes became unusually firm: "Next, what I want to give you is... martial arts!" (End of this chapter)
