Chapter 45 You are cultivating immortals, I am cultivating Tao

  When Xu Ke lacked follow-up exercises before, he had also guessed about the fourth level of the "Little Five Elements Hunyuan Zhenjue".

  Based on the understanding and comprehension of the first three levels, guess what the fourth level of exercises might look like. This process of conjecture also gave Xu Ke some ideas about the fourth level of exercises.

  At this moment, compared with the follow-up exercises of "Small Five Elements Hunyuan Zhenjue", Xu Ke's conjecture... some places are the same, some places are similar, and some places are very different.

   This is equivalent to trying to solve a difficult problem by myself. Although I didn’t make it, I thought about it and wrote some steps. When the answer is correct, I naturally feel a sense of enlightenment in my heart.

   It's just that, limited by his lack of knowledge, Xu Ke still has a little "knowledge of it, but doesn't know why" to this "answer".

  For example: When doing exercises, why is the route of spiritual power running like this? Why is the frequency of spiritual power fluctuations like that? What is the rule here? What is the principle?

  There must be people in this world who understand these "laws" and know these "principles", but they don't publish these "laws" and "principles" as in the previous world, but have become secret "truths".

  In Xu Ke's view, the process of practice is to constantly summarize the laws through phenomena, and finally come to a certain "law" and understand a certain "principle".

   This is "Tao"!

  Cultivation is a long journey of seeking, proving and attaining the Tao.

  The avenue is boundless, the road is long and long, and I will search up and down.

  Influenced by previous life thinking, at this moment, Xu Ke already had his own understanding of the essence of practice.

  Each exercise is the result of the predecessors' pursuit of the Tao. Practicing a method is to follow the path of predecessors.

  The purpose of practice is not only to improve the realm and increase the cultivation base, but also to understand and comprehend the achievements of the predecessors in the process of practice.

  The process of practicing is also a learning process.

  A person who only knows how to follow the path of his predecessors, does not know how to think for himself, and does not know how to summarize the rules by himself. Such a person is just a poor imitator, and his realm is always limited to the realm that can be achieved by exercises.

  When the road came to an end and he needed to explore by himself, he couldn't go on.

   Such a person will never be able to reach the peak of the road of practice!

  Through this "dialectic of thinking", Xu Ke's mind seems to have been washed, becoming clearer, more transparent, and more steadfast.

  Perhaps, this is the "Dao Xin"?

Xu Ke smiled, put the "Small Five Elements Hunyuan Zhenjue" into the storage bag, then closed his eyes, and reviewed the first three levels of the "Little Five Elements Hunyuan Zhenjue" in his mind, Then start practicing.

   This time, Xu Ke did not rush to practice the fourth level, but re-practiced the first three levels of skills.

  Centre your mind into tranquility, breathe out, guide your spiritual power, and slowly circulate in your body along the already familiar exercise route.

  While doing the exercises, observe the phenomena that occur in the process of doing the exercises, carefully comprehend, understand, summarize the laws, and pursue the essence.

   This exercise is really completely different from the previous experience.

  Before, the purpose of Xu Ke's practice of exercises was only to improve his realm and increase his cultivation base. He did not put his mind on understanding exercises and pursuing the essence of exercises.

At this moment, Xu Ke is practicing the first three levels of the "Small Five Elements Hunyuan Zhenjue", comparing the phenomena, summarizing the laws, and deepening his understanding. This makes Xu Ke understand the first three levels of the "Small Five Elements Hunyuan Zhenjue" better. Thorough, more in-depth.

   Learn the new by reviewing the past.

   Re-practice the first three levels of exercises again, and after deepening his understanding and comprehension, Xu Ke looked at the fourth level of exercises again, and felt that his understanding was deeper.

  Thus, Xu Ke guided the spiritual power and started to operate according to the running track of the fourth-level exercises.

  With the operation of the exercises, the aura of heaven and earth echoes with it, pours into the body along the spiritual root acupoints, circulates in the meridians, and continuously enters the dantian.

  During this process, spiritual powers of different attributes meet, collide with each other, transform into each other, and finally merge into one, turning into "mixed spiritual power".

  Through these phenomena, summarize the laws and explore the essence.

  In my opinion, this is the real practice.

  Thirty-six rounds of exercise, one practice is over.

  In this practice, the growth of spiritual power is secondary. What is more important is that Xu Ke's understanding and comprehension of the exercises is more thorough and deeper into the essence.

  This understanding and comprehension will be fed back into practice, which will make Xu Ke's practice more efficient and his cultivation realm will grow faster.

   Of course, I have a faster way.

   "Heaven rewards hard work, add points!"

   With a thought, Xu Ke activated the "Hundredfold Harvest" of God's Rewards.

  In an instant, all the experiences, thoughts, understandings and perceptions in the process of practice, as well as the exploration of the essence of the practice, flooded into my mind a hundredfold.

  This allowed Xu Ke to take another big step forward in his exploration of the essence of the "Small Five Elements Hunyuan Zhenjue".

At the same time, strands of spiritual power poured into the body along the spiritual root acupoints, flowed rapidly, continuously refined, and continuously incorporated into the dantian, turning into spiritual mist-like mixed primordial spiritual power, permeating the fourth layer of spiritual power space in the dantian .

  The realm of cultivation has greatly improved, which is even greater than the previous "Hundredfold Harvest" once!

   "Hoo..."

  Xu Ke let out a long breath of foul air, and got up.

   Sure enough, practice should be like this.

  As long as I continue to practice in this way, with the blessing of "Heaven rewards diligence", when I practice the "Little Five Elements Hunyuan Zhenjue" to the twelfth level, I will be able to thoroughly understand this exercise.

  At that time, I will be able to digest and absorb the "achievements of my predecessors' pursuit of Taoism" and turn it into my own thing, an accumulation on my own path of seeking.

  The study of "predecessors' achievements in seeking Tao" is not only focused on practicing Qigong, but can also be extended to other aspects.

  Yellow Turban Wrestlers Exercise can also be interpreted in this way.

   Zhengfa Sword Art can also do the same.

   Even the spells and other sideline skills I have learned can be analyzed with "dialectical" thinking to interpret their essence.

  So, the knowledge learned in the previous life may not be applicable in this world where aura is the source.

  However, the dialectical way of thinking learned in previous lives can also play a huge role in this practice world.

  Actually, in terms of the world of cultivating immortals, scientists in previous lives were also a group of seekers of Tao. The truth of the other universe is not the Dao of that universe!

  Man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature.

  The road of practice is the road of seeking the Tao, exploring the laws of the operation of the world, and pursuing the truth of the world.

   Of course, in the process of pursuing the truth, I can also obtain infinite power and immortality.

  You only aim to become immortals, and your practice is only to cultivate immortals.

  And I, in the process of pursuing the truth, naturally became a fairy.

  So, you are cultivating immortals, and I am cultivating Tao!
