In the Zhenyan Studio, Zuo Ningqing and Xiao Wen no longer adhered to the etiquette of master and disciple, and they all sat down on the guest seats, with only a small bamboo tea table in between.

Zuo Ningqing asked: "Can you describe the role of mind cultivation in one sentence?".

Xiao Wen didn't dare to be negligent, but after thinking for a long time, he only got an answer he already had, so he had to answer honestly: "Break the bottleneck in mind cultivation, and then smoothly advance to the next level."

Zuo Ningqing laughed dumbly, shook her head and said, "It shows that you are concentrating on practice, but your statement is not specific enough, and you didn't even touch the edge."

"Oh? What should that be?"

"For immortal cultivators, it is true that the purpose of cultivating the mind is to advance to a higher level. However, have you ever thought about why it is necessary to cultivate the mind? Could it be that without cultivating the mind, the Taoist body cannot advance by itself?"

"Well, this is an old tradition in our Tianji Immortal World. Everyone thinks it is a matter of course..." Xiao Wen first said this matter-of-factly, and then continued with shame, "The same goes for the disciples, so it is

Never thought about it."

"Well, let alone you, there may be many true immortals who have never thought about why immortal cultivators must cultivate their minds. To put it bluntly, it is actually just one point, that is the Tao foundation in the human skull, which the immortals are accustomed to call

As the soul root, it dominates and also limits the improvement of the entire Taoist base. To improve the soul root, the only way is to cultivate the mind. You can think of the Taoist base as a tree vine, but it grows upside down. In this way, the soul root

Genzhi said it would be easier for you to accept it."

"Um."

"Now that you're listening to what I'm saying, you might as well close your eyes and look inside to see if it's consistent with what I said."

"good."

Xiao Wen nodded and closed his eyes, and soon focused his attention on the foundation. The main trunk of the three-color foundation, fiery red, azurite, and jet black, circled around the spine, passed the cervical spine, and finally penetrated into the bottom of the skull cavity.

.After arriving here, the main trunk of the road base no longer rises, but branches out into more than a dozen branches, and the branches continue to be subdivided into thin

The roots penetrated in. These dozen branches and those slender roots have been affected by the brain and will, and have long been mutated. In terms of texture, they are actually different from the Dao foundation everywhere in the body, and they may not be superior to them.

There are Dao foundations elsewhere, but they must be very special. Those branches and roots that have undergone changes are what Zuo Ningqing calls the soul roots.

At this moment, Zuo Ningqing's voice came again: "Every time you upgrade, you can compare the Dao foundation to an ordinary person, and the soul root part is the Dao foundation of this ordinary person. Dao foundation

If Ji does not awaken, this ordinary person will definitely not be able to practice further. So, can you understand the keyness of the soul root?"

"Um."

"Counting the Daoji awakening, you have only been promoted twice, and your experience is still too little. When you gain more experience in the future, even if I don't tell you this, you will be able to sum it up yourself. Now let me ask you again,

What exactly is the purpose of cultivating the mind?”

Xiao Wen pondered for a moment and then said: "Awaken the soul root, release its restrictions on the other Dao foundations, and let it in turn guide the improvement of the other Dao foundations."

"Well, that's exactly it. Then do you know why cultivating the mind can improve the soul root?"

"Because the soul root penetrates deep into the skull cavity and is connected to the human brain, it can be affected by the human soul at all times?" Xiao Wen said with some uncertainty.

"If you have any ideas, tell me openly, but my teacher will laugh at you, right?"

Xiao Wen's face heated up and he responded: "Disciple understands."

"What you just said is actually completely correct. The human will and soul are the most mysterious, even more powerful than the real immortal magic. The soul root penetrates into the skull cavity and is the only foundation that contacts the will and soul. There is no doubt that

, there is indeed some kind of interactive influence between them. Cultivation of the heart is to enrich the heart, strengthen one's soul power, and then affect the soul root and awaken the soul root."

"Um."

"It's actually a bit blunt to say this, it's like treating the human body and road foundation as dead objects such as waterwheels, bellows, looms, etc. As long as the individual parts are correct, there will be nothing wrong as a whole. In fact, it is not wrong to treat people

Only by cultivating the mind can the soul root be awakened and further upgraded. In fact, there is a deeper explanation.

, that is, a person whose will and soul are not strong enough is not worthy of controlling such a great power. Just like an ignorant child can use an immortal weapon, the consequences are unimaginable. Cultivating the mind is like this world.

A protective measure forcibly imposed on the immortal cultivators."

"I see..." Xiao Wen still didn't open his eyes, but nodded seriously.

"It can also be seen from this that cultivating the mind actually has little to do with character. Even a person with an extreme temperament can still awaken his soul root as long as his will is strong enough and his soul power is strong enough. Today, Yue Jianhe

Although he was eager to protect his son and lost his cool for a moment, in fact, he had a strong heart towards the Tao in his early years, and he remained determined despite many twists and turns. It is not a fluke that he has reached the state he is in now."

"Yeah, I know." Xiao asked.

"Okay, please open your eyes."

Xiao Wen was new to the idea of ​​soul roots and wanted to take a closer look. Hearing this, he had no choice but to quickly open his eyes.

"You will have plenty of time to observe in the future, and I have more important things to tell you." Zuo Ningqing said with a smile.

"Um."

"As long as people's qualifications are not too bad, they will always be promoted several times in this life. Those who are better can go from little immortals to real immortals, and from real immortals to heavenly immortals. What do you think of this kind of promotion? From a

The height has risen to another level?" Zuo Ning asked with a clear smile.

"Yes, now that I have met people with high realms, I still feel like I look up to them from the bottom of my heart." Xiao Wen also said with a smile.

Zuo Ningqing nodded, and then said: "At least 9,999 out of 10,000 people in this world have this view. Now you have to listen carefully, because I hope you can become that person from today on."

The only special one among ten thousand people will be of great help to your mind cultivation."

Xiao Wen's heart trembled, and he quickly concentrated his attention. His body, which had been relaxed, suddenly sat upright.

Zuo Ningqing nodded, and then said: "This world has long had this saying, that is, everything in the world and its laws are an indivisible whole, that is, 'heaven and earth' in a broad sense. And what we monks want is to transcend

Do you agree with this world?"

"Completely agree."

"Well, since this heaven and earth already contains everything, then the three great realms of small immortals, true immortals, and heavenly immortals are also within this heaven and earth. They will not stop you just because you haven't cultivated to that realm yet.

exists, and it will not cease to exist just because anyone has not cultivated to that realm. The first person in the world to cultivate to a certain realm is nothing special, because this

Heaven and earth did not create that realm specifically for him, but had already created that realm waiting there, and he just happened to be the first. Only when people came to be, they were given 'little fairies','

The three names "True Immortal" and "Heavenly Immortal", even if there is no one in the Tianji Immortal World, they still exist, but they will not have these three names given by humans."

Xiao asked: "..."

"Now comes the question, that is, how does the world view these three realms? We might as well start elsewhere, just like the grass, flowers and trees on Mingran Peak. If we look closely, we can see that the grass has

Green and yellow, flowers may be beautiful or ugly, and trees may be tall or short, but these are all human opinions.

, how do you see this world? When a wildfire passes, everything is turned into ashes, how can there be green, yellow, beauty and ugliness, height and height? If there are a group of monkeys or a honeycomb in the forest, no matter whether they are the monkey king or the queen bee,

They will all be burned to death with ordinary monkeys and worker bees. In this world, has anyone ever looked up to anyone?"

"No."

"The same is true for the realms of small immortals, true immortals, and heavenly immortals. They are indeed very different, but that is how humans feel. In the eyes of this world, these three realms are the same as the laws of everything in this world, and there is no advantage or disadvantage.

The difference between superior and inferior. This is actually a very important foundation of the teacher’s practice system, come and see.”

As he spoke, Zuo Ningqing stretched out his hand and touched it in the air, and a rectangular black light screen appeared in the air, about one foot long and four feet high. Zuo Ningqing's finger pointed somewhere on the black light screen again, and then clicked

A blue light spot appeared, and he quickly wrote a picture next to it, and wrote the word Xiao Wen.

"Since this world treats everything equally, there is no need to look at anyone, anything, or anything at all. Such a flat picture is enough to represent this world. And you are now a part of this world. This is

A small dot." Zuo Ningqing pointed at the small green dot.

"Yeah." Xiao Wen responded, but he felt a little excited in his heart.

"You are now a part of this world and belong to this whole. From this perspective, anything you get in this world will not only be your own, but also belong to this world. Even you are part of this world.

In the future, when you die or ascend, those things will have to be left to this world. You have never really gotten them."

"Um."

"And your ambition is to continue on the road of spiritual practice, transcending this world, transcending this world. From this perspective, everything you get is still not your own. Because you are not based in this world.

, but based on the world as a 'transcendental person', but those things are all from this world."

"Um."

"Since you can understand these, the next step is simple. Since no matter from any angle, you can't get anything in this world, then the real purpose of your practice in this world is never to get anything.

What should we control, but spread out from this point to see a broader world and understand more of its principles." As Zuo Ningqing spoke, he started from the little cyan person representing Xiao Wen.

Several lines were drawn outwards from the dots pointing into the darkness, and three increasingly larger concentric circles were drawn further away, with the names Little Immortal, True Immortal, and Heavenly Immortal respectively. He then said, "Only the first

Only when you understand can you transcend. Those three realms are actually there. They are not rising, but expanding. When you see enough and understand enough, you will naturally reach that realm.
