Chapter 3 Force is useless, let it be
Ji Ning's mind-spirited sword controlled the essence of life lingering over the sea of suffering, and slashed towards the dead and silent black ocean below.
"Boom..."
The waves kept surging, and it was like the vast ocean in reality.
After a brief attempt, Ji Ning did not choose to make a big splash and seek a breakthrough.
Cultivation is not a matter of one day or one night. Only by being steady and consolidating the foundation can you move faster and better in the future.
When you see the sea of suffering, the road ahead is clear.
That night, Ji Ning slept very soundly.
The next morning, when Dongfang turned white, Ji Ning woke up on time. After washing up, he came to the window, adjusted his breathing, and waited for the moment when the rising sun rose.
Not long after, in a dark and bright moment, from the east, accompanied by the first ray of sunshine, the sky suddenly filled with purple clouds.
To absorb the essence of the sun, it must have connotations. Ji Ning practiced hard for ten years and had sufficient energy to accumulate in the Dantian. As long as he motivated his lower abdomen and took deep breaths towards the sun, the essence would naturally become a breathing technique.
After thirty-six consecutive times, he felt his breath full in his body and stopped immediately.
This kind of daily essence is the key to persistence and the meaning of endless success. It should not be taken more in one day.
Some people are greedy for practice but do not have enough foundation to refine it. If the yang fire gathers but does not disperse, they will naturally suffer in the future.
Ji Ning returned to the bed, sat cross-legged, looking inside at the sea of bitterness in the Dantian, which was as dark as ink, and looked lifeless.
According to the beginning of the "Tao Sutra" Wheel Sea Scroll, before the practitioner can communicate, the essence of life can only linger in the sky above the sea of suffering. As for the sea of suffering itself, it is silent, without any fluctuations in life, or dark green or painted black.
Because the sea of suffering overlaps with the wheel of life, the first step in practice is to open a channel in the sea of suffering, so that the wheel of life can be communicated, release endless essence of life, linger over the sea of suffering, overflow to all parts of the body, nourish the flesh and blood, organs and bones, and strengthen the flesh shell.
This is the first realm of this cyclical sea sweeping - the sea of suffering.
Going further, you have to wait until the quantitative change causes qualitative change, and the essence of life gathers together and will turn into liquid states, forming a divine spring of life.
The eyes of the life spring are excavated in the dead sea of suffering, connecting the wheel of life and allowing the divine spring to flow in the water. This is the life spring.
After this, there are two small realms of the Shenqiao and the other side. According to the annotation in the beginning of the "Tao Sutra", the opening of the sea of suffering corresponds to the three levels of the Tao, and the three small realms of the Mingquan, the Shenqiao and the other side correspond to the three levels of the innate Qi training period.
Entering the three levels of Tao: Qi, Zhoutian, and Mingjiao;
The three levels of Qi training: fetal breathing, observing the microscopic, and experiencing the mystery.
After the Qi training period, there are also foundation building, golden elixir, Nascent Soul and other realms. The strongest practitioner in the Ming Dynasty is more than a dozen Nascent Soul True Lords who came into being in the changes of heaven and earth eleven years ago.
For example, the Ji family was originally a small clan in Tongbai County, but a Jindan real person appeared, and since then he soared into the sky and became an important force in the entire Nanyang County.
…………
"boom!"
Ji Ning controlled the life essence accumulated by ten years of asceticism, and bombarded the sea of suffering below again and again.
The dark sea of bitterness was like a bottomless pit, swallowing up the spirit of life that was bombarded, leaving only a few waves.
Unlike last night's brief taste, Ji Ning only realized his own insignificance and powerlessness after facing this boundless sea of suffering.
Although after illuminating the sea of suffering, as long as it is not a special divine body or holy body, then it is not difficult to practice step by step and open up the sea of suffering.
But, can this path really work?
"The sea of suffering is boundless, and turning back is the shore."
Ji Ning bravely faced his weak and cowardly side and shouted loudly in his heart: "Only by dying can you know the value of life. In this life, I will cultivate the strongest magical powers, fight the fiercest enemies, sleep with the most beautiful women, taste the delicious food in the world, and drink all the fine wines in the world. This is how good I am worth!
When I reached this point, I had already turned back and had no shore. Others can overcome this sea of suffering, but I can also overcome it."
"Tu tuk, tuk tuk..."
A knock on the door sounded, awakening Ji Ning, and thought to himself: "What happened to me just now?"
"Brother Ning, I am Ji Yun. Have you gotten up? Are you going to school today?" A voice came from outside the door.
"I'll come right away."
Ji Ning answered, grabbed the backpack at the head of the bed, then took the key, changed the shoes, and opened the door.
Ji Yun is relatively short and has a few acne on his face. He went to school with Ji Ning in Class 12 (4) of Tongbai No. 1 Middle School.
Since the Later Ming Emperor Shenwu, the court has been promoting compulsory education. It has now been a twelve-year system, twelfth grade, commonly known as the senior high school.
Ji Ning's health has been well maintained, so he naturally cannot continue to take leave.
Now is the era of nationwide practice. If you want to become a monk, you must study harder.
Many advanced secrets use dragon and phoenix pictures, cloud seal thunder patterns, demon pictures and ghost patterns, etc. If you don’t even recognize the words, how can you practice?
Ji Ning and Ji Yun went downstairs together, and there was still someone waiting downstairs. They were tall and thin, with dark circles. It was obvious that they had just slept very late last night.
This tall and thin man is named Ji Feng, and he and Ji Yun are called "Fengyun Duo". Ji Feng is very good at studying and his grades are among the best every time. Ji Yun is playful, but his practice progress is very fast and he has touched the threshold of Mingjiao, the third level of entering the Tao.
The three of them talked about the interesting things about the class and the school after the start of the senior year. The two knew that Ji Ning failed to get through the pass, so they both avoided talking about this.
When Ji Ning thought of his previous "demonic madness", he felt a little disgusted along the way, which further proved Ji Yun and Ji Feng's speculation.
Ji Yun asked, "Brother Ning, what are your plans next?"
Ji Ning came back to his senses and said, "Of course, we should study hard, improve every day, and strive to get into a good university."
Ji Yun and Ji Feng looked at each other and communicated silently.
Ji Feng thought about it and said, "Brother Ning, what are you going to do in terms of practice?"
Ji Ning looked up at the sky and said, "It is better to let the practice go naturally."
After saying that, he suddenly muttered in a low voice, saying, "Let it go, let it go..."
"Haha, I understand." Ji Ning slapped his hands suddenly and laughed excitedly.
Ji Feng and Ji Yun communicated quietly with their eyes and shook their heads tacitly.
When he entered school, went to class, finished class, finished school, had dinner, and then continued to go to school in the afternoon. After school, Ji Ning seemed to have put the matter of cultivation behind his mind. He had no other actions except insisting on breathing in the morning sun every morning.
Time flies, and Tongbai County soon ushered in the first snow after the beginning of winter.
Ji Ning woke up in the morning and opened the curtains. He saw that the world outside was covered with silver and was particularly enchanting.
When the sunrise was coming, he looked at the east, and his mind seemed to be united with the sun that was about to jump out of the horizon, and then he jumped violently and came to the sky above the sea of suffering.
