Mahākāśyapa was a Buddhist Sanskrit word. It meant that the mind was as vast as the universe, endless and boundless. It was vast and formless, pure and colorless, and true and without desires. Thus, it could bear the weight of the universe, the seven emotions and six desires, and the six paths of life.
The Mahākāśyapa Seal used the art of mahākāśyapa. It was the supreme dao that the Buddha had comprehended. The bronze bell formed by the Mahākāśyapa Seal was a divine artifact that was refined using the art of mahākāśyapa. Although it had the vast divine might that could seal the Sky Demon realm, it was a level lower.
The Ten Directions Buddha Seal was actually the Mahākāśyapa Seal. It was just that the Eastern Secret Art had extracted the essence of the Mahākāśyapa Seal. It was then combined with the Eastern Earth Secret Art to create the Ten Directions Buddha Seal. The upper limit of this secret art was the peak of Rank 9. Gao Zhengyang had met Fusang Zi on the Heaven Origin Planet and obtained the art of the Heart Saint from him. That was how he broke through the limit and became a Heart Saint.
The moment Gao Zhengyang's Heart Buddha Seal touched the Mahākāśyapa Seal, the secret art that came from the same source immediately resonated with his heart. The various profundities of the Mahākāśyapa Seal were transmitted into his heart.
The Mahākāśyapa Seal used the heart as the foundation, containing the universe, all living beings, the seven emotions and six desires. Its level was even higher than the Dragon King Seal, Yin Yang Space Shattering Fist, and other peerless secret arts.
Although Gao Zhengyang had become a Heart Saint, he only had the strength, but not the secret art to use it. It was like he was holding a sniper rifle but only knew how to use the barrel to smash people. The application of the power of the heart was the simplest transformation.
The resonance of the Mahākāśyapa Seal allowed Gao Zhengyang to instantly understand the profundities contained within the Mahākāśyapa Seal. But to him, the endless information that surged into his heart filled his heart, to the point that it felt like it might explode.
Luckily, Gao Zhengyang's Dragon Emperor Indestructible Body was extremely powerful, and his body and mind were one, able to resist all external forces. The mental transformations of the Mahākāśyapa Seal were enough to turn a Sage expert into an idiot.
The endless thoughts of the Maha Seal were like raging waves, but Gao Zhengyang's mind was as firm as a boulder. No matter how the Maha Seal attacked, it did not budge. Of course, he had no way to comprehend anything from the surging waves.
However, just the impact of the surging thoughts was a true tempering of his soul.
Gao Zhengyang was extremely talented and had two lifetimes of experience. His wisdom was also extraordinary. Only then could one comprehend the secret technique and become a Heart Saint. However, he, the Heart Saint, did not have anyone to guide him. Not to say that he was on the wrong path, but he was more or less floating and not solid enough.
The impact of the Maha Seal was like a furnace, washing away all the impurities in one's heart.
Joy, anger, sorrow, joy, life and death, love and hate, passion and hatred, unrepentant … Different lives and different thoughts seemed to divide Gao Zhengyang into thousands of different individuals. From different levels, he deeply experienced the various spiritual experiences of different lives.
During this process, Gao Zhengyang gradually gained some understanding of the four powers of the heart, mind, soul, and body.
The birth of human life was the result of the struggle between two essences to produce a little bit of Innate Spiritual Vigor. This little bit of Spiritual Vigor was God. God was the most original life force and spiritual vigor of life. It was the most fundamental imprint of life.
When the God moved, the soul was born. When the human's God encountered Acquired Qi, it would give birth to a soul. The God was the foundation, the imprint, and it could not be moved.
The God was the Innate Spiritual Vigor, while the soul was the Acquired Qi. Just like Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang, they complemented each other. If the God was the core, then the soul would be the external form. The God and Soul were one. The Innate and Acquired Perfection would form an inseparable God and Soul.
At this point, the human's God and Soul were completely formed. If the Innate God was insufficient, it would affect the Acquired Soul. However, the stronger the Acquired Soul, it could also nourish the Innate God. Once the God and Soul were formed, it would also establish a person's foundation.
When the God and Soul gave birth to consciousness and emotions, it would be able to observe and understand everything in the world. It would have its own position, and with it as the core, it would condense its self-consciousness, which was the heart.
As the saying goes, the God moves the soul, the soul awakens the soul, and the will condenses into the heart.
The God and Soul were the foundation of life, while the heart was the foundation of the self. With only the God and no heart, life was no different from grass and trees. Only the heart and soul could make all sentient beings stand out from the rest.
Although the heart was acquired, it was the master of consciousness and emotions. It represented the highest existence of the self, and was the most important core of all sentient beings.
Only when life had a heart and positioned itself, could it distinguish between the inside and the outside, and become an individual.
The heart was also the core of all power.
A martial artist must comprehend martial arts through the heart and soul, using the Divine Will of martial arts as the core, combined with the God and Soul projection, and condense Qi to form the Martial Spirit. In this way, the Martial Spirit would have great power and vitality.
The Yang Spirit of a sorcerer was also formed by comprehending spells from the heart and using spells as the foundation. In essence, the Yang Spirit was the same as the Martial Spirit. It was just that the Martial Spirit was restrained, and the Yang Spirit was released. One used martial arts to control the internal, while the other used spells to control Qi.
As for martial arts and spells, they showed two completely different characteristics, so that it was difficult to merge, like ice and fire. However, it was not absolutely impossible for the two to merge. For example, Lu Jiuyuan merged the Yang Spirit and the Martial Spirit into one. He achieved a unique Saint level.
In fact, the Yang Spirit and the Martial Spirit were just a name, and had nothing to do with the real God and Soul. The core was the heart and soul. The heart and mind were the Yang Spirit, and the heart and soul were the Martial Spirit. If one wanted to achieve the Saint Spirit and the Saint God at the same time, he just had to divide his heart and soul.
This principle seemed very simple, but even among the Saint level powerhouses, not many people really understood it.
Gao Zhengyang had achieved the Three Saints, and originally thought that he had mastered the Great Dao, at least there would be no obstacles in the Saint level. Only now did he realize that the root of the power of the Saint level was the human heart.
The funny thing was that he thought he had become a Heart Saint by relying on the Heart Saint Secret Method. In reality, he had cultivated the Dragon Emperor Indestructible Body, and his heart and soul had an indestructible imprint in the universe, which was the foundation of his Heart Saint.
After the baptism of the Maha Seal, Gao Zhengyang finally found the right path. Now he needed time to settle down. When he mastered the secret method learned in the Maha Seal, he would naturally be able to achieve the so-called Saint God.
With this realization, Gao Zhengyang's heart also calmed down.
The Maha Seal recorded the various situations of the Sky Demon Realm for thousands of years. It included the origins of many powerful Sky Demons, the secret methods they cultivated, their temperament, and all sorts of other information.
Gao Zhengyang was not a Sky Demon, so he was not very interested in these secret methods. But through the Heart Resonance, he could use the Maha Seal to experience the Sky Demons' experiences, to understand their life course. This was a precious treasure for Gao Zhengyang. It also helped him save a lot of time.
The sun rose and the moon set. Spring passed and autumn came.
Gao Zhengyang sat quietly in the Demon Saint Valley, allowing time to flow. He was as still as the thick earth.
The Sky Demons were all great demons that had lived for thousands of years. Seeing Gao Zhengyang meditating, they also became more confident and patient.
Many Sky Demons waited to the side, agreeing not to disturb Gao Zhengyang.
But more than two years had passed in the blink of an eye, and Gao Zhengyang still did not move.
The Diamond Ape King finally could not hold back. He did not want to discuss with the other Demon Saints, so he strode in front of Gao Zhengyang. He raised the black iron rod in his hand and said to Gao Zhengyang, "What the hell are you doing? Hurry up and answer me!"
