There was a kind of understanding that was called knowing full well that you were lying, but not pointing it out. Instead, you could continue the conversation along with your intentions.
"What visualization technique is it? Let's hear it. "
"I don't know the specific name. I only remember the general outline of the visualization technique. It's extremely easy to grasp, but after cultivating it, there's a huge drawback. It's very easy for the visualizer to sink deep into it, completely losing their original heart and self."
Ye Xingchen's expression was extremely solemn. Her pretty face even showed signs of struggle and hesitation, as if she couldn't make up her mind at the moment. She turned her head to look at Ling Yun. "So, you must consider clearly whether you want to listen or not."
Ling Yun looked at Ye Xingchen's solemn expression and couldn't help but be amused. He said disapprovingly, "It's just a general outline. What's there to worry about? If I feel that it's inappropriate after listening to it, then I won't cultivate it."
As he spoke, Ling Yun gave Ye Xingchen a reassuring look.
Ling Yun couldn't be blamed for handling it so easily. In his opinion, the visualization technique, to put it bluntly, was nothing more than visualizing and thinking.
The difficulty of visualization lay in how real the object being visualized was.
Thinking depended on how high one's comprehension ability was.
One could visualize first and then think, or think first and then observe, and even visualize and think simultaneously. This was because there was essentially no difference between the three.
The vast majority of cultivators in this world visualized and then thought, or visualized and thought at the same time. Only an extremely small number of extremely talented people could visualize and then observe.
This was because imagining something out of thin air was only a thought in one's heart, and it was already extremely difficult to completely fix it in place and allow the Mind's Eye or the soul to see it. Moreover, one had to divide one's attention to comprehend the true meaning of the Grand Dao, and this was even more difficult.
What's more, completing such a visualization might not be a problem, but it was impossible for a person to visualize everything in one go. Then, when he wanted to visualize again, would the thing he imagined be the same as the last time he did it?
Even if a cultivator's memory was superb, as one's realm, eyesight, and state of mind changed, the thoughts in one's mind would definitely change as well. The form and spirit of the visualized object would naturally change as well.
In this way, he would lose the most important aspect of visualization, the "truth".
Thus, in the world of cultivation, so long as one was able to think first and observe later, then one's aptitude and comprehension were absolutely top-notch. As long as one didn't fall halfway, then one's final accomplishments in cultivation would definitely shock the world and be impossible to measure.
Ling Yun could do that easily. Moreover, he had seen too many things in the Cultivation World after reaching the Tribulation Stage. He had the capital to do so. Even so, Ling Yun didn't want to live and was trying his best to avoid doing so.
It was not that he couldn't figure it out, but because he had reached the Crossing Calamity Stage, he deeply understood how important "truth" was.
It was like the three realms of life: seeing a mountain as a mountain, seeing a mountain as a mountain, seeing a mountain not as a mountain, and seeing a mountain as a mountain.
What was true was true, and what was false was false. It could not be changed.
Therefore, even though Ling Yun had seen a True Dragon before and had already memorized its appearance, he was unwilling to visualize it. He would rather visualize a dead True Dragon corpse.
Therefore, to Ling Yun, the visualization technique wasn't that important. What was difficult was finding something that was worth visualizing.
If he couldn't even look at it, then what was the point of visualizing?
Therefore, Ling Yun was mainly curious about the visualization technique that Ye Xingchen was so serious about. He wanted to see what grade it was that it could make Ye Xingchen keep his mouth shut. As for whether he wanted to learn it or not, that was another matter entirely.
Since the visualization method was a cultivation method, it naturally had a wide variety and many classifications. Just like the cultivation methods of cultivators, they were also divided into high and low levels.
For example, Ling Yun's Stellar Condensation Technique and the Golden Bell Canopy and Iron Skin Technique were two body-tempering techniques. Naturally, their grades were worlds apart.
Who knew that the more indifferent Ling Yun was, the more serious Ye Xingchen's expression became. She shook her head slowly. "It's not what you think. As long as the general outline of this visualization technique leaves my mouth and enters your ears, it will be difficult for you to stop practicing it."
Ling Yun raised his eyebrows.
Was she really that overbearing?
"If that's what you're going to say, then I have no choice but to listen!"
Ye Xingchen's silence had instead aroused Ling Yun's greatest interest and fighting spirit. He had originally wanted Ye Xingchen to roughly explain the mysteries of the visualization technique before deciding whether or not to listen. But now, Ling Yun only wanted Ye Xingchen to explain it to him immediately.
"Alright!"
Ye Xingchen steeled her heart and clenched her teeth. In the end, she chose to believe in Ling Yun. "Then I'll speak. Listen carefully!"
Next, she used her heart to recite the "general outline" of the overbearing visualization technique to Ling Yun in its entirety. It was less than a thousand words, but by the time she finished, Ye Xingchen was already drenched in sweat, as if she had been drenched in water. Her pretty face was deathly pale, and mist lingered above her head.
For Ling Yun, she was willing to risk her life.
On the other side, Ling Yun had long since been dumbfounded. His entire body was completely frozen!
When Ye Xingchen first started, Ling Yun didn't think much of it. But when Ye Xingchen finished the last word, the general outline of the visualization technique actually transformed into actual words, or rather, runes. They firmly branded themselves onto Ling Yun's soul, densely packed as if they were carved by a knife.
It could be said that they had become talismans or a formation. Just like the Band-tightening Curse, he couldn't get rid of it.
Whether or not he had to practice it was still debatable, but to forget it was a fool's dream.
Ye Xingchen hadn't lied to him. The general outline of the visualization technique was indeed incomparably overbearing!
However, Ling Yun had no intention of blaming Ye Xingchen at all. On the contrary, while he was shocked, a wave of ecstasy arose in his heart!
Because this visualization technique was really too nature-defying!
From Ling Yun's point of view, this was already the most powerful visualization technique he could imagine. It was unique, and any other visualization technique would be relegated to the back burner.
So much so that it could no longer be simply described as a visualization technique. Instead, it was the legendary Great Summoning Technique!
Think before you act.
No matter what he thought about, the Dharma of the object he was thinking about would immediately appear in the starry sky of his brain. It had both form and spirit, and it was incomparably realistic. It could stand, sit, lie down, walk slowly, or turn slowly. Ling Yun could visualize it from all angles with his Heaven's Eye or Heart's Eye.
Not only could he adjust the distance of the other party according to his thoughts, but he could also see the other party's posture and movements with just a thought.
With a thought, it came and went.
Whatever he thought of, he would be able to see. Whatever he saw, his Yin Spirit would be able to transform into. He would be able to fathom its true meaning and develop its Great Dao.
There was a paragraph in the general principles that was very clear: "Observing the Demon God is the Demon God; observing the Buddha is the Buddha; observing the sun, moon, and stars is the sun, moon, and stars; observing the jade maiden, one can see the jade maiden; observing the white bones, one can see the white bones; observing the pagoda … observing the lotus … observing the earth, fire, water, wind, thunder, and lightning … observing time and space, one can see time and space; observing the Great Way, one can see the Great Way."
"My eyes are all-seeing and my mind is all-changing. Only by remaining true and unchanging can I obtain eternity. "
Simply put, the eyes could see everything, and the Yin Spirit could transform into anything, but there was a major prerequisite, and that was to guard one's heart. As long as one didn't lose oneself, one could obtain eternity. In other words, immortality!
Of course, it was extremely easy to grasp such a visualization technique. It couldn't be any easier.
Ling Yun had already understood. He didn't think too much about it and turned to look at Ye Xingchen. His gaze was deep, and he couldn't hide the pain in his heart.
"Xingchen."
"Hmm?"
Ye Xingchen was trying her best to keep her tone steady, but in reality, her body was already tottering.
"This technique is yours, isn't it? Do you still know how to use it now? "
"Of course I know how to use it. Otherwise, how could I read it to you?"
Ye Xingchen smiled sweetly at him.
"Read it to me?!" Ling Yun's figure flashed, and he went forward to embrace Ye Xingchen's delicate body. He said in a low voice, "Tell me the truth."
"Uh … You found out. Alright, this visualization technique is indeed very strange. After I read it to you, I won't know how to use it anymore."
This time, Ye Xingchen was hugged by Ling Yun, but she was as obedient as a cat. She didn't struggle at all.
Ling Yun smiled bitterly. His arms gently tightened, and he hugged Ye Xingchen tightly in his arms. He gazed into her beautiful eyes, and didn't speak for a long time.
Their love was so deep, what more could he ask for?
Reading it was just a formality.
In reality, this general principle should have been imprinted word by word on Ye Xingchen's soul, just like what Ling Yun was doing now. She had used heaven-defying methods and great willpower to tear each word from her own soul, and then sent it to Ling Yun!
Tearing one's soul a thousand times at a time. What kind of pain was that?!
To think that she could still talk and laugh, and recite the entire general principle as if nothing had happened.
Moreover, Ling Yun had already guessed that although this "general principle" was useful for visualization, it wasn't any kind of visualization technique. Instead, it was an extremely heaven-defying decree of the Great Dao!
That was why he could think of whatever he wanted, and see whatever he wanted.
If he cultivated his Yin Soul in this way, then he might not be able to keep up with the terrifying growth rate of his Yin Soul even if he cultivated as hard as he could in the future.
Of course, that was under the premise that he couldn't lose himself in the visualization and lose his heart and self.
From this point of view, it had indeed greatly increased the danger level of the Heart Stirring Period.
But at this time, Ling Yun didn't have the time to think about these things. His mind was completely focused on Ye Xingchen.
"It hurts a lot, right?"
Ling Yun asked gently.
"I could bear it just now, but I can't now." Ye Xingchen's beautiful eyes blinked. She knew she couldn't hide it anymore. Her delicate body trembled, and she couldn't help but lean her head against Ling Yun's chest.
"How can I help you?"
Ling Yun was distressed and anxious, but he didn't dare to act recklessly. He could only ask.
"Idiot."
Ye Xingchen pouted coquettishly. "I'm just in pain now. You can use Healing Talismans, or just knock me out! I'll be much better after I sleep. "
Knock her out?
Ling Yun couldn't bear to do that. He wanted nothing more than to suffer in Ye Xingchen's place. He cursed himself for thinking that Ye Xingchen was just trying to provoke him. He didn't think that she was also worried that he wouldn't be able to bear the pain of the Thousand Characters stripping away his soul.
He used nine of his best Healing Talismans in one go to relieve Ye Xingchen's pain. Then, he carried her to the bamboo building where Ye Xingchen lived. He placed her on the bed, tapped her lightly with a finger, and watched as she fell into a deep sleep.
After Ye Xingchen had fallen asleep, Ling Yun left quietly and went straight to the peak of Soaring Cloud Mountain. He drew three hundred Healing Talismans in one go, all of which were supreme-grade talismans that could be used directly on the soul. Only then did he return to Ye Xingchen's bedside.
After that, Ling Yun didn't do anything else but stay by Ye Xingchen's bedside. Every once in a while, he would use a talisman on her. Of course, he didn't forget to use it on his injured soul.
Just like that, the two of them, one sitting, one sleeping, one waking up, accompanied each other until dawn.
