Zhang Yan stood in the hall, slowly comprehending everything that appeared in the jade slip.
The records left here were about where to go after becoming a True Yang cultivator, but there was no specific cultivation method in it.
The cultivation of a True Yang cultivator could be called the path of the heart. As long as one was in a place where one's Qi was spread, one's thoughts could be reflected in the world. Simply put, it was like the ability of mortals to have their wishes come true.
For example, the evil monster from before had this ability. However, it was only a wisp of Qi, and it could only affect mortals and some low-level cultivators. True experts did not have such restrictions. So on the surface, as long as there was enough Qi, a True Yang cultivator could do almost anything. Because of this, from this point onwards, there seemed to be no fixed rules and no path to climb. From the jade slip, only by seeing through the obstacles and seeing the Heavenly Dao could one use great benefits and make the void see oneself.
However, this was only a general explanation of the Dao, pointing out the next step. As for how to do it, there was no detailed explanation, so one could only rely on one's own comprehension.
Zhang Yan could see that no matter how one cultivated, the foundation was still Qi. Although he had the Sea of Qi to rely on and did not need to worry about a lack of resources, from this point of view, he could only maintain his current cultivation. If he wanted to improve his cultivation and climb to the higher realms, just relying on this was probably not enough. The opportunity should be outside, not inside.
Fu Qingming once said that if he wanted to have such a desire, he needed to be in Bu Xu Tian, but if he did so, he would inevitably clash with those Xiantian demons. He pondered for a moment, but did not rush to a conclusion. Instead, he turned his head and took a look. Then he walked to the other side and flipped through the jade slip.
When this scroll entered his hand, he could not help but raise his eyebrows. This was also related to cultivation methods, but it described the many consequences of cultivation going astray.
A True Yang cultivator could make everything turn according to their heart. It could be imagined that in this realm for a long time, most people would lose their reverence for heaven and earth.
However, in this way, distracting thoughts would arise frequently. Every once in a while, there would be vital energy that would gain intelligence and appear in the world. Most of them were evil and filthy, and they acted in an unbridled manner.
If it was within one's own territory, no one would care even if they brought endless calamities to their subordinates. However, if they offended one of their own, it would not be so easy to deal with. In fact, it might even lead to a war between the two sides.
Seeing this, Yang Kai couldn't help nodding. It was no wonder that Fu Qingming had repeatedly warned him that he had to have the right thoughts when breaking through to the True Yang realm.
Since this matter was mentioned in the jade slip, there must be a solution. He withdrew his thoughts and continued to read.
According to what was written, these doppelgangers were born from the cultivator's Qi Machine. If all the karma and calamities were planted in the outside world, then in the end, it would more or less implicate the main body. At first, it would not feel much, but later on, it would accumulate more and more, and this generation's cultivation would also become higher and higher. Therefore, it must be killed in time.
However, killing the Qi Machine avatars was still not enough. This would not solve the problem from the root. Therefore, there was only one way, and that was to cut off all thoughts and desires and step onto the Heartless Path. In this way, not a single thought existed, not a single thought, and completely cut off the source of the external manifestation of Qi Machine. He would only do things that were in line with his own interests.
Zhang Yan thought about it. This was somewhat similar to killing one's mortal heart in the Paradise. It could even be said to be of the same origin, but it was done in a more extreme manner. This could be said to be a hidden danger that had been left behind on the path of cultivation. Unless he destroyed it and started over, it could not be truly eradicated.
He did not want to walk this path. Firstly, he had walked every step to the extreme, and when breaking through to the True Yang realm, there were almost no distracting thoughts. Even if he only had one avatar, it had to agree with the main body, just like a teacher to a junior, so there was no such problem.
Secondly, it seemed that the Emotion Severing Method had solved all the problems, and there was no need to worry about being involved in unnecessary karma. However, the purpose of cultivation was to seek transcendence. If he even abandoned all his emotions, he would not be considered as his original self. Even if he achieved the Dao, he would at most be a puppet under the Great Dao.
He shook his head. Seeing that there were other discussions below, he skipped this section and continued reading.
The other solution mentioned here was to make use of the avatars and make them work for the main body. Furthermore, he could provoke the avatars to fight with each other. In this way, he could control the situation within a tolerable range, and he would not need to walk the Heartless Path anymore.
It was a good idea, but it was actually not easy to do it. No mistakes were allowed in the process, and there might even be problems that one could not imagine. The most realistic thing was that if he encountered an external enemy in the process, or if the enemy used this against him, then internal and external troubles would come at him at the same time. If he did not handle it well, he might be destroyed. In comparison, it was not unreasonable to choose the Heartless Path, because it would solve the problem once and for all.
Zhang Yan smiled. Even though there were many drawbacks to this technique, there were gains and losses. As for which one was better, it was difficult to judge unless one personally experienced it.
The various obstacles that one might encounter were all left behind, and the records were very detailed. If there was no accident, it should be the experience and comprehension left behind by someone of the same generation in the past. Since it was recorded here, it should be related to the Great Underworld Ancestral Master or his disciples.
However, after sensing for a while, he could not find any trace of its existence.
Logically speaking, as long as there were traces left behind by a True Yang cultivator, if it was seen by another True Yang cultivator, then there would definitely be a connection between the two. Unless the person's power was so great that he could not see through it, it would mean that the person was already dead.
He did not think that this person had climbed to a higher realm. When he looked at this method, he did not have the same feeling as when he came into contact with the ancestral master's aura. Moreover, the method of such a great expert should not easily appear here, but should have been raised high up.
He looked at the jade slip again and sighed in his heart. Mortal Metamorphosis cultivators could still search for their past through searching the Divine Will, but True Yang cultivators themselves were above the past and the future. What the world could see was only a part of them. Once they died, even if they could find some traces of their past, it would be meaningless because there was no way to trace them back to their original body. So whether this person died because there was something wrong with his method, or because he encountered some other trouble, there was no way to verify it now.
At the end of this record, there were a few ways to deal with the incarnations of distracting thoughts, but they were all similar. In short, the greatest enemy that a True Yang cultivator had to face was themselves, and their peers were ranked second.
After he read all of them, although he still did not know where the right path was, these were after all the experiences of the predecessors. After knowing some of the drawbacks, he could avoid them in the future.
He placed down the jade slip in his hand and allowed it to vanish before taking a step forward and arriving before another cave. He took another jade slip, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but feel refreshed. This place was finally related to how to comprehend the profound Dao and improve one's cultivation.
Just like before, there was no method of cultivation. It only mentioned how to find the path forward.
When he looked at it one by one, one of the ideas caught his attention. The person who proposed it believed that the order of the Great Dao was nothing more than to observe the heavens and comprehend oneself. It could create a world, move external methods into it, observe the changes of all things, the mysteries of the world, the reflection of the inside and the outside, and find that thread of operation.
If a True Yang cultivator wanted to create a world, it would no longer be a small world. It would be no different from a world created by creation. Everything in this world, from the smallest things to the smallest things, such as the sun, moon, and stars, would need to be evolved by a single force.
Zhang Yan felt that this was very interesting. With his current cultivation, the act of opening a world was not difficult. Moreover, if he could create living beings, he would not be able to comprehend the wonderful Dao from them. When this person's cultivation reached a certain level, he could still listen to them, so it was very worth a try.
"Right now, this Small World is useless to me, but after this matter is over, I can open another world and create all things."
In addition to this method, there was actually another practical method, and that was to discuss the Dao with people of the same Dao.
However, this was not easy to do. True Yang cultivators would avoid each other, and from Fu Qingming's memories, since the creation of the universe, there were not many people who had reached this level of cultivation, so it was even more difficult to find them, unless there was a relationship between them.
He raised his head, but he could not help but think of the previous Sect Masters of the Qincang School who had ascended from the nine continents. He did not know where these seniors had gone, and he did not know if there were still True Yang cultivators under the Great Underworld Patriarch.
Speaking of which, he could now observe the nine continents and find the place where the patriarchs of the nine continents had ascended to. However, every time he thought about this, there seemed to be an indescribable feeling in his heart, as if telling him that the time was not right. Therefore, after thinking about it, he did not do it, and only waited for fate to arrive in the future.
After staying in this cave for a day, he had almost looked through most of the jade slips that had appeared. There was only one place that he hadn't touched. The cave niche there was extremely narrow, and there was only half a jade slip left. It was extremely inconspicuous, unlike the other places that were dazzling and enshrouded by dense Qi.
Even so, he could still feel that the things recorded within were extremely extraordinary. Therefore, when he saw it earlier, he did not go forward to flip through it, and instead left it at the end.
The order in which he flipped through the secret booklet was not random, but followed a mysterious feeling in the dark. Of course, it was also possible that everything he could see had already been arranged, and no matter what he chose, the result would be the same.
When these two were put together, it seemed to be somewhat contradictory, but in fact, it was not. Because the choice was still made by him in the end, and if he did not move, then there would be no result.
He stretched out his hand and took out the half incomplete jade slip, and his eyes couldn't help but flicker slightly when he looked at it. Because what was mentioned here was actually the method to kill one's peers!
