When he was in the Glass Palace, the absurd incident had distracted Fang Xing. Many changes had happened unknowingly. Countless opportunities had been added to his body, so much so that he could not even tell what changes had happened to him. What he could be sure of was that when Yin and Yang were in harmony, there was an indescribable pure Yin energy that brought about a mysterious change in him. This change was so great that it even affected his foundation.
If he were to return to the Blue Cloud Sect now, his aptitude would not be graded as a D grade no matter what.
When he looked inside himself with his divine will, he could see that outside of the eight extraordinary meridians in his body, there was a faint line that led to the top of his head and connected to the bottom of his body. It seemed that after that night, a ninth meridian had mysteriously appeared in his body.
Apart from that, one could vaguely see a red crystal in this meridian.
Fang Xing was no stranger to this kind of crystal. He had seen it before. It was an existence similar to Spirit Essence. Cultivators could refine the purest supreme-grade Spirit Stones into something that surpassed supreme-grade Spirit Stones in terms of quality. It was known as Spirit Essence, and it was a resource used by cultivators in the Golden Elixir realm. And in Fang Xing's body, there was also such a thing.
Fang Xing was aware of the origin of this Spirit Essence. After that absurd night, the Nine-nine Anti-Spirit Pill in his body had disappeared. It was obvious that he had absorbed a large amount of Spirit Qi at that time. Thinking back, he also vaguely remembered that when he was in the clear pool, the cultivation in his body had automatically activated, as if he had absorbed an indescribably large amount of Spirit Qi into his body.
This large amount of Spirit Qi should have leaked out, but because of the harmony of Yin and Yang at that moment, Fang Xing's physique had changed, causing a ninth meridian to appear in his body. Therefore, the large amount of Spirit Qi did not leak out. Instead, under the power of the fusion of the Primordial Yin energy and the pure Yang body, the Spirit Qi surged into the ninth meridian, turning into an existence similar to a crystal.
To put it simply, Fang Xing had moved a spirit meridian into his body.
However, it would not be appropriate to say that he had moved it in himself. It should be said that the Dragon Lady had given him a spirit meridian. This was the precious part of the Dragon Lady's Primordial Yin dragon body. The harmony of Yin and Yang had endless uses. It was not just for show!
"No wonder the Dragon Lady chased after me without wearing shoes. Did I absorb the spirit meridian of the Thousand Flowing Sea all at once..."
Fang Xing thought about it carefully and took out another storage bag. Inside it were all the good things he had picked out from the Glass Palace treasury. Together with the Mountain Treasure and the Fusang Wood, it could be said that he had cleaned out all the good treasures in the Glass Palace. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed. After Fourth Uncle plucked the flowers, he would leave a few golden leaves for others. How could he have cleaned out the treasury?
After thinking for a while, he decided not to think about it anymore. In any case, the Dragon race was good at accumulating wealth. Perhaps, he would become a rich woman in a few days!
With the existence of the spirit meridian in his body, Fang Xing did not have to worry about the replenishment of spirit qi. He did not have to worry about the spirit qi needed for cultivation anymore. Instead, he followed the Dharmic formulation that the Lotus Girl had taught him and completed the True Samadhi Fire.
He took out the lamp that he had carefully stored. It was sparkling inside but it was the flames of lust of the Red Society cultivators.
Sitting cross-legged, he focused and calmed himself down. After a long time, Fang Xing's mind was as calm as an ancient well. Only then did he comprehend the flames of lust.
This was the comprehension Dharmic formulation that the Lotus Girl had imparted to him.
He did not take out so many flames of lust to absorb them but to comprehend them.
The True Samadhi Fire was the Samadhi of humans. It was also one of the three most difficult origins for human cultivators to refine.
When cultivators transcended the Nine Tribulations, they could use the power of lightning to refine all emotions. However, if they could not refine Samadhi, they would condense into True Flames instead.
The Samadhi was anger, lust, and wish!
In the cultivation world, for thousands of years, countless sages and predecessors had different understandings of the Samadhi.
Some people believed that the Samadhi was the source of evil and would evolve into three poisons, which were greed, anger, and foolishness. They were hard to eliminate and hard to get rid of, causing people to do all kinds of evil deeds. The most famous one was the Buddhist Sect. The Buddhist Sect emphasized on the tranquility of the six roots, and the existence of these three poisons was the root of evil that the Buddhist Sect hated the most. They believed that it was the source of the calamity and evolved all kinds of methods to eliminate this disaster.
However, there were also people who believed that the Samadhi Origin was the root of the Human Tribe's prosperity. Anger made people fearless, desire made people flourish, and willingness made people unwilling. It was precisely under the stimulation of the Samadhi Origin that the Human Tribe gradually rose up in the difficult environment of the ancient times where there were many demons in the forest. They actually suppressed the ferocious demons and demons, unified the world in one fell swoop, created the Great Dao of all worlds, and became the king of all races.
One wanted to eliminate the Samadhi, the other wanted to make good use of it. They had different ideologies, and in the end, they were like water and fire, and the result was the destruction of Buddhism.
After several battles, the Buddhist Sect disappeared from Tianyuan, and only the Lingshan Temple was left. It was not the true Buddha as described in the ancient records, but it was only acting in the name of Buddha.
In any case, the True Samadhi Fire was one of the most worth exploring in the world.
By chance, Fang Xing obtained the Raging Flame from the Enigmatic Coffin and the Flame of Will from the Mysterious Domain Foundation-Cleansing Pill. He had already obtained two of the True Samadhi Fire. What he needed to do now was to ignite the third True Samadhi Fire through his understanding of the fire of desire to complete the Samadhi.
A bit of the fire of desire wrapped around his fingertip, and his divine sense tangled with the fire of desire. A strange feeling immediately arose in Fang Xing's heart.
For a moment, he suddenly thought of the many women he knew. There were all kinds of them, and they flew through his mind like a carousel. There was Xiao Man, Dragon Lady, Xu Lingyun, Ying Qiaoqiao, Chu Ci, and even the three fairies of the Northern Divine Mountain. There were even some women he had forgotten, such as Qin Xing 'er and the others he met in the Blue Cloud Sect. He didn't know how she was doing.
He had tasted the feelings of men and women, so he naturally understood what this feeling of restlessness was.
It was a power that could hollow out a person's heart, and also a power that could overwhelm a person's spirituality.
It was one of the most instinctive powers of humans, the most primal tremors and impulses.
At this moment, Fang Xing suddenly became sentimental, and his longing for the women he knew was intense.
He even wanted to immediately rush out of the cave abode and think of every way possible to return to the Sinkhole to see them from afar.
Under these impulses, Fang Xing sat cross-legged on the ground. A thin layer of sweat seeped out of his small face, as if he was being roasted by poisonous fire.
He didn't try to suppress the thought, nor did he try to expel it from his mind. Instead, he sensed it, bit by bit. He sensed the most primitive power rising up within him. He sensed the changes in his thoughts and his body. He even sensed the changes in his eight extraordinary meridians and the five elements. He studied his body thoroughly, over and over again.
This was undoubtedly a very torturous process, but even though he knew it was torturous, he had to persevere.
People said that cultivation was the path of defying the heavens. To put it bluntly, the heavens did not offend you, so why do you have to defy them? In fact, the heavens here referred to human nature. Everything in the world had its own laws and nature. Most living beings were driven by nature. When they were hungry, they ate, they slept. When they were interested, they went out to find a partner. When they encountered a powerful opponent, they fled.
If they couldn't, they resigned themselves to fate. Only a few races, after developing spirituality, would have doubts about all of this. After having doubts, they would decide on their own to do certain things, and not be controlled by nature. For example, cultivators would forcibly resist the restlessness in their bodies, pursue a calm mind, and comprehend the universe. They would endure the tearing sensation in their bodies to break through and pursue a higher realm of their physique …
Because they did not obey nature, they would improve. This was defying the heavens to become an immortal.
Of course, if one were to consider it from a deeper level, these rebellious actions were actually controlled by a deeper level of impulses. Those deeper levels of impulses were also human nature, but this belonged to another realm.
The predecessors had already explained this realm and named it: the unity of heaven and man.
This deeper realm was not something that Fang Xing had yet to come into contact with. His comprehension was still at a relatively shallow realm, which was defying nature.
To cultivate against the heavens was to go against nature.
To go against nature, one had to first understand one's own nature.
The torturous time passed by. Fang Xing sat cross-legged on the ground, like a dead man, meditating motionlessly.
Outside, the simple cave residence that he had set up had long been buried by fallen leaves. The crazy dragon with a pierced nose, because of its natural intimacy, lay in front of the cave residence all day, waiting for him in boredom. Sometimes, when Fang Xing's breath returned to silence, the crazy dragon could no longer be suppressed and would become irritable. It would run to the surrounding territories to find fierce beasts to fight, loosen its muscles, and also eat a full meal.
However, no matter how far it ran, it would eventually return to the place where the cave residence could no longer be seen. It lay in front of the cave entrance and waited for Fang Xing to come out. That obedient and loyal appearance was not like a dragon at all, but a big dog with scales.
The time of this retreat was far beyond Fang Xing's expectations. It was more than a year. It was Lotus Girl's fault for not warning him. He thought that with the method and the fire of desire, it would be a very simple thing to comprehend and complete the True Samadhi Fire. However, he did not expect that this kind of deep meditation and comprehension was a very mysterious thing. It could easily lead to death …
After an unknown period of time, the cave residence was completely covered by fallen leaves and branches. There was almost no trace of its existence, and Fang Xing's breath also gradually disappeared. The crazy dragon lying in front of the cave gradually became alert. It had already noticed that Fang Xing's breath was different from before. It was really gradually disappearing, and this made it extremely irritable. In the end, it let out a roar …
"Roar …"
The dragon's roar was like thunder, mixed with the royal dragon's power. It frightened the weak fierce beasts in the surrounding mountains to lie on the ground, shivering. They also penetrated into the ground, and some reptiles that were hibernating deep in the soil were awakened in fear. They all fled into the distance …
It was also when this dragon roar sounded that Fang Xing, who was deep in the cave residence, suddenly opened his eyes and took a deep breath.
