After the heavy snow, there were a few sunny days. The dark clouds dispersed and the night sky revealed sparse dots of stars, but it was far from the bright Milky Way on a summer night.
"The spirit resides in the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court is the home of the gods, the spiritual platform of the Buddhas. Visualize the Qi of the heavenly stars penetrating into the head, inch by inch, combining with the spirit, regenerating the illusion, the spirit can feel cool, hot, sour, and spicy. You can also see the Heavenly Palace, the Asura evil spirits, the heavenly ladies, the Bodhisattvas, the gods of heaven and earth, the ancient sages, you can also feel that you have fallen into samsara, you can also feel the killing in battle, you can feel the warmth of a jade, you can feel the kindness of a father and mother, you can feel your martial prowess, you can overturn rivers and seas, you can also feel your body rotting and bones piling up. All these illusions, don't care about them, calm your mind and visualize a Buddha in the void, named Amitabha, forming the Amitabha Dharma Mudra, this Buddha is the true face of all living beings in heaven and earth, protecting the original thoughts, not being moved by anything, can avoid disasters. Suddenly feel the Qi of the heavenly stars has touched the spirit, with a great force pulling it upwards, you have the feeling of ascension, at this moment, you have to calm your mind and let it float in your body. You must not let the true meaning go out of your body, all these are just illusions … "
At midnight, when there was no one around and it was completely silent, Hong Yi stood in the middle of his own courtyard and raised his head to look at the sparse stars in the sky. He took a few deep glances, then closed his eyes and began to recite the cultivation method in the scripture.
After a day, he had roughly understood the scripture in the Amitabha Sutra, one of the original methods to strengthen the spirit.
He silently read it and felt that he had completely understood the meaning of the scripture.
There was a simple mat on the ground. Hong Yi sat on it and looked up at the sky, concentrating and memorizing. After the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, he seemed to have memorized all the stars in the sky. He suddenly closed his eyes and imitated the Amitabha Sutra in the middle of the Amitabha Sutra. He crossed his hands in front of his abdomen, his thumbs facing each other, forming the Amitabha Dharma Mudra.
After visualizing the starry sky in his mind and closing his eyes, Hong Yi sat quietly, imagining the starlight shining down from the sky, pouring into his head, inch by inch.
Because Hong Yi had the experience of cultivating the [Pagoda Visualization Method], he could also calm his mind. When he calmed down, there were no distracting thoughts. Cultivating the method of strengthening the soul in the [Amitabha Sutra] was not very difficult.
At the same time, he was familiar with the Taoist scriptures, so he knew that the cultivation method of the soul was basically visualization, making the false real.
Although visualizing the Heavenly Star Radiance was like imagining that there was a plum in one's mouth, the mouth would be full of saliva. In reality, there was no plum in one's mouth, it was just an illusion.
But this kind of illusion could cause all kinds of reactions in the Divine Soul and even the body.
Hong Yi sat for the time it took for an incense stick to burn, visualizing and gradually entering the state.
In his imagination, all the stars in the sky twinkled from the incomparably distant void, shooting down endless rays of light. All of them landed on the top of his head, drilling into it inch by inch.
Once the illusionary starlight entered his brain, it had only reached the epidermis. Hong Yi suddenly felt his whole body cool, as if he was bathing in a cool breeze. All the pores in his body breathed in fresh air, making him feel like he was floating and extremely comfortable.
This kind of comfortable feeling made Hong Yi feel so comfortable that he moaned. This kind of comfort went deep into his bones, just like the "Longevity Ointment" that some aristocrats of the previous dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty described in the Cottage's notes.
This kind of comfortable feeling, even Martial Warriors, Martial Masters, and even Xiantian Martial Masters and Grandmasters couldn't resist the temptation. Hong Yi also had a feeling of intoxication.
Fortunately, he had read the scriptures and knew that visualizing the Heavenly Star Radiance entering the brain would produce many illusions, such as a cool breeze blowing on the body and feeling like he was floating. This was the first feeling.
Just as he was about to be intoxicated, Hong Yi became alert and suddenly visualized a golden Buddha in the starry sky. It was kind and amiable, as if it was his previous life thousands of lifetimes ago.
This Buddha was the Buddha in the Amitabha Sutra.
The sutra said that visualizing this Amitabha Buddha could suppress all kinds of mental demons and understand one's true appearance thousands of lifetimes ago.
However, Hong Yi knew that what the sutra said was not an exaggeration. This was because the painting of this Buddha had condensed all the scriptures of Buddhism into it.
Not to mention the Buddha, just the figure in the painting was already the peak of painting. This kind of realm was comparable to the Human Immortal of the Martial Dao and the Yang Spirit of the Immortal Dao.
Hong Yi had a feeling that if Hakuziyue saw this Buddha, he would probably be able to improve further without cultivating the sutra.
As soon as this Buddha appeared in the starry sky in his mind, immediately! All of Hong Yi's comfortable feelings disappeared, and he regained his senses.
The world was still the world.
There was no starlight entering his body, everything was an illusion.
"What a powerful illusion … Fortunately, I can visualize Amitabha Buddha, otherwise I would be intoxicated in it. It's extremely dangerous. "
However, Hong Yi knew that if he hadn't visualized Amitabha Buddha in time just now, he would probably have been intoxicated by the feeling of the breeze entering his body and wouldn't have been able to protect himself. He might even have gone crazy in the future.
Cultivating the soul, visualizing, guarding, and wholeheartedly immersing himself in it. The real was fake, and the fake was real. If he lost control of his mind, he would immediately be doomed. The danger of cultivation was even greater than that of martial arts.
"With the experience just now, I won't be afraid if I try again."
Hong Yi calmed down again, sat quietly, formed a seal, and visualized the starlight entering his brain.
Sure enough, when the starlight entered his skin, his whole body was surrounded by a breeze, and he felt comfortable.
With the experience, Hong Yi didn't care anymore. He tried his best to calm his mind and continued to visualize step by step. Sure enough, when the starlight entered his brain and penetrated his skin, the illusion changed again. This time, his whole body was in pain, and he had a splitting headache. Then, all kinds of sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy feelings surged into his heart.
Hong Yi still guarded his mind tightly.
Suddenly, another feeling came. In front of him, evil spirits were everywhere. Asuras, Yakshas, and demons surrounded him. It was as if all of them wanted to pounce on him and drink his blood.
Hong Yi seemed to have fallen into the Asura Hell. There seemed to be all kinds of mournful cries echoing in his ears.
He didn't care and guarded his mind tightly.
Suddenly, it changed again. It was as if he had fallen into a land of gentleness. There were beautiful women everywhere, and their wonderful parts were faintly discernible.
Hong Yi resisted the temptation.
Suddenly, it changed again. There were killings everywhere, mountains of corpses, seas of blood, and he was in the middle of a battlefield.
Hong Yi guarded himself tightly again.
Suddenly, his whole body started to rot. There were flies, mosquitoes, and maggots crawling all over his body.
Hong Yi still guarded himself tightly. In that instant, he understood what life and death meant. The fear in his heart disappeared.
The illusion changed in a hundred ways. All of a sudden!
Boom!
The starlight he visualized seemed to have fused with his spirit. Hong Yi felt an irresistible force coming from the void in the sky. It pulled his spirit out of his body and floated towards the sky.
This feeling was very real and very good. It was as if he had gone through a lot of hardships and overcome eighty-one difficulties. He had finally passed the final stage and ascended.
Hong Yi's spirit couldn't help but be pulled out of his body by this force. It wanted to float towards the sky.
At this critical moment, suddenly, the Maitreya Buddha from his previous life appeared in the starry sky.
The spirit that wanted to leave his body and ascend to the sky calmed down.
After Hong Yi woke up, he was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat.
"So the illusion at the final stage is so powerful! Indeed, after going through a lot of hardships and hardships, I finally reached my goal. The desire to ascend to the sky is something no one can control. Even if it's a Sage. "
Hong Yi knew that if his spirit really left his body and floated up to the sky, it would be scattered by now. Even if he cultivated to the level of Ghost Immortal, if his spirit floated up to the sky, it would be blown away by the wind.
The last feeling of ascending to the sky was the illusion of the final stage.
Hong Yi sat down again and tried this visualization method again.
This time, with more experience, it was easy to overcome all kinds of illusions. Hong Yi once again tried the feeling of his spirit being pulled out of his body by a force from the sky.
Therefore, he tried his best to fight against this force.
He felt his spirit sinking and floating in his body, like a drowning person struggling.
Finally, Hong Yi was exhausted. With a bang, his thoughts scattered and his whole body felt like it was going to sleep immediately.
He knew that his spirit had consumed too much energy. It was like thinking too much while reading.
"I can't sleep in the courtyard, or I'll freeze to death."
Forcing himself to support his body, Hong Yi almost crawled into the room and lay on the bed. He covered himself with a blanket and fell asleep immediately. He fell into a deep sleep.
The supreme man had no dreams.
When he woke up, it was already dawn.
The bright sunlight shone through the window. Hong Yi only felt that his mind was sharp and his whole body was so refreshed that he wanted to sing.
For four or five nights in a row, Hong Yi practiced the visualization method of the Amitabha Sutra.
Suddenly, one night, Hong Yi lit a stick of incense in the room and occasionally tried to leave his spirit body.
As soon as he left his body and came into contact with the outside world, Hong Yi had a strong desire to swim in the water like a person who had just learned how to swim.
According to the records in the Daoist scriptures, Hakuziyue also said that after the soul left the body, this desire would reach the realm of night wandering.
Hong Yi tried to leave the range of the incense.
As expected, there was no longer the feeling of powerlessness and coldness. Instead, there was a comfortable feeling of swimming.
His interest was piqued. Hong Yi's soul floated out of the door.
Wandering at night!
He finally reached the realm of night wandering.
