Chapter 188: Boundless Sea of Heart
Outside Yunhai Pavilion.

All the spectators were looking at the stone tablet that displayed the battle record of Chuangxin Haige. The shock on their faces not long ago had not yet faded, but now they were shocked to the point of being speechless.

All this was because on this heart monument, Zhong Lixiao's name, which was already extremely high on the list, jumped to the top.

What is the concept?
Baiyun Temple has been established for thousands of years and has numerous geniuses, but Zhong Lixiao defeated all the chosen ones and successfully made it to the top of the list.

Everyone at the scene was shocked, and at the same time, they all started to get excited.

Without a doubt, this is a witness to history!
"Uncle Zhong is too amazing. He has even surpassed the Venerable Master in his achievements at Xinhai Pavilion. This is simply unimaginable!"

The person who said this still felt like he was dreaming.

Many of those who heard this were also confused.

Everyone knows that the achievements of the War God Temple, Floating Cloud Tower, and Heart Sea Pavilion essentially represent more talent and potential.

It cannot truly represent a state of mind, nor is it absolutely equivalent to future achievements.

but.

Potential is potential, and it has the possibility of being realized.

Especially the Xinhai Pavilion, which represents all aspects of spiritual awareness, consciousness, perseverance, understanding, and character, and is the most valuable.

Once Zhong Lixiao grows up, he might become the second Venerable of Baiyun Temple in the future.

In just a short time, Zhong Lixiao became the focus of everyone's discussion.

Not to mention the disciples, even the higher-ups of Baiyun Temple who were watching secretly were looking at each other in bewilderment, some unable to sit still.

"I thought that spiritual awareness would be Li Xiao's weakness, but I never thought that spiritual awareness is actually his strongest point!"

"Indeed, judging from the feedback from the pillars beside the Heart Monument, Li Xiao must have some shortcomings in his spiritual awareness. Could he be researching the Heart Sea Pavilion?"

Everyone looked at each other again.

If you think about it this way, it’s really possible!
Geniuses are all arrogant.

Of course, their ideas are very different from those of ordinary people.

Many actions of geniuses seem incomprehensible to ordinary people, and they even seem like crazy.

but.

There is often only a fine line between genius and madness!
Only when those geniuses succeed, and people get rid of their prejudices, will they discover that every idea of the genius is like a stroke of genius.

What's worse, many of the wonderful methods in the world of immortal cultivation today may just be a brilliant idea that a genius came up with at a certain moment.

Could it be that Zhong Lixiao was really researching Xinhai Pavilion, and succeeded in his research? !

The more the senior officials of Baiyun Temple thought about it, the more incredible it seemed to them, but this was also the most reasonable explanation.

"I just don't know what Li Xiao has researched?"

Even though they have reached a high level and have been in high positions for many years, many people still cannot sit still.

This is Xinhai Pavilion, one of the oldest heritage sites of Baiyun Temple.

Even Venerable Fuyun went through this when he was young, so you can imagine how long ago it happened.

"It's really curious, but it's a bit too high-profile!"

"You're right. It's a bit too high-profile. I'm afraid Li Xiao will have a lot of trouble in the future."

Zhong Lixiao's identity as the master of supernatural powers is already eye-catching enough, and now that such a terrifying talent has been revealed, how can other sects sit still?

Not to mention the big forces that are hostile to Baiyun Temple, I'm afraid that some forces that are very friendly to Baiyun Temple may find it difficult to sit still.

With just a few words, many high-level officials of Baiyun Temple reached some consensus tacitly.

The talent and ability shown by Zhong Lixiao are worthy of more policy and resource support.

Even some of the sect's traditional security measures could be arranged to the highest level for Zhong Lixiao.

Everything has its pros and cons, and this is one of the benefits of exposing your qualifications.

Although it is not as safe as Gou Daoliu, but when you are excellent to a certain level, the sect you are established in will also provide you with various secret protections and allocate resources to you.

What even the top leaders of Baiyun Temple did not know was that from the "Floating Cloud Peak", the highest point of Floating Cloud Mountain, a very rare glance was cast towards the location of Xinhai Pavilion.

of course.

It was just a quick glance.

But it was this quick glance that made the name Zhong Lixiao enter the eyes of Venerable Fuyun for the first time.

Venerable Floating Cloud Bai Tingyuan knew that a young genius like Zhong Lixiao had appeared in the sect.

But soon, Venerable Fuyun's gaze turned to a high mountain on the northwestern border of Da Chu.

Looking at this mountain, the smile on Bai Tingyuan's face became more and more intense.

The battle between Baiyun Temple and Qianren Hall is almost over.

Zhong Lixiao naturally had no idea what was happening outside Floating Cloud Pavilion.

but.

He doesn't have the energy to pay attention to those things now!

All this was because of the "treasure" he finally caught. Even Zhong Lixiao did not expect that the essence of this treasure was actually a heritage.

The name of the inheritance is "Boundless Sea of Heart", which is a set of secret methods for cultivating spiritual consciousness.

The inheritance was directly imprinted into his soul in the form of "painted wall".

As the inheritance and more information were received, Zhong Lixiao realized that the inheritance of "Boundless Sea of Heart" was essentially a picture of Tao.

It is drawn by countless innate Taoist patterns and is extremely mysterious.

Even though Zhong Lixiao had already inherited this Taoist diagram, he could only see a very small part of it.

As he explored, Zhong Lixiao realized that the Dao diagram of "Infinite Sea of Mind" is essentially divided into nine levels, and every three levels is a great realm.

For example, the first three levels essentially rely on the inheritance in the Dao diagram to polish and strengthen one's own spiritual consciousness bit by bit.

Eventually, little by little, the sea of consciousness becomes as vast as the ocean.

When you reach the third level, you can begin to rebuild your own sea of consciousness by referring to the special structure of "Infinite Sea of Mind".

Every drop of water in the sea of consciousness begins to become completely different, possessing unparalleled "self" characteristics.

At this level, the sea of consciousness possesses an extremely terrifying assimilation property.

Once an external enemy launches a spiritual attack on oneself, one can use the powerful assimilation ability of the sea of ​​heart to devour, assimilate, digest and absorb the spiritual consciousness that has invaded the sea of ​​consciousness.

And based on this powerful foundation, one can even actively perform some "God Devouring" secret techniques.

And because every drop of sea water has a very complete structure, it would be very easy to practice the secret art of distraction.

As for practicing the "soul seal" type control and enslavement type soul-related secret techniques, they are far more powerful than similar techniques.

because.

The "soul seal" cast by the secret technique of "Boundless Sea of Heart" will quickly assimilate the spiritual consciousness in the original sea of consciousness of the controlled person.

It is like a drop of ink. Once it is dropped into clean water, the clean water will be immediately "polluted" by it.

Knowing that the secret technique of "Boundless Sea of Heart" was so domineering and evil, even Zhong Lixiao was shocked.

What is the origin of this secret technique?
Why does it feel a bit like a magical secret technique?!
Even so, this is still not the limit of the secret technique of "Boundless Sea of Heart".

Once one reaches the third level, one can perform a secret technique called "Heart Sea Tribulation Wave".

This method is invisible and intangible, and can directly attack the opponent's sea of consciousness through the flesh.

It is called a "disaster wave", but it has the power of a landslide or tsunami.

If the difference in spiritual awareness between the two sides is quite large, it can instantly cause endless disasters to the enemy's sea of consciousness, and the sea of consciousness may collapse instantly.

As for reaching the fourth to sixth levels, according to the explanation of this Taoist diagram, it is said that one can communicate with the "sea of heaven".

This made Zhong Lixiao frown!

This is too vague, nothing is explained clearly.

The description of the state of mind is even more like "wandering in the void" and "being in harmony with the Tao", which makes people completely confused.

As for the seventh to ninth levels, it was directly written "Heaven and Earth are of one mind" and "People's will and Heaven's will".

This is too weird!
Just when he was still feeling a little confused, a warning appeared in his mind.

The meaning of the warning was very simple, which was to warn him not to reveal the existence of this secret method.

but.

The form of warning is a kind of oath, which, if violated, may even lead to natural disasters.

After receiving this warning, Zhong Lixiao felt a sense of crisis in his heart.

This suddenly made him feel a chill in his heart, and he realized that this oath was most likely true.

Violation will directly trigger divine punishment. What a horrible method!

In this world, monks also know about the existence of the oath.

I also know that in the dark, this oath rule is indeed true, and there is indeed punishment.

But this kind of punishment affects more the inner demons.

As long as the cultivator wants to continue to advance on the path, this "inner demon" will most likely sublimate into some kind of enemy that blocks the path, and will eventually fail to break through, leading to death.

but.

If someone's faith in Taoism is strong enough, or if he is lucky enough to obtain some treasures that can control his inner demons, the settlement of the oath of Taoism can be eliminated.

There are even some cultivators who know that there is no hope and completely let themselves go, and it is highly likely that Daoshi will be unable to do anything to them.

If one wants to strengthen the ability to settle accounts with this oath, one needs to practice special secret techniques.

Or simply use some secret treasure to truly turn this oath into a means of settlement.

but.

There are very few people who truly understand this method.

Secret treasures with such clearing rules are even rarer.

But the inheritance of "Boundless Sea of Mind" can be done!

Even with the help of Xinhai Pavilion, it fully reflects that the level of Xinhai Pavilion is much higher than imagined.

All these reflect from the side the importance and power of the secret technique of the Yuanshen God "Boundless Sea of Heart". This time we really found a treasure!
Zhong Lixiao was extremely excited.

I started to comprehend it immediately.

One has to admit that the environment of Xinhai Pavilion is simply a holy place for spiritual cultivation.

Zhong Lixiao immersed himself in it wholeheartedly, his entire sea of consciousness following the evolution of the Dao diagram, and he was completely immersed in it for a moment.

It seemed as if the entire Xinhai Pavilion was undergoing a transformation, completely becoming a part of his sea of consciousness.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but he finally gained a preliminary understanding of the first level of "Boundless Sea of Mind", and his spiritual awareness was enhanced again.

but.

Zhong Lixiao couldn't see the rest of the Dao map clearly.

It's all blurry inside, and I don't know what to do at all.

Zhong Lixiao immediately realized that he had not yet fully comprehended the first level of "Boundless Sea of Heart" and had not yet reached the conditions to open the subsequent Dao diagrams.

This should essentially be a protective measure for him!
Zhong Lixiao realized once again that this "Boundless Sea of Heart" was indeed a precious secret technique that no one in the world could imagine. He made a fortune this time.

After looking around again, Zhong Lixiao left Xinhai Pavilion reluctantly.

Great place!

If you have new insights into spiritual consciousness or new ideas in the future, you can come here to experiment.

At this moment, in Zhong Lixiao's eyes, Xinhai Pavilion is no longer a simple place to "score points", but a treasure-level laboratory.

The rules contained in it are the most advanced instruments in the laboratory.

Cool!
boom!
After Zhong Lixiao decided to withdraw from Xinhai Pavilion, everything in front of him began to become illusory and swaying, and eventually his consciousness was withdrawn bit by bit.

To be honest, this feeling is not good.

It was as if the weight of reality suddenly increased countless times, and the flying soul fell to the ground with a bang, and was once again bound in the narrow and cramped body.

Especially after returning to reality, the "swelling" feeling coming from the Purple Palace made Zhong Lixiao feel a little dizzy.

but.

Even with so much "discomfort", Zhong Lixiao's heart was still more excited than ever before.

He gained so much from this trip of "traveling in the sea of his heart".

Not only did he inherit the precious secret technique "Boundless Heart Sea", but he also cultivated to the level of "Blue Sky Without Clouds" with the help of Heart Sea Pavilion. Especially his physical body, he can now even be called a "flesh arhat".

This was unthinkable before!

Zhong Lixiao slapped his storage bag and a flying sword immediately flew out.

This sword is none other than the "Breaking Sword".

What he is best at is breaking defenses. Even if it is just a small cut, it can even cause spiritual energy to pour out like a dam bursting, which is unstoppable.

Zhong Lixiao held the sword in his right hand, and out of caution, he used 30% of his strength and slashed it hard at his left arm.

Clang clang clang.

A sound similar to the collision of metal was heard, and a large amount of sparks flew out.

He didn't even need to control it deliberately, a "golden film" automatically appeared on his arm, like a set of close-fitting golden skin, directly blocking the attack of his sword.

Zhong Lixiao's eyes suddenly lit up.

He immediately changed his strength from 30% to 50%, then 70%, and finally to his full strength.

But even so, the "golden skin" on his skin still had no effect.

This finally gave Zhong Lixiao a relatively comprehensive understanding of his physical body!
His body training was far ahead of his Qi training. Even if a true Jindan cultivator accidentally let him get close to him, he would probably be beaten to death.

And this is without considering the "Law of Power" of the magical power!
In other words, from now on, if those Jindan Zhenren call him "senior brother", he can accept it with peace of mind.

After studying the physical body, Zhong Lixiao looked inward at his sea of consciousness.

This sight immediately surprised him. Zhong Lixiao then realized that his sea of consciousness, which was once like fine sand particles, now had faint signs of an ocean.

It is not only manifested in the surge of spiritual consciousness, but also in the fact that consciousness no longer appears as calm sand in the water, but actually behaves like the ebb and flow of the sea.

After a little perception, Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but smile.

As the spiritual consciousness rose and fell like the tide of the sea, it actually automatically absorbed the energy of heaven and earth from the outside world into it.

Although the amount is small, he can sense it just by looking inward, and he can imagine how terrifying the level will be after years of accumulation.

Grain of sand forms a tower, and water accumulates to form an abyss. Perhaps the boundless sea of mind is accumulated bit by bit in this way!
so amazing!

After a while, Zhong Lixiao regained his composure and began to re-examine everything in front of him.

There was only that one painted wall in the ancient hall of Xinhai Pavilion.

The murals on the painted walls are still as simple as ever.

The starting beach island, coconut trees, seagulls, and warm sea breeze.

There is a glittering "treasure" not far from the island, and a vast expanse of sea separating the starting island and the treasure.

Seeing such crude "graffiti" on the wall, Zhong Lixiao was a little dazed for a moment.

Who left the murals?
Isn’t this too awesome?
A graffiti is a boundless ocean of the heart!
When will he reach this level?!

After a while.

Zhong Lixiao's gaze also changed from admiration and respect to determination.

He can take his place!
For Zhong Lixiao, this simple mural in front of him is the beacon of his struggle.

It was like the glittering treasure in the mural that tempted him to go out to sea.

Sooner or later you have to go from imitating, understanding, thoroughly digesting, to ultimately surpassing!
Afterwards, Zhong Lixiao turned around and walked out of Xinhai Pavilion without looking back.

Zhong Lixiao knew that he would soon have to face the loudest cheers and worship from the spectators outside.

Zhong Lixiao is very confident about this!

Even though he hadn't seen the ranking on the Heart Monument List outside the Xinhai Pavilion, Zhong Lixiao was still very sure that he would be ranked very high.

The reason is simple: Xinhai Pavilion’s little trick of “cognition” is too beautiful.

It can directly eliminate 90% of the challengers!
Even if someone, like him, is lucky enough to pass the cognitive barrier, it is not so easy to calm the mind.

Even if one succeeds in calming the monkey mind, it would be difficult to replicate his frantic use of the Heart Sea Pavilion to reset the earth, water, wind and fire and achieve enlightenment and breakthrough.

Not to mention that he did not forget his original intention in the end and obtained such a high-level inheritance as "Boundless Sea of Mind".

I just wonder what place he will rank?
This time the limelight was a bit too big, which was completely contrary to the cautious and steady route he had set.

but.

If you compare the risks and rewards, it is totally worth it!
Plans really cannot keep up with changes. Even if a true genius wants to hide, he cannot.

As Zhong Lixiao walked, he was thinking about what he should say when he went out.

As expected, as soon as Zhong Lixiao walked out of Xinhai Pavilion, what he saw was a sea of people.

Each of them had a smile and admiration on their face, and everyone was extremely friendly.

The temperature at the entrance of Xinhai Pavilion suddenly rose sharply due to his appearance, as if it was about to boil completely.

He himself seemed to have become the most dazzling star in the world!

The focus of everyone's attention and the stars are shining.

Seeing this, Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly.

Even though he had experienced it once in the Temple of War God and the Floating Cloud Tower, Zhong Lixiao still felt infinite pride in his heart.

Unlike the previous two times, the test in Xinhai Pavilion was a process for Zhong Lixiao to face his shortcomings, then overcome himself, and finally make up for the shortcomings completely.

It was challenging, but what was even more proud was that he succeeded in the challenge!

"Uncle Zhong, you are so awesome. You are number one on the Heart Tablet Ranking for a thousand years. How did you cultivate?"

"Yes, yes, Xinhai Pavilion is too difficult. I always feel that no matter how hard I try, all I'll end up with is frustration. Is the purpose of Xinhai Pavilion's self-examination so that we can experience failure and become stronger in spirit?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the place was filled with chatter.

Some expressed admiration, some expressed congratulations, and some came to learn from him sincerely.

but.

Zhong Lixiao didn't hear most of what was said. He only remembered that he was ranked first on the Heart Monument List in the past thousand years!

When digging that canal, he just relaxed a little, and then fought hard, and he directly made it to the first place on the Heart Monument List?

He knew that he would get good results in Xinhai Pavilion this time, but he never expected that the results would be so good.

Trouble!
It seems that there will be more assassinations against him in the future!
After a while.

Outside Xinhai Pavilion, many onlookers who came to watch the fun sat down obediently, just like the most well-behaved and sensible primary school students.

They all couldn't wait to listen to Zhong Lixiao's sermon!

There is a sequence in learning the truth, and the one who is wise is the teacher.

Even many Jindan Zhenren listened to Zhong Lixiao's teachings very humbly.

For many people, Xinhai Pavilion is truly an eternal pain in their hearts, and they are all eager to obtain the true scriptures from Zhong Lixiao.

A family inheritance of thousands of books can only hold one true teaching.

Since Zhong Lixiao agreed to preach, he naturally would not be mysterious or even hide anything.

For him, this sermon was one of the best opportunities to cultivate hope.

Zhong Lixiao first asked a few students who were listening to the lecture to ask questions, and soon everyone told about their painful journey into Xinhai Pavilion.

After hearing this, everyone present felt the same way.

The initial choice is easy to make: either go out to sea or stay on the island.

But no matter which one, there will inevitably be setbacks and failures in the end.

After having these bloody examples, Zhong Lixiao began to talk about "cognition".

When the many "students" below heard that their "suffering" was caused by their own cognition, the scene soon became silent.

Everyone looked at each other in surprise.

Honestly, this is undoubtedly too subversive.

People accumulate experience from past experiences or the knowledge left by their predecessors.

And these experiences are the process that constitutes a person's cognition.

The more successful a person is, the more confident he tends to be and the more he believes in his past experiences.

but.

Now you are telling me that all the hardships in Xinhai Pavilion were caused by my own cognition?
This is too subversive!

Could it be that their firm belief that “good things take time” and “hard work and perseverance will lead to success” are all wrong?
The vast majority of students are completely unable to comprehend this, let alone understand why the spiritual consciousness breakthrough is the first to break their own cognition.

But many monks also seemed to have some understanding!
What they firmly believe in can essentially be regarded as a kind of "spiritual shackles."

Breaking cognition can also be seen as a process of letting go, breaking down mental barriers, and releasing mental obstacles.

The writings of many predecessors continue to flow into their hearts.

For some people who are just one step away from success, it is like an epiphany, completely breaking through their knowledge and understanding barriers.

Some people with amazing understanding even combined their experiences of entering the Xinhai Pavilion with Zhong Lixiao's preaching, and deeply understood what it meant to break through cognition.

In just a short period of time, many people took a crucial step and achieved a breakthrough in their spiritual awareness.

I saw that these people had solemn appearances, and their faces were filled with joy of hearing the truth and attaining enlightenment.

This joy seemed to be contagious, making other students envious.

In fact, not to mention these people, even Zhong Lixiao felt very surprised.

The fragments of the "Qiankun Treasure Scroll" that I had learned before subconsciously emerged in my mind. A large part of the chapter on Qiankun Borrowing Methods was about borrowing methods from one's own heart.

The mind is mysterious, invisible and intangible, but it does contain unimaginable power.

These scenes also had a great impact on Zhong Lixiao's concepts, allowing him to begin to have a more intuitive understanding of the "mind".

To a certain extent, it even began to break some of the worldviews that Zhong Lixiao had established in his previous life.

To save others and to save oneself, all kinds of inspirations constantly surged in Zhong Lixiao's heart, just like the ebb and flow of the tide.

Those who heard and understood the truth expressed their gratitude to Zhong Lixiao almost as if they were disciples.

It brought infinite shock to many students on the scene!

Afterwards, the environment on the scene became more and more harmonious, as if it had turned into a huge discussion meeting.

Even many old seniors who had been secretly paying attention to this place couldn't help but nod their heads.

The older they get, the more they like to see the younger generations of the sect making such progress.

Therefore, he found Zhong Lixiao more and more pleasing to the eye.

Because Zhong Lixiao was so "straightforward", he not only talked about "cognition", but also "calming the mind" and "staying in mind", and even mentioned cause and effect.

What is the most important thing in practicing Taoism?

It is very important to hold on and let nature take its course. As long as you are sure that your goal is ahead, don't be too anxious even if you can't reach it in a short time.
Are these things very profound?

Actually not at all!
Many of them are concepts that are frequently mentioned in Taoist scriptures, and many people can even recite them by heart.

but.

Anyone who has been to school probably knows that for the same problem, the way a teacher and a classmate explain it is sometimes very different.

Later, the sermons turned into discussions.

In just a short period of time, the area around Xinhai Pavilion was filled with the sound of people discussing the Dao.

The atmosphere is so good that many people may hide their problems under normal circumstances, but in this atmosphere, those who have problems finally break through their psychological barriers and ask questions that have been bothering them for a long time.

Those fellow disciples who might have been hiding their abilities at ordinary times, began to show their true abilities after hearing the voices of preaching all around them.

Soon, more and more fellow disciples benefited from it.

In just a short period of time, an unprecedented brainstorming session was even formed.

Everyone had a great time being a master, and all the difficulties that had been suppressed in their hearts were resolved through collective brainstorming, leading to major breakthroughs.

The entire Xinhai Pavilion is filled with the light of wisdom.

And in this atmosphere, Zhong Lixiao naturally benefited a lot.

As for his reputation, it was pushed to the peak.

Even if he did nothing afterwards, this "Xinhai Pavilion Discussion" was destined to become a grand event that would be talked about with relish by all the disciples of Baiyun Temple.

three days later.

The conference finally ended, and Zhong Lixiao was inevitably pulled into a small circle gathering by his acquaintances.
