Traveling through time as a goblin, just wanting to live a leisurely life

The heart is full of emotional power, and Mo Ling was the first to tell Yi Gan about this.

Mo Ling couldn't even eat the seafood produced in the Heart Sea directly. He could only eat the jellyfish skin processed by Boss Tao from the Mortal World.

Mo Ling was an immortal who ascended to the immortal world relatively early in the Star Realm. Although his strength was not as strong as that of Moon Realm masters such as Youyouzi and Iron-eating Beast, he was also enough to represent the strongest group of immortals in the Star Realm. If even Mo Ling could not directly contact the Heart Sea, then other Star Realm immortals should not be much different.

Even the big guys in the Moon Realm, such as Youyouzi and Tieshishou, who are immortals at this level, can only eat the fish in the Heart Sea at most and have never gone into the water.

So Yi Gan was really surprised to see that Master Zhengguang could meditate with half of his body immersed in the sea of ​​​​heart.

"Master Zhengguang is about to break through the sky? He has crossed two realms in one breath and become a Sun Realm Immortal? Is the Buddhist technique so powerful?"

Many thoughts flashed through Yigan's mind.

About 10 minutes later, Master Zhengguang came out of the water.

"I can only sit for 10 minutes if my mind is unstable."

Master Zhengguang looked slightly disappointed.

"Isn't this amazing? Other immortals can't even get a little bit of it, but you can actually sit in there for 10 minutes. You've already beaten the entire immortal world."

Yigan was startled.

“Amitabha, this is different.”

Master Zhengguang wiped his body dry and said:

"There are many methods to raise one's realm to the Star Realm. Some people train their bodies, some people practice Qigong. There are also some practitioners who focus on certain specialties and can cultivate their realm to the Star Realm. The Buddhist practice method places great emphasis on the mind. Our realm is achieved through the cultivation of the mind, so it is normal for our willpower and concentration to be stronger than other immortals."

Yi Gan understood what Master Zhengguang said, but he didn't quite agree with it.

This is called a little stronger? It's many times stronger, right?

If Igan also had the same mental strength as Master Zhengguang, he might be able to break through all restrictions with his willpower even after signing a magic contract.

I'm a little envious...

"Master Yi, you are actually very suitable for the practice of mind cultivation."

Master Zhengguang seemed to notice Yigan's envy and spoke.

"Master, please stop joking. I can't even recite Amitabha Buddha properly, so how can I cultivate my mind?"

Ichigan laughed at himself.

"Monks don't tell lies, I'm telling the truth. But the way you can cultivate your mind is not my way of self-cultivation and self-discipline, emptiness and concentration, but the way to explore desires, understand desires, and finally control desires. As long as you can control your own desires and the desires of others, your spiritual attainments will not be lower than mine in the future."

Master Zhengguang’s words made Yi Gan a little dazed.

"Master, I don't quite understand what you mean. Do you want me to learn to control my desires?"

It always sounded to Yigan that it was the same reason why Master Zhengguang restricted it from doing various things before. To control desires, doesn't that mean that it should not act on instinct in everything?

"No, it's about getting close to desire, understanding desire, and finally controlling and mastering it because of understanding. You still act according to your desires, but you also control all desires at the same time. For example, it's like mud."

Master Zhengguang raised his hand and a mud pool appeared at the edge of his heart, in which a green lotus leaped out of the mud.

"My practice is like this lotus. Born in the mud, but emerging from the mud without being stained. Only when all the mud on the body is removed can one attain enlightenment and become a lotus without being stained by dust. But the practice of the donor is like mud. His body is mud, his heart is mud, but he can cultivate a green lotus. Whether it is stained or not is up to his heart."

Yi Gan looked at the lotus and finally understood what Master Zhengguang said.

"It sounds like my method of cultivating the mind is quite powerful?"

Yigan felt a little dizzy.

"Yes, Master Yi is a creature driven by desire, but he can use his desire-filled heart to find a way for me to go further. This is Master Yi's transcendence. So Master Yi, don't mind what you have done in the past, everything is determined by fate. If Master Yi hadn't made this unintentional move, I wouldn't have been able to enter seclusion so quickly."

Only then did Master Zhengguang explain why he had become so polite.

To put it simply, Master Zhengguang was a bit arrogant in his heart. When he saw Yi Gan, who had enough intelligence but let his instincts drive his body, he felt it was a pity, so he forced Yi Gan to practice.

Master Zhengguang's original intention was not to really help Yigan become stronger and then survive in the fairy world.

Later, Yi Gan took a handful of heart dust, which made Master Zhengguang realize that he still had desires in his heart, and he was not as free of desires as he thought. So from that day on, he began to retreat, actively looking for this desire, and then wanted to completely eliminate it.

The process of pursuit went smoothly. It only took the master three days to figure out what his desires were. Then he did the same thing as he had been doing from the mortal world to the fairyland: meditating, chanting Buddha's name, setting rules for himself, restraining and regulating himself, and eliminating his desires bit by bit.

But Yigan's repeated acts of stealing wall panels seemed as if he was dissatisfied with his slow practice speed, and each time he removed a corner of the desire in his heart.

The magnificent temple was his desire, and he would tear it down one day. But he had to do it himself, because only when he tore down the wall panels himself could he let go without any regrets or thoughts.

However, the wall panels that Yi Gan removed required him to spend more time to heal his heart and fill the pain of having his dreams forcibly shattered.

It was at this time that Master Zhengguang made a breakthrough.

He suddenly figured out a problem:

Where does the pain come from?

Why doesn't it hurt when I tear down the temple in my heart bit by bit, but I feel pain when others tear down my temple?

If giving up one's desires will definitely be painful, then by slowly tearing down the temple in one's heart, are one really tearing down the temple, or is it just because one has recited the sutras long enough that one has numbed one's heart once again?

Finally, Master Zhengguang discovered a fact that he had never thought of before and was a little difficult to accept.

Yigan's spiritual realm might be higher than his.

He almost couldn't control his desires at the first little temptation, but Yi Gan was able to live well without controlling his desires at all.

Although there are some minor evils, generally speaking they do not cause much trouble to others, do not hurt anyone, and are able to face themselves calmly.

His mentality changed, and he became much more polite towards Yigan. Finally, he came up with the idea of ​​honing himself with his heart.

"Then Master, how do I start practicing?"

Yigan didn't know about Master Zhengguang's change in mentality. He was more concerned about his own cultivation at the moment.
