Two Realms: Modern Invasion of Cultivation

The Celestial Master's Divine Will combines all the characteristics of the three Celestial Masters: Zhang Daoling, Zhang Lu, and Zhang Heng.

Zhang Daoling: Red robe, black tiger, demon-slaying sword, crescent-shaped crown.

Zhang Heng: scriptures, a third eye between the eyebrows, and the Black Tortoise and Snake.

Zhang Lu: tally, medicine gourd, Liang crown.

These characteristics all have extraordinary origins, and after divine will manifests, they will also gain corresponding abilities based on their origins.

The red robe, for example, is a ceremonial garment, formed from pure yang energy, capable of warding off evil, suppressing demons, and exorcising monsters.

The Black Tiger, formed from Xuan Shui, has eyes that ward off evil, a tail that curls into a Tai Chi diagram, and feet that tread on decrees. It can generate auspicious clouds and travel a thousand miles in an instant.

The Demon-Slaying Sword is three feet and five inches long, corresponding to the Three Powers and Five Elements. It can harness the power of the stars to slay demons, monsters, and the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance.

The Moon-Facing Crown, imbued with the power of the moon, allows one to draw upon the moon's essence for cultivation.

Scriptures can open the door to education.

The Heavenly Eye penetrates the three realms, clearly distinguishing truth from falsehood.

Xuanwu the Tortoise and Snake, one of the Four Divine Beasts, controls water and earth and is in charge of suppression.

The talisman, a nine-section staff wrapped with five-colored silk, can be used to command troops and generals, and to order ghosts and gods.

The medicinal gourd can cure diseases and prolong life.

Liang Guan is in charge of the power of plants and trees.

...

With so many abilities, it can be said that whatever you want, you have it.

So.

What abilities can the Celestial Master's divine will within the sea of ​​consciousness possess?

The answer is, of course, yes.

The future is uncertain, but right now the Celestial Master's divine will is too weak. Although what should manifest has manifested, most of the corresponding abilities cannot be manifested or used.

And among these abilities...

Song Yu was undoubtedly most concerned about the medicine gourd.

The medicine gourd can produce elixirs that can cure diseases and prolong life, so the benefits to him are self-evident.

Unfortunately, the medicine gourd currently does not yet possess the necessary abilities; it is merely for decoration.

The key lies in the strengthening of divine will.

The stronger one's divine will, the more "objects of will" it can activate, and the more powerful they become.

in this way.

The day after his return, Song Yu's mind was entirely focused on comprehending the manifestation of divine will.

I had lunch in the middle of the trip.

Occasionally, he would drink tea and ask Yunzhi for other books to read, thus relaxing his mind.

They were quite relaxed and carefree.

As for Yun Su, she slept all day, absorbing spiritual energy by his side.

This continued until after dinner.

Yun Su, having had a good sleep, was full of energy. She and Song Yu strolled away from the Taoist temple and returned to the pavilion they had visited the night before.

The two practiced Tai Chi once.

After finishing, they all sat down in the pavilion, feeling refreshed.

A gentle breeze swept by, driving away the mosquitoes and leaving no trace.

The moon is full again tonight, and its light is bright.

Song Yu relaxed and sorted out today's gains.

I have a pretty good understanding of things related to divine will.

In the morning, the Taoist disciples offered incense and absorbed some "intention," which greatly increased their spiritual power.

As an experienced baby, Yun Su absorbed spiritual energy for a day, and the spiritual aura between his brows grew stronger, allowing him to absorb some more "intent". As a result, the Celestial Master's divine will also grew stronger.

at the moment.

He can easily utilize the abilities of various "objects of intent" through the divine will of the Celestial Master.

The medicine pot I care about most can only produce a wisp of elixir energy to treat minor illnesses like colds and nourish the body.

better than nothing.

In contrast, he was more concerned with "scriptures".

The "scripture" has the power to enlighten and educate. Its content is "Laozi Xiang'er Commentary". It touched the spiritual energy in Yun Su and seems to be able to be used on spiritual energy.

You'll only know how effective it is after you've used it.

But it can't be used.

He tried it while Yun Su was asleep, but the Celestial Master's divine will was weak at the moment. Even if he exhausted all his energy and spirit, he could not exert much power from the "scripture". This little power was applied to Yun Su's spiritual energy, which made him feel very strained and he could not get any results.

We can only wait until the Celestial Master's divine will is stronger before trying again.

...

"Song Yu, you've changed."

Yun Su looked thoughtful, her eyes bright, and said, "He looks very thin, but he seems to have become even more handsome."

and.

She could still sense a strange aura emanating from the man in front of her.

It wasn't the gloom, death, or melancholy one might imagine in a dying person, but rather a very clear and refreshing aura.

The feeling of energy was so real that she once thought she could cultivate immortality.

As a result, after meditating all night last night, apart from developing a pair of panda eyes, nothing unusual happened.

"Is there?"

Song Yu remained calm and said in his usual tone, "Perhaps my mindset has changed, and I've come to terms with it."

Yun Su was skeptical.

The Moon-Facing Crown, formed from the power of the moon, can be used to guide the moon's essence for cultivation.

Song Yu decided to give it a try, so he walked out of the pavilion, sat cross-legged on a rock at the edge of the cliff, closed his eyes, and focused his mind into his sea of ​​consciousness. He activated the Moon-Looking Crown under the divine will of the Celestial Master.

The bright moon hanging high in the night sky seemed to shine even more brilliantly.

The moonlight fell and was absorbed by Song Yu.

I felt that my spirit, energy, and mind were all nourished, and my overall mental state was incredibly comfortable.

So exhilarating was it that even the soul, which seemed to exist or not, felt completely relaxed and stretched.

He is satisfied.

Meanwhile, inside the pavilion.

Yun Su followed his figure with her gaze, watching him sit down to meditate on the edge of the cliff, completely bewildered.

The moonlight spilled down, as if adding a hazy, moonlit cloak to the man in sight.

It's like a stage where everything is pitch black except for a beam of light that illuminates the protagonist.

Under such moonlight.

Song Yu's figure became much clearer, as if it were glowing, and a faint moon crown appeared on his head.

That is...

The crescent-shaped crown on the portrait of the patriarch...

Yun Su was stunned. She blinked and realized that the strange phenomenon she had just seen had disappeared.

illusion?

She was puzzled, and after thinking for a moment, she left the pavilion and sat down next to Song Yu.

There was a cliff right in front of us, which was a bit scary.

She quickly closed her eyes, calmed herself, and silently began to meditate.

really.

The comfortable feeling is back.

And there's another feeling: the men around me seem to have become much more "fragrant".

In this way of practicing, time passes.

I don't know how much time passed.

Song Yu realized he was full, so he immediately stopped cultivating, got up, and stretched.

The bright moon is directly overhead.

Looking at the time, it was already midnight.

He glanced at the woman beside him, who appeared to be meditating but was actually sleeping comfortably, and shook his head slightly.

This woman can sleep even longer than a pig.

"Wake up."

He patted the woman's disheveled Taoist robe, which had slipped down to reveal her bare, snow-white shoulders.

"Hmm."

Yun Su woke up, still groggy, and tried to get up, pushing herself up with both hands.

It all came to nothing.

There's a cliff right ahead.

Fortunately, the wind supported the woman's body.

Helpless, Song Yu quickly helped the woman to her feet.

So comfortable.

It feels so good.

Yun Su stood up without realizing it, stretched, and felt a wave of comfort wash over her.

After a refreshing shake, I felt clear-headed and alert.

Look at the cliff in front of you.

Her legs went weak, but she didn't change her expression and grabbed the arm of the man next to her.

It was just a minor incident.

They returned to the Taoist temple.

The two parted ways and returned to their respective living rooms.

After washing up, Song Yu fell asleep peacefully.

Before going to sleep, the Celestial Master's divine will within her sea of ​​consciousness increased again. The reason for this increase was that after being nourished by the moonlight, the spiritual energy on Yun Su's body had grown stronger, generating a considerable amount of absorbing essence.

On the other side...

After washing up, Yunsu sat cross-legged on the bed again, feeling the vague, inexplicable sensations emanating from her body.

I slept without any dreams.

It was the third day since the return.

this day.

Yunqing and the others did not dream of the ancestral master's statue again last night.

Yesterday morning, Lingfeng sent a message informing Song Yu that everyone had dreamed of the ancestral master's statue.

He didn't pay attention, and figured it was impossible for him to dream about it every day.

This has proven to be true.

The reason I dreamt about it yesterday is probably because it was the first time that divine will was born, and it brought some influence.

Everything remains the same.

The morning class still consists of Tai Chi and Baduanjin.

Breakfast was simple but tasted good.

After breakfast.

The last student in the trial class, who had been absent for some time, finally showed up.

He was a middle-aged man.

The reason the other party came to Yunlai Temple for the experience was for the Taoist medicine massage offered by Yunlai Temple.

good results.

After seven days, my backache and leg pain subsided, so this morning I packed my bags and left the Taoist temple, ending my experience.

No new participants arrived for the trial class.

Song Yu remained calm and at ease, buying some materials needed to draw talismans from Yun Qing and starting to draw them himself.

Yun Su stopped following him around to absorb spiritual energy and disappeared somewhere.

It was afternoon.

Two women came to the Taoist temple; they were both quite beautiful.

A woman with her hair tied in a ponytail, exquisite makeup, wearing a loose long-sleeved shirt and a pleated skirt, with her beautiful legs encased in sheer, lustrous flesh-colored stockings, exuded youthful and vibrant energy. She was also filming with her phone.

The other woman was dressed in a rather simple shirt and trousers, her delicate features barely concealed by light makeup, giving her the air of a quiet and beautiful woman.

As his spiritual sense drifted down with the wind, Song Yu recognized two women.

They were the two women I had met once before when we were eating noodles after I returned.

I didn't pay attention.

He continued to lie on the recliner in the backyard, his mind wandering, relaxing his body and mind, which were somewhat tired from drawing talismans all morning.

...

Bai Moli is a travel blogger with millions of followers.

Lan Yanyan, Bai Moli's classmate and best friend, is also a member of the Yuncheng Culture and Tourism Department, responsible for the publicity work of Yunwu Mountain Scenic Area.

now.

Yun Su was receiving two beautiful women.

"Yunlai Temple looks pretty good."

Bai Moli was filming with her portable equipment, her eyes taking in everything in the Taoist temple with great interest. She said with a relaxed feeling, "This Taoist temple feels very spiritual. It's even cooler than outside. As soon as I entered the temple, I felt much more relaxed."

"It's better than the scenic area next door."

This was a surprise for her.

In response to this...

Lan Yanyan also noticed that the Taoist temple was different from before, and she did feel more comfortable there.

Yun Su also felt this way.

But she was too lazy to think about it.

"If you feel comfortable, you can stay for a couple more days."

Lan Yanyan said in a relaxed tone, "The Taoist temple has a trial class. You can experience life in the Taoist temple and help shoot a promotional video."

"Perfect timing! Two days from now, some celebrities will be filming a variety show at the scenic area. I can see them and join in the fun."

It sounds pretty good.

Bai Moli said with a smile, "Then it's decided. Anyway, I have plenty of time this time, so it wouldn't be bad to experience the Taoist temple's life of cultivation."

"Master Yunsu, please give me your guidance."

Okay, we have income again.

Yun Su waved her hand and led the two of them around the Taoist temple, occasionally explaining some Taoist knowledge in a casual manner, still behaving freely and casually.

After strolling around for a while.

Three women came to the backyard.

At a glance, I spotted the thin figure lying on the deck chair under the tree, and the tabby cat nestled in the figure's arms.

"This person is..."

Bai Moli was curious and felt that the face looked somewhat familiar.

After thinking about it carefully, I realized that I had run into him at the foot of the mountain two days ago.

She remembered the girl in green, who was thin and had distinctive features.

"It's a trial class."

Yun Su said lazily, "Students who have come to experience life in a Taoist temple."

No wonder he wasn't wearing a Taoist robe.

Bai Moli glanced at it a few more times, but didn't disturb it.

Lan Yanyan paused, hesitatingly asking, "Yunsu, look at that tree, isn't there a snake?"

Upon hearing this...

Yun Su and Bai Moli looked over and indeed saw a small green snake coiled on the branch.

"Where did this cauliflower snake come from?"

Yun Su said casually, "Don't worry, there's no poison."

Lan Yanyan said helplessly, "What I mean is, shouldn't we tell that person first?"

Bai Moli couldn't help but say, "Hey, sir, there's a snake on the branch above your head."

Oh.

Song Yu remained unmoved and continued to take his afternoon nap.

The accompanying spirit wind will bring the energy of the mountains and forests, and the movement of this energy will attract some wild animals from the mountains and forests.

Threatening creatures like mosquitoes and rodents were all driven away by the spirit wind, and even the Taoist temple couldn't get in.

Those who can enter are either harmless or possess some spirituality.

The garland snake on its head is quite spiritual.

If it weren't for the tabby cat in his arms occupying him, the vegetable snake would have already climbed onto him.

As expected.

The tabby cat will be just like Yunsu, unable to live without him from now on.

After all, the tabby cat could be petted before, but it was impossible for someone to hold it. Now it was actively throwing itself into his arms, which showed how much it wanted to get some of his spiritual energy.

Petting a cat is indeed a great feeling.

Song Yu was delighted.

But he didn't react.

"Asleep?"

It's best not to bother Bai Moli anymore.

Anyway, it's just a rat snake, not poisonous. At most, the person will be startled when they wake up.

The three left.

After a while.

After helping Bai Moli settle into her dormitory, Yun Su yawned repeatedly as she came to the backyard. She sat down at the stone table next to Song Yu, grabbed the tabby cat and gave it a good rub before finally being satisfied. She then tossed the bewildered tabby cat back into Song Yu's arms.

Take off your shoes.

She landed barefoot in Song Yu's arms, nestled under the tabby cat's belly, and felt instantly comfortable. She casually leaned on the stone table, her jade-like hand supporting her cheek, and fell asleep.

They really weren't being polite at all.

Song Yu withdrew his wandering spiritual consciousness, opened his eyes, glanced at the woman, and smiled.

The tabby cat, with its paws tucked inside its body and its belly pressing against the woman's feet, continued purring.

No one or the cat was disturbed.

Bathed in the gentle breeze, Song Yu felt relaxed and content as he pondered.

A Taoist temple alone cannot absorb enough "spiritual intention" every day.

Meaning, the significance of existence.

The greater the significance and importance of existence, the more meaning it generates, which can be absorbed and strengthen the divine will within the sea of ​​consciousness.

Therefore, Yunwu Mountain Scenic Area is very good.

Once the scenic area is promoted and attracts more tourists, its significance will increase.

Everything in the world has its own meaning.

As long as there is "intent", he can absorb the meaning within and strengthen the divine will of the Celestial Master.

Without a doubt, he must have practiced the "divine method" incorrectly.

Instead of properly absorbing divine will, it became absorbing and storing intention.

But for him, this is the best fit.

The only problem is that the form of divine will vary depending on the intention of absorption.

His divine manifestation is the Celestial Master of the Zhengyi School.

Therefore, he can only absorb the "intention" of the Zhengyi sect of Taoism. Although the Yunwu Mountain scenic area has its own significance, he does not know whether he can absorb the intention it generates, or even whether it can generate intention at all.

However, if the Yunwu Mountain scenic area is promoted, Yunlai Temple will also benefit, attracting more tourists and more worshippers.

At that time, the significance of Yunlai Temple will be so great that it will be able to absorb more "insights".

Thinking about this...

He paused for a moment, then thought of the ancestral temple of Taoism, the Dragon Tiger Palace.

The significance of the Dragon Tiger Palace is undoubtedly immense.

So, how much of the "intent" can be absorbed from it?

With so many Taoist temples of all sizes and so many "intentions" to absorb, how powerful would the Celestial Master's divine will become after absorption?

It seems wonderful, but in reality it's not that wonderful.

His Celestial Master Divine Intent has not yet matured, and he may not be able to absorb the extremely powerful "Preservation Intent" in the Dragon Tiger Palace.

You can't get fat in one bite.

Eat slowly.

Moreover, he could sense that the Celestial Master's divine will in his sea of ​​consciousness had an upper limit to its absorption.

This upper limit depends on the size of one's sea of ​​consciousness.

The growing power of the Celestial Master's divine will will continuously occupy his sea of ​​consciousness.

For now, things are alright; the space in my mind's eye is sufficient for the time being.

However, if the Celestial Master's divine will is to continue to grow stronger in the future, the space of one's sea of ​​consciousness must also grow and expand. Otherwise, sooner or later it will not be able to contain the Celestial Master's divine will, and one's sea of ​​consciousness will be burst.

The growth of the sea of ​​consciousness can only be achieved through cultivating true qi; it will only grow stronger as one's cultivation level increases.

But his body doesn't even have spiritual energy right now, so he can't cultivate true qi at all.

and so.

The Dragon Tiger Palace is nice, but I can't eat there.

As for the other Taoist temples, big and small, you can eat there, but it's troublesome.

You have to travel everywhere and keep moving.

Instead of rushing over just to absorb a little bit of "intent," it would be better to properly cultivate the "intent" of Yunlai Temple.

Maybe.

Once he is able to cultivate and his cultivation level rises, he will be able to absorb the "intentions" of Taoist temples in other places remotely without moving.

Cultivation...

He had already tried Taoist meditation techniques yesterday, such as visualizing his three dantian, swallowing saliva, and refining essence into qi, but none of them had any effect.

Without spiritual energy, without true qi, one cannot cultivate even a little bit.

Unlike the women around me, who easily gained spiritual energy, and whose spiritual energy grew stronger every day, with the birth of true energy just around the corner.

Song Yu couldn't help but glance at the sleeping Yun Su again. His gaze lingered on the woman's bare shoulders, exposed by her disheveled clothes, before looking at her brow.

He used his spiritual sense, and even the "heavenly eye" of the Celestial Master's divine will, to see the spiritual aura of women more than once.

But nothing was gained.

Whether a spiritual essence can be born depends entirely on talent, which really discouraged him.

Is my talent for cultivation really that bad?

He had some doubts, but then he remembered that Yun Qing and the others had not developed spiritual energy either, which made him feel a little more at ease.

It's not that I lack talent, but rather that Yun Su's talent is too extraordinary.

Yes, that must be it.

He comforted himself, closed his eyes, and sank his mind into his sea of ​​consciousness, into the divine will of the Celestial Master, and continued to look through the "Laozi Xiang'er Commentary" on the "scripture".

Since it possesses the power to enlighten and educate, perhaps reading more of it will help me awaken my intellect—no, my spirit, to awaken my spiritual essence...
