Chapter 250 Minor Cultivation in the Mountains and Forests, Major Cultivation in the World (5K)
Wonderful Cave.
Su Chen was checking the information related to Guiyi Secret Realm given by Jie Sui.
The rune opened, and a lot of information flooded into Su Chen's mind, causing him to fall into a brief sluggish state.
After a while, Su Chen woke up, with a sad look on his eyebrows.
After checking the information about Guiyi Secret Realm, he found that it was similar to what Xie Sui told him.
As we all know, if a warrior wants to understand the true meaning of martial arts, the road is long and difficult, and he has to rely entirely on his own mind and can hardly rely on external objects.
But the Guiyi Secret Realm is a very magical place that can help warriors understand the true meaning of martial arts faster.
The reason is that there are thousands of true meanings of martial arts remaining in the secret realm of Guiyi.
After a warrior enters the Guiyi Secret Realm, if the true meaning of martial arts you comprehend is similar to the true meaning of martial arts remaining in the secret realm, then you can comprehend the true meaning of martial arts faster than others.
This situation is equivalent to you having a reference, taking the path that others have taken, and finally just converting it into your own true meaning of martial arts.
Even if there is only a little similarity, it will benefit a lot for warriors who have not understood the true meaning of martial arts.
But if the true meaning of martial arts that you want to understand is completely different from the true meaning of martial arts that remains in the secret realm, and there is not even half a reference, then the role of the secret realm in understanding the true meaning of martial arts is almost zero.
Su Chen was caught in such a tangle at this moment.
Perhaps other people may find similar true meanings of martial arts in the secret realm for enlightenment, but he may not.
Because until now, he is not sure what kind of true meaning of martial arts he wants to understand.
There are many types of the true meaning of martial arts, but the true meaning of martial arts perceived by human warriors is mostly related to will, character, and obsession.
However, these are all too vague, not even a vague concept.
Su Chen felt that he had them all, but none of them stood out.
In fact, the most difficult step in understanding the true meaning of martial arts is not how to understand it, but to understand it.
To have a clear mind means to understand one's own mind clearly, to know what one has, what one wants, and what to do...
It covers a lot of content, and it’s hard to explain clearly.
A martial artist knows his heart, whether it is difficult or not, it is not easy either.
What's difficult is that some people can't understand their minds in their entire lives, but what's easy is that some people can do it within a few years.
Once a warrior understands his mind, it is equivalent to knowing his direction.
Once you have a direction, you can prescribe the right medicine, and it is only a matter of time before you realize the true meaning of martial arts.
There are still nine years until the Guiyi Secret Realm is opened. During this time, Su Chen can start to understand his mind.
This is what many warriors do before entering the Guiyi Secret Realm.
"Mingxin..."
Su Chen murmured to himself, falling into deep thought.
His eyes gradually became cloudy, and the aura around him gradually became disordered.
If this continues, he will fall into a dead end, as if he is entangled by inner demons and unable to extricate himself.
But soon, Su Chen's eyes returned to clear color, even with a bit of joy.
"I remember that it is recorded in Xuan Xin Wan Miao Shi that the technique after Wan Shi Gong is related to the true meaning of martial arts and is called Wan Yi Kung. Since I can feel the power of Yuanli through Wan Shi Gong, then I am Isn’t it possible to understand the true meaning of martial arts through Wanyi Gong?”
Su Chen's eyes suddenly brightened as bright as day, and he remembered the relevant introduction to Wan Yi Gong.
If you learn the Wanshi Gong, you will have the power of all things. If you learn the Wanyi Gong, you will also have the power of all things.
The meaning of all phenomena is not limited to one true meaning of martial arts, but hundreds, thousands, or even ten thousand kinds, which are equivalent to the blessing of all kinds of will.
"If Wan Yi Kung is really as powerful as Xuan Xin Wan Miao Shi says, then why should I cling to the true meaning of martial arts? I might as well learn Wan Yi Kung with the help of the panel. After all, the panel is my biggest support!"
Su Chen's eyes flickered, and he gradually had an idea in his mind.
As long as he finds the Wanyi Gong, no matter what the clear mind is, no matter what the secret realm is, he only needs to turn on the simple mode to understand the meaning of all things.
How simple!
"only……"
Su Chen calmed down, but sadness still lingered on his eyebrows.
"The problem now is how to find the Wan Yi Gong!"
When he was looking for Wanshi Gong, he once inquired about Wanyi Gong, but found nothing.
In this case, either there is no Wanyi Gong in Shengyuan, or the name of the skill has been changed, but no matter which it is, it means finding a needle in a haystack.
“No, you can’t put all your eggs in the same basket.
There are still nine years left before the return to the secret realm. I can make two preparations, while searching for the Wanyi Gong and at the same time clarifying my mind. "
Thinking of this, Su Chen couldn't wait to find Wan Yi Gong immediately.
Soon, he calmed down a little.
"But before leaving Ziyang Sect, I want to go to the True Intention Tower to see something."
Tower of truth.
As the name suggests, it is a pagoda provided by Ziyang Sect to allow Yuanshen realm warriors to experience the true meaning of martial arts.
The True Meaning Pagoda is located at Chiyang Peak. The tower is not very high, with only four floors.
Before entering the tower, a simple and profound aura hit your face, giving you a faint feeling of surrender.
It was the same feeling that Yang Jiu's martial arts true meaning brought to Su Chen, but not as intense as Yang Jiu's.
Su Chen stepped into the Tower of True Intention. It was only one step away, as if he had changed the world.
The surrounding walls of the True Meaning Tower are engraved with dense images. The images are lifelike, as if they have been given life and are ready to come out.
If you look closely, you will see ancient and vast stars painted on the walls of the tower.
These stars are displayed in front of everyone in different postures, conveying the will of their masters.
Just like the scene in the garden when spring comes, flowers bloom, blooming with their own brilliance.
Just by looking at it, Su Chen felt like he was trapped in it.
"The mural on the first floor of the True Meaning Tower is the 'Star Map of the Zhoutian'. The stars on it are the embodiment of the true meaning of the warrior's martial arts."
Su Chen looked around and scanned all the images one by one.
He moved forward slowly, and every time he stood in front of an image, he would stop for a moment, look at it carefully, and understand with his heart the true meaning of martial arts conveyed to him by these images.
Although few people understand the true meaning of their own martial arts just by watching the true meaning of martial arts, this is one of the most intuitive ways to understand the true meaning of other people's martial arts.
Picture after picture passed before his eyes, and Su Chen seemed to be in a sky full of stars, wandering around.
Then, he came to the second floor.
The second level is not a map of the stars in the sky, but a map of the beasts choosing the sky.
What is painted on the mural is not stars, but monsters.
There were some flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water...most of them were things Su Chen had never seen before.
They have various postures, some are ferocious, some are domineering, some are cruel, some are lonely...
Su Chen also watched and moved forward, leaving his own eyes on every mural.
Soon, he arrived at the third floor.
The images on the wall of the third floor of the tower are of another style, depicting flowers, plants, trees, and various spiritual objects.
Compared with the first two layers, the third layer has much fewer images.
Even so, after appreciating the first two floors of murals, the third floor of murals gave him a completely new feeling.
Su Chen looked very slowly.
You spend more time on the third floor than on the other two floors.
Finally came to the fourth floor.
The number of images on the fourth layer has been reduced a lot, with only a few images depicting landscapes and people.
There are mountains and streams, the sun, moon and stars, smoke from people’s kitchens, and poultry, birds and beasts...
It looks like a synthesis of the first three floors, but it has an artistic conception that is obviously different from the previous three floors.
Su Chen racked his brains and could only use one sentence to describe it, and that was 'the smoke of human beings'.
He walked slowly and looked very seriously.
Every painting here was left by a warrior in the divine realm, and represents a true meaning of martial arts.
Every time he sees the true meaning of martial arts, it is a kind of practice for Su Chen.
Not long after, Su Chen read all the divine intentions on the fourth floor of the True Intention Tower.
He stood at the window, looking at the endless sky, and his whole person became extremely peaceful.
The four floors of murals in the True Meaning Tower gave him different feelings.
The star map of the sky on the first level seems vast and boundless, like a long martial road.
The second level of the map of the natural selection of beasts is like a natural selection of animals, and it is a fierce fight on the martial arts road.
The growth pattern of vegetation on the third floor looks like spring breeze, more like an unyielding will.
The picture of smoke rising from the kitchen on the fourth floor is like fireworks in the world, and what seems to be hidden in it is leisure and relaxation.
"What about me?"
Su Chen asked himself, the true meaning of martial arts contained in these divine intentions was very good, but they were not suitable for him.
This was felt from the first moment he saw these murals.
Su Chen had a vague feeling like this when he walked into the Tower of True Meaning. After looking at the four-layer images, this feeling became clearer.
"Are you unwilling?" Su Chen murmured to himself.
It's not that they are unwilling to accept the strength of the true meaning of these martial arts, but they are not willing to accept the extent of the true meaning of these martial arts.
You know, what he practices is Wanshi Gong.
Others have only thousands of ways to cultivate Yuanli, but he has countless ways.
Such a huge gap naturally gave him an unusual feeling.
With the power of countless kinds of energy, after seeing the true meaning of these martial arts, he could obviously feel the unwillingness caused by this gap.
Not willing to only practice one true meaning of martial arts.
He wants to practice more types!
"But there seems to be no precedent in the records about the true meaning of martial arts."
The true meaning of martial arts is the embodiment of the warrior's will and many other factors. It is already extremely difficult to practice one kind of martial arts. Wanting to practice more is tantamount to wishful thinking.
"It seems that Wan Yi Gong is more popular with me."
Su Chen thought about Wan Yi Gong again.
If before he was more inclined to take both into account, but after appreciating the true meaning of various martial arts, he was more inclined to look for Wanyi Gong.
Although he didn't know how Wan Yi Gong could achieve the true meaning of cultivating ten thousand kinds of martial arts, it at least gave him a hope.
Just like when he chose Wanshi Gong, he didn't care if he didn't know. If he knew, he wouldn't be willing to make do with it.
After stopping for a long time, Su Chen left the Tower of True Intention.
This trip to the Tower of True Intentions benefited him a lot. Although he did not reach the stage of understanding his own heart, he did understand his own choices.
Three days later.
Su Chen took care of everything and came to Chiyang Hall to find Yang Jiu.
I came here this time to inform Yang Jiu of my plans.
"The deputy sect leader is not here, please come back later." However, an elder told him that Yang Jiu had not returned to the Ziyang Sect yet.
After some inquiries, even the elders did not know when the deputy sect master would return.
Su Chen thought for a while and said, "Can I please tell the elders that Su Chen is going to travel. If he doesn't come back after nine years, he will voluntarily give up his quota to enter the Guiyi Secret Realm."
This was the result of his careful consideration.
Whether it is searching for the Wanyi Skill or understanding one's own mind, it means that the Secret Realm of Returning to One is of little use to him.
After finding the Wanyi Gong, he can use the panel to understand the true meaning of martial arts without entering the secret realm.
If you don't find it, then understand your own heart clearly.
But his understanding of the mind and his practice of Wanyi Gong are different but have the same purpose.
He is unwilling and unwilling to only practice one true meaning of martial arts. He wants to find a method that is not only suitable for him, but also can practice multiple true meanings of martial arts.
Whether it is the former or the latter, there is still a long way to go.
That's why Su Chen said these words. If he has gained something in these nine years, it doesn't matter whether he goes to Guiyi Secret Realm or not.
If there is really no gain at all, he may consider returning to the Ziyang Sect and enter the Guiyi Secret Realm to give it a try.
The future is unknown and everything remains to be determined.
After leaving Chiyang Peak, Su Chen packed up his things and left the inner city.
After arriving in the outer city, Su Chen went to the Wanhai Chamber of Commerce to inquire about the news. The result was the same as before, there was no news about Wanyi Gong.
Undeterred, he purchased maps of surrounding cities and prepared to go to other places to continue inquiring about information.
What Su Chen didn't know was that shortly after he left the Ziyang Sect, the entire Ziyang Sect was in turmoil.
"What? If Su Chen goes out to practice, he might have to give up his spot in the Guiyi Secret Realm?"
"What? Su Chen is going out for training and plans to give up his spot in the Guiyi Secret Realm?"
"What? Su Chen went out to practice and gave up his spot in the Guiyi Secret Realm?"
"..."
In less than a day, the news about Su Chen giving up his place in the Guiyi Secret Realm spread like a plague to the entire Ziyang Sect.
Shang Shuo and others who heard the news expressed disbelief, but the latest news they received was that Su Chen had indeed left the Ziyang Sect.
"Su Chen, is he crazy?"
Not only Shang Shuo and others had this idea, but all the warriors in the Ziyang Sect who knew Su Chen all had the same idea.
Give up the qualification to enter the Guiyi Secret Realm and choose to go out to experience and understand the true meaning of martial arts. If you succeed, then it's okay, but what if you fail?
In their view, this kind of behavior is simply picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon, completely putting the cart before the horse.
No one is optimistic about Su Chen.
He believed that even with Su Chen's talent, he might not be able to comprehend the true meaning of martial arts within nine years.
"Instead of taking a good road and choosing the path with the least results, I can only say that Su Chen wasted his talent too much."
"Yes, Guiyi Secret Realm can at least help him reduce his time by half, but now he has given up. He is really... confused!"
"Anyway, I don't think he can understand the true meaning of martial arts in nine years."
"I have always admired him, but I didn't expect that he would take such a foolish step. You know, those warriors who were defeated by him have been secretly comparing themselves to him."
"Don't forget that he didn't realize the true meaning of martial arts by then. Yuanwu, Jue Wuya, and Nie Long were the first to comprehend the true meaning of martial arts."
"..."
Discussions like this emerged one after another within the Ziyang Sect, sweeping towards the entire Shengyuan Kingdom.
Within about half a month, the matter spread to the ears of all major sects.
Shangyuan Palace.
"Su Chen gave up his spot in the Guiyi Secret Realm?"
When Yuan Wu heard the news, he didn't believe it at first. After confirming it again and again, he couldn't help but look happy.
Before, he was worried that Su Chen would understand the true meaning of martial arts faster than him, but now he is completely relieved.
In the history of Shengyuan Kingdom, it is not that no one has understood the true meaning of martial arts within nine years, but there are only a handful of them, and each of them has gone down in history and achieved great fame.
Even Ji Ziyang of the Ziyang Sect took decades to succeed on this path.
He didn't think that Su Chen could compare to Ji Ziyang, let alone those warriors who were even more powerful than Ji Ziyang.
Yuan Wu knew that Su Chen wanted to understand the true meaning of martial arts on his own, but this path was not easy to succeed.
Maybe after nine years, Su Chen finally gained nothing.
By then, it would be too late for him to regret it.
We can only wait for the next time the secret realm of Guiyi opens, and enter it to understand the true meaning of martial arts.
But nineteen years have passed, and they may have already understood the true meaning of martial arts and entered a stronger realm.
But Su Chen is still standing still, maybe even going backwards!
"Haha, how stupid!"
Yuan Wu sneered and expressed his evaluation of Su Chen's behavior.
at the same time.
The Tianjiao disciples who had fought against Su Chen had different expressions when they heard the news.
Or surprised, or ridiculed, or gloating... just to name a few.
But these have nothing to do with Su Chen.
On the third day after leaving Ziyang Sect, Su Chen did not expect that he would meet the deputy sect leader Yang Jiu.
"Deputy sect leader." Su Chen cupped his hands and said.
Yang Jiu nodded and said straight to the point: "I heard that you are going out to practice and plan to give up your spot in the Guiyi Secret Realm?"
"Yeah." Su Chen nodded.
Hearing this, Yang Jiu took a deep look at Su Chen with complicated eyes.
He asked gently: "This road is not so easy. Have you decided?"
"It's decided." Su Chen replied seriously.
After a moment of silence, Yang Jiu chuckled: "Since you have decided, I don't have anything to say, so just go and give it a try."
"Thank you, Deputy Sect Master."
Yang Jiu did not leave, but came to Su Chen and asked, "Do you know how many ways there are to understand the true meaning of martial arts?"
"Two kinds?" Su Chen said after hesitating for a moment.
One is true intention, and the other is retreat and deep cultivation.
"Yes, that's not right either." Yang Jiu said inscrutably.
Seeing that Su Chen was puzzled, he explained: "Actually, there is another kind."
He looked at Su Chen and said with a hint: "At the beginning, Ji Ziyang was just like you, going out to practice and comprehend the true meaning of his own martial arts."
Hearing Ji Ziyang again, Su Chen was slightly touched. He asked, "Did Ji Ziyang succeed in the end?"
The deputy sect leader did not answer, but the expression on his face told Su Chen the answer.
Su Chen fell silent, not disappointed, but more determined in his thoughts.
At this time, the deputy sect master's calm voice sounded: "This third method of understanding the true meaning of martial arts is called 'refining the heart'."
Refining the mind?
Su Chen was stunned when he heard this.
The deputy sect leader smiled and explained: "This is what Ji Ziyang told me. It is similar to your current situation, and it may be helpful to you."
After a pause, he added: "In addition, he also told me something."
"What words?"
"Small cultivation is in the mountains and forests, major cultivation is in the world!"
