Chapter 62 A New Understanding of the Tai Chi Diagram

Luan Qingyu was stunned. The experience of being in the endless quiet darkness was too profound. As her six senses and even her seventh sense were blocked, her sense of time was completely disordered. She didn't even know how long she had been trapped.

During that period of time, it seemed like a moment of negligence, but also like thousands of years had been wasted. Her sense of existence was weakened to the extreme. If her mind had not been still functioning, she would have thought that she had already died.

In the void, only the flashes of thought were so dazzling, every thought was so real, and the kaleidoscope of memories were so clear. She had never felt that being "alive" stripped of everything was so real, so real that everything was "nothing" except herself.

The Nascent Soul state is the birth of the source of life, a flash of inspiration in the void. The Return to Void state is the full recognition of the existence of self-consciousness. The endless void thoughts move, and today I know that I am myself!
Despite Senior Brother Wen's incomprehensible actions, Luan Qingyu seemed to have a feeling in her heart, as if some idea was about to emerge, and the Return to Void Realm was no longer a blank to her.

There is no doubt that Wen Rui inspired her inspiration. No matter what method she used, the final result was that the cultivation accumulation and mental cognition of a cultivator who had just been promoted from Jindan to Yuanying was forcibly promoted to the point where he was just a thin layer of window paper away from breaking through to the Return to Void Realm.

If it were just a matter of infusing strength to forcibly increase the realm, many powerful people could do it easily. However, for the cultivators who have been promoted in this way, there is a huge gap between their state of mind and their cultivation. They cannot fully understand the realm they are in, and their powerful immortal bodies become a cage for their fragile spirits.

This is also the biggest problem for cultivators promoted to the immortal level by the Supreme God. They have mastered the power, but not completely. They may be deprived of everything at any time by the being who gave them the power.

However, Senior Brother Wen's teaching allowed Luan Qingyu to advance steadily step by step, increasing his cultivation while inspiring his thoughts. If he could grasp that vague inspiration and continue to comprehend it in depth along the thread of inspiration, breaking through to the Return to Void realm would be a piece of cake.

By then, they will be surrounded by a group of cultivators in the Return to Void Realm, who will also be the best at understanding the basic concepts of this realm more thoroughly. They will be able to look down upon those in the same realm and will be countless times stronger than those who have accumulated countless spiritual energy but have shallow knowledge.

When he first met Senior Brother Wen, Luan Qingyu thought he was just an ordinary man and secretly despised him. He even wanted to test him and give him a warning. If he could knock him down with one punch, he wouldn't have to waste time asking him for help.

At this moment, the girl stared at the ordinary-looking, even a little ugly man outside the glass jar. Her mentality had completely changed. Not to mention that she did not dare to despise him, she had already placed his status higher than her master Caiyunxian, and felt infinite respect for him.

Luan Qingyu was very sure that even Immortal Master Caiyun might not be able to do what Senior Brother Wen did. Even though she was already an immortal, she could not explain the concept of the Return to Void Realm so thoroughly from so many aspects, combining theory with practical experience to enable a disciple who had no idea about it to gain valuable inspiration.

The girl even felt that Wen Rui was more suitable to be her master than Cai Yunxian. It was not because Cai Yunxian was not good, but because she was too casual and lacked the strictness that Senior Brother Wen had in spurring his disciples.

A strict teacher produces excellent students. Even though he was abused, Luan Qingyu was unaware of it and thought it was natural.

This is the reason why there are all kinds of birds in the forest. Most of the disciples of Caiyun Peak like the easy-going and gentle Master Caiyun. However, a struggling bird like Luan Qingyu is an exception. She prefers to endure hardships and keep improving under the spur of the strict but highly skilled master until she regains the glory that belongs to the holy bird clan.

"Remember that 'sense of presence'?"

Wen Rui's words interrupted Luan Qingyu's thoughts, and she nodded quickly like a chick pecking at rice.

"Very good, listen carefully to my explanation. If everything goes well, I will break through the thin veil of your knowledge and understanding obstacles in one fell swoop today!"

"Hey, can you teach me how to break through the realm today?"

Luan Qingyu couldn't believe his ears. Senior Brother is really good at teaching, isn't he? There are many teachers in Lishan Immortal Sect who have already broken through to the realm of returning to the void, but being able to break through the realm themselves doesn't mean they can easily teach their disciples to break through the realm.

When the Tathagata Buddha was explaining the scriptures, the Scorpion Spirit and the Rat Spirit who were listening to the class for free did not say that they could become Buddhas immediately. Not to mention becoming a Buddha, it was impossible for them to even attain the first level of Arhat. Wen Rui didn't care whether the little blue bird believed it or not. He pushed forward the teaching progress on his own, controlling the 3D projector to generate a standard Tai Chi Yin Yang fish pattern in front of Luan Qingyu.

"Remember this pattern. You should use it as the basis for your visualization when practicing."

“Well, I also meditated every day when I was practicing…”

"When you look at a mountain from the side, it looks like a mountain; when you look at it from the front, it looks like a peak; it looks different from different distances and heights. Your perception of this picture will be different depending on your cognitive position."

Wen Rui sneered and said, "You all read it in vain before. Now read it again carefully as I explain it, and understand it again!"

“As you command… Master, Master, oh no, brother!”

"First, look at the Yin fish part, and focus on the white dot at the fish eye, which represents the Yang." Wen Rui pointed at the picture and said, "Do you understand the true meaning of that white dot?"

"Does it represent the birth of yin and yang, the fusion of yin and yang?"

"Don't generalize!" Wen Rui said, "Only by combining theory with practice can you cultivate immortality. You need to combine your experience just now to understand this little bit of yang in the extreme yin."

"Uh..." The girl fell into deep thought.

"You are trapped in darkness and nothingness. Do you feel that everything is negative?" Wen Rui enlightened bit by bit.

The girl nodded hurriedly: "Yes! It's like falling into an endless abyss, constantly falling into nothingness!"

"'I think, therefore I am', isn't your thought the only existence in the infinite Taiyin void? It is a tiny bit of Yuanyang in the infinite Taiyin!"

These words were like a revelation to Luan Qingyu. He suddenly saw a side of the Tai Chi diagram that he had never seen before. His understanding of the Yin Fish in the Tai Chi diagram deepened immeasurably.

This is the understanding gained from personal experience, which is easier to accept than any classic secret mysterious musical notes or immortal sounds!
Is this what Senior Brother Wen said, that cultivating immortals also requires combining theory with practice?

Yin can represent non-existence, so that bit of primordial Yang is the flash of thought that suddenly appears in nothingness, giving birth to "existence" from non-existence.

"Look at the Yang fish part of the Tai Chi Yin Yang fish. Why does the extreme Yang contain a little bit of Yuan Yin? Don't tell me that Yang is the root of Yin."

"This... I... I guess it has something to do with 'I think, therefore I am'?"

Before Luan Qingyu had fully digested the understanding of the Yin Fish part, she was faced with a new question. She didn't know how to answer it for a moment, but she keenly recalled the concise sentence "I think, therefore I am" mentioned by Senior Brother Wen at the beginning, and answered it without hesitation.
