Extraordinary Cultivation Continent

At about eight or nine o'clock on the third day, Lin Neng, six kings and a group of more than 20 people rode in multiple dragon carriages before returning to Prince Fan's Mansion. Aqi, who was responsible for guarding the gate, had already sent someone to report quickly. Got Zhang Chaofan. Zhang Chaofan hurriedly led everyone to greet them outside. Within a few steps of walking out of the main hall, the Six Kings and their group had already appeared in front of them. After a while of greetings from both sides, the Six Kings and others were invited into the main hall.

After entering the main hall, Lin Xuanru sat next to her mother, the Sixth Princess. The mother and daughter seemed to have endless things to say, so they started talking quietly indifferently. Lin Xiaoyun and Bai Qilin, both women, also gathered together and chattered with Lin Xuanru and her daughter. After everyone was seated, Zhang Chaofan ordered Zhang Yue and Zhang Yun to place the spiritual fruits and snacks that had been prepared long ago, and presented the fragrant spiritual tea.

The Six Kings asked Zhang Chaofan: "Little guy, I heard your cousin Lin Neng say that you have cultivation experience to share with everyone. Is this true?" Zhang Chaofan said humbly: "As your descendant, I I haven't been practicing for a long time, so where can I share my experience in cultivation? And you are highly respected, so I can only ask you for advice." The Sixth King laughed and said, "You little guy, you still have a sweet mouth! I see. Don't be humble. I, an old man, can reach the state of divine transformation only because of your gift. Little guy, your qualifications and talents are rare to see in millions of years. Old man, I can't even catch up with you, so, you If you have good cultivation experiences to share with us, you are helping us. You don’t have to worry about our faces or make us embarrassed. Being able to share your cultivation experience can be said to be what we dream of!"

Zhang Chaofan said with a smile: "Grandpa, you are all my relatives, and it is what I should do to help you in your cultivation. Let's not chat here anymore, let's seize the time, and let's discuss it together as soon as possible "Okay." The six kings said, "Okay, then you go and make arrangements now. When it starts, we will just come over and participate."

Zhang Chaofan stood up and left the main hall, heading for the Wen Dao Hall where he preached. After arriving at the Wen Dao Hall, Zhang Chaofan asked Hong Zhu, who was busy here, to send someone to notify the rest except for the two gate guards. Everyone in the other royal palaces came to the Wen Dao Hall to listen to his sermon. After a while, more than 30 people in the palace, except the two gate guards, arrived at the Wen Dao Hall on time. Zhang Chaofan asked everyone to save the seats in the first row for the Six Kings and others. elder.

Seeing that all the people in the palace had arrived, Zhang Chaofan returned to the main hall and told the Six Kings that other staff had gathered. He asked the Six Kings and others to move to the Taoist Hall before they could start preaching. After the six kings heard about it, they got up and led the people to follow Zhang Chaofan to Wen Daotang. Soon after entering the Wen Dao Hall, the Six Kings and others sat down in the reserved seats.

After everyone who was supposed to come arrived, Zhang Chaofan said no more, sat down on the podium in front and began to preach. Just listen to Zhang Chaofan say: "Everyone, today I invite you to come over and share some of the cultivation experiences I have summarized in the past cultivation process to give you some reference in cultivation. I hope you don't dislike it. Before we really start, I I want to ask you a question, and this question is: What is the purpose of your cultivation?"

Hearing Zhang Chaofan's question, everyone present began to think seriously, thinking about what they are practicing for, and what is the purpose of practicing? Is it to become an immortal and achieve enlightenment, to transcend nature and gain great freedom; or to strengthen the body, to become stronger, to change one's own destiny, to not be bullied by others in this world of the jungle and to become a master; or just to Follow the trend, in this world where monasticism is prevalent, keep up with everyone's footsteps, and don't let yourself fall too behind and be out of tune with the people around you.

Although Zhang Chaofan asked questions, he did not expect them to answer. He had only one purpose in asking questions, and that was to arouse everyone's interest in listening. Zhang Chaofan continued: "I don't care what the purpose of everyone's cultivation is, but I can tell you what the purpose of my cultivation is. What is the purpose of my cultivation? My purpose of cultivation is not only to hear the Tao, but also to master the Tao. , transcend the Dao, be above the Dao, allow yourself to become an immortal, and become a being on par with heaven and earth, not bound by heaven and earth, transcending heaven and earth, able to fly freely among the celestial bodies in the universe, and let yourself become the same as the heaven and earth. The eternity of the coexistence of heaven and earth is the goal of my cultivation."

Having said this, Zhang Chaofan took a breath, looked around at everyone, and then continued: "I not only want to become an immortal and become a Taoist myself, but I also want to help everyone present to hear the Tao and become a Tao, and try my best to reach the goal that can be achieved." Height, this is the purpose of sharing my cultivation experience with you today. Of course, everyone has different qualifications and talents, different opportunities and personalities, and different levels of effort. Therefore, under the combined effect of various factors, everyone can ultimately achieve Their achievements will also be different, and the heights they can reach will also be different."

After taking a breath, Zhang Chaofan continued: "As for cultivation, I think external factors can only be used as auxiliary factors, and internal factors are the main factor. If a person is dull in nature and there is no turning point, then, The achievements he can achieve will be extremely limited. In the low-level realm, as long as the talent is decent and you can work hard, it is generally not difficult to make progress. However, after reaching the Nascent Soul realm, you must not only have Applicable exercises require a certain level of understanding and the ability to understand the ways of heaven and earth. The degree of understanding of the ways of heaven and earth will still determine the level of a person's cultivation achievements."

"If you only have a rough understanding of the Tao, but cannot fully understand it, and cannot find the true meaning of the Tao, then you can only surface it. Then you can only understand some of the superficial aspects of the Tao, and you can only use some of the rough branches of the Tao. At the end of the day, if you fail to conform your body to the Tao, you may even create your own Tao principles and have your own way."

"What is the Tao? It is the inner truth and inner essence of all existing things. People can hear the Tao from different ways, and they can hear the Tao from a macro perspective, which means treating all things as a whole, perceiving the connections between them, and finding out the connections between them. To find out the interconnection and influence between all things, whether they are interdependent or mutually exclusive, etc., after understanding and comprehending, this is a method of listening to the Tao; you can also understand the Tao from a microscopic level, you can perceive the internal relationship of a certain thing, and comprehend the Tao. Finding out the internal composition and internal structure of this thing is also a kind of hearing." At this point, Zhang Chaofan stopped again. He was leaving some time for everyone to understand and digest. What he taught.

At this time, someone in the crowd asked: "Prince Fan, what can we do to truly hear and understand the Tao, and then have our own way?" Zhang Chaofan did not answer immediately, but asked everyone to do some thinking on their own, and borrowed Take a break.

After everyone rested for a while, Zhang Chaofan continued again: "As for specific people, whether they can hear the Tao, understand the Tao, and have their own way is restricted by various factors, such as the right time, the right location, Humanity and harmony, these factors are all indispensable. The right time means that one can realize a certain principle at the right time; the right location means that one can realize a certain principle at the right occasion; harmony means that one has to have With good interpersonal relationships, only by receiving inspiration from the right people can you realize a certain Tao. Of course, for those who realize the Tao, their own qualifications and talents are also a crucial factor. They are internal factors and occupy a dominant position. If a person is born If you are stupid, you will not be able to seize opportunities smoothly, correctly perceive the right time and location, let alone take advantage of people and people."

After Zhang Chaofan took a breath, he continued: "People's qualifications and talents can also be improved and improved with the help of external objects and the environment. They are not static. For example, they can be improved by swallowing suitable heavenly materials and earthly treasures. A practitioner's qualifications and talents in a certain aspect. When one's own qualifications and talents are improved and improved, the ability to seize opportunities can also be improved accordingly. In this way, enlightenment will be correspondingly easier."

After a brief pause, Zhang Chaofan continued: "To achieve enlightenment, we can rely on the experience summarized by our predecessors, that is, reading a lot of secret books, treasures, and the experiences of predecessors in cultivation, and climbing up by standing on the shoulders of our predecessors; moreover, we can also rely on the people around us , such as getting guidance from teachers, parents, elders, friends, etc., of course, these are just the category of external factors. The most important thing is to rely on yourself. Only when you find the right direction and practice the right skills, can you achieve what you want. The result of practice. Generally speaking, the exercises are obtained by the predecessors through a series of summaries and innovations during the practice process. Therefore, the exercises are good things that can be relied on. Of course, some exercises also have many shortcomings. and fallacies, you need to carefully identify them in the process of cultivation and enlightenment, absorb the essence, remove the dross, and choose to use it. I have a good method for cultivating the soul. Except for a very few people who I have taught it to, everyone present I can teach it to everyone, please practice it well and you will definitely gain something."

With that said, Zhang Chaofan casually took out a jade tablet containing Taixu Divine Soul Technique, handed it to the six kings, and asked them to rub it into the soul sea one by one, and then find opportunities to practice in the future, and wait until everyone who needs it has rubbed it. After finishing, Zhang Chaofan took back the jade token. One thing to clarify is that the Taixu Divine Soul Technique in this jade tablet is a simplified version of the technique, which only includes the visualization method of cultivating the soul. As for the methods of applying the soul, they have been omitted and are not included.

After taking back the jade slip, Zhang Chaofan continued to preach: "Anyone who succeeds in cultivating Taoism needs a strong character. Eternal perseverance is essential. If you spend three days fishing and two days drying nets, it is impossible to achieve it." Successful. In the process of enlightenment, most of the time is boring. If it is just a whim and cannot be persevered, it is impossible to realize the truth, that is, you cannot find the true meaning of anything. To be able to listen to the bells in the morning and the drums in the evening, nothing Only by not slacking off can we embrace the Tao, throw ourselves into the embrace of the Tao, bathe in the ocean of the Tao, and be intoxicated in the Tao."

"There are no shortcuts or smooth roads to all enlightenments. Diligence is the only way. The flowers of the avenue need to be watered with sweat, and only with the watering of a lot of sweat can the flowers of the avenue bloom colorfully. Diligence is the eternal theme, laziness A lazy man is destined to miss the great road."

"Cultivation is also a step-by-step process. Remember not to aim too high. Only by laying a solid foundation can we build high-rise buildings on top of it. Otherwise, even if we barely reach the high place, it may collapse. At that time, if we start all over again, we will It will be too late to remedy the situation.”

"In short, if you want to understand the Tao and grasp the essence of the Tao, you have to work step by step, down-to-earth, step by step, practice diligently and gain insights. Diligence is the stepping stone, and enlightenment is the fruit; you must be good at grasping the slightest opportunity. Seize all opportunities that are fleeting, and success often belongs to those who are always prepared; perseverance and perseverance are equally indispensable, and it is impossible to embrace the road by giving up halfway."

"In addition, you must have broad interests and be close to nature. Opportunities are often found actively. Opportunities will not come to those who only wait. Don't just practice alone, let alone be arrogant. Be good at learning from others. , absorb as much as possible the successful experiences of others, and avoid doing things behind closed doors.”

Zhang Chaofan continued: "This is what I have gained from practicing these days. I would like to share it with you all. In fact, the real purpose of inviting you here today has not been revealed yet. My real purpose is: I want to tell you that there is no need to rush. , I have found the way to be promoted after reaching the realm of transformation. I believe this will be of great help to you in the future. In our southern mountainous area, I don’t know why, the way of heaven is incomplete, and the highest realm It has been suppressed below the Nascent Soul Realm. Since ancient times, the realm has been suppressed below the Nascent Soul Realm. Therefore, after the Nascent Soul Realm, our monks in the southern mountainous areas want to continue to cultivate and break through. Not only do they lack the skills, but also the skills of cultivation. No one knows the method. However, from now on, as long as one's actual realm breaks through to the realm of transformation, even if you are here, there will be no delay in joining the path to overcome the tribulation. Because, as long as you choose a path that exists in the southern mountainous area, it will be complete and not The incomplete Tao can be cultivated and built into its own avenue, and it can also be combined with the Tao here. As long as the combination of the Tao is successful, it can still lead to heavenly tribulation. As long as the tribulation is successfully overcome, it will be a monk in the realm of overcoming the tribulation. Become a monk in the realm of overcoming the tribulation. After that, we are almost at the top of the entire continent. Where else on the continent can we go? By then, won’t Zhongzhou on the mainland be free to come and go as we please? After arriving in Zhongzhou, we will be close to reaching The Mahayana realm will not be too far away. However, there is also a process of being in harmony with the Dao. First, we must be in harmony with the Dao, then we must possess the charm of the Dao, and then we must integrate the Dao and transform into the Dao. That is, we must realize that the Dao is me. , I am the Tao, and we are no longer separated from each other. Taking myself as an example, I have cultivated two avenues now, namely the Space Avenue and the Yin-Yang Avenue. The two avenues I am currently in are also in different realms. I have reached the stage of possessing the Tao Yun of the Space Avenue, and I am still in the stage of conforming to the Yin-Yang Avenue. As long as I practice one of the two avenues to the point where I can transform into the Tao, it will cause a heavenly tribulation. After surviving the heavenly tribulation, , I will become a monk in the Tribulation Realm and can be called a Venerable."

What else will Zhang Chaofan talk about later? Did he end this exchange of cultivation experiences as soon as possible? What did Zhang Chaofan do after that?

If you want to know what happened next, the next chapter will be more exciting.
