Chapter 69 Breakthrough
In the depths of the swamp more than 500 miles away from Youning City, Gu Xiuyun's figure dived into the dark lake like a phantom.
After a while, he arrived at the spiritual liquid pool at the end of the cave.
The pond was empty. There was no foreign object except the smooth stone wall. The spiritual liquid pool array had not yet been opened. With only the stalactites above, it would not condense a few drops of stalactite spiritual liquid in a year.
"It's a pity for this spiritual liquid pool. If I can understand the pass and open the array, I can practice in the cave all year round, and the effect should be no less than that of my fourth uncle's quiet room." Looking at the complex array patterns on the stone wall, Gu Xiuyun sighed.
The spiritual liquid pool array is extremely complex, far from being comparable to the mist array. If the mist array is considered a low-grade array, then the gathering spirit array that gathers stalactite spiritual liquid is at least a high-grade array. The gap between them is like the gap between Douxiao Realm and Ximai Realm.
Gu Xiuyun activated the black tortoise shell and tried to deduce the array patterns on the stone wall. After a while, he felt dizzy and as if his mind could not bear it.
"Sure enough, the array foundation is too poor, and I forced myself to deduce the mysteries of the array of the spirit liquid pool. It is too stressful for my mind." Gu Xiuyun shook his head and sighed, "The mist array is relatively simple, but the array of the spirit liquid pool is a hundred times more complicated, and it is even more difficult to deduce. It is not something I can do now."
The deduction of the heavenly secret is not omnipotent.
Any deduction must have a certain foundation before it can be extended. If it is just a simple search for traces, you only need to sense the mysteries of the heavenly secrets, and you will naturally understand it, because there is no mystery.
But the array, the changes of the world, contains the power of the world. Even if you follow the guidance of the heavenly secrets, it is still mysterious, like a mess. You must analyze and understand it yourself to truly understand it.
If Gu Xiuyun has systematically studied the array and has a solid foundation, he still has a three-point hope to comprehend the array of the spirit liquid pool.
But he only had a little understanding of the formation from his previous life as a member of the Tianming Clan, and had only a vague understanding of the formation. In the final analysis, he was just an outsider. It was like a fool's dream to comprehend the profound formation of the Spirit Liquid Pool with such a foundation.
"Forget it, let's open the Heavenly Gate first!" Gu Xiuyun didn't think about it any more.
He tapped his hands in succession, and several spiritual powers flowed into the formation veins, opening the mist formation that protected the Spirit Liquid Pool.
Soon, the mist enveloped the entire cave.
Gu Xiuyun sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and adjusted his breath for a moment, then began to circulate his spiritual power and tried to open the Heavenly Gate.
In his perception, the place where the spiritual vein was located was an independent world, but there was still a wider sky outside the world.
His destiny Heavenly Gate seemed to be the top layer of the thousand-layer cake. Deep in the thousand-layer cake, there were more Heavenly Gates hidden, but because of his insufficient realm, he could not touch them.
But in the blur, the Heavenly Gate seemed like a bone, occupying only a part of the body. He had to open up every bone and penetrate the whole body to make himself completely full and complete.
"What exactly is the Heavenly Gate?" Gu Xiuyun asked in his heart.
No one can answer this question.
Since ancient times, whether it is the demon race or the human race, they have enlightened the spiritual veins, then opened up the Heavenly Gate, and practiced step by step to the peak. What exactly is the Heavenly Gate?
Perhaps only after reaching the peak can we understand.
Following the perception in his heart, Gu Xiuyun filled the depths of the Heavenly Gate with spiritual power. Gradually, his spiritual power seemed to hit a mountain, which was tall and handsome, and the spiritual power river blocked the front.
At this moment, Gu Xiuyun's heart echoed the chapter of seeking truth, and ancient characters flashed in the depths of his soul. In front of him, the black armor of the spirit turtle danced in the air, drawing lines.
Each ancient character contains infinite changes. If you only rely on a single ancient character, you can't understand the mysteries of the practice of the Dao Qiu Zhen Pian. Only by putting them together into a paragraph can you understand the true meaning.
"The flesh is like a ferry. The way of cultivation is to use the flesh as a carrier to cross to the other side. But the depths of the avenue are like the ocean under a storm, full of raging waves. If you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die. Therefore, the way of cultivation must first build a perfect flesh treasure ship."
Gu Xiuyun followed the ancient characters in the Taoist scriptures and understood the true meaning of the Kaimai realm.
The Yuanling Ximai realm still belongs to the stage of enlightening the spirit veins. Only when you enter the Kaimai realm can you be considered a true practitioner.
The first step of cultivation is to open the gate of heaven and open the treasure of the flesh, so that you have enough strength to go to the other side of the avenue.
"Legend has it that there are seven great ways between heaven and earth, supporting the infinite world. The Dao Master sacrificed himself to become a Daoist, evolving infinite light and enlightening the mortal world. From then on, all things in the world have bred seven Dao seeds.
And those seven Dao seeds are the Heavenly Gate."
Gu Xiuyun suddenly thought of this passage.
This passage came from the Danjing Tower and was recorded on the first page of the Ancient Characters. After seeing it, Gu Xiuyun didn't care.
But at this moment, he once again comprehended the Dao Seeking Truth Chapter, and unexpectedly realized this passage in the Dao Sutra. At the same time, the Heavenly Gate Mountain in his body trembled, as if it was constantly disintegrating under the scouring of the water.
"Perhaps, the Dao Master really exists in the world, otherwise how did the great way of cultivation come down?" Gu Xiuyun whispered in his heart, "That kind of existence is too far away from me, so I'd better concentrate on comprehending the secrets of breaking through the gate."
The ancient characters kept circulating in his heart, deriving a series of secrets, but they were all abandoned by Gu Xiuyun.
The Dao-Seeking Truth Chapter contains infinite mysteries. The same paragraph of text can be used to comprehend thousands of methods, but only one is truly suitable for Gu Xiuyun.
He did not have the magical power of knowing the meaning of words by hearing them in his previous life, so he could only rely on his own deduction method.
After a long time, a concise technique flowed in his mind. The moment he saw this technique, Gu Xiuyun felt an invisible sense of comfort, as if every change of this technique was perfectly matched with himself.
"That's it!"
Gu Xiuyun closed his eyes, and his spiritual power flowed with the technique. The torrent of spiritual power dispersed into countless small streams, sweeping across the Tianguan Mountain.
To open up the Tianguan, you can't use brute force to forcibly collide with it, otherwise it will only cause the Tianguan to collapse and the road to be cut off.
And the technique to break through the gate is actually the method of refining the Tianguan.
As the saying goes, spring rain moistens things silently. Every Tianguan has a corresponding refining method. The first Tianguan that Gu Xiuyun encountered was the Shanxing Pass.
As the stream of spiritual power merged into the depths of the rocks, tender shoots grew out from the ground. The seeds of these tender shoots originally existed in the depths of the Shanxing Pass, but there was no spiritual power to nourish them, so they slept underground without revealing any traces.
The spiritual power was like spring rain, blending into the soil and rocks, nourishing the earth and the seeds, so the grass grew, the birds flew, and all things revived.
Yamagata Pass was like a real mountain, with countless buds sprouting, and those buds quickly grew and turned into towering trees, devouring the nutrients of the rocks and splitting the complete mountain into pieces.
