Chapter 311 Heavenly Way

After learning the new fireball technique, Mo Hua spent all his thoughts on the formation.

After a few days, after Mo Hua mastered the reverse spirit formation, he went to ask Mr. Zhuang for advice. Mr. Zhuang pondered for a moment, but suddenly asked:

"Hua'er, cultivators seek the way of heaven. Do you know what the way of heaven is?"

Mo Hua thought for a while and replied: "Immortality?"

"Immortality is the result, not the way of heaven itself."

"Isn't immortality the same as attaining the way?" Mo Hua asked.

Mr. Zhuang looked at Mo Hua and said earnestly:

"Cultivators attain the way of heaven and immortality. Only by comprehending the great way and practicing the way of heaven can they eventually achieve immortality."

"If you don't comprehend the way of heaven and practice the laws of the great way, you will dream of immortality. This is to miss the point and will inevitably go astray."

Mo Hua seemed to understand, but still nodded and remembered Mr. Zhuang's words.

"Then are the five elements considered the way of heaven?" Mo Hua thought for a while and asked again.

"Yes," said Mr. Zhuang.

"If the five elements count..." Mo Hua continued thinking, "Do the two yin and yang, three talents, four images, and seven stars count? Or are the ways of using spiritual consciousness, physical body, and spiritual power all considered a kind of heavenly way?"

Mo Hua was a little unsure.

Mr. Zhuang nodded.

Mo Hua was startled, "If so, isn't the great way too complicated..."

Mr. Zhuang said, "The great way is endless and encompasses everything. Everything in this world, every blade of grass, every flower, and every tree, is in accordance with the heavenly way."

Seeing that Mo Hua didn't quite understand, Mr. Zhuang explained:

"The ancient cultivators looked up at the sky, looked down at the geography, and observed the various forms of all things in the world. They understood the laws of the operation of the power of heaven and earth, and then created all the methods of cultivation such as the gong method, the dao method, and various categories of cultivation such as the array, the elixir, and the talisman."

"One of the world's Everything follows the Way of Heaven, and the strength of the cultivators also comes from the Way of Heaven. "

Mo Hua pondered carefully and wondered:

"Everything in the world follows the Way of Heaven, so what about those who violate the Way of Heaven? Are they following it or violating it?"

"The so-called violation of the Way of Heaven is actually following the Way of Heaven."

Mr. Zhuang explained, "The Great Dao has birth and death. Those who follow the Way of Heaven follow the Way of 'birth', and those who violate the Way of Heaven follow the Way of 'death'."

Mo Hua suddenly understood something.

The Way of Heaven is divided into two yin and yang, which judge and complement each other.

Existence and non-existence are mutually generated, birth and death are compared, good and evil are compared, and good and evil follow each other.

Everything is the Way, and all human behaviors also follow the "Way", but some "Ways" are endless, and some "Ways" can only destroy themselves.

Mo Hua thought about it again, but still didn't quite understand:

"If everything in the world follows the Way of Heaven, then everything we see and hear is the Way. What is the Way of Heaven for the monks to seek?"

Mr. Zhuang said: "The Great Way is all-encompassing, but it also means chaos and confusion, there is good and evil, there is truth and falsehood, there are appearances and true natures."

"People have eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, and things have colors, sounds, smells, tastes and touches. What we see, hear and know every day is intertwined with good and bad, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. Over time, we will naturally indulge in vanity and shallowness, and it will be difficult to see the true nature of the Great Way."

Mo Hua's eyes lit up, and then he said:

"Just like looking at a visualization picture, do you have to see through the appearance and peek into the true nature?"

Mr. Zhuang looked pleased and nodded slightly.

Mo Hua was a little confused again, "Then what is the true nature of the Tao?"

Mr. Zhuang said: "You have to think about it yourself. As long as you have not become an immortal, the Tao you know is not the essential Tao. Some are even flawed or even wrong."

Mr. Zhuang laughed again and said: "I have never become an immortal, so what I tell you must be wrong. The true nature I know may only be a deeper appearance, not the ultimate Tao."

"I understand, sir." Mo Hua nodded, "Only the principles you understand by yourself are your own. Otherwise, no matter how much others say, no matter how right they are, I have never understood them, and I can't understand them."

"So to seek the way of heaven, you have to rely on your own understanding. Even if you have a superficial understanding at the beginning, as long as you keep thinking and comprehending, you will be able to understand them. By removing the false and retaining the true, you can finally see the true nature of the Tao. "

Mr. Zhuang nodded and said, "That's right."

Mo Hua smiled, and then said uncertainly, "Sir, I'm just refining my Qi now, and I'm thinking about comprehending the Heavenly Dao. Isn't it too early..."

Mr. Zhuang shook his head and said gently:

"Practice starts with refining Qi, and enlightenment also starts from bit by bit, step by step, from low to high, from weak to strong, from shallow to deep, and finally you can shape the heart of Tao and truly comprehend the Tao. "

"Just like you look at this world, looking down from a high position, you will be blinded by your own high position, and you can only see yourself; only by looking from the bottom, looking at the people of the world, and seeing the sufferings of the cultivators, can you see the most essential things in this world. "

Mo Hua nodded, thinking.

But after all, he was young and had limited experience. Although he roughly knew what Mr. Zhuang meant, he had not seen the wider cultivation world outside Tongxian City, so his experience was not deep enough.

Mr. Zhuang sighed slightly, "I didn't want to tell you these truths now. It's too early to tell you now..."

But if I don't tell you now, I may not have time to tell you later...

Mo Hua was startled, and understood what Mr. Zhuang meant, then nodded solemnly and said:

"Sir, I remember it all!"

Mr. Zhuang smiled slightly and said:

"If you understand this principle, I can teach you how to use the Reverse Spirit Array."

Mo Hua was a little surprised, "Does the Reverse Spirit Array have anything to do with these?"

Mr. Zhuang said: "When cultivators seek the Heavenly Dao, there are both Dao Heart and cultivation. To seek the Great Dao, Dao Heart and cultivation are indispensable."

"What I said above is related to Dao Heart, and what I will teach you below is related to cultivation and formation, or in other words, it is the essence of the Heavenly Dao at the spiritual power level."

Mr. Zhuang's tone gradually slowed down, and his eyes gradually deepened.

Mo Hua's eyes were stern, and he sat upright and listened carefully.

Mr. Zhuang exhaled lightly, and then slowly said:

"The origin of heaven and earth is Qi. When the universe was first judged, Qi was created, and all things in the universe were derived."

"The first Qi is called the Qi of the universe. The Qi is chaotic and powerful. After many years, the chaos is cleansed and becomes the original Qi of all things."

"Among them, the purest and most concentrated one that can be refined and used by cultivators is spiritual Qi. Spiritual Qi contains the power of heaven, and this power is called spiritual power."

"Although there are different kinds of skills and Taoism in the world, they are all different. Fundamentally, it is the manifestation of spiritual power. "

"The magic of spiritual cultivation, and even the blood and strength of physical cultivation, look very different, but they are also the manifestation of spiritual power."

Mo Hua suddenly realized:

"So the power of the five elements, as well as magic, blood and strength are all superficial, and spiritual power is the source of these powers?"

Mr. Zhuang nodded, "Yes, all Taoist methods, whether magic or martial arts, are created by spiritual power."

"Is the formation the same?"

"The formation is also."

Mo Hua thought about it and understood.

The formation needs the formation eye to provide spiritual power, and the spiritual power flows through the formation pattern, and finally forms a completely different five-element formation power.

"Then what will be different about the reverse spirit formation?" Mo Hua asked.

Mr. Zhuang paused and said slowly:

"In ordinary formations, spiritual power is condensed and formed to form the power of the five elements. However, the reverse spiritual formation makes the spiritual power reverse and decompose, producing a purer destructive power that is closer to the origin of the Great Dao."

"The Great Dao is born and destroyed, it is born when it gathers, and it is destroyed when it is dissolved!"

"The reverse spiritual formation contains the destructive power of the Great Dao! What it really dissolves is not the formation, but the more essential spiritual power in the formation!"
