At the top of Fengge Mountain, after completing another seven-day cycle of training, Ye Yi'an's gingham shirt fluttered and he strolled to the dense forest on the south side of the mountain top. Standing on the edge of a cliff in a dense forest, bursts of mountain breeze carrying the fragrance of distant flowers and trees were blowing in his face. While these mountain breezes brought a slight chill, they were also trying to resolve the annoyance that had accumulated in his heart due to working too hard recently. Ye Yi stood quietly in the mountain breeze and let his clothes fly lightly. Looking at the sky at the dawn of dawn, he saw thousands of peaks competing in the mist and mist, lush and green, and the endless and clear things between heaven and earth. Feeling alive. Even though the mountain breeze is fresh and the scenery is picturesque, the boredom in his heart still cannot be dissipated. This is really an unprecedented experience for Ye Yi'an. After closing his eyes slightly and concentrating several times in succession but still to no avail, Ye Yi'an quietly became wary. Could this be the mental obstacle that Yan Ruyi once mentioned? The difficulty of the golden elixir road is not only the improvement of realm, but also the obstacles that are bound to be encountered on the road of practice. This kind of difficulty is called a mental obstacle for practitioners with a low level of spiritual practice. For those with a high level of spiritual practice, it is a legendary calamity. Roadblocks come without warning and the number of times is variable. They display different powers depending on the level of the practitioner. The higher the level of practice, the stronger the power of the roadblocks encountered. Otherwise, there will be no heaven. Jie Zhi said it. As a practitioner, encountering obstacles is almost an inevitable fate. The only difference is that Golden Core cultivators have the lowest chance of encountering them, and the average number of encounters is also the least; while Weapon cultivators have the highest chance of encountering them, and the number of encounters is also the most frequent. The Fu Lu cultivator and the Dinghuo cultivator are somewhere in between, but the details vary from person to person. Judging from Ye Yi'an's current level of cultivation, there shouldn't be any roadblocks - at least that's what Yan Ruyi said in her previous introduction. According to her, monks in the spiritual elixir stage will not face the journey of cultivation until the third heaven. This is the first mental obstacle, and it often only appears suddenly when the spiritual elixir stage breaks through to the true elixir stage. Why is mine advanced? Ye Yian will never think that this is the harbinger of another great leap in realm. How can there be so many flukes in the Golden Elixir Avenue! If this possibility is ruled out, then there can only be something wrong with his own practice. But what exactly is the problem? Is it because the progress was too fast, especially the weak foundation after the previous great leap in the Shennong Temple, or is it because of the weird "Chrysalis Butterfly Secret Technique"? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If you have great opportunities, you may naturally encounter great risks. Just like if a house is built too fast and the foundation is not strong, there will be great hidden dangers. Mr. Ye Yi'an still understands this truth. What makes him difficult to determine is whether the emergence of this mental blockage has anything to do with the "Chrysalis Butterfly Secret Technique". If so, how big is the connection? ¡°After all, this is a technique that has been practiced by very few practitioners since its inception. Even if Ye Yian wanted to learn from it, there was no one to ask him, so he could only explore on his own. Not to mention the huge power of the Heavenly Tribulation, for practitioners, regardless of their level of cultivation, the most terrifying thing in common is that as long as they encounter obstacles, they must be solved. There is no possibility of escape. Once they cannot be solved, the path of cultivation will be ruined. It will be difficult to make any further progress, which naturally means the end of the Jindan Avenue. This is not the most terrifying thing. What is more terrifying is that cultivation is a matter of sailing against the current. If you do not advance, you will retreat. If you are blocked for a long time, you still cannot break through. This also means that practitioners often have difficulty maintaining their current cultivation state. What is lost between this advance and retreat may be the immortal fate for which the practitioner lives and dies. The hateful thing is that since the roadblock is called a tiger, it is as difficult as a tiger to break it. Especially the mental barrier that Ye Yi'an encountered head-on. It originated from within, was from the heart, could not be attacked or killed, and was extremely difficult to deal with. Although practitioners all know that as long as they can successfully overcome obstacles after encountering obstacles, they will inevitably usher in a golden period of practice in which their spiritual realm will rise rapidly, but few practitioners will commit suicide in anticipation of the mental obstacles coming. After several attempts at concentration and meditation failed, Ye Yi'an's last bit of luck disappeared. This is not chest tightness caused by practicing too fast or being closed in the yin and yang furnace for too long. It is really a heart block! If the mental blockage is not removed and you cannot even concentrate and think, how can you talk about cultivation? This sudden change completely ruined Ye Yi'an's interest in relaxing. Faced with the sudden mental obstacle but struggling to think about it without a solution, the annoyance in his heart also accumulated. The sky is no longer blue, the clouds are no longer white, and even the mountain breeze, which carries the fragrance of the forest and is not cold on the face, is particularly annoying. Ye Yi'an stood silently in front of the cliff for a long time. Not only did he not think of a way to solve it, but the situation in his body was collapsing at a rapid rate. The more you control it deliberately, the more accumulated boredom suddenly intensifies into irritability. When this irritability is too much, it first causesThe inner lake was in turmoil, and then the normal flow of elixir power in Ye Yi'an's body began to be blocked and even disordered. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? For practitioners, the concentration of pills and the power of the pills are the foundation of everything. If the disorder of the pill power cannot be straightened out as soon as possible, it will definitely backfire on the pills. The first stumbling block that Ye Yi'an encountered on his way to practice not only came early, but also suddenly and violently. As soon as it appeared, it showed the power of a tiger descending from the mountain and sweeping everything. Ye Yi'an, who stood silently, was using all the methods he could think of to mobilize all available power to stop the collapse caused and promoted by the heart barrier. But the stronger and more determined he was in blocking it, the faster and more violent the collapse spread. . Finally, the Ningdan began to shake. But this is not the end of the nightmare. Soon, even the Dan point began to tremble faintly. In an instant, after beads of sweat broke out on his forehead, Ye Yi'an's underwear was soaked with cold sweat that broke out rapidly. Facing this enemy that originated from his own heart and was too powerful to resist, for the first time in more than five years, Ye Yi'an even felt a despair that he had never experienced in the black prison. Since he was taken in by his master Ye Tianwen at the age of six and followed him in practice, Ye Yi'an has encountered the most dangerous dangers on his path of practice. The most powerful rapids are often hidden beneath the calmest water. Is a person¡¯s greatest enemy really himself? "At the moment when Ye Yian's attack was ineffective, he was helpless to resist, and the foundation of cultivation in his body was about to be destroyed, a chanting sound suddenly emerged from the deepest part of the turbulent inner lake. This sudden heart sound is just like the murmur of a loving mother, gentle and warm; the content it chants is also like the murmur of a loving mother, its sound can be discerned, but its meaning is difficult to understand. Shennong Temple, Sculpture of Emperor Wa This heartbeat is clearly what appears after the object held by the sculpture of Emperor Wa in Shennong Temple is unfolded in the void. Even the voice and intonation of the loving mother's murmur are exactly the same! Just like Bai Liangang encountered the twisting of the fingers, the violent collapse actually calmed down after the heart sounds appeared, and even began to show a tendency to be retracted. Whispering over and over again, the big collapse receded little by little, the pill point returned to tranquility, the condensation pill stopped shaking, and even the blocked and disordered flow of pill power returned to normal. Just when Ye Yi'an was in ecstasy, his heartbeat gradually became quiet. Gradually it rested, and finally disappeared into the deepest part of the unexplorable inner lake. At this time, the mania has just returned to boredom, and this boredom that cannot be eliminated even by concentrating on meditation still lingers in my heart and has never dissipated. Everything has returned to its original point, and the mental barrier still exists, like a sharp sword hanging above the head, which will be cut down again at some point. Ye Yi'an's ecstasy came to an abrupt end, and was accompanied by confusion and even resentment. With the power displayed by the heart sound, it was extremely simple to destroy this heart barrier, but why didn't she want to? Why does she have to let herself face this extremely terrifying mental barrier that can easily destroy her foundation? At the top of Fengge Mountain, in front of the cliff, Ye Yian thought for a long time and a lot, but still had no answer! In the end, his head hurt. When Ye Yi'an no longer wanted to think about it, but turned his gaze to the lush green mountains that seemed ordinary but actually contained the beauty of nature, a feeling that was absolutely inappropriate at the moment, but extremely strong, suddenly surged up. impulse. Life is impermanent, and so is the path of spiritual practice, just let it go! At this moment, Ye Yi'an temporarily abandoned his usual composure and habit of thinking first before taking action. With a movement of the weapon control technique, the magic weapon Sky-Splitting Ghost-Slaying Sword burst out of the air. Stepping on it, under the influence of the elixir's power, the magic weapon soared toward the sky. Flying over the top of Fengge Mountain, passing through the morning mist that enveloped Shennong Ridge like a gauze, passing through the denser white clouds, frightening away the group of birds that are known to fly high, Ye Yixin was not focused on anything else, just staring at The clear blue sky higher up, flying upward, flying high. There is no pause, no hesitation, upward, and upward. At this moment, the impulse that was originally just sudden has been ignited into a raging fire as it flies upward rapidly. A raging fire burning in the chest, even the blood was boiling. Fengge Mountain has turned into the size of a mud ball at Ye Yi'an's feet. The white clouds that seemed to be wandering upwards have also spread low and become a sea of ??clouds. As for the group of birds, they are even smaller and become scattered in the sea of ??clouds. When the gravel was scattered, Ye Yi'an still refused to give up, refused to stop, he continued to fly upward, to higher places, to higher places. As he flew high, the warm mountain wind he felt at the top of Fengge Mountain was now as sharp as a knife. Although there was a glimmer of protective gear, the wind was too sharp and strong, and the clothes that were flying lightly were violently blown by the raging wind. Violent sound. My breathing started to become sluggish, and there was already a dull pain in my chest, but nothing could stop me.??Stop him from flying high. The fire in his chest burned stronger and stronger. Ye Yi'an stared obsessively at the increasingly blue and deep sky above the white clouds. As he flew higher, the sky in front of him became deeper and wider. Gradually, the fire in his chest, including all the discomforts in his body, as well as all the experiences he had encountered just now, suddenly converged into a thought that was so strong that it was detonated - he wanted to go up, he wanted to fly high, He couldn't wait to see how high and wide the sky was. He wants to fly high, to the edge of the sky, to the end of the sky! I don¡¯t know how long it took, how high I flew, above the endless sea of ??clouds, in the clear blue sky, in the boundless emptiness, Ye Yi¡¯an continued to struggle upward. The rising sun shines over me, and the edge of my clothes is covered with a layer of faint golden light. I can't see the boundary in the vast and endless void. The higher I fly, I find that the sky is getting deeper and deeper, and wider and wider. The road ahead stretches long. In such a vast and endless space, Ye Yi'an's struggling upward figure looks so thin and lonely, and the boundless blue sky also makes his figure look so lonely. But in the deepest part of this seemingly lonely figure, there is a pride that is more arrogant than the fierce wind, constantly growing, flying and stirring. Finally, when the fierce strong wind turned into a soul-crushing wind, Ye Yi'an's high-flying road finally came to an end. The blue sky was still deep and high, but he reached the limit of his ability. The protective device's light has been shaking violently to the edge of collapse. Although the strong wind at this height can only be regarded as the afterglow, the body feels like thousands of needles piercing it, and the pain is indescribable. Ye Yian's face was as pale as snow, his clothes were already messy, but the two fires burning in his eyes had not been extinguished at all. Looking at the boundless blue sky and void, unable to make any further progress, he slowly let out a Taoist sound. The long roar of Qi training. The sound of the roar was very low at first, then gradually became louder and longer. Ye Yi'an merged the fire in his chest and the endless regrets and regrets of his unfulfilled wishes into the roar and radiated them out. This is the bath of the heart! ??Above the white clouds, in the blue sky, the long howling sound is like rolling thunder in the sky, breaking the eternal silence in the endless void. Amidst the long roar, after looking up at the endless blue sky for the last time, Ye Yi'an suddenly turned around and rushed down. He was as fast as he was flying high just now, or even faster. He just wanted to use the speed of a meteor flying across the sky to calm his raging body and mind, and eliminate the regret that the world is infinite but the human body is bound. Almost in a short moment, Ye Yi'an suddenly understood the "Nanhua Sutra" and understood It captures the essence of what Zhuangzi, who is regarded as the "True Man of Nanhua" in Taoism, pursued throughout his life. Kun and Peng transform into each other, Liezi controls the wind. It turns out that even immortality is not the ultimate pursuit of Taoists. Only by breaking through all constraints, having nothing to rely on, and freely roaming between heaven and earth, the absolute freedom of the soul is the true meaning of the Golden Elixir Way. The essence of. If there is no absolute freedom, if there are still constraints, if there is an endless pursuit of the mysteries of heaven and earth, even if you live forever, you will be nothing more than a walking corpse that can live forever. This is not the true Tao, and this is not what he wants. The way you want. The purpose of practicing Taoism is to break through the constraints imposed on the human body by heaven, earth and all things in the world, but breaking the constraints is by no means the ultimate goal of cultivation. The essence of Tao is to explore the infinite mysteries contained in heaven and earth with the freedom gained after breaking through the constraints. Going to the end of heaven and earth and exploring all the mysteries contained therein is the ultimate goal and core essence of spiritual practice. Regardless of whether this sudden realization was right or wrong, this sudden enlightenment made Ye Yi'an's mind suddenly broaden, and the resentment that had been in his heart before disappeared like the wind. If you are afraid of facing obstacles for the first time and take your anger out on others, why should you cultivate Taoism with such a fragile heart? How to practice Taoism? What about cultivating the Tao? As soon as the thought came to mind, as Ye Yi'an's mood returned to tranquility, the long roar that originally hinted at mania gradually turned into a clear and calm one, with a touch of joy and tranquility in it. When Ye Yi'an returned to the top of Fengge Mountain from the blue sky and white clouds, he suddenly found that the boredom in his heart had disappeared without knowing it. ? Could this be the embodiment of the mysterious avenue? Heart blocks come inexplicably, but they go away inexplicably. This is a bloody first time! On a rugged boulder two hills away from the top of Fengge Mountain, Qingde, who had a face like a crown of jade, turned to look at the sincere Taoist beside him, "Are you sure that the lunatic just now is Ye Yi'an?"
