Dense clouds, but no rain
The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!
Since both Liusu and Ju Yunxiu said that soaring through the clouds was difficult, Qin Yi put aside his previous contempt and did not immediately begin his closed-door cultivation to break through. Instead, he first picked up the Ju Yunxiu and studied it carefully for a whole night.
He didn't really take it to heart at first, probably because the person he knew was too Monstrous Fiends.
After a period of time, Minghe Tengyun disappeared.
Not long after the ceasefire with Meng Qingying, they went to meet in Daqian, where Meng Qingying the clouds.
After being separated from Ye Ling for more than half a year, I saw that this stupid snake had also condensed its core...
It was all done as casually as eating candy, which naturally led Qin Yi to think it was very simple, similar to breaking through the Heart of the Qin barrier...
Thinking about it carefully, it does seem quite remarkable. Zheng Yunyi must be two or three hundred years old at the time. How long has he been stuck at the Heart of the Harp Perfection? He's definitely a talented individual, not just an ordinary person.
In order to break through Tengyun Pass, Minghe fled Southern Li and spent half a year observing the ups and downs of the mortal world and the grudges between families and countries. That was truly a time to temper her heart in the mortal world in order to gain enlightenment. This is probably what Liusu meant by "breaking through the barriers of knowledge and perception".
The barrier of preconceived notions is something that exists at all levels, and the higher the level, the more one can understand. Therefore, what Minghe understands may not be the same as Qin Yi's insights. She may have gained a completely different perspective from the story of Southern Li than from her childhood cultivation of Immortal Dao, which broadened her horizons and broke through a certain degree of her preconceived notions, thus enabling her to break through the barrier.
Not only that, her preparations were also very thorough. The Buddhist pagoda calmed her mind, and the Daoist Daoist Scarf helped her withstand the tribulation of alchemy—all were targeted preparations. Presumably, there were also plenty of pills in her ring. It was definitely not a breakthrough that happened casually. It's just that I didn't witness it myself, so I don't know what difficulties she went through.
He didn't know what Meng Qingying and Ye Ling had gone through, but he figured it couldn't have been any easier for them than for Minghe.
It's quite interesting to browse through the cloud-riding experiences of the previous generations of the Immortal Palace. There are actually very few deceased predecessors I don't know. Many of them are records of experiences from acquaintances, including Ju Yunxiu, Heavenly Mystery Child Du Pingsheng, etc. It's like reading the autobiographies of acquaintances.
The Immortal Palace has only existed for a few thousand years. The fact that it takes in a new batch of disciples every sixty years does not mean that there is a generational difference of sixty years. People who are hundreds or thousands of years apart are just Senior Brother. Generational distinctions are not based on age, but on who your master is.
The true generational hierarchy has only reached four generations. The first generation consists of the Palace Master and a few deceased elders; the second generation consists of Heavenly Mystery Child, Mo Wuzi, Jiu Quanzi, and Ju Yunxiu's master Ye Bieqing; the third generation consists of Ju Yunxiu, Du Pingsheng, Zheng Yunyi, and others; and the fourth generation consists of Qing Cha and a large number of Fengchu disciples from other departments, as well as the children previously recruited using Fat Sheep.
Qin Yi started learning the craft very late, and by all accounts, he should have been of the same generation as Qing Cha. However, he benefited from "Ju Yunxiu accepting disciples on behalf of his master" and became a third-generation disciple.
Therefore, the so-called "historical figures" who recorded their experiences were indeed mostly acquaintances.
This shows how outstanding Ju Yunxiu. She was the only one of her generation to reach the Radiant Realm. While most of her contemporaries were serving as pillars of their sects, she stood alone on equal footing with the previous generation's Heavenly Mystery Child and others, becoming one of the giants of the Immortal Palace.
Although she may be among the earliest to enter the sect in this generation, hundreds of years earlier than Zheng Yunyi, many of her fellow disciples of the same age have long since died because they failed to break through, while she is still as young as eighteen.
This also proves that the Celestial Palace is facing a generational gap. The second generation lacked Qian Yuan, and the third generation only has Hui Yang. When Mo Wuzi and others reach the end of their lifespans, who will succeed them?
However, the powerful Huiyang wouldn't die so easily; Mo Wuzi and the others still had at least a thousand years to live. Ju Yunxiu's master was probably much older than the others, and it's highly likely he had some unhealed internal injury, or perhaps there was a problem breaking through to the Qian Yuan realm, causing him to die before the others. His junior brother, the Chess Maniac and the Book Immortal, is still alive...
The Celestial Palace needs to work harder in the next thousand years... No wonder the Palace Master always seems a bit worried; he's not exactly optimistic.
It is also because the path of the Immortal Palace is too novel, and there are not many precedents to follow. How many geniuses with extraordinary talent can create their own path and move forward?
We've digressed. Qin Yi flipped through the Cloud Soaring Insights, mainly looking at Ju Yunxiu's insights.
My understanding is this. "Calligraphy and painting may differ in form, but their spirit is similar. They should be combined and complement each other, not two separate systems. When Yunxiu grasped this, he understood how to soar through the clouds... Through mountains of calligraphy and seas of painting, one Forging Soul with joy, allowing heaven and earth to merge, and thus the Golden Elixir is formed. It is easy."
Easy...
Which woman just gave me such a serious talk, saying this is a matter of life and death and I need to prepare properly? Look at your own reflections—are they even written in a human language?
No wonder she said, "I can't offer much guidance"... She probably doesn't even know how she managed to break through to the Cloud Realm in such a muddled way!
However, Ju Yunxiu's notes vividly described the difficulties of dealing with the Dan Tribulation, and there was a sense of lingering fear between the lines.
It is evident that even if some people find it easy to comprehend the comprehension and Core Formation, overcoming tribulations is quite difficult. This may be related to practical combat ability; Ju Yunxiu is indeed not a practical fighter.
Some people describe the difficulty of Core Formation stage as being as difficult as ascending to heaven, yet they downplay the tribulation they face.
For some people, everything else is easy, but they almost got stuck on the first Forging Soul Aperture Opening and Awakening.
So it seems the difficulty of Tengyun Pass lies in its comprehensive coverage of test points, while everyone has different strengths, making it hard to pass? And failing might mean death?
That's roughly the idea.
Qin Yi stroked his chin and thought for a moment, feeling that he seemed quite well-rounded... He wondered what problems he would encounter when actually facing them, since other people's experiences were just for reference.
While Qin Yi was studying his notes, Liusu sat cross-legged to the side reading a book even larger than itself. It was the * Great Joy Paradise Sutra *. It seemed to be obsessed with this, perhaps because it was unfamiliar with dual Cultivation Method before and now felt a sense of novelty, wanting to ponder it further?
Or perhaps it's because it contains many Secret Method that are of great reference value to it.
One person and one spirit, sitting opposite each other, engrossed in learning.
The next morning, Qin Yi went to the Battle Hall again.
After a night of reflection, Qin Yi realized he needed to make some other preparations, such as dealing with inner demons. Fortunately, the Great Joy Temple had some resources on this topic in the Battle Hall. Although Liusu thought he might not need them, it was better to be prepared.
Upon entering the main hall of the battle Hall Master, one sees a Divination Sect sitting there cultivating, while everyone else is busy with their own affairs.
Qin Yi then asked, "What are you doing sitting alone in the main hall?"
The Daoist priest hurriedly bowed and said, "It is divination. We have decided to divine the fortune of our temple every day, even if it is just for record-keeping, it is also a form of spiritual practice."
"Oh, what hexagram was drawn?"
The Daoist priest hesitated for a long time without speaking.
Qin Yi frowned. "An ominous omen? That's nothing. We're not going to fight today, so what's there to be afraid of if we stay home?"
"No, it's not that..." the Daoist hesitated, "Perhaps my cultivation is insufficient, and my calculations are quite strange. Logically, this shouldn't have anything to do with our current situation... If it were related, it would be a major one, but it shouldn't be that serious..."
Qin Yi said irritably, "What nonsense are you spouting? Can't you just say it directly?"
The Daoist priest whispered, "Dense clouds, but no rain, from my western suburbs... If you don't pass by, the flying bird leaves."
Qin Yi's pupils contracted slightly.
Why is it this sentence again?
When I went to Daqian, a Daoist priest from the Lingxu Sect said this. It was easy to understand at the time: Daqian was facing an external enemy, which meant that Great Joy Temple and Meng Qingying were eyeing it covetously...
Later, the interpretation can be expanded to include Southern Li destruction was attributed to Qing Jun.
Why is it still this sentence?
What does this correspond to? If it really corresponds to the Celestial Palace or the Battle Hall, then this is going to be a huge disaster... Perhaps this Daoist priest's skill is insufficient and he miscalculated?
