No sooner had Chen Jingchou left than Lu Guan sat down cross-legged and entered a meditative state without saying a word.
Try cultivating that [ True Spirit Indestructible Dao Scripture ].
In my mind, knowledge of spiritual practice surged forth like a tidal wave, one wave after another.
It took almost half an hour for the throbbing, throbbing pain to gradually subside.
Lu Guan opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of stale air, and finally had a clear outline of the Inner Landscape Realm in his mind.
The " Inner Landscape " is not the color or appearance seen with the naked eye, but rather the world that a cultivator creates within themselves through introspection using their Divine Thought.
In other words, the primary prerequisite for opening up Inner Landscape Domain is to condense one's own [ Divine Thought ].
It is also known as [ Divine Sense ] or [ Spiritual Sense ].
Once Divine Thought is formed, it can sweep across thousands of miles, pass through walls as easily as reading the lines on one's palm, break through concealed formations as easily as peeling back thin paper, observe the flow of the energy of heaven and earth, and discern the depth of cultivation of others.
In short, with just one glance, you can completely uncover the other person's cultivation level, background, and what treasures they possess.
It's like having a cheat code that grants you full map vision out of thin air.
Upon seeing this, Lu Guan's lips twitched, and he immediately realized—
Elder Jiang saw right through him, revealing his underwear; apparently, he had scanned it with his Divine Thought!
Under Divine Thought, no secret can be hidden.
Only cultivators who have also condensed their Divine Thought can resist the prying eyes of those at the same realm.
As for those of lower cultivation levels...
"Damn it, isn't this just designed to bully tough guys?"
Lu Guan rolled his eyes and cursed under his breath.
"Is it because my level of understanding is low that I deserve to run naked in front of you?"
How can this be allowed?
Thinking of this, Lu Guan immediately searched for the method of condensing Divine Thought in the [ True Spirit Indestructible Dao Scripture ] --
[ True Spirit Spirit Condensation Method ]
After the Gang Qi reaches its peak, it opens inward, prying open the gate of Divine Thought.
'This method doesn't seem difficult. The only prerequisite is Perfected Gang Condensation Realm. I wonder if I can successfully cultivate it without relying on the interface?'
Without a doubt, this was a great experiment.
Lu Guan was eager to try.
The method is not complicated, and it is indeed not difficult to practice.
By manipulating the Gang Qi to converge at the crown of the head, and through countless attempts, seizing that fleeting opportunity, a Divine Thought spontaneously arises.
This varies from person to person.
Some exceptionally gifted individuals, with extraordinary comprehension, only need a few attempts to seize the opportunity, thereby giving birth to Divine Thought.
However, there are also those who are dull-witted and waste years of their lives without even getting close to the basics.
Lu Guan's lips curled into a confident smile.
Although the panel says he has mediocre talent, after mastering the Heaven's Will Four Symbols Saber, he can already manipulate the energy of heaven and earth with this martial art.
"You must understand, those in the Inner Landscape Realm can freely manipulate the energy of heaven and earth, relying on the power of their Divine Thought."
If that's the case, wouldn't it be as if divine intervention that I was able to return by manipulating the energy of heaven and earth?
This is practically a game-changer!
After all, I'm cheating!
'A mere Divine Thought, how could it possibly stump me?'
--Two and a half days later.
Are you kidding me?
"Panel!"
Lu Guan expressionlessly summoned the panel, then poured his Cultivation into the [ True Spirit Spirit Condensation Method ], unceremoniously using his true talent.
[Year 1: You have mastered the essential techniques of the True Spirit Spirit Condensation Method, but your comprehension is mediocre, and you have never been able to grasp even the slightest opportunity.]
[You sit cross-legged by the well every day, your Gang Qi traveling back and forth to your crown chakra more than three thousand times, each time with a slight deviation, yet the result is a vast difference.]
[In the third year, you put your skills into practice, repeatedly wielding the Four Symbols Heaven's Will Saber, using the flow of Qi in heaven and earth to reverse the principles of the birth and death of Divine Thought, and only then did you finally succeed.]
[When the True Spirit Spirit Condensation Method is perfected, a single Divine Thought arises spontaneously.]
[Remaining Cultivation: 1256 years]
"Call--"
In an instant, Lu Guan felt refreshed and his mind was filled with new ideas.
It's truly mind-blowing.
He "saw" the top of his head, and not only that, his internal organs, the flow of blood, and the intricate details of his bones were all clearly visible.
This is Divine Thought introspection.
Lu Guan watched with great interest for a long time, then moved his Divine Thought from his Dantian upwards, through his stomach, heart, and lungs, finally settling on his crown chakra.
Then his gaze shifted, peering outside.
He gasped in shock.
He saw the [real] world.
It is no longer the green mountains and clear waters, the clouds and mist that can be seen with the naked eye, but the various kinds of energy flowing between heaven and earth.
Everything has its own "qi," which weaves together a magnificent and splendid world.
The courtyard walls are made of dark gray earth, the blue tiles are made of dark blue stone, and the wooden pillars under the eaves are made of dark brown wood.
The old, crooked tree in the courtyard emanated a hazy, yellowish aura.
Lu Guan sensed a sense of decay and desolation, as if autumn leaves were about to fall and the air was heavy with the gloom of dusk.
He tried to direct his Divine Thought towards the tree roots.
The soil around the tree roots was thick and damp, mixed with wisps of pale green vitality, indicating that the roots were still striving to grow deeper.
It is also proof that it is alive.
The most outrageous thing was the Cold Abyss Well beside him.
Countless icy wisps of energy surged up from the bottom of the well, churning at the wellhead into an invisible vortex, swirling and coiling, layer upon layer, like an abyss hanging upside down.
Lu Guan probed with his Divine Thought, and after just one glance, he felt his Divine Thought stiffen and stagnate, as if it would freeze and shatter on the spot at any moment.
The next second, he abruptly withdrew his Divine Thought and couldn't help but shiver.
It was bone-chillingly cold; I felt as if I had just been pulled out of an ice cave, and my jaw was chattering.
Yet, amidst the extreme cold, a ray of warm sunshine rose from the depths of one's Divine Thought.
Lu Guan's eyes widened immediately.
"This cold energy actually has the effect of tempering one's Divine Thought!"
He finally understood the meaning behind Chen Jingchou's words.
This Cold Abyss Well has such miraculous effects; no wonder the other party called it a great fortuitous opportunity.
After all, there is no doubt about how important Divine Thought is.
The Tenth Heaven of the Inner Landscape are, in essence, the cultivation of Divine Thought. They involve creating ten heavens and earths within the Inner Landscape Domain to lay an unparalleled foundation for unlocking the Divine Treasury.
The stronger Divine Thought, the faster one can develop, and the more stable one's foundation.
Cultivating near the Cold Abyss Well is like having an accelerator activated.
However, Lu Guan immediately frowned.
'I cultivated using my exceptional talent; I wonder if this Cold Abyss Well can accelerate my stats.'
If that were possible, it would be incredible.
If not, what is a treasure to others becomes a useless piece of land to him.
Even with an accelerator, can it be faster than my cultivation progress through the interface?
Calming his mind, Lu Guan stopped thinking about these things.
Whether it will be useful or not remains to be seen until one cultivates further after reaching the Inner Landscape Realm.
The most urgent task right now is to strike while the iron is hot, use your Divine Thought to visualize the Dantian, and open up the inner world within your body in one fell swoop!
"Within the head, brain, and internal organs of the human body reside True Person immortals and deities. If a cultivator can contemplate the form of these spirits, he can communicate with the divine, harmonize the internal organs, and maintain harmony between body and spirit."
"This is the origin of the Inner Landscape!"
