Chapter 716 - 454: Divine Travel in the Void
The concept of the Kundalini serpent is very abstract; in the esoteric sects of Hinduism and Tibetan Buddhism, it is said that a mysterious spiritual snake is coiled up near a triangular sacrum within the human pelvis, invisible and intangible.
This spiritual snake coils into three and a half circles, harboring inexhaustible energy like a nuclear bomb, and this mysterious energy is called Kundalini, which means coiling.
According to the information Wang Ye found, the spiritual snake of an ordinary person remains forever coiled there,
as if in hibernation.
But once this spiritual snake is awakened, the energy contained within will spiral up, breaking through the chakras to reach the top of the head, connecting with cosmic energy, circulating within the body and stimulating the potential of the human body.
In the cognition of Tibetan Buddhism, those cases of humans unleashing astonishing potential in desperate situations are due to the activation of the spiritual snake.
But for those without long-term training, the spiritual snake will recoil back into its dormant state after the potential is unleashed,
so most people can only unleash their potential for a very short period.
And for those who have long learned an art, experiencing an enlightenment one day and suddenly finding it easy to grasp previously obscure and complex concepts is also due to the activation of the spiritual snake within.
However, if a practitioner undergoes long-term specific training to completely control this spiritual snake, reaching a state of enlightenment and understanding, they can comprehend the heavenly mysteries, uniting with the cosmos, and the energies of heaven, earth, and man will communicate; this high-energy energy will ultimately transform into tangible material. Buddhist monks believe that the Shariputra extracted from the body of a highly cultivated monk after their passing is the material manifestation of this high-energy energy condensed.
On this, Wang Ye can only remain skeptical, as he believes that high-energy material can indeed condense into physical substance, but the so-called Shariputra of most so-called high monks after their passing are most likely mere stones.
He has achieved being an Extraordinary Being for so long and has not seen another Extraordinary Being appear on Earth,
so although he believes in the training method of Inexperienced Fire Meditation, he does not believe anyone in the world can truly cultivate to the state of Transforming Illusion into Reality.
Perhaps in ancient times, some individuals accessed resources from ancient or alien civilizations, reaching an Extraordinary state, but those can no longer be verified.
Only discussing the present.
On Earth, aside from Wang Ye, there likely isn’t a second Extraordinary Being.
So Wang Ye can only refer to the legacies left by ancient times, attempting to find some methods for breakthroughs.
According to some online records, a very few people throughout history often see visions during their cultivation, such as lotus pools or sacred trees, which are magnificent sights.
These are the manifestations sensed in the Brain Domain during cultivation.
The mind is like a skilled painter, able to depict all the worlds.
When a practitioner first sees their Brain Domain, they often find it exceptionally dazzling and beautiful.
And in the Daoist School, there are even more exaggerated descriptions, such as the Spirit Platform and Primordial Spirit Emergence.
When a practitioner reaches the state of Refining the Spirit and Returning to Void, purging the yin dregs from the Primordial Spirit,
they achieve a Pure Yang Without Yin Primordial Spirit, which is called the "Yang God."
It is said that a practitioner capable of Primordial Spirit Emergence has already reached the Realm of Ascension.
This Primordial Spirit Emergence can reach a thousand miles in an instant,
transcending time and space with free gallop, hence the saying of Divine Travel in the Void.
It is said that in myth and legend, Tieguai Li was originally a handsome and attractive Daoist. After a Divine Travel in the Void for seven days, he found his physical body burned and his Primordial Spirit wandering outside for seven days, running out of oil, and his lamp about to extinguish, forced to possess a lame beggar to save his life.
In addition to the Daoist Primordial Spirit, the West also speaks of the soul, with different methods of cultivation.
In reality, regardless of the method of cultivation, the ultimate goal is the same.
Whether it’s Tai Chi or Inexperienced Fire Meditation, or any other method of training, they are essentially exploring over 72,000 meridians of the human body, developing potential, and forcing the body to evolve.
Thus, when a practitioner reaches a certain level of cultivation, their Spiritual Power will elevate to a degree far beyond ordinary people, even sensing the Brain Domain and entering it, allowing Spiritual Power to leave the body and explore a wider world.
But what’s the use of sensing the Brain Domain?
Regarding this question, Wang Ye isn’t actually sure either.
He has never seriously considered the deep application of the Brain Domain. To this day, he has only used his Spiritual Power, more robust than others, to achieve the goal of Mind Control.
Apart from this, Wang Ye also found that when existing in the Brain Domain or in the form of the so-called "Primordial Spirit," the flow of time slows down by ten thousand times compared to reality, but maintaining the Primordial Spirit state consumes a terrifying amount of Spiritual Power,
Wang Ye specifically tested this.
With his current Spiritual Power, he can only maintain the Primordial Spirit state for about an hour,
If he continues, the Primordial Spirit will be at risk of imminent collapse.
It’s no wonder then that Tieguai Li’s Primordial Spirit began to waver after seven days of Divine Travel in the Void.
But from this, it can be inferred that Wang Ye’s current Primordial Spirit cultivation is far inferior to those legendary Immortals ranked among celestial beings. Even with physical cultivation, there might be a chance to compete.
This could very well be the primary reason the Creation Skill cannot be further enhanced.
Thus, Wang Ye turned to the cultivation of other systems, like Inexperienced Fire Meditation.
He hopes that through this method, he can increase his Primordial Spirit cultivation as much as possible.
Not only can it increase his Spiritual Strength, but it may also advance the research of the Phoenix Plan.
Since it is said that Tieguai Li, with seven days of Divine Travel in the Void cultivation, could seize another’s body,
then as long as Wang Ye cultivates to that realm, he should be able to achieve it as well.
