Chapter 240: Ruthless Way?
Chapter 240: Ruthless Way?
Seeing Xuannv coming in hesitantly, Bai Tian was confused: "What's wrong?"
Xuannv's face was very unnatural, and she gritted her teeth: "There is something I want to talk to you about."
His hesitation made the day even stranger, and he couldn't help but get out of bed: "What's the matter? Just tell me."
Xuannv stared at him and mustered up her courage: "Then I'll tell you."
"During the day, I've been in a very strange state lately. I can't explain it, but I suddenly feel like I'm forgetting my brother and my people... But I clearly remember them, but I feel less and less for them..."
"I suddenly felt like I was alone. But I felt it was great, and in this state my cultivation speed was exceptionally fast..."
I was a little confused when I listened to it during the day. Is she in a state of trance?
No, she seemed to be saying, "Ruthless Dao"?!
Xuan Nu scratched her head. "I can't explain it clearly, but it's just a very strange feeling. I always feel like, when practicing, I shouldn't cry, laugh, eat, or anything like that."
This... this... couldn't be, severing the seven emotions and six desires?!
Bai Tian's scalp was numb: "Xuan Nu, when did you start to have this idea?"
"Probably after I left here last time," Xuannv said embarrassedly, "Ever since then, I've entered a state of cultivation and forgotten everything. I was afraid that I would be too different, so I tried hard to bring them back..."
Crazy. She hadn't even been practicing for a year at that time, but she had already entered a state of trance.
No wonder her strength improved so quickly. Although she hasn't broken through to the Kailing realm yet, her strength far exceeds that of the Kailing realm...
Bai Tian took a deep breath and whispered, "Xuan Nu, I'm not sure if you're talking about the ruthless path or something else. But I'm sure you might have found your own path..."
Afterwards, Bai Tian patiently told Xuan Nu about his understanding of the Way of Ruthlessness and how to cut off the seven emotions and six desires.
In fact, I've been pondering this question during the day for years. Should practitioners really cut off the seven emotions and six desires?
In his memory, both Taoist priests and monks seemed to care about this. He was not sure whether this idea was right or wrong, so he never told anyone else, including Fuxi and Suling.
During the day, I always felt that since people are human, how could they cut off the seven emotions and six desires? Wouldn’t that make them dead?
The reason Bai Tian remembered the ruthless way was because he had read a dark novel in his previous life. The protagonist specialized in the ruthless way and was cold in nature...
"Actually, I'm not entirely sure if a cultivator who severs their seven emotions and six desires will be able to cultivate faster or reach a higher realm in the future." Bai Tian's expression was slightly solemn. "But I'm certain that not everyone can do it. It's probably only a few people who can."
Xuan Nu was shocked when she heard this. She had thought she was too special, so she was hesitant and didn't dare to tell Bai Tian. Unexpectedly, Bai Tian knew so much.
The seven emotions and six desires, this word is very good to her!
Her recent state really seems to be completely cut off from all emotions and desires. She is not interested in anything but herself...
Bai Tian continued, "Xuan Nu, there's actually a state of mind in cultivation called selflessness, or forgetfulness of emotions. But I don't quite understand it, and after all, I haven't been able to figure it out."
"How about this, let's take a good look at your recent situation, especially your status and thoughts..."
Xuan Nu finally came back to her senses: "During the day, does that mean that there's nothing wrong with my current state?"
"Huh?" Bai Tian was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Xuan Nu, all of our current cultivation is actually still in the exploratory stage. Including the cultivation techniques I taught you, we just figured them out."
"In the future, we humans will have even more ways to cultivate, and even each person will have a different way. What we need to do now is to continue exploring so that future generations can avoid detours..."
Xuan Nu's eyes suddenly lit up with eagerness: "Then I will continue to practice according to my idea. I have always been worried that my practice was wrong, but it turns out to be right... During the day, you wait for me for a few days, and then I will tell you about my condition in detail..."
After saying that, Xuannv ran out impatiently.
Watching her leave, Bai Tian's scalp tingled. This Xuan Nu was truly extraordinary!
No, it’s the people in this world who are all amazing!
Everyone has their own path, and everyone is willing to pursue it. Although it's still a primitive society, their thinking is really good.
Then I started thinking again during the day, should people who practice cultivation really cut off the seven emotions and six desires?
He definitely couldn't do it, but if someone could do it, would that mean they could transcend nature...
Wait a minute!
A thought suddenly flashed through Bai Tian's mind, making him feel a little nervous: Tao follows nature!
People follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, the heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature.
During the day, I closed my eyes, followed this thought, and entered into meditation...
Five days later, Xuannv found Bai Tian again and summarized all her thoughts.
She is such a genius!
In such a short time, she was able to think of cultivation and selflessness, and she even thought about what she should do in the future.
It is not about cutting off the seven emotions and six desires, but about taking myself as the center and controlling the seven emotions and six desires.
During the day, it was unclear whether she was ruthless or selfless, but she had some very philosophical ideas...
One night, Bai Tian took Xuan Nu into the space channel.
Xuannv was very surprised when she saw a cave underwater for the first time.
But when she saw the Azure Dragon, Xuannv was frightened.
Qinglong lay on the largest piece of sky stone, raised his eyelids to look at Xuannv, and then continued to sleep.
Xuan Nu approached Qing Long cautiously and said in surprise, "During the daytime, I didn't expect that wild beasts would also practice."
Bai Tian smiled: "Everything in the world can cultivate, and everything is equal."
Xuan Nu didn't pay much attention and continued to look at Qing Long. But after a while, she suddenly turned around and said, "Bai Tian, you said that all things are equal. Do you think these powerful beasts also have a ruthless way?"
Bai Tian was stunned by these words. How could he know...
Wait, fireflies!
Xuan Nu also thought of it, and her eyes lit up instantly: "Firefly, right? Maybe it's just like me... No, the firefly will release its power to those snakes and insects every once in a while to nourish all things... During the day, I understand!"
"It's not heartlessness, it's affection, it's just selflessness... yes, selflessness..."
Xuan Nu murmured as she sat down. Soon, a faint power surged through her body, and she entered a state of cultivation.
Bai Tian took a deep breath. She had truly understood her own path!
But, she hasn't even fully entered the spiritual realm yet, is she really that desperate?!
He is the chosen one everywhere, what’s the point of playing this!
Before I could think about it, I suddenly felt a palpitation in my heart, and an ominous premonition suddenly enveloped my heart...
