Chapter 325 - 296: Celestial Emperor Fuxi Discusses the Great Calamity
Wukong returned to his mountain gate and dispersed the common people of Xi Qie Mi.
He entered the quiet room to cultivate with the aid of the Nirvana Pearl, a pre-birth treasure that likely originated from another world. But it didn’t matter where it came from as long as it was of great use to him. Holding the Nirvana Pearl, he sat cross-legged on the lotus platform.
Sitting cross-legged is a special method for those practicing cultivation. The Bubbling Spring acupoint on the sole of the foot connects to many meridians and channels throughout the body. Placing both soles on the thighs, facing upward, enhances the absorption of congenital true qi. This is "Five Hearts Facing the Sky," a practice embraced by both the Daoist and Buddhist sects during cultivation.
"The Heart of Heaven is my heart, the will of Heaven is my will; Nirvana is impermanent, my spirit roams the universe; the three souls and seven spirits leave the body with the Primordial Spirit!" Wukong chanted a spell and began his cultivation, holding the Nirvana Pearl.
At such an advanced stage of cultivation, true qi was no longer the most crucial element. He had already condensed a fair amount of Hunyuan True Qi. The most important thing was to grasp the principles, penetrate the origin of the world, and master the means of creation to become a creator himself! Reaching the status of a creator, his power would undergo a transformation, much like the difference between hitting someone with a pound of cotton versus a pound of iron; the cotton does not hurt, but the iron certainly does.
"Heavenly Dao Laws, empower my body; with heart imprinting upon heart, to accomplish the Great Dao!"
Wukong silently sensed the changes in the Nirvana Pearl. His divine thoughts left his body, drawn by the Pearl, and he found himself roaming through the void, beginning to comprehend the true essence and origin of the world.
Let’s set aside Wukong’s monotonous cultivation for now and turn to Enlightenment Dao, who returned from Yingzhou Island to the Southern Toad Continent to seek out Chi Songzi.
He harbored many doubts that needed the explanations of Chi Songzi, or perhaps those like Emperor Fuxi. Proficient in Divine Sky Taoist Magic, Chi Songzi, a renowned master, had provided hundreds of years of teaching. If even a pig received such guidance, it would manage to cultivate some mana.
Enlightenment Dao rode his sword to Shushan, where the people there were already quite familiar with him. After exchanging customary greetings, he headed straight for Shennong’s Secret Realm.
Although the Sword Cliff of Shushan was destroyed, almost everyone knew that Chi Songzi was located at Shennong’s Secret Realm within Sword Cliff. The Demon Path Sects had suffered greatly at his hands, and although they were restless, they dared not attack Shushan again.
