Chapter 684 - 31: The Enchantress Assists My Cultivation (Part 2)
In recent days, the young man studied by candlelight at night with a girl keeping him company, creating a sense of ambiguity between them.
Lady Jade Face cultivates the Dharma Gate of the Path of Forgetting Emotions, different from the Path of Emotionlessness, the latter being devoid of emotion, while the former requires experiencing the extremes of emotion before forgetting them.
This even involves a story known as 'Zhuangzi Testing His Wife'.
During this period, Duncan has also learned a lot about the cultivation methods of this world. For example, the Xuanyin Sect openly forbids romantic relationships, but it depends on who it's with. The romantic love between ordinary men and women is merely a hindrance to cultivation, but if it involves a figure like the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, then the entire cultivation method of the Xuanyin Sect becomes an ideal cauldron for attaining ascension through the union of three thousand women, and they may even use it to step into the Dao Entrance Realm.
Who you practice dual cultivation with is very important; it's better to have nothing than to settle for less.
The Chinese obsession with immortality surpasses that of romantic love. To live forever and roam the heavens and earth, what a beautiful thing.
And Lady Jade Face wants to use his elixir to break through to the Dao Entrance Realm.
This does not belong to the ordinary practice of absorbing yang to supplement yin, but rather using the young man's pure yang essence, like a spark, implanted within to help herself achieve the opportunity of yin transitioning to yang.
"Come to my study tonight."
The young man did not hesitate, for Lu Shanjun had told him before leaving that as long as he did not indulge excessively and neglect his cultivation, the union of yin and yang could precisely cure his future affliction of solitary yang not growing, so he replied, "Bring the Hehuan Secret Scripture you obtained as well."
With that, he took out a scroll of the "Great Wisdom Love Sutra" from the drawer, along with several Taoist and medical dual cultivation techniques, and said calmly, "Let's first comprehend the Dharma Gate."
"At another time, we can find an opportunity to help you break through to the Dao Realm."
This method of dual cultivation is not simply a matter of having sex.
Whether it's the Great Wisdom Love Sutra or the Hehuan Secret Scripture, both seek the supreme silence after pleasure, and through it, to glimpse the mysteries of life. In the most simple terms, the Sage Moment is a very profound state of mind, and the Great Wisdom Love Sutra seeks to extend the Sage Moment and to achieve a state of 'blissful emptiness' during the Sage Moment.
The Hehuan Secret Scripture is slightly different, emphasizing the efficiency of the Sage Moment, and after extreme joy, probing the mysteries of life and death, yin and yang, and even separating the body and spirit—the body enjoys the pleasure while the spirit transcends everything.
The biological instinct of eating and reproduction.
This is a state where your spirit watches your body in pleasure, and in this state, seeks the mysteries of yin at its extreme transforming into yang and vice versa.
Ultimate yin transforming into ultimate yang is the two extremes and can lead to enlightenment.
Lady Jade Face wants to use his pure yang essence to break through to the Dao Entrance Realm; merely having a few releases won't suffice, the mental state must align as well, otherwise it's reduced to a mere reproductive process.
He spent several days on the Great Wisdom Love Sutra, not gaining much insight, and fears he must combine it with the Hehuan Secret Scripture for further comprehension.
The key is the Sage Moment.
Separation of spirit and body.
Whether it's the wondrous void of emptiness or the great joy of meditation, or the transformation of yin and yang, they all emphasize one thing: 'intercourse without spiritual leakage, desire inflamed yet mind clear.'
One must be aware of their actions but not indulge in them, transcending instinct, surpassing all primal human desires, seeking that moment of mental state detached from survival instincts.
The last step of the Great Wisdom Love Sutra is great joy meditation.
The last step of the Hehuan Secret Scripture is the transformation of yin and yang.
Duncan used to be purely hedonistic, but now that's different; this is cultivation, a serious matter that cannot be taken lightly. However, he also has a crafty method, which is to directly enter the dimension level.
Others seek supreme mental states to achieve 'separation of spirit and body', while he directly uses his soul's will to return to Dimension Space, separating spirit and body on the physical and mental levels simultaneously.
Whether this works or not still requires some examination and trial.
After all, he used to be a barbarian who personally seized every opportunity; barbarians enjoy killing and copulation. Except for a few rare instances, he's seldom completed it on the dimension level, because it feels like a third-person perspective, retaining certain connections in the spiritual five senses.
Overall, it's not that gratifying.
"I wonder if this cheat can be used in this instance?"
"If I were to return to Dimension Space,"
"Would that count as complete separation of spirit and body?"
Duncan's cultivation of other techniques cannot succeed in a short time; in the meantime, he can try the methods of the Great Wisdom Love Sutra and the Hehuan Secret Scripture.
Both secret techniques, once cultivated, can confer divine powers of the mind.
Tonight is an opportune time to try the first realm of the Great Wisdom Love Sutra, the Voyage of Compassion in the Sea of Desire, and Lady Jade Face also needs to adjust her mental state to the best condition.
If she were to truly succeed in the future, she would be an expert in the Dao Entrance Realm, likely not weaker than Lu Shanjun.
Lu Shanjun is ultimate yang, while she is the transformation of yin and yang.
The current cultivation method is special; regardless of how abundant the True Qi is, without breaking through the realm, it cannot transform qualitatively into Innate True Qi, and similarly, without breaking into the Dao Entrance Realm, decades of cultivating Innate True Qi still remain as Innate True Qi, unable to qualitatively transform into True Yuan.
Of course, there are exceptions. Duncan broke through to the Innate Realm due to his previous path of slaughter, with his foundation in place, and through killing others, using the ability to seize others' cultivation, accumulating decades of power, forcibly breaking through meridians, expanding points into apertures, and thus consolidating Innate True Qi.
His entire body of True Qi and baleful energy is equivalent to a century of others' hard cultivation.
Quantitative change leads to qualitative change.
But to enter the Dao, this quantity becomes immense, and without breaking through the state of mind, one can only accumulate a heavenly amount of cultivation.
