Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor-Chapter 383 - 393: Sitting on the Forgotten Realm

It turns out that the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill is the foundational cornerstone of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect. No wonder in the Dan State Branch, as long as one inherits the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill, they can become the first in line to succeed as Sect Master.

It is then not difficult to understand why Chu Feng is treated like a treasured disciple by Pu Li and the four Supreme Elders.

This is related to whether the Dan State Branch can make a comeback.

It is also related to the fate and future prospects of every disciple of the Dan State Branch.

No wonder when Pu Li discovered that Shangguan Bei was an impostor and Elder He among others were blind to it, pressing down on Chu Feng, he felt such anger. freewebnøvel_com

"Sect Master, do I have a chance to cultivate the Taoist Demon Soul Splitting Skill?"

Chu Feng couldn’t help but ask.

"Yes, of course, you have a chance! And a great one at that."

"Prepare yourself. After some time, once everything is arranged by Our Sect, you will be escorted to the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect in the Divine Martial Continent by the Supreme Elders of the sect. With your talent and the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill you practice, you will definitely receive attention from the headquarters."

Pu Li nodded with certainty and outlined a detailed plan.

Chu Feng was very pleased to hear that he had a chance to cultivate the Taoist Demon Soul Splitting Skill. The several Supreme Elders of the sect all let out long sighs of relief.

Elder Ge Qing said with a smile, "Chu Feng, you have a profound understanding of Ancient Runes. You even managed to translate the Runes on this piece of bone. Can you help this old man decipher the last two sentences on this stone stele? What exactly do they mean?"

The stele Ge Qing was pointing to was the one previously brought by Lin Shiyi to test Chu Feng.

The Ancient Runes carved on this stone stele were the easiest to translate, belonging to pictographic Runes.

However, even so, for Elder Ge Qing who specializes in the study of ancient texts, there were still incomprehensible elements. The last two sentences of Ancient Runes were something he had never managed to translate.

Ancient Runes are broad and profound; sometimes the literal meaning is one thing, but the expression is another.

Only those who are especially well-versed in these ancient texts can translate them unobstructedly.

Although Lin Shiyi had previously mocked Chu Feng, saying he couldn’t understand the runes, Elder Ge Qing was not as superficial as she was.

If he could understand the most difficult Ancient Runes, how could he not understand the simple ones?

Since the question came from a Supreme Elder, naturally Chu Feng did not dare to take it lightly. He immediately looked up at that.

With a smile, he recited, "Cast off limbs and dismiss wisdom; depart from form, depart from knowledge; unite with the Great Throughway—this is called the Sitting on the Forgotten Realm." He translated the ancient text on it without any obstacles.

However, because the content translated was profound, ordinary disciples could not understand it at all.

The few Supreme Elders all had gleaming eyes and contemplative expressions on their faces.

"Haha, so that’s how it is, that’s how it is. I’ve been pondering over it, wondering why the translations didn’t seem right. Now I understand," Elder Ge Qing said with a sudden burst of laughter after pondering for a moment.

He laughed heartily like a mischievous old child, completely shedding the dignity of a Supreme Elder, clapping his hands with glee and losing himself in his pride.

"The Sitting on the Forgotten Realm is a state of cultivation for refining one’s nature. However, very few people can reach it. Almost all the classics only mention the Sitting on the Forgotten Realm in passing. Even the few explanations that exist are crude. They are even inconsistent."

"Now, with this original text, this old man has finally fully understood," he said.

"Fellow Elders, listen and see if my translation is correct?"

Elder Ge Qing looked as if he had suddenly come to a realization, having made a significant discovery.

"To forget one’s corporeal form, to cast aside one’s cleverness, to rid oneself of the confines of body and intellect, and to become one with the Dao—this is what Sitting on the Forgotten Realm means." He provided a second translation of the original text that Chu Feng had translated.

This time, the explanation was given in plainer language, offering a clearer interpretation of the phrase.

Pu Li and the others listened with a thunderous shock reverberating through them.

"Forget one’s physical form..." They all murmured to themselves, grasping the profound meaning and essence within. They pondered over each and every word and their implications.

Heart-mind cultivation is the most difficult to enhance.

Yet, whether it be Alchemy or the practice of Sword Dao, a higher level of heart-mind cultivation is hugely beneficial.

For instance, when meditating on Swordsmanship or deriving techniques, the higher the level of heart-mind cultivation, the more efficient the process.

The realm of heart-mind cultivation has always been vague, without a standard definition.

However, based on the accumulation of millions of years of experience by our ancestors, it can be generally divided into four realms: Concentration, Entering Meditation, Sitting on the Forgotten Realm, and Void Extreme Calm.

Generally speaking, even for those old monsters who have cultivated for thousands of years, reaching the realm of Entering Meditation is considered quite an accomplishment.

As for those who have reached the Sitting on the Forgotten Realm, they are even rarer — one in a billion.

As for the ultimate realm of heart-mind cultivation, Void Extreme Calm, it has never been heard that anyone has achieved it. If Chu Feng can reach this realm, the Heart-devouring Demon Planting Technique would definitely be ineffective.

Because at this realm, with a heart like the void, guarding one’s true nature, untainted by the slightest dust, devil thoughts do not arise.

Even if the Heart-devouring Demon Planting Technique is powerful, Chu Feng himself, if devoid of wicked thoughts and malice, would naturally be fearless.

"In my previous life, I toiled and cultivated for thousands of years, and my heart-mind cultivation indeed reached the realm of Entering Meditation. Yet I have never been able to touch the threshold of the Sitting on the Forgotten Realm, let alone step into it."

Hearing Elder Ge Qing’s explanation, Chu Feng likewise gained immense benefits.

In terms of profound knowledge in cultivation, as well as understanding and realization, Chu Feng is far less skilled than these Supreme Elders. His strongest forte lies in Alchemy.

One’s lifetime is limited in energy and time.

Often, one can only focus on one thing. To excel in a certain field and become a leader in it is enough.

Just like in Chu Feng’s previous life when he became the widely admired Eternal Life Pill Master, in the way of Alchemy Dao, he had absolute pride and confidence.

At this moment, Elder Ge Qing’s explanation, word by word, sentence by sentence, struck deep into the heart, like evening drums and morning bells, awakening the deaf.

It was like a timely rain, a blow to the head, giving Chu Feng a clear and comprehensive understanding of the Sitting on the Forgotten Realm. In the future, when he works on enhancing his heart-mind cultivation, he will have a clear direction.

It is like sailing on the high seas with a lighthouse ahead, guiding the way.

After a while, the Supreme Elders and the Sect Master, one after another, left with joy on their faces, harboring a thirst for cultivation. They couldn’t wait to go back and digest their enormous gain.

To transform it into their own.

Chu Feng stayed on the second level of the Sword Pavilion for sixteen days. Now that he has found a solution to the Heart-devouring Demon Planting Technique, the stone hanging over his heart has finally settled to the ground.

Next, it’s all about intensive cultivation, striving to elevate his disciplinary cultivation to a higher level within a short period of time.

So that in the not too distant future, when arriving at the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect on the Divine Martial Continent, he can have greater say. Without strength, no matter where one is, they are looked down upon and occupy a lowly status.

The words you speak are only seen as hot air by others.

Lin Shiyi bit her lip, staring at Chu Feng with eyes as if she could eat him alive. Her pretty face was almost coated in a layer of frost from her irritation and embarrassment.
