A true transmission is but a single sentence; a false one fills ten thousand scrolls!

The genuine principle is always simple and clear, pointing straight to the Great Dao!

In the eyes of ordinary people, the sentence now appearing on the Jade Scroll might just be more profound ancient text. But in Jiang Shu’s eyes, it was akin to thunder exploding. In the darkness, it burst forth with infinite light.

To forget one’s form, abandon one’s senses, break free from the restraints of body and intellect, and become one with the Great Dao—this is called Sitting and Forgetting.

Jiang Shu held the Jade Scroll. Techniques from Xia Country’s Martial Arts cultivation, Cang Mang Domain’s Primordial Power Divine Abilities cultivation, the universe’s spiritual cultivation methods, and even the Divine Skills cultivation system obtained through exchange—all flashed through his mind.

To forget is not truly to forget, but to thoroughly integrate into one’s own flesh, blood, cells, and soul. Internally, one does not perceive one’s own body; externally, one does not recognize the existence of heaven and earth.

This Realm was, for Jiang Shu, desirable yet unattainable. Currently, he had only integrated with heaven and earth, sensing their changes. He could clearly distinguish that he was himself, and heaven and earth were heaven and earth. The Sitting and Forgetting Realm, however, required the Unity of Heaven and Man, the forgetting of both self and objects.

At this Realm, one’s body is no longer just a body but a part of heaven and earth. In the eyes of a powerful being in the Sitting and Forgetting Realm, planets are no longer cradles of life but Treasures that can be assimilated into one’s body, from which vast power arises. In the Universe, a powerful expert in the Sitting and Forgetting Realm ruled over at least one or even several Extraordinary Planets. The might of such an existence was countless times greater than that of the Mixed Element Breath.

PHEW...

Several breaths later, Jiang Shu finally regained his senses. Although this true transmission sentence could not elevate his Spiritual Cultivation Realm, it had shown him the correct path forward.

Indeed, Xuanxing was not at all simple.

"Jiang Wushen, just now..." Wang Yan, standing by, had naturally noticed Jiang Shu’s unusual behavior moments before and couldn’t help but ask.

Jiang Shu replied, "After searching for so long, I’ve finally found something. There’s a sentence about the Sitting and Forgetting Realm cultivation left on this Jade Scroll." Without any concealment, he directly passed the Jade Scroll over. As the ancients said, ’A single phrase can awaken one from a dream,’ or ’It is like awakening from a dream.’ The most important thing is to be in the dream first. His Realm cultivation had reached the Mixed Element Breath; it was as if he had witnessed the creation of heaven and earth, like being in a dream.

But Wang Yan was not. His Realm was only the Divine Breath Realm. Even if he saw this true transmission, the impact on him might not compare to the method of advancing to the Mixed Element Breath that Jiang Shu had explained a month ago.

Indeed, Wang Yan’s brow furrowed slightly. He pondered for a long time before finally giving up. This Realm was too distant for him, so far that only a fleeting spark of inspiration seemed within grasp, but it quickly vanished, never to be seen again.

"One must first integrate completely to achieve great enlightenment and begin to transcend," Jiang Shu remarked briefly and said no more. Cultivation Realms are always achieved one step at a time. When Wang Yan reached the Mixed Element Breath in the future, he would naturally have a new understanding.

Wang Yan also nodded and said, "This past month, besides collecting various ancient philosophical texts, I’ve also been secretly investigating the latest changes in Secret Mine Crystal Stones within our Xia Country and some other nations. In the Sha Country, deep within a newly formed Spiritual Thought Crystal vein, everything was gone—stripped completely clean. Other countries have also suffered losses. Everyone definitely started mining the outer parts first, and for sustainable development, they all made plans. No one expected that, despite layers of defense, the lines that withstood the assault of Sixth-Rank Mutant Beasts were invisibly breached and silently infiltrated. In our Xia Country, investigations in all major provinces show no significant changes. They probably didn’t come here out of consideration for you, Jiang Wushen."

Wang Yan spoke in a low voice. As the changes on Xuanxing grew more significant, he became increasingly aware of Jiang Shu’s importance. Xia Country’s stable development today was largely due to Jiang Shu. Without Jiang Shu, the consciousness of that Universe expert would surely have entered Xia Country. An unknown amount of resources would have been plundered. Even an ordinary Spiritual Thought Crystal vein is of immeasurable value; trillions of units would be insignificant before it.

Jiang Shu then said, "This expert is very measured, basically taking only a portion from each country. Perhaps he is truly different from those Western deities. Entering Xuanxing isn’t necessarily an invasion; it could also be cooperation. I just checked; apart from our Xia Country, all other nations have been ’visited.’ So, it’s highly probable that this expert’s consciousness is currently in our Xia Country, and we just haven’t found it yet."

With a sweep of his thought, Jiang Shu scanned the resource distribution map in Wang Yan’s hands and continued, "In our Xia Country, the most important resources are located in famous mountains and great rivers. Among them, Tai Mountain, because I once entered seclusion there, has had many of its resources mined. Aside from Tai Mountain, the place with the most abundant resources should be the highest peak. If I were that expert, I would definitely go there. It is vast and unscalable. After Xuanxing’s transformation, the highest peak has reached over ten thousand meters, a height that even soldiers of the Martial Arts Third Realm cannot summit. I’ll go take a look. I have a premonition that I can meet him there."

In the unseen realm, intentions resonated. Jiang Shu felt a connection. Obtaining that sentence about Sitting and Forgetting from the ancient philosophical texts had already made this trip worthwhile. As for what might be discovered next, Wang Yan would naturally inform him; there was no need to wait idly in Shengjing.

After a simple meal with the First Leader and Wang Yan, Jiang Shu walked out of the imperial palace and boarded the latest sky-hovering train.

To integrate with heaven and earth, to integrate with nature, one must also integrate into every aspect of life.
