Chapter 231 - 5 Selflessness

Chapter 231: Chapter 5 Selflessness

Not long after Lin Yuan left.

The Long-Brow Taoist summoned Zhan Ting and Cao Qin back to his study.

"Why has Master called us here again? Is there something planned?" Zhan Ting and Cao Qin were pondering with confusion.

Cao Qin shrugged, clearly clueless as well.

Moments later, the two returned to the study.

With a snap, the Long-Brow Taoist tossed a secret manual onto the desk.

"I’ll give you two thirty breaths. Let’s see how much you can demonstrate." The Long-Brow Taoist blew his beard and spoke in a deep voice.

Zhan Ting and Cao Qin exchanged glances, bewildered.

What’s with the Master today? Suddenly giving us a secret manual and expecting us to understand it in thirty breaths.

But with the Master’s instructions, how could they dare disobey? They respectfully held the manual and studied it diligently.

After thirty breaths.

Cao Qin unleashed a half-inch blade light with a swish, while Zhan Ting’s blade light reached two inches.

But their level of comprehension clearly did not satisfy the Long-Brow Taoist: "Bunch of pig brains. Can’t even learn such a simple manual!"

"Yes, yes, yes."

After being criticized by the Master, their faces turned red and green.

Once they had left, the Long-Brow Taoist privately wondered: "These two disciples were just like I predicted, one half-inch, one two-inch. My judgment wasn’t wrong."

"Why does it not work on Lin Yuan?"

The Long-Brow Taoist couldn’t help but scratch his head.

************

But Lin Yuan was completely unaware of this scene, as he had already stepped through the courtyard door.

After greeting Zhu Lingshan, he went straight into the quiet room.

He closed the door to the seclusion room tightly, sitting quietly.

After half an incense stick’s time, he felt completely adjusted to his optimal state.

Lin Yuan took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

"Nine Chapters."

Lin Yuan softly called out, simultaneously immersing his mind into the Nine Chapters space.

Looking at the leaf of martial spirit interpretation, he said in a deep voice: "Interpret the second realm."

In an instant, a familiar little figure appeared before him.

In a trance, Lin Yuan seemed to follow the little figure in his understanding.

"The realm of selflessness, so this is it."

As if experiencing countless insights, under the little figure’s infusion, Lin Yuan finally grasped the concept of selflessness.

"Selflessness, what a concept of selflessness."

After savoring this realization again, his spirit suddenly burst forth in an instant.

"Selflessness does not mean forgetting oneself nor ignoring oneself. It’s, on the contrary, paying more attention to oneself. Selflessness means no distinction between me and others, yet transforming it into self. Ultimately, it still returns to one’s self."

At that moment, observing his spirit resembling a transparent shadow, extremely fragile.

Lin Yuan’s eyes shone brightly, his mind filled with enlightenment.

"Selflessness is the foundation of soul cultivation. Transforming it into self to amplify the soul."

Lin Yuan finally understood why the Master’s spirit appeared so vast, why it could grow so large!

Because the soul can also strengthen itself through devouring.

The next moment, Lin Yuan’s body radiated with the true meaning of the sun, circulating around him. In the center of the spirit, the Dantian, seemed to spawn a vortex, the true meaning of the sun swirling around his soul, constantly hovering around it.

At the moment the vortex formed, the intangible essence in the surrounding space seemed to be continuously attracted to the vortex, like a black hole devouring these intangible essences.

By now, it was already noon, but within the room, Lin Yuan’s vortex stirred, seeming to whip up northern winds, constantly blowing towards him.

Once more, a chilly sensation surrounded the spirit, but Lin Yuan immediately operated the Cloud Hidden Sky Light Map, controlling the clouds to channel the northern winds along a certain path.

Whoosh, whoosh.

As if a strong wind was blowing, Lin Yuan endured the discomfort, allowing the northern winds to blow directly towards the newly formed vortex.

The fierce cold wind instantly touched the spirit.

Lin Yuan’s eyes widened.

"Hahaha. This is the feeling. Indeed, the northern wind contains energy for strengthening the spirit."

Yet as he continued to devour, he felt the cold from the Dantian grow increasingly intense, seemingly about to freeze the entire spirit.

But Lin Yuan had anticipated this, immediately channeling the true meaning of the sun within his body into the vortex.

The blend of both felt his spirit stabilize once again.

Time passed.

Until the true meaning of the sun within the three apertures seemed to be almost depleted.

Lin Yuan quickly adjusted the clouds, cutting off the northern wind.

At that moment, Lin Yuan felt his spirit, through such devouring, seemed to have strengthened.

Lin Yuan slowly retracted his spirit, feeling the vortex continually swirling around the Dantian of his soul, he chuckled softly.

"This cultivation time was merely two incense stick periods, yet my spirit seems to have strengthened quite a bit." Lin Yuan slightly closed his eyes, as a spark of insight flashed through suddenly.

"Both northern wind and scorching sun contain this kind of soul-strengthening energy, so if I simultaneously absorb both, integrating them in the soul vortex, can I maintain a balance between the two?"

Lin Yuan’s eyes suddenly brightened.

"This requires more mystic control over the cloud. Seems like I’m back to the starting point, with the Cloud Hidden Sky Light Map!"

Thinking so, Lin Yuan immediately took out the diagram given by his Master from his embrace.

Swish.

Lin Yuan opened the scroll, hung it high on the white wall.

Looking at it from afar, Lin Yuan felt once again the sensation of his soul being lost.

Yet having stepped into the state of selflessness, Lin Yuan quickly found the cultivation method within the diagram.

"It seems this path was indeed explored by predecessors. The wisdom of people in this world is not to be underestimated." Lin Yuan felt a faint disappointment in his heart.

He knew, to further improve his cultivation efficiency, he needed to acquire the second divine diagram.

"Sunshine Cloud Map!" Lin Yuan’s eyes flashed slightly, speaking calmly: "Seems I need to obtain it soon."

Lin Yuan quelled the regret in his heart, contemplating anew: "Just now the vortex, appeared singular. Moreover, it required the movement of the true meaning of the sun within the apertures to counteract the chill of the northern wind."

"What if I have two vortices? Directly placing them within the apertures, constantly integrating with the spirit, without needing to deliberately channel the essence."

"It seems this is a feasible path."

Lin Yuan’s thoughts whirled, daringly thinking.

"The human body has three hundred sixty apertures. I shall condense three hundred sixty vortices upon the apertures, persistently absorbing the northern wind, directly melting with the true meaning of the sun within the apertures, thus expanding my spirit."

More Lin Yuan thought, the more excited he became. It was as if he could see a supreme path.

"If it were others doing this, it would indeed be crazy. But I have the Nine Chapters!"

Lin Yuan’s eyes revealed boundless excitement.

"Then, now requires me to take the first step."

Swish!

Once again, Lin Yuan’s spirit unfolded, his steely gaze staring at the illuminated apertures within his spirit.

"Then let’s start with the most fundamental aperture, the Dantian."

Instantly, Lin Yuan dispersed the vortex at the Dantian location of his spirit, then condensed a small vortex upon the Dantian.

In the center of the vortex, a passage straight towards the aperture.

Once the vortex formed.

Lin Yuan gritted his teeth and moved the cloud layer aside.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

The northern wind instantly blew, swiftly entering Lin Yuan’s apertures.

"Bad, too much!" Feeling the northern wind instantly invading the apertures, his lower abdomen spirit seemed to freeze over instantly.

Yet at the aperture location, it was intensely violent. Like a drop of water in boiling oil, instantly exploding.

Lin Yuan’s expression changed instantly.

"Cough, cough!"

Lin Yuan suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood. His spirit was already severely damaged. Hastily he controlled the clouds, cutting off all the northern wind.

Yet the true meaning of the sun inside shifted vigorously, like ants invading a nest, extremely hostile. Constantly repelling the foreign chill of the northern wind, declaring sovereignty, violently agitating within.

Lin Yuan, however, did not mind, his mind was already immersed within the space of the Nine Chapters.

At this moment, his heart couldn’t help but feel anxious because, till now, he hadn’t seen the sprouts of the Nine Chapters.

Lin Yuan pondered in silence for a moment, then reopened his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly spoke: "Since this self-created martial art aims to amplify the spirit and concurrently cultivate three hundred sixty apertures, it achieves the Great Perfect Cycle. I shall name it: Great Cycle Refining Void Strengthening Nerve!"

As Lin Yuan finished speaking.

The Nine Chapters space remained silent, Lin Yuan could only wait quietly.

Just at the next instant, Lin Yuan’s eyes flickered, his heart couldn’t stop trembling.

The vine within the Nine Chapters space quietly sprouted.
