Chapter 369: Life and death can refine the heart
Chapter 367 – Life and Death Can Refine the Heart
“Practicing in such a manner, if you are not crazy, who is crazy.”
After a long time, Li Fan, who had finished reading the entire jade slip, could not help but sigh.
What was recorded in the jade slip was naturally the “Life and Death Xuan Gong” that Zhong Shentong had said earlier that he was practicing.
Half a volume of the remnants of the book, I do not know where it came from.
The essence of the gong method was even more unbelievable.
In the first chapter of the spell, it begins with a clear definition.
It is believed that everything in this world will always have a death.
Birds, beasts, grass, trees, humans.
Even cultivators, demonic beasts, and even heaven and earth themselves.
None can escape this destiny.
If one wishes to transcend death, the only way to do so is before one’s own death comes.
To reach an iterative state of life and death that is neither life nor death, also life and death.
This is also the highest state envisioned by the gong method.
In order to achieve “life and death together”, one needs to have an unparalleled understanding and knowledge of the nature of life and death.
The “Induction of Life and Death” was one of the techniques used in the gong method to perceive life and death.
From the initial “love of life and fear of death”, to “giving up life and forgetting death”, to “life and death together”.
The “Life and Death Xuan Gong” was such a peculiar technique practiced with the power of life and death.
Because of its high intention, the content of the technique was also extremely difficult and obscure.
Compared to the “Qi Xuan True Spirit Transformation”, it was even better.
Perhaps it was even because the founder of the technique hadn’t reached that realm of life and death either.
Most of the cultivation content in the second half of the technique was already speculation and conjecture.
Li Fan could see one or two inconsistencies in a cursory glance.
“The gong method is good, but it’s a pity that it’s incomplete. If it was complete, it would still be barely useful. Now, it can only be used as a reference.”
“Moreover, it’s a pity that Zhong Shentong’s seven-colored divine light doesn’t seem to be related to this Life and Death Xuan Gong.”
Li Fan shook his head slightly.
Putting the jade slip away, Li Fan pondered for a moment and tried to run the Life and Death Induction Chapter.
This was the precursor to the “Life and Death Xuan Gong” that must be practiced if one wanted to get started, and even mortals could practice it.
Li Fan naturally had no problem with it.
Word by word it quietly flowed in Li Fan’s mind.
Three days and three nights later.
Li Fan, who was practicing with his eyes closed, suddenly experienced a turbulence in his mind.
Countless images surfaced in front of his eyes all of a sudden.
It was as if he had vaguely returned to Da Xuan again, the spiritedness he felt when he won the three elements in a row, the recklessness in the Empress Dowager’s palace, the unrivaled domination of the world ……
As well as later on, he went through dangers and broke through the Immortal Overwhelming Formation, finally coming to the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
Step by step, from mortal, refining qi, building foundation, and forming dan.
Every single event in his past life that excited him in every single way, all of them competed to be the first to come to the forefront of his mind.
It made Li Fan feel like he was personally re-experiencing it.
In such a broken time, iterated many great joyful things.
Even with Li Fan’s mind, he couldn’t help but become a bit fluttery and elated.
Just when this joyful atmosphere reached its peak at the moment ……
All the scenes were like bubbles, bursting one after another.
In its place, were the moments of near-death that Li Fan encountered every time.
“Father, father ……”
“Husband!”
The cries of grief and pain vaguely came from his ears, it was in the first life when he had not yet awakened to his Returning Truth and was about to die due to his illness.
“But just seeking a ray of life!” Kou Hong’s crazy laughter accompanied by a huge roar, and a sky full of fire, appeared in front of Li Fan’s eyes.
That was the second life, when Dao Xuan Zi and Kou Hong fought, Xuan Jing was destroyed, and Li Fan narrowly escaped death.
The Immortal Overwhelming Formation’s Split Boundary Whale, the rapid aging of being transformed into a sea of ocean, and the pursuit of the Protector Elder
……
A scene of deadly crisis seemed to descend on Li Fan at the same moment.
Until the space in the Heavenly Xuan Mirror was torn apart, and the face of a kindly old man was vaguely visible in front of him.
The fear in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
Li Fan broke away from his cultivation. “Also ……”
The remaining half of the word true was not yet shouted in his heart.
All sorts of fearful imagery disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Only then did Li Fan stop alive.
His body was already drenched in cold sweat, and his breathing was truly as rapid as if he had returned from the dead.
Li Fan’s eyes flickered as he reviewed what he had just experienced.
“The cultivation has failed.”
“This Life and Death Induction Chapter induces an inner fear of death, it is by no means just a simple illusion in general.”
“Rather, it is somewhat similar to that Yima, extremely illusory and nearly real.”
“If the heart thinks it is true, then it is true.”
“Really dangerous to the extreme, if you are deep in it, difficult to distinguish between true and false, I’m afraid that there is really directly by their own scared to death.”
“No wonder that Zhong Shentong is crazy ……”
“The only way to truly feel the fear of death.”
Thinking about this, Li Fan sighed slightly.
“Unfortunately, this method is useless to me.”
“A normal person facing the threat of death is naturally terrified and desperate.”
“But I am different.”
“No matter what the situation is, I have a life-saving straw.”
“That’s my [Returning Truth].”
“When the sense of life and death is turned far to the extreme, and when faced with a substantial threat of death, I will instinctively call out my [Returning Truth] and start everything over ……”
“Wait ……”
In a flash, Li Fan thought of something and his expression changed slightly.
“Survival Instinct ……”
“Xuan Huang Refining Heart Mantra ……”
Standing up boldly, Li Fan’s thoughts turned rapidly.
In pacing back and forth, he pondered the feasibility.
“Reverse training the Dao Heart requires me to fight the instincts in my heart.”
“And for me, the greatest instinct is to call out [Returning Truth] when I am about to die.”
“If I use this to reverse train my dao heart, I think the rewards will be incredible.”
“But again, it is impossible to really give up the intention of returning the truth at the moment of life and death.”
“By utilizing the Sense of Life and Death Chapter, there won’t be this problem.”
Li Fan’s gaze flickered and after a moment, he stabilized his mind.
Re-running the Induction Sect.
When this time, the beauty of life was all broken and the threat of death came once again.
Li Fan still couldn’t get rid of this habit that seemed to have been engraved into his soul, and still called out [Returning Truth].
Second attempt, failed.
Li Fan persevered, the third time, the fourth time ……
All the way to fifty-six times later.
Facing the face of the Heavenly Doctor, Li Fan operated the Xuan Huang Refining Heart Mantra.
At the same time, with overwhelming perseverance, he temporarily suppressed the instinctive urge to call out [Return the Truth].
However, the threat of death did not disappear with Li Fan’s restraint.
Rather, it became more and more real.
The appearance of the Heavenly Doctor was becoming clearer in front of his eyes, and the spiritual sense in Li Fan’s heart was frantically signaling alarms.
In the end, Li Fan was still sweating profusely and detached himself from the cultivation of life and death sensation.
“Perhaps, this Induction Chapter can only truly face death head on without harming oneself after practicing to the stage of giving up life and forgetting death.”
Li Fan knew very well that if he had held on hard just now, even if he did not fall on the spot, his end would definitely not be any better.
“This gong method is really somewhat evil.”
“However, that short bit of time just now, the gain was also huge.”
From the Great Heart Refining Grinder, a little more than what he had gained from the previous incident of crossing the white mist and risking his life to seek help, a little more of a cool breath was poured down on his head.
