Chapter 321: State of Mind and Cultivation

Qing Huan did not rush to ask Xiao Xuan and Tian Mu, but asked curiously: "What do you want to do by telling me this?"

Gu Yuan took Qing Huan all the way to a lake in the manor, stopped, and said: "You pointed out a path for us and told us how to go. We cut through the thorns in front of us, but you just sat back and enjoyed the results..."

Qing Huan interrupted him, rolled her eyes, and said, "Don't be so aggrieved, it's just that the division of labor is different, I am responsible for coming up with ideas, and you are responsible for implementation...

If you don’t want to, I just said that you can refuse!”

Gu Yuan smiled helplessly and said, "But the only ones who are qualified to take this path and pave the way for you are the top Dou Shengs...Apart from me and Emperor Hun Tian, ​​who else can you find?"

Qing Huan chuckled and said, "Believe me, training a few top Dou Shengs is not a big problem for me. It's just a matter of time."

"I believe this. After all, you are also a ninth-grade alchemy grandmaster!"

Gu Yuan sighed and said, "Well, after practicing those three techniques, I found that my character had changed... This made me feel uneasy, and I believe that Emperor Hun Tian felt the same way."

Qing Huan asked curiously, "What changes? Tell me about it?"

Gu Yuan said carefully: "My emotions have begun to fade, and I am no longer interested in many things. Even for Xun'er, the love I once had in my heart is now difficult to fluctuate..."

"understood!"

Qing Huan nodded and said happily: "Isn't this good? Could it be that you are still thinking about women at your age?"

Gu Yuan frowned and said, "I'm not kidding. This change in your character makes me doubt whether this path leads to the Dou Emperor, or whether you have done something wrong?"

Qing Huan said seriously: "I can say with certainty that I did not do anything wrong, and there is nothing wrong with this path. Even if it does not lead to Dou Di, it is definitely a kind of transcendence!"

Gu Yuan thought: "Do you know about this situation?"

Qing Huan nodded and said, "To put it simply, your state of mind cannot keep up with your cultivation."

Gu Yuan asked doubtfully: "State of mind?"

Qing Huan smiled and said, "If an ordinary person suddenly gained powerful strength, what would happen?"

Gu Yuan subconsciously said: "Controlled by power... Are you saying that I am controlled by my own power?"

"Remember what I said about the 'Way of the Heart' and the 'Way of the Body'?"

Qing Huan sighed and said, "Those of you who practice the Way of the Body are so focused on accumulating energy in your body that you have never considered the state of mind. Even if you have cultivated to the peak of the Dou Sheng, apart from your powerful strength, what is the difference between you and ordinary people?
But it’s different for the Dou Emperor. It’s not just a rise in energy, it’s also a leap of the soul. Not only the cultivation level needs to be improved, but the state of mind must also keep up!
Cultivating both the body and soul is the way to transcendence!"

Gu Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "Then what should I do?"

"Why do you have to do something?" Qing Huan asked, "Isn't this good? For the sake of the Doudi realm you dream of, you have to give up some useless emotions... I believe that Emperor Hun Tian will definitely not refuse!"

Gu Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "I am not Emperor Hun Tian. I want to be a human being, not a stone without emotions!"

Qing Huan looked Gu Yuan up and down, and after a moment said, "I don't know."

Gu Yuan was stunned: "You don't know? You created this technique, and you are also aware of this situation, how could you not know?"

Qing Huan grinned and said, "Because I have encountered similar situations, but the way I solved it cannot be copied."

Gu Yuan said distrustfully: "Are you sure it can't be copied? Tell me first?"

Qing Huan shook her head and said, "Don't tell me. It's useless to tell me!"

If you have the ability, you can also find a big boss to help you reincarnate!
Gu Yuan's expression was somewhat uncertain.

Qing Huan thought for a moment and said, "However, in order to prevent that kind of situation from happening again, I have thought of several solutions, but they have not been verified... Do you want to try?"

Gu Yuan's mouth twitched: "Are you asking me to help you pave the way again?"

Qing Huan looked at the lake in front of him and changed the subject, saying, "I sensed a subtle spatial fluctuation... Is this the entrance to the Ancient Clan?"

Gu Yuan looked at Qing Huan deeply and waved his hand.

The originally obscure spatial fluctuations suddenly became violent and extremely terrifying.

The next moment, an extremely bright beam of light suddenly shot out from the bottom of the lake and finally connected with the energy shield of the city.

A black space door leading to the unknown depths slowly opened in front of the two of them!

Gu Yuan entered first, and after Qing Huan took a look, he chose to follow.

After the two entered, the door closed again and disappeared.

……

The stars have turned! Above the endless blue sky, clouds are floating, and occasionally a breeze blows, bringing a green wave that stretches to the end of the grassland below...

The rich vitality of heaven and earth is almost several times that of the outside world!
Suddenly entering here, Qinghuan's aura suddenly surged, but was forcibly suppressed the next moment and restrained within the body.

Gu Yuan looked at him strangely, and asked, "Are you suppressing your realm? Why don't you break through?"

Qing Huan said nonchalantly: "Do you know a dam? If it is blocked for a long time, it only needs a gap to pour down, unstoppable... If I choose to break through now, I am afraid I will have to rush all the way to Dou Sheng...

You haven't helped me clear the road ahead yet, why break through? What if it's a dead end?"

Gu Yuan had a complicated expression and was speechless.

With a sigh, Gu Yuan walked slowly in one direction with Qing Huan.

Qinghuan looked at the surrounding scenery with interest. It was indeed the permanent space opened up by the Dou Emperor. It was completely different from the space opened up by the Dou Saint.

Space is healing. Whether it is tearing space or opening a space channel, energy is needed to maintain it. Otherwise, once the energy is withdrawn, the space will heal naturally.

This is true even for the space opened up by a Douluo. The Burning Flame Valley is an alien space opened up by a nine-star Douluo. However, due to the insufficient strength of its descendants, it has been shrinking continuously and has now shrunk to the point where it can barely accommodate a mountain.

Only the Dou Emperor has the ability to open up a permanent space.

Gu Yuan walked in front, and Qing Huan followed behind. With a playful look on his face, he kept drawing wreaths with his fingers. Firelight scattered from his fingertips, and he barely drew a space door, but it disappeared the next moment...

It is quite difficult to connect the Doudi Space to the outside world... The Emperor Clan relies on the Doudi Space to avoid invasion from the outside world.

After a while, the space door at Qing Huan's fingertips became more and more stable. Gu Yuan spoke up and said, "Can you tell me about the methods you just mentioned?"

Qing Huan was stunned: "What?"

Gu Yuan sighed and said, "Just what you thought, several ways to solve emotional indifference!"

"Oh!"

Qing Huan nodded and said, "The simplest way is to find an emotional anchor and pour your emotions into it wholeheartedly... but this can easily turn you into a bootlicker."

Gu Yuan looked puzzled: "Dog licker?"

"It's just an adjective, never mind it."

Qing Huan waved his hand and continued, "Secondly, it is to engrave a thought in your heart and use it to lock your life outlook... However, only people with great wisdom and perseverance can perfect their thoughts!"

Gu Yuan pondered and said, "Thoughts? What kind of thoughts?"

"It depends on yourself, your thoughts, or your doctrines... The world doesn't have your ideas about how to behave in the world. You have to create them yourself."

Qing Huan seemed to have thought of something, smiled knowingly, and said, "The last and most difficult way is to dream!"

Gu Yuan was stunned and said in disbelief: "Dream? Is this the kind of dream that ordinary people have when they sleep, as I understand it?"

Qing Huan explained: "Everyone has aspirations in life, and these aspirations can be explained as "delusion", the "delusion" of wishful thinking!
For example, if you want to break through to the Dou Di realm, this is a delusion, and if Xiao Yan covets your daughter’s body, this is also a delusion…”

Gu Yuan's face remained normal, but after a moment it suddenly turned dark.

Qing Huan smiled and continued, "As long as we can break the delusion, it will be fine. As for how to break the delusion... it will not work if we simply get what we want, because people's delusions and desires are endless. Once they get one thing, they will crave the next one...

The correct approach is to "abandon wisdom and wisdom" and return to the basics! If you don't have the Dou Emperor, you won't be eager to break through the Dou Emperor, and naturally you won't have this kind of delusion. "

Gu Yuan pondered and said, "You just said that people's delusions are endless. Even if there is no Dou Di, there are others. This is the nature of all living things. Even animals will fight for territory, food, and mates...

If that is the case, then wouldn’t it be impossible to eliminate the delusion forever?”

Qing Huan smiled and said, "There is no self, no others, no sentient beings, no life... As long as there is "nothing", there will naturally be no delusion."

Gu Yuan thought for a long time before he understood the meaning of this sentence. He said in annoyance, "If we do this, the result will be no different from stone, right?"

Qing Huan laughed and said, "That's why I said I wanted to 'dream'! Humans are one of the living beings, with endless desires, how can it be possible to 'not' be a living being?

So just experience it in a dream, and when you get tired and annoyed, you will naturally break free from the delusion."

Gu Yuan found it hard to understand, and said, "How can one control one's own dreams? Besides, dreams are also fake..."

“So this method is also the most difficult.”

Qing Huan shrugged and said, "Using the false to cultivate the true, do you understand? When the false is made true, the true becomes false, and when there is nothing, there is something and there is nothing... The Great Illusion!" (End of this chapter)
