Chapter 435: Fortune and misfortune depend on each other
Chapter 435: Fortune and misfortune depend on each other
The illusion of "getting" suddenly broke free from the "clone", as fast as thunder and as nimble as a rabbit!
She was like the most tyrannical bully in the class. The moment she appeared, those stubborn people were like lapdogs meeting their master, not daring to stop her in the slightest.
Even the delusion of anger was tinged with a hint of "flattery," and it gave way as if to please.
That pure look didn't even look at him, he kicked the other person away and rushed straight towards the subjective with a tyrannical and domineering attitude!
Subjective is invisible and intangible, and its concept is higher than the soul. Its existence cannot be clearly felt unless one reaches the state of refining the spirit and returning to the void.
Therefore, it is extremely difficult to manifest it.
Only people like Jiang Yan, who have been studying another path since childhood and firmly believe in the existence of this path, can achieve what they have today. They can deal with thousands of delusions with ease and without being invaded by inner demons.
But at this moment, it became his biggest breakthrough.
If those delusions really invade the subjective, he will become a "human", but also an extreme "human".
But the good news is that those delusions failed to come.
But the bad news is that Shen Ming's fantasy has come true...
Jiang Yan's invisible and intangible subjectivity was permeated by this wisp of imagination, and it actually manifested his subjectivity.
Light red lines gradually outlined a young man. There was no color or substance in his body, only the human figure drawn by the lines, like a black and white comic book.
At this moment, he sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and brows lowered, his mind hanging high in the air, completely exposed to his delusion.
Logically speaking, this should be the most dangerous moment for him. Exposing himself without any scruples like this is almost equivalent to self-destruction.
There is almost no need for any inner demons or heavenly demons. As long as there is someone who has practiced this art well, Jiang Yan's cognition can be easily changed with just a thought, which naturally includes the delusions in the body.
However, at this moment, the obsessions in his body that he had to deal with carefully in the past became extremely docile and honest in front of him.
As well-behaved as a dog.
Jiang Yan waved his hand expressionlessly, and a strong resentment came immediately. Although it had no shape, Jiang Yan could clearly feel that the other party was "kneeling"?
This resentment was for the abandonment of the Ancient Immortal Sect, for the fact that his master had expelled him without saying anything, for Shen Ming's repeated deceptions over the past few decades, and for his inability to return home...
In the past, although he could sense this resentment, because he was sitting high up in the spiritual world, although all evils avoided him, his pure and emotionless subjective attitude also meant that he would not care about the "petty schemes" under him.
What does it matter if I have so many grievances against myself? I remain unmoved!
This is the pure root of life! Born from filth, yet unstained by the mud!
Jiang Yan was helpless about this, but he was also content. It was a blessing to have such a heart that defied the heavens, so why should he complain?
But now it’s different. His completely exposed subjectivity is entangled in Shen Ming’s imagination and is inevitably affected to some extent.
Jiang Yan slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were like a lonely mountain standing proudly in the snow, freezing people to the bone!
He raised his hand, and a wisp of light red smoke emerged from the lines of his body, circled above the spiritual platform, and then fell rapidly, piercing straight into the resentment!
Although the opponent surrendered, he would not sit still and wait for death. He exploded into pieces!
Every one of them is it, but every one of them is not it!
Together they become one, apart they become thousands! This is Jiang Yan's resentment!
But so what!
If you give me 10,000, I'll kill 10,000! If you give me 20,000, I'll kill 20,000! I'll kill as many as you give me!
Jiang Yan's subjective lines lightened slightly, and the light red lines that outlined his body were all pulled out, turning into thousands of swimming worms that flew through the flowers and attracted butterflies in the small space of his mind!
When the thorn hits the stubborn delusion, it will often devour it in an instant!
No matter how much they rebel, they are still "Jiang Yan", just with different personalities.
This was the emotion Jiang Yan felt from the swimming worm...
About half a minute later, all the delusions in Jiang Yan's body were gone.
My mind has never been as pure and clear as it was today! My body is also as exquisite as the seven orifices, and the breeze passes through it, as if there is nothing.
A ray of spiritual light seemed to penetrate the body and comprehend the great way of heaven and earth.
The "reality" of the world also jumps out before the eyes, and the various laws within the realm of the seven emotions seem to jump out before the eyes as if competing for beauty.
Jiang Yan was lost in thought for a moment, staring at the world in front of him with a bit of obsession...
The obsession of "foolishness" suddenly appeared, and then it was entangled by the light red thread that still had some desire to be unsatisfied! It played with it in its "hand" for a while, and finally swallowed it reluctantly...
Although this delusion only lasted for a moment, it still destroyed Jiang Yan's "pure" quality at the moment. Then the scene before his eyes faded away, and he woke up instantly, breaking free from that obsession...
"........."
Jiang Yan silently felt the pure "gain" that was entwined, wrapped, and wandering around him.
The other party did not affect or change himself, but instead became an invincible "protective" weapon.
From today on, no "inner demon" or "obsession" can affect him anymore.
And his journey on the mortal path also ended at this moment. At least he no longer had to worry before becoming an immortal.
People say that it is difficult to save the three corpses, and it is even more difficult to kill the three corpses. Although he cannot kill the three corpses completely, this... is also like using a small knife to poke the butts of the three corpses continuously, right?
And what I gained this time is more than that...
"Haha...it's true that misfortunes often come with blessings, and blessings often come with misfortunes. I'm afraid even Shen Ming couldn't have imagined this..."
Jiang Yan paused for a moment, feeling somewhat suspicious.
"Get? Isn't this a bit of a coincidence? This delusion could have been replaced with something else, like possession, protection, or control. Why did you choose 'getting', which can't affect anything?"
"Get...get, only this pure fantasy would make her stay by my side quietly even after I completely let go of everything, because she is "getting", and as long as she gets it, she will be honest and obedient for the rest of her life..."
"Is this considered... a disguised form of protection?"
Jiang Yan was silent for a moment.
"Hmph, considering that you helped me resolve the potential hidden danger, I'll reluctantly forgive your recklessness just now."
The will moved slightly, and the subjective retreated from the spiritual realm and gradually disappeared.
And "Jiang Yan", who had always been like a pervert, slowly restrained his smile, let go of his hand and lay on his side with his chin in his hand, looking at Zhiwei who was sleeping peacefully with a smile in his eyes.
This was the personality that Jiang Yan had originally fabricated. The material was mainly composed of Shen Ming's pure imagination, supplemented by the merits of incense and fire, which supported his body.
Now, he is covered in an invisible and intangible gilded robe of seven emotions, and inside is a golden and red clone.
He hid in the deepest part, secretly peeking at the outside world.
Even this fabricated clone was unaware of Jiang Yan's existence.
It possesses the qualities that are enough to compete with the realm of seven emotions, and everything it does can completely replace Jiang Yan without being discovered.
The real Jiang Yan was now adapting to his "new perspective" because he remembered what this new special "state" resembled.
Generally speaking, only when a cultivator understands the essence of his own mind and has insight into the true nature of all things can he reach the legendary state of enlightenment, and his vision, spirit, and cognition will be further improved.
At this time, the cultivator has already understood his true nature, and is also not disturbed by delusions, and can see through delusions. However, this kind of "seeing" and not being disturbed is the true "freedom from worries". The stronger the mind, the stronger the path.
Unlike Jiang Yan's clear subjective change, he forcibly honed his subjective nature to make him sit high on the spiritual platform, where all evils would avoid him.
This kind of avoidance of evil and delusion is passive and cannot be driven out subjectively. Once you have the thought of driving it out, your subjective thinking is no longer pure and you will be unable to resist delusion.
But the former can see the true nature of things and can be driven out subjectively, it is just a matter of whether one is willing or not.
After a cultivator has "enlightened his mind and seen his nature", the next step is to eliminate all delusions and achieve unity with the body and the outside world. In this way, he can gain insight into the principles of heaven and earth.
Closer to the "Tao".
This state of mind is no longer within the realm of the "ordinary" but is often the state possessed by true "mortal immortals".
The mental process of ordinary cultivators who have achieved enlightenment and become immortals is also like this. This is the experience left by a senior who had achieved immortality in the ancient immortal sect.
But Jiang Yan is now doing the opposite. He has not achieved "enlightenment of the mind and realization of the nature", but he has achieved "elimination of all delusion". His "body" has reached the realm of "immortality" before his "mind". Does this count as "realization"?
What are the specific consequences...
Jiang Yan said he had no idea!
This is not what he wants!
"However, we'll discuss the consequences later. Now... I can take a good look at the truth of this world~"
Jiang Yan couldn't help rubbing his hands in his heart. Even though the delusion that came from "desire" was "eaten", Jiang Yan couldn't help but feel a little bit helpless.
After "getting" has eaten up many of the newly generated delusions in one's body, the state of "harmony between man and nature" will come again!
Jiang Yan seized the opportunity and quickly entered a state of meditation! With his mind and eyes wide open, Jiang Yan quietly reached out and began to spy on and contact the "world". In an instant, an inexplicable "pressure" descended. The "Jiang Yan" on the surface naturally did not react at all. This pressure was reflected in the life of the original Jiang Yan!
It is as if the soul is carrying a heavy boulder, and every movement, sitting, and lying down is like a spiritual test. I am afraid that it will not take long for the soul to become exhausted and listless, and in severe cases, it may even lead to death from exhaustion.
"Since I have glimpsed the principles of heaven and earth, I must bear the weight of heaven and earth. However, I, Kong Zhan Zhiwu, do not have an immortal heart and cannot see my true nature. Therefore, if I glimpse heaven and earth lightly, I will easily be crushed by heaven and earth..."
Jiang Yan quickly understood the essence of the matter, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Others first "enlighten their minds" and then "see their nature", but he does it the other way around.
Even before becoming an immortal, he already possessed the "power" of an immortal, and could use this power to look down upon the world. However, without an immortal heart, he was unable to bear the weight of it. He had "power" but no "strength"...
This is a double-edged sword. If you want to use it, you must accept it. Either improve yourself to the level where you cannot be hurt by it, or don't use it.
Moreover, this place is still relatively good. After all, it is only covered by the realm of the seven emotions, and the "power" of the rules is many times weaker than the avenue of the objective world!
But even so, Jiang Yan found it a bit too much to bear.
"Hehe... This pressure is just simply bearing it. If someone were to spy on me, I'm afraid it would be even heavier! It seems that the person who created the Seven Emotions Realm is no ordinary being... Then let me see who you really are!"
Jiang Yan thought indifferently, and then his eyes widened! There was a look of madness on them!
A single thought arises, and instantly, the mind is in chaos! Demons dance wildly!
However... these were all devoured by "Get" in an instant, even faster than the speed at which they were born.
So at the moment when all his delusion was gone, Jiang Yan looked outside again!
"You can now peek into the world. The price is small, just a few more years of recovery!"
Then, break through the shackles and enter the power of the seven emotions!
In an instant, my perception was filled with countless colors, and birds were lingering around me, emitting a vast and obscure aura, which seemed vague and non-existent.
The colors and shapes of all things faded away, leaving only the outlines.
It is brilliant and colorful, without any real shape, indescribable, and its appearance cannot be seen clearly.
And Jiang Yan finally saw the real world! Although it was the world within the realm of the seven emotions...
"We have to hurry and confirm one thing! Even if it's just a glance!"
Jiang Yan's face was as pale as frost, showing neither joy nor sorrow, and his eyes quickly searched around.
In this "real" world, ordinary "distance" seems to have disappeared. Something that is only half a step away may seem like a thousand miles away in this world, and vice versa.
However, Jiang Yan was already prepared and was searching intently.
Soon, he found it!
It was a colorful void. From a distance, it seemed as if all the splendor avoided it, wandering around the edge and outlining a colorful halo.
But when you look closely, you will find that it is not that the splendor avoids this void, but that this void radiates color! Continuously outward and thus maintain this world!
This entire realm of seven emotions originates from it!
"What's this?!"
Jiang Yan was shocked. This was a sign that he could no longer bear it and was about to collapse.
But Jiang Yan, who was supposed to take a peek and leave, was now deeply attracted by the strange void.
That magnificent transformation, if one could glimpse even a tiny bit, one could control all the spirits in the world! Endless "knowledge" emerged, and Jiang Yan longed to obtain more.
And the more he peeked, the more scenes he saw inside the hole.
A vague and obscure figure loomed in the core...
Lines were spontaneously drawn around the hole, gradually revealing seven blurry figures.
"A little more... a little more!"
As he was thinking, he was filled with random thoughts. Jiang Yan should have been forced to exit this state, but he seemed to be stuck with glue and could not get rid of it, nor did he want to.
The subjective delusion of "getting" that has been entangled in the mind instinctively discovered the abnormality, and then shook the subjective mind to try to wake up Jiang Yan, but it was of no avail.
In the end, "Get" sensed that a trace of danger was trying to penetrate inward along Jiang Yan, so it suddenly exploded without hesitation!
Thousands of gossamer threads were like steel needles, piercing Jiang Yan's subjective mind fiercely!
"hiss!"
Unspeakable discomfort and fear instantly filled my heart. This fear was not in the physical sense, but the thing that every living being feared the most, which was the distortion of their essence!
Born unique, how can I be willing to become a prisoner?
Under the fear that came from the instinct of living beings, Jiang Yan was finally awakened!
At that moment, Jiang Yan barely hesitated, reacting swiftly and decisively to sever that strand of subjective will! His efficiency and decisiveness were so rapid, they were practically on par with Dedao's actions, their coordination so seamless it was truly terrifying!
clang! !
hum~
It was like the sound of a huge bell, or the echo of ancient times. My mind was empty, my soul was dull, my heart and eyes were blank, and I didn't know how many years had passed...
