Yang Yi looked at the statue of the founder of Maoshan Sect on the altar in the middle of the hall and suddenly became serious.
"Burn incense for the founder!" Ninth Uncle shouted with a serious expression.
The two of them thought for a moment and understood their master's intentions. They were instantly overjoyed. This meant that their master was going to impart the Dao.
The two immediately lit three incense sticks each and kowtowed three times respectfully.
"Today, I will begin to teach you Mao Mountain's true magic.”Ninth Uncle said solemnly.
Although the two of them had guessed it, they were overjoyed when they heard it with their own ears. They bowed in unison and said,"Thank you, Master."
Yang Yi had another thought. He guessed that his master's anxious imparting of spells was probably related to the matter of human demons and immortals.
" You already know the precepts of Mao Mountain," Ninth Uncle said slowly with his hands behind his back." In front of the founder, recite the precepts once.”
After Ninth Uncle finished speaking, Yang Yi immediately recited,""Disciples of Mao Mountain are not allowed to be lewd, kill each other, or use the Mao Mountain Art to harm others.”
Lin Cai revealed a bitter expression and began to stutter. Ninth Uncle looked at his two disciples and didn't say anything.
After he finished reciting, he said,"No matter when, you must remember the precepts. Now, I'll tell you what cultivation is."”
Yang Yi and Lin Cai immediately held their breaths, afraid to miss any details.
Both of them had followed Ninth Uncle for a long time, especially Lin Cai. He had been adopted by Ninth Uncle since he was young, but he had never cultivated any spells and knew nothing about cultivation.
Ninth Uncle bowed respectfully to the patriarch three times and slowly said,"Cultivation cultivates the soul. The Taoist ancestors used the five elements of Taiji, the eight trigrams, the nine palaces, and the stars of He and Luo as the principles. They connected the vital qi of heaven and earth as the foundation to cultivate the soul and strengthen themselves.
There were countless methods to cultivate the soul in the world, but none of them were separated from the two fundamentals of the soul and the body.”
At this point, Ninth Uncle slowly said,"A strong body and a strong soul can nourish the soul. The disciples of Mao Mountain will definitely train their bodies and strengthen their blood before cultivating their souls.
Because the body is strong, the soul is stable, and the cultivation is simple, so I have been urging you to cultivate the Small Cyclic Power Training Fist.”Ninth Uncle looked at Lin Cai. Lin Cai had been with him for the longest time, but his Small Cyclic Power Training Fist was only at Level Five.
When the two of them heard this, they also understood Ninth Uncle's painstaking efforts. Lin Cai was a little regretful. Yang Yi's heart was relieved. He had already cultivated the Minor Cyclic Power Training Fist to the ninth level. His blood and Qi were strong and his soul was stable.
"The soul resides within the body and is bound by the body.
To borrow a Buddhist saying, the world was like a sea of bitterness. The human body was the boat that crossed the sea of bitterness, and the soul was the person who rowed the boat.
It was just that although the person knew about the ship, the ship might not be able to sense the person.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, living beings are unable to sense the existence of their own souls. The first step for us cultivators is to sense our own divine souls. In order to sense our divine souls, we must have a strong soul. Secondly, we must focus our minds and discard distracting thoughts.”
Hearing this, Lin Cai said proudly,""Master, although my Minor Cyclic Power Training Fist isn't very strong, my meditation technique is the best. I'll definitely be able to meditate.”
Ninth Uncle snorted as he looked at Lin Cai. A ferule suddenly appeared in his hand and he knocked Lin Cai down."Don't interrupt. You've cultivated the Tranquil Technique for more than ten years. What's there to boast about?”
" You two are too young," Ninth Uncle said." Your temperaments are unstable. That's why I've asked you to practice meditation.
If there was no way to become a god and sense the divine soul, then it was destined that it would not be able to step foot on the door of cultivation.
When you sense the soul, you can try to let the soul leave your body. Only when the soul leaves your body can the soul absorb the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, the light of the sun and the moon.
This was the second realm of cultivation, Leaving Aperture realm.
After cultivating the Dao, the soul would leave the body and wander around the body, gradually strengthening the soul. At this step, it was a divine travel.
After the Soul Travel Realm, one's soul would solidify. However, when one walked in the daytime, one could attempt to condense the Yin Spirit. Only at this stage could one be considered to have reached the threshold.”
Ninth Uncle clasped his hands behind his back and said slowly with a solemn expression. However, he did not say anything else after saying this. Yang Yi calculated in his heart. The cultivation realms were divided into Focus, Leaving Aperture, Soul Travel, and Yin Spirit. There must be a deeper realm behind it. Otherwise, the monkey demon would not have come down the mountain.
"Master, what about after the Yin Spirit?" Yang Yi asked after pondering for a while.”
Ninth Uncle said sternly," You can't bite off more than you can chew. Cultivate first. When you can leave your bodies and wander, I'll tell you in detail. If you can't even leave your bodies, it's useless to talk about it. Now, I'll teach you the technique and protect you. Try to leave your bodies."”
Yang Yi immediately did not dare to say anything more and listened carefully on how to leave the body. Ninth Uncle took out a scroll with an ancient pagoda drawn on it, giving people a sense of concentration and tranquility.
"What I taught you is the pagoda concept. Now, remember the incantation and hand gestures I taught you, and visualize the seven-story pagoda in your hearts.”Ninth Uncle's expression was serious, and he no longer had his usual pleasant expression.
Yang Yi firmly memorized the incantation and the hand seal. He began to visualize and recite it in his heart. However, the hand seal and incantation were complicated and tedious, so Yang Yi had to memorize them with all his might.
"Remember the incantations and hand seals for the next few days. Once you are familiar with them, you can try to leave your bodies.
However, before leaving the body, he needed to take a bath and change his clothes. Then, he needed to chant an incantation and form hand seals to calm his heart down. Then, he needed to visualize the pagoda and imagine himself stepping up step by step, suddenly leaping up from the highest level. The divine soul will leave its shell."
Ninth Uncle said slowly.
Lin Cai was dizzy from these incantations and gestures. He looked at his master with some grievance and prepared to go home and memorize these incantations.
At this moment, Yang Yi was reciting an incantation and forming hand seals. His heart slowly calmed down, and a seven-story pagoda appeared in his mind. He walked towards the top of the pagoda step by step. When he reached the top, he jumped suddenly.
"Eh? His soul didn't come out of his shell? Is he still alright?" Yang Yi opened his eyes and couldn't help but ask when he found nothing unusual.
When Ninth Uncle heard Yang Yi's words, he could not help but knock his head and say,""You just practiced the incantations and hand seals today, how could you be so fast?”
Lin Cai also smiled." Junior Brother, do you think you're a genius in cultivation? These incantations and hand seals are extremely complicated. I reckon we won't be able to master them without half a month."”
Yang Yi smiled awkwardly." It seems like I was too eager for quick success. I'll practice slowly."”
Yang Yi calmed his heart once again. He suddenly thought of the Merit System and summoned it in his mind.
[Host: Yang Yi.]
"Cultivation Techniques: Pagoda Visualization (incomplete), Small Cyclic Power Training Fist (perfected)"
" Merit: 2 points!"
"System, use your merit points to successfully cultivate my pagoda view.”
Following Yang Yi's call, a bit of merit entered his soul. Yang Yi felt his soul involuntarily enter the pagoda. He recalled the times when he had climbed the pagoda in the past. He climbed up layer by layer. When he reached the top of the pagoda, a strong wind blew, and he couldn't help but feel dizzy.
Yang Yi savored this feeling and jumped again.
Boom!
Yang Yi suddenly felt his head tremble. The world had changed. His body was as light as air, and he was actually floating.
What shocked Yang Yi even more was that he saw his own body. At this moment, he was floating three feet above his body.
His breathing was weak, and his eyes were tightly shut. It was as if he had fallen asleep, but also as if he had fainted.
"My soul left my body? I'm out of my body." Yang Yi shouted.
Lin Cai, who was standing at the side, saw that Yang Yi had fallen unconscious and shouted in shock,"Master, Ah Yi has fainted. Did he go berserk?”
Ninth Uncle looked at Yang Yi, and his eyes trembled in disbelief. He casually hit Lin Cai with the ferule and said,""What are you shouting for? Ah Yi has left his body. He has successfully left his body. Immediately close the windows and light a few more sandalwood sticks.”
Ninth Uncle's voice was filled with ecstasy.
