Chapter 12 The Sea of Wheels, The Calamity of the Underworld
Chapter 12 The Sea of Wheels, The Calamity of the Underworld
Upon thinking of this, Zhao Tianpeng immediately entered a different perspective on enlightenment. He did not rush to create scriptures, but instead focused on examining himself. He saw one imperceptible door after another in his flesh and blood, with the most doors in the chakra in his abdomen. These doors merged together in a way that he could not understand.
"The so-called secret realm is the result of Huang combining and merging the gates of human potential together. When cultivating in the Sea of Wheels, one is opening these gates to seize the potential within, strengthen oneself, and expound one's own Tao and Dharma."
"The so-called constitution is the embodiment of the achievement of Tao and Law."
He looked at the potential gates that had been opened in his Sea of Wheels Secret Realm. These gates were connected to the Wheel of Life by bridge-like passages. Some gates spewed out vigorous vitality, which turned into pure life essence and gushed out from the life spring of the Sea of Wheels, turning into divine energy. Other gates released rolling death energy. When they were connected together, they finally formed a surging sea of bitterness.
Generally speaking, life and death intertwine and wear each other down, but Zhao Tianpeng discovered that beneath his sea of suffering, the place where death was most concentrated was undergoing extreme changes, with wisps of life that were not easily detected being born from the death!
"When Yin reaches its extreme, Yang arises; when death reaches its extreme, life begins."
Zhao Tianpeng realized that his body was born from a vengeful ghost called Shenqi Nian, just like the innate Yin God known as Yama in the underworld of this world. Both were beings born from death. However, the innate Yin God in the underworld was born from the accumulation of tens or hundreds of billions of corpses, and he had the appearance of an emperor, while Zhao Tianpeng's origin was somewhat inferior.
But in essence, they are almost the same, both being beings born from the extreme of death. This also creates another characteristic of his Yellow Spring Spirit Body: when the death energy is extremely concentrated, it can give birth to even purer life essence.
"The balance of life and death transforms into the Sea of Wheels. This Sea of Wheels Secret Realm is perfect for me. Death energy is not a torment that damages the form and wears down the life for the Ghost Path, but rather a resource for self-improvement, not to mention this innate death energy that emerges from the root."
Zhao Tianpeng roughly knew where the focus of his path lay: the Wheel Sea Secret Realm, where life and death were in balance, and the Sendai Secret Realm, which specialized in cultivating divine consciousness and primordial spirit.
He began to comprehend the arrangement of the potential gates of the Yellow Springs Spirit Body itself. The arrangement of these gates outlines the original path of the Great Dao, which is the manifestation of the innate Great Dao of this constitution. This is also the foundation for him to walk the path of the ghost.
In the following period, he continued to comprehend the mysteries of his physique, while repeatedly exploring the profound meanings of several major imperial scriptures. He also found a ghost-path scripture from the innate ghost character and continuously refined the profound meanings that suited him, using the Yellow Spring Spirit Body as the core to hone his skills.
In this process, more and more doors were opened, and the Sea of Wheels expanded accordingly. The Sea of Bitterness had already been opened up to the size of a fist, with waves surging to the sky, divine light shining, thunder roaring, the Spring of Life gushing forth, and the source of divine power boiling and surging out incessantly, occasionally bursting forth with rays of light. This was a sign of divine power surging like a tide and light filling the sky; he had already reached the peak of the Spring of Life.
As he continued to comprehend the Emperor's Scripture and the mysteries of his physique, he quickly advanced his cultivation. A dim yellow divine rainbow hung high above, spanning the sky. It was a small section of divine vein. At this moment, he had already stepped into the Divine Bridge Realm. He only needed to extend this divine vein all the way to the other shore to break through to the Other Shore Realm.
"It's almost done; the outline of the scriptures for the Sea of Wheels Secret Realm will be ready soon."
A mystical path of light flashed through Zhao Tianpeng's eyes, with Dao intent condensing within them. Dao light flowed around him, and the faint sound of chanting scriptures could be heard, but upon closer listening, it sounded like the howling of ghosts and gods, or the babbling of a great demon.
Half a month later, all the strange phenomena around him disappeared.
"Guided by an unconventional perspective on enlightenment, and based on the Yellow Springs Spiritual Body, this scripture combines the mysteries of the Six Great Emperor Scriptures with the techniques of the Ghost Path, and has finally been created as the Wheel Sea Chapter."
"The foundation for the imperial path is now complete!"
"Although it cannot compare to the Emperor's Scripture, it is superior because it is perfectly suited to my Yellow Springs Spiritual Body. Moreover, it stands on the shoulders of predecessors and opens up a new path, which has its own mysteries."
"My scripture is based on the other shore in the sea of samsara, and now that the divine bridge is nearing completion, I will use this scripture to build the foundation of my imperial path!"
Zhao Tianpeng climbed to the top of the Divine Bridge in one breath. Just as he was about to cross the bridge to reach the other side, something unusual happened. His vision became blurry, and he could not see his surroundings clearly. It was as if he had entered a misty canyon and lost his way. Even his five senses began to blur.
"The calamity of being lost?"
The human body is full of endless mysteries. If cultivators do not want to be trapped in the sea of suffering, they must cultivate heavenly veins to cross the sea of suffering and explore other secret realms of the human body.
Therefore, the Divine Bridge is a very crucial hurdle. But as the Heavenly Vein grows and traverses the void, where exactly does it extend to reach the other shore? Once cultivators reach this point, they will be surrounded by endless fog of confusion in their hearts, unable to cross the sea of suffering. If they cannot see through the illusion, their five senses will be stripped away, their spiritual awareness will be lost, and they will become ignorant and insensible cripples.
Moreover, the higher a person's talent, the stronger the danger of being lost.
"Tsk, only a loser would be confused."
"There aren't that many illusions and delusions in the world of Shrouding the Heavens. If there are, it's just that people aren't tough enough and their fists aren't strong enough."
"As long as your fists are strong enough, you can have as much fun as you want, so why would you feel lost?"
Zhao Tianpeng looked at the endless fog around him with some disdain. This calamity of being lost could not stop him at all. In fact, if he wanted to, he could take a step out and see through the fog. But he fell into deep thought.
"The calamity of being lost, illusion, mental obstacles..."
"If this thing could be put to use..."
Zhao Tianpeng pondered for a moment, then searched through the innate ghost characters and quickly found what he wanted. He then transformed it into a natural mystical method from a unique perspective of enlightenment.
"The calamity of being lost can be used to my advantage!"
Zhao Tianpeng's hands traced mysterious trajectories, showering down streaks of dim, yellowish divine light. A suction force erupted from him, drawing in endless mist like a dragon sucking water, causing the Bitter Sea beneath the Divine Bridge Heavenly Vein to erupt violently.
The seawater mixed with the essence of life transformed into water columns that merged with the mist in his hands.
As his hands continued to trace patterns, the calamity of being lost suddenly contracted, completely merging with the seawater of the Bitter Sea and the vast amount of life essence, ultimately condensing into a Dao diagram in his hands. A turbid yellow river surged forth from an unknown place, and endless mist spread boundlessly with it.
If anyone could see his movements, they would surely exclaim in astonishment, "This child is terrifying!"
This is because he actually used a secret method to transform the calamity of being lost into a strange phenomenon!
"Immersed in the Yellow Springs, my heart is filled with confusion. Once this phenomenon unfolds, the Yellow Springs mist will gradually shroud my five senses, cloud my spiritual awareness, and cleanse my consciousness. If I cannot escape the phenomenon in time, my consciousness will be damaged and my primordial spirit will be diminished."
"In severe cases, their consciousness and memories will be completely wiped out, and their consciousness and memories will be arbitrarily fabricated to completely transform them into my shape."
"The greater the emotional vulnerability, the harder it is to overcome."
"This strange phenomenon is called the Yellow Springs Mystery."
