After Zhao Fujin finished reciting the mantra of Harmonize with the Light and Dust.
Chen Mo was taken aback, and then said, "Senior Sister, is there a difference between a Heart Method and a Cultivation Technique?"
"Yes." Zhao Fujin gently curled a lock of hair on her forehead with her fingers and said slowly, "According to the master, a Heart Method is a Daoist Technique. Cultivating it to a certain extent allows one to remain calm at all times, neither happy nor sad, unaffected by external factors, and can also strengthen one's spirit, letting the soul leave the physical body.
Moreover, it is essential if you wish to cultivate Daoism to the Mental Realm..."
Zhao Fujin said a lot. In simple terms, a Heart Method is a kind of auxiliary Technique. In battle, it can allow a person's heart to be as still as water.
When fleeing, it can make one faster and untraceable.
It keeps one from being trapped in an Illusion Realm.
It also speeds up the cultivation process.
And Harmonize with the Light and Dust is the supreme Heart Method of the Shenxiao Sect, with the effect of invisibility, able to block all of one's aura. Through the addition of this Heart Method, it can also achieve the effect of short-distance Shifting Form and Position.
"Shifting Form and Position..."
Imagining Lin Su Ya swiftly appearing in another location from where she was, this kind of method made Chen Mo yearn for it.
Then he asked, "Senior Sister, what level do you need to cultivate Harmonize with the Light and Dust to achieve the effect of Shifting Form and Position?"
"Body Cultivation and Cultivating the Heart aren't sequential, they can occur simultaneously. Body Cultivation is about strengthening the physique, allowing the heart, qi, and spirit to unite as one. To reach the level of Shifting Form and Position, you need to cultivate Harmonize with the Light and Dust to a transcendent level and attain a Martial Arts Realm of Fifth Grade." Zhao Fujin said.
"And what about you, Senior Sister?" Chen Mo knew that Zhao Fujin's strength was above Sixth Grade.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Fujin blushed slightly, stuck out her tongue, and said, "The master says I am naturally playful and haven't comprehended Dao sufficiently to reach that level of transcendence yet."
Chen Mo nodded secretly.
"Alright, I've told you the Heart Method, next you will cultivate the heart with me."
As she spoke, Zhao Fujin tapped the tip of her feet and leapt onto a green bamboo.
The green bamboo bent instantly to about 70 degrees, and Zhao Fujin's entire aura suddenly changed. An invisible wave of energy swept open, then Zhao Fujin sat cross-legged on this bent green bamboo, with her palms open flat, placed in front of her abdomen, palms facing each other, eyes looking at Chen Mo below:
"Come, learn from me, inhale, let the qi circulate around your chest once, then exhale slowly..."
Zhao Fujin spoke very in detail.
She taught with great dedication.
Chen Mo sat cross-legged on the ground, following Zhao Fujin's method, slowly beginning to operate Harmonize with the Light and Dust.
Like learning, having someone to guide you, asking if you don't understand, your knowledge will only grow more and more.
Sitting behind closed doors will only narrow your perspective.
Under Zhao Fujin's guidance, and with Chen Mo now having accumulated five Golden Talents, his comprehension was naturally astounding. Before long, he was immersed in it.
The gentle breeze in the surrounding heaven and earth also moved rhythmically, circling around Zhao Fujin and Chen Mo.
Strands of faint white gas also flowed into their bodies.
Chen Mo felt his inner self being cleansed.
Above, Zhao Fujin's beautiful eyes flickered, with a hint of surprise appearing in them!
The moonlight gradually faded.
Chen Mo, however, still sat quietly, cross-legged like a rock, unmoved.
Yet deep within Chen Mo's body.
There was an extreme excitement.
In cultivating the heart, he could multitask.
In that case.
While cultivating at night, he could also begin simulating.
The time he had for simulation increased, and he could better extract Golden Talents.
While cultivating the heart, Chen Mo began simulating.
[Available Talents to Choose Now: Heaven and Earth Lose Color, High Emotional Intelligence, Dragon Spirit and Tiger Fierce…]
[Please choose up to three of the above talents and begin Immortal Cultivation Simulation.]
[Heaven and Earth Lose Color (Golden): Release Pure True Qi to cover the surroundings, causing objects in the area to lose life, those covered in this area will have dulled senses, weak strength, and lose perception and mobility.]
[High Emotional Intelligence (Blue): Makes people more articulate, easily gaining the favor of others.]
[Dragon Spirit and Tiger Fierce (Purple): Energetic, increases endurance.]
Chen Mo planned to simulate the scenario where he lived the longest again.
That is, the one where he conquered the Empress.
To see if, after forty-two days, he changed, and if he could change his fate.
[Day 1: The great turmoil arrives, uprisings spread across the Great Song Imperial Dynasty, the sky is dead, the yellow sky shall rise. You are in the Imperial Palace, the safest place in Great Song.
Because you preemptively cultivated the Feather Nirvana Heart Scripture, Emperor's Divine Sealing Skill, Thunder Jade Scripture, and Harmonize with the Light and Dust, you became an Eighth Grade Martial Artist, again gaining the Empress's favor, promoting you to a First-Class Eunuch.
But the Empress doesn't know that you are already a Sixth Grade Martial Artist.]
…
[Day 4: You made a serving of tangyuan for the Empress and explained the meaning of the tangyuan to her, once again gaining the Empress's trust and favor.
That day, the Empress had you accompany her in her practice again and afterwards had you massage her muscles and bones.]
[Day 5: News of the rebellion reached Bianliang, the Capital was shocked, the Emperor was furious, executed several, and immediately dispatched the army to suppress it.
The Empress, having been wronged by the Emperor, had you make a bowl of red bean porridge for her at just the right time. Seeing the porridge, the Empress confided in you her troubles and asked you to tell her love stories.
You did as she asked, earning a large amount of the Empress's favor, instantly becoming the Empress's favorite, receiving more favor than Wang Ying.
Wang Ying grew jealous of you but expressed goodwill towards you.]
...
[Day 8: The Empress's Tian Kui arrived, requiring companionship, but the Emperor had no time due to the rebellion.
You made a bowl of brown sugar water for the Empress, once again earning her favor.
That evening, you told the Empress stories all night.]
[Day 9: You rose quickly, directly promoted to Senior Sixth Grade Eunuch.]
[Day 10: Seeing the Emperor busy with state affairs, unable to rest, the Empress wanted to help him but was once again wronged by his statement that the Harem should not interfere in state affairs.
That night, you said many comforting words to the Empress, and that night, you broke through to Fifth Grade Martial Artist.]
...
[Day 15: Your relationship with Fu Mao Empress progressed rapidly, even daring to pinch her face when no one was around.]
...
[Day 25: You broke through to Fourth Grade Martial Artist, you could already counter-control the Empress, but you chose not to do so because you wanted to capture her heart and body.
At this moment, the Empress was confiding some of her thoughts to you. That night you told her you were a Sixth Grade Martial Artist.]
[Day 30: The rebellion in the Great Song Imperial Dynasty intensified, the largest two main rebel armies being the Yellow Turban Bandits led by Zhang Jiao and Zhang Lu's Five Bushels of Rice Daoist followers. Additionally, bandits and brigands proliferated everywhere.
The total number of rebels reached ten million in total, and the Central Army of the court was exhausted, beginning to deploy their trump cards, First Grade masters to take part in the battle.]
