Chapter 118 (1/2)
By using soether, you can grasp objects, but soht, say time itself
Chen Chang Sheng spread his fingers, and Starlight seeped through
Froht that had descended upon his body, could it have been seeping through just like this?
The starting point of cultivation was to illuht for Purification; after countless years, countless cultivators had gone through this process, the brilliance that descended from a Fated Star, quietly transfor from your skin, hair, nails, all the way to your bones, flesh and inner organs; never had there been records of Starlight passing straight through the cultivator’s body
A cultivator’s body is not lass; neither is it made of water
Chen Chang Sheng ell-read in the Scripture of the Way, yet hadn’t seen any similar precedents mentioned Within the addendum of the Four Classics of Meditation however, he noticed a single passage, that passage noted a o, a Southerner died after ation by the local officials and sects, no cause of death could be found, they only noted that the victi Purification for 13 years in succession
He had practised medicine under Taoist Ji since he was a child and thus focused upon this medical case study’s additional details; he noticed that the author also mentioned the victie Failure) disease
The disease known as Leakage Failure was caused by an in-born deficiency in blood and qi, causing weakness; what did this have to do with exploding?
Chen Chang Sheng speculated on this passage, this bizarre case study, and upon co it with his own body’s situation, he ca and preposterous hypothesis
The Southerner who had died froe Failure disease, this was actually just souided Starlight to Purify, the descending Starlight did not transform his skin or hair, but had shone past his skin and directly entered the deepest reaches of his body
That person had attempted Purification for 13 years, it could be sure quantity of Star Brilliance had accumulated within his body and that due to so could already faintly see an inkling of, the accumulated Star Brilliance had suddenly erupted
This hypothesis had soht go past the skin? But upon closer consideration, whilst cultivating, a roof or clothing could do nothing to hinder the connection between the cultivator and their Fated Star, and couldn’t obstruct Starlight, therefore; on what basis could it be concluded that Starlight couldn’t go past the skin and directly enter the body?
Not to mention, if this was an impossibility, then ould the Orthodoxy’s virtuous forebears, froh the trouble of carefully noting down this medical case study within the addendum of the Four Classics of Meditation?
Chen Chang Sheng dared to make such a hypothesis because he had encountered a lot of difficult questions on his path to cultivation The fact that he could illu suitably vast and powerful; logic would dictate that his cultivation should be successful, yet who could have predicted that it would instead stall at the stage of Purification and continue to do so for half a year
Even if it was due to hisdifferent, which made it impossible to Purify in the sao to? Did it just dissipate without a trace?
No, this was sohts doing this, he had long started to suspect so; this was unreasonable If it could be said that Heaven’s Way rewarded diligence, then who could coh of course, if Heaven’s Way was unfair, then he had nothing else he could say, but at this moment in tiuiding Starlight to undergo Purification, he had fulfilled the requireht
Yet, even an expert such as Jin Yu Lu, couldn’t sense any traces of Inner Essence froht was really contained within his body, then where would it be? Hoas he to find its location and then make use of it?
Just as how one would seek their Fated Star, if you wanted to inquire the state your own body, you are your own best observer
Chen Chang Sheng are of the method
That method was Meditation
Cultivation required the illumination of a Fated Star, then Purification, then meditative introspection This sequence was immutable; any transpositions would cause either injury or death without exception Countless years ago, there were cultivators that attee new methods, but now, no one dared to try such a reckless endeavour
Huth, was the weakest out of the three races of demon, yao and human To directly attemptPurification; ignoring the criteria of ensuring your h to endure the ht, was akin to seeking death itself
