Take a sip, the taste is mellow, and an extremely wonderful feeling arises in the consciousness. The state of mind is extremely peaceful, and you can quietly appreciate the beauty.

a long time.

"Lin Yan, your mood seems to have changed somewhat." Hong said with a smile.

The God of Thunder couldn't help but said: "Could it be that you have entered the second level of mind cultivation, 'the unity of heaven and man, the heart of an innocent child'?"

"That's right." Lin Yan's eyes were clear, he put down the tea cup in his hand, and chuckled, "After thinking about some things, he naturally reached the second level."

…

Cultivate the three realms of mind.

The first level is to understand the mind and see the nature, directly pointing to the original heart. In many Buddhist classics and Taoist classics, it is regarded as a manifestation of "attaining the Tao".

The second level is the unity of nature and man, and the heart of an innocent child. This is already considered the pinnacle of theory, and the state of mind is perfect. Countless famous figures in Chinese civilization can achieve the unity of nature and man, and they can all be called sages of ancient times.

The third level is that the heart is infinite and can accommodate everything. Except for Hong, it is unknown whether anyone in the history of ancient Chinese culture can achieve this.

In fact, there is no distinction between these three realms. There is only a big gap in resistance to coercion, illusions, soul attacks and many other aspects.

Similar to the skill aspect, it has an amplitude effect, which can increase the resistance ability ten times, a hundred times, or even a hundred times a thousand times.

As early as a long time ago, when he reached the limit of "clear mind and nature", he vaguely touched the perfect state of mind of the unity of nature and man, and understood the principle of "unity of yin and yang".

If you want, you can easily reach this state.

But, he doesn't want to.

Because these are three paths, that is, one choice.

You have chosen this principle and entered this state of mind, which also shapes your personality, so "thinking" or "not wanting" is very important.

If you don't agree with it in your heart, it is naturally impossible to enter this state.

Compared with "the unity of nature and man", Lin Yan is still more passionate about the principle of "man" and wants to stick to his original intention of "man can conquer nature".

But--

While practicing "The Illusion of Heavenly Demon", he came into contact with another truth.

Cultivation of the mind depends entirely on one intention.

"Knowing one's mind and seeing one's nature" is to find the "self". The self is innate and is the basis of personality structure. It has strong primitive impulse power. It represents desire and has an irrational side.

"Unity of man and nature" is the awakening of the "self". The self follows the principle of reality, regulates the thoughts in the mind and the thoughts in the external world, and is located in the middle layer of the personality structure.

"The heart is infinite" forms the "superego". The superego is the moral self. It follows moral principles and has three functions. One is to suppress the impulse of the ego, the other is to monitor the self, and the third is to pursue a perfect state.

.

It is located at the highest level of the personality structure and stands opposite to the "id". Due to the conflict with the object, the superego tends to stand in opposition to the original desires of the "id".

"Seeing the nature clearly" can touch upon the principle of "unity of yin and yang", but it cannot directly cross over to "tolerance of everything".

These are three paths.

But from the perspective of "The Illusion of the Demon", if these three points cannot be handled well, the illusionist's illusions will always be flawed.

And it is almost impossible to achieve this.

Because these three kinds of thoughts collide and cannot reach the extreme, it will cause internal damage, that is, the will will not be firm, and the state of mind will be completely flawed.

But there is a possibility from "The Fantasy of Demons".

This kind of illusion is not just for people, but more for realizing one's own enlightenment and essentially transforming the extremely mysterious "state of mind".

This is an illusion cast on oneself.

When you believe what kind of person you are, you will be what kind of person you are. Only to this extent can you reach the highest realm of the illusionist - everything is false and everything is true.

This is a very mysterious and terrifying state.

The road of illusionist is actually very difficult to follow, because for those truly ancient and powerful people, they have a strong will and a strong mentality, so it is extremely difficult to defeat them.

If you want to go to the extreme, you have to do it to the extreme.

If Lin Yan only "clearly understands the mind and nature", then he can only learn the "first volume" of "The Fantasy of Heavenly Demon" and cannot pry into the more advanced "middle volume" and "last volume", because it is impossible for him to master it.

And if you are in the realm of "Hong", you can learn "The Illusion of Heavenly Demon", but you cannot practice the illusion skills in the first two volumes to the extreme. Only the second volume has the possibility of reaching the extreme.

The highest realm pursued in "The Fantasy Realm of Heavenly Demon" is called - "The Great Transformation of Heavenly Demon"!

It is the "greater self" that is different from the "id, ego, and superego" and is the highest "self" that reaches the state of freedom!

In the past thirty years, he has been exploring this point, and now he has finally glimpsed the door. In just one thought, he can achieve the state of "unity of nature and man"!

The ability to withstand pressure, illusions, soul attacks, etc. is ten times greater than before!

This is just a "first glimpse", and it is still extremely far away from reaching the ultimate "unity of nature and man".

The reason why he was able to achieve this in just thirty years is firstly due to the fact that his own spiritual realm has already reached this critical point, and secondly, because "cultivation of the mind" is different from other cultivations, and it is different from the years of cultivation.

It doesn't matter much.

For some warriors, it would take at least tens of thousands of years to cultivate to the point of becoming an immortal god. Some even spend their entire lives unable to break through that level.

In terms of cultivating the mind, one can reach the highest level in just a few decades. After all, the lifespans of the saints in ancient China only lasted a few decades.

30 years!

In the past 30 years, Lin Yan has made great progress in understanding the laws. He has already approached the ability of the 16th level of Tongtian Bridge. He has also been practicing the secret method of "Demon Illusion" in an orderly manner, but it is not enough to "parasitize" Immortal Moyun.

The degree of vine.

But in terms of state of mind, it has reached another level.
