Chapter 899: Chapter 478: 8th Life: Refining Heart Through Martial Arts, Only I Cultivation Method!

"Practicing martial arts is essentially refining the heart."

"We cultivators are mere passersby struggling across the mundane world, with the flesh body as the boat and the soul as the guide."

"As long as your will is resolute enough, the entire world will clear the path for you!"

Dharma Transmission Hall.

An aged and resonant voice echoed from above the hall, resonating in the ears of every Outer Disciple.

"Does practicing martial arts begin with refining the heart?"

Lu Yuan nodded slightly, agreeing with this sentiment as well.

The body is the vessel for the soul.

If one’s will is not firm, no matter how high your cultivation, how strong your physique, you will ultimately fall under the Celestial Tribulation.

Why do those reincarnated powerhouses, despite losing all cultivation, manage to rise rapidly in a short time?

Besides their experiences from past lives.

The most crucial point is that their will is exceedingly steadfast.

Even if faced with blades and axes, struck by heavenly lightning, nothing can thwart their pursuit of the Dao!

"From this perspective, the Idealist Martial Dao in this realm does have merit."

Lu Yuan pondered silently.

"Elder, may I ask how to refine the heart?"

One Outer Disciple couldn’t help but ask.

Although Body Refining is arduous, they only need to follow along, diligently practicing Martial Techniques, to temper their bones and muscles to an invincible level.

But the will of the soul is elusive, without a trace to follow.

Without guidance, many Outer Disciples might be clueless about where to start.

"That’s a good question."

The black-robed Elder, seated above the hall, upon hearing the disciple’s question, immediately nodded in approval.

"Refining the heart means seeing one’s true heart and understanding one’s nature amidst myriad difficulties, firming your Martial Dao Will."

"Even if the world insults me, belittles me, laughs at me, mocks me, blocks me, I remain unchanged in my original aspiration, still wholeheartedly pursuing the Dao."

"For example, Elder Sun Xiao, who practices Joyful Zen, though a man in form, possesses the heart of a maiden."

"He absorbs Yang to replenish Yang, offering himself to the world, and has now reached the realm of Yin-Yang Unity, indistinguishable between male and female."

"If he can progress further, he may achieve Nirvana Rebirth, attaining Great Joy, Great Happiness, and Great Freedom amidst the mundane world."

The black-robed Elder spoke lightly, with a genuine hint of admiration in his words.

"Yin-Yang Unity, offering the flesh body?"

Lu Yuan listened, his eyelids twitching, feeling a wave of chills in his heart.

Though he knew the world’s rules are chaotic, surely many are eccentric, never before had he seen one as peculiar as Sun Xiao.

Upon hearing these words, the Outer Disciples also erupted with quite a commotion.

But the black-robed Elder remained oblivious, continuing to speak self-absorbedly.

"At the start of your pursuit of the Dao, you will certainly face many doubts and ridicule."

"Such idle words and cold mockery can do great harm, like the Devil’s whispers, easily undermining your Dao heart."

"To ensure your faith is unwavering, unaffected by idle words, today, I will teach you the Only I Cultivation Method."

Only I Cultivation Method?

Upon hearing this.

Not only did the Outer Disciples, but even Lu Yuan’s curiosity was piqued.

He had heard of Materialist Dialectics, Idealist Dialectics.

But this Only I Cultivation Method was new to him.

And judging by the black-robed Elder’s tone, it was clear that he held this Only I Cultivation Method in high esteem, believing in it wholeheartedly.

As if in his eyes, this method was mightier than any peerless Cultivation Technique.

Under the eager gaze of everyone.

The black-robed Elder coughed twice, clearing his throat before continuing.

"Buddha says there’s no fixed method for the Dharma, no inherent good or bad; creation, existence, destruction, and emptiness are all within a single thought."

"Whether a thing is good or bad depends on how you perceive it."

Seeing the puzzled expressions of many disciples, the black-robed Elder couldn’t help but shake his head.

To help everyone understand more easily, he looked around and selected two Outer Disciples from the crowd.

"You two, step up onto the high platform in the hall."

Seeing these two disciples, Lu Yuan furrowed his brows, puzzled by the Elder’s intentions.

Because one Outer Disciple was tall and impressive, dressed in brocade garments.

Simply standing there projected an incredibly strong air of confidence, clearly from a wealthy family.

The other Outer Disciple was short in stature, wearing ragged clothes, his demeanor nervous and unnatural, eyes timid, avoiding eye contact.

This person was evidently from a secluded village, and despite notable talent for cultivation, he hadn’t shed his rustic demeanor.

Standing on the high platform, feeling the unusual gazes from everyone, he bowed his head, extremely embarrassed, his dark face red as a beet.

Wishing the ground would crack open for him to hide.

Meanwhile, the disciple in brocade appeared calm and composed, unaffected by the crowd’s gaze, handling it all with ease.

"Elder, what is your intention?"

Other Outer Disciples, witnessing this, couldn’t resist asking out of curiosity.

"Look at their appearances and demeanor, who truly stands out?"

"Don’t worry about anything, just express your thoughts truthfully."

The black-robed Elder, changing his tone, suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this question, other Outer Disciples were puzzled.

Is there even a need to ask?

These two, just standing side by side, clearly speak for themselves.

From every angle, surely the disciple in brocade outshines.

"Reporting to Elder, as far as I can see, the brocade disciple is evidently superior."

A straightforward Outer Disciple commented.

But the black-robed Elder chuckled and shook his head, "Not necessarily."
