With this thought in his mind, Meng Zhou slowly entered samadhi.

Soon, he regained the feeling of being overflowing with water.

Then, he took a small step forward.

The Hanji body and Shengji mana, which had reached their full state, broke through a small barrier at the same time and stepped into a whole new level.

Whether it is the power of Qi, blood or mana, they are quietly transforming.

The mana filled in the meridians, so rich that it was half atomized, began to turn into liquid drop by drop and fell into the meridians.

At first, it was just a drop or two, scattered into dots.

Soon, there were more and more, and it became a trend, like a rain cloud pouring down the meridians.

The transformation of Qi and blood scattered throughout the body is more obscure and silent.

His body seemed to have turned into a giant gluttonous mouth, and the rich spiritual energy around him was continuously sucked into his body.

Then, the magic power and qi and blood power that completed the transformation circulated in the meridians and body. After entering the head area, a strange obstacle was felt.

This obstacle is not somewhere specific in the mind, but somewhere between reality and reality.

Until the power of mana and blood completes its transformation, its existence cannot be felt.

Now, he finally felt it clearly.

Meng Zhou tried using magic power and qi and blood power respectively, and felt that the obstacle was slippery. With his control over magic power and qi and blood, it was difficult to fully use his strength.

However, when he controlled these two forces at the same time, they turned into two rotating spikes, pushing forward from two different directions.

That layer of slippery obstacles no longer had any room for maneuver and was easily overcome.

The two forces did not stop, but instead used their full strength to attack the depths of the obstacle that had been broken.

Just like the creation of heaven and earth, Meng Zhou forcibly opened up the emptiness of the sea of ​​consciousness in his mind, the place of existence and non-existence.

This is the newly opened original sea of ​​consciousness, with no sky and no earth, only a void.

With the successful opening of the original sea of ​​consciousness, Meng Zhou's soul manifested.

At first it was just a faint shadow, and then it gradually became clear, turning into an ordinary-looking young man.

Wearing a homely set of shorts and shorts, with his eyes slightly closed, he stood casually in the center of the sea of ​​primordial consciousness.

This is Meng Zhou's soul image, the initial image of his subconscious self-recognition.

Before a practitioner opens up the sea of ​​consciousness, there is no clear soul.

Soul and flesh and blood live together in the same room. The spirit and body influence each other and are entangled with each other, making them inevitably mixed and impure.

It was not until the sea of ​​consciousness opened up that the soul had the basis to become independent from the flesh and blood.

For ordinary monks, after passing the barrier and building the foundation, it is considered complete and can be over.

The mana transforms, breaking through obstacles, opening up the original sea of ​​consciousness, peeling off the soul and flesh and blood, successfully settling in the sea of ​​consciousness, and stimulating the power of divine consciousness.

In most foundation building notes, completing this step is complete and you can leave and have a celebration banquet.

In Meng Zhou's opinion, this step was very easy, with almost no obstacles.

But for ordinary monks, every step is extremely difficult.

In some cases, even the step of mana transformation cannot be completed independently, and must be assisted by external objects such as foundation-building pills.

There are many people who can no longer hold on even halfway through the journey. Even if they insist on taking this last step, they are already exhausted and mentally exhausted.

But for Meng Zhou, this was just the beginning of his real foundation building.

Meng Zhou saw such words in a travel note.

In the eyes of seekers, real foundation building is not at all what ordinary monks think.

Building the foundation of the road has not laid the seeds of the road. Calling yourself "building the foundation" is just putting gold on your own face.

Meng Zhou didn't know what the so-called "Seeds of the Great Path" were, but based on other notes, experiences, and his own thinking and accumulation, Meng Zhou had a set of ideas in his mind.

At this moment, he was focusing all his energy on the "Blooming Pole", the "Cold Pole", and the complete system that included these two poles and circulated between them.

Meng Zhou's thoughts were completely immersed in this cyclical system centered on the bipolar poles.

Gradually, he separated them from the tangible and returned them to pure concepts.

【Nurture and grow, a hotbed of vitality.】

【Flow cycle, back and forth.】

【The sea embraces all rivers and embraces all things.】

[Cold and hot nature, innate. 】

The four properties of water with infinite potential constitute the original framework system. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can unearth almost endless treasures.

But if you go one level higher, you can find that these "four properties of water" are all extracted from objectivity, reality, and rationality, and they all stay at the level of "discussing things based on facts."

To put it more bluntly, it is "too reasonable".

It lacks a more subjective and metaphysical refinement.

And this, for practitioners, is actually even more important.

It is the core, it clarifies the direction of the great road, it is the general outline of the fundamental law, it is the source, and it is the program.

And this is a natural fit with the soul.

Meng Zhou had already had clear thoughts on this.

[The best and most virtuous, be weak and don’t fight]

For people who don't understand, they may think this is a waste.

But let Meng Zhou comment that if the Tao is tangible, there is nothing more consistent with the Tao than this.

Meng Zhou believed in this unwaveringly.

Believe in it, believe in it——

The true nature of Meng Zhou's soul, which was just separated from the flesh and blood body, the initial image of self-recognition from the previous life, began to melt quickly like hot wax and turned into a puddle of water.

A pool of clear water that exists in the sea of ​​consciousness.

As his soul turned into water, the framework system that originally only circulated between the two poles of "jing" and "qi" underwent fundamental changes.

The two poles of "jing" and "qi" turn into the three poles of "jing", "qi" and "spirit".

The new three poles are contained in a system that is constantly changing, yet extremely balanced and stable.

The qi and blood of "jing", the magic power of "qi", and the consciousness of "god", these three forces circulate and chase each other.

As this system was reshaped, in the sea of ​​consciousness, the water surface of Meng Zhou's soul was like a mirror, reflecting the changes in it from time to time.

Through this "water surface", Meng Zhou can easily grasp the overall changes and make accurate adjustments.

With a thought, every detail can be accurately displayed on the water.

All this is a long story, but a short period of time has passed since Meng Zhou opened up the original sea of ​​consciousness and manifested his soul.

In this short moment, he completed the most important task of building the foundation, that is, further perfecting the overall framework of practice.

And take advantage of the breakthrough and complete the reshaping before everything is stable.

Only during this window period can all this be as easy as kneading mud.

At another time, if you want to change the soul into another shape and complete the three-pole linkage of essence, energy and spirit, that would be even more difficult than reaching the sky!

You must have no idea how many times I went through this plot over and over, and how many words I wasted, at least 20,000!

There is only one reason. It was too confusing at first, and it included too many new settings.

The first edition, just for opening up the sea of ​​knowledge, created a completely new way of opening up, and wrote nearly 10,000 words. I almost got myself involved in it, and when I scratched my head, I was like, fuck, this is just too much for me.

I scrapped everything and started over again. I did subtractions along the way. After doing it several times, I just managed to squeeze out this edition. There are still several thousand words in the back that I planned to scrap and start over. That’s why this chapter is so strange that it has 4800 words.

word count.

Before writing this plot, I never thought there was any problem with it. It wasn’t until I actually wrote it that I realized what the problem was.

The setting of the exercise system can be a highlight, but if it turns into an obscure, brain-consuming and lengthy document, it will only be annoying.

Now, I think it is smarter to write all the breakthroughs in one stroke. For innovation, just focus on the name of the realm or the name of the exercise, which is simple and easy.

It is thankless for me to do this, and it is really difficult to completely justify it. There may be fatal bugs. The more ink I put on it, the greater the possibility.
Chapter completed!
