Chapter 298: The divine consciousness proves the Tao


    What kind of foundation should be built?


    Ink painting never considered this issue, so he asked:


    "Is there any difference between foundation building and foundation building?"


    "Monks are very different from monks, so foundation building is naturally different."


    Mr. Zhuang then explained:


    "The foundation of a monk depends on spiritual consciousness, spiritual power and physical body."


    "The sea of ??consciousness, qi, and physical bodies born from the innate world are different. The practices and Taoist methods they practice are also diverse. Different choices will naturally be different."


    Ink painting is a little worried.


    He originally thought that it would be good to build a foundation, but he didn''t expect that there would be so many things to do when building a foundation, and he actually had to choose to build something.


    But he had never considered these things before and didn''t know what to do for the moment.


    "Sir, can''t this be calculated every step?" Mo Hua whispered.


    Mr. Zhuang said: "A monk practices Taoism by refining qi and cultivating the foundation, laying the road, and step by step. You need to consider what path you want to take and what path you want to practice. It will be very difficult to change the course later."


    Mo Hua paused and asked weakly, "Sir, what is better for me to practice like this?"


    Mr. Zhuang looked at the ink painting and said bluntly:


    "Your physical body is not good, your spiritual roots are not good, actually."


    Although Mo Hua knew the innate body and the mean of spiritual roots, he still felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Mr. Zhuang say this, so he asked tentatively:


    “Is it really that bad?”


    He thought it was okay, at least the spiritual roots were still relatively low.


    Mr. Zhuang saw Mo Hua''s big watery eyes, and he couldn''t bear to say it.


    "It''s not bad either..." Mr. Zhuang said tactfully, "It''s just that the potential is great!"


    Mo Hua was stunned and her expression became complicated.


    Mr. Zhuang''s words are indeed very tactful...


    There is great potential in the future, which means that you have poor abilities now...


    "Then I may have any advantages in body refining or spiritual power in the future?" Mo Hua still had a little expectation.


    Mr. Zhuang touched his chin, "It depends on whom he compares with."


    “How do you say it?”


    Mr. Zhuang said: "First of all, you are a middle and lower-level spiritual root, which seems pretty good, but this is compared with the casual cultivators in Tongxian City. If you compare with family cultivators, sects, and especially those of the third and fourth ranks or above, you will be out of the ordinary."


    Mo Hua nodded, which is indeed true.


    The spiritual roots of some aristocratic families and sect disciples are indeed much better than him.


    "Do you know the inheritance of spiritual roots?" Mr. Zhuang asked.


    "Yes." Mo Hua nodded.


    He heard from An Xiaofu that couples have different spiritual roots, and there are rules to follow when giving birth to children, which is the inheritance of spiritual roots and grades.


    Mr. Zhuang said: "More than 20,000 years ago, the Daoting Court was first established. The top-grade spiritual roots are indeed extremely rare. Even the top-grade and lower-grade spiritual roots will be highly valued and cultivated..."


    "But since some aristocratic families discovered that spiritual roots are heritable and this inheritance is controllable, all aristocratic families and sects have followed this principle and married the children of the family."


    "It is precisely because of this that there are many high-grade spiritual roots in all larger aristocratic sects, and the upper and lower levels are no longer rare spiritual roots."


    Mr. Zhuang took a silent look at the ink painting again without saying a word.


    The top-grade and lower-grade are not rare spiritual roots, let alone the middle-grade and lower-grade ink painting?


    The middle-grade and lower-grade level are better than the top-grade mid-grade level, but there are still three thresholds.


    Mr. Zhuang was very considerate and didn''t say it out. But Mo Hua understood what Mr. Zhuang meant, and couldn''t help but hang his head and sighed.


    Mr. Zhuang said before he finished speaking:


    "This is just compared to ordinary disciples of the aristocratic sects. If you compare with the pride of heaven among them, you will be even bigger."


    "If you don''t say it far away, just like Zisheng and Zixi, your talent in your physical body and spiritual roots is different from them."


    "Is the gap really that big?" Mo Hua asked quietly.


    Mr. Zhuang hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth, "The gap is not really that big, it is actually bigger than what I said..."


    Ink painting was shocked.


    He didn''t know that Zisheng and Zixi''s talent was so high?


    Or is his talent so low?


    Mo Hua thought of Mr. Zhuang’s previous statements about “the way of heaven” and “spiritual consciousness” and said:


    "Then do I major in spiritual consciousness?"


    Mr. Zhuang nodded and said, "Yes, since the physical body and spiritual roots cannot compare with others, then you can''t compare with your spiritual consciousness."


    "Your physical body and spiritual roots are weaker than you think, but your spiritual consciousness is actually stronger than you think."


    Mr. Zhuang looked at the ink painting and said silently in his heart: "It is even possible that it will be much better than I thought..."


    Mo Hua didn''t know what Mr. Zhuang was thinking, but he was still a little confused about his own physical body and spiritual roots, and asked:


    "Then can the problems with my physical body and spiritual roots be improved?"


    Mr. Zhuang shook his head slightly and said:


    "Weakness is a congenital problem. It can be improved, but no matter how much it improves, it cannot be changed. At most, after improvement, the body will not be that weak, but it will not be much stronger. It is incomparable to monks who are born to refine their bodies and roots and bones."


    "The spiritual root is even more destined to be born with. If you are born with spiritual roots, you will be a spiritual root in your life. If you cannot change it, this is worse than others, that is worse than others, and there is no other good way."


    "So, you will be the main focus of whatever you are strong, and you will play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. Is that true?" Mo Hua said.


    Mr. Zhuang nodded, "The spiritual consciousness, spiritual power and physical body are the foundation of the cultivator''s practice. All three are indispensable. However, the heavenly way is harsh and human talent is limited, so it is impossible to cover everything. Practicing the Tao does not require you to be better than others in everything. It is better if you can practice the same thing to the depth."


    Mo Hua nodded, feeling her thoughts suddenly clear, and then she said curiously:


    "Is there anyone who is well-rounded?"


    Mr. Zhuang was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Yes, but there are very few such talented people. Looking at the entire world of Taoism, it is also a peerless talent that has never been seen in a thousand years!"


    Mo Hua is a little envious, but I will forget it if I think about it.


    You don’t need to think about it. If you practice spiritual consciousness, spiritual power and physical body, you need to offer extremely profound inheritance of Taoism, extremely rich spiritual stone resources, and extremely precious spiritual objects in the world.


    He has such a peerless talent, without inheritance and resources, and is just a pearl covered with dust and a waste of qualifications.


    You should not be too greedy in life, it is good for him to cultivate spiritual consciousness.


    But can you really achieve the great way if you major in spiritual consciousness? And he seemed to have never heard of any monk who majored in spiritual consciousness.


    Mo Hua thought for a while and asked, "Sir, are there any other monks who majored in spiritual consciousness?"


    "rare."


    “How many are there?”


    Mr. Zhuang said, "Normal cultivators will not cultivate spiritual consciousness."


    Mo Hua was stunned and was in a complicated mood. So is he a "abnormal" monk...


    Mr. Zhuang smiled, "The physical body and spiritual power are obviously strong, the spiritual consciousness is obscure, and the spiritual consciousness is nothing and elusive. Except for some formation masters, who must have powerful spiritual consciousness due to the needs of formation, so they have to major in spiritual consciousness, other cultivators rarely choose this path."


    "That''s it..." Mo Hua sighed slightly.


    Mr. Zhuang''s eyes were slightly condensed, "But you are different. You are weak in nature and have a fair spiritual root. Your spiritual consciousness is almost your only strength, and you are too strong..."


    "Since that''s the case, then you will cultivate your spiritual consciousness to the extreme, so that other monks can''t reach or even be afraid..."


    Mr. Zhuang looked at the small ink painting and said with a deep look:


    "As long as you cultivate your spiritual consciousness strong enough, one day, you can realize the Tao and rely on your supreme spiritual consciousness to see the true meaning of the great way!"
