Swallowing the Stars: Shocking! The Giant Axe Wants to Become My Apprentice

Chapter 377 Reflections of Venerable Qianwu after Entering the Mindset

Chapter 377 Reflections of Venerable Qianwu after Entering the Mindset

Day and night cycle.

In the Holy Master's Mansion of Chaos City, Zhou Ze slightly opened his eyes, sighing inwardly, "Luo Feng is constantly experiencing pain and torment from the depths of his soul. All his techniques are useless; the only thing he can do is endure it—"

There are three levels of self-cultivation. The first level is to foolishly and stubbornly stick to one's original intention. There are no techniques, only one move: "stick to one's original intention" and withstand all impacts.

The second level requires skill; one must be firm when necessary and gentle when appropriate, achieving a balance between the two.

The third level is having a heart that embraces everything.

Although Zhou Ze had different understandings of mental cultivation after creating the "Mental Cultivation Method," he acknowledged the first level of mental cultivation.

The first level of mindset is also a fundamental skill.

The greatest truths are the simplest. If you want to improve your will, you can't avoid facing pain. But how much power your improved will can unleash after going through the same hardships depends on your level of understanding.

The higher the level of one's will, the greater its effect will be.

But ultimately, it still requires strengthening one's will.

There are no shortcuts to improving one's willpower.

"Compared to Luo Feng, or even to almost all the strong individuals in the universe, I have undergone far less rigorous training."

During this time, Zhou Ze not only created his own secret techniques but also experienced Luo Feng's inner torment, from which he benefited greatly.

He was aware of his shortcomings and deficiencies.

"I can only hone my willpower when I enter the outer reaches of space later."

"We still need to lay a solid foundation. A solid foundation is the most important thing. In this cosmic sea, the True God level is almost at the top, but in the Origin Continent, the True God is just the beginning."

Zhou Ze pondered for a moment, then recalled the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual: "This is ridiculous! Luo Feng already possesses invincible strength to become a King, and he's already gone to receive the Star Tower's inheritance, yet he still hasn't obtained the second Heavenly Soul Crystal—"

Zhou Ze was somewhat frustrated. He was waiting for Luo Feng to find the second Heavenly Soul Crystal. The Nine Tribulations Manual was not only important to Luo Feng, but also to him.

Once he learns the second level, his genes will undergo another transformation, increasing by 900 times. This will not only greatly increase his strength, but more importantly, it will significantly increase the upper limit and conversion speed of his primordial power!

Moreover, the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, with its unique method of simulating an inner universe within the body and slowly driving the evolution of the body's genes, involves the laws governing the operation of the universe.

He currently lacks sufficient comprehension and understanding of the laws, and cannot yet perceive them. However, as his realm deepens in the future, these laws will undoubtedly become a valuable aid in his comprehension of the laws.

While Zhou Ze was pondering the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, Luo Feng was still enduring the real pain brought on by the soul fusion.

Luo Feng endured all the hardship, yet he gained some insights from Zhou Ze's teachings.

"Hmm? Someone actually applied for a follow-up to the 'Mental State Cultivation Method'?"

The Chaos City Lord curiously checked the backstage and discovered that it was none other than the famous "Venerable Qian Wu". His pupils shrank subconsciously.

"This mental cultivation method is really strange. My junior brothers and I haven't even scratched the surface, yet Qian Wu is the first among us to do so."

-

The Lord of Chaos City knew how difficult it was to learn the art of cultivating one's state of mind. It was too profound and too ethereal. As for the so-called mind and nature, he had been in charge of the Virtual Universe Company for countless eons. While the Giant Axe was not managing the trivial matters of the race, he was also in charge of all matters, big and small, of the human race.

Coupled with his own strength and countless years of tempering his mind, he remained calm and unperturbed by everything, yet even so, he still could not master the basics.

It's unbelievable that Venerable Qianwu, a mere high-level Venerable, has actually entered the path.

Meanwhile, in his own temple within the virtual universe, Venerable Qianwu awaited approval of his application. Not long after, he received an email confirming the approval.

Soon, he received the rest of the mental cultivation method. He excitedly opened the box and found a very thin blue paper book inside.

Of course, this "very thin" refers to its thinness relative to other secret techniques.

If any Chinese person on Earth were to see this secret method, they would definitely be able to see that the follow-up to this method of cultivating one's state of mind is simply a small booklet specifically used to record common texts such as "The Art of War," "The Thirty-Six Stratagems," and "The Diamond Sutra."

The Venerable Qianwu flipped through the pages one by one, and soon memorized all the text.

"The method of application is quite simple, but most of these secret techniques require a second or even third level of mental state to use!"

"I'm just starting out, and I'm still a long way from reaching the first level of perfection —"

Following the first level of the Mind Cultivation Method, Venerable Qianwu began to recall the various experiences he had gone through from birth to the present day, spanning trillions of epochs.

For a moment, I was immersed in memories —

Many cultivators who are not immortal gods have photographic memories and can remember their past experiences clearly, not to mention a great being like Venerable Qianwu.

His experience is so rich that once he crosses the threshold, his cultivation speed will be incredibly fast.

Within a few decades, he had perfected the first level of mental cultivation and had been diligently researching how to reach the second level.

But the gap between each level of his mindset is like an insurmountable chasm. He is not from Earth, and he is not born with a natural advantage in terms of mental talent.

"It's really difficult. The second level emphasizes the way of utmost purity, truth, and sincerity, using one's own heart to represent the heart of Heaven, achieving oneness with Heaven—"

—It's too ethereal and elusive—

The Venerable Qianwu sighed, "It seems I must go to Earth, read their classics, and learn about the culture of the Chinese people on Earth."

Instead of setting off immediately, Venerable Qianwu tried to use his mental power to assist in his cultivation.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't cultivate, but once he does, he feels that he, Qianwu, has become an unparalleled genius. At his level, it's nothing more than improving genes, increasing the amplitude of the divine body and the soul, as well as treasures and secret techniques.

Even the mighty cosmic overlord Herodo's divine body amplitude was only 64 times, still a long way from the limit of divine body amplitude, let alone the Venerable Qianwu.

His divine body amplitude is far from 50 times greater, let alone his soul amplitude.

"Amazing! Absolutely amazing!"

The Venerable Qianwu was so engrossed in enhancing the amplitude of his divine body that he completely forgot about time.

To break through to immortality at the peak of the Realm Lord level, one needs to achieve a 100-fold increase in physical strength, reaching the limits of their body. Once achieved, this signifies the pinnacle of their physical power. Further breakthroughs require a secret technique to amplify their original power tenfold, or even twentyfold.

Times, or even a hundred times the limit of the universe!

Whether it's tapping into the body's potential or breaking through limits, it all boils down to control over the body. The emergence of mental power allows cultivators to have ultimate control over their own bodies, and this can be achieved as long as the secret method is understood.

Furthermore, one's state of mind will increase the speed at which one comprehends secret techniques several times over.

"I never imagined that after all these years, I, Qianwu, would have the opportunity to advance even further!"

The Venerable Qianwu was deeply moved.

"I wonder how Zhou Ze did it. At such a young age, he possesses such amazing talent and comprehension. Hmm, Earth is quite extraordinary after all. It seems—"
