Xianxia: Why am I here?

142 Attaining the second state of mind: Heart of sea stage

After continuous entry into the stele world and viewing the situation he seemed to have gained a lot.

[My strength indeed has increased slowly but to avoid some unexpected situations it’s better to take my mind state further. In the end, it is beneficial for me when trying to enter higher realms. It also could help when my realm increases faster, otherwise, my mind might end up floating leading trouble to for myself.]

The more Wang thought of his current situation the more convinced he became about the issue of his state of mind.

From another perspective, when the state of mind reached a level of heart over the world, one would not be affected by inner demons at all.

This in itself is a huge benefit for any practitioner but he needed to reach such a state before he could think about it.

From the experience of watching that fight, he could see that state of mind becomes terrifying in the later stages.

A thought could even lead to cutting off the vitality of a supreme being.

Attaining something in this direction was what he could do for the moment as for the future, there would be opportunities.

In that case, studying it will not impact his cultivation too greatly as he lacked the way forward.

.....

It might even improve some of the qualities he lacked in, making up for weaknesses at the end of the day.

State of mind could help see through some things and thus attaining a higher level is akin to setting a stronger foundation.

For Wang, this would be a good opportunity, and with the urgency to improve himself, his state of mind needed to be calmer.

All he could do was improve his comprehension slowly while putting his time on the issue of the mind.

He also wasn’t in a hurry to get his next path in comprehension for the realm since he needed to accumulate his previous achievement.

Accumulation could be obtained through traveling further and reading more, and this is something he was good at.

He could fail in other aspects but not the two, thus he was confident it would be possible for him to step onto the same level of reality-altering.

He was not just trying to accomplish something in his state of mind due to his intention to improve himself but rather he was also tempted by the ability to temper reality.

That was something almost equal to the level of gods in his thoughts but seeing it today even encouraged him more to continue improving himself.

True meaning could be brought further after he combined all the nine perfected meanings.

He could feel his state of mind which had not improved for a long time starting to improve very fast.

He already had an idea forming on the way forward, but he could only go ahead and get his wife to also come into this space.

The benefits of watching the scene just now would vary from one person to another and thus he had to let Ruruo deduce what she would obtain on her own.

As he thought of this he moved towards the area he come from and this time the old man did not even flinch when he passed on his way back.

Arriving at his place of entry, he could feel his body and thus he just closed his eyes and when he woke up he had returned.

Then he referred back, and at the same time, he felt his coverage had expanded.

His spiritual consciousness seemed to have improved.

He tried all means but couldn’t shake his spiritual consciousness and thus wondered how it had entered the stele.

On further thought, he decided to not delve into the matter.

Looking around, he was still standing in a field of flowers releasing some pink fog.

Ignoring this, he immediately perceived Ruruo’s location and asked them to come over.

When Ruruo arrived he explained the situation to her and was sure she would be capable of handling it just fine.

Her strength was already not something to be trifled with in the end.

With her capabilities, he was sure she could gain something from the stone stele world.

And he did not plan to help her move past the bridge test, as her consciousness would be pulled in, it was more like a test.

Just like in the original temple, despite the couple being very close, they each took certain issues seriously.

The path of martial arts required one to temper themselves and these kinds of opportunities that did not threaten their lives were rare.

For Wang, after his wife and daughter arrived he set fire again, making a certain radius free from the fog.

At the same time, he spread his domain to about several hundred meters radius. After doing that he closed his eyes and tried to recall the scene he just saw.

But Fengxi still came over and asked, ” Dad, why am I not allowed to also go there and see it?”

He looked at his daughter and sighed, “The place is not easy as you think, there is a test and the minimum limit you have yet to achieve it. This place will still be here and you can visit it sometime in the future. Don’t you think so?” He had to explain least she jumped onto the stele too without having any ability to even move past the forest.

He then continued to sit there trying to simulate the events he saw at the moment of reality-altering to gain some benefits.

The pressure it had brought on his mind was too intense and thus it had reached a limit.

He wanted to move past the threshold but this required him to develop his enlightenment.

All he needed was a chance to advance his mental state, but he did not plan to wait for it.

He was going to create an opportunity for himself using the high-level oppression of superior mind power.

It indeed proved very effective as her mental state was still improving, though at a very slow rate.

As for Ruruo she just arrived in a huge stele world and lost the benefits of her physical body.

Even the use of her comprehension of true meaning, become difficult since the place seemed to lack heaven and earth.

But it took some time before calming down.

Unlike wang, she didn’t discover the stele directly but saw a huge forest around her.

Her spiritual body was indeed huge but not even half that of Wang.

In such a case she couldn’t see the situation above the trees.

As she got her spiritual body in line with the environment, she seemed to have attracted some wild beasts.

Indeed compared to the giant that arrived before she was soft permission they could bully at any time.

She didn’t have any weapon on her but she was very creative, with a thought a weapon materialized.

When Wang talked to her about the spiritual body she was also interested, and he didn’t pass on a lot of information so she tried it by herself.

Still, she remembered some things he had said thus very able to deal with the situation calmly.

The moment she attacked, she realized the materialized weapon seemed to lack something but still it had a good effect.

When she materialized sword intent, her combat power broke out, and she was capable of dealing with injuries but mainly focused on the head of the wolves.

A three-headed wolf that could be seen among the beasts present held some position as some overlord.

She wounded it several times by exposing some flaws. In the end, took advantage of this to cut at it.

With sword intent manifested, the attack did the job and surprisingly she felt some white substances float towards her spiritual body.

She wanted to escape but it still got to her faster, she was only relieved after realizing that the consciousness was having a chilling sensation, then it become comfortable.

Feeling the change in her consciousness, she did not plan to let the other group of beasts and attacked decisively.

Thankfully some of the beasts were killed and converted into nourishment for her, while a few escaped in the end.

On the outside, with his eyes closed, Wang could feel his body changing.

Unlike Ruruo that was slowly making her way towards the huge steel, he could feel that some fog was blurring his path forward.

As he thought of the fog covering the area he was in, a thought popped into his mind.

[Perhaps a fire like the heaven and earth flame could also burn this fog completely. But what would cause there to be an existence of fog here? A river or sea? The best way to deal with such a situation is to let nature take its course.] As though he had come to some realization, a huge vibration started.his mind. This almost knocked him unconscious and thus a state of being in a daze for a while before his body shook.

“Om!”

Hearing the huge vibration from his head, it was thought some resonance had been made I’m his mind with the source of the fog.

Then a huge sea seemed to have been opened up, clearing the darkness.

He knew that his situation had changed and his mind had stepped into the second state, a mind as calm as a sea.

At this moment he was indeed happy, the change in his mental state also meant he could improve his realm without much concern about an unstable mentality.

He already could feel his mind slowly undergoing some enhancement.

On the surface, nothing seemed to change but even Fengxi could feel something change slightly around her, yet couldn’t grasp it.

[Interesting, in this state many things can’t make waves in my heart. It seems to improve the huge sea, knowledge is necessary. But that is not urgent, some things should be done first.]

He could indeed feel the slight changes happening but he stopped paying attention to it only to see his daughter looking around in confusion.

[Ooh! Not bad! She can recognize the slight fluctuations that occurred. It seems my daughter is close to training in the first state of the mind.]
