Chapter 68: Cultivation is Cultivating the Heart

~8 min read 1,559 words

The mountain spirit excitedly started to learn the Somersault Cloud, while Hua Changxi quickly took out paper and pen from the Shennong Ding and began to copy "Nine Turns Mysterious Technique", "Law of Heaven and Earth", and "Somersault Cloud".

"Nine Turns Mysterious Technique", a body-refining technique that can cultivate the physical body to the God Realm.

"Law of Heaven and Earth", this is a supernatural power, the cultivation threshold is very high, and it requires the cultivator to cultivate both body and method to perform it.

"Somersault Cloud", a magic of riding the clouds and driving the fog, can be considered the easiest to get started with.

After copying, Hua Changxi put the paper and pen back into the Shennong Ding, then walked to the entrance of the stone cave to look out. She didn't see the white-robed old priest, and she wasn't too happy.

The mountain spirit said that the old priest had been searching for it in Mount Wuzhi for several months, which shows that the old priest is determined to get the mountain spirit.

There is the Monkey King's breath in the stone cave, and the old priest doesn't dare to step into the stone cave easily.

If he can't enter the cave to catch people, he can only wait for them to come out.

If she were the old priest, she would find a place to hide outside the cave, wait for them to come out voluntarily, and then catch them all in one net.

Hua Changxi recalled the spiritual energy fluctuation emitted by the old priest when he was chasing her and the mountain spirit. It was very strong. The old priest's realm was definitely a big realm higher than hers.

Facing the old priest head-on, she was definitely not his opponent.

Hua Changxi turned back into the cave and, together with the mountain spirit, began to learn the Somersault Cloud.

One somersault, 108,000 miles...

If the speed is really that fast, then they don't have to worry about not being able to get rid of the old priest.

"Fairy, your movement is wrong, you have to jump like this..."

The mountain spirit is flexible, and learning the Somersault Cloud is quite easy.

I saw the mountain spirit flip, and clouds condensed under his feet, and then he stepped on the clouds and began to fly around in the stone cave.

Hua Changxi was envious, and according to the steps of the patterns carved on the cave wall, as well as the guidance from the mountain spirit, she practiced over and over again.

After most of the day, when Hua Changxi jumped into the air, she could quickly condense clouds under her feet.

Stepping on the soft clouds and floating in the air, Hua Changxi felt that this feeling was very novel, completely different from the feeling of practicing light work before.

Martial artists practice light work, no matter how powerful they are, they need a point of force.

Without a point of force, no matter how deep the internal energy is, it is impossible to float in the air like she is now.

Just like jumping off a cliff, martial artists have to rely on the power of the cliff wall to go down. After learning the Somersault Cloud, she can step on the clouds and float down comfortably.

"Ah~"

Hua Changxi was happy that she had learned another practical magic, but her feet were suddenly unstable.

The originally thick clouds faded bit by bit, and the bearing capacity was not enough. Hua Changxi, who was stepping on the clouds, fell directly from the clouds and "bang" smashed to the ground.

Seeing this, the mountain spirit held his stomach and laughed loudly.

Hua Changxi glared at him, looked out of the cave, saw that the sky had darkened, took out a few fire spirit stones, lit a circle of fire, waited for the stone cave to be illuminated, and then took out some dry food and spiritual fruits from the Shennong Ding.

Seeing the food, the mountain spirit immediately leaned toward Hua Changxi.

"Do you still need to eat?"

"Can eat or not, it's just that absorbing spiritual energy is too tasteless. I still prefer to eat spiritual fruits and spiritual plants in the mountain, sour, sweet, astringent, and bitter, which are very flavorful."

"You still know the taste?"

"Of course I know, I also need to practice. The inheritance I inherited tells me that cultivation is not just absorbing spiritual energy, but experiencing the world, watching the sea change and the clouds roll and relax. Otherwise, cultivation will stagnate."

Hua Changxi looked at the mountain spirit gnawing on the spiritual fruit and was thoughtful.

After she advanced to the Golden Core Realm, she couldn't continue to increase her cultivation by just absorbing spiritual energy. This situation was very similar to what the mountain spirit just said.

"Then do you eat demon beasts?"

"Haven't eaten yet. I have seen demon beasts that died in fighting, bloody, I don't like it. However, I have seen those cultivators outside kill demon beasts and roast them, smelling fragrant, looking like they are delicious."

"Fairy, do you want to eat roasted demon beasts? If you want to eat, wait until we get rid of the mangy old priest, you go hunt a demon beast to roast, and I will help you eat a little bit, how about it?"

"Not good, you go kill and roast the demon beast, maybe I will reward you with a little bit."

"But I don't know how..."

"If you don't know, don't eat."

"But I want to eat, don't you want to eat, Fairy?"

"Hold back if you want to eat."

"If you want to eat, you have to eat, you have to satisfy yourself, Fairy, you are too bad to yourself."

Hua Changxi looked silently at the little fat doll who was inciting her to kill demon beasts: "You are quite good at provoking people."

The mountain spirit blinked his innocent big eyes: "I am telling the truth, cultivation is cultivating the heart, you are suppressing your heart everywhere, then how do you cultivate the heart?"

This sentence bluffed Hua Changxi, and she looked at the little fat doll in front of her in surprise: "Did your inheritance tell you all this?"

The mountain spirit nodded: "Yes."

Hua Changxi stuffed a pile of spiritual fruits to the mountain spirit, let him eat, and she also thought while eating.

Cultivation is cultivating the heart, you cannot suppress your heart, otherwise you cannot cultivate the heart, so it means doing things according to your heart?

After eating, the mountain spirit began to yawn: "Fairy, I am sleepy."

Hua Changxi took out a blanket and spread it on the ground: "You sleep on this."

The mountain spirit walked over curiously and lay down. Before, he slept anywhere in the mountain, but this was the first time he slept like this.

Hua Changxi took a smaller blanket and covered his little belly: "Sleep."

"Fairy, aren't you sleeping yet?"

"I will practice the Somersault Cloud for a while, we can't stay in the stone cave and not go out, after learning the Somersault Cloud, the old priest won't be able to catch up with us."

The stone cave soon became quiet, the mountain spirit fell asleep, and Hua Changxi practiced the Somersault Cloud over and over again.

At first, the clouds condensed by Hua Changxi were not solid enough and could not be maintained for too long.

After figuring out this problem, flying while controlling the clouds encountered trouble.

"Bang bang bang~"

Because of improper control, Hua Changxi would bump into the stone wall from time to time when stepping on the clouds to fly, bumping her teeth and grinning.

Just as Hua Changxi was stumbling while practicing flying on the clouds, the night passed.

The sunlight shone through the entrance of the stone cave, the mountain spirit woke up rubbing his eyes, looked around the stone cave, didn't see Hua Changxi, thought she had left him and ran away, and suddenly his eyes turned red, his little mouth pouted, and he cried.

"Fairy..."

In the middle of the top of the stone cave, there was a small hole, but the hole was covered by something.

Hua Changxi was just looking at what was covering the hole when she heard the crying from below: "Fat doll, you are awake, I am above."

Hearing Hua Changxi's voice, the mountain spirit hurriedly looked up, with tears still hanging in his eyes, seeing that Hua Changxi hadn't left, and was floating at the very top of the stone cave stepping on clouds, he hurriedly wiped his tears and quickly drove the clouds to fly up.

Seeing the mountain spirit come up, Hua Changxi immediately pointed to the hole and said: "Fat doll, look at the thing blocking the hole, does it look like a hand?"

Didn't hear the mountain spirit's answer, Hua Changxi couldn't help but look at him, and then saw the mountain spirit trembling: "What's wrong with you?"

The mountain spirit pulled Hua Changxi and flew down quickly. After landing, he said with a trembling voice: "That is the Buddha's hand! It is the Buddha's hand that suppressed the Monkey King, so that the Monkey King will never escape from this stone cave." ===== CHAPTER 69 =====
