Chapter 168: Using Stillness to Control Movement, Returning to Nature

Is this phantom hinting at something? Is it guiding him on the way forward? Wu Yi sensed the change of the phantom and thought in his heart.

"No," Wu Yi's eyes were bright, and he dodged the phantom's oncoming attack. He thought: It is not a mixture of two kinds of Tao rhyme, but it is mainly based on the Tao rhyme of the Great Dao of Movement, and it takes the path of taking stillness in movement.

"If I meet the inner demon later, it should also choose this path, so, my path-" Wu Yi suddenly thought of something, as if he had broken a layer of shackles, and the whole person was sublimated and walked out of the predicament that had troubled him for a long time.

See people as people, see shadows as shadows.

See people as not people, see shadows as not shadows.

See people as people, see shadows as people.

Wu Yi suddenly understood the meaning of the few words that Bai Ze said to him at the beginning. When Wu Yi refined the original inner ghost into the inner demon, then corresponding to the first sentence, he and the inner demon were two sides of the same coin.

Then the inner demon gradually became more independent, separated from Wu Yi and existed independently, as if it had become an independent existence. Even now, Wu Yi and the inner demon have been isolated from each other for more than a year.

Wu Yi is Wu Yi, and the inner demon is the inner demon. If the two do not want to be sensed by each other, they can even have no intersection in the future. Of course, the premise is that they do not want to improve their cultivation, otherwise a life-and-death battle is inevitable.

Wu Yi is now at this stage. If he wants to achieve the final state of seeing people as people and seeing shadows as people, he must find the connection between Wu Yi and the inner demon. To be honest, Wu Yi and the inner demon have many connections, and many of the cultivation methods overlap.

It should not be difficult in theory, but there is a biggest obstacle, that is, the two have different understandings of the Tao. Wu Yi is static, and the inner demon is dynamic, just like water and fire, and they cannot tolerate each other.

Wu Yi originally thought so, but the change of the phantom in front of him made Wu Yi realize that the relationship between him and the inner demon was not necessarily the relationship between water and fire, but the relationship between the two ways of yin and yang, but it was different from the yin and yang in the general state. It was not a relationship of mutual tolerance. Wu Yi should confirm that the relationship was based on the Dao rhyme of the great way of tranquility.

This can also be felt from Bai Ze's last sentence. Looking at people is still people, looking at shadows is also people. People are the most important. Without people, shadows will no longer exist.

Wu Yi thought more and more deeply, and the breath on his body was also changing. Sometimes he was restless, sometimes peaceful, sometimes the two breaths coexisted, and sometimes he had no breath at all, just like a mortal.

Such a strange change happened to Wu Yi, so the phantom on the opposite side could not figure out what Wu Yi was doing for a while. He didn't know the existence of the inner demon, so naturally he didn't know why Wu Yi had such a change.

Asking for the Dao Heart, see if you have a consistent Dao Heart. If the cultivator originally comprehended the Dao Rhyme of water, then the Heaven Ladder will most likely evolve a True Self with the Dao Rhyme of fire, and influence the cultivator's confidence in his own Dao Rhyme through the confrontation of Dao Rhymes.

If the cultivator doubts his own Dao Rhyme, that is, the Dao Heart is not right, and it can basically be declared a failure.

This path is not wrong. The True Self opposite Wu Yi grasps the Dao Rhyme of the Great Dao of Movement. If there is no Heart Demon, Wu Yi may be no different from other cultivators who climb the Heaven Ladder, and pass the level in the same way, but this True Self that controls stillness with movement helps Wu Yi open a key to solve the problem of Heart Demon.

Wu Yi has been avoiding the attack of the phantom, and his steps seem to be disordered, but if you observe carefully, it is clear that he is still but not moving, moving but not chaotic, and chaotic but not wrong. Until now, the phantom has not even touched Wu Yi's sleeve.

After Wu Yi understood his own path, new problems emerged, how to control stillness with movement, and the most important thing is that Wu Yi has not even comprehended the Dao Rhyme of the Great Dao of Movement.

"No, I have understood it. Movement is stillness. If you use stillness to control movement, stillness becomes one, one becomes two, and it becomes two ways of movement and stillness."

"The way gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things." Wu Yi murmured, and the blood light on his body, the burning blood technique he activated, the fire spirit beside him, and the scattered spiritual consciousness were all taken back into his body.

Wu Yi's three methods of strength and energy were all taken back by him, and the three became two. Only the two auras of mania and peace, which should have been incompatible, remained on his body. They flowed in Wu Yi's body like swimming fish. The two auras sometimes intertwined and sometimes separated, but they were not clearly divided. There was no distinction between the Chu River and the Han River, and there was no distinction between high and low.

Then the manic aura gradually disappeared, leaving only the quiet aura. The two became one, which was what Wu Yi promoted, using stillness to control movement, taking stillness as the main thing, and taking stillness as the foundation.

But this process did not end there. In the fierce battle, Wu Yi actually closed his eyes, and the quiet aura on his body disappeared. The whole person seemed to have become a mortal.

Returning to the original state, the unity of man and nature, commonly known as enlightenment, cultivators who enter this state generally gain great benefits. If others know that Wu Yi has entered this state, I don’t know how jealous they will be.

The phantom did not see Wu Yi’s state. Seeing Wu Yi close his eyes, he thought Wu Yi was arrogant and proud, and his face showed joy, and his attack became more fierce.

But every time Wu Yi was about to hit him, he cleverly avoided the attack, so Wu Yi’s situation seemed to be in danger, but he was like a fish playing in the water, comfortable and leisurely.

Seeing such a situation, the true self’s eyes became more and more solemn, and stopped his slightly panicked attack, and Wu Yi also stopped. Wu Yi’s current situation is very strange, as if he is in harmony with the world, but not completely in harmony, and can dodge with the phantom’s attack.

Phantom knew that other ordinary moves were useless against Wu Yi, so he used his trump card directly, and fought with the Dao Yun to decide the outcome.

After the Dao Yun of the Great Dao of Movement touched Wu Yi, Wu Yi immediately broke away from the state of enlightenment. Wu Yi felt the mysterious state just now, and was still a little reluctant, but the attack of the true self was already in front of him, and he had to fight.

Wu Yi opened his eyes as calm as water, and the breath on his body changed from quiet to a blend of movement and stillness. After the Dao Yun of the true self touched Wu Yi, it did not hurt Wu Yi at all, as if it was dissolved by Wu Yi.

Seeing this, the true self was horrified and wanted to withdraw. Wu Yi's eyes flashed with cold light, and the breath of the blend of movement and stillness turned back and rushed towards the true self, which also included the Dao Yun of the true self. The true self can be said to have shot itself in the foot.

The surging Dao rhyme flooded the real self like flowing water. The real self instantly lost consciousness and turned into a body without soul. The aura on the body was also assimilated by the Dao rhyme of the Great Dao of Tranquility, and the face was peaceful.

"Huh, it didn't collapse." Wu Yi looked at the body in front of him that was exactly the same as his own, and was curious. He thought that this phantom would disappear directly as if it was knocked out of the boundary.

Wu Yi walked to the unconscious body of the real self, pinched and patted it, walked several circles, and found that the real self's physical body was not inferior to his at all. This is the best body for the shadow clone.

And with this body, although the shadow clone's strength is still not as good as his, it can at least reach the foundation-building level.

Wu Yi refined a shadow clone embryo. The so-called embryo is not refined into his own blood and qi, but just a trace of his split soul.

If he wants to form a real shadow clone next, Wu Yi should refine blood and qi, but Wu Yi now directly hits it into the phantom's body.

This soul easily merged into the torso. After a few breaths, a new shadow clone appeared. As soon as it was formed, it bowed to Wu Yi and saluted. This was just Wu Yi worshipping himself. After all, the shadow clone was controlled by Wu Yi himself.

Wu Yi looked at the shadow clone in front of him, as if he was looking at a rare treasure, and couldn't help laughing. There were still hundreds of steps. If each step was done in this way, wouldn't Wu Yi be able to create a shadow clone army formed by hundreds of foundation-building monks?

But when he went to the next step, Wu Yi was shocked to find that he might have missed a point, that is, could the shadow clone formed in this way go to the next step? If not, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?

For the sake of safety, Wu Yi took this shadow clone into the newly visualized stone tablet world (the stone tablet world where the ghosts were originally hidden contained external forces, so Wu Yi could no longer sense it after entering the ladder. This was the stone tablet world newly visualized by Wu Yi, which was mentioned earlier). He didn't know whether he could avoid the annihilation of the border.

What made Wu Yi secretly relieved was that when he went to the next step, no abnormal changes occurred, and it seemed that there should be no problem.

Thinking of the army of shadow clones at the foundation-building level that he might have in the future, Wu Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed, and his face was flying. How could he be calm in the past? The benefits were really too great, and Wu Yi couldn't help but be unhappy.

Next, Wu Yi spent more time refining such shadow clones. After he realized the method of using stillness to control movement, his strength increased a lot. Basically, he could defeat his true self within a few moves. There were also a few times in the middle when he couldn't control his strength for a while and crushed his true self, which made Wu Yi's idea of ​​refining into shadow clones become a waste of time, but most of the shadow clones were still left.

When Wu Yi met the 200th true self, Wu Yi's stone tablet world already had 85 such shadow clones, and Wu Yi, who had broken through a hundred steps in a row, only took three days, and the speed was unknown. It was much faster than before, which showed the power of enlightenment.

But Wu Yi seemed a little depressed after splitting too many spiritual consciousnesses. Although there were so many shadow clones at the foundation-building level, Wu Yi could only control about ten at a time.

Wu Yi's spiritual consciousness could not control them at all, and they were just cannon fodder. Wu Yi obviously would not waste the shadow clones that he had finally refined.

I will take a break after winning this battle. Wu Yi said to himself.

On the even-numbered steps, the opposite side's true self attacked with Tao rhyme. Wu Yi's Tao rhyme changed from static to dynamic and static. Wu Yi was already familiar with such changes. Next, the Tao rhyme displayed by the opposite side's true self should be assimilated by Wu Yi, and then the true self retreated in fear. It was like this before. Wu Yi had already been aesthetically fatigued and just wanted to end the battle early.

However, the Tao rhyme was assimilated by Wu Yi, but the hidden power spread out, but it knocked Wu Yi out, almost knocking Wu Yi, who was not prepared at all, out of the boundary.

Wu Yi changed his indifferent look and became more serious. This true self actually combined the rhyme of Taoism and strength. No wonder such a situation occurred.

The rhyme of Taoism can actually be combined with strength. What about the harmony of Qi? What about the law? Wu Yi seemed to see another door.

Wu Yi was not surprised but happy. He did not realize that the true self was no longer imitating him. Wu Yi did not know many moves at all. Instead, the true self brought Wu Yi many strange ideas.

Finally, the pit was filled. Awoo
