Chapter 242 Doubts about the Primordial Spirit, Earth Ox
Chen Chunan struggled a little, but it was no use.
Suddenly he sensed something was wrong—where had his restless mind gone?
"Damn it, that damn monkey! He's never reliable!"
With a thought, Chen Chunan unleashed bursts of flames from his body, burning a space barely large enough for him to move around in the black aura.
Just as Chen Chunan was about to press on and burn through the black energy completely,
A huge bull's head suddenly appeared from the firelight.
"Holy crap! Where did this cow come from?"
Chen Chunan looked closely and was struck dumb.
A thought popped into his mind: This isn't some kind of bull! This is clearly a restless mind!
Long-buried memories surged into my mind.
...
"Have you read the original story? It clearly states in the original story that the Bull Demon King is actually the Mind Monkey in disguise! The Bull Demon King is the dark side of Sun Wukong."
"You've indeed read the original story, but are you sure you understood it? If the Bull Demon King is Sun Wukong's dark side, then what about the Six-Eared Macaque? 'One body cannot achieve true peace and tranquility, two hearts stir up chaos in the universe.' This chapter title tells you that the Six-Eared Macaque is Sun Wukong's two hearts! And you're still being stubborn!"
"You should ask yourself if you understood it? Six-Eared Macaque is just a monkey that already existed! Look up the original text yourself to see what the Buddha said!"
"It's obvious you haven't watched the author's previous videos. The 'Monkey King' represents the Daoist mind, the 'Six Ears' represents the human mind, and these two minds refer to Tang Sanzang's two minds—that's the true meaning of 'two minds.'"
"Exactly! These two not only don't watch the previous videos, but they also didn't watch this one. In the twelve earthly branches, the ox corresponds to Chou, and Chou ox is associated with Ji earth. Ji earth belongs to Kun, which is the quiet earth in the mind, the place of true Yin. The five elements are associated with the heavenly stems and earthly branches: wood is born in Hai, fire is born in Yin, metal is born in Si, water and earth are born in Shen. In the twelve earthly branches, the monkey belongs to Shen, right?"
"The earth within the earth gives birth to the yang energy, and the mighty Bull Demon King is actually the mind monkey that has not yet obtained yang energy, hence the saying that the Bull Demon King is originally a transformation of the mind monkey."
The videos I made in my previous life and the comments section where I had followed all came to mind.
Only when the three Yin elements in Kun (坤) are paired with the three Yang elements in Qian (乾) – Zhen (震), Gen (艮), and Kan (坎) – can Yin and Yang be in harmony.
Is the Bull Demon King the dark side of the Monkey King?
The mind is intention, and intention is mind. When the mind is restless, calamities will arise.
The saying that the Ox King was born from Shen (申) and that the Ox King was originally a transformation of the Monkey King is not without reason.
However, one cannot look at things from only one aspect; one must see the whole picture. Cultivation reaches the state of Qian (乾) and Guai (夬). At this time, the Yang energy is excessive and dry, like a raging fire, thus requiring the harmonization of true Yin.
That's why the story of Journey to the West involving borrowing the Banana Leaf Fan three times to extinguish the Flaming Mountain came about.
This is the Daoist alchemy's progression from Guai to Gou!
The Bull Demon King is a true Yin Earth, suitable for stillness and not for movement.
When still, true yin returns to its original state; when in motion, false yang arises and dryness is generated.
When false yang arises, dryness is generated, water and fire are out of balance, and heaven and earth are in disharmony.
When the Bull Demon King left the Iron Fan Immortal and went to Mount Jilei, wasn't that exactly the same as the change of the earth from the still land to the moving earth, abandoning the true for the false, water and fire not coexisting, and heaven and earth in disharmony?
That old bastard is going to ruin his own path!
After quickly clarifying the cause and effect, Chen Chunan was drenched in cold sweat.
Now that my elixir is about to undergo nine cycles, isn't this precisely the time when my yang energy is at its peak and my fire is blazing?
The hexagrams Qian and Guai, Guai and Gou, represent the convergence of the three natures within oneself. One should harmonize the mind and earth, and only wait for the sacred embryo to be conceived before achieving the Yang spirit.
But then, the restless monkey transformed into a bull demon.
If things go wrong at this moment, all the cultivation I have done will be in vain!
That's a brilliant tactic!
wrong!
A thunderbolt struck Chen Chunan's mind.
The mind is intention, and intention is the mind. What is the mind? It is the primordial spirit!
The Taoist innate spirit is called the true nature, and the monkey also claims to be the true nature. Now, the true nature has transformed into the bull demon, but the monkey has not been greatly affected. This is not right!
Moreover, when the Heavenly Fox attacked before, he briefly awakened his primordial spirit light, meaning he has two primordial spirits.
Upon hearing this guess, Chen Chunan himself was startled.
Two primordial spirits, is that reasonable?
The appearance of the Mind Monkey is illogical; Yun Ling, who also cultivates the Inner Alchemy method, has never experienced anything like what I have.
Is it the changes I brought about by my own transmigration to this world, or something else?
I wasn't born through possession, so how come I inexplicably have an extra primordial spirit?
Chen Chunan couldn't figure it out for a moment.
But now is not the time to think about these things; the most urgent task is to get out of this predicament!
Chen Chunan used all his strength to draw out the innate Qi in the Xuan Guan acupoint, transforming it into raging flames.
It also burned the Mind Monkey, who had transformed into a bull demon, to ashes.
With Yu Jiaolong casting spells on the outside and Chen Chunan refining demons on the inside, their combined efforts made the pig demon even weaker.
The old Taoist priest from the upper realm was about to have his little idea shattered.
This infuriated him: "Damn it! If it weren't for the Heavenly Dao deliberately severing the connection between heaven and earth, preventing even a fraction of the power of spells cast across realms from being revealed, how could we allow such a junior to lose face! Fellow Daoists! Why don't you quickly recreate the chaos!"
As soon as the old Taoist finished speaking, the other two old Taoists increased their strength by 30%.
The world, already on the verge of collapse, shattered completely.
Chen Chunan knew that this was the old bastard from the upper realm preventing him from completely eliminating the pig demon.
Without further delay, he focused his energy, bulged his arm muscles, and swung the golden cudgel into a full moon shape.
"Pop~"
A crisp, eggshell-like sound echoed throughout the entire Sacred Realm of Reincarnation.
The entire pig demon, along with the entire space, cracked from the point where the stick fell.
The surging demonic energy burst forth from the shattered point.
While Yu Jiaolong was still extracting the Jade Tree from the outside world, she was so startled by the overwhelming demonic energy that she almost fell from the sky.
"Damn it, Chen Chunan! What on earth did you mess with? This thing is clearly not of this world!"
If the demonic energy originally extracted by Yu Jiaolong was not manifested due to the witchcraft jade puppet of Yu Chen Dao Ren.
At this moment, the jade tree shattered completely, and the demonic energy surged forth like a mighty river.
They then coalesced into a towering, earth-shaking demon on the East China Sea.
Even the farthest borders of the Eastern Regions are clearly visible.
This boar demon, radiating demonic energy, instantly ignited the entire Eastern Region.
"Where did this demon come from?"
"It is definitely not of this world!"
"In the past, the Daoist Ancestor left behind the words 'the end of Dharma,' could it really be today?"
"Let's run!"
Just as the cultivators of the Eastern Region were living in constant fear.
A blood-red cassock swept in.
"Jade Dragon, this humble monk knows you can open the Heavenly Gate! Today, this humble monk will lend you a hand and send this fiend into the Heavenly Realm! This humble monk can protect you from being taken away!"
The person who came was none other than Sha Wujing, and at that moment he really wanted to curse.
He was already rushing this way. This kind of demon is not easy for others to deal with, but he has many tricks up his sleeve!
Unfortunately, the original body was possessed by a demon halfway through.
He had just turned back to rescue the original body when Chen Chunan shattered a corner of the cycle space with a single blow.
This completely disrupted His plans.
At this moment, he could only find another way: before the people in the upper realm could react, he would send this great demon to the immortal realm and let them have a headache.
This shout roused the shocked Yu Jiaolong.
Looking at the three-eyed blood monk before her, she felt an inexplicable surge of trust.
She had already survived the Nine Heavens Tribulation and could ascend to heaven at any time by triggering the Heavenly Gate.
However, she still wanted to obtain the ancient treasures of the Golden Immortal Dojo in Beihai, so she remained attached to it.
Today, demons have appeared in the world. Such an unparalleled demon is far beyond her ability to deal with. She originally wanted to simply escape to the immortal realm in order to survive.
But the words of the Blood Monk made her want to take a gamble.
"Alright! We'll do as you say!"
"Quickly open the Heavenly Gate, and this humble monk will have a way to help you stay. Although this demon has been struck by Chen Chunan's staff, it will awaken in no time. Such a peerless demon is beyond the capabilities of mortals! Do not delay!"
Yu Jiaolong then understood why the demon had not opened its eyes.
So it turns out she was injured by Chen Chunan?
Does he really have such strength?
Yu Jiaolong dared not delay, and a beam of spiritual light shot into the sky.
The vast celestial energy stirred the heavens.
A strange portal quietly appeared, with thousands of auspicious rays hanging down and boundless rosy light shining down.
The two tightly closed doors were stimulated by Yu Jiaolong's Mahayana stage aura.
It immediately opened slowly.
A seven-colored guiding light transformed into a rainbow bridge and landed at Yu Jiaolong's feet.
The people from the Eastern Region were even more bewildered at this moment.
First, a great demon descended upon the world, and now a great cultivator has triggered the ascension of immortals!
The future looks bleak!
"rise!"
The moment the Rainbow Bridge appeared, a streak of blood shot out from between Wu Jing's brows, binding the pig demon into a dumpling.
"Let's go! Let's embark on the path to immortality together!"
