Chapter 396

How did this happen?

Seol-Hwi felt lost in thought.

Do not try to force balance, but go after harmony. Then it will fit naturally. In that sense, what the Satae said made sense.

Then why did she not say it the last time?

Totally different from then.

Is this the difference between attaining enlightenment as a warrior and enlightenment by devoting oneself to Buddhism?

Unlike others, the womans vision had something different.

Suddenly, one more thing caught his eye.

The fine wrinkles. When he met her the last time, she was a little older than now

Now that I think about it, Satae

Yes.

Never mind. I must have thought it wrongly.

But when Seol-Hwi tried to ask that, he shook his head. It was rude to ask a woman about her age; even if she had cut ties with the world, he could not do that.

Werent you older before? was not something to be asked.

Well, what he was trying to get was the insight of hers. A person with a different perspective than himself this was the wisdom of the world. What does it matter if she had freckles or not?

Hmm are you having a hard time because of my words?

Seol-Hwi shook his head as she asked.

No. I understand it. It was a direction I never thought of before, so I had to think about it. Thank you for the kind words.

Shhh

Seol-Hwi got up and clasped his hands to show respect.

If you dont know anything or feel frustrated and lost, do come visit us at any time.

Thank you very much.

The two people shared a warm smile.

Maybe the Buddha had quietly eased the worries and misfortunes of others in words, if there was a smile that could comfort us, it would probably be like this.

A seeker is an amazing being.

For him, who worked hard to reach this state, he felt in awe of her.

If he looked at it, he might be wise, but it was a life which had no choice but to search for the right answer because he had gone through the wrong path.

Also, thanks to the unprecedented and strange phenomenon known as the system, he had managed to leapfrog several levels that would have otherwise been unattainable.

On the other hand, what about this woman?

Purely her own efforts.

Reflecting on the shortcomings and mistakes in her decisions, she faced challenges head-on and found her own solutions.

A person who can assess the current situation even though she was not a warrior.

For me, this is an impossible path.

Seol-Hwi bowed again and turned. As he was about to leave the cave, he paused for a moment.

What else do you have questions about?

Ah, that

When asked about the situation due to his hesitant look, Seol-Hwi looked down with a humble expression and scratched his head.

He wondered how much of the memory she was aware of.

What difference would it make if the memories were revealed?

In the first place, monks were individuals who had severed ties with the secular world and focused solely on seeking salvation. The memories you share are bonds, and clinging to them can be considered disrespectful.

It is nothing.

And so

Seol-Hwi distanced himself from the woman who had advised him when he ascended to the position of Profound Master. From that day on, Seol-Hwis training underwent a transformation.

Hmm

Microcosm

Try to open your eyes to that.

After taking that direction, Seol-Hwi felt troubled.

Is it possible to create a microcosm of all that is in the dantian?

Seol-Hwis own attempts met with failure several times. Here was another solution suggested by the incident involving two people.

The internal energy of the Justice faction and the Demonic Sect did not need to be balanced, but they had to merge harmoniously

In some ways, it was a nebulous concept, but he was able to find a clue after reading Buddhist and Taoist texts.

When fire and water are placed in a bowl, it is natural for an antithesis to occur. So, if we make a bowl that is both immensely large and strong, it will also handle this

The goal was to transform the bodys dantian into a microcosm. A slight shift in perspective can lead to significant changes.

It alters the course dramatically. Seen from a narrow perspective, it was a matter of the mind, but from a broader view, it became a matter of enlightenment.

Even one of the warriors goals was to perceive the microcosm and unite with it.

Seol-Hwi too aimed for that point.

Why is the dantian differentiated, though?

The body was referred to as a microcosm, but strictly speaking, it was divided into the lower, middle, and upper dantian. These can be seen as the body, energy, and mind, or as the three realms of heaven, earth, and humanity.

But the distinction was clear from the beginning.

A warrior who had reached maturity was not obsessed with technique.

Movement was ultimately a technique, and what drove the technique was intention and thought. Simply put, thoughts are the beginning of everything.

In order to unite the body, mind, and energy, the differences must be eliminated first.

An endless cycle of questions and answers, akin to the dilemma of the chicken or the egg.

One of the methods to achieve this unity was circulation.

Just as Yin and Yang energy come together to form Taiji, a state where the three are not differentiated and become one.

And it must be they who undertook the cultivation.

The great movement was said to involve the flow through the eight extraordinary vessels, circulating throughout the entire body.

After the final blood point was pierced, a kind of supernatural ability manifested.

One can immediately exchange the energy between each part of the five organs and six entrails, elevating the bodys energy to its peak.

The energy in the stomach moves to the intestines.

More than anything, the gateway to the upper part opens to welcome the energy of earth and heaven.

Being able to absorb the energy of nature, if we look at it here, the meaning of the two sages words went beyond creating a microcosm in the body and extended to uniting it with the microcosm of nature.

Umm

In some ways, this task was more difficult than the process of combining the energies of the Justice and Demonic Sects.

You have to try it first and then find out.

The first step was the circulation of energy.

This was similar to the meditation he had done so far, but different in some ways.

It was the spirit of the body, energy, and mind which comes from the peace of mind and remained unwavering amidst the fluctuations of equanimity and unpredictable energies.

The form required a high degree of concentration. If one made a mistake, the reaction was immediate enough to cause one to fall into a state of panic.

I tried it many times

Actually, this was one of the methods Seol-Hwi always used until he ascended to the position of warrior.

This was because the cycle of it combined with previous enlightenment to lead to a rise in status.

However, when he ascended to the profound level, he did not bother trying to make the energy flow. In a way, it was natural; it was difficult to rise to the level without enlightenment.

However, according to the words of the two sages, he was told to prioritize communication with the greater universe.

Lets try it.

Seol-Hwi had reached the Profound Demon, and half a year later, he followed their words.

And the day he tried it.

Euk!

He was caught by energy deviation.

-Seol-Hwi passed away.

?

From one failure to another, it continued.

Fuck

Seol-Hwi was sweating profusely and groaning.

It was without success. The microcosm of the upper, middle, and lower dantian was completely unified.

He succeeded in unifying it. However, the union with the macrocosm failed.

It went beyond harmony and dominated them.

To put it simply, the rain from the sky turned into a black river, and the wind blew.

It transformed into a river curtain, creating clouds on its own, and thus, it could generate strong winds.

At this juncture, it was akin to walking the line between life and death or ascending to godhood.

Perhaps that was why he attempted to merge with the vast universe more than ten times, only to face failure each time.

Euk

This endeavor required transcending Yin and Yang, the energy of nature, and absorbing the primordial energy.

Indeed, before one reached that state, they might encounter deviation, or their entire body might feel inflated.

A peculiar event occurred where it expanded.

It cannot be done.

After ten attempts and failures, Seol-Hwi visited the sage once again.

She, still residing in the same temple, calmly explained things as if she had anticipated his arrival.

Well, even if I cannot guarantee that far. Because the path youve taken and the path I took are different.

If thats so

But, what if you were to walk the path I took? Not through murim. If you study and adhere to the laws of Buddhism, you might attain nirvana.

It is often said that the latest path is the fastest. How about it? Would you like to start training now?

As expected, a different answer came this time.

It was as if he was encountering a woman from the past.

It was the same in his next life.

Profound Master, if that is a state beyond, it transcends human life and death and encompasses the realm of all things in the universe. It can be said to be the murim where one can see everything at a glance. This is an uncharted level that no one in a thousand years of murim history has ever witnessed.

But, you dont make it seem impossible. I have reached a level where I could and have had a variety of experiences to the point where I can handle demonic energy, so

The introduction was a bit long, but she soon shared her thoughts.

The next step is to unite the natural realm with the demonic realm, and the realms of life and death. For that to happen, harmony must be achieved. To achieve harmony, one needs a cultivation method that allows two energies to coexist. Take this.

And then she presented a mind cultivation technique.

It was the Existence Soul Arts.

How can it be different each time?

Seol-Hwi had been taught different things by her each time they met.

It was shocking, yet at the same time, he decided to trust her until the end. There were many lives at stake.

And since this was enough to challenge himself, the Satae had a long dream

No, it was difficult to tell if it was a dream or reality.

There were two things to remember: being very close to death and not feeling fear of death.

When the greatest fear, death, was overcome, she transformed into a Buddha.

She could see the face, to see the unfamiliar human passing by for a moment.

To control the harmony of nature, she somehow created the wind and brought clouds.

Sometimes, she changed the desired airflow as she wished. However, it ended there. The Buddhas place was higher than he had reached.

So she tried to speak and explained what she knew.

Another time, she came to him. The solution was difficult, she said.

She once again taught him something, and again, and again.

After more than 100 times, he had met her countless times.

He asked, and she answered. She carefully taught him to see the way of Buddha. The more the way of Buddha shone, the more it disappeared.

Cultivation methods

It did not matter.

He thought it was better to aid suffering beings than to disappear alone with death.

He wondered how much time had passed. As the vision got brighter, he saw this Buddha statue.

Satae! A-are you alright?

A woman asked her.

A familiar woman. She could only be thought of as her disciple.

What happened to her?

It has been a year since we continued to train well. She didnt eat or even drink water, so I thought that she had stepped into Nirvana.

From the tears of the woman who was crying, it could be guessed.

While practicing here, she reached Nirvana without realizing it.

But for some reason, the connection felt broken.

It was the choice.

Uh?

Jin Yeo tilted her head at the words of the two people.

But the two of them quietly turned around without providing any explanation.

Had a year really passed? The legs that felt stuck could not be moved easily. When the knee was touched

Wait a minute, stay here.

She raised her head.

Uh? Master We have a guest.

The woman was startled and got up. As far as she could sense, there was no one around for 10km.

But, soon someone came?

Hurry.

Yes

Jin Yeo went out the door with her, and a moment later, a familiar man came.

Satae said

I guess it wasnt a dream then

So.

Please sit down.

She did not wonder why he came or how he got here. Because she was capable of doing this.

The man sat down.

She thought for a moment and then opened her mouth.

Do you have any questions?

Tens of thousands of questions and answers in the dreams.

Now she had nothing more to show. The two did not reach Nirvana.

Because she just returned to being human.

No, that isnt why I came

Then?

When the question had been asked 100 times and was not taken, she felt embarrassed.

I just want to talk this time.

Talk.

She looked at the man, a bit surprised.

Have you

The man, Seol-Hwi, answered her.

His face was more peaceful and clear than any she had seen.

I touched it, thanks to the valuable advice you gave me.
