Chapter 2069 [Celestial Music Dao] and [Heart-to-Heart Brahma Sound Dao]; Using music to convey the Dao, using sound to interpret the Dharma!
The Great King of Asgard: "In Bai Xuan's world, the evolution of rules almost encompasses all the possibilities of the worlds in the chat group, and there are countless unimaginable derivatives and combinations. There are countless cultivation civilizations with music as their main focus."
The Great King of Asgard: "Even the system of faith and authority based on the concept of 'gods' has evolved into many distinct branches and forms."
Loki's words carried a complex tone, reflecting both pride in his Asgardian identity and a certain ambivalence about the infinite possibilities of the White Profound World.
Although he had never seen those worlds, he had seen items from those worlds in the group's online store. When it came to the systems related to "gods," they were far more complete than the "gods" of their own Marvel world.
The gods of Asgard wouldn't even be worthy of being called "gods" in those worlds; perhaps only Asgard is somewhat special enough to be considered a kind of god.
The oldest god-slayer: "Indeed."
The oldest god-slayer: "But, alas."
Marquis Voban nodded slightly at Loki's words, but with a hint of barely perceptible regret.
For a god-slayer who seeks power by hunting down gods and seizing authority, a world filled with all sorts of gods is undoubtedly an extremely tempting hunting ground.
But that was Bai Xuan's world, not his, which was naturally a regrettable thing for a god-slayer.
An ordinary group owner: "@Child of Nature, so in Bai Xuan's world, how many cultivation civilizations are related to music and rhythm?"
Su Yunqing asked curiously.
Child of Nature: "The world related to the rules of music, melody, sound waves, mind, etc., can be called 'three thousand' in terms of quantitative concepts that you can easily understand, but more accurately, it should be 'immeasurable'."
Child of Nature: "Sound, in essence, is a wave, information, and a form of energy transmission; it is intricately connected with the mind, emotions, matter, and energy."
Child of Nature: "As the world evolves, the rules of 'sound' combine with different rules, such as elements, spirit, life, space, and time, to give rise to various forms of musical principles."
The Child of Nature: "Therefore, the specific forms of civilization that have emerged are too numerous to count."
Child of Nature: "The so-called 'limitless' refers to the near-infinite possibilities arising from the branching of world lines, the choices of civilizations, and the differences in individual paths."
Child of Nature: "However, if we only consider the 'upper limit' that the power system can achieve, or the 'height of rules' that its path can ultimately reach, there are only three paths in the current world that can be considered quite good."
An ordinary group admin: "Three paths?"
Su Yunqing's eyes lit up, and the others also became interested. If Bai Xuan called it "not bad," then its potential must be quite high.
Child of Nature: "Firstly, it can be called the [Celestial Music Path]."
Child of Nature: "This cultivation system harmonizes music with the natural world and the laws of the Great Dao; the practitioner uses themselves as the instrument and their mind as the string to play the rhythms of heaven and earth and the sounds of the Great Dao."
The Child of Nature: "Initially, it can evoke wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, harmonizing the earth's energy and spirit; at its most profound level, a single melody can invoke the power of the celestial bodies, and the music can evolve into the birth and death of all things; at the highest level, a single word can become the law of the world, and a single melody can determine the order of heaven and earth, using music to interpret and modify the rules of the world."
Child of Nature: "This path pursues the unity of heaven and man, and the natural way of sound. It has extremely high requirements for the practitioner's enlightenment and character. One must have the heart of a child or a clear mind of the Dao in order to perceive and resonate with the mysterious rhythm of heaven and earth."
Therefore, in this world, it is not an exaggeration to say that only one in ten thousand people can enter the gate of cultivation; every person who can cultivate can be called a genius in a normal cultivation world.
However, the system's upper limit is also very high, because it uses the power of heaven and earth to cast spells, while simultaneously making itself compatible with heaven and earth.
Its upper limit is equivalent to heaven and earth, and it can even merge with the Dao of Heaven.
The Child of Nature: "Secondly, it can be called the [Path of the Mind's Brahma Sound]."
Child of Nature: "This practice focuses on the integration of music with the mind, spirit, and will; practitioners refine their spirit, realize their true nature, and transform their emotions, memories, will, and even dreams and prayers into 'heart sounds' and 'chantments'."
The Child of Nature: "Sound can reach the depths of the soul, soothe inner demons, stimulate potential, construct mental illusions, manipulate emotions, and even imprint on the mind and modify consciousness."
Child of Nature: "Those who delve deeply into spiritual practice can use a single hymn to enlighten countless beings, and a melody from the heart to carry the past and the future. They can also use music to open up a 'world of mental images' on a spiritual level, transforming between the real and the illusory."
However, there was one thing Bai Xuan didn't say: the cultivation system of the [Heart-Image Brahma Sound Path] is somewhat complicated.
Initially, it was not a unified whole, but rather two relatively independent yet related paths of practice: "The Method of Mind and Image," which focuses on shaping one's inner state of mind and constructing one's spiritual world, and "The Art of Sanskrit Sounds," which focuses on inducing mental fluctuations and exerting spiritual influence through specific melodies and incantations.
Over the long course of time, countless brilliant minds have explored and finally perfected the combination of the inner cultivation of "Mind Image" and the external application of "Brahma Sound," forming the "Mind Image Brahma Sound Path" that points directly to the origin of the mind.
The upper limit of this path is indeed extremely high. The power of the mind is inherently mysterious and infinite. If one can reach the state of perfection, it is not an exaggeration to say that a single thought can create a world.
However, its cultivation process is accompanied by risks and costs that are unimaginable to ordinary people.
The key lies in "transforming the heart into sound".
Practitioners need to constantly explore, refine, and even "burn" the products of their own emotions, memories, will, dreams, prayers, and all other mental activities, refining and sublimating them into their own "heart sounds" or "chantments" containing special spiritual power.
This means that practitioners must actively experience, engage with, and even create various intense emotions and mental fluctuations.
In pursuit of a more powerful "heart sound" ability, some cultivators often actively seek out, engage with, or even create intense emotional experiences.
Love, hate, joy, sorrow, separation, reunion, ups and downs, life and death tests—all experiences that can cause intense emotional fluctuations become the "resources" for their cultivation.
They will continuously invest their emotions in these experiences, tempering their minds and extracting them as material for their "heartbeats".
The richer one's experiences and the more intense one's emotions, the stronger the "heartfelt voice" that one can extract.
But human emotions have their limits.
Experiencing extreme emotions too frequently and too intensely, especially in the process of deliberately pursuing or even "creating" these experiences, can easily lead to mental fatigue and numbness, and may even distort one's mind.
When the perception of emotions becomes dulled due to overstimulation, and when the experience of joy and sorrow loses its freshness and depth due to repetition, the quality of the "raw materials" used to condense the "heart's voice" will decline, and spiritual practice will easily fall into a bottleneck.
As a result, some practitioners who went further and to more extremes on this path developed a method that can be described as cruel.
"Sever all ties and memories!"
When practitioners feel that their emotions have become indifferent due to too many experiences, or that certain strong memories have formed mental shackles that hinder their progress, they will choose to use this method to actively cut off some of their emotional memories.
In this way, one can "reset" some emotional experiences, allowing oneself to re-experience and feel them with a relatively "fresh" mental state, thereby obtaining new "heartfelt" material.
This process will repeat itself.
Cut off the old, experience the new, cut off again, experience again. Like harvesting crops.
The result is that powerful individuals who can cultivate the [Heart-Image Brahma Sound Path] to an extremely high level often have an exceptionally complex and vast spiritual world, but it may also be full of cracks and filled with severed fragments of memory.
Their mental state is difficult to measure by common sense. They may be extremely rational, or they may be paranoid and crazy. They may appear calm but be turbulent inside. They may have already lost their original self and true nature in countless "severing ties".
Almost no one can remain clear-headed on this path.
After all, sober people don't have that many emotions for them to distill.
The Child of Nature: "Thirdly, it is called the [Wanhua Lingzhang Dao]."
The Child of Nature: "Unlike the former two, the Celestial Music borrows external forces, the Heart-to-Heart Sounds digs into one's own heart, while the Myriad Transformations Spiritual Chapter cultivates the 'theory of music' itself, the return of all things to musical notes, and the weaving of reality by musical chapters."
The Child of Nature: "It regards music as a basic language for describing all things. Practitioners need to deeply understand and master all the elements that constitute music, such as pitch, interval, rhythm, harmony, form, and counterpoint, and explore the corresponding laws behind these elements."
Moreover, unlike the previous two, the [Myriad Transformations Spiritual Chapter Path] has a truly differentiated realm.
First stage: Recognizing elegance through sound.
When practitioners first delve into music theory, they can transcend ordinary hearing and perceive the inherent "original sound" of all things.
They can listen to the sounds of the wind, water, heartbeats, and metal, and decipher simple “notes” and “rhythms” from them.
This realm primarily cultivates "spiritual hearing" and "musical sense." It allows one to initially mobilize one's own spiritual power or spirit to simulate these natural sounds, producing subtle effects, such as causing ripples in the water of a cup at a specific frequency, or causing slight fluctuations in the listener's emotions.
Second Realm: Rhythmic Myriad Phenomena.
The practitioners began to systematically summarize the "sounds" of all things they perceived, forming preliminary "musical fragments".
They can use their spiritual power or special musical instruments to play melodies containing specific "musical rules," thereby influencing reality on a small scale.
For example, playing a piece of music that imitates the rhythm of plant growth can accelerate plant growth; playing a tune that simulates the resonant frequency of rocks can cause cracks to appear inside the rocks.
In this state, music begins to possess real power.
The third realm: Weaving sound into boundaries.
Practitioners can construct a stable "small musical movement barrier," within which the "musical rules" set by the practitioner will temporarily override some of the laws of nature.
For example: create a "weightless movement" barrier, which weakens gravity within its range; set up a "slow-motion range", which slightly slows down the flow of time within the barrier.
In this state, music begins to possess the ability to construct "temporary rules".
Fourth Realm: Harmony of the Universe.
Practitioners have reached an extremely high level of understanding of music theory, enabling them to capture and imitate a grander "world sound".
Space, time, energy, matter.
They can produce "symphonic movements" with a very wide influence.
A song called "Space" can achieve instantaneous teleportation; a segment of "Time" can rewind time; a song called "Element" can mobilize and manipulate the power of elements such as earth, wind, water, and fire on a large scale.
In this realm, music is powerful enough to influence the elements of the world.
Fifth Realm: Law Fugue
Practitioners were no longer content with imitation and interference; they began to try to understand and weave together the "sounds of laws" that constitute the world. They regarded different laws as different "voices" and studied their "contrapuntal relationships" and "harmonic rules".
In this realm, the musical scale has reached the level of rules.
The Sixth Realm: The Primal Music.
This is the highest realm of the [Myriad Transformations Spiritual Chapter Dao].
The practitioner needs to comprehend the "primordial voice" that constitutes all existence.
Their very existence began to transform into the concept of "music," with their soul, will, and understanding of music theory coalescing into a unique "primordial movement."
This movement is both the essence of its existence and the manifestation of its power.
Child of Nature: "The core of the [Wanhua Lingzhang Dao] lies in the theory of music itself."
The Child of Nature: "It regards music as another form of expression of the universe, a supreme 'language' that can be learned and mastered."
Child of Nature: "The practitioner is like a mathematician of music theory, who controls the rules of transformation between musical notes and existence."
The Child of Nature: "It does not depend on the degree of compatibility with the external forces of heaven and earth, nor on the control of its own inner emotional fluctuations. In theory, if one can fully master the 'Primordial Music,' one can understand, simulate, and even reconstruct all things by relying on music theory knowledge."
The Child of Nature: "Use music to convey the Way, and use sound to explain the Law."
Child of Nature: "However, the [Wanhua Lingzhang Dao] requires much higher levels of rational thinking and knowledge accumulation from its practitioners than the [Tianlai Xianyin Dao] and [Xinxiang Fanyin Dao].
The Child of Nature: "must possess the wisdom to discern the laws governing all things, the patience to deconstruct complex systems, and the insight to transform music theory into concrete rules."
In theory, practitioners who have achieved something in this system would also have a high level of achievement in mathematics.
Even mathematics is more important than music.
Bai Xuan did not doubt Touma Kazusa's talent in music, but he probably did not have the same talent in mathematics.
At this point, all three roads were revealed to Touma Kazusa and the others.
【Celestial Music Dao】: Unite with Heaven and Earth, borrow external forces, resonate with nature, and reach a level almost equal to that of Heaven and Earth.
【Heart-Mind Brahma Sound Path】: Cultivate your mind, transform emotions, and directly point to the soul. Danger and opportunity coexist, and the mental state of those at the peak is unpredictable.
【The Way of Myriad Transformations】: It explores the principles of music, interprets the laws, uses sound to convey the Way, prioritizes rationality, and has the highest upper limit, making it the most difficult to practice.
Touma Kazusa: "Although, but..."
Touma Kazusa: "Of these three cultivation systems, apart from the [Celestial Music Path], it seems I have no choice in the other two paths, right?"
