Chapter 604: 264: State of Mind Ascends Again, Loneliness of the Master (Ask for Monthly Pass)_1 Chapter 604: 264: State of Mind Ascends Again, Loneliness of the Master (Ask for Monthly Pass)_1 Five days in heaven, five years on earth.
Inside the Heavenly Immortal Palace, enveloped and surrounded by azure Heavenly Immortal Dao Power, it gives the illusion of being in the Heaven Court, bearing the traces of time.
Chen Dengming had been immersed in cultivation for five years.
In the first year, he could maintain his composure, with a stable state of mind and continuous cultivation.
By the second year, feelings of discomfort started to emerge.
He felt as though he was drawn into a prison, shackling himself into a small box.
There was nothing else apart from practicing the Longevity Technique of Daoism and other skills.
...
He cursed at his previous life’s writers of martial and immortal fantasy novels, for they were mere daydreamers.
The idea of staying idle in a small patch of earth, cultivating day in and day out, and passing an unknowingly long span in a flash without feeling anything was total crap.
Time is the best at wearing down humans, and it is also the best test for people.
Even though his physique was now robust, no matter how long he sat, he would not develop hemorrhoids.
He didn’t have to worry about eating or eliminating waste anymore, only focusing on cultivation.
However, it was impossible to constantly keep the mind in a dreamlike state; he had to think.
No matter how focused he was, he would occasionally feel the boredom and the torment of time whenever he was lucid.
He had also spent years in secluded cultivation when he made a breakthrough in his Golden Core in the past.
But that was not limited to a small piece of land with a radius of several yards.
He was in the middle of the mountain gate, where he could walk around and often interact with his senior sister, improve his sentiment, watch the Mini Array Spirit dance, and kill boredom.
Now, however, he was only committed to cultivating alone in the Heavenly Immortal Palace, and he didn’t dare to summon the Mini Array Spirit of the Soul House.
After all, the Mini Array Spirit did not possess the Heavenly Immortal Dao Power, and it was difficult to maintain its lifespan in an environment where traces of years were left behind without it being stripped away.
“So it is said, people are alive because their thoughts and emotions are alive.
Living people will not be suffocated by their urine, and it is difficult for a living person to be imprisoned in one place for ten or twenty years and only do one thing.
I previously thought that the ancestor only gave five years, which was too little, but it was me who underestimated myself.
If this takes a hundred years, people might go crazy.”
“But as long as I persist and succeed, it will prove that my willpower is unyielding, I can stand loneliness, and masters are lonely…”
Chen Dengming didn’t consider himself a master, he was just an ordinary person in his previous life.
After crossing over, he had more experiences, aspects of constancy, and other aspects that gradually honed him into a master.
But in fact, looking back, he was just an ordinary crosser.
Like most other crossers, his mentality was not strong.
Fear of death, loneliness, hunger, and being caught and tortured by the natives were the most realistic crosser states.
In this self-reflection and reminiscence, Chen Dengming gradually realized the benefits and his state of mind seemed to be more clear and transparent.
In the third and fourth years, his state of mind was stable, and he had a calm mentality.
With a mindset similar to the Sitting and Forgetting Dao and the A Bowl of Water Method, he let his restless emotions either fade into a state of emptiness or settle down like impurities in a bowl of water…
By the blink of the fifth year, when the azure Heavenly Immortal Dao Power around him dispersed, Chen Dengming woke up peacefully from his dedicated cultivation state.
At this moment, he was neither joyous nor sad, nor was he lost because of the passage of long and lengthy five years, but his brain was extraordinarily clear, and his state of mind was extraordinarily transparent.
By this time, he knew that the state of mind that he wanted but could not get five years ago has now been improved.
Time and years indeed honed people’s mentality.
If someone doesn’t fear being an enemy of time, isn’t afraid of the passage of long years, can stand loneliness, then their mentality is definitely stable enough.
After practicing for five years, his Longevity Technique had already broken through two levels and reached a proficiency of more than seventy thousand in the third level.
It only took about three more years of cultivation to break through the third level and enter the middle stage of Golden Core.
However, at this moment he only felt the gain of the elevation of his state of mind was even more precious than the advancement of his skill.
“Daoist, you have done very well.
In the past five years, you have not taken a day off, you have been persistently cultivating.
With such a mentality, as well as such patience and self-control, it’s no wonder that you were chosen to inherit the heart of the Human Immortal Dao System…”
Just then, the grand voice of the ancestor resonated from above, echoing around the Palace.
Chen Dengming looked up, saw the visage of the ancestor, and immediately performed a salutation.
“Disciple thanks the ancestor for granting five years of cultivation time.”
The features of the ancestor remained cold and calm as he responded.
“You need not thank me.
It was your heart that conquered time, you used time, not the other way around.

Many people, even if given a long period, only squander their time and become slaves to it.
Such people are destined to fail to attain longevity.
We cultivators of the Longevity Sect seek longevity.
We should not waste our time just because we live longer.
Ignoring time is the same as ignoring one’s pursuit, and will eventually lead to loss…
This period of five years should have been very precious to you.”
Chen Dengming felt deeply moved and immediately bowed deeply, “Disciple appreciates the teaching!”
Indeed, time is the most numbing thing, and if caught off guard, time will quietly slip away.
In his previous life, many people spent their days playing games on their phones without accomplishing anything, and suddenly the day was over, and they lamented how quickly time passed.
In this life, many cultivators were the same, claiming to diligently practice, only to slack off and let the days pass.
In the end, they achieved nothing despite their hard work.
