Looking at Su Qingqin that was standing in the sky composed, Hong Jun and the other two old men couldn't help but feel envious.
Even grandmasters couldn't be able to accomplish this.
Grandmasters after all focus on intention and this is something that has a lot to do with the will of a person. It doesn't have anything to do with a technique.
Over the years, Hong Jun has learned this and come to understand a lot by just communicating with Su Qingqin.
According to her, the reason why grandmasters have to cultivate intention was simple. Generate a strong enough obsession that can even take physical form when it reached perfection, it was nothing before true meaning.
She even went further and informed him, that at most it could be seen as the transformation of spirit.
He did find merit to this, and even managed to hear her thoughts on classification.
Su Qingqin put it into three stages, and the first stage was will that could be accomplished through enduring pain without collapsing or giving up. For those that practice martial arts genuinely without giving up, this stage can be passed without much issue.
The next stage is the obsession and finally the last stage being the state state of mind. This was probably not a big issue for Su Qingqin due to the fact her soul was of some powerful existence.
She passed this stage easily, as for the true meaning, she probably took her time because it was foundation stage.
In Hong Jun's eyes though, she just flashed by and was practicing as fast as drinking water.
she even went further to claim, without a strong enough obsession, it was impossible to get in touch with Dao. Her meaning was, that intent was the gateway to Dao.
Clearly what she said has been kept in his mind.
To put it simply, grandmasters where after all still mortals and even those with stronger intent comprehended. It was different for those that had grasped true meaning as they where now coming in contact with the world and understanding it's operation.
Even though it was far from coming in contact with Dao, it was a first step. She called it the foundation. Once the foundation was set, it couldn't be changed.
He had been attempting to understand himself and pass this huddle, but he was not like the two old men. They were able to accomplish something easily, due to the accumulation of age.
Their state of mind was close to sublimation.
That being the case, they just needed a trigger for them to completely go further and the best proven path is visiting the Ruins again, after all different experiences and opportunities can Enlighten people let alone allowing the state of mind to transform.
What the three of them felt when they looked at Su Qingqin's figure at the moment standing in the sky was not just awe, but also desire.
Right! It is always the desire of any human to be able to escape gravity's constraints and move freely in the air.
Even among the Qi refiners, only after one has formed a golden core can they be able to float in the air. Unless they used external aid such as floating on swords for foundation establishment realm sword users.
The figure in the sky was just eye catching and even more so, a massive phantom startef to rise from behind her.
This time, Hong Jun saw it clearly, it was a massive head, several tens of meters wide. It rose and along with it, a body was also appearing from nothingness.
It was just that the three of them didn't even have time to observe it clearly, before the spiritual pressure from the massive golden phantom that resembled a cold, indifferent Su Qingqin pushed them to the ground.
The old men beside Hong Jun seemed to have some enlightenment in this moment and and put on resistance. Hong Jun lay on his stomach and didn't put up much of resistance to this foece.
Surprisingly, due to this actions, he actually felt the pressure acting on him was slowly vanishing.
Raising his head, he saw the veins appearing on the heads of the old men.
"Huh! Why are you guys resisting so fiercely?"
Listening to Hong Jun's crazy words, the old men actually felt the pressure on them was doubling.
"You!" Old master Ye was already pissed off when he heard this.
"What is this Unfilial Clan Master doing?" He complained in his head, but Old man Gu Tian could understand what he was thinking by just looking at those eyes.
"Clan master has not shame at all. But then again, that is his wife. It doesn't matter if he lies down flat. Us old guys can't go the same direction can we?" He complained secretly.
When they realized Hong Jun had no plans of using this pressure to advance, they ignored him.
It was just that he just lay there looking in the sky with a strange expression.
"So there are differences between people. Some will rise up to resist and others lay down and accept their fate. At the end of the day, whatever path one choses, an outcome it to be expected. But the most important thing at the end of the day is accepting the outcome of one's choice even if you might not like it." He looked at the two struggling old fellows and some kind of light of wisdom flashers in his eyes.
Without even realizing it, an ethereal aura spread out from him.
He felt more refreshed and his perspective changed.
He was standing before a massive gate. It gave off a majestic, supreme pressure that made him have the urge to retreat.
"Interesting! Is this the Innate Gate that my wife mentioned? She said she didn't understand much but only knew that by pushing this gate, one can walk into the Xiantian realm." Hong Jun had a strange expression on his face.
At the moment this was said, he saw the two old guys having a solemn expression and didn't understand. Only now did he seem to grasp something.
"So this fellows had already come in contact with the Innate Gate. No wonder they had such a solemn expression. Before this gate, I feel insignificant. It is already good enough that I haven't retreated, how to move forward." He was already aware of the answer.
It was also at this moment that he understood what Su Qingqin meant when she claimed without having perfected intent even someone that grasped some true meaning could never enter Xiantian realm.
He actually didn't believe this and only at this moment did he understand.
Intention was more like the courage to move forward. Without perfecting it, courage to even approach the Inate Gate was non-existent.
"State of mind should go hand in hand with enlightenment. As long as I can reach a stage of realization, it would be beneficial to me." He was also able to tell something important at this moment.
