Mo Hua mendadak teringat soal pertanyaan lain:
"Mespeng, apakah Sekte Bumi merupakan sekte yang sangat besar?"
"Ya," Mr. Zhuang mengangguk.
"Seberapa besar sekte itu?"
Mr. Zhuang berkata, "Sekte Bumi adalah salah satu sekte terbesar di Negara Kun, namun untuk seberapa besar sebenarnya, kau tidak perlu repot memikatkan masalahnya. Ini bukan hal yang bisa kau bangun kontak dengan kini pada tingkat kultivasimu yang tidak luput. Apabila kau bertemu dengan ia, kau akan secara alami memahaminya."
Mo Hua mengangguk lalu bertanya lagi:
"Maka, apakah Penyuluh Tua keluarga Sin juga seseorang dari Sekte Bumi?"
Pendgapaan Mr. Zhuang berubah sedikit berat setelah memikirkannya:
"Meski ia bukan anggota Sekte Bumi, ia berkaitan dengan mereka."
"Maka bagaimana dengan kemahiran Sekte Bumi dalam Memahami Formasi Bumi Padat? Apakah mereka melalui Kesadaran Ilahi, berkomunikasi dengan esensi bumi?"
Mo Hua mengungkapkan keragamannya.
Ia ingin tahu apakah ada metode lain untuk memahami Makna Tao.
Walaupun dengan mudah memahami Makna Tao selama beberapa waktu menggunakan Prasasti Tao, itu membebani sang prasasti banyak. Kecuali benar-benar perlu, Mo Hua tidak memerlukan untuk melakukannya dalam masa depan.
Dan kultivator Sekte Bumi secara angguran tidakmemilikiPrasasti Tao.
TanpabantuanPrasasti Tao, apakahmetode yangdigunikannya untuk memikulMakna Tao?
Sebagaimana diketahui, Sekte Bumi dinamakan setelah "bumi", sehingga inti formasinya harus berhubungan dengan bumi; sehingga juga erat kaitannya dengan Makna Tao Bumi.
Mr. Zhuang tidak menjelaskan secara terperinci, sekadar memberi petunjuk:
"Makna Tao memerlukan Kesadaran Ilahi untuk memikulkannya..."
Mo Hua terkejut lalu memahami, "Adakah itu Peta Kontemplasi?"
Mr. Zhuang mengangguk, "Sekte Bumi memiliki Peta Kontemplasi yang diturunkan selama sepuluh ribu tahun, dikenal sebagai 'Diagram Emperor Langit dan Bumi'."
Mo Hua mendalam terharu dalam hatinya.
Emperor Langit dan Bumi!
Hanya dengan mendengarnya, ia merasakan kebesaran dan megahnya.
"Kau ingat apa yang kusampaikan kepadaimu tentang Peta Kontemplasi?" tanya Mr. Zhuang.
Mo Hua mengangguk.
Ia mengingat Mr. Zhuang berkata:
Peta Kontemplasi mencerminkan Kesadaran Ilahi dan pemahamannya tentang Dao Surgawi; artinya, yang dipikuli adalah "Dao" orang lain atau mungkin "Dao" dari sesuatu yang bukan manusia...
Setelah memikirkannya, Mo Hua kemudian berkata:
"Maka Makna Tao ini merupakan 'Dao bukan manusia'?"
Mr. Zhuang mengangguk lalu berkata, "Betul, Dao bukan manusia yang baik atau jahat, adil atau busuk. Beberapa bisa tampak baik, namun pada hakikatnya adalah jahat; yang lain mungkin tampak adil, namun sifat sebenarnya adalah busuk..."
"Dengan pengalaman yang terbatasmu dalam Kultivasi Tao, kau mungkin tidak dapat membedakan antara benar dan salah. Merentuhnya dengan cepat dapat mudah membuatmu terbiasa pada tampilan dan jatuh ke dalam bahaya yang mendalam."
"Itulah sebabnya di awal, kusampaikan kepadamu untuk tidak bersentuh atau bahkan memikirkannya."
Mo Hua tidak dapat menolak untuk mengangguk.
Seperti yang kuduga pada Lukisan Anak Tao yang diliatnya.
Secara ukuran, ia adalah Anak Tao yang tidak bermartibaru, namun pada hakikatnya adalah Jinjang Jahat berwajah hijau.
Jika tidak ada kemampuan Muanya untuk menampilkan Kesadaran Ilahi dan Menggambar Formasi, serta fakta bahwa Lautan Kesadarannya mengandung Prasasti Tao, mungkin Ia akan dipaksa oleh kejahatan Jinjang Jahat, kehilangan kontrol diri dan tidak lagi menjadi orang yang sama.
Mo Hua kemudian bertanya, "Adakah Peta Kontemplasi Sekte Bumi merupakan Peta Kontemplasi Dao yang Benar?"
"Harusnya iya," tanya Mr. Zhuang setelah memikirkannya.
Mo Hua terkejut, "Harusanya iya?"
Eksplor dunia baru di
Mr. Zhuang mengangguk, "Saya belum melihatnya, sehingga tidak tahu detailnya, karena itu kusambutnya harusnya."
"Namun diagram ini diturunkan dari leluhur Sekte Bumi, dan mereka telah memikkunya selama bertahun-tahun tanpa sebarang masalah. Jadi tidak ada masalah."
"Meski ada masalah, Sekte Bumi tidak akan memberitahimu mereka."
"Kita semua adalah kultivator, bukan telah menjadi lega, sehingga kita manusia, bukan surgawi. Sebagai manusia, Kesadaran Ilahiku terbatas, dan apa yang kita lihat sebagai bentuk sebenar mungkin masih hanyalah sebuah penampilan."
"Pengetahuan pada tingkat Kesadaran Ilahi adalah yang paling tidak tertangkap dan sulit untuk ditangkap, terutama bagi Peta Kontemplasi yang telah diturunkan selama lebih dari sepuluh ribu tahun..."
"Karena itu, apa hakiki sebenar diagram itu, sulit untuk dikatakan."
Mr. Zhuang menggulung alis, menyambungkan perasaannya.
Mo Hua memahami sebagian, mengangguk perlahan, lalu diam-diam bertanya:
"Mespeng, bila suatu hari aku bertemu dengan Peta Kontemplasi Sekte Bumi, bolehkah aku melihatnya?"
Pertanyaan itu membuat Mr. Zhuang diam.
Biasanya, mengingat Mo Hua dapat memikul Makna Dao Bumi, melihat Peta Kontemplasi Sekte Bumi seperti yang tidak berbahaya.
Namun Kesadaran Ilahi Mo Hua berbeda dari orang biasa, dan jika ia benar-benar melihat Peta Kontemplasi itu, tidak pasti apa yang akan Ia lihat.
Yang paling penting adalah, Mr. Zhuang takut akan kemungkinan komplikasi tak terduga.
Seperti pada Lukisan Anak Tao, di mana Anak Tao yang itu berubah menjadi hantu yang menghuni Lautan Kesaduran.
Pikiran Ilahi Anak Tao tidak kuat sehingga Mo Hua tidak terlukaa dan bahkan berhasil "menyerap" Jinjang Jahat yang Anak Tao itu telah menjadi, memperbaikinya dengan Pikiran Ilahinya.
Namun Diagram Emperor Langit dan Bumi Sekte Bumi adalah berbeda.
Pikiran Ilahinya dalam sana sangat menakutkan.
Apabila saatnya tiba, sulit untuk dikatakan siapa yang akan "memaksa" siapa lain...
Mr. Zhuang kemudian memperingatkan:
"Jika kau dapat menghindarinya, sebaiknya jangan melihat, namun jika kau melihat, janganlah melihat terlalu lama, cukup sepintar pandangan."
Mo Hua mengungkapkan kebingungannya, "Bukan tidak, Diagram Emperor Langit dan Bumi adalah diagram yang menyimpan Makna Dao Bumi dari langit dan bumi, bukan?"
Karena itu adalah Makna Dao Bumi dari langit dan bumi, seharusnya Pikiran Ilahi Dao yang Benar...
Mr. Zhuang meloreng:
"Itu adalah Makna Dao yang disembunyikan, dan Sekte Bumi menggunakannya untuk memikul, untuk memperoleh pemahaman tentang Formasi..."
"Tetapi bahkan tidak pasti konten yang disembunyikan benar adanya Makna Dao Bumi, karena orang luar tidak pernah melihatnya, dan bahkan jika mereka pernah melihatnya, tidak mungkin dapat merasakan hakikatnya..."
Mo Hua merasakan sesak di dada dan mengangguk ringan.
"Lebih-lebihnya, kau tidak akan dapat melihat 'Diagram Emperor Langit dan Bumi' yang lengkap," tambah Mr. Zhuang dengan napas tertahan.
Mo Hua sedikit terkejut, "Mengapa tidak?"
Mr. Zhuang menjelaskan, "Masalahnya ada pada empat kata 'Emperor Langit'."
"Karena kau adalah dari Sekte Bumi, dua kata 'setelah bumi' cocok untuk digunakan..."
Mr. Zhuang menunjuk ke arah langit, "Tetapi dua kata 'Emperor Langit', apakah kau mampu menggunakannya?"
Mo Hua terkejut.
Jika Sekte Bumi tidak dapat menggunakan "Emperor Langit", maka siapa yang bisa?
Mo Hua sedikit terkejut, "Pengadilan Tao?"
Mr. Zhuang mengangguk, "Tersebut 'Langit' bukanlah yang bisa diketahui oleh Sekte Bumi, sehingga diagram dibagi menjadi dua oleh Pengadilan Tao, Diagram Bumi disimpan di Sekte Bumi, dan Diagram Emperor Langit disimpan di Pengadilan Tao."
"Jika kau pergi ke Sekte Bumi, kau maksimal hanya dapat melihat 'Diagram Bumi', tidak akan dapat melihat 'Diagram Emperor Langit', jauh lebih tidak akan melihat 'Diagram Emperor Langit dan Bumi' yang lengkap."
Mo Hua terbuka mulut, lalu perlahan berkata:
"Adakah Pengadilan Tao... mencuri mereka?"
Mr. Zhuang mengangguk ekor, tampak tersenyum namun tidak tersenyum:
"Hal-hal dalam Pengadilan Tao, bila dijelaskan dari atas, disebut 'permintaan paksa', dan bila dijelaskan dari bawah, disebut 'sumbuman’, sekiranya 'setuju bersama', bagaimana mungkin disebut sebagai pencurian?"
Mo Hua mengelunsingkan senyumnya, sedikit terpukul:
"Diagram Emperor Langit dan Bumi telah diturunkan selama sepuluh ribu tahun, Pikiran Ilahinya harus sangat menakutkan, bukan? Benarakah secara paksa dibagi?"\
Mo Hua suddenly thought of another question:
"Master, is Earth Sect a very large sect?"
"Yes," Mr. Zhuang nodded.
"How large is it?"
Mr. Zhuang said, "Earth Sect is one of the largest sects in Kun State, but as for how large it actually is, you don’t need to worry about that now. It’s not something you can come into contact with at your current level of cultivation. When you encounter it, you will naturally understand."
Mo Hua nodded and then asked:
"Is the Old Ancestor of Sun Family also someone from Earth Sect?"
Mr. Zhuang’s gaze became slightly heavy as he pondered:
"Even if he is not a member of Earth Sect, he is related to it."
"Then how did Earth Sect comprehend the Thick Earth Formation? Also through Divine Sense, communicating with the essence of the earth?"
Mo Hua voiced his doubt.
He wanted to know if there were other methods to comprehend the Taoist Meaning.
Although one can comprehend Taoist Meaning for a short period using a Taoist Stele, it places a great burden on the stele.
Unless absolutely necessary, Mo Hua did not plan to do so in the future.
And the cultivators of Earth Sect presumably all lack a Taoist Stele.
Without the assistance of a Taoist Stele, what methods do they use to contemplate the Taoist Meaning?
After all, Earth Sect is named after "earth," so its core formation must be related to the earth; thus, it is also closely tied to the earth’s Taoist Meaning.
Mr. Zhuang did not explain in detail, simply hinting:
"Taoist Meaning needs Divine Sense to ’contemplate’..."
Mo Hua was startled and then understood, "A Contemplation Map?"
Mr. Zhuang nodded, "Earth Sect possesses a Contemplation Map that has been passed down for ten thousand years, known as the ’Emperor Heaven and Earth Diagram.’"
Mo Hua was inwardly shocked.
Emperor Heaven and Earth!
Just by hearing the name, he felt its vast and majestic presence.
"Do you remember what I told you about Contemplation Maps?" Mr. Zhuang asked.
Mo Hua nodded.
He remembered Mr. Zhuang saying:
Contemplation Maps reflect another’s Divine Sense and their understanding of the Heavenly Dao; in other words, what is contemplated is someone else’s "Dao" or perhaps the "Dao" of something non-human...
After thinking for a while, Mo Hua then said:
"Then does this Taoist Meaning belong to ’non-human’s Dao’?"
Mr. Zhuang nodded and said, "Exactly, non-human’s Dao can be good or evil, righteous or nefarious. Some may seem good, but in essence, they are evil; others may appear righteous, yet their true nature is nefarious..."
"With your limited experience in Tao Cultivation, you might not be able to discern the right from the wrong. Rushing into contemplation can easily lead you to be deceived by appearances and fall into dangerous territory."
"That’s why at the beginning, I told you not to touch or even think about Contemplation Maps."
Mo Hua couldn’t help but nod.
Just like the Landscape Taoist Child Painting he saw.
On the surface, it was an innocent Taoist Child, but in reality, it was a green-faced fanged Evil Ghost.
If it weren’t for his ability to manifest Divine Sense and Drawing Formation, and the fact that his Sea of Consciousness contained a Taoist Stele, he might have been possessed by the Evil Ghost’s malevolence, losing control of himself and no longer being the same person.
Mo Hua then asked, "Is the Contemplation Map of Earth Sect a map of righteous Divine Thought?"
"It should be," Mr. Zhuang considered his words.
Mo Hua was taken aback, "It should be?"
Explore new worlds at
Mr. Zhuang nodded, "I haven’t seen it, so I don’t know the details, hence I say it should be."
"But this diagram has been passed down by the ancestors of Earth Sect, and they have been contemplating it for many years without any issues. So there shouldn’t be any problems."
"Even if there are problems, Earth Sect would not inform outsiders."
"We are all cultivators, not having become immortals, so we are humans, not celestials. As humans, our Divine Sense is limited, and what we perceive as the true form may still only be an appearance."
"The knowledge at the level of Divine Sense is the most elusive and difficult to grasp, especially for a Contemplation Map that has been passed down for over ten thousand years..."
"Thus, what the true nature of this map is, is difficult to say."
Mr. Zhuang furrowed his brows, expressing his sentiment.
Mo Hua understood somewhat, nodded slightly, and then quietly asked:
"Master, if one day I come across this Contemplation Map, may I take a look at it?"
This question left Mr. Zhuang speechless.
Normally speaking, since Mo Hua could contemplate the Earth Dao Meaning, taking a look at Earth Sect’s Contemplation Map seemed harmless.
But Mo Hua’s Divine Sense was different from ordinary people’s, and if he really looked at this Contemplation Map, it was uncertain what he might perceive.
The most important thing was, Mr. Zhuang feared unexpected complications might arise.
Just like with the Landscape Taoist Child Painting, where the Taoist Child turned into a ghost taking residence in the Sea of Consciousness.
The Divine Thought of the Taoist Child was not strong, so Mo Hua was unharmed and even managed to "devour" the Evil Ghost that the Taoist Child had become, refining its Divine Thought.
But Earth Sect’s "Emperor Heaven and Earth Diagram" was different.
```
The Divine Thought inside there was terrifying to the extreme.
When the time comes, it’s hard to say who will "eat" whom...
Mr. Zhuang then cautioned:
"If you can avoid looking, it’s best not to look, but if you do look, be careful not to look too long, just steal a glance or two."
Mo Hua expressed his confusion, "Isn’t the Emperor Heaven and Earth Diagram sealed with the Earth Dao Meaning of the great land?"
Since it is the Earth Dao Meaning from heaven and earth, it should be the Divine Thought of the Righteous Dao...
Mr. Zhuang corrected:
"It’s the Dao Meaning that’s sealed, and the Earth Sect uses it to contemplate, to gain insight into Formation..."
"But whether the sealed content is truly the Earth Dao Meaning, that’s hard to tell, after all, outsiders have not seen it, and even if they have seen it, they might not be able to perceive the true nature..."
Mo Hua felt a slight chill in his heart and nodded his head.
"Moreover, you won’t be able to see the complete ’Emperor Heaven and Earth Diagram,’" Mr. Zhuang added with a sigh.
Mo Hua was somewhat taken aback, "Why not?"
Mr. Zhuang explained, "The problem lies with the four characters ’Emperor Heaven and Earth’."
"You are from the Earth Sect, so the two characters ’after earth’ are suitable for use..."
Mr. Zhuang pointed towards the sky, "But the two characters ’Emperor Heaven,’ can you afford to use them?"
Mo Hua was startled.
If the Earth Sect could not afford the "Emperor Heaven," then who could?
Mo Hua was slightly shocked, "Taoist Court?"
Mr. Zhuang nodded, "That ’Heaven’ is not something they from the Earth Sect can contemplate, so the diagram was split in two by the Taoist Court, the Earth Diagram is kept in the Earth Sect, and the Emperor Heaven Diagram is kept in the Taoist Court."
"If you go to the Earth Sect, you can at most only see the ’Earth Diagram,’ you can’t see the ’Emperor Heaven Diagram,’ let alone the complete ’Emperor Heaven and Earth Diagram.’"
Mo Hua opened his mouth, then softly said:
"Is the Taoist Court... robbing them?"
Mr. Zhuang raised an eyebrow, appearing to smile but not smiling:
"The matters of the Taoist Court, when described from above, are called ’requisition,’ and when described from below, they are called ’tribute,’ if it’s a ’mutual consent,’ how can it be called robbing?"
Mo Hua frowned, somewhat surprised:
"The Emperor Heaven and Earth Diagram has been passed down for ten thousand years, the Divine Thought within must be terrifying, right? Can it really be forcibly divided?"
Mr. Zhuang’s gaze grew sharp, and there was a hint of wariness in his expression:
"The Divine Thought inside the Emperor Heaven and Earth Diagram is indeed terrifying, but within the Taoist Court, those who have lived for ten thousand years, whose Cultivation reaches the heavens, those old demons are even more terrifying..."
Mo Hua felt a chill in his heart and quietly asked:
"Those old demons... elders, what realm have they reached?"
Mr. Zhuang merely rubbed Mo Hua’s head and said gently:
"Don’t aim too high and think about these matters; they are still too far from you."
Mo Hua nodded his head, then thought it over and felt it made sense.
He hadn’t even reached Foundation Establishment yet and had only been cultivating for about a decade; to think about these things was indeed too premature.
Immediately he felt a bit of regret:
"Doesn’t that mean I’ll never get to see the full Emperor Heaven and Earth Diagram?"
"That’s not necessarily so," said Mr. Zhuang.
Mo Hua’s eyes brightened.
Mr. Zhuang said with evident amusement:
"If you can make the Earth Sect bow down and pay homage, stand shoulder to shoulder with the Taoist Court, and combine the Emperor Heaven Diagram with the Earth Diagram into one, then naturally you will be able to contemplate the true Emperor Heaven and Earth Diagram."
Mo Hua gave an embarrassed laugh.
To be that powerful, one would surely have to become an immortal...
Mr. Zhuang was right.
One should not aim too high in the pursuit of Tao Cultivation.
It’s better to be down-to-earth and take things step by step, first figuring out a way to achieve Foundation Establishment.
...
After saying goodbye to Mr. Zhuang, Mo Hua began to think about what to do next.
He had already learned the Thick Earth Formation with its eleven Patterns, and after grasping the Dao Meaning, he could paint it on the ground, integrating the Formation Patterns with the earth and aligning the Spiritual Power with it.
What Mo Hua wanted to do next was to use the Thick Earth Formation to reconstruct the hundred acres of Spirit Field in Thousand Families Town.
Firstly, he intended to use the Thick Earth Formation to enrich the soil so that the Loose Cultivators of Thousand Families Town could have enough to eat.
Secondly, it was to apply what he learned by constructing the Formation within heaven and earth, to truly understand the mysteries of the Thick Earth Formation’s application.
Third, it was for the Earth Dao Meaning.
Man imitates the earth.
Through the Taoist Stele, he had contemplated the Earth Dao Meaning, becoming "acquainted" with it and having a bit of "rapport;" he could paint a Formation on the earth and merge the Patterns with it.
In return, he would also have to reciprocate, bringing the Formation comprehended from his own Dao Meaning to the earth, enriching it so that it would thrive and endure endlessly.
