Cultivation! My Augmented Statuses Have Unlimited Duration-Chapter 101: Parallel Mind

Jiang Li took out a thin stack of wood pieces from a cloth bag hanging on his belt.

Each and every one of them was engraved with exquisite, complicated magical runes.

Jiang Li spat out a mouthful of spiritual qi and blew it onto the stack of wooden tablets. Then, he suddenly shook his hand, and dozens of wooden tablets instantly scattered into the air. After flying to a certain height, they suddenly stopped, just like a floating staircase suspended in the air.

These were rune wood pieces personally carved by Jiang Li. The runes carved on them were naturally 'floating'. This thing could not be considered a magic artifact.

Dozens of wood pieces floated in the air. Some of them even floated beside the senior brother.

The senior brother of the Demon Vanquishing Hall immediately sensed that something was amiss. As he accelerated into the sky, he waved the artifact in his hand in an attempt to shatter the wood pieces.

However, it was already too late.

The rock beneath his feet exploded, and Jiang Li's figure transformed into an afterimage as he soared into the sky. The thin pieces of wood shattered with each step, but the foothold that was provided in that instant was sufficient to support his high speed flight.

With just a breath, Jiang Li appeared above that senior brother.

He put a hand on the other's shoulder.

"Go down!"

In the next moment, a huge force emerged from Jiang Li's palm and pressed down on his shoulder. That senior brother's backbone suffered a heavy pressure that he should not have been able to endure at his age, and it instantly formed an exaggerated "S" shape before falling to the ground.

With a bang, a large amount of dust was created.

Jiang Li casually grabbed a piece of wood by his side and lightly placed it under his feet before slowly floating down.

"Junior Brother Jiang Li wins!"

The female cultivator from the Rejuvenation Hall, who was the temporary referee, announced loudly.

Jiang Li stepped forward and pulled his senior brother up.

"Senior Brother, I'm sorry. Are you alright?"

He put on a shy expression as if he was still inexperienced in the ways of the world. He did not show any arrogance because of his victory or even look down on his fellow disciples. Instead, he always acted very modestly and politely.

This was also the reason why Jiang Li's reputation in the Demon Vanquishing Hall was still extremely good despite beating up quite a number of people recently.

It felt pretty good to have an expert, who could beat them up, call them senior brother every day.

"Junior Brother Jiang Li, your strength has grown tremendously."

"No, no, Junior Sister Qi Yu, quickly heal me!"

The senior brother supported his waist and stood up. It was not easy for him to straighten his spine under the effects of the healing spell.

After he signaled Jiang Li with his eyes, he directly leaned towards Senior Sister Qi Yu's broad chest.

Slam!

How could Senior Sister Qi Yu not know this guy's character? She directly kicked his waist with practiced ease, causing the senior brother to grimace in pain and be unable to stand up for a long time.

"Junior Brother, don't listen to his nonsense. This guy can take a beating. You can feel free to beat him to death next time!"

Jiang Li smiled and hurriedly agreed.

The relationship between the Demon Vanquishing Hall and the Rejuvenation Hall had been close for a long time. There were also many disciples who directly became Dao Companions with each other.

It was said that many senior brothers had entered the Demon Vanquishing Hall because of the medical female disciples of Rejuvenation Hall.

After chatting with his senior brothers and sisters for a while, Jiang Li said that he had something to do and returned to his courtyard.

The reason why Jiang Li was so anxious was not because of anything else, but because…

[Slowly chanting the Great Carefree Bodhisattva Heart Sutra: Level of Completion (9.9/3000), Completion rises by 0.1 everyday. Duration: ∞] (−)

His Bodhisattva Heart Sutra's progress had already reached (9.9/3000). According to his estimation, he was only a few hours away from hitting a new level.

He was just one step away, naturally, he could not wait to rush back.

However, he still cautiously activated two layers of protective array formations. Only then did Jiang Li sit cross-legged in the cultivation chamber.

Jiang Li, who had obtained a small portion of Elder Duan Shuang's inheritance, no longer cared about the expenditure of those one or two medium-grade spirit stones. Safety was the priority.

Soon, with the help of the [Focused Spirit] status, the muttering in his ears became clearer. Jiang Li entered the meditation state again.

"Avalokiteśvara, when practising deeply in Prajñā Pāramitā, looked down and beheld that five Skandhas were all empty, and was saved from all suffering and difficulty."

"Because nothing is attained, he becomes a Bodhisattva; Through having relied on the Prajñā Pāramitā, he dwells without thought-impediments."

"Because there is no impediment, he is not afraid and he leaves distorted dream-thinking far behind, and in the end he attains Nirvāna, for all those who appear as him in the three periods of time."

The number 9.9 gradually blurred and when it was clear again, it was already 10.

The first level of the spirit refinement cultivation method, Great Carefree Bodhisattva Heart Sutra, was finally complete!

Jiang Li could not wait to start cultivating it.

Because he had listened to the Heart Sutra for a long time, Jiang Li was actually quite familiar with most of the content. After reading it completely, he quickly understood many of the key points.

The characteristics of "Great Carefree Bodhisattva Heart Sutra" lay in the two aspects of "Great Carefree" and "Bodhisattva".

This cultivation method was not like some unreliable ancient cultivation methods. It did not need some precious materials that had long disappeared from the ancient era.

This spirit refinement cultivation method was quite carefree indeed. It gives the ability to observe the sounds of all forms in the world. The main function was to develop a kind of understanding of life and the world. The deeper one's understanding was, the better the effect.

There was no material need during this period.

Of course, if he had the Bodhi Tree and Bodhi Seed to aid in his cultivation, it was not impossible for Jiang Li to sit idle for three years and ascend to immortality.

However, Jiang Li was poor and could only cultivate pitifully.

"Bodhisattva" referred to the cultivation goal.

"Great Carefree" referred to the method to achieve the goal.

As the saying went, a world in a single flower, a Bodhi in a single leaf. The concept of "Great Carefree" was to become one with everything and experience the withering of time, joy, separation, life, and death…

Yeah… that sounded a little cryptic.

In simpler terms, it was to separate a secondary soul akin to a parallel mind from his consciousness and throw it into the mortal world of all living things to reincarnate and comprehend the cycle of life.

The target could be a piece of grass, a worm, or a person. When it died and underwent reincarnation, the cultivator would be able to obtain a transformation and thorough comprehension.

It could be said to be a kind of lazy cultivation method that scattered seeds now to harvest fruits the following year.

As long as the cultivator's Enlightenment was sufficient, had enough fortuitous opportunities, as well as long lifespan and patience, they would be able to send out enough parallel minds to become an Immortal or Buddha by doing nothing.

It was indeed a great method.

Jiang Li was very satisfied with this Heart Sutra. After preparing for a moment, he closed his eyes again.

He planned to try circulating the Heart Sutra and create a parallel mind to see what it was like.

He silently recited the Heart Sutra in his mind, then he made an orchid flower gesture with his fingers while chanting.

The two eyeballs under Jiang Li's eyelids moved, and his brain felt numb as if it had split into two.

In his sea of consciousness, the main consciousness that looked exactly like him flashed with golden light.

Then, an extremely small Jiang Li jumped out from between his eyebrows.

This feeling was really strange.

The two minds were completely connected. He knew that he was himself, but he could think of two different things at the same time without interfering with each other.

This was not schizophrenia, nor did he develop multiple personalities. It was just the parallel mind of Jiang Li as an individual.

After Jiang Li carefully sensed that feeling, he realized that his worries from before were completely unnecessary.

The cloned consciousness would rebel against the main body? The sea of consciousness would become chaotic and turn him into a lunatic?

Using an analogy, would a player suddenly attack their main account's character using their sub account? Jiang Li was the only player controlling his characters, but he could now play on two accounts at once.

After all, it was an ancient mighty figure's cultivation method. How could there be such a low-level problem?
