Chapter: 6146

She feels her godly consciousness like a bubble at the bottom of the sea being squeezed by water pressure, racing towards the surface as fast as possible.

Suddenly, Ito Nana's godly consciousness leaps out of the surface of the consciousness.

The moment her godly consciousness is pushed out of the consciousness, Ito Nana suddenly opens her eyes and gasps for air, unaware of when she became completely drenched in sweat.

"She should have been pushed out by the Sea of Recognition, shouldn't she?" said Jingsheng Fashi beside her.

Ito Nana nodded slightly, saying with a hint of exhaustion, "Control one's godly consciousness and strive to ascend as much as possible. It's indeed extremely tiring, but I didn't expect the process of being pushed out by the Sea of Recognition would be even more grueling. The pressure is suffocating, and the most crucial thing is that the more I want to let go of myself, the more things related to myself keep popping up in my mind……"

Jingsheng Fashi spoke seriously, "To achieve enlightenment is indeed as difficult as climbing the heavens. Not only is success hard to come by, but the process of experiencing and trying is also challenging. When I was a poor monk, I spent eight whole years in this state, failing countless times. However, you are gifted with a higher nature than mine, so it shouldn't take too long."

As he spoke, Jingsheng Fashi added, "Just now, when you were introspecting, your expression changed several times in just a few seconds. It seems that many thoughts were bothering you, and to achieve a state of no-mind, one must first eliminate all desires and seeking. Otherwise, it would be difficult to succeed."

Ito Nana pursed her lips and spoke up, "I want to try again……"

When I heard that Nana wanted to try again, Jingsheng Fashi didn't think too much about it and nodded his head in agreement while saying, "If you want to smoothly enter the state of no-mind, discarding the seven emotions and six desires is the most stable method."

Nana fell silent for a moment, then muttered, "Cutting off the seven emotions and six desires, what's the point of living as a person?"

Jingsheng Fashi replied without hesitation, "Only by cutting off the seven emotions and six desires can one have the opportunity to become a Buddha, and thus be able to better benefit all sentient beings."

Nanaze shook her head and said sincerely, "I'll speak my mind frankly. Seeking enlightenment with one's heart, is it not a kind of seven emotions and six desires? Wanting to benefit all sentient beings, is it not also a kind of seven emotions and six desires? Benefiting others is not wrong, but not everyone is dissatisfied with their current state; if they are content and happy, what need would there be for others to help them?"

She continued, "Moreover, since I have my own family and loved ones, I cannot completely abandon them from my mind; even if I can put them all out of my mind, since I seek enlightenment with one's heart, pursuing enlightenment is another kind of desire, and the moment I enter the sea of consciousness, that instant is for the sake of seeking enlightenment. But then I would be deceiving myself or deceiving the sea of consciousness; I am coming for it, but then let it think I have no desires or requests, which is equivalent to deceiving it?"

Jingsheng Fashi blinked slightly and then sighed lightly, "The Master's words... are not without reason..."

He asked her again, "So, what does the Master plan to try this time?"

Nanaze shook her head, "I don't know; I just want to try again, regardless of success or failure, today I will no longer bother the Master."

Jingsheng Fashi said, "The poor monk has plenty of time, the Master need not hurry."

Nanaze nodded gratefully and then closed her eyes once more, using the method of introspection to bring her consciousness to the sea of consciousness.

As before, Nanaze was still trying her best to push her consciousness upward this time as well, but it was clear that her energy had been consumed a lot less than last time.

Although she felt exhausted, Nanaze was still straining to make this attempt.

It was also in this process that she finally understood why Jingsheng Fashi needed eight years to attain enlightenment; he was always so keen on pushing his consciousness upward, consuming a lot of energy and physical strength, and after trying twice, she didn't know how long it would take for her to recover from the mental fatigue.

Adding to that, attaining enlightenment is actually a process of continuous experimentation countless times, and it's already considered very short for one who has spent several years on their cultivation journey.

Nanaze exerted all her energy to push her consciousness to its limits, and when she realized that she had exhausted all her physical strength at once, she instantly relaxed, allowing her consciousness to freely fall from a high state.

During this downward process, various thoughts still wildly bombarded her consciousness, just like the last time, filled with memories of parents, family members, and her own daydreams.

Nanaze finally realized that it was precisely this feeling of free-falling that made her suddenly flooded with so many thoughts at this moment, which also gave people a sense of being on the brink of death. JrNovels.com
