PS: On the last day of the month, friends, if you have a vote, please cast it, just like Hou Niao ascending to the Upper Realm, give the old and lazy a little push...
.........
Hou Niao took a crucial step in his cultivation journey; only from today could he proudly say, "I am a cultivator."
As described in the Daoist Record, the true natural Great Mahayana is not reliant on any external objects at all; cultivation is natural, acting in accordance with the situation, so why should one insert all sorts of mundane things into it?
Seated in meditation, Hou Niao remained still, his ascension to the Upper Realm was successful, yet there were still many tasks to be done;
First, stabilize the realm, which required constant transfer of mana to familiarize the dantian and meridians with this brand-new sensation. After dozens of transfers and smooth circulation, once his dantian mana operated freely without any signs of reverting back to spiritual power, he could finally relax.
