Chapter 292: Fought Out
Along the way, joking and laughing, I led Third Son to a place next door called “Damn King’s Bastion”.
When I saw the widow, I had Third Son fetch water for her. The main point was to be helpful and joyful.
The purpose was to allow this dragon to temper his disposition in the mortal world, so that he could help others without expecting rewards and withstand the temptations of mature women.
These were all intentionally done by me.
As the saying goes, dragons are inherently lustful. Dragons are very lecherous creatures and like to spread their affections.
As the saying goes, a dragon has nine sons, and each is different.
The one born of a dragon and a cow is named Qiú Niú, who is gentle and likes music. The one born of a dragon and a jackal is named Yá Zì, who has a narrow mind and is bloodthirsty and aggressive. The one born of a dragon and a bird is called Cháo Fēng, who likes adventure and gazing from high places. The one born of a dragon and a toad is called Pú Láo, who has a loud voice and likes to shout. The one born of a dragon and a lion is called Suān Ní, who is majestic and dignified, preferring peace over fighting. The one born of a dragon and a turtle is called Bà Xià, who resembles a turtle with fangs in its mouth and is good at carrying weight. The one born of a dragon and a tiger is called Bì Àn, who is majestic and just. The one born of a dragon and an Azure Dragon is named Fù Xì, who likes to coil around stone tablets. The one born of a dragon and a carp is called Chī Wěn, who has a vigorous appetite and even swallows fire.
But none of this matters. What I fear most is Third Son getting too accustomed to the mortal world, falling for a human girl, and then having a little dragon-human hybrid.
Therefore, I used this method to help him cultivate and control his lustful desires.
Before I sent him, I deliberately threatened him, saying that if he dared to go too far, I would chop off his dragon penis, soak it in wine, and send it to his father to replenish his health, so his father could have him reborn. If that happened, he wouldn’t be called Third Son anymore; I would directly call him the Third Daughter of the East Sea, Little Third Daughter.
He was so scared that his father’s buttocks were clenched, and his legs were trembling as he walked before leaving.
And me? How could I be like him? I lay leisurely on a hill not far from King’s Bastion, plucked a tender green blade of grass, and held it in my mouth, my gaze following the ever-changing clouds in the sky, feeling the gentle breeze, hehehe, it felt so comfortable.
The days passed like this, and through the process of being helpful and joyful, Third Son gradually gained control over his beastly desires.
Of course, this wasn’t achieved in a day or two. In the beginning, after fetching water for people, he always wanted to develop some feelings with them, which caused his internal evil fire to surge, and he wanted to do something outrageous. Whenever this happened, my voice would echo in his heart: “What’s wrong, Third Daughter? Don’t you want that little dragon penis anymore? If you don’t want it, I’ll soak it in wine for your father, okay?”
Startled, he instantly sobered up, sweat pouring down his body, and he shivered all over.
The reason I trained him this way is not because I, as the Big Brother, am too cruel. This method is similar to how ordinary cultivators in the mortal world use precepts to discipline themselves. It’s called insufficient disposition, so use rules to compensate.
But when his disposition is sufficiently tempered, it will be the opposite of now. He will discipline himself according to the rules generated from his own heart, without needing external aids. What should be done and what should not be done will be taught by his original heart.
This is the difference between rule governing the heart and heart generating rules.
However, with a part of my guidance in this process of the heart generating rules, his original heart sometimes takes on my appearance to govern him, and at the same time, he bestows upon his original heart the image of this teacher, a human form.
Simply put, I planted Bodhi in his heart, and this Bodhi sometimes guides him in my image. This is the root cause of not seeking a master externally, and it is also the best manifestation of having a master in one’s heart.
In other words, when someone obtains my method, whenever external evil attacks, they will recall some of my curse-like words, such as: “Go to your mother! Talking like that, can someone as awesome as me be afraid of you? Don’t you even see who my Big Brother is?”
As soon as this thought arises in his heart, he instantly feels a divine power blessing, his internal energy surges, and confidence, bravery, and Overbearing Qi are born.
All demons retreat. If they don’t retreat, those who follow me either use them to sharpen their blades or want to eat them. Can they not retreat? If they don’t retreat, they get beaten until they bow down and submit.
This is self-assurance, the self-assurance to face evil without fear and instead act boldly. It is also called magnanimity; when magnanimity is great, one can swallow heaven and earth, swallowing all intangible things in the world.
All inner demons will involuntarily feel fear and reverence when they see a person with such vigorous Yang Energy. It’s as if they’ve encountered their natural predator, and they dare not come close, only fleeing. Because the powerful strength and firm will emanating from this inner heart are enough to make any wicked inner demon tremble.
The difference between having a master and not having a master lies in these four words: peace of mind and self-assurance.
In the mortal world, some masters teach you to draw talismans, while others teach you to chant incantations, using these methods to strengthen your Yang Energy and courage.
I am different from ordinary people. I teach you to eat it. That’s what we do, so the power is naturally different, obviously.
Others teach you to stabilize your mind and just watch your thoughts without acting on them. If you don’t act, just watching, won’t they still follow their course?
I teach you to subdue it. After you subdue it, you will see that you can watch it without intervening, and it won’t cause much trouble.
My toughness was purely fought for; it wasn’t prayed for, nor was it begged for. It was entirely achieved through my own will and a fierce battle with deviant ways, fighting them until they dared not look up and prostrated themselves before me. Only then did I mercifully reconcile with them.
If I had been cowardly, could they have reconciled with me? Wouldn’t they have bullied me even more? It is precisely because I was fierce and tough that they reconciled with me and dared not be my enemy.
This self-confidence, this Overbearing Qi, did not come out of nowhere. It was carved out by my sword by sword, and it was cultivated after I subdued my ego and removed my self perspective. What’s truly amazing is that after I transcended, I transformed the ego and selflessness into opposition again, and then transcended again, not being dominated by the perspective of transcending the ego.
The source of all my strength comes from reaching this level of awesomeness; it’s not that I’m awesome just because I say I am, or confident just because I think I am.
To put it nicely, it was cultivated; to put it awesomely, it was realized. To put it bluntly, who can guide someone like me? Many people notice a hint of arrogance in my speech, which is unavoidable.
Because I blazed a trail of arrogance, fighting all my inner demons into submission, and only then did this arrogant Overbearing Qi emerge.
If I didn’t have this experience, how could I be arrogant? If you asked me to be arrogant, I wouldn’t even know how to brag.
But after achieving it? Humility is my quality, and so is arrogance.
If you think I am self-righteous and talking to myself, you can absolutely try it. Try it first to see if it works, and then we can talk.
Or, you can find a scripture and see if you, like me, can automatically see the cultivation process and methods as if you had a built-in translator, and then automatically cultivate.
This is absolutely a gift for cultivating immortality, hehehehe.
