NOVEL NEXT Chapter 4
Chapter 4: The Great Dream Heart Technique, Cultivate the Power of the Mind:
Hua Qiandi decided to give the technique a try.
If it didn’t work, he would simply stop. He began following the method outlined in the book.
The first stage of spiritual cultivation was entering meditation.
Meditation required a strong will and spiritual power to clear the mind of distractions, allowing for pure focus. This was the foundational level of spiritual cultivation.
In this meditative state, one’s potential could be greatly enhanced. However, achieving this stage was challenging because people naturally have many distracting thoughts, making it difficult to maintain pure focus.
The meditation stage was further divided into three sub-levels: minor concentration, major concentration, and constant concentration.
Minor concentration allowed one to occasionally enter meditation, though the state was unstable. Major concentration enabled frequent entry into meditation but couldn’t be maintained constantly. Only when one reached the state of constant concentration, where the mind remained unwavering, was considered a true achievement.
Hua Qiandi quickly mastered this state.
He progressed through the three levels and reached constant concentration.
Even while asleep, he became aware that he was dreaming and could observe everything in the dream while remaining conscious of the world outside. It was as if he had developed a second consciousness—one that was cold, detached, and entirely rational.
In this state, Hua Qiandi could make decisions based on pure logic, free from emotional influence. He then advanced to the second stage of spiritual cultivation.
The second major stage is called ‘fetal breath.’ This was when the mind began to influence the body. Through mind power, one could absorb nutrients and energy from the environment, shaping the body into a perfect form, strengthening bones and muscles, enhancing organs, and creating a type of biological energy.
At this stage, Hua Qiandi fully entered the fetal breath state.
Using his mind, he began to purify his body, removing toxins and waste, revitalizing cells, and strengthening his physique. His spiritual power became so precise that it affected every cell in his body.
After an unknown amount of time, the purification process ended, and Hua Qiandi reached the third realm of spiritual cultivation—”sitting and forgetting.”
In this state, one forgets the body and intellect, letting go of all ties to physical and mental constraints, and becomes one with the Dao. The mind could now interact with external energies. When someone reached this stage, their powerful mind would align with the natural world, achieving unity with the cosmos, and transcending self and object.
In this state, the body ceases to be a mere physical form; it becomes part of the world itself. This unity allows one to draw immense power from the environment, giving access to nearly limitless abilities. This realm is akin to the third level of cultivation among cultivators—the Heaven and Man Realm.
When a cultivator reaches this level, their body connects with heaven and earth, enabling them to harness nature’s forces to unleash power several times, or even ten times, stronger than before. However, this is not true unity with nature but a natural progression in martial arts.
At this moment, Hua Qiandi achieved true unity of Heaven and Man Realm, allowing him to wield power hundreds of times greater than before. It was almost like possessing a supernatural ability.
As the sun rose, a ray of sunlight streamed in, warming the room. Hua Qiandi opened his eyes. It was morning. He checked his status.

His progress was remarkable.
His cultivation had advanced, bypassing the acquired and his Innate Realm cultivation base reached the Heaven and Man Realm. His physique, previously an ordinary low-level martial arts body, had evolved into a top combat physique due to his cultivation and the influence of the mind.
Such a physique wasn’t the very best within the Heavenly Demonic Sect , but it was still among the top fifty. Above him were rare and powerful physiques like the royal bodies, imperial bodies, and divine bodies.
Additionally, Hua Qiandi now possessed a terrifying spiritual power which allowed him to unleash combat strength hundreds of times greater than before—a force few could withstand. His progress that night had been tremendous.
“Thank you, Tu Shan! Thank you, old man!” Hua Qiandi suddenly frowned. His body had expelled a significant amount of dirt, leaving him dirty and smelly. He decided to clean up before going out.
With a simple shake of his body, Hua Qiandi shed his dirty clothes and expelled the dirt.
A gust of wind blew through the enclosed space, carrying the debris out of the house.
Then, water condensed around him, cleansing his body. This was the result of his mind reaching the state of “sitting and forgetting,” allowing him to manipulate external energy at will.
Such control was beyond the reach of ordinary people, and even those who could achieve it would struggle to do so with the same precision.
After cleansing himself, Hua Qiandi put on clean clothes and used his mind to suppress his aura, making him appear as if he were just an ordinary martial artist. He then headed to the competition arena.
By this time, the arena was already crowded.
People had gathered, eager to see Hua Qiandi get beaten, hurling insults in an attempt to unsettle him. However, his mind had reached the state of “sitting and forgetting,” and he remained unaffected by praise or insult, unmoved by the world around him.
He stood calmly at one end of the arena, closed his eyes and relaxed.
In the crowd, a charming woman in black robes exclaimed, “Junior Brother Hua looks extraordinary. His skin has become crystal clear, and he carries an aura of rebirth!”
“Indeed,” remarked a tall, mighty man with a large axe on his shoulder, resembling an ancient demon god. “He seems unfazed by honor or disgrace, undisturbed by the world. Impressive.”
A handsome man beside him sneered, “What does it matter if he looks extraordinary? Could he have turned the world upside down overnight? Today, he’ll either die or be crippled, no matter who intervenes!”
