Seven years of mortal life not only made him achieve success in woodcarving, but also laid a solid foundation for his future practice. The reunion with Yun Quezi promoted his deep understanding of the mysterious field of “artistic conception”, and became a key opportunity for him to break through himself.
1. The deep meaning behind “transforming into the world”
Wang Lin chose to transform into the world, which is a way of “giving up and gaining” in practice. These seven years of mortal experience are not a waste of time, but to make him better understand the boundary between “mortal” and “immortal”. He took root in the capital with his woodcarving skills. This is his way of integrating into the world and also gave him a stable life in the world. The unexpected reunion with Yun Quezi, on the surface, was an accident, but in fact it was arranged by God. It was in this coincidence that Yun Quezi’s “crazy artistic conception” allowed Wang Lin to make breakthroughs in both woodcarving creation and practice.
2. The profound influence of “crazy artistic conception”
Yuan Quezi showed a way of cultivation beyond the norm with crazy artistic conception, which can mobilize the spiritual power of heaven and earth at will, and is a very dangerous and potential force. In Wang Lin’s wood carvings, this crazy power began to manifest. Although the beasts he carved before were lifelike, they lacked a soul. But after being inspired by the crazy artistic conception, Wang Lin’s carvings began to exude an indescribable vitality and appeal. This transformation made his works no longer just a presentation of skills, but a reconstruction of life. This is not only an artistic sublimation, but also a portrayal of his inner world.
3. The Battle of Baiyun Sect: The collision of artistic conception and cultivation
Afterwards, Yun Quezi took Wang Lin to Baiyun Sect to challenge the sect. This battle was not only a physical confrontation, but also a confrontation between spirit and artistic conception. The five great masters of Baiyun Sect, each of them has his own unique artistic conception, such as time, ruthlessness, and comfort. These artistic conceptions are like invisible spiritual forces, testing Wang Lin’s character and will. In particular, the artistic conception of years made Wang Lin feel as if he was feeling the cruel passage of time; the artistic conception of ruthlessness pushed him to the extreme of emotion, almost making him fall into an emotional despair from which he could not extricate himself; and the artistic conception of ease was the most hidden, attempting to make Wang Lin give up resistance and immerse himself in the illusory beauty.
However, Yun Quezi’s apparent “hands-off shopkeeper” role was actually a means of training. Whenever Wang Lin faced a life-and-death crisis, he would always quietly lend a hand and give Wang Lin timely help, but never interfere too much. This “seemingly letting go, but actually guiding” method, on the contrary, allowed Wang Lin to break through his own practice bottleneck in the limit, and also made him have a deeper understanding of artistic conception.
4. From wood carving to artistic conception: the sublimation of practice
From the initial mortal wood carving craftsmanship to the later injection of artistic conception into his works, and finally to the realization of various artistic conceptions in actual combat, Wang Lin’s practice and artistic creation complement each other. Artistic conception is no longer just a manifestation of strength, but also a reflection of his heart. Just as Wang Lin learned the “crazy artistic conception” from Yun Quezi, the clarity revealed in this madness is the indispensable mentality for his future cultivation.
“Wang Lin’s cultivation path seems to be full of accidents, but in fact every step is on the trajectory of fate. From a woodcarver in the mortal world to challenging the five great gods, every experience is laying the foundation for his path to godhood. Although Yun Quezi’s “hands-off shopkeeper” makes people sweat, it is under such extreme pressure that Wang Lin gradually comprehends the mystery of artistic conception.
