Summary

The chapter discusses the martial art "Long Sky Returns to Me," which is divided into nine realms, with the potential for significant personal and celestial understanding. Although historically, practitioners have only reached the seventh realm, the theory suggests that higher levels exist. Mei Lun chooses this martial art to aid his companion Doggie and enhance his own grasp of celestial rules. The cultivation method is unconventional, requiring practitioners to rely solely on their thoughts rather than previous annotations, which can be contradictory and unhelpful. Mei Lun engraves thirty-six abstract visualization diagrams into his mind, entering a deep mental state during his first cultivation session, where he experiences a vast, dream-like mental landscape. After a month of immersion, he gains insights into the celestial realm and begins practicing the first level of "Yiyu." Over the next three months, he successfully navigates the first level, adjusting his heart's scale to delve into the second level, where reflections of the universe become clearer. However, the process is fraught with danger, as shifts in the heart's scale can lead to loss of self if not carefully managed.
