Meditative state

Meditative state is a special state in cultivation. It is also referred to as Fetus-like state (胎息状态 taixi zhuangtai) or innate meditative state.
This fetus-like state was similar to a deep sleep. In that state, you wouldn’t be able to form your own thoughts, let alone cultivate.
Long Chen encountered the meditative state with the nine soul jade, spirit world, and Skyscraping Divine Altar.
== Nine-line Soul Calming Jade ==
If he was holding this jade pendant, he could immediately enter a meditative state. When Long Chen picked it up in his hand, he immediately felt his heart calm. All the questions, shock, and anger he had been feeling immediately faded away.
The meditative state was a state that ignored all distracting thoughts. It was when the heavens and man could connect, when the heart and mind merged into one, an especially particular state.
This kind of state would allow one’s cultivation speed to multiply and form an incomparably solid foundation. Cultivators longed to enter such a state.
Due to all kinds of worries, disturbances, and even joy, the absolute majority of people found it extremely difficult to enter a meditative state.
On average, a cultivator might only be able to enter such a meditative state once a month for perhaps only the time it took an incense stick to burn.
Long Chen was normally able to enter his meditative state every single time, but it would require him to calm his heart for over two hours to eliminate all distracting thoughts before he could just barely manage to do so.
Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength was incomparably powerful, yet even he felt it was difficult to enter this meditative state, let alone others.
But holding this jade pendant, he could now enter a meditative state at any time he wanted to. It was really too shocking.

In the Spirit World:
Dragonblood Legion was in a special, fetus-like state. This kind of state was something all cultivators would long to achieve.
The meditative state was a state of spiritual emptiness. By releasing everything, you became closer to the Heavenly Daos and could comprehend them better.
However, this state was artificial. Just by wanting to enter this state, you had a goal, which contradicted the point of this state. That made it very difficult for one to grasp anything about the Heavenly Daos.
Despite its low efficiency, this meditative state was the only cultivation method to get closer to the Heavenly Daos, so everyone had to use it to increase their mental realms.
A person’s mental realm was just as important as their cultivation realm. Normally, the mental realm had to be higher than the cultivation realm. The mental realm was like a canal, while the cultivation base was the water. The canal had to be constructed perfectly to allow water to flow through it.
If a person’s mental realm wasn’t high enough and their cultivation base sharply exceeded it, it could easily ruin a person’s foundation and cause a heart-devil. So there were many geniuses that couldn’t put their full energy into raising their cultivation base because their mental realms were lagging.
Now the Dragonblood Legion was in an innate meditative state. This was completely different from when cultivators forced themselves into a meditative state.
In the secular world’s words, everything you gained while you were still in the womb was innate, while everything you had after you were born was acquired.
Once you were born, you couldn’t gain more innate things. But the Dragonblood Legion had returned to a fetus-like state. This was practically a heaven-defying opportunity for them.
As long as their mental realms were high enough, Long Chen could refine medicinal pills for them to raise their cultivation bases rapidly.
