Chapter 169: The Beginning of the Rise of Shinto
Su Changhe didn't say anything about accepting Lin Yun as a disciple, originally he wanted to accept Lin Yun as a disciple, but for some reason, it seemed that there was a palpitation in the dark.
Soon, the crowd dispersed.
Although Su Su is only a disciple, he knows the basics very well, and every disciple of Xianxuanshan knows the basics very well.
Because Xianxuan Mountain pays the most attention to basic cultivation.
Su Su said: "The cultivation realm is divided into: Yunling and celestial phenomena. ”
Lin Yun blinked, looked at Su Su, and said, "Gone?"
"No," Su Su said: "The back is to become an immortal, although it is only divided into these two realms, but these two realms are not considered realms, such as the spirit is divided into four poles, through the two realms, the four poles, is to open up the four poles of heaven in the palace of life, in order to attract the four images of heaven and earth, cast the four images of the palace of life." ”
"The four elephants of heaven and earth, are they the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird and the Xuanwu?" Lin Yun said.
Su Su looked at Lin Yun and said, "Don't you know about cultivating immortals, you actually know the four elephants of heaven and earth." ”
Lin Yun smiled, he really didn't know how to cultivate, but it was recorded in myths and legends that there were four elephants in heaven and earth, guarding heaven and earth.
Su Su said: "The four elephants of heaven and earth were born at the beginning of heaven and earth, and they are the most original power of heaven and earth. ”
"The four poles represent gold, wood, water and fire, why is there a lack of soil among the five elements?" Lin Yun asked, the Vermilion Bird represents fire, the green dragon represents wood, the white tiger represents gold, and Xuanwu represents water.
Among the five elements, only soil is missing.
Su Su said: "Cultivating an immortal is a feathered flying immortal, since it is a flying immortal, it is natural to stay away from the ground and fly to the heavenly dome, so there is no earth in the four poles of heaven. ”
"However, it's not that there is no earth, but it's listed separately, and that is Tongyou," Su Su explained: "Tongyou, together with the Netherworld, represents earth. ”
"Of course, there is another explanation," Su Su said, "The human body itself represents the earth, and it sits in the center, so there is no need to cultivate the earth. ”
Lin Yun nodded, understanding a little.
Su Su continued: "Whether it is the Four Extremes Heaven or the Tongyou, it is the cultivation of special origin power, which is used to give birth to the Yuan Shen Dao fetus, and only by giving birth to the Yuan Shen Dao fetus can they cultivate the Dao Law, take charge of the Great Dao Divine Power, and become a real Heavenly Phenomena Realm cultivator. ”
The Celestial Phenomena Realm does not refer to a special realm, but a title that has reached a certain level, such as those elders and sect masters of Xianxuan Mountain are all Celestial Phenomena Realm cultivators, but their strength is not the same.
Through Su Su's narration, Lin Yun understood the cultivation of the Yuan Shen.
The Four Poles Heaven casts the four elephants of the Life Palace, in order to attract the power of the heavenly soul in the Heavenly Gate, but it cannot truly capture the Heavenly Soul in the Heavenly Gate.
Because of the endless remoteness of the Heavenly Gate, it can only make the power of the Heavenly Soul fall down and merge into the living soul.
The same is true of Tongyou, which is the power to attract the soul of the earth.
The power of the three souls is one, giving birth to the original Shinto womb.
If you want to achieve the real three-flower gathering, generally speaking, you can only cultivate the positive fruit, and there is only a certain chance, not necessarily that you can cultivate the three-flower gathering.
The gathering of three flowers is the highest state of cultivation, and many monks who have become immortals have not been able to condense the three flowers, so that the three souls can be one, and the immortal eternal primordial god will be cast.
Su Su said: "Therefore, many immortal cultivation sects no longer require their disciples to forge a strong foundation, because there are too few to achieve the Three Flowers Gathering Peak, so they all choose to give up, not continuing to cultivate the Four Extreme Heavens, but cultivating the Divine Extreme Heavens." ”
"What is this Divine Extreme Heaven?" Lin Yun asked suspiciously.
Su Su said: "At the end of cultivation, you can choose to become an immortal, or become a god, and if you cultivate to become a god, you will cast your own constellation stars above the nine heavens, such as the constellation of the four elephants."
Monks who are just getting started, they do not attract the four phenomena of heaven and earth, but choose to attract those divine constellation stars, and cultivate their own primordial gods with the help of divine constellation stars. ”
"Is there any difference?" Lin Yun asked.
Su Su said: "The difference is very big, if you choose to cultivate with the help of the Divine Constellation Stars, the cultivation speed will be much faster, and you can use the power of the Divine Constellation Stars through sacrifices, and even attract the Divine Illusory, but because your own Yuan Shen is contaminated with the power of the Divine Constellation Stars, it is difficult to cultivate into the Three Flowers Gathering Peak." ”
"Cultivating the Four Extremes of Heaven and building the foundation with the four images of heaven and earth, isn't it the same, although there is a chance, but this chance," Lin Yun shook his head, now he understood why there were not many disciples in this Immortal Xuan Mountain, and not many people were willing to worship it.
Cultivating the Four Extremes Heaven is indeed able to cultivate to a greater extent into the Three Flowers Gathering Peak, but that is only relatively speaking, among the 100,000 people, there may not be one person who can.
Therefore, many immortal cultivation sects have now chosen to give up this cultivation method and instead attract the power of the gods and spirits through sacrifices.
Worshipping the heavens has been changed to worshipping the gods, and even some sects have changed to worship the ancestors of the god realm of their own sects, and the ancestors of the god realm have become the sacrificial spirits who protect the sects.
Xianxuan Mountain knew that the ancient method was becoming more and more difficult to go on, but it did not change, and they still insisted, they looked forward to being able to walk out of an immortal in the future, so that they could make Xianxuan Mountain famous in the world.
For the next period of time, Lin Yun was studying and cultivating, comprehending the mysteries of cultivation, and mastering the power of the life soul, the life soul was very mysterious, and through the life soul, he could master the power of the surrounding grass and trees.
Lin Yun's spiritual power had reached the fiftyth rank, and such a powerful spiritual power did not require some elders of Xianxuan Mountain to be weak, so he cultivated very quickly.
The Four Poles Heaven, there is a special place in the four directions in the palace of life, opening up a heaven and earth, which is the four pole heavens, which can resonate with the four images of heaven and earth.
With his powerful spiritual power, Lin Yun easily opened up the Four Pole Heavens.
Through the Four Poles of Heaven, Lin Yun seemed to feel a vast starry sky, and saw that in the endless starry sky, there were countless stars built into a green dragon.
Looking at the green dragon, he suddenly felt that the green dragon had become extremely large, and he was like an ant, unable to see the whole picture, in his eyes, he could only see a lin's half a claw.
Su Su instructed Lin Yun beside him, and said, "When your mind enters the Four Poles Heaven, you can see the four elephants, and then you can run the Four Elephants Infinite Visualization Method to observe the four images you see. ”
Because the green dragon was too huge, and the green dragon was hidden in the clouds and mist, it could only vaguely see the figure, and all that could be seen clearly was the half-clawed one.
However, Lin Yun still observed carefully, using the method of the Four Phenomena Infinite Visualization, and depicted the green dragon he observed in the East Pole Heaven.
The Four Extremes Heaven gives birth to the spirit of the four elephants, and through the spirit of the four elephants, you can attract the power of the four elephants at any time, you don't need to visualize the four elephants at any time, and you can also cultivate the spirit of the four elephants into your own special life soul.
Soon, Lin Yun depicted a dragon in the East Pole Heaven in his life palace, but that dragon was very illusory, only a few scales and a dragon claw on his body were very clear, and the mysterious lines were clearly depicted on it.
Lin Yun said a little decadently: "I didn't expect it to be so difficult, it almost exhausted my mental power, just observing this." ”
Su Su looked at the Green Dragon Holy Spirit of the Four Elephants that Lin Yun had observed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, are you showing off with me, or are you showing off with me.
Back then, it took her half a year to draw just one scale, and you only carved three dragon scales and a dragon claw for the first time.
Su Su really wanted to find a place to be quiet, it was too shocking.
Lin Yun looked at the green dragon condensed in his hand and integrated it into his body, and suddenly he felt as if he had endless power in his body, which could shatter a mountain with one punch.
And the most important thing is that Lin Yun feels as if his physical body can change, his hands can become dragon claws, and dragon scales seem to grow on his skin.
Su Su suppressed the sadness in his heart and said: "The possession of the soul can make the physical body very strong, the dragon claws can make your grip sharper, and the dragon scales can condense dragon scales on your body to improve the body's defense." ”
"Bell. ”
A sword appeared in Su Su's hand, and a sword stabbed out, stabbing towards Lin Yun's arm, and the hit made a metallic collision sound on Lin Yun's arm.
Lin Yun was taken aback by this sudden sword, he was about to have his arm cut off by that sword, but he didn't expect which illusory dragon scales on his arm blocked that sword.
Su Su said: "This is the use of the soul of life, the spirit of the four elephants belongs to the soul of life, the cultivation of the spirit of the four elephants needs to be gradual, the innate four elephants are very powerful, it is difficult to completely observe, unless the spiritual power reaches the hundred levels, the four elephants can be completely observed, and the perfect spirit of the four elephants can be cast." ”
The spirit of the four elephants does not need to be completely observed, only needs to be observed, and the power of the innate four elephants can be used to temper their own souls.
"Thank you Senior Sister for your teaching," Lin Yun said gratefully, although he was not a real immortal cultivator now, the ability he possessed now had already made him very excited.
In the next period of time, Lin Yun attracted the power of the green dragon at night to temper himself, and felt that his physical body was getting stronger and stronger, although immortal cultivators did not cultivate their physical bodies, but bathed in that light, their physical bodies would be slowly refined.
The reason why I cultivate at night is because the power of the stars at night is more intense, which can attract more power of the Blue Dragon Constellation, and cultivation can get twice the result with half the effort.
During the day, Lin Yun was mostly in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion of Xianxuan Mountain, watching some Dao Methods, and now he couldn't really cultivate those Dao Methods.
However, you can practice some simple techniques, such as the Fireball Technique, the Spring Rain Technique, etc., which can condense flames out of thin air and make rain fall in a small part of the place.
This kind of means of spreading clouds and rain, getting to the world where he was originally located, will definitely be able to subdue countless believers and make them believe in and worship themselves.
Of course, there are also in this world.
Many immortal cultivators will enter the mundane world, and through these mysterious means, they will collect believers, let these believers worship them, and build temples for them.
This kind of temple construction has only risen in recent years, especially after the spread of the method of worshipping the gods, many people practice this method and strengthen themselves by collecting the power of faith.
As for the original method of sacrificing to the heavens, slowly not much Dao system was still cultivated, because it was too difficult to obtain the power of the four elephants by sacrificing to the heavens.
There are very few Dao systems such as Xianxuan Mountain that retain the method of worshipping the heavens, and Xianxuan Mountain can't even recruit disciples now, and it won't take many years to completely disappear in this cultivation world.
I don't believe in heaven, I only worship gods and demons.
This is a torrent in the cultivation world today, and in many mundane countries, those secular emperors do not worship heaven and earth, but instead worship the gods of heaven and earth, praying for the peace of the country and the people.
Lin Yu and Lin Yun talked about the current cultivation world, sighed, and said, "Cultivating immortals was originally for immortality, in order to pursue the path of immortal path, but now, ...... The way of God is prosperous, the way of immortals is declining, and everyone in the cultivation world cultivates the gods. ”
Lin Yu is not very big, and like Su Su, he is a disciple who accompanies the fat middle-aged man in the disciple recruitment square, and he is a disciple of the sect master Su Changhe.
In the entire Xianxuan Mountain, it can be said that only Su Changhe accepted disciples, and the rest of the elders did not accept disciples, and even their own juniors worshiped under the sect master.
Lin Yun read a lot of classics about cultivating immortals during this time, and said: "Little senior brother, is there any difference between cultivating immortals and cultivating gods, I saw that it was recorded in the classics, it seems that both can live forever and have great power." ”
"The difference? This, like, maybe, that, I really don't know. Lin Yu thought about it, and really couldn't say that there was much difference, his face was a little embarrassed, but then he said: "I heard from my master that Shinto has drawbacks, and now that Shinto is flourishing, it may cause weirdness." ”
"Weird?"
Lin Yu said: "I don't know, there will be anything weird, but I believe in Shizun's words, Shizun will not lie to me, of course, these things are too far for us, and my current goal is only to reach the celestial phenomena." ”
"Is it difficult to cultivate the Heavenly Phenomena?" Lin Yun asked.
"It's difficult," Lin Yu said: "Ten thousand cultivators who set foot on cultivation, not necessarily one of them will be able to become a Heavenly Phenomena Realm cultivator, but that was once, and now it's hard to say, because of the method of sacrificing to the gods, they can obtain the baptism of the glory of the gods, and their cultivation speed will increase very high, and they can quickly reach the Heavenly Phenomena Realm." ”
Lin Yu thought for a while and said, "I once heard the ancestor say that the Divine Dao is actually a kind of shackle that puts on oneself, although it has great power, it will be restrained, and the Immortal Dao will not. ”
"Shackles, restraints?" Lin Yun didn't understand very well, but he didn't want to be bound, so he chose to cultivate immortals, as for what problems there were with Shinto, I would talk about it later.
Lin Yu has been in Xianxuan Mountain for three years, and his talent is not weak, but the orthodox immortal cultivation speed is not fast, it is very slow, so he has not set foot in the heavenly phenomena yet.
The so-called celestial phenomena are actually their own primordial spirits that can resonate with heaven and earth, integrate into heaven and earth, and control the power of heaven and earth through celestial spirits.
Only by stepping on the Heavenly Phenomena Realm can we understand the vastness of the Great Dao, understand the true path of cultivation, and appreciate the subtlety of the Great Dao.
"Is there a sword immortal," Lin Yun asked, in the original world, he was very yearning for those sword immortals depicted in myths and legends.
One man and one sword, crisscrossing the world and killing evil demons with one sword.
"Sword Immortal?" Lin Yu said: "You mean that it is difficult to condense the sword soul, it is difficult to condense the sword soul, you need to master the sword intent, and then understand the sword path runes and outline the sword soul, of course, this is the orthodox method of sword cultivation." ”
"What is the unorthodox Sword Immortal cultivation method?" Lin Yun asked.
Lin Yu said: "Leave a mark directly in the palace of life, such as the gourd vine in your palace of life, but one is given by the heavens, and the other is given by the gods." ”
The reason why many people worship and believe in God today is because God can give them the power to obtain in an instant the power that they would not have been able to grasp after years of hard work.
However, such a method will limit the future growth of those monks, after all, their foundation will be affected, and the path they can take in the future will be narrowed.
Of course, many people don't think so, they think that the blessing of the gods is not much different from the blessing of heaven and earth, but the gods are not as good as the heavens, but in the end there is no difference.
Such words made those seniors of the older generation who supported orthodox immortal cultivation speechless and unable to refute it, because the blessings of the gods and the blessings of heaven and earth are the same in the eyes of many people.
Lin Yun didn't continue to talk more on this topic, after all, they were just ordinary cultivators, and they began to discuss some questions about cultivation.
After an hour, Lin Yun had a satisfied smile on his face.
And Lin Yu sighed in the sky, with an urge to end his life, originally thought that he was a genius, but because he was dragged down by this orthodox method of cultivating immortals, now it seems that he is a complete waste.
The experience Lin Yun gained from Lin Yu verified them one by one, and if he really solved some of his previous problems, his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds.
Cultivation is really timeless, unconsciously, Lin Yun has been coming to Xianxuan Mountain for half a year, in this half a year, his cultivation can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds, so that Lin Yu, Su Su and other disciples are eager to find a hole to drill into.
They had all been cultivating for many years, but now they had been caught up by Lin Yun, a new disciple, in just half a year, which made their faces very gloomy.
In the past six months, the Yuan Shen Dao Fetus in Lin Yun's Destiny Palace has become more and more condensed, constantly absorbing the power attracted by the Four Extreme Heavens, as well as the power attracted through the Netherworld.
If you want to make the Yuan Shen Dao fetus successfully conceived, it takes a lot of time, and at the same time, it also requires a lot of resources, once the pregnancy is successful, you can carry out the next step of cultivation.
Because Lin Yun has an innate life soul, even if he has not cultivated the Yuan Shen, he is still able to master some Dao methods and cast powerful wood attribute Dao methods.
"Little junior brother," Su Su came to look for Lin Yun, half a year passed, he became more beautiful, and said with a smile: "Little junior brother, we have taken a task, go down the mountain to eradicate demons, do you want to follow." ”
"Slay demons and eliminate demons?" Lin Yun was stunned when he heard this, since there are people in this world who can cultivate immortals, then naturally those beasts can also cultivate, and they will inevitably demons and monsters.
Lin Yun said: "Naturally, I have to follow along, I haven't seen what the demon looks like, is it as legendary, it looks very scary." ”
Su Su said with a smile: "Ordinary demons don't look scary, they look scary only a few demons, some demons can transform into human form, and they will be very beautiful." ”
