There is a special energy in the world, which is different from any existing and discovered category of energy, and this energy, which is of great benefit to all living beings, can be absorbed, and has a great uplift for the body.

Even, this energy can change the nature of life in living things.

This energy is called "Reiki" in the East and "magic" in the West.

"Hmm~ So that's ......" Yang Zhen realized.

Although he was already a ten-fold cultivator, this was the first time he had heard of this kind of common sense in the cultivation realm. This couldn't help but make Yu and Chen look at each other, and they couldn't figure out how the young man in front of him didn't even know this kind of basic knowledge, how he embarked on the road of cultivation.

However, they patiently continued to explain:

"In fact, a long, long time ago, the heavens and the earth were filled with this kind of energy. Therefore, at that time, people and animals were infinitely powerful, and they had all kinds of incredible abilities. I'll use an analogy: Hmm...... Gluttony, you know, and Nidhogg, the black dragon, Medusa, the Medusa the Nine-Tailed Fox, and the Nine-Tailed Fox Tamamo...... You've heard of it, right?"

Yang Zhen nodded, of course he had heard of these strange beasts in classical mythology of the East and the West.

"Actually, these are all these," Yu Meng Dao, "but they are not the most powerful, the most powerful leaders, they were called 'gods' or 'devils' back then." ”

Only then did Yang Zhen realize that the gods and demons in this world were real, and those epic legends were not made up by people.

If he had said these things to him before yesterday, he would have scoffed, but now...... He couldn't believe it anymore.

Later, both gods and demons wanted to dominate the world. Shu Xiaoman continued to add to her boyfriend, "The battle that lasted for 10,000 years began, and the gods and demons used the human world as a battlefield to start one battle after another. Human beings could not bear it, and in order to master this energy to get rid of gods and demons, countless pioneers of the human race began a long journey of exploration. ”

"Exploratory?"

"That is, to cultivate the truth. ”

"Oh. ”

"Actually, Xiuzhen has never been a particularly mysterious thing. Yu Mengdao, "Human beings have written a history that has not cultivated the truth, but in fact, human beings have cultivated for thousands of years, but in different places, there are different names for the cultivation of the truth." In the West, the cultivator is called a priest, in RB, the practitioner is called an onmyoji, and in China it is called a monk. Although the names are different and the methods of cultivation are different, they all have the same goal. ”

"Exorcise gods and demons. Shu Xiaoman summed it up in four words.

In the following conversation, Yang Zhen felt as if he had opened a mysterious history book, walking through page by page of history, and those stories that he was familiar with gradually had new faces.

A whole new world gradually unveiled in front of him:

In order to realize the lofty ideal of "exorcising gods and demons", the cultivators launched an impassioned struggle, either openly or darkly, one after the other.

In the East, under the leadership of the leader Xuanyuan, the cultivators launched the world-famous Battle of Zhuolu and sealed the demon god Chiyou, and in the West, the cultivators also carried out crusades again and again under the organization of the Pope, and at the same time set off a vigorous "witch hunting" campaign, burning the minions of gods and demons on the cross as "witches" and "heretics".

The war lasted for thousands of years, a large number of gods and demons were either expelled or obliterated, and the cultivators seemed to have won, but the good times did not last long, with the victory of the war, the cultivators because they had the power to be different from ordinary people, and some of them slowly degenerated, they forgot their original ideals, and began to gradually deteriorate. In the West, these people began to use the Holy See to rule over mankind, while in the East, they also manipulated dynasties and enjoyed power through their status as "national teachers".

But with the passage of time, human beings are no longer willing to endure the oppression of cultivators, Galileo, Bruno, Copernicus, Newton, ...... Countless pioneers sparked the Renaissance movement, which vehemently denied the existence of Reiki and began to promote a culture called 'science'.

Under the influence of these people, the faith of mankind was gradually lost, and the culture of "science" flourished. In the West, although the Holy See constantly asserted its authority, suppressed a small number of radicals, and even burned Bruno to death on charges of "heresy," it was ultimately unable to resist the torrent of history; while in the East, after several exterminations of Buddhism and Taoism, people also drove those "national teachers" off the altar. Gradually, the cultivators began to retreat into the background, and "science" eventually succeeded in outlawing the secular influence of the cultivators.

"Actually, you should know these things?" Shu Xiaoman asked, "Nowadays, Xiuzhen has to rely on family inheritance, why didn't your parents tell you?"

She looked at Yang Zhen in confusion, and Yang Zhen, who was looking at the girl's watery gaze, was quite embarrassed, so she had to find a casual reason to perfunctory.

You can't tell them that you're relying on the system to cultivate the truth, right?

"By the way, I have another question. Yang Zhen said, "This forging body ...... What kind of realm is it?"

He had been asking this question for a long time, after all, compared to the vast historical knowledge, this was what he wanted to know most at the moment, but Yang Zhen also knew that this question was very inappropriate, so he kept being undecided.

Sure enough, as soon as his words came out, he fell into the illusion that his voice had disappeared from the world. Yu Meng and Shu Xiaoman looked at him dumbfounded, and their eyes clearly said:

"Why don't you even know this?!"

Yang Zhen had no choice but to cough twice and brought up the excuse just now: "That~ You know, I had a little accident while cultivating...... Amnesia. ”

This excuse is so clumsy that if it were him, he wouldn't believe himself at all. Yu Meng was stunned for a long time before he said:

"There are different ways to divide the cultivation level in the West, RB, and China. In our country, there has always been a saying in the cultivation world: 'Cultivating the five heavens, one day is higher than one day', which means that the cultivation is divided into five heavens: forging the body, refining qi, concentrating, crossing the tribulation, and ascending, each of which represents a stage, and each stage is divided into ten levels.

Don't look at the fact that there are only 50 levels, the gap between each level is huge, basically one level apart, and the difference in strength can already be compared between adults and children.

Nowadays, those who have reached "contemplation" can already be called high-level cultivators. And the ...... who has entered the "catastrophe" No one can do it anymore. ”

"Why?" Yang Zhen asked.

"Because 'cultivating the truth five heavens, one day at a time'," Shu Xiaoman said, "The difficulty of cultivating the truth has always been easy first and then difficult, and the more advanced you are, the more difficult it is to cultivate, this is the unchanging principle of eternity." ”

"It's okay to say in the early stage," Yu Meng added, "but starting from concentrating, every time you ascend to the realm, you have to go through a heavenly tribulation." ”

"Heavenly Tribulation?" Yang Zhen felt his throat feel a little dry.

Yu Mengdao: "It's basically a little thunder or something......

"What if the tribulation fails?" Yang Zhen asked busily.

"The body and the spirit are destroyed. Shu Xiaoman was stunned word by word, but every word was like a knife, slashing the blood of a generation of soldier kings.

Subsequently, in the girl's explanation, Yang Zhen realized that the survival rate of the Heavenly Tribulation was pitifully low, even with the initial concentration to the Yuan Infant, only 10% of the people who could successfully survive the tribulation, the higher it was, and the final ascension, less than 0.01% could succeed.

This is the reason why the cultivators after the "Tribulation" no longer exist.

※※※

After breaking up with the two, Yang Zhenjing returned home.

I went out today, and I gained a lot: not only did I verify the power of my "Flying Sword Flow", but I also met two new friends, and I also had a basic understanding of the world of cultivation.

But problems also arise.

"Cultivating the five heavens, one day at a time, one day at a time...... It seems that if you want to become a high-level cultivator, this road is really difficult to walk~"

Yang Zhen, who was lying on the bed, put his hands behind his head and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

According to Yu Meng's introduction, when they cultivate to the back, whether they can succeed or not depends entirely on their faces, and at every turn, they are "destroyed by form and spirit", which is simply forcing people to a dead end!

Yang Zhen lay down in a daze for a while, and suddenly sat up:

"By the way~!My sign-in system may be able to bypass the catastrophe!"

Like the apocalypse, like the bell ringing, in a flash of inspiration, Yang Zhen grasped the key to the problem!

According to Yu Meng and Shu Xiaoman: The cause of the Heavenly Tribulation is because Xiuzhen goes against the sky and violates the law of cause and effect in this world, so once it is forcibly broken through, it will encounter the rules of this world.

The crux of the matter lies in the four words "this world"!

Yang Zhen's system is not in "this world"!

After a day and a night of research, he was already very sure of this, his system, that is, the Gray Mist World, was a plane independent of the real world, and Yang Zhen's cultivation was completed here!

Other words~

"Wouldn't I be able to circumvent the laws of cause and effect in the real world?

As soon as this thought appeared, it was like a pelican empowerment, and Yang Zhen suddenly became enlightened, and felt that he had figured out a lot of things in an instant:

"On the first day of sign-in, I got the ten-fold forging body and set foot on the road of cultivation; on the second day, I signed in and obtained the Flying Sword Stream, and I cut the green mountains with a sword; every day I signed in, I could get a leap in cultivation. ”

"And in the plane, there is no fear of the catastrophe!"

"According to this logic, wouldn't it be that I sign in every day and reach the 'Mahayana' – or even 'Ascension' – is just around the corner?"

In this way, one thought after another kept popping up from Yang Zhen's mind, teasing his heart. He couldn't sit still any longer, and immediately returned to the world of gray mist.

※※※

In the world of gray fog, it is still foggy.

A huge, transparent table clock is slowly approaching zero o'clock.

Yang Zhen pressed his excited heart and began to wait silently for time, when the hour, minute, and second hands of the table clock coincided again......

"Check in. He spat out the words softly.

What kind of reward will the system give this time?

Ten levels of qi refining, or a magic weapon, or summoning a divine beast?

No matter what it is, Yang Zhen has an impulse: "In the future, I will simply stay here and sign in every day until the Mahayana soars." ”

He took a deep breath.

No, you can't laugh, you have to hold back!

He didn't have to wait long.

"Ding~"

I am familiar with electronic sound.

And then......

"Thank you for participating. ”
