Chapter 1532: Three Calamities
Guan Liyuan didn't expect that Tang Kun would be so relieved that Xue Jian would really let her out......
Later, Guan Liyuan guessed that eighty percent of Tang Kun's purge had not yet ended, so he also took the opportunity to keep Xue Jian away from Tang Gate for a while.
Along the way, Xu Changqing also explained some common sense of climbing the ladder with Guan Liyuan and Sedum - it can be said that the process of climbing the ladder is both a test and a welfare!
This "test" can be narrowly understood as "crossing the tribulation......
There are four major tribulations, the last three are subdivided into nine, three, five, and seventeen small tribulations, and each tribulation can be infused with the original aura, and there will be a similar epiphany effect in the understanding of the exercises.
And Guan Liyuan's current strength, there is no problem at all in crossing the previous tribulations, but he is still a "white body", and he can start from scratch, and every time is a rare opportunity.
It's like after you have practiced to level 60, and you find that there is a gift package for every 10 levels that you haven't received, and you can improve a lot by receiving them all!
For example, the first tribulation is along the ladder of the heavenly road, and it is okay to walk to the rooftop step by step, of course, the gravitational force on the heavenly road is very large, and it usually takes some skills to go up, but ...... With Guan Liyuan's body, it is absolutely no problem to rush up directly.
To be able to stand on the rooftop is to be regarded as stepping into the threshold of "cultivation", not an "ordinary person".
And this is just an "hors d'oeuvres", in fact, it is not a catastrophe, because even if you can't catch it, you can come down halfway, and it is not as dangerous as the "three disasters" behind.
The beginning of the three disasters is the real "catastrophe", and the "three disasters" mentioned here are naturally not Kaido's three subordinates, but the Taoist often said "If you don't investigate the road, it is difficult to get rid of the three disasters" - wind disasters, fires, and thunderstorms.
There are nine wind disasters, and after the baptism of the ninefold Gangfeng, cultivators can be regarded as the first glimpse of the door, and generally the big factions with heads and faces are all disciples of the threefold or sixfold gang wind realm, and they can travel out of the mountain.
Although the wind disaster is dangerous, it is safe compared to the latter two, as long as the head is not too iron, and if you have to do it, you basically can't die, and at most your vitality will be greatly damaged...... Every time you pass it, you can wash your body and mind.
There are three kinds of fires: "qi fire" originates from the outside, and if you are not careful, you will destroy the limbs and five bodies; "fine fire" originates from the internal organs, and when it is difficult to reach it, the five internal organs and six internal organs become charcoal......
To be able to reach this realm, even if it is just to resist the calamity of qi and fire, it can be regarded as a little master in the human world, and he can be a small elder in the big faction, a great elder in the small faction, if it is a loose cultivation...... It is not impossible to start a sect.
The three fires have passed, and the three flowers can be knotted on the top - the Shushan faction has been passed down for 500 years, and there have been more than 20 heads, of which several are just three flowers gathering at the top.
It is said that because of the first catastrophe of the thunder disaster, it is very unfriendly to the school of resistance with the help of flying swords and other utensils.
Therefore, there is no half-immortal in Shushan, either in the realm of three flowers, or in one breath to break through to the second and third levels of thunderstorm.
Of course, the realm is not equal to combat effectiveness, for example, most of the Danding faction are civilized people, such as Shushan Sword Cultivation, just bearing the top three flowers to scare the half-immortals, which is also a normal operation.
The "catastrophe" of the fairy sword world, there is no "hard is the royal road", "with the help of external forces is not the right way", but many Taoist sects are very disgusted with the hard resistance of Shushan and the like, in fact, each school has its own method of crossing the catastrophe, such as the Jishan faction to eliminate the catastrophe with merit, and the Danding faction to take drugs...... The more extreme military liberation factions even directly gave up their bodies to survive the calamity before the Heart Fire Tribulation.
Therefore, there is no direct relationship between the realm and combat effectiveness, and not everyone takes "fighting" as the primary productive force.
Just like most people, maintaining balanced nutrition and good health is for better work and life, not for fighting with others...... Of course, people with better physique, compared to malnourished, definitely have an advantage in fighting.
It's the same in the Protoss...... For example, Feipeng belongs to the one that can fight, so although it is not a high-level of the Protoss, not even the God Emperor, but it can take on the heavy responsibility of resisting the demon world.
Then there are the five thunderstorms, which basically cannot be passed once, and they are the result of dust...... The specific situation Xu Changqing is not very clear.
Now Xu Changqing, as a disciple of the former head of the family, has only survived the Essence Fire Tribulation, and he is still one step away from the Sanhua Gathering Peak.
Only by surviving at least one thunder tribulation can one be regarded as a half-immortal, and if you want to survive the fifth thunder tribulation, the realm of "unity of heaven and man" is the lower limit.
And often the fifth thunder tribulation does not need to be crossed, because after reaching the realm of the unity of heaven and man, you can sit back and wait for the edict of the divine realm.
Now the five elders of Shushan are all half-immortals, and those who don't know really think that Shushan ushered in another peak after the Taiqing era - from the current point of view, it is indeed the case.
However, Guan Liyuan knew that the five elders of Shushan had actually taken a "shortcut" and practiced forbidden techniques to expel their evil thoughts, so they made great progress in the realm, and now the troubles have appeared...... This is also the origin of the Evil Sword Immortal.
Guan Liyuan doesn't know how many tribulations he can get through now, but he thinks it's okay to come to the first few tribulations, how far can he go...... Just die a few times!
From Sichuan and Shu all the way to the east to the sea, this distance is definitely not close, almost across the entire territory of the Song Kingdom.
And Guan Liyuan also found that the area of this world is much larger than the earth he is more familiar with, and the background of the times is also different......
For example, in the north of the Song State, there is not only the Liao State, but in the history of the earth, the Murowei tribe that should have been annexed by the Liao State at this time not only still exists, but even established a country, and can even fight back and forth with the Song State.
Dali in the southwest does not exist at all, and the Dali area is still in the stage of hatred and confrontation between black seedlings and white seedlings, and the historical process is much slower.
Xu Changqing also said to Guan Liyuan that according to the rules of the current immortal cultivation world, unless there is a demon causing a disaster, or something terrible happens, ordinary cultivators will not interfere with the world.
Although each dynasty may have cultivated immortals with the help of dynastic luck, most of them are not in the climate, and the number is also very limited, and they are ...... The immortal cultivators of all factions will not regard themselves as people of such and such a dynasty.
And this is not a planetary structure, only the Shenzhou Continent, after going to sea to return to the ruins as the end, all countries are human races in terms of race, all of them are derived from the ancient human race countries, and now some living habits, civilization and culture are different, inherited from the cultivation world of the ancient qi refiners, there is no thinking of respecting the king.
For example, before the unification of the various factions in Shushan, Kunlun Mountain, which was the largest immortal realm in the human world, is now in the territory of Tubo......
It is impossible for the Song State and the Tubo State to go to war, and Shushan will fight with the Kunlun Seven Factions.
When there was no catastrophe in the human world, the existence of the cultivation world in the folk was very low, and after Emperor Wu of Liang fell into the sand in Shushan, the secular dynasties in the past five hundred years also respected the cultivation world.
"Brother Xu, it is said that Shushan has the skill of flying with a sword, and it can face the North Sea and twilight......" Guan Liyuan couldn't help but ask Xu Changqing when he was hurrying.
"The art of the sword does exist, and it is far faster than the five spirit escape method in terms of the escape technique, but it is difficult for ordinary edgeworth to last, and it is not suitable for long-distance travel, unless it ...... It is to survive the complete wind disaster, and leave a sword mark somewhere in advance, and then you can enter the Gangfeng layer at any time and return to the place where the sword mark is. Xu Changqing explained.
The Gangfeng layer is not only high-air, but also the edge of the human world, and the concept of space is also different from that in the interface......
If it is to enter the Gangfeng layer of the sword, it can indeed be called "towards the North Sea and twilight", but the sword mark is difficult to preserve, and the sword mark arranged casually cannot last long, and a special sword stone can be preserved for a long time.
Although Penglai has a falling sword stone, Xu Changqing is not a disciple of Penglai, so naturally there is no sword mark on it, and Guan Liyuan, Xuejian, and Sedum have not survived the storm, and Xu Changqing can't take them into the Gangfeng layer together......
