Volume 1 The Independence of the Legacy Chapter 4 The World of Cultivation

In a room with countless bamboo slips, rows of bookshelves are neatly arranged. There are all kinds of scriptures and classics, and there are all kinds of historical exercises. Lin Ziyun glanced around, took a book called "Ten Thousand Years of History" in his hand and studied it.

The quickest way to understand a strange world is undoubtedly to look at its history.

The library pavilion was brought by Tantai Tanxi to Lin Ziyun. After arriving, he sent the girl away, preparing to learn the secret of this world's cultivation through the library pavilion. After chatting with an old man guarding the library, he purposefully searched for a few relevant books.

"These books, you don't need to spend merit points, you can return them to the Pavilion within a year after you finish reading them. The old man who was guarding the library looked at the books that Lin Ziyun handed over for registration and said.

Lin Ziyun didn't want to stay in a conspicuous place for too long. After all, he had realized that he was in a difficult situation, and it was best to try to hide as much as possible.

Returning to the cave, Lin Ziyun placed more than a dozen books on the stone table and began to read.

"Ten Thousand Years of History" records some major events that happened in this world within 10,000 years, and through this book, Lin Ziyun learned about this world, similar to the ancient martial arts era and the mythological era. A cultivator can hold a magic weapon, cut the sky and the earth, move mountains and reclaim the sea, and do anything. Calling for wind and rain, scattering beans into soldiers is not a legend here, but a real existence. According to the above records, this is a five-star cultivation planet called Gu Ming Xing, with countless cultivation sects, hundreds of schools of thought, and thousands of ethnic groups.

The entire cultivation realm is divided into four regions. Among them, there are differences in the cultivation methods of each region, and the eastern soil of the main body refining emphasizes the sanctification of the physical body. It is known that the hand can pick up the stars and smash the sun and the moon with his fist. The Northern Regions, which is dominated by qi refining, pay attention to cultivation as a perception. The unity of heaven and man can lead to immortality and live with heaven and earth. Among them, there is also Nanling Soul Refining, which pays attention to the way that the soul does not disperse and coexists with heaven and earth. In addition, there is another outlier that is the West Sea Demon Cultivator. If the three domains of the southeast, north and south are cultivators and cultivators, while the Western Sea Demon cultivators are devourers and are aliens. In the waters of the countless islands in the west, the demon cultivators are rampant, and they are all a group of devourers.

The main line in "Ten Thousand Years of History" is a history of the cultivators against the devourers, in which countless wars broke out, and the two sides went back and forth for countless years. Lin Ziyun was immersed in the powerful supernatural powers of this world, moving mountains and reclaiming the sea, and flying into the sky, and he couldn't extricate himself for a long time.

Cultivation was so imminent, Lin Ziyun was a little excited, and a little apprehensive.

He then flipped through a book called "The Chronicle of Cultivation", which recorded the cultivation methods of cultivators and the division of the realm of cultivation. This book can be said to describe this in great detail, and the description of each cultivation stage is even compared in detail with the level of demon beasts and demon beasts.

"Xiuzhen Chronicle" records: Cultivation is divided into Qi refining, foundation building, feathering, knotting, and Yuanying...... and so on. However, this book only introduces to the Yuan Infant realm, perhaps because the person who wrote this book is only in the Yuan Infant Stage, Lin Ziyun thought.

In this book, it is said that the realms are distinguished according to the cultivator's control of the realm of spiritual power, and the difference between each major realm is very different, there is a gap between immortals and mortals, such as not being able to reach the Yuan Infant, I don't know the difference between the cloud and mud between the Yuan Dan and the Yuan Infant Period.

Each great realm will be divided into four stages: the early stage, the middle stage, the late stage, and the Great Perfection according to the transformation quality of the spiritual power in the body. For example, the practice method of each realm is different, such as the foundation building period, which is to use spiritual power in the body to build the foundation of the Dao, and there are hundreds of veins and spiritual aperture in the human body. And because of the difference in spiritual veins and acupoints, everyone's cultivation time and spiritual power quality to the feather realm are different. Therefore, the distinction between the middle and late stages is not obvious enough. And if it is in the Dan period, it is to convert the spiritual power in the body into Dan Qi, this change is a clear feeling of itself, and it is very obvious in the middle and late stages, and there is also a big gap in combat power.

Among these realms, there is one realm that is extremely special, and that is the Qi Refining Period. The Qi Refining Period is also divided into middle and late stages, but the orthodox division is to divide the Qi Refining Period into nine layers. This is because the Qi Refining Period is the most critical stage of cleansing the marrow and cutting the tendons, and the cultivator's human body has a total of nine large acupoints that can absorb spiritual energy, and penetrating these nine acupoints is the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period.

Similarly, there are detailed records of foundation building, feathering, knotting, and the Yuan infant period. Lin Ziyun has not yet cultivated, and some things seem to be understood. However, the author of this "Xiuzhen Chronicle" is excellent, and most of the terms recorded in the book are annotated, which is quite humane.

No wonder the old man guarding the library said that it didn't cost merit points to debit this book, and it was expected that these books should also be for the people of the "Novice Village", Lin Ziyun smiled dumbly.

Since this book is called "Xiuzhen Chronicle", it naturally records some Xiuzhen calendars and the division of sect levels. It says that if a planet doesn't have the slightest spiritual power, it's the Death Star. And the planet that can be cultivated can be called the spirit star, and the cultivation planet is divided into five classes according to the book in this book. Gu Ming Star is a five-star planet, and the most important thing about a five-star planet is that there must be monks from the realm of heaven and man, three decays and five tribulations. And so on, the four-star cultivation star is the powerful monk of the god transformation stage, the three-star is the Yuan infant stage, the two-star is the knot stage, and the one-star is the feathering stage. As for the barren planet that can only be used for the cultivation of the monks of the foundation period, this book refers to it as the spirit star. That is, it is recognized as a spirit star, but it is not given a hierarchy.

The war between the planets has not happened before, but it is very rare, which is slightly mentioned above in the "Xiuzhen Chronicle", it doesn't matter, Lin Ziyun has read it hastily. The so-called hierarchical division of the planet does not mean that the person with the highest cultivation on this planet is just a knot and a primordial baby. In fact, otherwise, the aura of each cultivation star is not endless. For example, Gu Ming Star, this planet can only accommodate the cultivation of cultivators in the Heavenly and Human Realm, and once it exceeds this realm, it will cause the spiritual power of the entire planet to be depleted, not to mention, and this star will also suppress this cultivator. And the suppression of a planet is unimaginable, so beyond the limit of the planet's bearing, these monks either fly into the universe to find a higher planet, or cultivate to be suppressed. Therefore, if there is really a Yuan Infant Stage Cultivator who descends to the Two-Star Cultivation True Star, then the cultivation will be suppressed to the Yudan Stage.

And Gu Mingxing, the level division of the Xiuzhen Sect is also similar to the level division of the Xiuzhen Planet. The highest five-star sects, such as the Evergreen Sect in the Northern Regions, have Heavenly and Human Stage Ancestors in charge.

Lin Ziyun continued to flip through a book called "Immortal Stones Drive the Progress of the Cultivation Realm", which introduced in detail the spirit stones recorded in the "Cultivation Chronicle". The so-called spirit stone is the currency of the cultivation realm, and it is inevitable that this currency will become a common currency, because it is as rare as gold, and it also has the most critical practicality, or it can be said to be universal. Humans, demons, and demons can all be absorbed, and they can be directly transformed into spiritual power in the body. This concept is like saying that with spirit stones, not only will your cultivation speed be accelerated, but you will never lack spiritual power. Whether it is the norm of the entire cultivation world for respect for strength, or the role of spiritual power as a gunfire and ammunition when fighting with others, the spirit stone has naturally become the currency of the entire cultivation world.

It is recorded in this book that the spirit stone is produced in the spirit mine. It is because of the essence of heaven and earth, which is gathered, and the process of formation takes tens of millions of years.

And spirit stone is a scarce resource, and the production is limited. There are some people who naturally want to make a profit from this, in addition to mining spiritual ore. There is also the easiest way, which is for cultivators to use spiritual power to condense spiritual stones. Cultivators can absorb spirit stones and convert them into spiritual power, and naturally they can also condense spiritual power into spiritual stones. As a currency, spirit stones have a definite value. This led to the occurrence of wars, some evil Xiuzhen sects or organizations, initiating wars between sects, and the victors would imprison the disciples of the defeated sects and force them to condense spirit stones. These monks, the spiritual energy absorbed every day is used to condense into spiritual stones, which has to be said to be a kind of sadness.

One of the chaotic struggles recorded in "Five Thousand Years of History" is clearly recorded in "Immortal Stones Drive the Progress of the Cultivation Realm". And the ruthless victor kept the loser in captivity like a slave. It's like harvesting leeks, when a stubble grows, a stubble is cut off.

In fact, there are some regular cultivators who will cooperate with them by arranging formations that gather spiritual energy, and in an environment where the efficiency of condensing spiritual stones is extremely high. And the obtained spirit stones are divided between the two sides, so as to achieve a win-win situation. This kind of Spirit Gathering Array is basically a must-have for every major sect. In addition to hiring people to condense the spirit stones, it can also be used by disciples in the sect to practice.

"Biography of a Thousand Snow Mountains", Lin Ziyun read this book while comparing what he saw. The author of this book is very detailed.

For thousands of years, the Qianxue Mountain Creation School has developed from a three-star sect to a four-star sect...... The opening chapter of this is sprinkled with tens of thousands of words, all of which praise the sect and the ancestor of the opening sect, the ancestor of the Snow Mountain. There are more than 1,000 immortal mountains in Qianxue Mountain, and there are more than 30,000 disciples. Inherited to the present, there are a total of eight main peaks, of which the highest peak is the head of the lineage, and the remaining seven peaks are managed by seven respected ancestors of the Yuan Infant Period.

This book has a detailed description of how many people are in each of the other seven peaks, from the head of the lineage to the other seven peaks, as well as the past glorious history of each peak. By the way, it is deliberately mentioned in the biography. Each peak is not called one peak or two peaks, but is called the first and second Taoist temples of Qianxue Mountain according to the qualifications and cultivation of the seven elders of the founding sect...... This name seems to be like opening a branch, which makes Lin Ziyun speechless. He focused on finding the introduction of the six views and read it, which introduced that the sixth view has a long heritage, and although the most famous ancestor has fallen, the great name is widely spread in the cultivation world, and is known as the sword master. As for the person who is now in charge of the Six Views is the Yuanying Old Ancestor Yuyang, who has thirty-six true disciples under his seat.

Lin Ziyun thought that the fat man before called himself the true legend of the Six Views, and then he heard Yutai talk about a fish senior. It seems that this person is Lin Ziyun's current master.

It's a pity that this "Biography of Qianxue Mountain" will not record Lin Ziyun on it, so he quickly browsed it. Qianxue Mountain has 3,000 miscellaneous disciples, 10,000 registered disciples, 5,000 outer sect disciples, and 2,000 inner sect disciples. The rest of the elite disciples, core disciples, true disciples, as well as the elders of the inner and outer sects, and the deacons add up to more than 10,000 people.

It also records in detail how to go from a miscellaneous servant to a registered disciple, and how to go from a registered disciple to a disciple of a foreign sect.

In addition to introducing these, there is also a detailed introduction to the establishment of the Law Enforcement Hall, the Outer Sect Supervision Committee, the Inner Sect Supervision Committee, the Elder Supervision Committee and other organizations in Qianxue Mountain. In addition, there are some alliances formed by some disciples, and some have some glorious memories, all of which are recorded in this book.

"Biography of Qianxue Mountain" also tells the general outline of each mountain peak in detail, and soon Lin Ziyun found the Liuguan Mountain Peak named Blazing Yu. It should be the peak he is staying on now, in addition to the scenery, it also records that there are some dangerous places in this mountain, and the book warns disciples with low cultivation not to venture into it.

Reading this, Lin Ziyun's expression moved, and he quickly flipped through the introduction of Linghuan Mountain. It's a pity that there is not much introduction in the book, and a few strokes say that it is an immortal mountain for cultivating elixir. Similar to this introduction, Lin Ziyun also found some, such as some mines that produce spirit stones, Lingguang Mountain, Zhu Mountain, and so on......

After reading this book, Lin Ziyun was no longer interested. Most of them introduce some sects, and every once in a while they will open some secret realms to test the disciples' cultivation. There are also things like opening formations and rewarding outstanding disciples. Lin Ziyun was not very interested in these things that he didn't need to know for the time being.

His eyes fell on a book named "Xiuzhen World", and his face showed expectation.

After Lin Ziyun read the book "Xiuzhen World" in one go, his eyes lit up. The records in this book are the historical legends of some powerful cultivators of Gu Mingxing, as well as their cultivation process. The book says: "Cultivators, move mountains and reclaim the sea, fly to the heavens and the earth, and do anything. Lin Ziyun's heart was surging.

The sword immortal in the book holds a mouthful of pure gold flying immortals, and can take people's heads thousands of miles away. The great supernatural monk, the ancestor of a religion, moved mountains and mountains, and turned stones into gold. There are also strange mages who drive the puppets of Baizhang and can attack the Great Wall. These people harness fierce beasts, drive out ghouls, have spirits, and can also summon spirits and kill people.

In addition to recording the history of some celebrities, this book spends a long time on the gap and difference between the cultivation world and the human world. The aura in the world is thin, basically unable to be used for cultivation, and the air is filthy, people inhale it, and it is contaminated with red dust karmic fire, whether it is the body or the soul, it will be slowly devoured, so it is difficult to cultivate an immortal body. This statement is similar to that of Buddhism.

In addition, the cultivation realm believes in the survival rule of respecting strength and the law of survival of the jungle. It is not like socialism, capitalism, feudalism, and slavery in the human world. In the cultivation realm, all races coexist, and there is very little racial prejudice between the various races, but the most important thing is strength.

This book is extremely extensive. The beginning introduces the origin of cultivation, and legend has it that countless thousands of years ago, there was no cultivator in Gu Mingxing. Humans and beasts live on this beautiful planet, because of the outbreak of a crustal movement that has gone through countless years, the mountains and rivers have changed, and the aura of this world has been revived. There are some cultivators from the alien star field who spread the cultivation culture here. The oldest group of preachers taught people to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon. Introduce the aura into the body, strengthen the body, cut the dust, tie the golden pill, and condense the baby. This world has undergone countless years of evolution, and finally developed into an incomparably brilliant world of cultivation. There are also some legendary cultivators who have broken through the shackles of heaven and earth, experienced the three decays of heaven and man, and flew out of the home planet. This is also the Flying Immortal Tribulation that circulated in ancient books, and from then on, it can be crisscrossed in the star field.

In fact, such as some two-star and three-star cultivation stars, their flying immortal tribulations are just to become condensing babies and knotting pills. However, the cultivators of these planets are very sad, according to historical records, there are also great powers that confirm that there are endless black holes, space-time fragments, and dark devils in the star field. In addition, there are interstellar bandits, as well as strong star field pressure, etc., and it is impossible to survive without the planet below the god transformation period. Therefore, it is very sad to live in a weak Xiuzhen Star, even if you have talent, you are a divine seedling that is unique in a thousand miles. Even if you break through the shackles, you can't escape your fate, and you will never be able to leave your home planet.

The origin, reproduction, and development of the cultivation realm, in the end, its peak was only a hundred thousand years. Hundreds of thousands of years can be said to be an unbelievable number for ordinary people, but for monks in the realm of heaven and man, a retreat may be as long as 10,000 years. Therefore, in the history of Xiuzhen, this little time cannot be said to have developed rapidly.

In the book, it is described that a powerful cultivator has the power to reach the heavens, which naturally hurts the heavens. Therefore, the cultivators are also known as the anti-heavens, they are a group of heretics who cut thorns and thorns and cut down immortals retrogradely. For the Heavenly Dao, the cultivators occupy it, or it violates the rights of the Heavenly Dao. They can do the right thing for heaven and call for wind and rain...... Therefore, although the cultivators seem to be prosperous, they are fighting with the heavens and the earth at every step, and the Dao fruits that have been cultivated for countless years have turned into powder and disappeared. All things in heaven and earth are mutually reinforcing. Tai Chi Yin and Yang, turned into two fish. And the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao is just a repetition. Even powerful cultivators are lamenting their own insignificance. The 90,000-mile true dragon, the Kunpeng across the sea, can't be called invincible.

In "The World of Cultivation", Lin Ziyun not only reads about the reverberation of those who follow me and those who disobey me, but also the eternal way of heaven and regards all things as dogs.

Lin Ziyun took advantage of his energy to read more than a dozen books in one day and night. "Geography of the Northern Regions", "The Cultivation of a High-level Monk", ...... After reading these books, Lin Ziyun sat on the futon and fell into thought.

finally has a clear understanding of the world, he is not in a hurry to do what he must do now, but more determined to cultivate himself.

Half a day later, a crisp voice sounded outside Lin Ziyundong's mansion. Lin Ziyun, who was cross-legged and breathing, smiled when he heard this voice.

The person who came was the girl among the miscellaneous disciples under his name, and I saw her standing outside the cave with a nervous expression on her face.

Lin Ziyun walked out quickly, pushed open the door and looked, this woman was waiting outside the door.

"Senior Brother Lin, these are the spirit stones that were exchanged for the elixir and magic weapon according to your instructions. The girl handed Lin Ziyun a blue-gold storage bag.

"Qingling, you take out half of these spirit stones, and you share them with Jiangling and Guihe. Lin Ziyun said.

When Qing Ling heard this, she shook her head again and again, but Lin Ziyun shook it with her hand and motioned to the woman not to say anything more.

Qing Ling didn't say anything more, and followed Lin Ziyun into the cave. A moment later, Qing Ling left the cave with a look of despair on his face.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Ziyun held a cyan storage bag in his hand, and his face was solemn and went in one direction. After reading some books about Qianxue Mountain, Lin Ziyun knew that there were also some information exchange channels and clubs in the cultivation realm, as long as you could pay enough.

In a dark room, a man with a hat pulled out a cyan storage bag and handed it to a fat man in front of him. The fat-faced man smiled and nodded, and took out two bamboo slips from there.

"Daoyou is really a cheerful person, next time if there is a chance to cooperate, come here directly to report the name of the guest, will be treated preferentially, preferential treatment. ”

The man with the hat on his head didn't know what he was thinking. He took the bamboo slip with both hands and said, "If the information you give is accurate, and you promise that the information below will not be leaked, there will naturally be cooperation next time." ”

"This fellow Daoist can rest assured that even a Yuan Infant Monk will never be able to see your identity through this cloak. What's more, our store is a thousand-year-old brand, absolutely honest, you can rest assured that it is good to ......"

"That's good. The man wearing the hat was not verbose, handed over the spirit stone, took the bamboo slips, and immediately entered a secret room. After the man took off his hat, he revealed an ordinary but angular cheek, which was none other than Lin Ziyun.

It turned out that Lin Ziyun handed over the elixir and magic weapon to Qingling for sale in exchange for spirit stones. It was to come to Wanfu Building to inquire about some news that was extremely important to him. It's just that Lin Ziyun didn't rush back when he got the bamboo slips, but spent some spirit stones to rent a room, and I don't know why.

He sat cross-legged on the futon, his eyes showed a fine light, and he looked at the two bamboo slips in front of him, spread them out gently, and began to read. There is not much content in the two bamboo slips, and after reading it quickly, Lin Ziyun put the bamboo slips together. He got up gently, took the bamboo slip, and threw it into the alchemy furnace on the side of the room. The alchemy furnace in this room was deliberately requested by Lin Ziyun, just to burn it after reading the contents of the book.

Lin Ziyun didn't stay here for long, and after eating some spirit fruits and snacks arranged by Wanfulou, he secretly went out of the room.

Two days passed quickly, and the time for Lin Ziyun to go to Linghuan Mountain was already very fast.

The snow is still this snow, and the snow-capped mountains are also this snow-capped mountains. The little white fox was still lazily lying beside Lin Ziyun, but today, it was extremely deserted.

The moonlight was sprinkled all over the ground, the stars were reversed, and Lin Ziyun stood on the edge of the cliff to admire the moon on this day. Suddenly, a girl wearing a Luo skirt, as if the Nine Heavens Xuannu had descended to earth, appeared in front of him. Lin Ziyun opened his mouth to say something, but he quickly shrank back, secretly worried.
