Chapter 196: Water Curtain Cave
One more choice is one more guarantee, and in the future, if the materials of Zhuji Dan are not collected, he can still take the path of refining the body, although it will be difficult, but it is better than having no way out. Of course, this is a choice of 10,000 steps back, if there is really this day, then Jin Cheng's future achievements will also stop at the early stage of the innate stage, and there will be no greater achievements.
Unless he gives up the spiritual energy he has cultivated, re-cultivates his internal qi, and becomes a complete ancient martial arts cultivator, it will be possible to break through to a higher realm.
This kind of stupid thing is estimated to be unwilling to be done by fools, and Jin Cheng is obviously not a fool.
The physique of the early stage of the congenital stage, combined with the spell attack power of the late stage of qi refining, can be regarded as a strong person among the early stage of the innate martial arts, and it is absolutely no problem to dominate one side, so why should he risk pursuing something ethereal.
He knows his own affairs, he doesn't think that he is a martial arts wizard, his talent is just average, and his achievements today depend on his special physique and special exercises, if he cultivates internal qi from scratch, he estimates that his achievements will not be higher than Yang Ziyi, and he may not be able to step into the innate realm until he dies.
Jin Cheng has a calm personality, likes to plan before acting, and choosing the seemingly most difficult, but actually broader path of double cultivation is also due to his character. At the same time, his ambition is also very big, as the saying goes: people have no long-term worries. Jin Cheng has already focused on the cultivation method after the Dan period, and while setting a back path for himself, he also has a strong self-confidence that he can rise to the Dan stage, this mentality seems a bit contradictory, in fact, most of us are dealing with things, why isn't this the case?
I am sure of something, but I have to think about it, what if I fail?
Can you say that's bad? No.
In the final analysis, Jin Cheng is still a layman, and his way of thinking and principles are very similar to ordinary people.
After drinking all the remaining medicinal juice from the bottle in one gulp, Jin Cheng entered the waterfall, and in the most turbulent place, he began to climb upward.
After the beginning of winter, the river enters the dry period, and the water flow decreases sharply, Jin Cheng can imagine that if he comes here to challenge in summer, it is estimated that the difficulty will increase a lot. Even so, Jin Cheng suffered enough, after training every day, he felt like he had been beaten a hundred times, every inch of his skin was like a pinprick in pain, and the bones all over his body seemed to fall apart.
Today started very smoothly, and soon surpassed the highest height he had reached in the past, and when he completed two-thirds of the process, he clearly felt that his body was consuming strictly, and every step up was gritting his teeth and persevering. Just as he was approaching the top of the waterfall, he found a hole hidden behind the waterfall not far to his left, which was a water curtain cave, about two meters high and wide.
As soon as he was distracted, his feet slipped, and the huge momentum of the water pushed him into the pool from a height of dozens of meters.
In the pool, Jin Cheng took the water bead in his mouth to stabilize his body, and said in his heart: Failed, still failed, no, while the medicinal power in the body is still there, I will try one last time.
After resting for a while, Jin Cheng began to climb again.
This time, he had just climbed half the height, and he suddenly felt the pressure double, and the huge force of the water made it difficult for him to move in again, and it was very difficult to even hold still, he knew that this was due to the effect of the medicine.
No, I'm not willing to let that fail.
Jin Cheng roared angrily in his heart, his eyes were red, his teeth were clenched, his limbs forcibly exerted force, and he moved his body up a few inches, he knew that his body had reached the limit, at this time, he had to persevere, he could improve if he got through, success or failure in one fell swoop!
Gradually, Jin Cheng felt that his body had become numb, his hands and feet were unconscious, and even his consciousness became blurred, just when he felt that he couldn't hold on, suddenly the pressure on his body decreased sharply, and the turbulent water seemed to be like taking a shower for himself, soft and very comfortable.
It's done, it's a breakthrough!
Jin Cheng realized that at a critical time, he struggled to break through to the early stage of his physique, and made a qualitative leap in physical strength and pure strength.
The rest was simple, and he easily climbed to the mouth of the water curtain cave. Jin Cheng let go of his divine sense, explored the situation in the cave, and found that there were traces of artificial development in the cave, and someone should have been here or even lived here. The road of the cave twists and turns, slowly extending upward, the light in the cave is poor, the ground is wet, and after walking thirty or forty meters inside, the ground becomes dry, and after walking more than ten meters, you enter a hall.
When the cave arrived, it was also at the end, Jin Cheng looked around, except for some stone benches, there were no other objects in the cave, and the area of two or three hundred square meters seemed empty. It was the murals on the four walls that aroused Jin Cheng's interest, and he turned on the powerful flashlight and looked at them carefully one by one.
The stone quality of the stone wall is very hard, and the carvings of the mural are very deep, very rough, and the lines are simple, as if someone scribbled graffiti, fortunately, most of the meanings to be expressed are relatively superficial, and after Jin Cheng pondered carefully, he can basically understand the general meaning.
After Jin Cheng circled the scene, he showed a thoughtful expression, these murals depicted the scene of the battle between the Xiuzhen Realm and the Demon Realm, because the murals only had a very small amount of text explanations, and the age and background of this catastrophe of heaven and earth were not mentioned, and Jin Cheng had no way to guess.
As for the Demon Realm, Jin Cheng has limited knowledge, and the amount of relevant information left by the cheap master is too little, only mentioning that the Demon Realm is located in another space, and this space has a connection channel with the earth, but the exit of the passage is sealed by the power of the Xiuzhen Realm, and the two realms are cut off.
According to the knowledge of the murals, the inhabitants of the Demon Realm are almost indistinguishable from humans, and they look exactly the same, the only difference is that the Demon Realm is full of demonic energy. Just as cultivators need spiritual roots, people who have demon roots in the demon world can practice demonic skills, and their cultivation methods are different from those of cultivators, but their cultivation environment and resources are better than those of the earth.
It can be seen from the mural that although the Xiuzhen Realm defeated the Demon Realm back then, its own side also suffered heavy losses, and many masters fell in battle.
In the end, it was a cultivator who was about to ascend to the immortal realm to make a move, killed several demon lords, drove the demon monk back to the passage, and placed three layers of seals at the entrance of the cave, as long as the seal did not have an accident, he could enjoy peace for a thousand years.
Jin Cheng was thinking about a question, now that the earth is no longer suitable for cultivators to live, he may be the only cultivator, and the level is very low, if the Demon Realm still has the previous cultivation environment, or it is just a little worse, if the passage connecting the Demon Realm is opened again, then who can resist the Demon Realm invasion again?
The answer is no.
