Chapter 20: Secrets of Cultivation
After listening to Xu Qing's words, Gu Yue was silent, he didn't expect that this matter would be so complicated behind it, involving the high-level plane, he couldn't think of it before, Gu Yue thought that these should be legends, made up and played, but he didn't expect that one day he would know that these were true, and he actually came into contact with them.
Gu Yue thought for a long time and said to Xu Qing: "Uncle Xu, at this time, I think I have no way out. I have to know all of this, and I have to go on the path of cultivation, because I have to see my parents again. As you said just now, the place where my parents were taken is a high-level plane, and I need to cultivate to meet the standard before I can go, so I have to cultivate until I can see my parents. Otherwise, no matter what decision I make, what's the use of not even seeing their faces? Even if in the end, as you said, I will never be able to cultivate to a higher realm, but as long as I can get there, I will be very content to see them, and we will live together as a family, and I will be with my parents in death. ”
Xu Qing was slightly moved when he heard Gu Yue's words, he sighed and said, "Alas... Why talk about life and death. Your parents want you to live safely, and if they knew, they would blame me for telling you all this. They don't want you to suffer the same anymore. ”
"If you don't do it, you'd rather die. Even if I live an ordinary life, it is a life without a soul. It is unfilial piety for a child to know that his parents have been taken away and not to act. When a disciple sees his teacher die tragically and does not kill the enemy, it is disloyal. I don't like to live a life as an unfaithful and unfilial person, so even if I can be stable, even if I don't have to endure hardship, what's the difference between that and the walking dead!Uncle Xu, don't persuade me, I want to ask you to teach me cultivation right away!" Gu Yue said what he thought in his heart word by word, and at this moment Xu Qing saw that there seemed to be a flame burning in his eyes.
"Okay! Well said! Xiaoyue, your Uncle Xu really didn't mistake you, let's try it boldly. No matter what the future holds, I hope you can live your own life according to your own heart. This courage to never bow your head will accompany you on your future cultivation path forever. Xu Qing also said excitedly.
"Okay, then Uncle Xu, when are we going to start?" asked Gu Yue excitedly.
"Now!"
In the mountains and forests in the middle of the night, it was quiet and dim, and two people, an old man and a young man, were walking briskly. Xu Qing took Gu Yue to see and shuttle in the mountains and forests, and after a while, he came to a waterhole under a waterfall. The two of them came to a big rock by the pond and stood still, Gu Yue faced this Xu Qing and prepared a method to accept cultivation. Just now Xu Qing said that he would teach him to cultivate immediately, Gu Yue didn't expect Xu Qing to take him to the deep mountains, and when he came here, Gu Yue was also very curious about what would happen next.
At this time, Xu Qing opened his mouth and said, "If you want to cultivate, you must first understand the steps and grading of cultivation. Every cultivator is to improve the level of cultivation step by step, although the cultivation method is important, but having a systematic and comprehensive understanding of the cultivation steps will save you a lot of detours. And you are luckier than others in this regard, I have me to teach you. Many cultivators initially groped for themselves and smeared forward. And you are equivalent to having a lamp, in the early stage, I can let you improve faster than others, but the future road still depends on your own little by little accumulation and self-cultivation, and you can't rush any exercises, you know?"
"I see. Gu Yue said.
"Okay, then I'll give you a detailed explanation of the path of cultivation. These things are very important, you have to listen carefully and remember them carefully. I'll just say it once, and I'll take it to heart. ”
"Understood. ”
"The place where we live is called the Yellowstone Continent plane, and there are thousands of planes like ours, and there are as many as cows. They agreed to be referred to as the primary plane. Most of these worlds were created by ancient ancestors, and the cultivators in them were strange and varied. There are also thousands of cultivation methods and exercises. The ultimate goal of the cultivation of a cultivator of every primary plane is to cross the ladder of climbing to a higher plane, and the criteria for promotion in different worlds are also different, the same is that after every person in the primary plane cultivates to the peak of this plane, they must undergo a test to be eligible for promotion to the advanced plane. The methods of this test are also strange and varied, and the test methods of each plane are also different, some of them were set when the ancient people were able to create the plane, and some of them need to be set up and operated by the advanced plane assessment administrators themselves. ”
"The common point of the assessment is that they are all very difficult, these assessments are all tests by cultivators of the advanced plane to the people of the primary plane, and when you meet someone who is one realm higher than you to test you, even if he only uses half of his strength, it is very likely that you will be wiped out, so this assessment is very difficult. However, the benefits of passing the assessment are also unusually large. If you pass the assessment, you will be able to enter a higher level of cultivation and you will be able to get in touch with more and better cultivation techniques and heaven and earth spirit treasures. Moreover, every person who breaks through the plane and is promoted, their body and spirit will be washed and purified by the power of the plane, so that the cultivation and improvement speed in the future will be several times faster. ”
"And after being promoted from the primary plane, all the cultivators in the tens of millions of worlds will enter a place, which is a buffer zone, or a buffer plane, which ninety percent of the primary plane cultivators don't know. This plane is known as the 'Illusory Realm'. In this experience illusion realm, everyone can cultivate at will, but for such a long time, there are also some forces and gangs in it, and there will be some people whose cultivation cannot reach the promotion standard, but who have cultivated for a long time, and whose strength has reached the peak of this plane, if they want to find a breakthrough method, they will recruit a wide range of disciples, and use the cultivation of apprentices to inspire their own cultivation methods, in order to achieve a breakthrough. ”
"This buffer plane is then promoted to the basic plane where your parents are, and people like to call it 'Outer Heaven'. However, the people there call the Basic Plane the 'Four Directions'. The three forces here each have some eyeliner in the buffer plane, which they can use to discover cultivation talents so that they can absorb them into their own organization. ”
"Then why don't they just send a few people down to teach the people below them to cultivate, wouldn't that be better?" Gu Yue asked strangely.
"That's impossible. Xu Qing shook his head and said: "First of all, although several forces have been fighting each other for many years, their strength is on par with each other, and no one wants others to suddenly be stronger than their own, so the three families have already agreed not to send people down to interfere with the cultivation of the lower planes." Secondly, people from the high-level plane cannot enter the low-level plane for a long time, as long as a person from the high-level plane enters the low-level plane, the spiritual power of the entire plane will oppress him and squeeze him out, he needs to fight against the pressure of the plane all the time, and his strength cannot play half of the normal one. That's why the two people who came to grab your parents don't seem to be that strong. ”
"Oh, I see. Gu Yue suddenly realized.
"Your parents and I met in the Fantasy Realm, when we were under the door of a teacher, and your mother was my little sister. Xu Qing said abruptly.
"It will be very difficult to cultivate after reaching the advanced plane, because at this time you are already about to reach the peak of cultivation, and it is very difficult to reach the limit of all universe cultivators. If you can get here, then your cultivation has come to an end. ”
"I told you before that you are born with a flaw, and now I will tell you about it in detail. All cultivation systems basically have nine stages, and when they reach the apex of cultivation, they are the strongest in the universe, and now I know only four people, and there is one of them I have only heard rumors and never seen them, so you can imagine how difficult it is, so many people in so many worlds, and only four people have reached that realm so far. And all the cultivation exercises, no matter what you cultivate, sooner or later, when you reach the eighth realm at the latest, you must complete the cultivation of spiritual thoughts in order to break through to the eighth stage, otherwise you will never be able to advance. ”
"And spiritual thoughts are the drawbacks of your cultivation, your innate defects!" Xu Qing said to Gu Yue.
