There are nine realms in the division of Shangqi on the mainland, namely: Building the Foundation, Gathering Spirits, Forming Dan, Knowing Destiny, Tongtian, Crossing Tribulation, Scattering Immortals, Shangxian and Golden Immortals. Each realm is divided into the lower three levels, the middle three orders, the upper three levels, and nine stages!

Although the difference in level is huge, actual combat experience and the environment in which they are located are also indispensable factors, so there are not a few examples of low-level cultivators defeating high-level cultivators!

Everything in the world has qi, you can't live without qi, it's just your own potential, and whether you will improve and use your own qi, if you can raise your own qi to a certain level, you will produce an aura, even if you are thousands of miles away, others can really feel your existence!

If you condense all your own qi, your aura will be the same as that of ordinary people, and you will not even feel your existence at all! But that also means that any of your actions must be the same as ordinary people, if you have the ability to exceed ordinary people, your aura will fluctuate, which means that you will be detected by other cultivators! Of course, you can also use this to hide your own strength!

Anyone who cultivates to reach the immortal realm, whether it is a human or a demon, can increase his lifespan, at least three times his lifespan, but there is no eternal life! Whether it is a human cultivator or a demon beast, when the aura reaches a certain strength, they can fly from the ground at extreme speed, usually in the Heavenly Realm and the Tribulation Period, there is no fixed boundary!

However, monsters are different. Demon beasts can only be cultivated after enlightening their wisdom, and there are also some types of demon beasts with their own flying ability, they are not in this category, and after reaching the Tongtian Realm, their flight speed will have a qualitative leap. The speed is incomparable to that of humans and other beasts in the same realm!

There are two major bottlenecks in these nine realms, namely: the period of knot and the period of tribulation! Breaking through these two boundaries is like being reborn, but there are not a few people who are stuck in these two major bottlenecks.

The higher the realm, the more demanding the conditions become, and some people even fail to comprehend the mystery until they die!

At dawn the next day, the sky was just dawning, and Xiao Yun had already begun to teach Xi'er!

The two sat face to face in the gazebo, and a hot steam slowly floated up from the tea table between the two, melting into the refreshing air little by little!

"Since you stayed, you have to listen to me for everything in the future, from today onwards, swim ten laps around this lake every day! If you can't finish swimming, you are not allowed to eat dinner, let alone sleep!" Xiao Yun fiddled with the teacup in his hand, and said lightly, very relaxed!

For Xiao Yun, swimming ten laps in this lake is just a matter of breathing, but all this is as difficult as climbing to the sky when it comes to Xi'er's body!

Xi'er looked in the direction that Xiao Yun said, only to see that the corners of his mouth were constantly twitching, and his eyes were about to pop out of his sockets.

"The circle of this lake is about ten miles, and ten circles are only more than a hundred miles, so there is no need to make such a fuss!" Xiao Yun raised the teacup in his hand, took a small sip, nodded again and again, and said leisurely with his eyes closed.

"By the way, don't tell me you're a landlubber, I'm not responsible for teaching you to swim!" Seeing that Xi'er didn't speak, Xiao Yun closed his eyes and took a small sip of tea and said again.

But Xi'er didn't seem to hear Xiao Yun's later words, and still stared at the lake with a pair of eyes, and couldn't believe her ears!

Of course, the stream will never be a landlubber, he grew up by the stream, and the first thing he learned was to swim in addition to walking!

"Ahem......" Seeing that Xi'er had not reacted, Xiao Yun opened one eye and glanced at Xi'er, and then deliberately coughed twice, which brought Xi'er back to reality.

"Ah......h

"What, can't you do it?" Xiao Yun opened his eyes, put down the teacup in his hand, and asked lightly!

"This ......" Xi'er looked at the lake in front of her and hesitated for a moment, but never dared to say anything!

"If you can't even do this, then you can leave, I don't want waste here, as for hatred, you don't have to think about it!" Xiao Yun saw that Xi'er was still hesitating, and he didn't respond for a long time, and deliberately sarcastic.

Xiao Yun naturally saw the obsession in Xi'er's heart, so he specifically mentioned Xi'er's sore spots!

"I can!" Xi'er lowered her head and looked at the tea table in front of her, and answered in a heavy tone, revealing an unwavering obsession in her eyes!

Sure enough, Xiao Yun's words hit the nail on the head, and they hit Xi'er's key point at once, for him, nothing can be greater than his mother's hatred!

"Okay, then you can go!" After speaking, Xiao Yun got up and left!

"A radius of twenty miles here belongs to my hermitage, there are no other high-level demon beasts, you don't have to worry about any danger, except for some unenlightened beasts, there are only you and me!" Xiao Yun took a step and said slowly with his back to Xi'er, when he said at the end, Xiao Yun's figure had already disappeared into the sky!

"Hmm!" Xi'er nodded seriously, looking at Xiao Yun's departing back, a confident smile rose on the corner of her mouth!

The water of the lake, which has been embraced by the earth all night, is very mild in the early morning, and I don't know how many times better than the cold stream!

Xi'er walked to the edge of the pavilion and looked around the lake, and it was only then that he really saw what was going on!

The westernmost side of the pavilion is a fishing platform, when there is nothing to do, Xiao Yun occasionally goes to fish two rods, in the middle is the place where Xi'er and Xiao Yun talked just now, and the east is the house for people to rest, there are a large room and two small rooms built next to each other, lined up from south to north, Xi'er lives in the southernmost room!

Looking at the surface of the lake, it is roughly oval, and the water is slightly muddy but not turbid, quite clear, which is also caused by the large number of fish living in the lake!

To the north is a cliff, and above the cliff are endless mountains, and on the edge of the cliff are buried Xiao Yun's so-called mentor, that is, the grave of the old drunkard! Of course, it is unknown what the brook looks like on the cliff!

On the east, south and west sides of the lake, there is a large dense forest, and the outer part of the forest is surrounded by a layer of dense flowers and plants, and every midsummer, a large area of flowers will bloom, and the colors are very beautiful!

The flowers and plants are about 40 meters away from the lake. In the distance between the edge of the forest and the lake, there is a flat meadow, green and full of life!

Finally, Xi'er went into the water with a hint of a smile, according to Xiao Yun, Xi'er swimming ten laps a day is at best training, let alone cultivation!

At first, Xi'er felt quite relaxed, but after a lap, Xi'er's speed slowed down significantly! Xi'er stopped swimming, gritted his teeth and persevered, working hard towards today's goal little by little, two laps...... Three laps...... By the time of the fourth lap, it was already past noon, so it can be seen that Xi'er is afraid that it will be midnight to complete today's task!

The next day, with the chirping of birds, Xi'er got up early, even earlier than Xiao Yun expected, and without any advice, she went to train after breakfast!

Xi'er practiced hard day after day, and at the beginning the immature skin was exposed to ultraviolet rays, and little by little, everything was developing in a good direction!

But this does not affect Xi'er's training, in his heart, such difficult winds and waves have passed, where will he care about the worthless weather in front of him!

Another day passed, Xi'er still got up early, Xiao Yun watched quietly from the side, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

From that day on, Xi'er repeated one thing every day, that is, the training that Xiao Yun explained! From beginning to end, Xi'er never slackened, not even the slightest!

Xiao Yun said when he could complete ten laps before the sun set, and when he could proceed to the next stage of training. It seems to be far away, but it is not as slow as imagined, from the first two hours of a circle, the time is shortened little by little, and finally it is half an hour, the stream is not used to it at the beginning, slowly adapts to the resistance in the water, and becomes more and more rapid!

Soon, two months passed, and Shangguan Hao and the others had already returned to the mansion, and told Shangguan Hongfei about Xi'er from beginning to end, which caused Shangguan Hongfei to laugh.

"Haha, this old guy, after so many years, he is finally willing to accept apprentices, I should go to meet him when I have time, hahahaha!" The person who laughed was Shangguan Hongfei, who was sitting comfortably on the main hall, and Shangguan Hao was sitting on the side and laughing in agreement, both of them seemed to be very surprised by Xiao Yun's decision!

At a glance, Shangguan Hongfei's somewhat gray hair could not hide his strong physique at all, the pair of thick eyebrows hanging on his face were quite graceful, and his powerful aura proved that he was by no means weak, and his blazing eyes were even more domineering than Xiao Yun!

"Maybe Xi'er and Senior Xiao have a similar experience!" Shangguan Hao said.

"Hey, I never thought that after so many years, he still hasn't forgotten the pain he once had!" Shangguan Hongfei sighed, revealing a trace of sentimentality in his words!

"Forget it, don't mention him, let's talk about Ling'er!" The melancholy in Shangguan Hongfei's eyes flashed away, and the words changed and asked.

"Nothing!" Shangguan Hao lowered his head, frowned, and said in a heavy tone!

"I've expected it, hey!" Shangguan Hongfei let out another long sigh and slowly closed his eyes, as if thinking about something.

"If you can't see any clues, then it's going to be difficult!" After a long time, Shangguan Hongfei said slowly, and at the same time slowly opened his eyes, a cold gaze shot out of his eyes, and even the air was filled with that chill!

During this period, Shangguan Hao didn't say a word, and the hall was also quiet and terrifying, even if a needle fell to the ground, the crisp sound could be heard!
