Chapter 2 Three Thousand Avenues
So Li Taiyi, under the teaching of Lin Lao, meditated on the immortal scriptures on the stone wall during the day, and immersed himself in the body quenching liquid carefully prepared by Li Lao at night. Before I knew it, another three years had passed.
When Li Taiyi officially entered the Dao state of mind, he also really knocked on the first door of cultivation. The Taoist state of mind, as the name suggests, is that the mind is as calm as standing water, and then you can practice and operate the immortal Dao method, and it begins to have the power of immortals. In order to express the joy in his heart, Li Lao actually went up the mountain and dragged a snake-tailed tiger demon with a thousand-year-old cultivation. The refining liquid was injected into a bronze bone tripod, and Li Taiyi was stuffed into it for a day and a night. Seeing Mrs. Li screaming in pain, Mr. Li knew that he had gained a lot, and looked at Mrs. Li who was dancing with teeth and claws outside Guding.
When Li Taiyi cultivated to reach the peak of the Dao state of mind, Li Lao said to Li Taiyi: "Xiaoyi, you are extremely talented, and you are definitely not a thing in the pool. Although I have a lot of immortal classics here, but cultivation is personal, and it is not just penance that can make a difference. ”
"What do you mean, old man?"
"You are now in the Great Perfection of the Dao Realm, and you will soon be able to enter the Dao Xuan Realm, and you will barely have the power to protect yourself in the human world. When a cultivator enters the Dao Xuan Realm, he will absorb the aura of heaven and earth and rush through the thirty-six innate entrances. With your qualifications, you must break through at least the twenty-four entrances below the Heavenly Spirit Pass. So it's time for you to go to this state and look for your own opportunities. ”
"Can I go out to play?" Li Taiyi said excitedly, after all, he is still a child, he is stuffed in this cave all day long, he has to practice against the stone wall in the morning, and at night he has to be stuffed into the Ding containing all kinds of medicinal liquids by the inhuman Li Devil, and he has long been full of yearning for the outside world, and now that he heard that he can go outside to practice, Li Taiyi naturally wants to leave now.
But Li Taiyi suddenly felt a little reluctant to let Old Man Li go, although this bad old man likes to stuff himself into the Ding, but he has been the only one who has accompanied him in the past few years.
"So how long will I be out and when will I be back?"
Li Lao was reluctant to let Li Taiyi, but he knew that it was difficult to make Taiyi cultivate in the stone room, let alone the destiny of heaven in the prophecy of the era that Taiyi was carrying.
Elder Li thought for a moment: "You either have cultivated to reach the Dao Law Realm, or you have made great achievements in any of the Three Thousand Great Avenues, otherwise you won't come back." ”
"Ah, old man, are you trying to drive me away? "As soon as Mrs. Li heard about Elder Li's conditions, she was stunned, not to mention anything else, just the first cultivation to reach the Dao Law Realm was extremely difficult.
The great realm of Dao cultivation is roughly divided into the following realms from small to large: Dao Mind Realm - Dao Xuan Realm - Dao Fire Realm - Dao Ming Realm - Dao Law Realm - Dao Heaven Realm - Dao Yin Realm - Dao Yang Realm - Dao Venerable Realm. Each great realm is divided into ten small realms, and monks generally regard the first to third levels of a great realm as the early stage of this realm, the fourth to sixth levels as the middle stage of this realm, the seventh to ninth levels as the late stage, and the tenth level as the great perfection.
And every high-level monk, in the face of a monk lower than his own level, even if it is only a small realm, has an absolute advantage, after all, a small realm higher than the storage and absorption of heaven and earth aura, or the heart meridian cheats that urge, is not comparable to its low-level monks. This disparity is especially evident after the Dao Fire Realm.
Therefore, the breakthrough of the realm is also a thousand years of difficulty, and sometimes the cultivation for decades is stuck in a small realm. After many people broke through to the Dao Law Realm, they were already hundreds of years old monsters.
Moreover, what Li Taiyi didn't know was that although his Five Elements Spirit Body was an extremely rare anti-heaven physique, the storage of spiritual energy was five times that of a monk of the same level, and he could cultivate the practice secrets of various elements, but he also had a disadvantage, that is, the cultivation time was also five times that of a monk of the same level. That is to say, under the same external conditions, Li Taiyi alone is equivalent to five people with the same cultivation, but assuming that it takes one year for others to break through, it will take five years for Li Taiyi.
Of course, there are also many variables in this, such as the quality of the Heart Sutra of cultivation, the cheats of the exercises, etc., which can have a more or less impact on the speed of cultivation and the effect on the enemy.
As for the so-called greater achievements of the Three Thousand Avenues, Li Taiyi was even more hopeless. Although there are countless avenues in this world, it is even more difficult to find or walk out of your own path, and if you don't have the right coincidence, you may not be able to achieve anything in your life.
Old man Li also knew that he was a little more demanding, but when he thought of the heavy mission that Li Taiyi was carrying, he gritted his teeth and said to Li Taiyi: "If you can't meet such a little demand, then don't come back, and save me shame." ”
Li Taiyi also knew that he might not see Old Man Li for a long time, so he couldn't help but sigh softly, and asked again: "Then Old Man Li, what is the so-called Three Thousand Great Avenues, and how can you comprehend it?"
"The Three Thousand Great Paths means all kinds of supreme supernatural powers between heaven and earth!" Li Lao patiently explained: "The most common cultivation paths, Buddha cultivation, demon cultivation, as well as alchemy, casting, drawing talismans, forming formations, etc., have relatively high requirements for the divine soul, alchemy, medicine, feng shui, yin and yang, divination, etc., which are widely spread in the world, are all one of the three thousand avenues. ”
"After you have comprehended any kind of Dao, you will stand at an extremely high height, and you can enter the peak of the Heavenly Dao. Li Lao recalled the content of the immortal classics, "There is even a legend that there is an ordinary mortal who does not have any cultivation, concentrates on practicing the way of medicine, and within a hundred years, he has reached the point where he can collect souls and save people in the hands of God. When he finally completed his medical path, the sky sprinkled with colorful grand light, forming a five-colored blessing cloud to carry him to the heavenly path. ”
"This is the famous way of entering the Tao with medicine, as for the many avenues in heaven and earth, what avenues you are suitable for depends on your own chance, and you can't ask for it. But I have some Great Dao books here, you can try to read them. ”
After finishing speaking, Li Lao pressed the eyes of a giant dragon relief on the stone wall with his hand, and a stone wall flipped over in the loud noise, revealing a very quaint-looking bookshelf. There are a lot of heavy books on it.
Li Taiyi hurriedly ran over and picked up a book to read, but most of them were bored, and after turning a few pages, they put it down.
Suddenly, Li Taiyi saw a yellow booklet, pulled it out of the bookshelf, and sighed strangely:
"Old man, what is a weekend? Is it also one of the three thousand avenues?"
Old man Li was startled when he heard it, his old face turned red, and he hurriedly took the book from Li Taiyi's hand:
"Hmm... This one... Sort of, but you're still young, and this avenue isn't for you. Li Lao prevaricated.
"Oh well. Although Li Taiyi was puzzled, he didn't care much. He saw a dark red book on the bookshelf again, and took it out, and the word "Zhou Yi" was written on it.
"Old man Li, I want to learn this!" Li Taiyi shouted excitedly.
"Let me see, this is...I Ching? You kid want to learn physiognomy?"
"Mmmmmmmm
"Physiognomy...... This thing is very strange, and it is extremely difficult to cultivate, even if you cultivate to the point where you can deduce the heavenly machine, you can't leak it at will, and you will receive the curse of heaven. Are you sure you want to learn?"
"Of course, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, know how many times you see, and know the rain in the holes. Such a good thing, why not learn. Li Taiyi didn't know why, anyway, he thought he had to learn this. And when he thought that he could pretend to be a charlatan and deceive everywhere after completing his studies, Li Taiyi was even more excited.
"That's fine, that's fine. After all, what you like is the best, this kind of thing can't be forced, you have to go with the flow. Elder Li touched his white beard.
"Then when will I leave?" Li Taiyi asked with the Book of Changes in his arms.
"Don't worry, there are still some things to explain to you. ”
Li Lao took out a ring and handed it to Li Taiyi.
"This is the most common low-level storage ring among Daozhou monks, and it contains an independent space within a radius of one mile. It is possible to put inanimate items in it. ”
Mrs. Li gave it a try, and the "Book of Changes" in his hand immediately turned into a golden light and was put into the storage ring.
Elder Li continued: "There is a token in this storage ring, if you go out this time, I will use the teleportation array to send you to a certain city in the relatively barren Nine Dragon Domain of Daozhou, which is a good start for your immortal journey." ”
"When you arrive in the Nine Dragons Domain, you have to find a way to meet the Domain Master of the Nine Dragons Domain by yourself. After meeting him, you give him the ring in the storage ring, I had a great favor with him back then, so you put forward a condition to him, and he should not refuse. ”
"You ask him for a place to go to the Hundred Domains, and after you get the place, you have to participate in a grand event called the Hundred Domains. During this period, the young generation of Daozhou Baiyu gathered the pride with the highest talent potential. If you not die in the selection of the Hundred Domains, but stand out from the younger generation, you will be accepted as a disciple by the top sects in Daozhou. ”
"Your cultivation among those top sects will benefit you a lot, and the time to reach the Dao Law Realm will be greatly shortened. As for the difficulties during this period, it is up to you to overcome them. ”
"As for the Heavenly Eye on your forehead and your Five Elements Spirit Body, don't be easily exposed to outsiders, do you know?"
Mrs. Li listened quietly and kept what Mr. Li said firmly in his heart. He nodded to Elder Li: "I know." ”
Elder Li also snorted, "Then let's leave now." ”
After speaking, he stretched out his hand and formed a bunch of complicated handprints, and shouted again: "Open!"
Suddenly, a distorted space black hole appeared out of thin air, and another piece of heaven and earth could be seen inside.
"Old man Li, take care. ”
Mrs. Li took a look at Mr. Li and stepped into the black hole.
Li Lao watched Li Taiyi leave and sighed heavily.
He took out a yellowish dead leaf from a small hole in the stone wall, and pointed a few points with a brush, and the dead leaf immediately floated again, and after a while, it turned into a butterfly, flapping its yellow wings.
"Go, help me watch this kid in secret, don't let anything happen to him, I'm still a little worried......"
The Dead Leaf Butterfly nodded, and plunged headlong into the black hole of space.
"Little one, I can only help you get here, old man, and this withered leaf butterfly can only save you once, and after that, it's all up to you!"
Li Lao put away the portal and muttered to himself melancholy.
