In the spring of the fourth year of Qingli.

The Central Plains factions led by the Dahui Imperial Court, the Taiping Chenghuang Mansion, and the Three Mountains Dharma Sect - Maoshan, Meishan, and Lushan, and the four major factions - Qingyun Faction, Yaowanggu, Yinshan Faction, and Jin Yingguan besieged Jiushan.

'King of the Nine Mountains' Qi Zhenzi led the demons of the Nine Mountains, rushing to the front, winning consecutive battles in martial arts and fighting methods, and shocking both good and evil.

Wait for the chaos to start.

The four major factions besieged the King of the Nine Mountains, the King of the Nine Mountains stretched his fists and feet, his blood was like the sun in the sky, like gods and demons, standing between heaven and earth, immortal and undefeated.

The battle was fierce.

The battle lasted for dozens of days, and the battle stretched for nine mountains.

The righteous heroes suffered huge casualties, and the top masters lost more than half.

However, the deaths and injuries of the Nine Mountains Demon were even more tragic and even more bleak. Seventy percent died, and the rest fled in all directions, not knowing where to go, and since then the Tianshan Mountains have been clean and the root cause has been removed.

Jiushan Wang Qi Zhenzi fought to the death and did not retreat, fighting dozens of Baodan peaks alone, and many Taoist skills in his body, and finally died of exhaustion.

The ashes that were bombarded and killed were gone.

A great battle came to an end, known as the 'First Tianshan Sword Fight'.

……

"It's over."

In reality, Panlong Mountain, Fire Dragon Cave, Chen Jichuan opened his eyes and sighed.

This sigh.

Sigh is that time is fleeting, and time flies.

Three dynasties and six hundred years.

Two hundred and eighty-two years of penance.

This life ended in a series of wars.

After sighing, the corners of Chen Jichuan's mouth showed a hint of laughter.

"The last battle is hearty, and I finally have a breakthrough in this external skill!"

Chen Jichuan savored it, and the smile on his face became more and more abundant.

In the last battle of the Tianshan Mountains, he fought dozens of strong people who held Dan alone, and his blood was in the air, and he finally forced out the 'Shadow of the Spirit' that had been hard to find in the past.

During the Great War, the spirit was tense.

The entire body, inside and out, every blood vein, every bone and tendon, are presented in the heart, and every jump and shock of the muscles, bones and epidermis can be clearly grasped.

Mingjin.

Dark energy.

Strength.

A heavy force shook the shadow out. Fifteen drops of essence and blood in the heart chamber are like the sun, shining on the shadow.

Induction of the Seven Spirits!

This is a key step from the first order to the second order, from the Baodan to the refining spirit.

After many lifetimes, Chen Jichuan spent his whole life practicing in the world of Dahui, painstakingly plotting, and single-handedly contributed to this battle between good and evil.

The emperor lives up to the painstaking people.

Finally let him see a broad road.

"The human body has three souls and seven souls, the soul idea, and the main body, also known as 'life'."

"The external skills and Taoism I have cultivated, the former refining the body, and the second-order refining the soul. The latter refines the soul, and the second-order spirit casting platform condenses the third soul. ”

"Strictly speaking, it should be called 'life cultivation' and 'sexual cultivation'."

"External merit is 'life cultivation', and cultivation is spirit."

"The Tao is 'sexual cultivation', and it is the soul that is cultivated."

Touching the threshold of the second order, Chen Jichuan's understanding of external skills and Taoism has become more profound, and he is no longer as narrow as before.

If you can feel the existence of the shadow of the Spirit, you will have the qualifications to advance to a higher level.

This is a crucial step.

After sensing the shadow that was lurking and wandering in the flesh and blood, as long as he successfully grabbed a shadow and poured his blood, vitality, and will into it, he would be considered to have successfully broken through and stepped into the second order of life cultivation' 'Soul Refining Realm'.

"Induction."

"Capture."

"Refining."

From the peak of Bao Dan to the Refining Realm, there are these three steps in between. These three steps are easy to say and difficult to say.

Such as Chen Jichuan.

After a lot of effort, he fought many battles, cultivated his qi and blood to the realm of 'fifteen bloods', and fought dozens of strong people who held the Dan alone, so he relied on the pinnacle battle to stimulate his full potential and perceive the existence of the shadow.

'Induction Shadow' is easy to say, but just looking at Chen Jichuan's extremely poor life, and only looking at the hundreds and thousands of Dan warriors in the Qinling World and the Great Hui World for thousands of years, they have been trapped on the tenth layer and cannot break through for a lifetime, so they know that it is difficult.

But the good thing is.

Once you've reached this point, the next two steps are much simpler.

Of course.

This 'simplicity' is also relative to Chen Jichuan.

"After sensing the shadow, it's time to capture the shadow. The shadow is hidden in flesh and blood, slippery to the extreme. If you want to refine it, you must first capture it. ”

"Block, catch."

This requires an extremely solid foundation and a very detailed control of strength, qi and blood.

Observe the flow of qi and blood, be meticulous, and surround the shadow with the help of heavy strength, blocking all paths, so that you can catch the shadow.

If the perception of strength is slightly insufficient, and you can't control the strength perfectly, as long as there is the slightest gap, don't think about it.

Ages.

With the help of heaven and earth treasures, the monks of the Destiny Dao improved their strength, blindly greedy for merit, and failed to comprehend it carefully, and in the end, even if they could sense the existence of the shadow, they could never capture it. I can only go back and carefully ponder and become familiar with the triple force of light and shade, but it is often too late.

In the end, I was still stuck at this step, and I regretted it for life.

Chen Jichuan has no worries.

He practiced again and again, and his foundation was extremely solid. Once you sense it, you can easily capture it.

After the capture.

It's refining.

This is the last step in the promotion and refinement, and it is also a key step that is no less than 'induction'. But unlike 'sensing the shadow', whether this step can be achieved or not is already determined.

"The so-called refining of the Shadow is actually to use qi and blood, vitality, strength, and so on as fuel to explode potential and inject the will into the Shadow. Since then, the Seven Spirits have the will to dominate, and they are no longer stragglers. One is not controlled, the other is like an arm, and the power derived from it is not known. The strength of the Destiny Path Cultivator can also be imagined. ”

But whether this step can be achieved or not depends not on the present, but on the past.

If a Dao monk wants to refine his spirit, he relies on his own qi and blood and vitality, and he must have abundant qi and blood as consumption and vigorous vitality to maintain.

These two are the most critical, which are both power, fuel, and medium.

For example, in the middle stage of Baodan and even the eighth and ninth layers of Baodan, even if you can feel the presence of the Shadow of the Spirit, even if you can capture the Shadow, there is not enough qi and blood to refine it.

Similarly.

If you are old and frail, your vitality will no longer be vigorous. Then even if you reach the peak of Baodan, reach the level of 'five bloods' and 'ten bloods', it is in vain.

There is also the element of will.

As people get older, their willpower inevitably declines.

Or if you have suffered a blow and your will is decadent, it is difficult to beat your will into the spirit.

All in all.

If you want to refine the Spirit, hard power and vitality are indispensable. The younger you are, the greater the hope of a breakthrough, and the older you are, the slimmer the hope of a breakthrough.

Such as Chen Jichuan in the world of Great Emblem.

Even if it reaches the appalling realm of 'fifteen bloods', the qi and blood are like a oven, but it is finally close to the limit of longevity. Vitality decays, willpower declines.

If you want to break through, there are many difficulties.

Unless you can find something like the undead grass.

Then with the help of the battle of life and death, the will is stimulated, so that there can be a glimmer of hope and refine the spirit in one fell swoop.

But how rare is the 'immortal grass'?

Chen Jichuan searched the Great Emblem World exhaustively, but he did not find similar spiritual objects.

After all, there is not enough vitality.

This is also the reason why he finally sensed the existence of the Shadow of the Spirit, but did not run for his life, but used the last moment to carefully understand the wonderful realm and become familiar with the flow of the Shadow.

……

"In the Great Emblem World, I sensed the existence of the shadow before I died, but I was short of vitality and couldn't break through."

"In the real world, my life Dao cultivation is still shallow at the moment, and my qi and blood are not strong, and I can't break through."

"But in the Qinling world, I am in the prime of life, and my vitality is at its peak. The cultivation of the life path has also reached the tenth layer of Baodan, refining ten drops of essence blood——"

Vitality, qi and blood are all up to standard.

The will is like a knife.

Breaking through the Bao Dan and promoting the refining spirit are within reach.

"That is, 'Dao Fruit', which gives me the opportunity to come back again and again."

"If it is a martial arts master in the Great Emblem World, even if he senses the existence of the 'Shadow Shadow' before he dies, he can only be limited by vitality in the end and die with regret."

Chen Jichuan was both emotional and happy.

If it weren't for the 'Tao Fruit', he would have fallen into such an embarrassing and desperate situation.

A thought flashed.

Then put that behind you for now.

The breakthrough is a foregone conclusion, and he has the bottom in his heart, Chen Jichuan is not in a hurry to enter the Qinling world and start to break through. Instead, he took advantage of this gap to deal with some trivial matters in reality.

……

Qinling World 460 years.

and then to the Great Emblem world for 600 years.

It was a total of 1,0060 years. In reality, Chen Jichuan has been in Panlong Mountain for two and a half years, which can be regarded as a preliminary foothold.

Next.

It's time to go back to Dachu to see Chen Shaohe, and by the way, teach him the strengthened "Sword Diagram".

"Two and a half years."

"In an environment like Da Chu, this kid should have become a congenital."

In the Dao Fruit World for thousands of years, Chen Jichuan has really stayed in it for five hundred years.

Not seen for five hundred years.

In Chen Jichuan's memory, Chen Shaohe's figure and facial features are a little blurry and long-lasting.

Only the longing is getting deeper and deeper.

Can't wait to see it.

"The Dao Fruit World has been in life for generations, and all people, whether they are teachers, friends, disciples, or juniors, are all like a flash in the pan."

"I can't catch it, I can't keep it."

"After experiencing life and death again and again, you may be downlooked, or you may fall into a demonic obstacle."

It is precisely because he is accustomed to seeing life and death parting that Chen Jichuan cherishes his relatives more and more.

And Chen Shaohe is his only relative in this life.

Chen Jichuan once pondered: Why do you need to practice assiduously like an ascetic?

Live forever?

Invincible?

That's all good, but it's only a superficial layer of it.

Chen Jichuan knew very well that he practiced hard in order to protect the people he wanted to protect.

Seeking immortality in order to have no parting from life and death.

If you want to be invincible in the world, you must have enough ability to protect your relatives.

After cultivating to the level of immortality and invincibility, there will be no more parting between life and death, and there will be no more bullying by others. At that time, bring your family and invite friends, travel around the three mountains and five mountains, the four seas and eight wildernesses, drink and talk happily, unrestrained, this is the life that Chen Jichuan dreams of.

As for exploring the mysteries of heaven and earth, it is only piggybacking.

At least for now, Chen Jichuan does not have such a big 'ambition'.

There was a lot of confusion in my mind.

Chen Jichuan shook his head, suppressed the emotions of longing, and thought about the matter: "The teleportation array that came to Panlong Mountain from Da Chu can only transmit the monks under the Qi refining level. I am already a Qi Refining Cultivator, and I can't use this teleportation array to return to Dachu anymore. ”

Panlong Mountain and Dachu are separated by many thousands of miles.

How to get back and forth is a big question.

If you can't use the teleportation array, if you want to rush back to Dachu from Panlong Mountain, with Chen Jichuan's current cultivation, I don't know how many years it will take.

There are all kinds of hardships and dangers on the way.

It is not only delayed, but also unpredictable.

Not advisable.

Fortunately, Chen Jichuan was prepared.

When he came to Panlong Mountain, he had already used 'Creation and Insight' to parse out the teleportation array laid by Lishui Shuifu.

He also carefully studied the teleportation formation in the Qinling World and the Great Emblem World.

Finally, before he died, he also divided his cultivation and strengthened this set of teleportation formations.

"There is no problem with the strengthened teleportation formation teleportation qi refining cultivator."

"But there's just a way."

"Next, I still have to collect materials, adjust the teleportation array, and strengthen it effectively."

Chen Jichuan thought in his heart and walked out of the cave.
