Volume 7 Spiritual Sacrifice to the Heavens, Xuantong I Ching Section 38 Emperor Xuanguang Ascends to the Alchemist
Xuanshi Mountain is not a mountain, but a huge "blue mist" in the shape of the word "mountain", the blue mist envelops the whole world, and the blue mist condenses into a fog platform, and the Xuanshi either stand or sit on it to cultivate. A blue dragon is entrenched in the blue mist, its volume accounts for one-third of the entire blue mist world, and the blue dragon is the life body and body/body of Emperor Xuan.
Among the nine lifelines of "gods, demons, witches, immortals, Buddhas, and mysteries", beasts and birds are demon veins, but "dragons" are neither beasts nor birds, and dragons are mystical veins. If you don't count the pseudo-ascended Hu Shan Eagle, Emperor Xuan is the last one to ascend on the earth, and his adventures are also extremely numerous, and the Blue Mist World is one of the many adventures.
When Emperor Xuan ascended to Xuanlu, the situation was almost similar to that of Hu Shan Eagle, Hu Shan Eagle appeared on the Silver Mist, and Emperor Xuan appeared in the Blue Mist World. Above the silver mist is the half-mother mang that left millions of years ago, and the blue mist world is the "escape" hexagram in the sixty-four hexagrams of the Book of Changes.
At that time, the hexagram was covered by a blue mist, and Emperor Xuan had a complete "Liujia General Outline" Xuantong, and he used this Xuantong to refine the "Xuantong" to make it his "unique world". And after the fusion of the "Escape Hexagram", Emperor Xuan's body also changed dramatically, and he became a blue dragon entrenched in the "Escape Hexagram".
In the process of refining the "Escape Hexagram", Emperor Xuan obtained four inheritances, four of which came from the four Ascended Beings, all of whom had ascended here from the ancient period of the Earth and participated in the earliest "wars". After Emperor Xuan digested the four inheritances, he also knew the war between the "Sixty-four Lights and Xuanguang", and also knew the destruction of the "Sixty-four Hexagrams of the Xuantong I Ching".
The "rejection" of all ascended people produced by the "Xuantong I Ching" is actually an invisible obliteration, and a large number of ascended people who are weaker or injured in the war of light are wiped out in the first "Xuantu", leaving no remnants. The days of comfortable cultivation were broken, and all the ascendants sensed the attack of "repulsion" all the time, and they quickly united, but soon found that the alliance was ineffective.
The Ascended are like boats in the ocean, searching for islands while fighting hunger, fatigue, and waves that can kill them. Every day, the Ascendants are wiped out, but there is no way out, some Ascendants give up resistance and are wiped out, some Ascenders continue to resist stubbornly, and finally, they see the "light".
Light has always existed, and it was created by the ascendants, who refined the sixty-four hexagrams of conquest into the sun, moon, and stars, and now, it is precisely the "light" they have refined that has become their hope for "life". All the ascendants entered their familiar "light", but the world inside the "light" was empty, with no living beings and no resources for their cultivation.
The Ascended began to divide the continent and move them into the world of "light", and the Xuantong I Ching was also densely cracked, and these rifts provided an opportunity for the void to "take advantage of the void". The Endless Void seeped in, widening the rift and cutting off the passage between the Ascendants, who could no longer be contacted.
The four ascenders who occupied the "escape" hexagram did not move the mainland into the hexagram, not that they had a premonition that this kind of "moving mountains and reclamation" would cause a resurgence of darkness, but that the time for these four ascenders to "leave the customs" was very late.
The four ascended ones quickly realized that they were not ostracized when they were in retreat, so what was their "state" when they were in retreat? There was no time for them to ponder, the sense of repulsion was already strong, and the resurgence of the void added to the danger, and the four ascended ones re-entered their retreat, the retreat.
The lifespan of the ascended is indeed very long, but it has not yet reached the point of "eternal life", and they do not need to eat, and the four life qi of the "soul element" in the hexagram are extremely rich, and they only need to absorb them to maintain their state. But they were too careless to forget that the "Escape Hexagram" had a real master, Dunguang, who secretly ambushed like an assassin, looking for an opportunity to assassinate the target.
By the time the four Ascended Beings sensed the killing intent, it was too late, and they all took the same fate, shattering the Escape Light and leaving their own legacy in the shattered Escape Light. This method can not only leave a message to the latecomers, but also suppress the retreat so that it cannot be recovered, and therefore, after Emperor Xuan ascended to the retreat hexagram, he could smoothly refine the retreat and make himself a "retreat".
Qingtian, Hell, Huangtian, and Houtu are the four ascendants, and after Emperor Xuan became the "Escape Light", he realized that they were not really dead, but they were not in the "Escape Hexagram", but hidden in the Xuanlu. When Emperor Xuan entered Xuanlu, he was perceived by Emperor Zhen, Emperor Dui and other eight people, and then became the ninth person of Xuanzong, but Emperor Xuan did not reveal the news of "Blue Heaven Hell, Yellow Heaven and Earth".
Hu Shandiao looked confused at this time, he didn't expect Emperor Xuan to tell him this, what he couldn't figure out was that Emperor Xuan told him these secrets. Could it be a confession? But seeing that Emperor Xuan's body was extremely colorful and dazzling, it was obvious that he was not yet dying, so he wanted to let himself help find the four ascendants?
Don't be kidding, Emperor Xuan has been looking for thousands of years and hasn't found it, how can he find it?
"You can find it", Emperor Xuan said with more confidence than Hu Shandiao, and then turned into a light and disappeared.
Hu Shandiao gave up after struggling for a while, Emperor Xuan said that he could find it, that was what he said, and it was up to him whether he could find it. The matter of the Ascendant was too complicated, Hu Shandiao felt that it was still a plan to continue to go home, and he figured out an idea, that is, let the people of Jilu become Sanqing disciples, and then let them sacrifice their knowledge points to Sanqing.
This line of thinking soon proved to be wrong, and the knowledge points could not be sacrificed, but Hu Shandiao also found another way, and the hundreds of disciples he forcibly recruited all had an urgent desire to be "strong". After Hu Shandiao performed the "pointing" general category Xuantong, the disciple had an epiphany, and at the same time, 50 knowledge points flew out of the disciple's body and fell into Hu Shandiao's life.
Array Character Xuantong: 1 Exploration, 2 Recognition, 3 Knowledge, 4 Points, 5 Creation, 6 Enlightenment, 7 Dao, 8 Merit, 9 Morality.
The incomplete Xuantong chain also has the advantage of being incomplete, that is, the consumption can be controlled, but the general outline Xuantong cannot be controlled, Hu Shandiao is currently the second fateful, and he controls the consumption of the soul spirit and constantly experiments. Later, it was discovered that for Qi Refiners of different strengths, the effects of ignition were also different, and the life values consumed were also different.
The cultivators of the land are collectively referred to as "qi refiners", and they are divided into spirit refiners, soul refiners, spirit refiners, and alchemists, and the great refiners are all professional but do not have attack power. The identity of the Great Refiner is transcendent, and he can teach the Qi Refiners of the four professions to cultivate, but it is not so easy to become a disciple of the Great Refiner.
The level of the Qi Refiner is very high, there are a total of 99 levels, and since the history of hundreds of thousands of Qi Refiners, the number of Qi Refiners who have reached level 99 is less than double digits, and the Great Refiner does not have a level but only a title. The lowest level is called the refiner, and then the junior refiner, the intermediate refiner, and the senior refiner, and the great refiner is the title of the strongest refiner.
Hu Shandiao found that the all-professional "refiner" was extremely strange, and his ignition was completely ineffective for this all-professional, no, not invalid, but there was no return. The effect of ignition on the refiner is excellent, but the refiner has no knowledge points to return to Hu Shandiao, and Hu Shandiao stops after igniting a few refiners.
Metaphysical cultivation, spiritual cultivation, holy cultivation, and hexagram cultivation, although the cultivation techniques are different, but after all, they are different paths to the same end, and the refiner is the fifth type, which can also be called "cultivation". The unnamed Great Refiner of the Ripple Clan has had as many as a thousand epiphany after watching the new mystical weapons such as the Void Aircraft Carrier and the Xuanlu Warship, and his knowledge points have also accumulated to an integer - 30,000.
The Great Refiner said to Tang Sangyang that he was about to ascend, and Hu Shandiao hurriedly "teleported" from the hinterland of the Water Country to Tang Sangyang, preparing to observe the Ascension of the Great Refiner. The Great Refiner is unobstructed in front of the spiritual cultivator, and a spiritual cultivator can penetrate the soul thoughts into it to perceive the state of the Great Refiner.
The state of the Great Refiner at this time is completely a "balloon" dressed in human skin, his flesh and bones, etc., are all vaporized, and his ascension is constantly expanding, and 30,000 knowledge points are also constantly consumed with the expansion of the Great Refiner's body like "Dabai". When the knowledge point dropped to 0, there was a loud "bang" accompanied by a howling wind, flying sand and stones, and the great refiner exploded.
Except for Hu Shandiao, Tang Sangyang and others who were able to stand firm and not miss the ascension of the Great Refiner, the rest of the spiritual cultivators below the Nine Directions were constantly retreating by the strong wind, and many people were even swept away by the strong wind. Hu Shandiao and the others saw that the Great Refiner did not really explode, but that the whole person turned into a ball of "qi" and continued to rise into the air, and finally disappeared without a trace.
Jifu is located in the north of the Libu mainland, and Jifu City is in the east of Jifu, with a population of more than 7 million, and its main business is planting, so there are wide plantations everywhere. Under the clear sky, colorful plants grow comfortably, suddenly, a gust of evil wind hits, in an instant, flowers and plants fly, trees bend their waists, wait for the evil wind to disappear, the remnants of flowers and willows everywhere, and a beautiful man who is not wearing anything is standing in the fallen flowers and broken leaves.
The Great Refiner felt that the wind was blowing and the bird was cool and hurriedly covered it, compared to the weak wind when he was in the land, the Great Refiner at this time was directly the cultivation of a fatalistic man. He appeared near the plantation complex after a flash, and lived in the base of the Shangqing Palace for a while, and the Great Refiner knew how to pry open the window, this product had a very strong taste, and he actually picked out a pair of women's underwear.
The Great Refiner muttered in his heart, why is there only one cloth in this underwear? Can't cover the birds, but can't cover the eggs? In the end, I threw away the thong and found a pair of loose pants with short sleeves to cover my body. As he was searching the manor owner's house, he heard a sharp "drip" sound, and the Great Refiner looked towards the place where the sound came from.
"Oh no, this is what Tang Sangyang said about the general ceremony."
The Great Refiner grabbed a handful of scrolls and ran away, he was clever and knew how to avoid all the areas covered by the "Tongyi Eye", so he left the plantation without danger. But the police did not give up the pursuit because the prisoner escaped without a trace, and they had a cooperation agreement with the "Xuantong Ruyi" branch of the Jifu Mansion, and they could apply for access to that surveillance.
Without any guilt, the master stunned a primary school student who had just finished school, snatched his instrument, and then used the instrument to beat Hu Shandiao's instrument without knowing whether he was alive or dead. After the Great Refiner successfully ascended, Hu Shandiao had already returned to Xuanlu, and then waited for the contact of the Great Refiner.
"As expected, the place where the Great Refiner ascended is in the Concubine's Mansion", after Hu Shandiao listened to the Great Refiner's call, he let him stay where he was, even if he was caught by the police, don't resist.
The Great Refiner was very obedient, and did not make any resistance in front of the three police officers who were stepping on the flight pedal, and then, before he was stuffed in the small black room, a Tongyi came in and asked the police Rong to release him.
In other places, Hu Shandiao may let the Great Refiner run away quickly, but after leaving the land, Hu Shandiao will have his hands and eyes open to the sky, he only needs to say a word to Teacher Jiang Chaoxian, and the Great Refiner will leave the police station without any. As soon as he left the police station, the Great Refiner was connected to a "small realm-level" mysterious weapon, and then took Jiang Valve's own "teleportation array" to arrive at "Leaving Beijing".
In order to whitewash the soldiers of the original Lijin Legion, Hu Shandiao established a large number of household registrations, which are all real, and this is also related to the conspiracy of the land king "Jiang Shizun" of the Libu Army. However, Hu Shandiao did not alarm Jiang Shizun, but only used Jiang Shizun's layout to create a large number of new accounts for himself, and the Great Refiner soon had a new identity.
After getting these done, Hu Shandiao and the Great Refiner found a place to sit down and drink tea, the tea was just ready, and the Great Refiner just smelled it and said that it was inferior tea, and he didn't drink it.
Hu Shandiao said that he likes to drink or not, numb, and the epiphany made the great refiner change from a bad old man to a middle-aged man, and the ascension made the middle-aged man become a beautiful young man, and the qi refining trick is so awesome? No, the Great Refiner doesn't seem to be refining Qi, and the Refiner is almost always traveling before he becomes a Great Refiner, but he will be surrounded by students, teaching while traveling.
Although the refiner has a high vision for selecting students, the students are an indispensable element of "cultivation" for the refiner, and it is impossible for a refiner without students to grow up. But it does not mean that the more students there are, the faster they will grow, the more quality is not the quantity, of course, the more students with good qualifications, the better.
Since the Great Refiner of the Lian Clan became a refiner at the age of 17, he has taught a total of 27,541 students, one of whom is now a level 90 Qi Refiner, and the worst is now an 80 level Qi Refiner. It was the more than 27,000 students who made him a great refiner, and after becoming a great refiner, there was no need to travel, and the next time was precipitation, that is, understanding.
If you don't have an epiphany, you can't go up again, but if you have multiple epiphanies, you have a chance to ascend.
The reason why the Great Refiner will continue to have epiphany when observing the new type of mysterious weapon has a lot to do with his own accumulation, in other words, the Great Refiner has also had thoughts about Void Aircraft Carriers, Xuanlu Warships, and so on in his lifetime travels. If another Great Refiner came, if he didn't think about it, it would be impossible to have thousands of epiphanies.
"You Xuan women are so enthusiastic?" The Great Refiner looked at the dozens of notes on the table with the Tongyi number written on them, and asked Hu Shandiao with a thoughtful expression.
Hu Shandiao said that he was enthusiastic, this is an era of looking at faces.
The tea couldn't be drunk, the great refiner said that he wouldn't drink the inferior tea, and there were constantly beautiful women coming up to try to abduct the great refiner, Hu Shandiao took the great refiner to a quiet place. The Great Refiner said that the mountains and rivers have already seen and vomited, and he still likes the prosperous city of the Xuan people.
Hu Shandiao ignored the chatter of this product, and his soul thoughts could no longer penetrate the body of the Great Refiner, so he could only directly ask the Great Refiner what the current situation was. The ascension of the Great Refiner is not the life body into the hexagram, but the flesh/body descending on the Xuanlu, which breaks Hu Shandiao's previous inference, Hu Shandiao thought that the ascension that the Great Refiner said was the life body into the hexagram, but now it seems that this is really a flight ascension.
"We are the same as you Xuanlu people, as you Xuanlu people said, our Xuanlu people have degenerated, but most of them are degenerate, and a small part is not really degenerate, and this small number of people are refiners. When a refiner is born, he has a complete branch Xuantong chain, but this Xuantong chain is gray, and he can break through to the Great Refiner by teaching, traveling, etc., so that he can break through to the Great Refiner by making them light up a little bit."
General outline, general category, classification, branch, detail, legal effect, these concepts were told to the great refiner by Hu Shandiao, Tang Sangyang and others, and in the words of Jilu, it is called "small refining (chain), big chain".
There were also nearly a hundred children born in the Void Land, and 21 of them were already seven or eight years old, and the Great Refiner was even more shocked when he saw these children than when he saw the Void Aircraft Carrier, and he shouted on the spot, "Is the Xuanlu human gene really so strong?" The reason why the Great Refiner was surprised was because these 21 children were all "Refiners".
The Great Refiner also said that it was fortunate that he did not leave with such a child, although the parents of these children are all Xuanlu people, but these children were born in Jilu and also have the shackles of the Jilu people, not genetic shackles but "world shackles". The Xuanlu people are not a monk and cannot enter the land freely, and the monk is the key to open the shackles of the world, while the people of the Xuanlu do not have the key, and can only leave in the way of "ascension".
Hu Shandiao didn't understand it at the time, but after Emperor Xuan talked to him, he also figured out the meaning of "world shackles" at this time. The hexagram light is the "door" between the hexagram and the Xuanlu, and when the hexagram saints block the door, the hexagram will lose the passage to other continents.
Emperor Xuan refined the "Escape Light" to become the "Escape Light", and the real capital of Xuanlu, "Xuanjing", is actually "Escape Lu", not the "Escaped One, Returned One" as Hu Shandiao previously speculated. Emperor Xuan became a master of the "gate", he opened the door, Xuanjing was able to communicate with the other eight continents, and the time when Xuanjing became the capital of Xuanlu was more than 5,000 years ago.
This shows that it took more than 2,000 years for Xuanjing (Dunlu) to complete the transformation of the general environment, so that it is no different from Xuanlu, and people born in Xuanjing will not be the same as Jilu.
