Chapter 21: Enlightening the Five Realms
The cultivation of the Heavenly Spirit Continent, the currently known realm is divided into four steps, enlightenment, agility, springing, and channeling.
In the thatched hut of Tianyuan Mountain, Wang Lele explained to Xu Tian in front of him, so that Xu Tian, who was completely unfamiliar, gradually had a clear understanding of the world.
"What about the top of the gods?" Xu Tian asked Wang Lele.
"At present, a pair of hands on the mainland that have reached the realm of the gods can be counted, they belong to the cutting-edge existence, every such strong person is a deterrent forbidden power, and it is so difficult to reach the gods, and some people are difficult to achieve in their lifetime. As for the Tongshen, it has always been a legend in the Heavenly Spirit Continent, and no one has ever seen it. Wang Lele said to Xu Tian, his face showing a touch of yearning for the realm above the gods.
"What is the purpose of cultivation, can you really live forever?" Xu Tian asked suspiciously, as an outsider, he had always been an atheist, and his thinking had not changed until he came here, but he had always questioned whether immortality really existed.
Wang Lele shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either. In the end, he seemed to think of something, and said: "I remember that Senior Brother said that the purpose of cultivation is to make one's life a little smoother, to see that injustices can be managed, there are good things to do, and no one dares to bully you or the people around you. ”
"Well, I made a note of it, what the senior brother said is right, only oneself is the foundation. Xu Tian nodded and said.
"Well, don't think about it so much yet, what you have to do now is to lay a good foundation and pass the Enlightenment Realm first. Wang Lele said in the tone of a senior brother,
"Then Senior Brother, how should I practice?" Xu Tian patiently asked.
"Your body doesn't have the power to stimulate the bloodline, and the current cultivation method is not suitable for you, so you can only practice through traditional methods. This is the disadvantage of not having the power of the bloodline, the monk who has the power of the bloodline, only needs to use the blood to slowly gather the power of the bloodline into the dantian, and then keep squeezing it, so that it produces qualitative changes, bursts out of the Lingxi, and can step into the second realm, this method can be completed in only three steps. However, for monks who are mortal bloodlines, they can only practice through body refining, which is divided into five steps, using the operation of blood and qi to temper their own skin, flesh, tendons, bones, and blood. To make it achieve perfection, the body is flawless, so as to produce spiritual light in the body, open up the dantian, but this process makes people miserable, the body is not as good as death, and few people can persevere. Wang Lele came one by one, told Xu Tian almost everything he knew, and finally told Xu Tian that in the early stage, the cultivators with the power of the bloodline might have an advantage, but when they reached the second level realm, the body refiners were not necessarily weaker.
"It seems that this practice is really amazing. Xu Tian was looking at the palm of his hand, at this time, the blood qi in his body was constantly surging, he couldn't wait, does it sound very good, it suits me very well, as for the pain of refining the body, Xu Tian completely ignored it, can there be the pain of demonization liquid?
"Now that you have the cultivation method, you just need to practice according to the above recipes. Okay, you remember to think about it first, and then ask me if you don't understand, I have to go to my senior sister now. Wang Lele said eagerly, and then ran towards the kitchen with a puff of smoke.
In the thatched house, Xu Tian sat cross-legged, his consciousness came to the sea of knowledge, in front of the grand ancient tree, hesitated for a moment, and then rushed towards the ancient tree. Among the ancient trees, one after another scriptures were suspended in the air, Xu Tian's whole body was infused, watching carefully, and at the same time deducing in his heart. In the end, Xu Tian withdrew from Zhihai and opened his eyes.
"This primordial Dao Sutra is really extraordinary, although I haven't figured it out yet, but the method of refining the body of the enlightening realm is roughly understood. In the grass hut, Xu Tian muttered to himself.
Then, a strange handprint was formed, and his body writhed extremely awkwardly, and Xu Tian began to practice according to the Taichu Dao Sutra. With the twisting of the body, the blood qi in the body began to roar violently, surging towards the surface of the skin regularly, and after a while, Xu Tian's whole person was shrouded in huge blood qi, and the figure of the whole person disappeared in the center of the blood mist.
Hiss......
The operation of blood qi pounded the surface of Xu Tian's skin, and a sharp tingling sensation reached Xu Tian's mind, making him gasp for no reason, and sighed: "No wonder the blood of the mortal body is not favored, just this first step of skin training, it is not something that ordinary people can bear, if it weren't for the experience of demonizing liquid, it is really difficult for me to say whether I can carry it now." ”
The cultivation was not over yet, and the roar of blood and qi became more and more ferocious, and Xu Tian, who was originally gasping for air, couldn't help but let out a scream, the voice was sharp, echoing on Tianyuan Mountain.
"Senior sister, do you think Xu Tian can carry it?" In the kitchen of the thatched house, Wang Lele looked in the direction of Xu Tian and asked with a worried expression.
"Don't worry, you junior brother, it's not as simple as you think, he will get through. Li Huahua also looked in Xu Tian's direction and responded. Being able to successfully enlighten with a mortal body to win the life stone in the Enlightenment Secret Realm, plus also passed the assessment of the Wind Spirit Sect, is this really an ordinary mortal bloodline?
In Xu Tiancao's house, when he opened his eyes again, the sun was already rising on the horizon, and before he knew it, the night had passed. Xu Tian stood up, moved his aching body, then washed himself a little, and walked towards the outside of the grass hut.
"Little junior brother, it's early!" Outside the thatched hut, the senior brother sat quietly by the small lake, looking at the scriptures in his hand.
"Senior brother early. Xu Tian stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
"How's it going?" Nianyu turned his head to look at Xu Tian and asked, while putting the scripture book in his hand aside.
"It's okay, I can't put it into words, but I think this exercise is quite suitable for me. Xu Tian knew that Senior Brother wanted to instruct him, so he quickly told him about his situation.
"It's best if you have your own ideas, I can only give you some advice, since you practice the body, you must also need to practice some boxing techniques, here is a book of ancient boxing methods, you take it to practice well, one inside the master, one outside the master, maybe the effect will be better." Nianyu took out an ancient book, handed it to Xu Tian, and then expressed his opinion.
"Thank you, brother. After receiving the ancient books, Xu Tian couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him. He now has a majestic body of blood, but he lacks the corresponding fist moves, and it is inevitable that he will be a little restrained against the enemy, so he can only use brute force with wide openings and closings.
"You're welcome, since you call me Senior Brother, these are all things I should do. Nianyu smiled and said gently.
Next, under the guidance of Nianyu, Xu Tian began to practice the boxing techniques depicted in this ancient book. This ancient boxing method is very unique, and there seems to be an artistic conception between each move, which envelops this space as the moves are performed. The ancient boxing method has a total of five moves, which just correspond to the five realms of enlightenment.
In the days to come, Xu Tian was on Tianyuan Mountain, practicing the ancient boxing method during the day, and practicing the Taichu Dao Sutra at night, so repeatedly, never stopped, and the blood and qi in his body became more and more huge, making a sound in the body, and the skin on the surface flickered with a dim red light under the background of the blood, Xu Tian's first layer of realm skin training was completed, and next, he was going to start tempering the flesh and blood in his body.
Flesh and blood are no better than skin, and it also contains a lot of nerves and tendons, making it extremely difficult to cultivate. Xu Tian found that although the cultivation of the body was extremely difficult, the effect it brought was undoubted. At the beginning of tempering flesh and blood, he often did not control the blood qi accurately enough, and injured the meridians in it, making Xu Tian grin in pain. But as he became familiar with repeated practice, Xu Tian not only made rapid progress in the realm of tempering flesh and blood, but also became more and more precise in the control of blood qi in his body.
As the days passed, Xu Tian became more and more familiar with the five senior brothers and sisters, at this time, Xu Tian was cooking in the kitchen with the third senior sister Li Huahua and the fourth senior brother Wang Lele?
"I didn't expect you to keep up with me so quickly, it seems that your rookie protection period has expired. Wang Lele was collecting firewood under the stove on the side to add to the fire, and said gloating to Xu Tian, who was serving vegetables to Li Huahua on the side.
"Senior brother, you are wrong, don't you think, being able to help the senior brothers cook is the only thing we can do now? We have a low level of cultivation, and we can't help outside, so we can only guard Tianyuan Mountain well, and I am very happy to let the senior brothers come back to eat a good meal, plus being with such a beautiful senior sister, what a great blessing this is! Why are you still full of resentment?" Xu Tian's tone was excited, his face flushed, and his words seemed to come from the bottom of his heart, revealing his true feelings everywhere. After coming to Tianyuan Mountain for a while, Xu Tian knew that anyone on this mountain could be provoked, and he must not mess with the third senior sister.
"Lele, sometimes, you should really study hard with your junior brother, don't always bury yourself here all day long. Not long after Xu Tiancai joined Tianyuan Mountain, he knew that he was worried about Tianyuan Mountain, and he was much stronger than you. Li Huahua held the spoon in her hand and kept stir-frying in the pot.
"Senior sister, do you believe this?" Wang Lele was not convinced, and looked at Li Huahua resentfully.
"You come less, among them, you are the poorest, and you have the most eyes. Hurry up, the senior brother and the second senior brother are coming back soon, and bring the meal to the dining table. Li Huahua fiddled with the ingredients in her hand and ignored Wang Lele's eyes.
"I'll come, senior sister, let me do this kind of thing in the future, senior sister, you rest. Xu Tian stepped forward and took the tray from Li Huahua's hand.
"Okay, it's better for the junior brother to be considerate of the senior sister, and after eating later, I will promote you two times. Li Huahua said with a smile.
"It's over, this little junior brother is too thief, it seems that my position on this Tianyuan Mountain is not guaranteed!" Wang Lele sat by the stove and said with a miserable face.
"Alright, hurry up and pack up and come out to eat. Looking at Wang Lele, Li Huahua said speechlessly.
